This is a world where Soul Card Masters manipulate Soul Cards to battle. Originally, everyone honestly combined decks and performed advanced summons based on card abilities, until Yu Cang awakened ...
Chapter 551 The Real Imperial Star!
The Emperor Star...appeared in his dream.
After explaining this sentence, Di Xing stopped talking.
Yu Cang also fell silent. He was thinking about why the Emperor Star appeared here.
In fact, I have always been very wary of Emperor Star.
After all, even though the power of the Emperor Star has helped him a lot along the way, what he ultimately has to do is to "take over" his own body.
He felt somewhat uncomfortable with the idea that his body would be used by others after his death.
Moreover, Yu Cang is still unable to verify the authenticity of Emperor Xing's words... What if Emperor Xing can actually take over someone else's body at any time?
Admittedly, the power of the Emperor Star is very useful, but the possibility of being possessed is like a sword of Damocles, always hanging over one's head.
He didn't know how far Emperor Star could go without his permission.
After all, this is the Imperial Star, the unique star and supreme existence since ancient times.
Therefore, Yu Cang really didn't want to see Di Xing come out on his own.
Feng Yue Cangjian appeared once and let him know the existence of the Emperor Star, but that time could be explained as Feng Yue Cangjian’s special rules. What about now?
I just had a dream and I can see the Emperor Star again?
So what happens next? Will the situation spiral out of control, until Emperor Star can come and go as he pleases?
Yu Cang frowned when he thought of that possibility.
However, the Emperor Star has been sleeping quietly all this time, and Yu Cang has no way to influence the Emperor Star, so he can only pretend that it does not exist.
In some dangers, he has to rely on the power of the Emperor Star to turn the situation around... This is also a very helpless thing.
Using human power while still doubting the other party is a bit twisted, but as a normal person, Yu Cang finds it difficult to fully accept such a domineering thing.
Yu Cang knew very well that Emperor Xing was quite familiar with his own psychology... Therefore, if it was not necessary, Emperor Xing would not take the initiative to show himself in front of him and demonstrate this ability of "awakening" to him.
So, now that the Emperor Star has appeared... what does this mean? Did something happen?
These thoughts flashed through Yu Cang's mind, and then he raised his head and looked at Di Xing:
"……What's up?"
He decided to ask directly.
Di Xing nodded without any politeness and said directly: "I want you to stop your research on 'banning cards harmlessly'."
Yu Cang frowned: "Why?"
Di Xing's words were beyond Yu Cang's expectations.
If the banned cards can be rendered harmless, then they will be completely controlled by humans, and the power of Blue Star will undoubtedly be greatly increased, which will definitely be beneficial in fighting against Huang.
The purpose of Emperor Star giving birth to Blue Star is to fight against Huang. How could he stop himself from researching the harmlessness of banned cards?
Yu Cang looked towards Emperor Star, but found that his eyes were calm and indifferent, neither happy nor sad. Only the eternal starlight could leave some traces in his sight.
Di Xing's face was exactly the same as his own, and he was wearing gorgeous armor made of exotic metal. Countless layers of light flowed along every line and edge of the armor. In the hazy air, it seemed as if his entire body was coated with a layer of "divinity".
For some reason, looking at this terrain, Yu Cang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
What is it... Did he overlook something...
While Yu Cang was thinking, Di Xing continued:
"I need the power of the banned cards to fight Huang."
"But if the card is banned, it will..."
Yu Cang swallowed the words that came out of his mouth subconsciously.
At this moment, countless pieces of information flowed through his mind, and he finally knew what he had overlooked.
A terrible guess was born in Cang's heart. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart and his eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Wrong...all wrong!
All along, his understanding of the Emperor Star has been wrong!
Emperor Star has been fighting against Huang for countless epochs, and now it has sacrificed itself to evolve the Blue Star civilization. Therefore, Yu Cang has always believed that Emperor Star should be a friendly unit... However, this inference is wrong!
The purpose of Emperor Star evolving into Blue Star civilization is only to find the possibility of fighting against Huang. Blue Star is just a weapon to him, so why should he care about the weapon's feelings?
