Chapter 402: Ability of the Famine Year
The true self could not bear the mythical level of mental pressure, and Chao Ci disappeared almost as soon as he appeared in the world.
However, he left behind [Stars Like Rain], and the galaxy outside Yujiang City was upside down, and the roar of God could no longer be heard.
The light of these meteors is bright but not dazzling, but there are so many of them that they illuminate the sky of Yujiang as if it were daytime.
The meteor shower lasted for ten minutes. After it ended, Ye Chengming hurriedly approached the battlefield and looked at the position where the god was originally.
The wild crystal that had maintained its integrity even in the center of the mythical battlefield has now completely disappeared without a trace.
A huge deep pit was left in its place, and it seemed bottomless as far as the eye could see.
Probing deeper, he felt a scorching breath surging faintly underground... Ye Chengming knew that this deep pit had probably touched the asthenosphere of the blue planet, which is the area where the magma is located.
However, there is no need to worry about lava rushing up from below.
There are many secret realms near the asthenosphere, so even if you dig a hole, no magma will rise. Generally speaking, mythical attacks that could destroy the Blue Planet are usually stopped by the various secret realms near the turbulence layer.
The same should be true for Chao Ci's [Stars Like Rain] this time - if it weren't for those secret realms, it might not be impossible that Stars Like Rain would directly penetrate the Blue Star if time were longer.
After checking many times and confirming that the wild crystal had indeed disappeared, Ye Chengming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A headache spread to his mind, and Ye Chengming rubbed his eyebrows.
It's finally over.
This time... the information obtained is crucial.
Not only did he learn that the god behind the Desolate Sect actually existed, but he also indirectly found out some of the god's abilities.
Huang Jing... As expected, controlling Huang Jing was the right decision.
Of course, the most useful information is the relationship between God and the Desolation Sect.
Based on this information, the association can also better formulate corresponding countermeasures.
Since God doesn't care about the actions of this sect... then some things can be done more radically.
A thought flashed across Ye Chengming's eyes.
In a few days, Di Chang'an will wake up... Should we take this opportunity to let him take action personally and eliminate the Desolate Sect?
...I'm afraid not. If a mythical being rashly intervenes, the gods behind the Desolate Sect will definitely not sit idly by, and they might become even more crazy by then.
Still need to take it slow.
There are quite a lot of places in Yan Country right now that need the intervention of myths.
The Hunter Clan is shrouded in mystery, and the exploration of the Nightmare's borders has reached a bottleneck. It's a rare opportunity for Di Chang'an to wake up, so he might have to take care of these things.
...a turbulent time.
Ye Chengming turned around and looked at the surrounding environment.
There is no yellow sand around here anymore.
The army of Jiangcheng will regularly clear out the wild beasts near the Great Wall, but after all, this is a wild land and it is impossible to clear it out completely, so there must be quite a few wild beasts.
But now... there is not a single one to be seen.
When the myths fought, the wild beasts that could sense the situation had already fled, and those who didn't have time to run didn't need to run now.
From the Yujiang city gate to the battlefield, a distance of sixty kilometers has now become a mess, with countless deep trenches and cracks. From time to time, you can see various broken stone pillars left by the field card, inserted into the ground around.
In one battle, the terrain was rewritten countless times, and the entire earth was cut off by more than a hundred meters. Looking into the distance, the area affected by the field was far more than the scope of the battlefield. It seemed that the radius of the field was estimated to be more than a hundred miles.
This made Ye Chengming's head start to hurt again.
The places left by God are most likely permanent, and it is difficult to expect them to dissipate naturally.
Those places can already be called a new secret realm.
Although the God's Wrath Land was outside the borders, Ye Chengming didn't dare to leave it alone. What if it could spread on its own? What if the Desolate Sect could do something bad in this land?
It's hard to say for sure. To be on the safe side, Yan Country still has to govern this place... and also take the opportunity to understand the capabilities of this place so as not to be confused during the next battle.
"well."
Ye Chengming sighed rarely.
He raised his head and saw a silky aurora floating in the distant sky.
That was the remnant of the strange phenomenon left by the rain of stars.
It looks really good.
Chao Ci's last words suddenly flashed through Ye Chengming's mind. A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he regained his composure.
