Chapter 547 The Secret of Immortality
After Feng finished speaking, Yu Cang fell into silence.
Tai Chu, have you ever had any contact with Emperor Star?
He frowned, his eyes flashing with thought.
Emperor Star died ten thousand years ago, and his body turned into nutrients, giving birth to the Blue Star civilization.
Before, in Feng Yuecangjian, on the first level, Emperor Xing had used the power to briefly awaken, which made Yu Cang realize that Emperor Xing was not completely dead. Perhaps the reincarnation of several centuries had made him tired of the repeated failures in fighting against Huang, so he planned to do it himself this time.
As long as Yu Cang dies, he will wake up, use Yu Cang's body, and fight against Huang as an emperor.
At that time, he already knew that he was the Chosen One of the Emperor Star, and he also learned from La some information about the relationship between celestial bodies and the Chosen Ones, so he was not surprised that the Emperor Star could do this.
In itself, celestial bodies have the possibility of "taking over" their chosen ones through the influence of a long period of time, but this is difficult to do. As the strongest and most special celestial body, it is normal for the Emperor Star to be able to do this.
However, because he had heard from the princess before that in every era, only one Emperor Star Chosen would be born in the star realm, Yu Cang subconsciously believed that he was the only Emperor Star Chosen.
But when Feng told him about this... Yu Cang realized that the truth of the matter might not be that simple!
The information from the princess is based on information from the previous era.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, the Emperor Star could only choose one Chosen One in an epoch. However, in this epoch, things had changed.
After being plotted against by an unknown force, the Emperor Star chose to release its own life and gave birth to civilization. This was unprecedented, so... it is normal to be able to choose a few more choosers, right?
Yes, now Yu Cang suspects that Tai Chu is also the chosen one of Emperor Star!
The names that Feng's [Name Beheading] can cut out all have direct logical relationships. If it is just a relationship of the Emperor Star's gestation, then this Emperor Star will definitely not appear in Taichu's relationship network!
From the current perspective, the Emperor Star has been hidden for thousands of years. Ordinary people can't even hear of its name, let alone encounter it. The only one who can have such a heavyweight relationship with it... is the Chosen One.
Yu Cang stroked his chin. Although he had some doubts, he was still not sure.
After all…if it was the Chosen One, why was it dimming now? Once you were a Chosen One, it was basically unchangeable; there was no chance of changing your destiny star.
Like Stardust's brother, the Emperor Star has always been hidden, so using artificial stars to replace it is extremely rare after all.
So...what will happen?
Yu Cang couldn't help but look up and look at Tai Chu who was watching a video.
Although there was suspected to be a second Emperor Star Chooser, Yu Cang did not feel any psychological gap.
The Imperial Star was originally just a form of his power, and he did not regard the Imperial Star as his complete property.
In fact, the Emperor Star has always been very mysterious. Both Stardust and La know very little about it. If Tai Chu is really also the Emperor Star Chosen, then Yu Cang will be very happy - because this means he will have more opportunities to study the Emperor Star and analyze the essence of its power.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Cang pursed his lips.
"Jie Shuang." He said, "I'm going to go talk to Senior Tai Hina for a while."
"Um?"
"I have a few questions I want to ask you, senior."
"Okay then... I'll go with you!"
…
The plane was a chartered one and there were not many people on board.
After all, even if Tai Chu has a good relationship with Di Chang'an, he is still a card-banning master after all, and it is not easy for him to go in and out of public places openly in Yan Country.
Therefore, Di Changan thoughtfully arranged a chartered plane for him. Now there are only some accompanying association members in the plane, so it doesn’t matter who sits there.
"Taichina-senpai."
Yu Cang sat next to Tai Chu.
“…You can’t help it.”
Tai Hyun's eyes never left the terminal.
"Ask, I can satisfy your curiosity."
Yu Cang paused.
It seems that Tai Hina knows what he wants to ask?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Tai Hina had said before.
"Yu Cang, you and I are actually the same kind of people."
Could it be that, at that time, Taichu meant it was because of the Emperor Star?
