Chapter 323 Give Me a Name
For the Creator, not to mention that Yu Cang was only standing on an equal footing with Him, even if Yu Cang suppressed Him with absolute power, He would never bow his head.
Hundreds of millions of years have forged his unbreakable pride. Back then, even the Emperor Star, which towered above the starry sky, could not make him bow his head with pure force.
Such an existence... Even if he has already recognized Yu Cang, to be honest, he himself probably doesn't know how to face a "comrade-in-arms".
After all, for hundreds of millions of years, the only people who had accompanied him were his "children." He had grown accustomed to facing everything in this capacity, accustomed to being the "dependence" of all living things. Although he had witnessed many instances of genuine comradeship,... was he supposed to rely on others? He wouldn't.
Therefore, Yu Cang was still missing the last step if he wanted to make him his partner.
That is - to truly pull him down from the altar, awaken his humanity, and break his long and heavy pride.
Ye Lai knew that among all of Cang's companions, only he could do this - because only he had witnessed the final scene that even the Creator had never seen and that He most anticipated.
Over tens of thousands of years, Ye Lai has traveled through countless worlds, a number that even Feng cannot match.
Moreover, Ye Lai was very strict in selecting the worlds. Most of the worlds he visited were on the verge of being eroded by the wilderness... In each world, he fought almost to the very last moment, until the moment when even the world itself could no longer sustain itself.
He was impressed every time the world was destroyed.
Buzz...
Above Fengyue Cangjian, half of the vast sky was plunged into the dark night without light or shadow. The dazzling light outlined an endless skyline in the night. The purest morning sun in the world, at this moment, exuded a creepy atmosphere of desolation.
Soul cards are a magical power. This system can support the exercise of quite flexible abilities, and it is also very convenient and quick when "changing vests" - you know, in the previous world, those people needed to consume a lot of resources just for the ritual of summoning Ye Lai, not to mention shaping its body later.
Every advantage has its disadvantages. Ye Lai came to the world of Blue Star with the soul card as the carrier, and will also be restricted by the soul card - Ye Lai cannot use the abilities that are not on the soul card.
However, at the top of Fengyue Cangjian, everything changed. He came here with the name "Ye Lai", so the shackles that had bound him for a long time disappeared, and he was able to face the Creator with all his strength!
Night is a myth!
He put all his insights and understandings about extinction into this "dawn" that was supposed to symbolize rebirth and hope.
This artistic conception from the end of the world suddenly shocked the Creator, who had originally not cared, and made Him understand in an instant... how immature the so-called "dusk" He had prepared before was.
Unconsciously, He slowly reduced the intensity of the meteor shower, and thus, the dawn of the end and the meteors of creation were balanced.
Meteors fell into the night and streaked across the dawn. Aurora flickered in the distance, and from time to time, black thunder, caused by the rupture of space, split the sky. For a moment, the beauty of this sky was beyond words.
The battle slowly subsided under such a gorgeous sky.
The Creator gently descended from the sky into the clouds, the dawn still etched in his eyes. As He descended back into the clouds, the sky, once on the verge of collapse, slowly healed, returning to its former state.
Seeing this, Ye Lai did not actually launch the Dragon Breath Slash.
Even if it was fired, it wouldn't cause much damage. Now that the effect has been achieved, it's no longer necessary.
As the night gradually faded, the giant dragon swallowed the Dragon Breath Sword into its mouth and landed next to Yu Cang - then opened its eyes.
The air fell into a long silence. Ye Lai and Yu Cang did not speak, but just looked at the Creator who was standing there in a daze.
After a while.
The Creator's gaze trembled slightly as He looked at Ye Lai: "You... have witnessed so many doomsdays, yet are you still willing to exist in this world under the name of Dawn?"
"Just like you who are tired, I have always cared about your world." Ye Lai nodded gently, "Greetings to you, Creator."
“…and I greet you as well.” The Creator finally lowered His head. “Night comes…in the blue sky.”
A smile appeared on Ye Lai's face.
He knew it was a success.
The Creator's state of mind has undergone some change.
Ye Lai slightly moved sideways to make room, and Yu Cang walked forward and patted Ye Lai's scales.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
With a slight smile, Yu Cang looked at the Creator.
"How about going to the human world with me?"
"This time, I agree." The Creator raised his head and looked directly at Yu Cang, "Yu Cang, please give me a name."
"Oh?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you say that this is meaningless?"
