Chapter 275 "The Responsibility of Genius"

At the Jieying campus, more than seventy national guardians have gathered, including most of the top card makers in Yan Country.

In the past few days, the Ancient Capital University has successively distributed the Path to the World of Knowledge to them, so they have all tried to come to the Jieying campus several times to test whether there will be any problems.

However, the few times I came here before, Jieying had specially solidified an independent area in the Jieying campus, which was not much different from an ordinary small room, and I couldn't see the scenery outside from inside.

Now, when the nebula covering the Jieying campus was dispersed by Yu Cang and the brilliant starry sky was fully revealed at once, the shock can be imagined.

The Starry Sky's visual field was vast and boundless. It could actually be seen as a projection of the Star Realm. And how vast was the Star Realm? Even a civilization as powerful as the Nameless Empire couldn't claim to be able to pinpoint the edge of the Star Realm, let alone Blue Star.

At this moment, as the rhythm deepens, the almost infinite depth of the starry sky above can be truly felt. It can even be said that the more powerful a person is, the more they can sense the depth and magnificence of this starry sky.

The group of guardians of the country in front of me felt the same way.

However, they had all lived for most of their lives, and although they were secretly surprised, they appeared calm on the surface.

"Greetings, fellow guardians of the nation." Yu Cang's rhythmic body stood beneath the ancient tree, a smile on his face. "I am Yu Cang, and I am honored to invite you all to participate in the first Jieying Summit. This summit was held a little hastily, so please forgive me if there are any shortcomings."

The guardians of the country were all silent, and there was a lot of complicated look in their eyes when they looked at Yu Cang.

Jieying Campus, and even Starry Sky Vision, are very unfamiliar and novel words to them.

In fact, most of them only learned about this concept in recent days.

To be honest, when they first saw it, they were really shocked.

With the help of the perspective of the destiny star, you can see the whole world without any obstruction!

What an exaggerated method... Blue Star had used the Zhoutian Resonance Method for more than a thousand years, but it was instantly killed by the Starry Sky Vision Field without leaving any trace.

This superiority is already shown on his face!

And when they learned that the person who discovered the Starry Sky Vision was actually the young man who has been in the limelight recently... you can imagine how complicated their feelings were.

Synchronicity and Star Rank are enough for a scholar to devote his entire life to researching and perfecting, so why add another Starry Sky Vision?... This Starry Sky Vision is so dangerous.

Yes, in their eyes, this place is dangerous.

They only have the passage to the world of consciousness, but no passage to the other world. In other words, they cannot enter the starry sky vision field on their own and can only come to the Jieying campus.

But even though the rhythm of the Jieying campus has become very solidified, they can still feel the huge danger contained in it that is difficult to fully understand.

They are all scholars and naturally know the temptation of knowledge to a scholar, but sometimes, omniscience is not a good thing.

Great power often comes with a price, and the same is true for knowledge.

In fact, at their level, they can already vaguely sense that there may be unknown powerful life forms above the starry sky, and those life forms are beyond the reach of the current Blue Planet.

But fortunately, Blue Star cannot go to the star realm, and it seems that it is also difficult for the beings in the star realm to descend to Blue Star. There is some kind of power between them that isolates the two worlds, allowing Blue Star to ensure its own safety under the starry sky.

They feel very secure.

But in this starry sky field... they don't feel safe at all!

Once exposed here, it is very likely that they will be found here immediately. Moreover, unlike the real world, most of those powerful card makers cannot enter the Starry Sky Vision. How can they resist the covetousness of such an existence with only their few thin lines of sight?

What's more, all the knowledge learned here may be the bait thrown by those beings to Blue Star. Once Blue Star bites the hook, it will be doomed immediately!

"Yu Cang." A national guardian raised his hand. "This summit is about sharing the brand-new resonance method, also known as the Starry Sky Vision… We already have a basic understanding of the situation here, so let's cut out the meaningless chatter. I just want to ask: How can you guarantee safety here?"

