Chapter 768: Tsundere is Better than Straight

"You mean to say."

Chao Ci was suspended in the air in the form of a white-haired dragon girl, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, staring at Yu Cang with her big eyes.

"I...am a 'usurper'?"

Yu Cang shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not... The usurper refers to the second generation Emperor Star."

However, Yu Cang's explanation obviously did not satisfy Chao Ci.

She looked very angry.

"But, according to what you said, I am that useless 'mistress'. Doesn't that mean I am usurping the position of the mistress?"

Yu Cang: "Uh..."

"How can this be possible!"

Chao Ci took a deep breath, obviously trying hard to suppress his anger.

"You're talking as if I really want to be some mistress... You're actually treating me like a villain like Di Xing!"

Seeing this, Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But he also quickly comforted her: "That is to say, oh my, why is this Star Lord Church so bad."

Although, theoretically speaking, the Star Lord Church is the existence that created Chaoci and is the "mother civilization."

But it was obvious that Chao Ci had no good face towards him at all.

As arrogant as Chao Ci was, even though the mistress was more noble than the original one, she despised her origin which was usurped.

However, Chao Ci really doesn't need to care too much about the Star Lord Church.

On the one hand, it has long been extinct.

On the other hand... even if the Star Lord Church was able to create Chao Ci, it was only because of luck, a miracle intertwined with countless coincidences.

Rather than saying that the Star Lord Church gave birth to Chao Ci, it would be better to say... under the original long-term imagination, the birth of the "Mistress" was already destined by fate, and the Star Lord Church just happened to come at the right time and used the luck of the entire civilization to accelerate this process.

From this perspective, the Star Lord Church is not worthy of being the "mother civilization" of Chaoci.

"snort."

Chao Ci snorted coldly.

She probably understood this in her heart.

But this also made her more disgusted.

Suddenly, she looked at Yu Cang, her expression slightly relaxed.

Then, he suddenly said, "If that's the case... doesn't that mean that if I 'break out of my shell' normally and go to the Star Realm... then I won't be infected by Huang?"

After learning so many truths, Huang's true nature has become clear.

It was the original curse that was the means He used to take back the gift.

The Primordial created countless living beings for each celestial body. It can be said that all the "thinking", "wisdom" or similar concepts in the world were bestowed by the Primordial.

Only the names are not—the original names were given by the various celestial bodies.

Later, it came from the creatures themselves.

Whether it is celestial bodies or living beings, they are essentially original creations. The way they name each other originally originated from the living beings' resistance to loneliness.

When given a name, the six desires arise. With a name, there are desires.

Therefore, when the Origin took back everything He had bestowed upon living beings, the living beings, left with only desires, naturally became "wild."

No one can resist the curse of the original, because the original is only taking back what belongs to him.

And those things that were taken back... were the wild crystals.

From this perspective, the wild crystal... is the condensation of all the essence of a living being.

La once said that the power of Huang and Celestial Distortion came from the same source. This was true. They did indeed originate from the original source, but in essence they were two different curses.

As for Chao Ci… Although, Chao Ci’s wisdom is likely to be no exception, and its source should also be original, but…

As the mother of the Lord, Chao Ci is obviously an exception.

Yu Cang nodded: "In theory, it should be like this..."

After he said this, Chao Ci's eyes suddenly became deep.

She looked at Yu Cang and said calmly, "Back then, Nian sold me to you for this very reason..."

Yu Cang: "..."

Cough cough.

It seems... Come to think of it, what Nian did was indeed not very fair.

Back then in Feng Yuecang, he saw traces of Nian's soul. After learning that he was the Chosen One of the Emperor Star, he took the initiative to take him to the third level... and let him "dominate" Chao Ci.

Well...admittedly, this mentality is well-intentioned.

Chao Ci should have been free to travel to the star realm, but because of love, he was trapped in his own eggshell for his entire life.

Seeing Huang wreaking havoc on the star realm, even if Chao Ci pecked through the eggshell, he would not be able to fly, so Nian came up with this idea... Under the command of Emperor Xing, at least, before the world is destroyed, Chao Ci can truly fly once.

But now, after the truth came to light, the matter has obviously changed.

What a filial son you are, Nian.