After standing silently for a moment, Ye Chengming turned around and returned to Yujiang.
…
After the meteor ended, Ning Xingyi stood there for a long time before he came back to his senses.
He looked down at the Emperor Wu's Sword in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then canceled the summons.
As soon as the sword left his hand, he suddenly felt his body become much lighter.
"Senior Ning?" Yu Cang asked, "Are you okay?"
"Not bad." Ning Xingyi smiled and shook his head. "I don't know if I can personally touch such great power before I die."
"Yes."
"Hahaha, Brother Cang, you don't need to comfort me. I'm already an old fellow half buried in the ground... It's very difficult to break through." Ning Xingyi said, "Seeing this amazing sight of the galaxy hanging upside down, I have gained some insights. It's a pity that my understanding is dull. I still can't grasp the stronger sword intent, nor can I wield the final Emperor Sword."
“…”
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Ning Xingyi patted Yu Cang's shoulder. "It's getting late. We've lost too much today. Go back and rest."
…
Ye Chengming and Ning Xingyi didn't say a few words to Yu Cang. After confirming that Yu Cang was safe, they left in a hurry.
Late at night, Yujiang City was brightly lit, and from time to time one could hear the footsteps of soldiers passing through the streets, heading outside the Great Wall. Card makers from all over Yan Country also rushed to the battlefield.
The mythical battlefield has not appeared for hundreds of years. This will be a carnival for card makers.
Yu Cang returned to the dormitory of the treatment bureau, sent a message to Ren Zheng and Gu Jieshuang to report that he was safe, and then fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was already the next night.
His head still hurt a little, but this time, Yu Cang couldn't tell whether it was the sequelae of mental overload or from sleeping too much.
Sitting up from the bed and yawning, he realized that Chao Ci was not lying on his chest today. Instead, he turned into a white-haired dragon girl and sat at the table beside him, looking at Yu Cang's computer with a serious look.
Ye Lai lay on the table next to Chao Ci, watching him type line after line on the computer.
"Chao Ci? What are you doing?"
"...I'm sorting out my abilities during the famine."
"Ah?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Do you know Huang Nian's ability?"
"...Of course." Chao Ci nodded, "Don't forget, I'm also a card maker."
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that all the soul card rewards given to Feng Yuecang in the past were from Chao Ci.
Although Chao Ci does not have a soul energy well, she can present her abilities and some rules in the form of soul cards. Moreover, for thousands of years, she has been constantly learning card making from people who came to Feng Yucangjian. She can definitely be regarded as a powerful card maker.
Now that he has lost the power and authority of the Creator, Chao Ci may not be able to make any very powerful soul cards, but his vision is still there, and it is no problem for him to summarize the information about the famine.
After all, Chao Ci was born yesterday by directly merging with Huangnian, and she must have the deepest feeling about Huangnian's abilities.
After figuring this out, Yu Cang suddenly became interested. He got off the bed and came behind Chao Ci.
"Let me see, let me see!"
“…”
Chao Ci didn't say anything, but just silently moved his chair to the side to make room for Yu Cang.
…
Soul Card Name: Condemned Clan: Eternal Famine
Category: Summon Card
Star level: 25
Quality: Fusion
Attribute: Fire
Race: Wild
ability:
Two or more summoned beasts of the wild beast race.
[Desolate Body]: When the player has Desolate Soul Energy and no summon cards in the Main Deck, this Soul Card can be Fusion Summoned directly. This Soul Card will enter Death Cooldown when the Desolate Soul Energy is depleted.
[God's Condemnation]: When summoning a Soul Card, you can use that Soul Card directly as a material. In this case, you can only summon a beast with a higher star rank than the Soul Card. Doing so converts the Soul Energy of that person into Desolate Soul Energy.
[Man-Eating Da Sui]: Charge and condense multiple fireballs. During the charging period, the fireballs can devour surrounding ranged attacks and increase the power of Man-Eating Da Sui.
[Chronicles Without Change]: When this soul card is on death cooldown, you can consume a tube of desolate soul energy to summon it again and transform it into "Timeless Disaster Year".
