Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Am I seeing things?” Chenlongs eyes widened.
“You didn’t see wrongly. Those pillars have all risen. This is the first time I’ve seen that someone could actually make all 360 pillars rise…” Qin Zhe said faintly.
“This is a good thing. It means that we are about to have another Branch Master,” Weiyang said with a smile.
After everyone recovered from their shock, joy appeared on their faces.
Yes, if he could raise all 240 pillars in the fourth level, there would basically be no problem with the special selection.
Now, all 360 pillars had been raised. In other words, Chen Qiyue was basically the candidate for the next Branch Master.
However, they did not know which totem Chen Qiyue would light up.
Among the twelve zodiacs, there were a total of four that had not been lit up.
These four were: Shenhou, Yinhu, Youji, and Xugou.
After Chen Qiyue walked out, he looked up and saw the eight Branch Masters of the Special Dragon Group.
Zishu, Chouniu, Maotu, Chenlong, Sishe, Wuma, Weiyang, and Haizhu wore special masks and stood in a row at the entrance.
If not for the fact that he knew that he had not caused any trouble, he would have thought that they were going to arrest him.
“Chen Qiyue, you are qualified for the special selection. Please come with us.” Zishu nodded at Chen Qiyue and said loudly.
In the past, he could call Chen Qiyue Xiao Chen, Xiao Qi or Xiao Yue. But now, he was about to become a Branch Master of the same level as others. It was better to call him by his name.
It would be more formal to call him by his name.
Chen Qiyue nodded and walked towards them quickly.
Although he was mentally prepared and would definitely be able to enter the special selection, he was still a little nervous at this stage.
The location of the special selection was actually not far from the fourth round.
However, it was not on the ground, but underground.
Chen Qiyue followed Zishu and the other Branch Masters into a small building. Then, they passed through the heavy doors and began to walk underground.
It was an especially long underground corridor. The corridor clearly had signs of renovation because the lights were all modern. The corridor was very bright and did not have any ancient charm.
However, after walking for more than half an hour, the corridor began to change.
A few hundred meters ahead, an extremely ancient corridor appeared.
It was like a fault in time and space. In front of him was limestone that had been used to pave bricks hundreds of years ago, but here, it was white tiles.
“The long corridor here has a mysterious power, so after renovating it here, we couldn’t take another step forward.”
Haizhu, who was walking at the back, seemed to have seen Chen Qiyue’s confusion and explained.
Chen Qiyue nodded. Only the existence of such a special power could allow the Special Dragon Group to last until now, right?
Chen Qiyue continued to follow them.
Although this place could not be renovated, some lamps could still be brought
in.
Some lamps could be directly stuck into the gaps on the four sides above, below, and left. They only needed to be connected to the repaired wall.
Therefore, although it looked abrupt, the light was still very bright and there was no terrifying atmosphere.
In fact, there were different murals on both sides of the long corridor.
From the top, it was the Twelve Zodiacs. No, it should be said that it was a story about the Twelve Zodiacs.
Chen Qiyue was a little puzzled. Were the Twelve Zodiacs really an organization created for the sake of the world?
“l have a question. Have all twelve of them been activated?” Chen Qiyue suddenly asked.
Haizhu walked at the back and was the closest to Chen Qiyue, He subconsciously replied, “No. In the beginning, it seemed that Chenlong and Zishu were opened. Later on, there were slowly more branches.”
Chen Qiyue nodded thoughtfully.
What if the branches of the Twelve Zodiacs was only the branches of the ruins?
But if that was the case, what about the Poker Association? Their rings were very similar to the Twelve Zodiac branches of the Special Dragon Group. Could it be related to this ruin?
“But the Poker Association also has the rings we have. Why is that?” Chen Qiyue didn’t hide anything and asked directly.
“Oh, theirs are replicas. They took the rings from another ruin.” Haizhu exposed this matter bluntly.
“To put it bluntly, the Poker Association should be under our Special Dragon Group. However, their power was greater at the beginning. When they were established, they separated. Therefore, after they grew stronger later on, they started to go against us.”
“Oh, no, it should be said that a group of people are going against us.” Haizhu’s words made Chen Qiyue fall silent.
There were good and bad people in an organization, but there were also people who could not tell if they were good or bad.
However, when such people treated humans terribly, Chen Qiyue thought that they were bad people.
At the same time, when a group of people were only fiddling with instruments and doing experiments in the laboratory, some people did hurt some Fantastic Beasts, but others did not. They only helped with some experiments.
However, such people had made outstanding contributions to the development of mankind.
So were they good or bad?
Chen Qiyue had been confused for a long time, but he was more certain about this answer now.
He wanted to prevent things that exceeded the bottom line from happening.
As long as he restrained the good people, these things would not happen.
Those who deserved to die and those who deserved to go to jail needed to be punished. He would let the law punish them.
In the future, he hoped to prevent such a thing from happening again. At the very least, it would prevent such a thing from happening in the Poker Association.
From the looks of it, joining the Poker Association was not a complete disadvantage.
However, those damned people from the Poker Association still deserved to die, so the danger was definitely much greater than what they had said previously.
Chen Qiyue only hoped that the Special Dragon Group would not attack until he became the Small Joker. At that time, it would be difficult for him.
In Chen Qiyue’s opinion, even if he took down the Poker Association and wanted to reorganize it, even if he became the Big Joker, those people would still rebel if he wanted to touch their interests.
Just because he became a Big Joker did not mean that he could complete the reform.
Therefore, the reforms that Qin Zhe mentioned would definitely require attacks. Then, he would clear some people and reorganize it.
As for when, Chen Qiyue sighed. He hoped it would be as soon as possible.
As they walked, the group finally arrived at their destination.
At the end of the long corridor, there was a huge door standing there. There were 12 round holes in front of the door.
Zishu, who was walking at the front, took a step forward and extended his hand.
On his finger was a ring that symbolized his identity. It was Branch Master Zishu’s ring.
Zishu took off the ring and placed it in a round hole at the top.
Chouniu and the others also took off the rings in their hands and placed them in the order of the twelve zodiacs.
Then, a scene that shocked Chen Qiyue appeared..