Yu Cang's eyes fell on the guardian of the country, and at the same time, his gaze swept over the other guardians of the country.

These guardians of the country were still relatively calm, but they were not familiar with the Starry Sky Vision after all. The swaying rhythm in their sight had more or less exposed their inner thoughts.

He knew the concerns of these national defenders.

It's nothing more than fear. This is a Pandora's box. Once opened, it will release an unknown and terrifying crisis.

In fact, they are very happy to see the emergence of something as epoch-making as Starry Sky Vision, but they hope to explore it slowly and become familiar with it gradually. However, Yu Cang wants to skip these stages and directly promote it from top to bottom.

They don't like this approach, no matter what the reason is.

At the very least, we have to wait until safety is completely confirmed, wait until every city has two or three places like the Jieying campus, and wait until there is a group of talented people with rhythmic bodies... Only then can we promote it with confidence.

But Yu Cang didn't dare to wait.

He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I can tell you for sure - the Starry Sky Vision Zone is extremely dangerous. I can't guarantee its safety here."

"How can you be sure...huh?" The guardian of the country was stunned for a moment.

Yu Cang continued, "I was the first person from Blue Star to enter this place. I condensed my rhythmic body here and built the Jieying Campus and Ice City from scratch. I also learned to identify beasts and insects here. This process should have required countless sacrifices, but I was lucky enough to avoid such a cost.

"I can clearly say that even now, I cannot guarantee that I will not get lost in the Starry Sky Vision. The Starry Sky Vision is dangerous, there is no doubt about it."

The state guardian frowned and said in a serious tone, "Then this method should not be promoted—I disagree!"

"..." Yu Cang looked at the guardian of the country and did not respond. Instead, he raised his head and said, "But, I have seen something even more dangerous."

"What is it?"

"Before that, let me tell you a story." Yu Cang spoke softly, his rhythmic voice clearly reaching everyone's ears. "This time when I went to the Divine Capital, I met a friend—she is from the Star Realm, from a powerful empire."

The guardians of the country looked at each other, not knowing what Yu Cang was up to, but no one interrupted him.

Some of the state guardians already knew what Yu Cang was talking about as their eyes fluctuated.

The ruins of Shendu No. 8, the consciousness from the star realm!

Ye Yan Shenhua said in person that this relic should not be destroyed forcibly in order to protect this consciousness.

"You should have guessed who I'm referring to—her name is Stardust."

Crash!

A ray of light suddenly rose in the venue, and beside Yu Cang, the figure of Xingchen slowly appeared.

Seeing this, many people looked shocked.

Although the power systems are different, the aura cannot be faked. The princess's own energy may be weak, but the huge shadow behind her indicates that she may have possessed the strength of the pinnacle of the world.

"Greetings, scholars." Xingchen bowed gently, his gestures in accordance with proper etiquette. "It is an honor to meet you all here. Regarding Mr. Cang's subsequent explanation of the Empire and the Starry Sky Vision, I can personally and in the name of the Empire guarantee the truthfulness of what he says."

Many of the state guardians frowned and were about to say something when they heard a voice from the crowd.

"I can testify to that, too."

The guardians of the country looked at him and swallowed back their words.

Ning Xingyi!

No one would disrespect this person.

This is a person with full strength, status and combat effectiveness. If they were to say that Xingchen is a person of unknown origin, they would be suspicious, but since Ning Xingyi has spoken... then they will doubt it later.

Seeing that no one had any questions, Yu Cang continued, "Stardust comes from a powerful empire. The empire's territory stretches across the center of the starry sky, possessing the most abundant resources in the entire starry sky. Within the star realm, almost nothing can be considered a danger to the empire, and everything can be utilized.

"The Empire's most powerful technology is the Starry Sky Vision. They use spirit particles to blur the boundaries between the real world and consciousness, building magnificent wonders within the Starry Sky Vision to help the Empire maintain its rule. They use the Starry Sky Vision to hide 'war objects' to ensure that they can quickly launch a saturation attack on any space under the starry sky.

