Chapter 320: Die and become emperor, year?
boom!
A tremendous pressure descended from the sky. Jiangshan and his companions crouched down slightly to resist it, but Yu Cang raised his head and felt a breeze on his face.
This kind of pressure caused by class differences can now be regarded as non-existent to him.
Of course, this is assuming there is no malicious intent in the coercion.
If a strong person uses pressure to launch an attack, Yu Cang will definitely not be able to resist.
but……
Amidst that pressure, Yu Cang felt a strange power again... This power probably came from Feng Yue Cangjian himself, and it just came here under the pressure of the Creator.
Yu Cang thought for a moment.
He could tell that the power coming from Feng Yue Cangjian was the power that led the people on the towering top to heaven, and the pressure from the Creator... actually played no role in this process. If you had to say it, it only created the soul energy sphere in his mind that served as the "key".
Feng Yue Cangjian’s rewards come from two parts: one is the brand new body brought by the reshaping, and the other is the soul card that suits him.
The former comes from Feng Yue Cangjian's own power, and the latter comes from the Creator.
But...why do these two beings do this?
Fengyue Cangjian is just a seal, why would He grant such a benefit? The Creator once wanted to destroy the world, so why would He grant a Soul Card? If it's to free me, I don't think He has ever made such a request. The Soul Card He gave me is also safe and has not had any unusual problems.
Perhaps, this question needs to be answered by the Creator himself.
Yu Cang gently closed his eyes, and in his mind, the sphere of soul energy that was gathered together due to the pressure had a crack at this moment.
Then, the soul energy sphere shattered under the power of Feng Yue Cangjian, and the power sank into his limbs and bones, flowing like a deep sea current. For a moment, unbearable and severe pain began to grow quietly inside his body.
Yu Cang looked at his hands. Cracks like porcelain had begun to form on the surface of his skin. He could even clearly feel the death approaching step by step - the death of the flesh.
This feeling was unpleasant, but after feeling it carefully for a while, Yu Cang got used to the pain.
He raised his head again.
"Let's make a quick decision."
The next second, Yu Cang slightly bent his knees, and then jumped up with all his strength, his entire body soaring into the sky under the guidance of Feng Yue Cangjian's power!
"So fast?" Jiang Shan was shocked. "Oh no, too fast will shorten Xiao Cang's adaptation time. If the pain fluctuates too quickly, Xiao Cang might subconsciously give up..."
Speed is not something that the faster the better. If you take it slowly, and the pain gradually increases from low to high, then as long as you have a strong will, you may be able to endure it. But this is so fast... The human body has a subconscious stress response. At this speed, it is very likely that the self-protection mechanism will directly choose to exit.
It's like a sudden knee-jerk reaction, and no matter how strong your will is, it's useless.
"...Quiet." Zhong Sheng said, "Trust Xiao Cang, he knows what's going on."
…
call……
The sound of the wind whistled past his ears. In the constant strong wind that blew in his face, Yu Cang felt as if his body had turned into a pile of loose sand, which could dissipate at any time. This process was accompanied by great pain, which made his heart a little unstable.
But, it's not difficult to bear.
Yu Cang even had the leisure to take a look at the entry recorder.
At this moment, there is a seven-day extraction countdown.
Seven days, this represents a mythical entry. Although this is a good thing, but... it is obvious that he can't stay in Feng Yucang's room for seven days.
There's nothing we can do about it.
His eyes then turned to the equipment interface.
At this moment, he has two items equipped: the common item [Will] and the rare item [Immortality].
[Willpower] can improve the stability and toughness of willpower, while [Immortality] can speed up the recovery of injuries.
Thanks to these two entries, although Yu Cang artificially accelerated the ascension process, he still did not feel anything too unbearable.
He could clearly feel that [Immortality] was fighting against the disintegration of his body, but after all, he was actively moving towards the sky of Feng Yue Cangjian, so this term could only slightly alleviate the situation, and there was no way to completely stop the process.
"It can be faster."
With a thought, Yu Cang immediately accelerated, as if a meteor flashed across the night sky. In the blink of an eye, his body had arrived above the clouds.
There were constant wails coming from the body, wrinkles and cracks all over the skin, and the inside was already rotten beyond recognition.
This body has reached its limit... but under the influence of [Immortality], it's always a little short.
Yu Cang could feel that if he didn't care about anything, he might stay here in this state for quite a long time.
Buzz...
Not far away, the clouds continued to bulge, as if something was trying to emerge from them.
Yu Cangzheng turned around and looked at the bulging clouds.
From Jie Shuang's words, he knew that what would appear at this time would be his own self after the end of his physical body.
To be honest, he was also very curious about what his final existence would be like.
