Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The core of the Crimson Lotus King began to pulsate, and scorching energy surged within its body.

Just as it was preparing to launch a surprise attack based on the spirit of Anran, one of the statues suddenly swayed.

"Don't rush to make a move."

A voice echoed in the mind of the Crimson Lotus King.

She saw the statue's right eye suddenly "open," and then a creature resembling a lizard man emerged from the hole in the right eye.

It's something like a mecha?

The King of Crimson Lotus's eyelids twitched slightly.

"Who are you?" it asked.

The lizardman laughed heartily, "I'm just like you, a member of the Forerunner's grand plan!"

The Crimson Lotus King nodded.

It's not the talkative type.

But the lizard on the other side was different.

It opened its arms and clapped its hands vigorously.

"Brother, welcome to the Chain of Judgment!"

It was laughing very happily.

This uplifting spirit infected the King of Crimson Lotus, who also laughed along with it.

Next, the Lizardmen invited the Crimson King to the Council Hall.

On the way, it explained the current situation.

"I saw the information about you, brother, in the Holy City's library. It contains information on not only you, but also on every member. However, the information is not detailed. It only roughly records each member's abilities and appearance, as well as some key points, but it doesn't mention each member's mission."

"The Crimson King, number FOR-013, quite a high number. It seems you are a crucial part of this plan."

"You mean me? I'm the imposter, FOR-029. I arrived here two months before you."

“There are quite a few of our members here now.”

"Currently, the strongest is FOR-003, which has already been promoted to the Star Domain Ruler and is also the nominal leader of the Chain of Judgment."

"We, the Chain of Judgment, are an organization established to judge humanity's crimes against the Forerunners, and the Holy City Ruins are just one of our many strongholds."

"In fact, besides the backup plans left by our predecessors, we also have partners among humans."

If the Crimson King was merely interested before, now it is astonished.

"Humans?"

Do humans want to destroy the world they live in?

The imposter shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Although they shout slogans, I think they just want to use us and hope to gain more benefits."

That makes perfect sense.

With so many like-minded people around, the Crimson Lotus King suddenly felt that the possibility of realizing his great plan had increased considerably.

"To be honest, I thought you were dead," the imposter said with emotion.

"Ok?"

Seeing the King of Crimson Lotus's confusion, the imposter explained, "We have many eyes and ears outside, and we've heard about what happened in the Silent Land. But then we heard that a certain star path of the Eternal Star Path collapsed, and we knew that it was just a smokescreen."

"I see." The Crimson Lotus King suddenly realized. "It's quite a dramatic story. If I hadn't met an accomplice, I probably would have been gone long ago."

"what?"

The imposter was shocked.

FOR-013.

It ranks 16 places ahead of it.

Undoubtedly, the departed pioneers placed high hopes on the King of Crimson Lotus.

To ensure the successful birth of the Crimson Lotus King, they must have made ample preparations.

Even so, the Crimson King still said that it would perish without the help of others.

Could it be that this was also a contingency plan left behind by the pioneers?

"You might not believe it, but at first I didn't believe it myself. But after a while I completely believed it. It was such an unbelievable fact. I almost didn't believe it, but I couldn't help but believe it..."

The imposter's face darkened.

As a lizardman, its face had truly turned black.

"Can you please stop talking so roundaboutly?"

"I'm so sorry," the Crimson Lotus King apologized repeatedly. "After spending so much time by that person's side, I've become a little influenced by her."

"That sir?" the imposter asked, intrigued.

"That's right, that sir."

"Who is it, sir?"

"That person is indeed that person."

Old Li, who's lying on the grass.

The imposter's face turned red with anger.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're ranked ahead of me!

True power is earned through force.

"I'm so sorry, I was influenced by that lord again. I almost implied that if you want to know the information, you have to pay first," the Crimson Lotus King quickly explained.

(Peace in the distance.)

"Achoo... Who the hell is jealous of me behind my back now?"

An Ran angrily cursed.

The imposter's eyes rolled back, making him look rather dangerous.

They had already reached the vicinity of the Parliament before it took effect.

It was a massive man-made structure resembling a spiral mountain, no smaller than some asteroids.

Countless small flying objects floated near the Parliament building.

At this moment, the unfamiliar voice rang in the ears of the Crimson Lotus King once again.

"Welcome, Crimson King. I am the Fork in the Road, ranked FOR-003."

As Qilu, the ruler of the star field, gave the order, many strange creatures flew out of the council hall.

Only a very few creatures are stronger than the Crimson Lotus King; most are only at the level of a newly initiated Star Slayer.

Based on Anran's usual grading method, the King of Crimson Lotus thinks it's probably between level 150 and 160.

The arrival of the Crimson King caused a sensation in the council hall.

These fervent participants in the grand scheme were excited about the increased power of the Chain of Judgment.

It's even more exaggerated than those fanatical religious figures.

The King of Crimson Lotus has strayed from the right path.

It truly lives up to its name as a "monster" named Crossroads.

The fork in the road, perched in the very center of the parliament hall, had seven heads and exuded an aura of fear.

She's far more evil than the panda she was before she became a panda girl.

Beneath the rough, black scales, the pair of eerie purple eyes that opened made the Crimson Lotus King tremble.

It felt like this guy was much stronger than Virginia, the human overlord it had observed from afar before.

With such powerful companions.

"In that case..."

The chances of realizing the grand plan are greatly increased!

"Go and merge with your evolved flames."

Qilu raised his head slightly, not bothering to continue his idle chatter with the King of Crimson Lotus.

The King of Crimson Lotus nodded respectfully.

In any case, Qilu is the current big boss of the "Chain of Judgment". In Anran's words, even if you secretly want to skin it alive and sell it, you have to show enough respect on the surface.

Qilu was generally satisfied with the performance of the Crimson King.

Its dissatisfaction stems from the fact that the Crimson Lotus King is somewhat strange.

He doesn't seem like a loyal planner.

But whether it's being controlled or brainwashed, that's not the issue.

Once the flames are fused and evolved, everything superfluous will be dispelled.

The Crimson Lotus King arrived somewhere on the lower level of the Council Hall.

There, it saw its own unique flame of evolution!

As a Protoss, its path to becoming a Starfield Ruler is entirely different from that of an ordinary creature.

The quickest way is to merge with the evolutionary flames born from the depths of the oldest stars, thus achieving a fundamental evolution.

When the Crimson King stepped into the hall where the crossroads once again, it had changed.

Although it has not yet become the ruler of the star field, it has truly begun to exude a kingly aura.

“Excellent. In that case, it won’t be long before our Chain of Judgment has another Star Domain Ruler.” Qilu was very pleased with this.

The other creatures standing nearby also smiled.

The King of Crimson Lotus suddenly said, "I have something very important to report."