Yu Cang felt a little nervous, and for a moment, Tai Chu's image seemed much more mysterious to him.
Although Emperor Star evolved the Blue Star civilization, very little information was left behind, and he obtained it all from Xingchen, Chao Ci and others.
And can Tai Hin detect the clues by herself?
but……
Yu Cang glanced slightly to the side and saw that Taichu's personal terminal was displaying a video from a certain audio platform, in which the love-hate relationship between Sang Biao, Xiao Shuai and Xiao Mei was in full swing, and he could hardly hold back.
Sister, you are a legend.
Do you usually watch these short videos?
Isn't it a bit too down-to-earth?
Cough cough.
Yu Cang coughed lightly and pulled himself back to his thoughts.
"Um... you're a card banner, but you don't seem to be afraid of the backlash from banning cards? I've learned some card banning knowledge, so could I ask for your advice?"
Yu Cang decided to ask something else first.
"……this."
Tai Hina smiled.
Still scrolling through short videos, without looking up.
"It's simple. I am the strongest banned card. Which banned card can backfire on me?"
Yu Cang: "..."
Is that so?
Although I had expected this, I was still shocked when I heard it.
Too young, he really made himself a banned card.
So... according to the theory of card banning, the current Tai Hina is probably no longer the same person as the Tai Hina who had not yet become a card banner many years ago, right?
After all, becoming a banned card means having your personality shattered and reshaped.
However, Tai Hina has lived for two thousand years as a "banned card", which is far longer than the time she has lived as an ordinary person... If you calculate it this way, perhaps no one can tell who the real "Taichun" is.
At this time, the plot in Taichu's personal terminal seemed to have reached its climax. The commentator's mouth sounded like a fight, with all kinds of moves flying all over the place. Although he was alone, he created the feeling of a bustling crowd.
Tai Hina said at this time:
"I know what you're thinking. I can tell you that my self-perception hasn't changed at all before and after becoming a 'banned card,' and I don't have a 'pseudo-personality disorder.' I've always been myself."
The terminal was noisy and bustling, but Tai Hina's tone remained calm.
Yu Cang paused: "How... did you do that?"
"I don't know—I'm sure you've heard that after I became a banned card, I took on many apprentices. Most of them didn't survive because I wasn't sure why I was immortal, so I was experimenting."
"Yeah... I heard about it."
"That's a rumor," Tai Hina explained. "I know exactly why I'm immortal. What I don't know... is why I didn't turn into a monster."
“…” Yu Cang was silent.
"When I became completely banned, it was out of necessity, but the process was surprisingly smooth, and my personality remained intact. I thought a banned card without a 'manipulator' would quickly backfire and turn into a monster, but I still haven't.
"Even though I'm a mythical card banner, I still don't know what's happening to me. I'm curious, but even though I've conducted many experiments over the years, I still haven't found the secret."
"Is that so..."
Yu Cang was silent for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to Qi'er beside him.
Madam Yu is Taichu's apprentice, and seems to be one of the rare apprentices who survived Taichu's hands.
To be honest... although Qi'er is a semi-finished product, the Soul Energy Well has been removed. In this state... it can actually be considered a banned card.
Qi'er, on the other hand, has remained very stable, showing no signs of pseudo-personality disorder. Furthermore, Mrs. Yu is said to be quite confident, stating that "Qi'er is perfect."
It seems...Mrs. Yu has learned a lot from Tai Hyun...
"That girl over there—is that Qi'er?"
"right."
"I've seen it in the intelligence," Tai Chu said. "Di Chang'an gave me a copy of Qi'er's banned pattern. It looks fine, but once it's completely banned, it's hard to say. I also had a few 'apprentices' before, and I thought I could succeed before the ban, but in the end, I couldn't escape it either."
Yu Cang: "..."
"But after you started writing about Qi'er in Mudu, I became unsure. Judging from the patterns you changed, your understanding of banned cards is a little confusing even to me. So I'm a little curious about your level of banned card skills, but you're unwilling to show it. It's really disrespectful."
"Um... Senior, I was a little nervous just now..." Yu Cang could only laugh dryly.
But I also felt relieved.