Yu Cang looked in front of him with anticipation, however, the surging clouds seemed to have no end, constantly surging up and up, as if a mountain was rising in front of him. For a moment, the roar became more and more intense, making the air around him tremble!
Yu Cang's expression changed quietly.
What's this?
Why is it a little different from what Gu Jieshuang said... Is this a bit exaggerated?
A vast shadow rose above a sea of clouds. Everything around it was shaking as the cloud mountain rose. It seemed as if huge waves were rolling above the clouds. Yu Cang was in the middle of it, like a lonely boat.
Suddenly.
The cloud mountain cracked, and the clouds above it flowed down like water, revealing what was covering the clouds.
Seeing what was inside, Yu Cang couldn't help but gasp.
…
"What's happening in the sky?" Jiang Shan looked up at the sky, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Just now, he clearly felt an unfamiliar pressure emerging from the sky!
This pressure is different from the pressure of that god. The pressure of that god is indifferent, high and mighty, neither sad nor happy, and looks down on everything. He has neither closeness nor malice towards humans. Only at the end of the year and the turn of seasons, will he reveal a vague sense of nostalgia.
But the pressure that had just been born... was like an emperor who ruled over everything. As soon as he was born, he wanted to dominate everything and make all the forces in the world implement his will!
To be honest, this feeling is...very uncomfortable.
No one is born to like being dominated.
Moreover, within this pressure... there seems to be a familiar feeling.
Zhong Sheng also raised his head, his expression extremely solemn.
Even though it is dark now, in the clouds in the sky... you can still see an indelible shadow. There is the source of this domineering aura.
…
The top of Fengyue Cangjian
The white dragon lay in the clouds, its eyes lowered, crossing the layers of clouds and landing on Yu Cang and the shadow.
There was no surprise in His eyes, or to be more precise, no emotion at all.
He just watched it all happen silently.
"Emperor Star...was so anxious to wake up. It seems that Huang in the starry sky may have discovered this place."
He gently closed his eyes, and the aurora spread along the horizon. The gorgeous light made it impossible to distinguish between day and night.
Suddenly, He opened His eyes, and for the first time, surprise flashed in His eyes.
"Xing? ...No, it's not."
After he finished speaking, the entire space fell silent again, and he said no more.
…
Yu Cang looked at the "himself" in front of him, silent.
After the mountain-like clouds fell, a figure almost the same size as himself walked out of them.
This figure had an identical appearance to himself, clad in gorgeous armor made of a strange metal. Countless layers of light flowed along every line and edge of the armor, making it appear hazy and even somewhat unclear.
"Who are you?"
"I am Emperor Star."
Yu Cang frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"
Isn't the being that appeared on this level the result of my physical body reaching its limit? How could it be the Emperor Star?
"As you can see, I am you after you die." A smile seemed to appear on Di Xing's face. "How is it? Are you tired?"
"……What?"
"Are you tired after going through so much?"
"..." Yu Cang was silent for a moment, thinking about what Di Xing meant.
After a while, he said, "What do you mean...you've been looking at me?"
"I can't see you." Di Xing shook his head, "But now—just now. I can see your luck. You don't seem to know how to use your luck, and it hasn't been consumed much yet."
"...What happens if I use my luck?"
"Go through hardships, overcome hardships. Loved ones die one after another, and strength gradually grows."
"It doesn't sound like a good thing."
"This is what you must go through," Di Xing said. "Yu Cang, you can't avoid the torrent of luck by indulging in safety. You must constantly take risks, otherwise, danger will accumulate, accumulate, and find you on its own."
Yu Cang's brows couldn't help but furrowed: "Why should I endure this?"
"Because my power falls on your head." Di Xing said calmly, "This means that you are the only possibility."
“…” Yu Cang was silent.
"So I ask you, are you tired?"
"What if I say I'm tired?"
"You can choose to die in my place." Di Xing said, "I will wake up after you die and end everything."
Yu Cang's expression changed quietly.
"Can't you wake up now?"
"I said, I am just you in death."
"Why?"
"The stars shouldn't interfere with the world, but if the world is at its end, I have no choice but to go there myself. Yu Cang, time is running out. If you feel tired and can't endure the hardships that a hero must endure, let me take over."
“…I refuse.”
And Emperor Star didn't seem to be surprised either.
"Then defeat me."
"Wait, I have a question." Yu Cang suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Based on the amount of luck you see me consuming, how much...love have I lost?"
"The first acquaintance is over," Emperor Xing said, "but destiny will bring you new bonds and new tribulations."
“…Okay, I understand.”
Yu Cang took a deep breath, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
Fortunately, fortunately, I was almost scared.
What do you mean by the first acquaintance is over? If what Di Xing said is true, then Ren Zheng, Cheng Mingye and other elders that he first knew should have passed away. Good friends of the same age, and even Gu Jieshuang, should not have escaped either.