"Indeed... I can only naturally possess my true name when I truly break free from my shell," the Creator said slowly, "but that is when I am born into the starry sky as a god."
Yu Cang seemed to realize something: "Are you trying to say that you don't want to be a god anymore?"
"Well... this time when I go to the human world, I'll use the eyes of a mortal spirit to see it... Perhaps you can help me find another way for Blue Star."
The Creator closed his eyes, and the next second, countless brilliant auroras gushed out from His body, turning into surging waves that sank into the sky and finally hung there.
He liberated his own power.
This power is the part that belongs to "Him". Now, she gave up all of this power and let it turn into a ray of aurora on the top of Fengyue Cangjian, just an aurora.
She slowly walked in the waves of aurora, step by step towards Yu Cang.
Scales, energy... everything turned into aurora and fell off from her body, floating into the sky. She kept moving forward, and her body underwent earth-shaking changes in the process.
This snow-white real dragon gradually took on a human form in the aurora.
Her soft, flawless feet touched the clouds, and then soft snow-white clothes continued to extend from the aurora. She walked all the way, and the light floated down from her body. When she stood in front of Yu Cang, she had turned into a human woman.
She was wearing an ancient Yan country robe with light golden cloud patterns and edging. The soft clothing moved without wind, unlike any ordinary item.
From head to toe, whether it was her hair, skin, or clothing, it was all pure white, untouched by a speck of dust. A pair of dragon horns jutted delicately from the smooth hair above her head.
Standing in front of Yu Cang, she gently opened her eyes, and her light golden pupils seemed to be taken from the purest dusk.
Yu Cang couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
The Creator asked in confusion, "Why? Are you dissatisfied with my appearance? I've heard the voices of countless people who come here. This appearance should be in line with the aesthetic standards of the Yan people."
Yu Cang: "..."
Oh no, the news that Baimao is a Yan countryman has reached the ears of the Creator!
Seeing Yu Cang remained silent, the Creator continued, "I'm quite satisfied with this look... Yu Cang, even if you're dissatisfied, it's too late. I'm already a mortal of legendary rank. It'll probably take some time for me to change my appearance again... If you really can't stand it, I'll just appear as a real dragon on a normal day."
"No, no, how should I put it...it's a little too beautiful." Yu Cang couldn't help but shook his head.
The fact that the Creator suddenly transformed into a white-haired dragon girl was beyond Yu Cang's expectations.
He had to admit that the Creator's aesthetic was absolutely on point, and the human face he sculpted didn't look like something that could be born in the human world. But precisely because of this, Yu Cang always felt that the beauty was a bit fake... Well, to be honest, Bai Long's appearance was indeed more pleasing to the eye.
"Anyway...you should just turn into a dragon."
The Creator will certainly allow it.
She nodded gently, and as she turned, a snow-white, slender dragon appeared in the same spot. This dragon was much smaller in size, and no longer had the terrifying aura of the Creator's original form, but its "immortal aura" was no less.
The Creator bowed his head gently in front of Yu Cang and said, "Yu Cang, give me a name."
Yu Cang nodded, but did not immediately name it. Instead, he said:
"Do you really want to give up your power as a god? This kind of power, once you give it up, you probably won't be able to possess it again."
Such a powerful force will come at a terrible price even if you give it up.
Although the Creator's realm was still a myth, within this mythical realm, she could already be considered truly invincible. Such a powerful force, once relinquished... might never be regained.
What's more, this is the power he was born with. Who can just throw away his talent?
"I know, but it doesn't matter." Her tone was very serious, "Yu Cang, I have figured it out - you can surpass the Emperor's Heart after giving it up, so why can't I?
"If I remain trapped in my divine self, then Blue Star's fate will surely be my destruction. Now, I will use my own strength to transcend the realm of myth. As for those innate powers and divinity..." She raised her head, a smile in her eyes, "I will leave them to Blue Star."
"Okay." Yu Cang also smiled. "Since you've figured it out, I respect you. By the way, as for the name, do you have any requirements?"
"random."
"What do you mean..." Yu Cang rubbed his chin, "That Li Gou..."
Before he uttered the last word "egg", Yu Cang suddenly felt a murderous aura as if the world was about to end.
In the sky, the solidified auroras began to stir, as if ready to unleash their full strength at any moment.
