Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain

Chapter 405: The “Quota” Beyond Myth? !

"Distortion towards... the stars?" Yu Cang swallowed, "What do you mean?"

“That’s the literal meaning,” La said. “Once an individual possesses power beyond myth, that individual will be infected by an unknown source and become a star in the universe.”

"Become a star...then...wait." Yu Cang suddenly thought of something.

When he was in Feng Yue Cangjian, his body was on the verge of reaching its limit. The will of the Emperor Star had awakened in his body and manifested itself.

 In fact, he wanted to ask at that time, the Emperor Star should be a star, right? Then it should be a celestial body. How can a simple celestial body have consciousness?

Since there is a will, it should be a life... Then since the life of Emperor Star appears every time to fight against Huang, why does it have to go around in such a big circle and find a chosen one?

 He can warm up by himself and go straight into the game.

Oh yes, Emperor Star does want to play by himself, but only after he dies.

Yu Cang frowned slightly. He organized his words and expressed his doubts to La.

"This...actually I know very little about the Emperor Star, even the Roland Sky Realm, but I can tell you about other stars, and you can make your own judgment." La said, "First of all, since I said this is an 'infection', then Becoming a star is definitely not a good thing.

Yu Cang nodded: "That's right...it's a gray soul card."

"In the 'star' state, they can do almost nothing, but because of this, they have gained the ability to select the 'chosen one' - such a being is qualified to become the 'fate star' for other mortal beings."

 It makes sense logically, otherwise how can we explain that every Huang infection is generated out of thin air?

The empire has been preparing for famine for so many years, but this famine came out suddenly and suddenly. It would be hard to explain otherwise.

Now it seems that this situation is not limited to the Emperor Star, but also other stars.

So Yu Cang immediately asked: "Well... La, is there a star named 'Huang'?"

"But there are hidden dangers - after becoming a star, the power, personality, and spirit of a great being will turn into fuel and burn brightly, and shine in all directions through light. How great the personality of this being is, and the person chosen by it will almost Inevitably influenced by it, they become closer and closer.

 This sentence reminded him of his imperial heart.

Yu Cang thinks this guess is very reliable.

La saw Yu Cang's worry, and he shook his head: "You don't have to worry about this. There are many civilizations in the universe that can use destiny stars countless times more directly than you. This kind of cultivation method is already It's relatively safe. Moreover, star distortion only targets the powerful above the myth, and the creatures below will not be affected - at least they will not turn into stars.

Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

Then if that's the case...Emperor Star is most likely a strong man from countless eras ago?

 The battle between Emperor Star and Huang lasted for an unknown number of epochs. Since Emperor Star was transformed by a strong man, wouldn't it be true that Huang... was also transformed?

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... has there ever been a situation... where the stars directly resurrected in the body of the chosen one and took over the body of the chosen one?"

 Once in Feng Yue Cangjian, he had the experience of his personality being affected by the Emperor's Heart. Fortunately, he persisted in the end and did not choose to change his personality.

“For several years in the Giant Sun Tree, I was able to feel the erosion of the wilderness at close range. At this time, I finally understood where this sense of déjà vu came from.”

"You want to ask where Huang comes from, right?" La Yi smiled, "Then you've asked the right person... I'm afraid there won't be another person under the stars who can give you the answer to this question."

"This conjecture has almost been forgotten because there is no evidence, but if you say so... it is indeed possible. Those strong men who transcend myths will definitely not be willing to become lifeless celestial bodies. There is such a trick left for the final struggle. , and it’s normal.”

"Then...since that's the case." Yu Cang was a little worried, "Will there be any hidden dangers?"

"oh?"

La's expression became a little more serious, and he said seriously: "The power that infects the supreme power and the so-called desolation... actually come from the same source!"

Yu Cang nodded, silent and did not speak.

 Previously, he only thought that the power of this life star was quite useful, and the gray soul card would be an important piece of the puzzle to complete the soul card master's power system.

“However, such an influence happens all the time, even if you don’t use its power, so you can rest assured.”

 La looked at Yu Cang: "I see that in your soul card system, there is a soul card that can directly draw on the power of the life star, right?"

Before the Emperor Star appears, the Desolate Star will also appear, and then spread the infection everywhere... The Desolate God is equivalent to the chooser of the Desolate Star.

"What's more, I've seen your gray soul card... This system is too safe. Using the soul card as a medium to use power, the risk is very low."

Yu Cang was stunned: "Same origin?"

 He frowned.