"They are the nominal masters of the interstellar sky. Among the civilizations they have thoroughly 'cleaned up,' there are countless others similar to Blue Star."

As Yu Cang explained, a "screen" made of spirit particles rose up behind him, and pictures were continuously played on it. They were all wars launched by the "Empire" against a certain "world".

These images all come from the princess's memories.

The guardians of the country were silent in the audience.

Just listening to the description... this seems to be a very powerful civilization, definitely an existence that Blue Planet cannot afford to provoke.

The picture on the screen looked very real. At least from their perspective as defenders of the country, there was no problem with the logic of the picture.

At this time, Yu Cang's tone sank: "If the Empire wants to invade Blue Star, it can directly transport the war celestial bodies in through the Starry Sky Vision without any effort - this has nothing to do with whether we understand the Starry Sky Vision.

"This is the first point I want to tell you—the 'barrier' between the starry sky and the Blue Planet isn't as solid as you imagine. With the help of the Starry Sky Vision, many entities can bypass it and enter the Blue Planet. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to explore the Starry Sky Vision as quickly as possible to deal with the invasion."

The guardians frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, a state guardian spoke:

"Then... let me ask, Ms. Stardust, what is the Empire's attitude towards Blue Star now?"

This state guardian now feels only troubled.

If these are all true, then Stardust's existence will undoubtedly be a hot potato... No one knows why she came to Blue Star, and why she has been sleeping here for a thousand years.

Xingchen looked at Yu Cang.

Yu Cang said directly: "Let me answer your question... The empire has fallen."

"What?" The state guardian was stunned for a moment.

You just spent a long time exaggerating about that extremely powerful empire, and in just one sentence... it's gone?

This is so fleeting!

"Everyone, please look up." Yu Cang tilted his head slightly. "How many civilizations do you think there are in this starry sky, apart from Blue Planet?"

“…”

No one spoke.

They hadn't even realized how this powerful "Nameless Empire" disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yu Cang didn't seem to expect their answer, but just said calmly: "I can say with certainty now - the starry sky is dead silent!"

These eight words echoed with the rhythmic sound, and every guardian of the country couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts.

Dead silence...what does that mean?

"Even the strongest empires have been shattered by the invasion of the Desolate, even their names erased. Before meeting me, my beast, the Realm Shadow, had wandered through thirty-five worlds. They were all completely eroded by the Desolate, leaving no life untouched... I wonder if you've ever witnessed a world fall?"

The scene on the big screen changed.

"...the earth shattered, the sky melted into nothingness, and the creatures assimilated by the desolate world roared and raved in the apocalypse... until everything in sight turned into a bubble in the chaos."

These are Ye Lai’s original words.

What was projected on the big screen was also a somewhat vague fragment of memory from the night before.

In the Starry Sky Vision, these scholars who did not have rhythmic bodies were easily affected by emotions. Therefore, this doomsday-like scene made everyone feel a despair that was almost suffocating.

Among them, some of the country's guardians had long known about the harmfulness of Huang, but the memory scenes today... were the first time they had seen them.

Shocking, beyond words.

"Huang? But..." said a national guardian, "Huang doesn't have such a strong power, right?"

"Huang isn't as simple as you think," Yu Cang explained. "We thought Huang was easy to deal with because he's currently unable to infect humans—but Huang is already adapting. We all underestimated Huang's ability to learn and evolve. Once Huang finds a way to infect humans, then—his downfall is inevitable."

"And." Yu Cang's tone was slightly more serious. "In theory, Huang cannot enter the Starry Sky Vision Domain. However, deep in the starry sky, my consciousness insects encountered an existence that can affect the Starry Sky Vision Domain. Once they have completely learned how to enter the Starry Sky Vision Domain, then... the entire starry sky of Huang will surge in! By then, whether there is a way to infect it or not will no longer matter.

"The Empire has no reason to attack us, but Huang is different. Therefore, we are running out of time. Huang is a disaster that can truly destroy the Blue Planet. We don't have time to take our time. We must explore the Starry Sky Vision as soon as possible!"