"Ahem...of course I was joking." Yu Cang quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"I believe you." The Creator smiled, but this time, she pointed at Ye Lai who was standing behind Yu Cang and said, "I want a name like his, with the same style!"
Her tone was surprisingly firm.
"Okay, of course." Yu Cang agreed.
He thought about it, but had no inspiration. Suddenly, he took a few steps closer and said:
"Can I... touch you?"
Um?
The Creator frowned slightly, and the snow-white dragon head couldn't help but shrink.
"……Can't."
"Ah... okay then." Yu Cang curled his lips and his eyes became lost.
After shrinking in size, the Creator no longer had that domineering aura, and I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he looked much better.
With such a beautiful real dragon in front of you, is it really not possible to rub it?
I really want to touch the scales...
At this moment, a voice came from behind him. Then, Yu Cang felt a familiar touch gently touching his hand.
"I am the master of this body."
Ye Lai placed her cheek where Yu Cang could reach her, with a smile in her eyes.
"Hehe, thank you, Yelai." Yu Cang was not polite and indulged himself on Yelai's scales.
Creator: “…”
She took a deep breath and after a while.
Then he said:
"...Yu Cang, if this is a necessary step for naming, then I can allow you to touch me a little."
When she said this, she didn't look at Yu Cang, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Really?" Yu Cang's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
After getting permission, he immediately stepped forward without saying a word and stretched out his hand to touch her snow-white scales.
This time, the Creator did not resist, but he did not give in either.
Well... it has a frosted texture, like jade. The touch is strange, but it feels very good!
Humph, the handsome Longlong should be touched by him!
For a moment, Yu Cang felt great satisfaction in his heart.
The silk-soft hair on the Creator's neck spread out along Yu Cang's fingers. Suddenly, Yu Cang had an idea and thought of a name.
"Chao Ci... I'll just call you Chao Ci, how about that?"
The Creator's eyes suddenly trembled, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Okay... My name is - Chao Ci."
…
Some time ago
Towering Peak
Zhong Sheng walked back from the side with a serious expression.
"Look at your stinky face." Jiang Shan slapped Zhong Sheng hard. "I say, you're the guardian of the country, and you look like this just because you lost a bet. Is it really that serious?"
"Go away, who is like you?" Zhong Sheng shook off Jiang Shan's hand. "Xiao Cang has reached the third level. Everyone will be chanting his name later. If the association is not prepared, the Holy City will definitely be in chaos for a while."
He just went to make notifications and arrange work.
"Okay, I know you're busy." Jiang Shan changed the subject and said, "Hey, what do you think the influence of Xiao Cang's chanting of the name of all living beings this time will be...?"
"I can't say." Zhong Sheng shook his head.
Even for people who have entered the third level, the scope of influence of the final vision is different.
When a person comes back from the third level, Feng Yue Cangjian will spread your name as far as possible. Generally speaking, the range of sentient beings chanting your name will be limited to the Holy City.
But it’s hard to say. Theoretically, there is a more distant possibility. According to records, Emperor Yan’s “all living beings chanting his name” was even exaggerated to the point of affecting the entire Yan Kingdom.
"But... Xiao Cang broke through the third level too quickly. I think the range must be very high!" Zhong Sheng said with certainty.
When others entered Feng Yuecang's room, they would definitely move up slowly and adapt to the gradually increasing pressure. How could they be so reckless as Yu Cang, who basically never stopped accelerating all the way?
The first level accelerates the body, the second level accelerates by integrating all traces of will, and the third level is even riding on the years.
Zhong Sheng and his companions on the ground could not see what was happening in the clouds. They could only barely sense which level Yu Cang had reached, so they all found the speed incredible.
Why does it feel like... Xiao Cang is so relaxed.
"According to the time, it should be about time." Jiang Shan said, "That being will chat with Xiao Cang for a while, ask about the affairs of the human world, and then he will let people down."
"Come to think of it, I don't know the origins of that being." Zhong Sheng looked up at the sky, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Judging from the conversations he left behind, he should be very friendly towards humans."
"Why, what do you want to do?"
"...Feng Yue Cangjian has existed at the top of Mount Zun for at least six thousand years," Zhong Sheng said. "Although that being has never shown any ill will, and his stance is backed by several mythical beings...but according to Xiao Cang, Blue Star is about to face an unprecedented disaster. If we can enlist that being's help, perhaps our chances of victory will be better.
"Even if that being is unwilling to directly help humans, it would be good if we could make more use of Feng Yue Cangjian..."