“Are you sure that the one who revived is the Emperor Star itself?”

"I've never heard of this...Why do you ask?" La seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly changed, "Could it be that..."

“In other civilizations, there are similar cultivation systems—by communicating with the destiny stars, one can gain powerful power during his or her lifetime.”

Furthermore, the place in Feng Yue Cangjian has special rules. Unless there is a connection between the Emperor Star and herself, it will not appear there... What's more, Chao Ci has seen the Emperor Star before, which she has certified.

 In an era, there will only be one chosen one for the Emperor Star. So it stands to reason that the one who has the Emperor's Heart, other than yourself, will be the Emperor Star.

But I learned that those "fate stars" are likely to be infected... This kind of infection will not follow the gray soul card and also come to the blue star, right?

"This..." Lamo stroked his chin, thoughts flashed in his eyes, "This reminds me of a conjecture I made a long time ago... What if the destiny star completely affects the person he chooses, making him highly comparable to his former self in terms of personality and strength? Similar, then it is equivalent to the successful reincarnation of the former strong man...

"That's good..." Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

 “That should be it.”

"...Because I have reached that state before and then gave up, so I have personally come into contact with that kind of infection that only targets the supreme power." La suppressed his smile, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, "Later, , I have spent nearly ten thousand years studying the desert and doing various experiments on it, and a sense of déjà vu has always lingered in my mind.

"...Well, the Emperor Star once revived in my body." Yu Cang said, "But he said...it will wait until I die."

Yu Cang frowned: "That Huang..."

"Once all spirits transcend myths and become distorted into stars, they will become the same as all the celestial bodies in the starry sky. They can no longer move and think as freely as they once did, and can only let the huge energy in their bodies burn. , turning into light to illuminate a corner of the universe.

 However, La shook his head: "I know what you are thinking, but unfortunately, from ancient times to the present, and even in the records of the last era, there are no stars that represent desolation."

"That's right - they all come from the same power in essence. I speculate that Huang's infection has never disappeared and has existed since the beginning of the era. However, at first, Huang only targeted the powerful ones above the myth, and would It is deformed into stars and will not infect the weak, but once the number of such alien stars in the universe reaches a certain threshold... the infection will be leaked!"

Looking at Yu Cang's silent expression, La sighed: "This guess is almost the same. I believe that my perception and knowledge will never be wrong - Yu Cang, did you think of something?"

"...Hmm." Yu Cang's lips were a little dry, "It's like...some kind of mechanism of the universe itself..."

 If the individual is too strong or there are too many, it will be cleared by the universe!

 It's like nature's dynamic balance of species... except that the actions of the universe are more ruthless and thorough.

"That's right." La said, "Actually, it's very reasonable - if the beings above the myth were to unleash their power without any restrictions, it would be enough to cause irreversible damage to the entire universe. Speaking from the perspective of the universe itself, , should indeed be restricted. The same applies to civilization itself - after all, these great powers come from civilization."

Hearing what La said, Yu Cang felt a sense of powerlessness spreading in his heart.

 It turns out that the existence that I want to fight against...is actually the universe itself?

Then what else is there to do?

 No matter how powerful he is, he is just a mortal being born in the universe.

 Even if he gathered all the power available in the universe, he would still be unable to be on par with the universe itself, let alone defeat it.

Furthermore, even if he wins the battle and the universe is gone, where will he and Blue Star go?

For a moment, Yu Cang felt that what he was doing now was a bit meaningless.

"The Lord of this body!" Ye Lai suddenly said, "Don't forget your comrades."

Yu Cang was startled.

 Comrade-in-arms...so too.

 The opponent is the universe...that's it.

His purpose of fighting against Huang along the way has never been to protect the universe, but to protect the people around him and the civilization around him.

 Having made so many promises, how can it be so easy to feel that they are meaningless?

Yu Cang rubbed his head.

 If this is the truth...then there is nothing we can do about it.

At this time, La Ye said: "When I came to this conclusion, I was just as shocked and negative as you. However, Yu Cang, no matter what the truth is, the fact is - Huang is trying to kill us, even if we have to face it It’s the universe itself, and we can only resist.”

"I know." Yu Cang sighed, "This is probably just a guess...it may not be the truth."

 La nodded: "At the moment, I really only have logical inferences."

"Then don't worry about it for now." Yu Cang looked at La, "I have another question - do you remember Princess Xingchen? She once told me that her father was a strong man who transcended mythology... and he was alive. The good ones don’t exist in the form of stars, what’s going on?”