Yu Cang glanced over and said, "Whether it's Star Rank, Synchronization, the current Starry Sky Vision, or future new achievements, I will share them with you. My time is limited, and I may not be able to ensure that all the results are in a complete state of research... I can only ask for your cooperation. I will find more opportunities for the survival of Blue Star. Now, it is far from enough."

…

Among the crowd.

Zhuangzong was already standing there in a daze.

He looked at Ning Xingyi, then at Ye Chengming, and his gaze swept over Ren Zheng and even other national guardians who held high positions in the association... but he found that their gazes all revealed a solemn rhythm... This indirectly reflected that what Yu Cang said was true.

Apart from anything else, even Ye Chengming did not express any objection to such a big thing, which was enough to prove the authenticity of this matter, and even had the approval of those two legends!

this……

Zhuangzong raised his head and looked at Yu Cang, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He thought again of what he had said when he accused Yu Cang in person, and his face became red.

He just didn't want to see Yu Cang become like Zhao Yang, who became famous at a young age, became too arrogant, was not satisfied with the results he had already achieved, and insisted on researching the illusory things... In the end, his talents were exhausted, his mental state was also affected, and he became like everyone else.

In his opinion, since Yu Cang has invented synchronization, he should keep his feet on the ground and follow this path to the end. Otherwise, if he fails miserably, something will go wrong sooner or later... Even if nothing goes wrong, it is still a manifestation of a poor mentality. Young people nowadays do not know how to keep their feet on the ground.

That's why he scolded him in person, hoping to warn him, and even used the righteousness of being a frontier soldier to pressure Yu Cang.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with this. Everyone had a different understanding of the Flame Emperor Medal. In his eyes, this was the weight and responsibility that the Flame Emperor Medal should have, and it was natural.

But he didn't expect that his vision was still too narrow.

Yu Cang's gaze had already skipped over what was in front of him, and he immediately began to think about the safety of the entire Blue Star... If what he said was indeed true, then the things he had taken out now were indeed not enough, and he really needed more.

but……

Zhuangzong looked at Yu Cang on the stage, and his eyes couldn't help but shake.

How can we let a child shoulder such a heavy burden as finding a way out for civilization?

This is not fair!

Zhuangzong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything for a moment.

After all, Yu Cang's talent is indeed unmatched in the world!

Without him, no one could enter the Starry Sky Vision, no one could sense the Star Ranks, and no one could see so many possibilities in the summoning method!

Even, no one could notice the huge crisis hanging over their heads!

At this moment, he suddenly understood Yu Cang's feelings.

Sometimes, too much talent...maybe it's also a curse...

It must be Yu Cang's exaggerated talent that allowed him to see things that ordinary people could hardly perceive, and made him keep himself very tense since he was a child, not daring to slack off in the slightest. That's why, after achieving things that ordinary people could not reach, he continued to move forward towards the unknown peaks without hesitation!

Looking at Yu Cang's rhythmic body that was complete to the extreme, Zhuangzong became even more convinced of this.

Although he had only entered the Starry Sky Vision Area a few times, the difficulty and danger of condensing the Rhythmic Instrument had already left a deep impression on him. If he was not careful, he would get lost in it.

This is definitely a pain that ordinary people cannot bear, and Yu Cang... must have suffered this torture since childhood?

He probably understood Yu Cang's life trajectory, and the turning point was obvious - it must have been when he returned from the imperial capital, when he truly mastered this great resonance method through repeated life-threatening explorations of the starry sky.

Now, Yu Cang is sharing the world as he sees it, and he is actually questioning the responsibility and mentality of such a genius... It's not unfair. The two slaps Zhang Wenxian gave him were really not unfair. Now he even wants to slap himself twice!

Yu Cang doesn't need me to put pressure on him. What he has on his shoulders is the safety of a world and even the entire starry sky!

They released the synchronization for everyone to improve together. This is a sign of trust in these old guys. It is no less than telling them: "While I move forward, I leave my back to you!"