Chao Ci raised his head slightly: "...Humph, what's that expression on your face?"

Yu Cang looked away.

"Yu Cang—that expression of yours, does it mean that I feel that after all my journey, I will regret it now?"

"ah?"

Yu Cang was stunned and turned his head, only to find that Chao Ci was looking at him with displeasure.

"You are doing this for my own good, but you are also the one I have truly chosen to entrust to my heart. Otherwise, how could you possibly change my mind? Yu Cang, why should you feel guilty in front of me? Don't taint the bond between you and me!"

Yu Cang stared at Chao Ci in a daze, and then suddenly smiled.

That's right... the momentary hesitation in his heart just now was really inappropriate.

If it was when I just met Chao Ci, I would have definitely made Chao Ci angry by now.

"I see."

"snort……"

Chao Ci turned and drifted away. "Also... after learning the secret of my life, I am even more certain that choosing you was the right decision. Every stroke of the name of the mistress is filled with filth and deception. Compared to the falsehood of being high and mighty, I prefer the position beside you."

"I am very grateful to you for saving me from the falsehood."

If Chao Ci was really born as a mistress, after knowing everything, he would only feel ashamed and angry due to the huge gap.

Being as proud as Chao Ci, he would not allow himself to become such a dirty being.

Chao Ci's pride does not change in the slightest because of his status.

It’s nice to be next to Yu Cang.

Although they are mortal spirits and not noble, she firmly believes that one day they will be greater than all falsehoods.

"You bastard..."

Hearing these words, Yu Cang had to admit that he was a little moved.

It feels so good to be trusted by others.

Moreover, the one who said such words to him was the always arrogant Chao Ci!

When Tsundere plays straight, then Wei is doomed to die.

Just when Yu Cang was unable to control his emotions.

Chao Ci suddenly turned around and moved closer to Yu Cang.

"Are you happy to hear that?"

"ah?"

"For dinner, you know—I want crawfish flavor."

"ah……"

"Okay, I'm going to rest."

Chao Ci snorted and returned to the place where he had landed the chariot.

Seeing this, Yu Cang blinked, and then felt a little amused.

Well...it seems that Chao Ci can't maintain his straight-shooting state for too long.

Today is really a strange thing.

The princess, who had always been outgoing, became timid, but the arrogant Chao Ci suddenly spoke frankly.

It turns out that if you live long enough, you can see everything.

"!! Who are you calling timid?"

"have no idea."

Yu Cang shook his head vigorously.

"I'll fight you!"

The angry princess transformed into a spirit body and launched a headbutt attack at Yu Cang, but was blocked by Yu Cang with a single palm.

"Okay, stop it."

Yu Cang stroked his chin, but he was thinking about something else in his mind.

A very important thing.

"What are you thinking about?"

La's figure appeared beside Cang.

Now, the original imperial consciousness has not completely dissipated, and the present world still maintains a certain degree of connection with the Starry Sky Vision. Therefore, even if La's soul card is still in death cooling, La can still appear next to Yu Cang briefly.

"Ah... pull."

Yu Cang regained his composure, "Although everything seems clear now, but...if I think about it carefully, there are still some doubts."

"...It seems you've noticed it too." La nodded. "Finally, what Shenxi said... is very concerning."

"That's right." Yu Cang became serious.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become serious, the princess, who was still trying to cover up her shame and anger with a headbutt, couldn't help but stop.

Well...it seems that no one cares about her gaffe.

Good opportunity! Run!

The princess plunged into the starry sky vision and buried her head in the arms of the star god's will like an ostrich.

When he saw Chao Ci, Shen Xi said something.

"How could you possibly—what qualifications do you have, what qualifications do you have to name the Mistress? You—you don't have such authority, nor such status!"

It looked like just an insult thrown in a fit of rage, but if you thought about it carefully, there was something wrong.

Apparently, in the astral realm, names are important... even determining who holds power and authority.

Yu Cang was not sure whether the names of all places in the chaos were so important, or only in the Star Realm. Because Yuanchu cared too much about whether his mother had named him, the importance of names became a rule of the world.

Both situations are quite possible.

But no matter what the situation is... it seems, as if, I really am not qualified to name Chao Ci.