But now, they are still alive! This means that Emperor Star's perception is definitely wrong.
This means...either what Dixing said was all lies, or a new variable has emerged!
Yu Cang knew what this variable was.
Entry recorder!
If I didn't have this golden finger, then starting from the avalanche at Zulong Snow Mountain, I might really have been caught up in various conspiracies as Dixing said, and hurt my friends and elders along the way.
Di Xing cannot see what he has experienced, so his understanding of himself has some deviations.
"Emperor Star, fate has changed." Yu Cang raised his hand and pointed to the sky. Suddenly, a large number of cracks appeared on his body. "I will end everything in my own way... Don't worry!"
boom!
In the sky, the clouds suddenly opened up, and red thunder spread across the sky. A huge meteorite wrapped in hot flames roared down!
The will of the star god!
Currently, I only have one tube of soul energy, but it is enough.
"Oh?" Di Xing's expression changed slightly, "Did I... say something wrong?"
"You're totally wrong." Yu Cang stared intently at Di Xing. "Di Xing, thank you for giving birth to my civilization. If what you say is true, then you will awaken in peace, or never awaken."
This time, it was Emperor Star's turn to remain silent.
After a while, Di Xing smiled gently.
"Okay." He raised his head and scanned the sky, looking at the huge meteorite that seemed to be destroying the world, feeling the terrifying momentum and heat that was constantly approaching, but he did not choose to resist.
"By the way, Yu Cang," he said softly, "If you want to borrow my power, just come and take it yourself. It's up to you how much you want."
boom!
The meteorite fell, countless clouds evaporated at once, and a huge hole appeared in front of them!
Although Di Xing said "Then defeat me", he never resisted from beginning to end and calmly chose to be defeated.
Boom!
A strong heartbeat suddenly exploded in Yu Cang's chest, and countless blood was pumped to all parts of the body, but in this state, it could only cause a burst of intense pain.
Yu Cang lowered his head and looked at his own hand.
"Emperor Star..."
It sounds like... after he dies, he should be ridiculously powerful.
Will he be reincarnated as an emperor directly after death?
However, he hasn't lived long enough, so he won't die.
"Let's go to the second floor."
Yu Cang raised his head, and with a thought, his already torn body shattered into pieces, and he leaped to a higher place.
With the [Immortality] attribute, he could have stayed in this extreme state for quite a long time, but in order to continue moving forward, he chose to actively break his body.
Buzz!
The heavy pressure began to affect his spirit and will. As his body shattered, the soul energy well also disappeared. For a moment, his spiritual world went out of control, and endless soul energy gushed out continuously. Although this made Yu Cang feel unprecedented power, it also made his consciousness quickly blurred.
A lifting force came from under him, lending him a helping hand. Yu Cang knew that it was the Star God who was helping him.
He just smiled lightly, without looking back, and continued to move upwards following this force.
The light around him gradually dimmed, and he seemed to see traces of countless wills around him, following him and trekking upwards.
He barely managed to calm his hazy consciousness and glanced around.
It was indeed as Gu Jieshuang said, there were countless traces of will all around, but they were all muddled and there was no possibility of communication.
The reason why the Saint Master was able to come out and teach Gu Jieshuang was because he left behind the sword intent... In other words, Gu Jieshuang was communicating with the Saint Master's sword intent.
As he continued to move upwards in the dark space, Yu Cang's mind gradually calmed down.
Real name.
He came into contact with the true name very early. Ever since Ye Lai was summoned from the snowy mountains, he knew about this power. When Feng was unwilling to accept his true name, he had been studying how to allow Feng to descend without the help of his true name.
Therefore, he knew a lot about this kind of power - the real name, after all, was the basis for the existence of an existence.
Those souls outside the chaos have already disappeared once in the real world, so they are equivalent to "non-existent" in the present world, and need true names from the world to grant them existence again.
The new summoning method related to "real name" that Yu Cang prepared for Feng has already taken shape, so Yu Cang naturally knows his real name very well.
This second level was not a difficult task for him either.
Now, he could even see Ye Lai's real name hovering around him, silently supporting him as he continued to move forward. He could also sense the connection between his other companions and himself.
only……
Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the sky not far away.
It’s too slow to pass the level like this.
He came to see the Creator. He passed the first level with ease, so how could he get stuck in the quagmire at the second level?
Must speed up!
Thinking of this, Yu Cang suddenly accelerated, and the pressure in the sky also intensified in an instant, trying to squeeze him down!
Naturally, forcibly resisting Feng Yuecangjian's power in this way would be a thankless task, but... Yu Cang has his own way.
In the darkness, he raised his hand.