"Yu Cang, most of my memories of that empire have disappeared." La said slowly, "But I can tell you, if an emperor of the empire transcends mythology... then every emperor of the empire must be It’s beyond myth.”

Yu Cang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"It is almost irresistible to be infected by myths, but there are always exceptions - there are still a few strong people who surpass myths in the universe." La said, "It's just that they can stay awake not because of themselves. , but because of...a certain 'quota'."

 “Quota?”

"Yes, this phenomenon makes me feel that everything is secretly controlled by the universe itself - the empire's dominance spreads throughout the starry sky. Logically speaking, this is difficult to achieve for the almost infinite star realm. But the empire just does it Well, behind this, it is very likely that the universe itself is acquiescing - the universe needs such a civilization to manage the starry sky for it.

"In this case, the universe will also allow the ruler of the empire to enter a realm beyond myth in the form of an individual... However, such an existence cannot escape the final distortion. As far as I know, Huang's infection is great When the scale exploded, these existences disappeared one after another in a very short period of time, which is also a kind of evidence." Yu Cang was silent again.

Is this actually the case...

 La looked at Yu Cang and said nothing.

These memories are not available in Ra’s eyes.

Because there is little conclusive evidence for these speculations, although based on his experience, knowledge and intuition as a scholar, this is very likely to be the truth, but in any case, it is of little use in fighting the famine, and will only aggravate people's psychological burden.

 So, Ra did not stuff these memories into the Eye of Ra—he gave the Eye of Ra to Yu Cang, hoping to spread the hope of fighting against the famine instead of aggravating the fear.

This time, Yu Cang was silent for a long time.

After a while, he raised his head: "Then...what now? Is there any 'place' that can reach the realm beyond mythology?"

 He couldn't help but feel hopeful.

 After all, the future described by Ra is too scary.

 The upper limit of an individual's ability...is locked by the enemy!

The realm can only reach mythology, and it cannot be reached any higher!

What about the shortage? Even if the strength of Aragami does not surpass that of mythology, it must be at the pinnacle of mythology. Such an existence can be easily produced by Aragami... and can even be customized according to different civilizations.

If this shackles are not resolved, the gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves will become hopelessly disparate.

"I don't know about other 'quotas', but you must have them."

Yu Cang was stunned: "Me?"

"That's right." La pointed at Yu Cang's chest, "Have you forgotten, you are the Emperor Star Chosen, and under the protection of the Emperor Star, at least you can definitely enter Transcendence Myth in a clear head!"

 “Is this so…”

Yu Cang was not too happy in his heart.

It seems that if he is alone, it will not help.

Moreover, he couldn’t believe it.

Your Emperor Star has turned into a star yourself... I expect you to protect me? Isn't that a bit too optimistic?

Even if Emperor Star’s protection is really useful by then...who can be sure whether he will be Yu Cang or the revived Emperor Star at that time?

 No, there are definitely places available.

 In silence, Yu Cang turned his attention to the recorder.

 This thing...should be possible!

 The entry equipment system, the entry above the myth!

However, Yu Cang has tried several times since the entry recorder was turned on, but has never seen even an entry above the myth... He now suspects that it may not be possible to reach beyond simply by extracting it. Mythical.

 Perhaps there are other conditions that need to be met by oneself.

La looked at the silent Yu Cang and thought that he was carrying the hope of the entire civilization on his shoulders and putting pressure on himself, so he said: "Don't be nervous. In fact, it is not that difficult to transcend the realm of myths. There are many myths that have long been satisfied. We have met the conditions for a breakthrough, but we just vaguely sensed the unknown danger, so we never made a breakthrough."

 La looked at Ye Lai and Chao Ci behind Yu Cang.

Chao Ci also heard what he said just now, but she kept lying on the table as if it had nothing to do with her.

As if feeling La's gaze, Chao Cicai said: "Gu did not perceive the risk of infection he mentioned - if he is not lying, then Gu has this so-called 'quota'."

La nodded: "The innate transcendent myth... is always special. I have never seen it before, so I dare not speculate. But I can feel that the dragon named Ye Lai should have touched this realm before, but in the end he failed give up."

Ye Lai frowned slightly: "...I don't remember."

 In his memory, he is just a myth...and even among the myths, he is not the strongest part.

"Normally, you come from Chaos. It's reasonable to forget things that have nothing to do with obsession." La looked at Yu Cang, "I can also sense that there is a swordsman from Chaos next to you... I should be able to touch it. Above the myth, but again, give up because of the danger.”

