Chapter 406: Chapter 324: Light Red and Infinite Energy are a Better Match (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Fang You: Huh?

If he remembered correctly, indeed, the Ghastly Realm once had a very powerful Lost Empire that had even attempted to assassinate the Evil God.

The thoughts spun in his head, but Fang You’s expression remained unchanged, as if he was signaling ’please continue your speech.’

The Crown Prince clearly didn’t expect an answer from a Blue Star native.

"Haven’t heard of it? That’s correct. Even in our City of Fallen Stars, the records about that Lost Empire are but fragments."

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before continuing:

"It is said that, a long, long time ago, deep in the Ghastly Realm, there existed a greatly flourishing and powerful empire—Candela Empire. The words ’Candela’ in this Lost Empire also meant ’light.’ They considered themselves the children of light, and thus, we also call the Lost Candela Empire the ’Glorious Empire.’

"The Glorious Empire possessed tremendous strength, with skills and crafts that reached mythical levels, and they mastered highly advanced runic technology... You’ve been in contact with many Oases, but their ritual technology pales in comparison to that of our City of Fallen Stars, and our city, compared to the lost Glorious Ancient Realm, is not much better off either."

Perhaps feeling that a Blue Star native would not grasp the impact of his words enough, his description was insufficiently vivid or shocking.

The Crown Prince thought for a moment and added, "What we can be certain of is that there were many mythical beings in the Candela Empire. And according to speculations, at its peak, the territory of the Candela Empire might have been several or even dozens of times larger than a Great Domain."

Since the story had reached this point, Fang You followed the other’s words and asked:

"Why have I never heard of such a powerful empire then?"

"Because that empire... perished."

"Perished?"

Fang You showed a look of surprise, confusion, and puzzlement.

It was as though he had no direct understanding of the Glorious Empire and his astonishment was that of a newbie hearing about it for the first time.

The shock might not have been as strong as that of several mythical beings falling, since it was far too remote. The whole narrative was just a story whose truth and reliability were most likely still doubted by the Blue Star helmsman.

The Crown Prince wasn’t surprised by this reaction.

He himself was very certain that the legends were real. The more he explored the ruins, the more astonished he became at the might of the Candela Empire.

He sighed and said, "The exact reason is unclear. Our City of Fallen Stars only records that the Glorious Empire Candela encountered a major catastrophe, then quickly perished. The entire Glorious Empire was wiped out."

"As for what kind of catastrophe it was, we, along with many other powerful oases, have investigated and yet could not find the reason."

This was almost the same as saying nothing!

At the very least, Fang You knew that Candela perished due to a failed assassination of the Evil God.

However, why tell the story of Candela out of the blue? What was the Crown Prince’s purpose?

Fang You cooperated with expressions of surprise and sighs, choosing to remain silent and just quietly watch the Crown Prince’s performance.

And the Crown Prince indeed continued his performance.

"Back then, led by the Glorious Empire, the dominant forces of various domains formed the ’Human Race Alliance.’ The purpose was mutual help to resist the invasion from the Evil God’s camp."

"Later on, the Glorious Empire and several dominant forces perished, but the Human Race Alliance survived and gradually expanded. Now, Alliance members are spread out throughout all the major regions of the Ghastly Realm..."

The Human Race Alliance does not impose many restrictions on its member forces. The principle is mutual benefit. In times of need, alliances can call upon friends to stand together against the Evil God’s camp.

It could even be said that only by entering the ’Human Race Alliance’ could one truly step onto the main stage of the Ghastly Realm.

Well, the main stage of human Oasis forces.

At this point, the Crown Prince shifted his tone:

"However, ’Human Race Alliance’ is not open to just any force. Official member states must at least be ’Super Oases.’ Only Super Oases have the longevity to continue their legacy. Our City of Fallen Stars is one such official member—a unique official member in the whole Falling Star Pit Domain."

"Considering the strength and potential displayed by Blue Star, our City of Fallen Stars could act as your recommender for entering the ’Human Race Alliance’ as a candidate member nation."

"In the future, if Blue Star can advance to become a Super Oasis and get recommendations from three official member states, you would be granted official status in the Alliance and enjoy many more benefits."

"What do you think, sir?"

To be honest, this...

Didn’t appeal much.

At first glance, the Human Race Alliance seems very powerful, but upon closer reflection, since it’s a loose alliance, if a certain dominant power is attacked by the Evil God’s campaign in a way that degrades their position, why should other forces come to the rescue? Why risk so much to fight an invincible Evil God’s camp?

Moreover, there would inevitably be conflicts of interest between the different Super Oases; they couldn’t all be harmonious and loving toward each other.

All of this went unmentioned by the Crown Prince.

As for why they would recommend Blue Star? One could guess that City of Fallen Stars must benefit from this or, perhaps, they hope to develop Blue Star into an ally of their faction?

With insufficient information, Fang You could not draw a conclusion.

Pretending to consider it seriously for a while, Fang You finally asked, "Is the ’Night Haven’ a member of the ’Human Race Alliance’ as well?"

"Er..."

At this question, the Crown Prince stuttered, taking a few seconds before replying, "Night Haven is indeed a member of the Alliance, but Night Haven brought trouble upon themselves by provoking the Evil God’s camp, which wasn’t a normal situation. Normally, we..."