The spiritual world continued to disintegrate and turned into endless soul energy. Most of this soul energy dissipated into the air because he could not control it, which was tantamount to a waste.
"Seniors, I'm sorry - please lend me a hand."
Buzz!
Endless soul energy burned in an instant, and suddenly, a dazzling light lit up in the darkness. In the blink of an eye, it illuminated the entire space and took in all the traces of will!
"Join—Fuse!"
Buzz!!
Yu Cang burned his soul energy crazily, at the cost of spreading his fusion will violently around, encompassing everything around him!
In the darkness, countless cracks on Yu Cang's spiritual body continued to collapse, and dazzling golden light burst out from it. As he roared, the traces of his will around him also turned into golden light spots, joining Yu Cang in his upward trek, turning into strength to lift him up!
Buzz...
At the very top, the strange beast with a bright red body, a single horn on its head, and resembling a unicorn seemed to have sensed something and turned its head back in a daze.
In an instant, golden light was like rain, and countless wills guarding Yu Cang rushed towards him from the darkness. For a moment, he was stunned where he was.
"That is..."
boom!
Yu Cang roared past, and the strange beast joined behind Yu Cang, becoming a part of this power.
With such power, Yu Cang was unstoppable all the way. The overwhelming pressure from the sky could no longer suppress him at all. In just a blink of an eye, he broke through the clouds and jumped out!
Second floor!
"call……"
Yu Cang let out a breath.
"Wait, is that..."
He chose to merge those traces of will because they were not able to move like Zhongqiu, but could only be said to be some dead objects with some power.
But, did the strange beast at the top just now... react?
Yu Cang blinked.
Oh no... Could he have accidentally wiped out a trace of a possible consciousness?
Before he could figure out what was going on, the golden light that rushed up to the clouds behind him disappeared into the air and condensed into a huge monster.
It looks like it's the one at the top just now!
Yu Cang was stunned. He was about to say something when suddenly, the strange beast opened its eyes.
“…Humans.”
A dull sound came out of the strange beast's mouth, and after a long pause, he continued.
"How many years has it been in the human world?"
"Huh?" Yu Cang was stunned. "You mean, how many years from now?"
"Let me think...how many years has it been since the Flame Emperor became a god?"
"Hiss..." Yu Cang took a breath of cold air, and immediately said, "It's been more than six thousand years."
The strange beast suddenly fell silent.
Seeing him like this, Yu Cang asked cautiously, "Um... I haven't asked you yet, who are you?"
"Me?" The strange beast came back to his senses from silence and said softly, "My mother called me 'Nian', and the people on earth also call me Nian."
"Nian?" Yu Cang's eyes widened. "Wait, you are... the legendary... Nian beast?"
Nian was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Have I become a legend... It seems that it has been a long time."
Yu Cang didn't know how to respond.
According to the records in ancient books, Nian should be an evil beast, but it seems that this Nian gives me a completely different feeling.
Before he could observe carefully, Nian spoke again:
"Human, who are you?"
"My name is Yu Cang."
"Yu Cang." The young man lowered his head gently. "What time is it now?"
"It's Chinese New Year."
"What a coincidence..." Nian was stunned. "Yu Cang, are you here to see mother too? Come on, I'll give you a ride."
Yu Cang's heart moved.
Mother, the "mother" that Nian refers to, could it be the Creator?
Yu Cang looked around and saw that there didn't seem to be any signs of a fight, so he just agreed and jumped lightly onto Nian's back.
"Be careful, if you go any higher, there will be nothingness."
…
The top of Fengyue Cangjian
The white dragon lay on the cloud, somewhat silent.
He noticed something was wrong.
There is something wrong with this Yu Cang!
The stars and the years are His first children.
But this Yu Cang... why did he ride Xing when passing the first level, and ride Nian when passing the second level... After passing the third level, does he need to ride Him again?
Isn't this a bit too arrogant?
"Is it the Emperor Star..."
He stood up, his expression becoming slightly more serious.
If it is the Emperor Star, then it doesn't seem strange.
Just now, Yu Cang's domineering power that integrated everything... looked very similar to the Emperor Star. It should be the power from the Emperor Star.
The Emperor Star has the power to control everything.
At the beginning, when Emperor Star had just fallen to Blue Star, he had tried to dominate Him.
To be honest... that kind of power is truly terrifying. If Emperor Star had not been a dying candle in the wind at that time, maybe he would really be dominated and become the protector of Emperor Star... That would be more painful than killing him.
In countless years, that was the only time that I felt a little bit of fear.
At this moment, He suddenly realized.
Perhaps, Yu Cang's purpose in coming to Feng Yue Cangjian was not simply to obtain a reward... but to enslave him!
"Heh..." A trace of emotion flashed across his eyes. "The people of Emperor Star... are all the same."