Back on Blue Star, when Chao Ci was still the Creator, he indeed did not have a name for hundreds of millions of years.

Chao Ci herself said that when she was truly born, she would automatically have her own real name.

Before that, no one was qualified to name it.

Even a code name cannot exist!

There is no record of his name in the Soul Card Master Association, and all the myths throughout history cannot connect a certain word group with Chao Ci.

The Creator is so noble.

And after learning about his true status, this dignity will be even higher.

If such an existence wants to get a name, I'm afraid... the only way is to give it to itself.

If naming is really that easy, then the astronomer in the First Age would not have had to name the entire starry sky before daring to name the original one.

Everything he had done before was to ensure that there was someone qualified enough to bestow the name... and even so, he almost failed, or at least was not completely successful.

But... Yu Cang gave it a name very naturally.

This shows that Yu Cang's status must be equal to or even higher than Chao Ci's.

You know, even Emperor Star can only use the method of raising insects to absorb Chao Ci's power... If you can just give it a name like Yu Cang, then why bother with so much trouble?

At the beginning, Chao Ci, who was trapped at the pinnacle of mythology, could reject the domination of the Emperor Star to a certain extent, so how could he be named by Yu Cang?

Thinking about it this way... everything that seemed to be a natural process at the beginning in Feng Yuecangjian didn't seem so simple.

For example... Yu Cang encountered obstacles in the first three levels, but he got through them smoothly.

However, when he wanted to reach the fourth floor, he succeeded very naturally.

According to Yu Cang's recollection, at that time, he thought he could do it, so he did it.

This was actually quite unreasonable, and Chao Ci was completely shocked, but because his vision was still narrow at the time, Yu Cang just thought it was reasonable and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Also, why did Dixing choose himself so firmly?

Before, many talented people like Changsheng, Xili, and Taichu were considered by Emperor Xing to have no chance of fighting against Huang.

But he asserted that he was the last hope.

Although Dixing explained that it was because time was running out, it now seems... that is not the case!

Moreover, the visions caused by the name are not limited to these... Back then, in the place where the real dragon died, Yu Cang had once snatched the elixir of immortality from the mouth of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor with just his real name, and even took away all his power!

La looked at Yu Cang with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Yu Cang, it seems... your life experience is not simple."

I thought Yu Cang was just a selector, a young man who was lucky and happened to have vision and courage.

It seems that there are still many mysteries about Yu Cang.

Yu Cang was silent.

His eyes were looking at the ground, but actually, he was looking at the panel in the void.

All the mysteries about him have been basically revealed along the way, except... the panel in front of him is still mysterious.

This power that records everything, writes everything... and the shop that seems to be asking him to collect wild crystals...

Is the almost unreasonably high status in my name because of you?

——Entry recorder?

La couldn't see the panel, so he just thought that Yu Cang, who was looking at the floor, was thinking.

He didn't interrupt.

After a long time, Yu Cang raised his head, took a deep breath, and then suddenly said:

"Come to think of it...it's a little suspicious."

"Hmm? What?"

Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the sky.

There, the separation of the original imperial consciousness is still continuing, and it seems that it will continue for quite a long time.

"Back then... when Shen Xi activated 'Original Promise', a gaze from the Primordial Emperor's Consciousness came over me... It felt very familiar to me."

"Oh?" La raised his eyebrows. "You're not going to say that you've seen it before?"

"That's right."

Yu Cang clenched his fists, narrowed his eyes, and after a long silence, he spoke:

"If I remember correctly... it should be when Emperor Xing pulled me to the third floor... that god who suddenly rushed out and looked at me."

That was on the way to the Longevity Tent.

Because his research involved the possibility of successfully rendering banned cards harmless, Di Xing couldn't wait to pull him to the third level of the Starry Sky Vision while he was sleeping. That was also his first time to go to the third level.

There, he had a conversation with Emperor Xing. After the conversation, Yu Cang did not rush back, but stayed for a while.

Just at this moment, he saw the arrival of a god that spread across countless light years.

Yu Cang wanted to go back like crazy, but it seemed that he was still a step too late. At the last moment... a star armory suddenly appeared, trying to cover Yu Cang's escape.

But... he was directly torn apart by the god's gaze, without any ability to fight back!