Hearing this, Yu Cang was silent for a moment, and Wang Zhiwo, who was on the side, measured Feng.

“Feng, is what La said true?”

Feng held the knife and frowned.

 He was still thinking about this two days ago... The hometown that came from his memory due to his own power reminded him of many things.

However, he has long forgotten why he didn't take a step closer in the first place. In his opinion, it must be because he is not talented enough.

If he found the reason, he might transcend the myth on the spot, so that Yu Cang would not have to worry about the threat of the Imaginary Palace.

Is it because of what Ra said?

 Feng shook his head: "I don't remember—Summoner, I don't suggest you believe him in everything."

"…I know."

 La didn't care: "It doesn't matter - but, Yu Cang. If you and your civilization really need this quota - Roland Sky Realm has one."

Yu Cang raised his head: "What do you mean?"

"When the Roland Sky Realm was at its most powerful, it was already qualified to give birth to existences above myths." La explained, "At that time, the Austrian Law Council had calculated that some of the laws of the Roland Sky Realm had changed, and there were changes in it that transcended myths. , may not cause distortion.

“Then the Council conducted an experiment—choosing a scholar to forcibly transcend the myth, and then, sure enough, that was the case. The scholar showed no signs of being deformed into a star.”

Yu Cang hissed: "What happens next?"

"Later, the scholar committed suicide." La closed his eyes, "The quota will not be created out of thin air. Since there is a quota, it means that there is something we need to do. But in the Roland Sky Realm, only knowledge is eternal, we don't For what mission would you give up your freedom to study?”

"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned, "Suicide...did he do it voluntarily?"

“Of course—he died in the process of seeking verification, and he left with a smile—but transcending mythology and even ending oneself is not that simple. The suicide process alone lasted 965 years.”

　　 Yu Cang: “…”

Hum, he won't be able to deal with this.

You don’t need to think about it to know that this quota must be very precious, but why do you commit suicide when people say you want to commit suicide?

“Then, the Austrian Law Council made a decision to seal the quota and not allow any mage to break through privately. Although there were objections in the Council at that time, the final number of votes was greater than anything else, so there were no twists and turns.”

Hearing this, Yu Cang thought of something: "What about you? Didn't you say that you have broken through to a realm beyond mythology?"

"Yes. But I didn't use the 'place'." La said, "I broke through only to verify knowledge, not for power. After personally verifying the existence of star distortion, I returned to the realm of mythology."

This so-called quota will only limit his wisdom.

After a pause, Lacai continued: "So, this quota has never been used, including after the large-scale outbreak of the drought - now, it should not have been taken back. According to calculations, if someone from Blue Star uses this quota to break through and surpass Myth, then it will take at least fifty years before the star distortion is triggered again."

This time is not obtained out of thin air, but is summarized based on the time when those existences beyond mythology disappeared.

 Fifty years is indeed a short time in the universe.

"So..." Yu Cang understood, "As long as we go to Roland Sky Realm, we can safely break through and transcend the myth there?"

 “That’s the theory.” La nodded.

“Isn’t your Roland Sky Realm destroyed yet?”

"The Star Gods and Godheads of Roland's Sky Realm have long been destroyed by the Council. The thing that maintains the stable existence of the world now has nothing to do with wisdom. Therefore, even if Huang infects all the wisdom there, the world will not dissipate...it will just be more dangerous. .”

Yu Cang took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

 Fifty years of transcendent myth!

 This is indeed an opportunity!

 Although fifty years is short, it is long enough for Yan Kingdom... What Yu Cang needs most is this period of growth.

As long as a transcendent myth comes out, then Huang Shen and the Imaginary Palace will no longer be a hidden threat, and Yu Cang can openly come to the stage and talk about cooperation with the Imaginary Palace.

 But...how to use this quota...

  After all, although it is a quota, it is also full of uncertainties... If this quota has been withdrawn, the star will be distorted and folded in immediately after the breakthrough of the myth.

 The myth of Blue Star is too precious to risk.

At this time, Yu Cang suddenly thought of what Ye Chengming said to him yesterday.

Emperor Changan, whose life is approaching...will wake up soon.

 A flash of light flashed in Yu Cang's eyes.

 It seems...very suitable for Emperor Changan.

Yu Cang rubbed his head.

"Yu Cang, don't worry, there is still a lot of time." La said, "Between you and your civilization, I will stand by your side."
