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

26: He can’t do anything.The only material with a higher energy level than himself was the golden material.

Currently, the only confirmed golden material was the Godshard Fragment obtained from the Critical Point.

These fragments were clearly acquired through Critical Points, leading to the inference that each Critical Point might contain a Godshard Fragment.

Further calculation suggests that even if the officials hadn’t cleared too many Critical Points over the past decade, they had at least dealt with over a hundred.

This meant that the officials had at least one hundred Godshard Fragments.

Although it was unclear how the officials used these fragments, it was certain that the power they concealed far exceeded imagination.

Thinking of this, Su Yi couldn’t help but shake his head.

If it were before, he might have chosen to keep a low profile.

But the situation was different now, because—

Current Prestige: 169!

(Prestige over 10,000 unlocks advanced lottery)

The system had a new function, which seemed to have appeared only after he became the Scarlet Lord.

When his prestige reached 100, this function was already activated, but he hadn’t noticed it at first.

It wasn’t until he noticed the small line of text that he became excited.

The previous ordinary lottery could only yield purple materials at most, and purple materials were already powerful enough.

But after this incident, Su Yi had accumulated enough energy points for three thousand consecutive draws, and his energy points were still increasing rapidly.

It was estimated that he could even gather enough for a ten-thousand consecutive draw before dark.

With a sufficiently large base, even if the system lowered the probability, as long as it wasn’t too excessive, it wouldn’t be a problem to get around eighty purple materials, not to mention a hundred.

However, no matter how many there were, their effect gradually diminished.

Just like at first, purple materials were his lifesaver when he was on the verge of death; later, they made his weak body strong; but now, they were more like ordinary tonics, their effect no longer so significant.

Therefore, to further enhance his strength, he had to start from quality.

As for quality, he only knew of one golden material for now: the Godshard Fragment!

Su Yi knew in his heart that he knew nothing about the Godshard Fragment.

But to be honest, if he could avoid it, he didn’t want to come into contact with this thing.

Leaving aside whether it was reasonable for such a powerful thing to appear on Blue Star, just the fact that a Critical Point contained such an existence made it feel bizarre.

Were they here to invade, or to provide aid?

Were they not afraid that using too much would cause Blue Star to give birth to a true ”God”?

From any angle, this matter exuded a strange aura.

Su Yi already had his own system, so regarding this so-called Godshard Fragment, he would avoid touching it if possible.

Even if he accidentally obtained it, he would only fuse it and use it as an auxiliary.

Thinking this, Su Yi’s consciousness withdrew from his mental space, leaving everything to his clone to handle.

After the clone took over the body, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his gaze swept over the shocked crowd in the mall.

Then, he gently stood up, leaped down from the Bone Throne, and with a flash, appeared before the crowd amidst their astonished gazes.

The Scarlet Lord stood in the center of the mall, his scarlet robe billowing without wind.

The surrounding crowd trembled with instinctive fear, not even daring to look directly at him, let alone move.

Just then, seven figures quickly appeared, knelt on one knee, and said in unison:

”The Seven Elemental Mages of the Calamity Court greet Lord Scarlet Lord!”

Seeing this scene, many of the onlookers who had not joined the Calamity Court felt a deep fear.

As for those who had already joined the organization, they couldn’t conceal their excitement—they had just witnessed the Scarlet Lord’s power, and now they were told that this powerful being was their superior!

Who wouldn’t be excited?

When the Scarlet Lord saw the Seven Elemental Mages, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Then, he raised his head, his gaze piercing through the mall’s glass window, looking towards the Azure Dragon inside.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he spoke:

”Am I to invite you out, or will you leave on your own accord?”

”Azure Dragon of the Star Constellation Society.”

The Azure Dragon, who was called out, shook his head gently upon hearing this.

”Not yet, after so many things have happened.”

”Our newly recruited members are not in ideal condition; they need to rest and adjust, don’t they?”

”Besides, this is their home after all; shouldn’t they be given some time to mourn?”

After hearing this, the Scarlet Lord did not respond immediately.

But the members who had just joined the Star Constellation Society all widened their eyes, looking at the Azure Dragon in disbelief.

They screamed in their hearts: No? Bro?

Big brother, you could ask for our opinion; we actually don’t mind at all.

After all, it wasn’t that they didn’t trust Lord Azure Dragon; it was just that the opponent’s appearance was too shocking—from his aura to his strength, he looked terrifyingly strong.

At this moment, the Scarlet Lord suddenly chuckled softly:

”Azure Dragon, I just announced that this place belongs to me.”

”Are you really going to walk out of here unscathed, openly defying me like this?”

The Azure Dragon did not answer, but instead took a step forward, instantly appearing outdoors.

A mysterious green energy emanated from him.