"I understand now."

Fang You nodded.

He neither showed longing nor explicitly refused, just played it neutrally.

Until he saw off the entourage from the City of Fallen Stars.

He turned to Citina and asked, "Had you ever heard of the ’Human Race Alliance’ before?"

Upon hearing the question, she pondered for a few seconds and slowly nodded.

"I seem to have heard a bit about it, but I rarely participated in the affairs of North Wind Island, so I’m not clear on the details."

"I see..."

The existence of the ’Human Race Alliance’ was probably not false; the City of Fallen Stars had no need to make up a lie that could easily be refuted, but obviously, it was not as beautiful as the Crown Prince said.

As for the claim of jointly resisting the Evil God’s camp? It might not be entirely false either.

Like before, North Wind Island was affected by the Great War of the Evil God’s camp. If North Wind Island had been an allied nation and could offer a sufficient price, perhaps it could have found a sliver of hope for survival amidst the effects of the Great War.

If it were indeed a loose alliance with no constraints, Fang You thought the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

It could be simply understood that allied nations would gain the contact methods of other forces, and subsequent cooperation, assistance, and calls for aid all depended on oneself.

Whether to join or not could be decided later.

In any case, he had already obtained information about the Human Race Alliance. If he could also freeload some contact methods from the dominator forces, that would be even better.

...

...

At his invitation, Madam Wan She and the delegation from the City of Fallen Stars settled down on Blue Star for a short stay.

From Madam Wan She, he hammered out a ’High-Grade Medicinal Material Cooperation Agreement’.

From the City of Fallen Stars, he then purchased a batch of Strange Implement tools.

Afterwards, Mentor Fang continued to lead a simple but fulfilling life.

Cultivating skills, slaying Mysterious Evil, inspecting the defense arrangements of the base city, illuminating the dawn, and...

Drawing cards!

Today’s Secret Realm was still drifting with clumps of white clouds and warm golden light cascaded down from the sky dome, comfortably warm.

Fang You started card drawing.

Since the Great War ended, he not only distributed many rewards to his own warriors but also rewarded himself quite a bit.

He had already drawn from the Super Card Pool 6 times, the Advanced Card Pool 20 times, and the Intermediate Card Pool 100 times.

Drawing from the Advanced and Intermediate Card Pools aimed to supplement the mid-to-low-tier Skill Books and acquire a batch of skill seeds.

It was restocking.

With this batch, obviously, the highest was just legendary gold, ordinary gold, with none of the Light Red he had hoped for.

"Adding the previous draws together, that makes 130 draws. If we include the other card pools, that’s at least 150 draws, 160 draws, and still no Light Red has appeared," he said.

On the panel, the description of the Super Card Pool read: A small chance of red.

How small is a small chance? It didn’t specify.

Was there any guaranteed drop after a certain number of draws? No, there wasn’t.

This type of card-drawing game was new to Fang You! Oh, was this some kind of cheat in reality? Then it’s no problem.

With a deep breath, Fang You continued to gently tap on the Super Card Pool.

「Ding!」

The sound of the fate points being deducted rang in his ears, and the next moment, the tranquil lake rippled and a streak of Light Red burst from the water’s surface, streaking across the sky.

"Did it actually produce Light Red?"

「Obtained: Secret Realm Stone (Gold)」

「Obtained: Skill Cultivation Card (Gold)」

「Obtained: Skill Book "Super Self-Healing" (Blue)」

「Obtained: Rift Stone (Blue)」

...

「Obtained: Infinite Box (Red)」!

——

「Infinite Box: A special object with infinite energy. Please explore its functionality on your own.」

This description was even more perfunctory.

However, from the gold tier onwards, many items with unclear functions began to appear, mostly materials. But even at this tier, even if it were just a material, it still possessed extraordinary might.

And this Infinite Box...

The object, resembling a Rubik’s Cube, was floating, diffusing halos of light.

Fang You lightly touched it and could vaguely sense that the box was like a black hole that absorbed energy and could release endless energy without any limit.

This was very unscientific.

But very occult.

"How should it be used, though?"

"The energy released by the Infinite Box is pure, similar to the energy of a Strange Crystal, and it doesn’t correspond with life energy," he mused.

He began to experiment, first attempting to use the Infinite Box as a high-end version of ’Angel’s Tear’ to enter an ’Infinite Mana Bar’ mode, going all out with his firepower.

He quickly realized this idea wasn’t practical.

Besides, even if he entered an ’Infinite Mana Bar’ mode, his combat power wouldn’t see a significant increase—not having infinite firepower, after all, skill usage required recovery time.

His current way of fighting favored a ’charging→ultimate move’ approach, and his stamina wasn’t as poor as it used to be.

Three seconds was not possible.

At least ten seconds!

"It could be used on the Strange Crystal Great Cannon for infinite power supply, but the Great Cannon also needs cooling times. Firing too frequently could cause the entire cannon to break down. Simply put, the other components couldn’t keep up."

"Wait a minute, that being said..."

"The Infinite Box would pair even better with the war machine Light Red."

During the battle a few days ago, Light Red alone consumed 50W Strange Crystals, which was too costly. It was time for Light Red to evolve.
