Chapter 1031 Cracks
On the sand dunes, his consciousness gradually blurred. In a trance, he saw himself in childhood and his parents who had long passed away. His parents' faces were filled with warm smiles and they extended their hands to him. Scorpion's heart was filled with an unprecedented calmness, and he slowly walked towards his parents' direction.
At the same time, the young puppeteers of the Sand Village felt the disappearance of Scorpion's life force. They rushed to the dunes and watched Scorpion leave peacefully, their eyes full of sorrow and respect.
In the days after Scorpion left, the puppet art of Sand Village flourished. Young puppeteers inherited Scorpion's skills and ideas and continued to innovate. They used puppets to protect the village, allowing Sand Village to always stand firm in troubled times. Although Scorpion's body has disappeared, his love for puppet art and his spirit of protecting the village, like the stars in the sky, will always shine in the hearts of everyone in Sand Village, becoming an immortal legend on this land. One day many years later, a mysterious old man came to Sand Village. He claimed to know how to make the deceased return briefly, and was willing to perform this technique in memory of Scorpion. The young puppeteers were skeptical, but in order to see Scorpion again, they decided to give it a try.
In the ancient ceremony, Scorpion's figure slowly emerged. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Sand Village in front of him, and saw the younger generations who inherited his skills, his eyes were full of satisfaction. The young puppeteers gathered around Scorpion and asked him about the difficult problems of puppet art, and Scorpion patiently answered them one by one.
However, the short reunion will eventually end. As the light gradually faded, Scorpion was about to leave again. He said to everyone: "Continue to protect the village and let the puppet art be passed down forever." After that, the figure disappeared completely. But this time, the people of Sand Village had more power in their hearts. With Scorpion's expectations, they went further and further on the road of puppet art, allowing Scorpion's spirit to continue in the long river of time. After a few years, Sand Village encountered an unprecedented crisis. A group of powerful dark puppeteers attacked. Their puppet skills were evil and weird. Although the young puppeteers of Sand Village fought hard, they gradually fell behind. Just when everyone was desperate, the mysterious old man appeared again. He told everyone that Scorpion's spiritual power still existed. If the essence of Scorpion's puppet skills inherited by Sand Village could be gathered, Scorpion might be awakened again for a short time. After hearing this, the young puppeteers immediately took action and integrated what they had learned. When all the power gathered and the light shone, Scorpion really appeared again. He looked at the village in crisis with a firm look in his eyes, and manipulated the powerful puppets to fight the dark puppeteer. Under the leadership of Scorpion, the Sand Village finally repelled the enemy. After the crisis was resolved, Scorpion's figure began to dissipate again. This time, he left with a more gratified smile, and the people of the Sand Village were more determined to inherit his spirit and protect the village. However, this attack by the dark puppeteer was only a prelude. Not long after, a more powerful evil force learned that Scorpion could be awakened briefly, and they tried to capture Scorpion's spiritual power for their own use. This force sent out more terrifying masters to attack the Sand Village again. Although the young puppeteers were terrified, they remembered Scorpion's instructions and resolutely resisted.
Just when they were about to fall into despair again, the mysterious old man brought a surprising news: it turned out that when Scorpion returned briefly before, he had left a part of his special spiritual power in the inherited skills of the Sand Village. When the young puppeteers fought with all their strength to stimulate this power, Scorpion reappeared in a new and more powerful posture. This time, he not only had to protect the village, but also had to completely crush the conspiracy of the evil forces. Scorpion fought side by side with the young puppeteers, bursting out with unprecedented power and defeating the evil forces in one fell swoop. After that, although Scorpion left again, the power he left behind was forever integrated into the Sand Village, allowing the village to be stable and prosperous in the years to come. Many years later, the Sand Village ushered in a grand celebration to commemorate Scorpion's protection and contribution to the village. The young puppeteers made exquisite Scorpion puppets and displayed them at the celebration. Just as everyone was immersed in joy, the sky suddenly became overcast and a strange wave came. It turned out that the evil forces had not been completely eliminated, and they secretly accumulated strength to make a comeback. This time, they brought more evil forbidden techniques, trying to destroy the Sand Village and the spiritual heritage left by Scorpion in one fell swoop. Although the power left by Scorpion is still there, it is somewhat powerless in the face of such a powerful forbidden technique. Just when the young puppeteers fell into despair again, the mysterious old man appeared again. He said that Scorpion hid part of his spiritual power in his body at the beginning, and he could release it at the critical moment.
So the old man and the young puppeteers worked together, and Scorpion's power erupted again, turning into a dazzling light, which not only dispelled the evil, but also purified the remnants of that evil force. From then on, there was no more threat to the Sand Village, and Scorpion's legend became an eternal legend, inspiring generations of puppeteers. However, after the light that purified the remnants of evil dissipated, a mysterious space-time crack quietly appeared over the Sand Village. A low roar came faintly from the crack, and a huge and hideous alien puppet slowly poked out. It exuded a stronger and more bizarre aura than the previous evil forces. It was actually a terrifying alien existence that was accidentally summoned by the previous evil forbidden technique. The young puppeteers just breathed a sigh of relief, and then tensed up their nerves in an instant. The mysterious old man frowned, and he realized that this might be an unprecedented challenge. The power that Scorpion left in his body had just been consumed, and it would be difficult to erupt again in a short time. Just when everyone was at a loss, the exquisite Scorpion puppets displayed at the celebration automatically combined, emitting a soft but firm light, confronting the alien puppets. The young puppeteers were encouraged to control their puppets to join the battle. In the fierce confrontation, they gradually found the weakness of the puppets from another world, and worked together to launch a fatal attack to repel them. The cracks in time and space slowly closed, and the Sand Village returned to peace again. And this new crisis also made the spiritual inheritance of Scorpion more profound in the hearts of the young puppeteers, and their belief in protecting the village became more firm. But just when everyone thought that the crisis was completely resolved, the closed cracks in time and space trembled slightly, and a strange light shot out from it, hitting the Scorpion puppets that were combined together. The puppets lost their light in an instant and scattered all over the ground. At the same time, the puppets from another world broke through the remaining cracks at a faster speed and appeared in front of everyone again, and their strength seemed to be even stronger. The hearts of the young puppeteers sank to the bottom of the valley. They had just consumed a lot of physical strength. Now facing a stronger enemy, they didn't know what to do. The mysterious old man took a deep breath, and he knew he had to fight. He guided the young puppeteers to gather their respective mental powers together to form a powerful energy wave. Just as the energy wave was about to be sent out, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was Scorpion. It turned out that he sensed the crisis of the Sand Village and returned across the boundary for a short time. Scorpion joined the battle and coordinated with the energy waves of the young puppeteers to attack the alien puppets again. This time, they successfully repelled the alien puppets completely, and the space-time rift was completely closed. The Sand Village finally ushered in true peace, and Scorpion's heroic deeds were also praised more loudly in the village.