…
As for Wu Shi Xiong Nian's panel, Chao Ci also sorted it out. It is also a fire attribute fusion summoned beast, but the star level is 26, and the race has changed to: Wild/Divine Beast
In terms of abilities, Wu Shi Xiong Nian no longer has [Bare Body] and [Condemned by God], and only has [Year of Cannibalism] and [Announcing the Chronicles], and has one more ability:
[Sometimes of Fire and Cold]: After [Man-Cannibal Years] is used nine times, the soul card enters death cooldown.
It is indeed as God said, after death in a disastrous year, [Chronology Change] will be triggered, and the world will return to a period of eternal famine.
The document on the computer is just the information that Chao Ci sorted out through his memory. It is not a real soul card. The original body of this soul card is still in the hands of God.
Yu Cang looked at Huangnian's information, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
If we only look at Famine Year as a soul card, it is undoubtedly very powerful.
Although his ability introduction does not seem to be as impressive as a myth, the star level 25 alone is enough to create a sense of oppression.
According to calculations, the star level of a myth is between 21-30. Those above 26 are already super-level myths.
25 years of famine and 26 years of disaster have already reached the pinnacle of ordinary mythology.
Moreover, the strength of this soul card does not lie in its combat power, but in its summoning conditions... This summoning condition is simply too simple.
As long as the summoning conditions for [Blightborn] are met, you can simply pull it out of the extra slot without paying any price... It's so easy. This is a myth! Doing nothing and summoning a myth right from the start is simple and intuitive.
Even from the description... when activating [Body of Desolation], not only do you not need to consume materials, you don't even need to pay soul energy. It's completely free.
Add to that the almost non-weak self-resurrection of his [Chronicles]... it's powerful, needless to say.
Of course, the fact that summoning is easy means that removing him is also not that difficult. A summoned Famine Year will die after the Desolate Soul Energy is used up. Putting this aside, there is also the [God's Condemnation] that can easily aid the enemy.
Judging from the description, even if it's an enemy, they can sacrifice Huangnian at any time... In other words, if they really want to get rid of him, it will only take a moment.
However, it’s okay in actual combat.
For example, in yesterday’s battle, Ye Chengming and Ning Xingyi fought for a long time but didn’t discover Huangnian’s ability. Why?
It's very simple, because there are no soul cards with star levels higher than 25 in their decks.
Star rank 25 is already quite high. Even if you look across the entire Blue Star, you may not be able to find a soul card higher than 25, so this weakness can be said to be non-existent.
Even if there is such a card, this weakness is targeted, and Huangnian can still pollute the opponent's soul energy well. It will be useless unless two myths besiege it.
Not to mention... after the famine year enters death cooldown, you can directly [Chronicles Without Changes] and jump back. This time, the disaster year does not have this weakness... In this case, [Condemned by the Gods] is not only not a weakness, but also a good way to block the opponent.
Taking all factors into consideration, the only way to deal with this soul card is to consume the opponent's desolate soul energy as quickly as possible, making it difficult for it to revive... However, considering that the one holding this soul card is the God of Desolation, this weakness does not really matter.
It is worthy of being God's Soul Card. Just reading the description gives me a strong sense of oppression.
Yu Cang looked at Chao Ci: "It seems that our response at that time was half right due to a combination of reasons."
This is how you deal with a famine.
Not to mention that everyone was a minister before the emperor, at that time, any ordinary fusion could melt the famine.
As the terminal, Chaoci's star rank is definitely higher than Huangnian's.
The reason why it is half right... is because Yu Cangrong's is an unlucky year, and an unlucky year is not [condemned by God], so it cannot be integrated by others... That's why Chao Ci had to come forward and talk a little bit.
Chao Ci's brows were still furrowed.
"Chao Ci, what are you thinking about?"
"...Nian's original ability is not like this."
"What should that be?"
"Nian does have the ability to [chronologically change], but it should follow the cycle of Yao Year, Auspicious Year, and Disastrous Year. Every time it dies, it transforms into the next form, and each form has different abilities. Even if it becomes a soul card now, theoretically, there won't be much change."
Yu Cang blinked, then nodded in understanding.
"I see... I was wondering why this description felt a bit strange. There's no difference in abilities between the two forms of Famine and Sinister... Now it seems that Famine is only infected with the 'Sinister' part of Nian? Then... Yaonian and Ruinian might still be alive, right?"
Chao Ci: "...You think too much."