Yu Cang was about to explain to Di Xing the dangers of the banned card, but when he saw Di Xing's expression, he knew that no matter how he explained, it would be useless.
Banning cards is indeed very harmful, but that only applies to humans. But if we apply the same standards to the vast star realm...what's wrong with a few people dying? The star realm is already dead silent, so what if a few people die on your blue planet?
For the Imperial Star, let alone humans, even if all the lives on the entire Blue Star are added together, they are just a string of numbers.
All he cared about was fighting against Huang.
Even... maybe he is not fighting against Huang for the sake of the creatures in the star realm, but just for himself... or for other reasons.
The humans on Blue Star are just a weapon, so naturally they must use this weapon in the most efficient way.
Banned card!
This kind of power is not a taboo for the Imperial Star at all, but just a means... the simplest and most brutal means.
Yu Cang swallowed his saliva.
He never put himself in the perspective of the Emperor Star, but once he did so... he would find that the banned cards were really easy to use.
Ordinary people make soul cards, spend a lot of time and effort to gain insights and collect materials, but they can only make a carrier before putting it into use.
In fact, the reason why the soul card system is so strong is only because the energy of "soul energy" and the mechanism of "soul energy well" are strong. Those soul cards are at most some small cards that record rhythm.
If they were placed in other civilizations, even in the Roland Sky Realm, which has the deepest research on the Starry Sky Vision, these soul cards would be useless.
At most, it can be used as some pretty good spellcasting materials.
Powerful forces often come with risks, so soul cards need to be restricted by the upper limit of the soul energy well and mental pressure, and will not output energy without limit. However, banned cards are different!
The material itself is a soul card master, which is equivalent to the direct use of soul energy and soul energy wells, leaving no waste at all. Use it when you want, and directly maximize the mental pressure, regardless of whether you have an upper limit!
Thinking of the existence of Tai Hina...
Yu Cang couldn't help but gasp, and a terrifying guess arose in his heart.
The Imperial Star evolved the human civilization of Blue Star. Could it be that it was for the purpose of... raising poisonous insects?
This process is really like raising a Gu!
The production of banned cards is very simple. Anyone with an adult and a soul energy well can operate it. With some simple methods, you can make ridiculously powerful banned cards... Therefore, once this method is made public, the entire human society will fall into crazy mutual attacks.
The banned cards themselves can also be used as materials to make new banned cards... So, until the end, a strongest banned card will be born on Blue Star... which gathers the power of all mankind!
The soul energies and soul energy wells of billions of people merge into one, turning into the most powerful forbidden card!
Moreover, this banned card most likely doesn't even need a "holder". Just like Tai Hina, he is both a banned card and a banned card master. He doesn't need to be limited by his lifespan and can survive in the world just by "calculating". And then...
Isn’t this the best time for the Emperor Star to wake up?
Such a perfect body... Gu King!
The princess had said that Emperor Star was developing civilization on Blue Star because this time he had chosen civilization. However… before choosing civilization, there was an important prerequisite… Emperor Star had been attacked and severely injured…
Therefore, the evolution of the Emperor Star was most likely a choice made out of necessity...
From the perspective of Emperor Star, the banned card is simply perfect.
Is this... the reason why Dixing chose Taichung as the last candidate?
Tai Chu is the "King of Gu"?
Then... why did Dixing give up Taichu again?
Even a card banner like Tai Hina couldn't satisfy Emperor Star... No, that's not the point...
Yu Cang's face darkened.
The Emperor Star's vision and goals are based on the universe as the scale, and human emotions are meaningless in front of it.
The "harm" of banning cards is no longer a harm, so all that remains are benefits.
However, as a human being, Yu Cang absolutely cannot accept this fate.
He organized his words and then said:
"Emperor Star... didn't you say you couldn't observe the human world? Then how do you know I'm researching the harmlessness of banned cards?"
Emperor Xing said, "Because I have placed great hopes on this path, I will sense it when you begin to stifle it."
Yu Cang: "..."
Okay, that's a bit mysterious.
It makes sense that these strong men all have some mysterious and powerful perception abilities.
"...From what I know, Tai Hina should have already started researching how to neutralize banned cards. Why didn't you warn her?"