Upon hearing this, Jiangshan sighed.
"Your concerns are indeed justified... However, this is still somewhat difficult. After all, only a few people have ever been able to see that being, let alone discuss cooperation with Him."
"...You still have the nerve to say that."
"What?"
"Look around you." Zhong Sheng shook his head. "Of the four people present, plus Xiao Cang who reached the third floor, besides Qi'er being a child... who would stop at the first floor?"
"Uh..." Jiang Shan's face froze.
Having said that, it seems to be true.
Among the people on the field now, it seems that he is the only one who has only passed the first level?
How could he be blamed for this! Who knew Xiao Cang and Jie Shuang were both so talented!
"Alas..." Zhong Sheng shook his head and stopped making sarcastic remarks. "If I had known Xiao Cang could reach the third level, I should have told him to go talk to that being... Although judging by that being's aloof personality, the possibility of a successful cooperation is slim, at least it would be a good start..."
"...If you really want to, I'll go up right now."
"Come on." Zhong Sheng said unhappily.
In fact, it would be very difficult for young people to enter Feng Yue Cang Jian, but when their strength reaches their level, they can already break into Feng Yue Cang Jian, and they will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
It’s just that... every time they came to the second floor and wanted to step into the third floor, they always had a terrifying intuition... as if as long as they entered the third floor, something terrible would definitely happen, and they might even die!
Soul card masters generally trust their intuition. Besides, forcing their way through would not only do them no good but would also be painful, so no one has ever tried it.
If we really want to discuss cooperation, we might have to take a risk.
Zhong Sheng opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression froze.
Jiangshan seemed to have sensed something, and quickly raised his head, his eyes suddenly widening.
"What's going on...why, why...Xiao Cang hasn't stopped yet?"
Yu Cang, moving towards the third level!
But how is it possible... No one in history has ever reached the fourth level, and even the fourth level itself is just a guess.
But Yu Cang, Yu Cang...
"Too risky!" Zhong Sheng's face suddenly turned serious. "He went to the fourth floor. How...how did he come back?"
When he reached the third level, he was already in a state that even the rules of Feng Yue Cangjian could not repair him. He had to rely on the power of the recitation of the name of all living beings to consolidate his true name, and then move forward... Is there any ceremony that is higher than the recitation of the name of all living beings?
It's impossible!
In other words, Xiao Cang... is very likely to never come back!
"How could this happen?" Gu Jieshuang's expression turned grim. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss...he can't possibly not come back, right?"
Bang! Bang!
Not far away at the foot of the mountain, fireworks began to rise in the night sky. However, at this time, no one present had the heart to appreciate the view of the fireworks.
"Xiao Cang... reached the fourth floor..." Jiang Shan clenched his fists.
“…”
There was silence in front of the towering peak.
They didn't know what this meant. It might mean that Yu Cang's talent and genius spanned ancient and modern times, or it might mean... he must stay in Feng Yuecang forever like that existence.
Suddenly, Qi'er said, "Brother is still alive! I can feel it!"
“…”
"What are you doing? Why don't you believe your brother?" The girl pouted. "Sister, why don't you believe me?"
"...Of course I trust the boss." Gu Jieshuang touched the girl's head and smiled, but the worry in her eyes showed that she was definitely not as calm as she appeared.
"Okay, stop imagining it. Xiao Cang should...what?!"
Zhong Sheng and Jiang Shan raised their heads almost at the same time.
At this moment, the two of them could no longer maintain a serious expression, shock completely dominated their expressions.
"Is that... a myth?"
Boom!!
At this moment, the clouds that had been lingering above the mountain for thousands of years suddenly burst open!
First floor, second floor, third floor!
It was as if a huge hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and for a moment, several people were able to look up at the sky above the clouds without any obstruction!
But...above the third layer, it is still impossible to see what exists there.
Because it has become a torrent of energy.
Half of the sky is as thick as a shadow, stretching across the horizon, while the other half is filled with auroras like waterfalls and groups of meteors. Light and darkness are colliding to the extreme in the distant sky, and the splendor of creation and the final scene of doomsday are displayed in the same sky!
Under such a sky, Jiangshan and Zhongsheng felt their hearts trembling wildly, and couldn't help but want to enter the starry sky field of vision to feel the almost crazy rhythm.
But they knew that now was definitely not the time to reflect.
