With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

The three returned to the capital, and Li Mancang was filled with doubts.

He really wanted to know what Director Jiang intended to do with these things, but seeing that she had no intention of telling them from beginning to end, he could only suppress his doubts.

As they walked, Wang Zhaixing patted Li Mancang on the shoulder.

"Don't dwell on it anymore; this matter is considered closed. We shouldn't pry into things that aren't our business. Some secrets are not meant for us to know; you'll understand as you spend more time in this situation."

Li Mancang remained silent for a while.

Wang Zhaixing continued.

"You're lucky you met Director Jiang; it's a blessing from your ancestors. Don't you know how difficult it is for an ordinary person to get into our bureau? Your master is a prime example."

Upon hearing this, Li Mancang suddenly understood.

Yes, he was originally in jail, but now he's in the Second Administration Bureau. Isn't that a place he never dared to dream of before?

He smiled at Wang Zhaixing.

"Director Wang, thank you. You've taught me so much, which has made me who I am today."

"Alright, that's just your fate, kid."

……

After returning to the compound, Jiang Zhiyu first went to the kindergarten to see her two little ones.

She didn't go in; instead, she stood outside the kindergarten and used her mental powers to sense the children's situation inside.

In the courtyard, Song Zhiyao was playing house with several little girls. She was playing the role of "mother" and directing the other children to "cook" and "wash clothes" in a very professional manner.

Song Zhizheng and a few other boys squatted by the sandpit, seemingly studying something. Occasionally, he would look up and say a few words, to which the other boys would nod in agreement.

The two children get along well with the other children around them. They are not arrogant because of their special abilities, nor are they inferior or timid because of their specialness. That's enough.

Only then did she feel relieved and go back.

She needs to hurry and see what will happen once she collects all these bronze artifacts.

Seventeen had already flown back and forth in the space more than ten times, the energy stone in the middle flashing so brightly it was impossible for her to ignore it. It was so excited, it was practically shouting into her ear through a megaphone.

After Jiang Zhiyu moved into the compound, only Zhao Lanjun, who was in a wheelchair, and Sister Yang remained at home.

When Zhao Lanjun saw her return, she immediately pushed the wheelchair over.

"Zhiyu's back? Are you hungry? I'll have Aunt Yang make you a bowl of noodles."

"Grandma, I'm not hungry, I'm just a little tired. I want to go upstairs and rest."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Watching Jiang Zhiyu disappear around the corner of the stairs, Zhao Lanjun said to Sister Yang.

"When those two mischievous monkeys come back in a bit, don't tell them Zhiyu is back yet, lest Zhiyu can't sleep well."

"Okay, I got it."

After arriving at the room, Jiang Zhiyu locked the door from the inside and went directly into the space.

Seventeen had already laid out all the bronze artifacts on a table. Seeing Jiang Zhiyu arrive, it flew over to her in a flash and then circled the bronze artifacts once.

"Host, host, look at these bronze artifacts, aren't there entanglements of energy between them? I can't wait to find out just how powerful their combined energy is! I'm now the number one ruler in the realm, and I've already leveled up three times in total!"

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at the bronze artifacts, then at the impatient Seventeen.

"Don't rush, don't blindly absorb it. Have you forgotten that last time you absorbed energy, the space transferred two-thirds of it to me? If I'm not properly prepared this time, what if I faint again due to the sheer volume of energy this time?"

Seventeen's wings flashed, and it instantly hovered in front of Jiang Zhiyu.

"Oh right, host! This space thing doesn't play by the rules, we need to be prepared. I wonder how much of the energy I've fused will be given to you this time. But with so much energy this time, even if it gives you some, I should still have a lot to absorb. I'm really looking forward to seeing which direction my upgrade will take!"

Sure enough, after they were positioned correctly, their energies intertwined, forming an energy circle that seemed to be converging.

After much consideration, Jiang Zhiyu wrote a letter and placed it on her dressing table. In case the energy was too great this time, and she was unconscious for several days again, or if any unexpected events occurred, she wanted to inform her family in advance so as not to worry them.

After leaving the letter, Jiang Zhiyu took a cup of spiritual spring water from the center of the spring, drank it all, and then sat down cross-legged.

"Seventeen, you can begin."

Seventeen landed in the middle of the circle of bronze artifacts, its metal wings slightly open, and its energy instantly enveloped the bronze artifacts.

These bronze artifacts simultaneously emitted a low, humming sound.

Gradually, the rust on the bronze artifacts began to peel off, and a faint light shone through the gaps in the rust.

Gradually, the light grew brighter and brighter, and the bronze artifact seemed to crack, with cracks filled with this light.

Then these cracks grew larger and denser, forming a dazzling halo that was too bright to look directly at.

Jiang Zhiyu closed her eyes. She knew that Seventeen was refining this energy. She didn't know if the space would steal some energy from her later, but it was better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

Slowly, the bronze began to turn into powder.

Above the powder were clusters of spheres of light, their energy extremely pure.

The entire space seemed to be shaken.

Jiang Zhiyu felt it, and so did Seventeen; the orbs of light were swirling around Seventeen. The light emanating from Seventeen was even more dazzling; Jiang Zhiyu could only sense numerous energy clusters. She dared not open her eyes; it was simply too blinding.

After purifying all the energy this time, Seventeen didn't rush to absorb it, as if she was waiting for something.

Sure enough, in less than three seconds, the energy was split in two by space, and one half was thrown towards Jiang Zhiyu without warning.

Seventeen sensed that the other half of the energy had indeed been fed to the host by the space, and only then did he feel at ease injecting the remaining half of the energy into his central energy core.

Instantly, golden light shot straight into the sky.

Jiang Zhiyu was so struck by this energy that she bled from all seven orifices; even with her current physique, she couldn't withstand it.

The pain instantly spread throughout her body, and she was truly gritting her teeth and enduring it.

Despite having drunk the spiritual spring water beforehand, the pain seemed to be a tugging at the depths of the soul, not just physical pain.

She felt her mental energy was about to explode, but she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

She compressed her mental power and spatial abilities to the extreme and began to merge with this energy, little by little, eventually relying entirely on instinct to sustain herself.

She didn't know how much time had passed, so long that she thought she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, when a refreshing coolness instantly swept over her body, followed by a warm feeling.

We finally succeeded.

With that sigh of relief, Jiang Zhiyu fainted.