How could they betray that trust?

For a moment, the old man felt tears welling up in his eyes, and the blood that had been dormant for a long time began to boil again.

Okay, let’s do it!

On the field, the eyes of many national guardians suddenly changed. Obviously, their thoughts were very similar to Zhuangzong's.

On stage.

Yu Cang sensed all of this clearly.

Cough cough.

He felt a little guilty, but the powerful ability of the Rhythmic Body prevented him from showing it.

Hey! Are you guys imagining things too grandly?

God bless him, he didn't think so much... He is also a human being, he would also think about slacking off, and he even just fell in love two days ago.

...Forget it, it seems to be a good thing for now.

The princess stood obediently on the side, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Yu Cang!" Zhuangzong stepped forward. "I apologize for my previous remarks... I'm truly sorry. I underestimated your resolve and willpower. Don't worry, since you've already paved the way for us, an old man like me won't embarrass you. I'll help you identify all the hidden dangers of Starry Vision and ensure its smooth rollout!"

“I support that too!”

"I still feel..."

"What are you still hesitating about?" Yi Zhenguo was furious. "Ye Zhenguo has acquiesced, which proves that Yu Cang's words are true. This is a life-and-death crisis. How can you have the nerve to dither?"

“…I agree.”

Seeing this, Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there seems to be some deviation, the result is not bad after all.

"Yu Cang." You Zhenguo frowned. "Now that we've concluded our discussion, I'll be heading back first... This Starry Sky Vision is still too much for me..."

"No rush." ​​Yu Cang smiled faintly. "If the workload is too heavy, just take a break. Our Ancient Capital University has specially prepared a venue and has been waiting for you for a long time. It's perfect. Let's change the venue so that I can introduce the next content."

"What?" The state guard was stunned.

…

Wengu Lecture Hall.

"...So boring." Li Si leaned back in his chair. "Sister Zhang, it's been so long, why haven't they come back yet... Are they really just holding an online meeting? Then why are we setting up this venue..."

“…” Zhang Sansan was also silent.

She sighed and was about to say something when she suddenly saw several people in the front row stand up.

Those people are researchers from the Ancient Capital University. What are they doing... Wait, why are they summoning soul cards?

Zhang Sansan's eyes widened. Just as she was stunned, a flood of information suddenly swept across the entire place!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of the information torrent crashing into the anchor ring came one after another. More than 70 researchers launched their "scholarly self" at the same time. This scene was truly spectacular.

Scholar's Self needs to remain connected to the Soul Energy Well. That is to say, a Soul Card Master can only summon one Scholar's Self, and while maintaining the Scholar's Self, he cannot summon other linked summons.

Although it is a limitation, it is still very powerful!

Bang!

In an instant, more than seventy human figures made up of light spots appeared on the field. Judging from their expressions, they were probably very confused.

It can be seen that the scholarly ego of these people is much dimmer than Yu Cang's, and lacks some texture, probably because they have not condensed the rhythmic body.

"this……"

"Alright, everyone," Yu Cang said with a smile on his face. "Please take your seats under the guidance of the volunteers. Next, I will introduce to you another brand new summoning method I discovered - Link Summoning!"

"Wait, Yu Cang." A national guardian said quickly, "Are we... being summoned to the ancient capital?"

"Not really." Yu Cang shook his head. "It's just that the Rhythm Body has been summoned here. You can go back at any time, and you can also move freely here. As long as the spiritual card master who summoned you does not exceed the mental stress limit, you can remain here forever. You can even comprehend the rhythm here."

…

"Holy shit!" a national guardian cried out in disbelief. "I'm overseas... and I'm back in this instant?"

With so much time, several guardians of the country have already thought of various wonderful applications.

The most tempting thing is, of course, that it will greatly reduce the death rate of soul card masters!

Good heavens, they haven’t felt the danger of the Starry Sky Vision yet, but they have definitely enjoyed this benefit.

This...cannot be refused!

Thanks to book friend 20200506071028257 for the reward!
