People are Behind the Scenes, and I Can Do the Material Fusion!

23: Star River MapMost eye-catching was the hair-thin golden object in the clone’s hand.

【Fantasy Godshard Fragment (Gold): This is a tiny fragment forcibly separated from the Godshard of a deity who governed illusion and dreams, just as he was about to fall.】

When Su Yi first saw this Godshard Fragment, his heart was not filled with excitement, but rather a hint of unease.

If such a small fragment was already a gold-tier material, how powerful must a complete Godshard be?

And for even such a powerful existence to fall, it meant that this world might be more dangerous and complex than he had imagined.

Realizing this, Su Yi quickly suppressed the slight arrogance he had felt earlier due to his abundant gains.

Su Yi stared at the golden fragment before him, lost in thought.

Ultimately, he decided to use it for item fusion, rather than directly fusing it with himself.

As for whether he could collect enough fragments to restore the entire Godshard, Su Yi felt he could only let nature take its course—if he was lucky enough to gather them, that would be great, but if not, it didn’t matter.

After all, what if a complete Godshard was truly pieced together and that deity revived?

If the other party turned out to be an enemy, wouldn’t he just be creating trouble for himself?

”Waste is definitely not an option.”

Su Yi mused to himself, ”Since it’s a material, I’ll use it for fusion.”

However, no matter how extraordinary this material was, Su Yi would never integrate it into his own body.

After all, this fragment was neither a safe material dropped through combat nor obtained from a system lottery.

To some extent, he had simply picked it up.

Moreover, a Critical Point had appeared right at his doorstep, and then this thing showed up.

What if this thing was part of a conspiracy?

And if he rashly integrated it into himself, once that deity suddenly revived one day and wanted to reclaim his Godshard Fragment...

The consequences would be unpredictable.

If he couldn’t defeat them at that time, wouldn’t he be completely screwed?

Since he couldn’t risk fusing it with himself, he could only choose other methods.

Just then, the clone had killed quite a few enemies during this period.

And Su Yi’s energy points had successfully surpassed the 100,000 mark.

At such a moment, of course, it was time for a thousand consecutive draws to reward himself!

As flashes of light flickered.

As expected, the system’s lottery probability seemed to have been quietly lowered again.

Even with a thousand consecutive draws, he only obtained ten purple-quality materials.

But Su Yi didn’t pay much attention to this; instead, he carefully selected two of the better-looking purple materials.

【Stele of Civilization in the Star River (Purple): In the depths of a distant star sea, a highly advanced civilization left an eternal monument for its race.】

【Soul Diagram of the Heavenly River (Purple): As the distant Star River dissipated, a mysterious and unique treasure was born. Whenever someone gazes upon it, they always gain unexpected insights and rewards from it.】

After fusion, it became:

【Star River Diagram】

【Eternal Spark: This is a Star Diagram carrying the spark of civilization, protected by the authority of illusion. By consuming energy, it can achieve mass resurrection and bestow a unique mark called [Star Scar]. As long as energy is sufficient, it can achieve virtually infinite resurrections.】

【Dream Faith: When you use the [Star Scar] mark on someone, they don’t need to actively believe in you. As long as they harbor dreams, fantasies, or even daydream, faith power will automatically be generated. This power is extremely versatile and can be used for various purposes, whether it’s improving one’s realm, restoring status, or other uses.】

【Tianhe Tuluo: This ability can implant a special seed within those marked with [Star Scar]. This seed will be activated under extreme emotions, and once opened, it can draw upon the starlight in the starry sky to condense a Tianhe Diagram within the body. Subsequently, cultivators can practice according to the operational laws of the Tianhe Diagram, equivalent to awakening a supernatural ability and obtaining a set ofSupporting exercises (matching cultivation techniques).】

This was what was fused from the gold-tier material—the 【Star River Diagram】!

Although the 【Star River Diagram】 possessed such heaven-defying abilities, Su Yi did not madly expand his influence because of it.

He understood that while these abilities were very powerful, they were not essential for him.

