“Treasure distribution!”
Lu Yu sent people to the Celestial Organization, the U.S. military, and other places.
There wasn’t much explanation.
Each organization was given only an envelope, inside which was written — “Treasure Distribution!”
No need for too much explanation.
People from various factions immediately sent representatives to come.
The four warriors of the dragon clan had been waiting at the harbor all along.
When Lu Yu went out to deliver the message, the four soldiers were the first to receive it.
The people who came were all those who had entered that space on the same day.
After everyone met with the elder, they all felt a great sense of relief.
The old man still had some credibility and did not run off with the treasure.
These organizations had even secretly made contact with each other and decided that if the old man did not appear for a long time, they would prepare to issue a joint wanted notice.
After the elders saw that everyone from the various organizations had arrived, one of them spoke: “We need a quiet place for the distribution. Would Lu Yu’s core territory be available for this?”
The old man smiled.
People from all organizations turned their eyes toward Lu Yu in unison, their hearts surging with excitement.
Since the end of the world began, the most mysterious thing in this world has been the core domain possessed by Lu Yu.
After being surrounded here, no outsiders have come in ever since.
No one knows what’s inside, what secrets it hides, or what mysteries it holds.
Lu Yu nodded and said, “You may enter, but please don’t wander around. Some things in the core area are confidential and must not be disclosed.”
The old man smiled and said, “Don’t worry. This time we just need a quiet place, preferably a secluded one. I believe you must have something like that here.”
There were ten people in total, and Lu Yu granted all ten of them the right to enter.
After ten people entered, the perceptions honed through battle couldn’t help but give them the strongest warning possible.
Even the old man couldn’t help but release an intense murderous intent in an instant.
Ten people were shocked in their hearts.
They couldn’t see anything in the surrounding void. Yet their intuition was warning them that the most terrifying trap in this world had been laid within this core domain.
Now, as soon as Lu Yu activates his will, no one can escape.
Nothingness seemed to be filled with dangers capable of destroying everything they had.
Lu Yu didn’t say much, signaling everyone not to move for now.
He entered first to retrieve the treasure pearl, and only then did he proceed with the others into the tavern.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise once again.
Everyone knew that Lu Yu’s most elite force of over six hundred loyal warriors had always been stationed at Fanggang.
However, when they entered, they did not feel much spiritual energy.
In this tavern, there is only one presence on the top floor, and it is not particularly strong.
Everyone knew that it was the person Lu Yu had taken away at the demon-hunting plains trading fair.
That person memorized the formula for the elixir of evolution. From then on, his entire life would be tied to this place, spending his whole life helping Lu Yu produce the elixir.
Moreover, there were no other presences within this tavern.
No, not a single person!
Where have Lu Yu’s loyal followers gone?
So this is the secret of Fanggang City?
Lu Yu led everyone into his room and then activated the Starry Sky Domain provided by the Celestial Deity Organization.
Except for the person from the Celestial Organization, the others’ hearts started to beat again.
As they stepped into the starry sky, everyone’s hearts trembled with awe.
Since Lu Yu already has such a space, he must certainly possess a second one as well.
Could it be that those people have always been in the core areas, just cultivating in another space all along?
The number of people cultivating has exceeded six hundred, and the required props and materials amount to an astronomical price.
Every major organization requires significant financial and human resources to cultivate and sustain.
Moreover, Fanggang was almost entirely built by Lu Yu with his own hands.
What they saw upon entering here was merely the smallest part of the city’s core secrets.
I’m afraid they haven’t even come close to uncovering the most fundamental secrets.
Everything here is merely what Lu Yu is willing to show them.
After everyone entered the starry sky, the starry sky closed.
This place became an enclosed space.
“That’s right, that’s right,” the old man said with a smile, looking around. “This place is secluded enough. No one else knows what’s happening here but us!”
The American exclaimed excitedly, “Old man, don’t hide the item anymore! Hurry up and take it out—I can’t wait any longer!”
“Yeah, old man, don’t wait any longer,” the British representative said, vigorously rubbing his hands together.
The old man wasn’t in a hurry and smiled broadly as he said, “Don’t rush, don’t rush. Last time there wasn’t enough time, so we couldn’t make a proper distribution. Today, everyone has gathered here, and I think that my companion and I should take six parts, the Dragon Clan should take one part, and the rest of you can divide the remaining three parts. Do you all find this fair?”
The British representative looked around, frowned, and said, “Old man, we don’t even know what it is we’ve obtained. Excluding all of you here, there are still seven major powers. If we take only the remaining three parts, will it truly be worth the risk we’ve taken?”
“You can all rest assured that if you feel it’s not worth it by then, you’re more than welcome to voice your opinions.”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “That’s right. Before we’ve even seen the items, everything has already fallen into chaos; the distribution can’t continue like this.”
“Yeah.” Everyone nodded, willing to wait a moment before speaking.
The old man was very satisfied with the current atmosphere and extended his hand into the void.
Storage space!
Everyone was astonished.
