Chapter 556: Xingchen’s Brother!
The message Di Changan sent to himself was very short, just one line of words, but the information contained in it was terrifying when one thought about it carefully.
Previously, he had learned that in the border country on the border of Nightmare, there were "national rules" that bound all living things.
However, the only time Yu Cang saw the Nightmare Border with his own eyes was when he watched a live broadcast of the project during the major armament overhaul.
In those projects, at most, there were a few citizens from border countries, and they did not have further contact with the "national regulations", so Yu Cang's impression of the national regulations only remained in the written materials.
Of course, it still is to this day.
Therefore, he did not have a very deep impression of the Nightmare Border, nor did he have any intention of exploring it in depth - the danger level of this ghost place was too disproportionate to the benefits, and the association was obsessed with it only because there might be a passage to the astral realm in it.
But now, the astral realm is dead silent and full of dangers. Even the association has gradually lowered the priority of this project, not to mention that with La and the princess here, there is a more convenient way to travel to the astral realm.
But now, with a message from Di Chang'an, Yu Cang's thoughts changed quietly.
…
-
Yu Cang, if I am not mistaken, the principle of the "national rules" of the border country should be the spirit particle.
…
Lingzi!
Di Changan naturally has a talent for learning this kind of thing.
However, for a legend like him, the soul card has been used for too long, and even if there is another better system, he doesn't particularly want to change it.
However, after a brief contact, it is not a problem to gain basic perception ability of leptons.
Therefore, Yu Cang believed that Di Chang'an's perception would definitely not be wrong!
And, looking at the current star realm, the power of spirit particles... should only be mastered by the Nameless Empire... right?
So, who created this so-called "national rule"?
Yu Cang suddenly became unsure.
After all, the Nameless Empire has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and these national rules might have been created by one of its predecessors.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Cang picked up the terminal again.
He wanted to inquire about the specific situation and then ask the princess.
The Nightmare Border and Blue Star are quite close, so this matter needs to be clarified as soon as possible.
…
after a while
Starry Sky Vision
"What?"
The princess suddenly stood up from the palm of the Star God, her body composed of spirit particles kept flashing. Obviously, she was definitely not calm at the moment.
"You mean... there are spirit particles within that Nightmare boundary?"
"That's right, and it's not just a little bit." Yu Cang's face was also serious. "From the current detection, the 'national regulations' are spread throughout the border country, and the border country... is definitely larger than Blue Planet."
“…”
"Hmm...are there wild spirit particles in nature?"
Princess: "..."
"Okay, I understand." Yu Cang looked away.
Don't look at him like that... He just wants to ease the atmosphere.
"Wild spirits, perhaps you mean insects." said the princess.
"Ahem." Yu Cang coughed lightly, then said, "Emperor Shenhua told me that he sensed a power similar to 'spiritual particles' throughout the starry sky that overlaps with the border country. These spiritual particles act according to specific rules, and any existence that violates the rules will be attacked by the spiritual particles.
"That is, 'national rules' and 'divine punishment'."
The princess took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Then what?"
"And then—seven suns. Emperor Mythology saw seven suns in the sky far away from the border country. However, it seems that only Mythology and above can see them. No one who has come to explore the Nightmare Border before has ever mentioned this strange phenomenon."
After saying this, Yu Cang looked at the princess and stopped talking.
Stardust sighed and then smiled softly.
"It seems that you have some guesses."
"That's right." Yu Cang nodded. "If my memory is correct... I remember that when we were in the Divine Capital, you mentioned to me... that your brother had seven 'artificial life stars'."
A pure celestial body composed of spirit particles!
The raw materials even include the corpses of gods from the previous era!
This is one of the highest creations of the Nameless Empire in the realm of spirit particles. With the help of these seven artificial life stars, the Stardust King Brother can possess extremely powerful strength. Even when he was still at the mythical level, he could fight with the "Creator" on the Blue Star.
In his prime, Chao Ci possessed absolute crushing power at the mythical level. The fact that he could participate in the battle was enough to demonstrate his strength.
Brother Wang has seven celestial bodies, and there are seven suns on the border of Nightmare. How can this be such a coincidence?
"Moreover, the current situation at the Nightmare Border is consistent with my impression of your brother." Yu Cang continued, "You said that ten thousand years ago, after your brother learned of Emperor Star's intentions, he left Blue Star and went to an unknown place to buy time for the development of Blue Star's human civilization from Huang's clutches.
"Back then, he was just a myth, and to say that... honestly, it was a bit arrogant. But now it seems he's truly accomplished it—the junction between the Nightmare Border and Blue Star has been surrounded by the Border Country. And within the Border Country, it's swarming with terrifying numbers of desolate beasts.
"If these wild beasts rushed into Blue Star, we would be powerless to fight back. But now, they have been stopped by the border countries and the 'national regulations'."
I'm afraid the combined size of these wild beasts is larger than the Blue Planet itself. From this point of view... what Brother Wang has done is truly spectacular.
Speaking of this, Yu Cang was somewhat curious: "Xingchen... do you know how your brother did it? If it can be replicated, then it will be much easier for us to deal with Huang."
“…”
Upon hearing this, the princess's expression was very complicated.
He opened his mouth and tried to speak several times, but he stopped himself.
Finally, he just said: "What if... it wasn't done by my brother..."
"Probably not." Yu Cang rubbed his chin, "Remember the previous war between gods? I remember the God of Wilderness once said... he can enter Blue Star at any time, even with the 'Rules of the Star Gods', the 'Laws of the Kings', and the 'Gaze of the Creator', there is no way to stop him.
"I was actually a little confused at the time... but I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, I can probably guess the other two, and this 'king's law' is most likely referring to this national regulation.