After drawing so many items this time, most things could be accomplished.

However, a subtle worry still lingered in Su Yi’s mind: if he accumulated a large amount of faith power, would he accidentally revive a certain deity?

Although he had full confidence in the system’s reliability, ”it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Therefore, he decided to use the 【Star River Diagram】 as a trump card or auxiliary tool, rather than fully investing himself in it.

As for the last ability—planting a seed in the body and activating extraordinary potential—Su Yi also found it quite practical.

But he wouldn’t use it on himself; after all, using this thing was not as good as fusing something with himself once.

So there was no need to take that risk.

Returning to the present timeline, after multiple deaths and resurrections, most had basically awakened completely, and everyone had their own path to the extraordinary.

Most people on site had made their choices, with only a very small minority remaining neutral, choosing neither the Calamity Court nor the Star Constellation Society.

Most of these people were toddlers or elderly individuals whose bodies were frail with age.

However, the vast majority chose to join one of these two factions.

Just then, the white-clothed man, seeing that no one else was hesitant to join, snorted coldly and prepared to turn and leave.

”You want to leave after snatching people? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?” a slightly aged voice came from outside.

The white-clothed man stopped, looked up, and saw an old man, appearing to be seventy or eighty years old, leaning on a walking stick, standing not far away.

He said disdainfully, ”You Ji of the Star Constellation Society, even the Azure Dragon didn’t stop us, so what are you, running out here?”

You Ji smiled slightly upon hearing this, and his walking stick gently tapped the void.

An invisible ripple rapidly spread outwards, and instantly, a powerful surge of psychic energy enveloped everyone present.

Except for Su Yi’s clone, everyone found themselves unable to move.

Even the monsters in the distance were frozen in place, and those flying in the air were motionless as if a pause button had been pressed.

After You Ji finished all this, he turned to the white-clothed man and slowly said:

”The reason Lord Azure Dragon didn’t act was simply because he disdained bullying the small.”

”If it were your current attitude, even if Lord Azure Dragon killed you, your ’master’ wouldn’t say a word for you.”

Upon hearing this, the white-clothed man and the others seemed to suffer a great insult, and various elemental forces on their bodies began to fluctuate violently.

The white-clothed man even directly broke free from his restraints, and with the force of thunder, charged directly in front of You Ji.

”Do you think I’m afraid of you just because you’re older?”

However, his thunderous punch stopped abruptly just three inches from You Ji’s face.

At the same time, the green-clothed man, who had stealthily gotten behind You Ji at some point, was also frozen.

Just as the remaining five were about to step forward to help, a girl holding a long saber suddenly blocked their path.

Mao Tu looked at the five people before her and softly said, ”Weren’t you quite arrogant just now?”

”It seems it’s time to settle accounts.”

Mao Tu’s lips curved slightly, and before her words finished, her figure instantly vanished from where she stood.

The five people also didn’t delay for half a second, directly mobilizing their respective elemental forces.

They each controlled the five elemental forces: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

As they made their moves, all the natural elements within several miles were summoned and converged into a massive force.

These elements rapidly condensed, forming a gigantic giant a hundred meters tall, emanating a violent aura and continuously releasing suffocating fluctuations all around.

On the other side, You Ji showed no weakness.

Under the suppression of the white-clothed man and the green-clothed man’s wind and lightning power, the grandeur of the scene was in no way inferior to Mao Tu’s side.

The visual impact generated by the collision of the two sides’ powers was shocking, as if heaven and earth were trembling.

Immediately after, the battle fully erupted, and a violent energy storm swept in all directions.

The aftermath of this battle was astonishingly powerful, even tearing apart the monster horde not far away.

The crowd inside the mall, however, was protected by a layer of light blue shield cast by the Azure Dragon, preventing them from being affected.

Everyone on site was stunned by this scene, their eyes wide open.

Especially those who had just gained extraordinary abilities and were still a little carried away with themselves, after witnessing such terrifying power.

They couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, immediately putting away the slightest arrogance they had felt after gaining extraordinary abilities.