In Mudu, the Mirage Dragon was directly integrated into Qi'er's body as a banned card material. This was mainly due to the entry recorder, and he didn't know how to operate it specifically.
If Taichung asked him to do it again, he would definitely be exposed.
However, it seems that Tai Chu also has his own insistence and does not want to force Yu Cang to take action.
Tai Chu glanced at Yu Cang.
Then he turned his gaze back to the terminal and said casually:
"I know, you still want to ask how I achieved immortality, right?"
"This... is what I thought of."
Who doesn't want to know this kind of knowledge?
It seems that Tai Hyun has completely mastered the way to "eternal life", but... I'm afraid Tai Hyun is not willing to tell others easily about this level of skills?
Di Changan and Tai Chu had such a good relationship, but they both didn't get it.
However, contrary to Cang's expectations, Tai Hina casually said:
"It's very simple, just do the math."
"ah?"
"The growth and evolution of life is chaotic and disordered, but there are traces that can be followed. I rely on sword intent to calculate every possibility and solidify it, so that I can continue life.
"However, this method also has limitations—the possibilities I calculate must be new and orderly. You can understand my life as an infinite series of non-repeating decimals. My true life died when the decimal point fell. Everything after the decimal point is the result of my 'calculation'.
"And once the numbers begin to cycle, I will inevitably become an out-of-control banned card; once the numbers become chaotic, I will lose the definition of life. The life I continue is like an endless exhaustion. Theoretically, it can be infinite, but I can't be sure if there will come a day when I have exhausted all possibilities."
Tai Hyun's tone was somewhat indifferent: "By then, I will probably be dead, but now it seems that it is still a long time before then."
"Is that so? I understand." Yu Cang didn't understand at all.
So mysterious.
Is this the world of your mythology? I really can't fathom it.
Yu Cang thought that his ability to understand was quite strong, but he still couldn't understand... Could it be because he was still too weak?
No...it shouldn't be a question of strength.
Emperor Chang'an's strength is also legendary, but judging from the fact that his end is approaching, he probably doesn't understand it at all.
No wonder Taichu didn't care about sharing this method. It turned out that the threshold was too high and he was not afraid of others learning it.
But...
Yu Cang paused, then asked curiously:
"I heard... your Taiyan Sword Intentions can use banned cards just by calculation?"
"Yes, but if you don't fill it with material, then it can only be used this once."
"So this is the same principle as the method of immortality you mentioned, right?"
"...almost, but not entirely." Tai Hina shook her head. "To continue my life, I don't need any so-called 'materials'—I just need to calculate them."
"ah?"
"The reason the calculated banned cards require materials is because they require a 'Soul Energy Well'. This cannot be calculated and must be obtained from the outside. I already have a Soul Energy Well, so this step is unnecessary."
"Isn't that making something out of nothing?" Yu Cang was shocked.
Isn't this just freeloading? No need to pay, just calculate it casually?
"...Those calculations are also very troublesome." Tai Hina said, "And on the other hand, those 'materials' are too dirty. I don't want to put them into my body."
Yu Cang nodded slowly.
really.
In front of Taichu's almost perfect body, I'm afraid no one would dare to say that his body is not dirty.
Perhaps… not using “materials” is also the reason why Tai Hina never experienced pseudo-personality disorder.
However, from what Tai Hina said, does she still have the Soul Energy Well?
Theoretically, there would be no such thing in the banned cards... This might be some magical technology of Taichu.
Although Yu Cang was still a little confused, he did not ask any more questions.
Just as Di Changan said, Taichu's path to immortality is only her own.
Perhaps Gu Jieshuang could give it a try after understanding Taichu's sword intent, but Yu Cang definitely couldn't.
The air was silent for a moment.
After a long time, Yu Cangcai said.
"Um... Tai Hina-senpai, do you know 'Emperor Star'?"
…
Click.
Tai Hyun finally closed the personal terminal in his hand.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Yu Cang.
"Emperor Star... Of course I know." Tai Chu raised a smile, "However, it was thanks to you that I learned that thing... had such a great origin."
Thanks for the tip for not being able to think of a good name!