"And near Blue Star, the only one who can use spirit particles, has the motivation and ability to stop the God of Wilderness, is probably your royal brother, right?"
Stardust: “…”
After a long silence, she finally sighed.
"Well...it should be my brother indeed." She had a complicated expression.
Yu Cang seemed to have noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong? You should be happy to have heard from your brother."
He promised the princess that she would help him find his brother.
Until today, this mission seemed far away, and there was not even a clue. Now, at least we can lock the target on the border of the Nightmare. Isn’t this something to be happy about?
"Happy...Yu Cang, you don't know what this means."
"What does it mean?"
"According to the description of Emperor Chang'an's myth, even my brother would never be able to do this at the mythical level."
"Then as long as he..." Yu Cang stopped talking suddenly.
He seemed to realize something.
Stardust lowered his head slightly, and his hair made of spirit particles rose up with the rhythmic fluctuations.
She continued, "There are only two possibilities in this situation..."
There was a moment of silence in the air.
At this time, La appeared beside her and spoke for the princess:
"First, he has been completely transformed into a celestial body, but celestial bodies don't have their own will, nor can they spread national regulations to every corner of the border country. Therefore, the second possibility is more likely -
"He relied on some mysterious 'quota' to ascend to the level of Transcendent Myth. However, even the Nameless Empire should only have one quota. Moreover, since the invasion of the wild beasts, the quota has been taken back piecemeal. The only one who may still have it is the Lord of the Empire.
"In other words, the old king of the Nameless Empire must have passed away. Xingchen's brother inherited the throne and also inherited the title of transcendent myth."
Now, Yu Cang knew why Xingchen was sad.
He remembered clearly that the emperor of the Nameless Empire was Xingchen's father.
"Sorry, Stardust, I didn't realize..."
"It's okay." Xingchen raised his head, a gentle smile on his face. "From the moment I realized I couldn't recall the name of the empire, I anticipated this outcome... I should be the one to apologize. We've been through so much together, and yet I'm still so hypocritical."
Yu Cang: "..."
Looking at the strong princess, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Along the way, Yu Cang's life became smoother and smoother. But the princess beside him was just the opposite.
Since waking up from the ruins, none of the news she heard was worth being happy about.
The disappearance of the empire, the deception of his brother, the death of his father...
Admittedly, after thousands of years, she might have been able to guess these things since she woke up, but guessing is one thing, and actually hearing the definite answer is another.
Finally, he could only sigh and pat the princess on the shoulder: "We are still here."
"Yeah." The smile on Xingchen's face became even brighter, and the spirit in her eyes flashed with light, as if she was crying.
In fact, there is another sentence that La did not mention, but Stardust did not say it either.
Because this possibility is... too creepy.
Why did the empire lose its name?
The only way she knew of to achieve this was... some kind of weapon from the last era.
Even the Empire does not yet have control over this kind of weapon.
However, this was on the surface - the princess did not know much about these military matters, and had never asked her father about such secrets.
However, given the Empire's level of spiritual power, it would be strange if it couldn't be controlled.
This technology may have quietly matured and even been used many times - anyway, the target will be forgotten after it is used, so others will naturally not know that you have used this weapon.
I can only say that this weapon that forcibly erases memory is too overbearing.
However, Stardust is certain that if this weapon is mature... then the people most likely to control its use will be his father and brother!
Then, at this time, there will be a very terrifying possibility.
How did my father... die?
Did he die in battle?
Or... die at the hands of my brother?
Xingchen couldn't help but bite his lower lip lightly, silent.
Ten thousand years ago, my brother’s departure was so decisive.
He was very sure that he could buy time for Blue Star to develop. His purpose was very clear, and it seemed that the means were also clear.
He knew from that time that his father would die in battle. Would he be able to ascend beyond the myth?
So, could it be that... my brother killed my father with his own hands and destroyed the empire?
How can this not make people think too much!
Originally, Xingchen would never have had such doubts about his brother, but the continuous news made him realize that in his brother's eyes, these emotions were just embellishments, and she or her father were far from important enough to his brother.
He can really do such a thing...
When Xingchen thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and felt afraid.
She couldn't imagine how she would feel when facing her brother if he really did that.
For some unknown reason, she began to fear the reunion with her brother.
By then, by then...
…
"...Xingchen, I will definitely go to the Nightmare Border later to help you find your brother." Yu Cang said firmly.
"don't want!"
Stardust shouted subconsciously, and then froze in place.
"No... I mean..."
Yu Cang was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Suddenly shouting very loudly.
On the side, La frowned, and then seemed to realize something and sighed softly.
"No...it's okay." Stardust took a few quick breaths and calmed himself down. "What I mean is...you have more important things to do right now. The Nightmare Border is still too dangerous. Let's just forget it."
"Well," Yu Cang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry, I will become stronger... One day, the Dire Frontier will be a place I can come to whenever I want. Until I become that strong, I will definitely not take any risks."
Stardust: “…”
Yu Cang smiled, revealing a very reliable smile: "I promised you, I will definitely do it."
Looking at Yu Cang's eyes, Xingchen's eyes fluctuated for a moment.
Then, he turned his head and said, "...Anyway, don't worry about this matter for now. And...oh, and, my brother doesn't have the protection of the Imperial Star, and the border country is full of wasteland. Logically speaking, my brother must have been infected...
"Although I don't know what happened there, in this situation, even if I find it, it might not help... So, Yu Cang, just focus on your own affairs."
"Don't worry, your brother will be fine." Yu Cang said, "Although I haven't met him, from your description, I know he wouldn't take risks like this. He must have ways to protect himself, don't worry."
"……well."
Looking at Yu Cang who insisted on comforting him, Xingchen was silent for a long time and then sighed.
However, he finally managed to smile faintly again.
Yu Cang...you shouldn't become like your brother...