In an instant, everyone who had previously felt a strong sense of oppression now felt their bodies lighten, even feeling refreshed, as if all their pain and fatigue had been swept away.

”Scarlet.”

The Azure Dragon raised his head and looked directly at the Scarlet Lord, ”You’ve just awakened; how much of your power has recovered?”

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Lord’s aura suddenly surged several times, and the ground trembled slightly in response.

However, the Azure Dragon did not flinch, also releasing a powerful aura that not only contended with it but also protected the people around him.

The protected crowd was extremely nervous at this moment, fearing that the two would directly engage in combat.

After all, with the strength of the two, once they fought, whether these ordinary people could survive was an unknown.

So, everyone could only silently pray in their hearts: Please don’t fight!

The development of events was indeed as everyone wished; no conflict ultimately occurred.

The Scarlet Lord reined in his aura, turned his gaze to the Azure Dragon, and smiled slightly:

”Alright! Since you want to stay, then stay.”

The Scarlet Lord paused, a hint of playfulness in his tone, ”However, how long can this clone of yours last?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the Seven Elemental Mages standing by, then turned and walked towards the spatial rift.

As his footsteps drew closer, the buildings near the spatial rift began to spontaneously disintegrate, reassembling into a magnificent and eerie scarlet palace, exuding a suffocating aura.

Those who had been transformed into half-human, half-monsters looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

After all, the Scarlet Lord had not explicitly ordered them to leave, and they didn’t know whether to go or stay.

”What are you standing there for? Hurry and follow!”

A clear, cold voice came, waking everyone from their hesitation.

These people quickly came to their senses, followed closely behind, and quickly disappeared from sight.

After the Calamity Court departed, the Azure Dragon briefly gazed at the void, and his figure immediately transformed into a wisp of smoke, vanishing without a trace.

At the same time.

The other Twelve Zodiacs members also arrived at the scene, but they did not linger, merely showing their faces before quickly dispersing.

And in a hidden corner not far away, Blood Skyhawk quietly observed all of this.

The Scarlet Lord’s previous words—sleeping for a thousand years?—surfaced in his mind.

The Calamity Court... the Star Constellation Society...

Could it be true, as the Scarlet Lord said, that he had been dormant for hundreds or even thousands of years?

But as far as Blood Skyhawk knew, superhumans had only appeared for a mere ten years, and there had never been any related signs before that.

But if not, how else to explain the sudden emergence of two such powerful organizations?

After a moment of thought, Blood Skyhawk shook his head, casting these questions aside.

In any case, these had nothing to do with his goal.

His only purpose was to join the Calamity Court, gain more powerful strength, and end the humiliating life of hiding for the past three years.

”If it’s true, wouldn’t that be even better?”

Blood Skyhawk muttered softly to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

”This means that the Calamity Court is not only powerful but also has a long history.”

Thinking of this, he picked up Zhou Zhen, who was covered in blood and already unconscious, and transformed into a blurry blood-shadow, chasing in the direction the Calamity Court had departed.

Soon after Blood Skyhawk left, another figure quietly appeared where he had just been.

This person was none other than the Director of the Lingyi Investigation Bureau.

The Director looked around, his brow slightly furrowed.

The strange fluctuations he had just sensed left him puzzled.

”Strange...”

The Director muttered softly, seeming to have noticed something unusual, but for a moment, he couldn’t make sense of it.

He had clearly sensed Zhou Zhen’s aura just now, so why had it disappeared in an instant?

Something’s not right; why would Zhou Zhen suddenly appear here?

Didn’t he say he had already returned?

Could it be... that the abnormal activity here attracted Zhou Zhen, leading him to specifically look for Yang Kaishan?

But that doesn’t make sense.

Zhou Zhen would never disobey orders; even if there was a truly urgent situation requiring a change in plans, he would definitely give advance notice.

So, either he encountered something extremely urgent and rushed here without time to notify anyone;

Or... he had already met with misfortune and was forcibly brought here by someone.

Regardless of the situation, Zhou Zhen’s condition was probably not optimistic.

Having just lost Yang Kaishan, and now possibly losing Zhou Zhen, this was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the already precarious Linyuan City.

The Director knew very well that with Linyuan City’s current situation, even with Yang Kaishan and Zhou Zhen, it might not make much difference to the overall situation.

But no matter what, having two more people was always better than having two fewer.

Thinking of this, the Director couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

In fact, what great impact could he himself have?

He was merely a Candlelight at the upper level; in today’s Linyuan City, he could do nothing at all.

After taking a deep breath, the Director looked up at the Calamity Court, which was gradually moving away, then turned his gaze towards the Star Constellation Society’s direction.

Without the slightest hesitation, he began to walk towards the Star Constellation Society.

After all, he had heard the conversation just now, and some matters needed to be acted upon quickly.