Even now, with the inclusion of the extremely high rewards from the Monster Hunting Plains, there are still only about thirty to forty people who possess storage spaces.
It can be said to be a real treasure; many people are envious of it!
When the old man withdrew his hand, he was holding a copper box about two feet square.
The bronze box is engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the box.
You should know that this is something they fought desperately to reclaim.
Especially the hearts of the four dragon warriors and Lu Yu were lifted to their throats.
You should know how difficult the battle was back then—it was almost a fight for our lives!
Therefore, the group became even more eager to see what was inside.
The bronze box was opened.
Inside was a small copper figurine the length of a ruler, dressed in a set of delicate armor and lying within layers of fine silk cloth inside the box.
“What is this?”
Everyone was taken aback and said, “How can we divide this item among ourselves?”
The old man took out the small copper figurine and held it in his palm, saying, “I say it’s valuable, so it is. This little copper figurine is called the Death Puppet! Don’t give me those helpless looks—just wait until I tell you about its abilities. After that, if you’re not crying and begging疯狂地 in desperation, you’ll be doing well enough.”
The old man coughed and said, “Dead puppets can’t help you prosper or assist in crafting items. Their effect is merely replication.”
“Replication is not what you think—it’s not about copying artifacts; it’s about replicating life! You place a drop of your blood onto a dead puppet, and twenty-four hours later, you will obtain a puppet whose abilities are exactly the same as the owner of that drop of blood. This puppet is initially born without consciousness or life. When you inject it with a drop of your blood, it gains your consciousness and obeys your commands.”
The starry sky was incredibly silent.
Here, everyone is either a spirit or an exceptionally intelligent person.
No one who has come this far is a fool.
The elder’s words were clearly not yet finished, and everyone present was already stunned.
They immediately understood the terrifying nature of this dead puppet.
The blood of an ordinary person naturally has no effect on a corpse puppet.
But what if it’s the blood of a king, or the blood of a royal ancestor?
The two most powerful and supreme forces in this world.
If a drop of royal blood were to fall into this dead puppet, wouldn’t it be possible to create a puppet infused with royal blood?
Most importantly, this King’s Blood Puppet is completely obedient to you.
A powerful warrior who is completely loyal to you.
If one drop of blood is not enough, then what about ten or a hundred drops?
A hundred King’s Blood puppets! Do you have any idea what that means?
Everyone turned their gaze toward Lu Yu.
For someone like Lu Yu, the value of a single drop of blood is truly priceless.
The old man continued, “I haven’t finished yet; you all shouldn’t be too surprised.”
“Ahh, ahh. Is it not over yet?”
Everyone perked up their ears, each one becoming even more excited.
Lu Yu patted his chest. Although the Blood of the Sky-splitting King was not there, he immediately realized that the bet requiring one hundred drops of the Sky-splitting King’s blood was an incredible bargain.
The old man smiled and said, “The abilities possessed by the puppet can no longer be copied or transferred; they can only be used by the puppet itself. Therefore, none of you should harbor any thoughts of taking control of the puppet. However, one special ability of the puppet is its capacity to grow stronger. This growth doesn’t occur independently, but rather develops alongside its original master. For example, if the Blood King’s blood dripped into a Death Puppet, it would immediately create another Death Puppet possessing all the Blood King’s abilities. From that moment onward, any new skill acquired by the Blood King will simultaneously be gained by the Death Puppet. Similarly, any increase in the Blood King’s power will be mirrored by the Death Puppet. If the Blood King regains his former royal strength, the Death Puppet can do the same. In other words, the Death Puppet’s power will always equal that of the Blood King. However, should the Blood King die in the process, the Death Puppet’s power will remain permanently fixed at that level—no further increases or decreases will occur; it will simply stop evolving altogether.”
“This… this…” someone stammered, their eyes wide with astonishment.
“This damn puppet’s abilities are just too… too…” The British representative nearly lost it completely, standing on the spot and almost howling like a wild beast from sheer excitement.
That ability is just too crazy.
As long as they possess even a single drop of royal blood, it’s as if they have a king under their control!
“Good God, does the divine really exist? Do such artifacts truly exist as well?” The American made the sign of the cross, his entire body trembling with excitement.
The old man looked at the crowd, clearly satisfied with the effect of his words, and smiled. “Of course, that’s just one of the dead puppet’s abilities. It has two in total—the other ability is resurrection.”
Lu Yu’s heart was shaken, yet he remained calm on the surface, though his palms had already begun to sweat.
As for the others, those who were about to panic or not, those who were praying or not, all suddenly stopped and focused intently, almost wishing they could double the size of their ears to ensure they wouldn’t miss a single word.
“If you drip your own blood, the resulting dead puppet will definitely be you. If you then drip another drop of your own blood, you can create a puppet replica of yourself. Once you die, no matter where you are, you will instantly switch places with your puppet replica. The one who dies will be your puppet, while you escape unharmed and can recover to your ultimate peak of strength.”
Someone swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, “This, this is like having an extra life.”
“How many puppet clones can a single person create?”