"Xiao Cang is... battling that being?" Zhong Sheng's face changed drastically. "A mythical collision... damn, how could it be so exaggerated!"
This is the first time that existence has taken action since records began!
Could it be that that being is actually hiding some unspeakable secret...
Forget about those, how could Yu Cang possess mythical power?
"...It's that dragon, Ye Lai." Jiang Shan's face was serious. "Feng Yue Cangjian removed the restrictions of the soul card on Ye Lai, allowing him to regain his true power."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Xiao Cang is clearly at a disadvantage!" Zhong Sheng gritted his teeth, "Damn it... This can't go on!"
How could the third myth of Yan Country fall into such danger right under his nose?
"Jiangshan, you watch here, I'm going up!"
"you……"
Jiang Shan's face changed, and he was about to blurt out "You are crazy", but he swallowed it back.
At the level of Zhenguo, everyone can feel that if they force their way into the third level, something terrible will happen. Although they don't know what it is, this intuition is enough to explain the situation... If they are not careful, blood will be spilled into the sky!
Zhong Sheng is the holder of the mythical soul card "Zhu Zi Tian Jue". What if something unexpected happens to him?
But in the current situation, it seems that this is the only way - if Zhong Sheng can be sacrificed in exchange for the survival of a future legend, then it is worth it.
Among those present, only Zhong Sheng possesses mythical power!
The collision of power in the sky was terrifying. If Jiangshan approached rashly, he would definitely be killed without a trace left!
Immediately, he could only nod seriously: "I will contact the association to send more people, you stay safe!"
Before Jiangshan could finish his words, Zhong Sheng had already thrown away his robe, stepped lightly on the towering top, and turned into a thunderous golden light, going upstream!
Boom! !
In an instant, the sound of the ancient bell that shook the earth and the sky resounded through the sky. At this moment, countless dazzling golden lights suddenly spread across the sky, making the night seem like day!
Bang!
Zhong Sheng threw the scroll in his hand, and the braided ropes immediately broke into pieces. However, the wooden slips were suspended around Zhong Sheng by an unknown force, and each word on them emitted a dazzling golden light!
collapse!
Zhong Sheng's eyes were a sea of golden light, blurring every detail. Countless tiny golden characters streamed from them, some scattering into the air, while others flowed down his skin, landing on various parts of his body. Upon closer inspection, each character was a profound ancient verse.
"Three times a day I attack the will of the Supreme Being—Can Heaven and Earth establish their minds? Can the people establish their destiny? Can peace be established for eternity?"
Feng Yue Cangjian's power continued to influence him, but this time, he rejected them one by one!
In the golden light, Zhong Sheng stretched out his hand: "I activate the spell card: Zhuzi Tian Jue!"
Boom!
The sound of bells from an unknown source resounded throughout the sky. In the opened clouds, blurry golden figures seemed to emerge, reciting countless famous poems, which set off vast echoes between heaven and earth.
At a certain moment, Zhong Sheng pointed to the sky, and suddenly all the echoes merged into one. He shouted:
"——The Saint says: Heaven will punish you and the earth will destroy you!"
…
"Master Zhong! Wait!" A startled voice suddenly came from the clouds. "What are you doing? It's me, Yu Cang!"
Um?
Zhong Sheng was stunned.
He clearly saw that the chaotic noise in the sky gradually disappeared, and in the blurred clouds, Yu Cang, riding a snow-white real dragon, slowly descended to the mortal world.
Yu Cang...is he okay?
Oh no!
Zhong Sheng's face changed drastically, but the golden thunder condensed around him was about to go upstream, and there was no time to hesitate.
If this happens, even the gods in the world cannot save Xiao Cang!
Immediately, he withdrew his hand, the golden light around him rolled back, he raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Puff!!!
Instantly, blood splattered the sky. Zhong Sheng's body floated past Yu Cang's eyes like a kite with its string cut.
"Oh... No!" Yu Cang came back to his senses, "Chao Ci, hurry up, catch him!"
Chao Ci curled his lips.
Being able to let Yu Cang ride on her back was already the limit of what she could accept, and one more?
...Well, after all, it is the first thing Yu Cang has to do by himself.
…
In front of the towering peak
Jiangshan's expression quickly became dull.
Aba Aba...what happened?
Wait…that dragon…that intimidating aura, he would never mistake it.
It is "that existence"!
No, Xiao Cang, why did you just ride me off!!!
