At the rank of seven stars, any major moves are almost ceremonial requirements, easily guessed by others.
Attempting to leave your mark in the Subspace through a promotion ceremony often creates a great stir, impossible to conceal.
So Su Yu has no need to hide when holding a ceremony.
Saying it directly instead can intimidate others.
However, when people heard Su Yu was not advancing to eight stars but that his Mechanic profession was promoting to seven stars, they were even more shocked.
After all, multiple vocational abilities are truly rare, something they had never seen before.
They have seen eight-star Transcendents, considering they have Xiao Shengyin as the president.
But a dual seven-star profession powerhouse, they had truly never encountered.
At the last gathering, Su Yu claimed his Mechanic profession was close to seven stars, making everyone skeptical.
And now, just a week later, Su Yu’s Mechanic profession is about to hold a ceremony to promote to seven stars?
So Su Yu’s so-called "close to seven stars" was really that close? Just one ceremony away!
Moreover, holding a ceremony to promote to seven stars requires engaging in a great battle with other seven-star powerhouses? What kind of profession is this brutal!
It must be a profession extremely good at combat; otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a requirement!
Thinking back to the last time Su Yu held a promotion ceremony, battling the Evil God for a month, such outrageous ceremony requirements explain why Su Yu is intimidatingly strong.
And now, is Su Yu holding another ceremony...
Wait, when Su Yu first joined the Transcendent Union, could it be that he was looking for a target for the ceremony?
If there is no suitable target, would he consider them?
Tie Long suddenly felt uneasy.
His War City is less than a thousand kilometers from Su Yu’s Mechanical City.
This close proximity is very suitable for Su Yu to hold a ceremony!
Recalling the last time Su Yu held a ceremony and battled the Evil God for a month, turning the Ghost Tribe directly into a large lake.
Tie Long felt a shiver in his heart.
His War City, would it also turn into a War Lake...
After Su Yu obtained the Evil God Origin, his image changed dramatically, exuding an overwhelming aura.
This made everyone uncontrollably speculate, fearing Su Yu might use them for his ceremony.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Su Yu waited for a while, feeling a bit helpless, had to coldly speak again: "City Lord Xie."
"Mr. Su Yu, you speak..."
Xie Yitian was startled.
He almost thought Su Yu was declaring a war on his Illusion City for a ceremony.
But he quickly recalled that Su Yu recently saved Illusion City, making it unlikely that Su Yu would target Illusion City, or else saving Xie Yitian would be redundant?
Su Yu looked at Xie Yitian: "The Data Life ’Illusion’ of Illusion City has been corrupted. I suspect it’s not the Evil God personally, but another seven-star powerhouse plotting in secret."
"That powerhouse intends to target Illusion City, with the ultimate goal of wiping out the entire city! Likely planning to use the entire city’s population and City Lord Xie as sacrifices for their promotion ceremony.
"If this is true, the secretly plotting powerhouse is insidious and formidable, a worthy adversary."
"Do you have any clues about this matter? Have you offended any powerhouses?"
Su Yu directly exposed that the corruption of ’Illusion’ was the work of a hidden mastermind.
He wanted to ask Xie Yitian if he had any enemies, so Su Yu could help him solve it and tackle his ceremony at the same time.
"Huh? Not the Evil God, but someone scheming in secret?!"
"How could it be, I haven’t offended anyone! Besides the Transcendent Union, I’ve barely seen any other seven-star powerhouses..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yitian looked utterly surprised, seemingly having no clue at all.
Hearing this, Su Yu scanned the faces of everyone, trying to discern any signs from their expressions.
He suspected that a member of the Transcendent Union might be the hidden mastermind.
After all, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
"What? Not the Evil God’s doing, but someone scheming? I haven’t offended any seven-star powerhouses..."
"Someone intends to use the Illusion City’s millions as sacrifices, such a ruthless intent!"
"Is it possible that person is trying to ascend to eight stars?"
Everyone else was also taken aback, engaging in a flurry of discussions.
Previously, Xie Yitian had intended to inquire Su Yu about the Evil God’s corruption. Others had similar thoughts.
They were all worried that their own cities might also suffer from the Evil God’s corruption.
But now, with Su Yu revealing that it’s not the Evil God’s doing but a man’s hand?
To some extent, such a truth is even more unsettling.
Everyone looked at each other vigilantly.
Evidently, they too had thought of one possibility—the hidden mastermind might be among them!
If someone harbors malice, wanting to use seven-star members and a large number of humans as sacrifices.
It would undoubtedly be more convenient to target familiar members of the Transcendent Union!
Xie Yitian couldn’t help but think back to when he had invited other members to visit Illusion City as guests.
Could it be that the corruption was planted at that time...
Su Yu meticulously observed their expressions but found no flaws, indicating that this slight probing revealed nothing substantial.
So he spoke again: "The one who chose to corrupt in secret likely doesn’t possess strong direct combat capabilities or is unwilling to reveal their identity."
"Everyone should thoroughly inspect their cities, searching for potential threats of corruption."
"From the experience of Illusion City, such corruption seems to require considerable time to develop and grow. As long as it’s discovered early, it can be removed."