If there was, Tai Hina would definitely remind herself.
Who knows, Di Xing shook his head: "She can't do it. Only you have a chance."
“Uh…ah?”
Yu Cang blinked.
Wow...what a sudden compliment.
Di Xing suddenly praised him, which relieved the pressure in Yu Cang's heart, who was frightened by his own guess.
After a pause, Yu Cang took a deep breath, his eyes firmed a little: "Sorry, I refuse."
"Oh?" Di Xing didn't seem surprised. "As a human, you can refuse. But I hope that as a leader, you will consider it carefully."
"I've thought it through clearly—" Yu Cang said without hesitation, "Emperor Star, banning cards is not the only way. Didn't you say before that you would choose civilization this time? I will defeat Huang in a civilized way!"
"...Okay, you can go the way you want, but don't block other roads."
Hearing this, Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, paused for a long time, and then said: "You really are raising Gu."
After the banned cards lose their "harm", their development process will not be so disorderly and barbaric, and the scene of humans devouring each other just for power will naturally not happen.
If Emperor Star only needs the power to ban cards, then there is no need to stop harmlessness!
However, Di Xing's words had already made Yu Cang feel relieved.
Fortunately... banning the card is not the only option for Emperor Star. The most desperate situation he imagined may not be true. Emperor Star does regard "civilization" as a possible option... If Emperor Star also becomes the enemy of the humans on Blue Star, then his situation will be too desperate.
You know, a big part of the reason why Lian La decided to help him in the beginning was because of the Emperor Star - the Emperor Star is the orthodoxy of the star realm. If he stood against it, then he would really be an enemy of the entire universe.
"That's right." Di Xing didn't seem to be hiding anything. "Raising Gu, you can understand it this way—I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. The path you've chosen is not bad, but before Huang launches his final attack, how much time do you have to perfect the branches of your soul card system?"
Yu Cang: "..."
"Blue Star has many paths, and any path can lead to victory. However, before the final outcome is clear, do not block any path."
"…What if I still refuse?"
Di Xing's expression remained unchanged: "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
“I can’t predict how I’m going to do in the future.”
"Will you just give up on me as a chosen one like you did to Tai Hina?"
"That's different." Di Xing shook his head. "I gave up on Tai Hina because she no longer had any possibilities. When she decided to rely on herself, her path was blocked."
Yu Cang frowned.
Relying solely on itself... Is it possible for a chick to sustain its life solely through calculations, without having to obtain "materials" from the outside world?
Is this a bit too arbitrary? On the contrary, he feels that a young player in this state is more likely to push the card ban path to the extreme.
Perhaps it was because of the difference in their paths… Taichu had chosen the forbidden card path, so if he didn't ask for it, he would disappoint Dixing. My path, on the other hand, was the regular soul card path, so for now, I was still on the right path.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang took a deep breath:
"I won't stop my research, but... I respect your opinion. If one day I develop a way to render banned cards harmless, I will... not announce it first."
Yu Cang knew that his vision could never compare to Emperor Xing's, and he had to take Emperor Xing's considerations seriously.
Perhaps, there is really very little time, so little that Yu Cang doesn’t even have time to cheat.
But as Dixing said, he will not give up until the final result comes out.
He would definitely study the harmlessness of banned cards. After all, once the theory of harmlessness of banned cards was put into use, mankind would have a huge additional force, and this force could not be given up.
It will definitely be too late to study this kind of theory by then.
In order to stabilize the Imperial Star, he did not make it public for the time being - this would have the same result as not conducting research.
After saying this, he looked at Dixing nervously.
He didn't want to see the result of falling out with Emperor Star, at least not now.
Fortunately, Di Xing nodded: "Okay."
He didn't show much expression, everything was taken for granted.
Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Emperor Star...can I ask a question?"
"you say."
"Do you have any other choices for the current Blue Star... or even the Star Realm?"
"No more." Dixing said, "You are the only one - and the last one."
"at last?"
"The remaining time is not enough for the next chosen one to grow." Di Xing closed his eyes and his figure gradually disappeared. "If I fail again this time, I will move on to the next era."
After saying that, Emperor Xing’s figure disappeared among the stars.
