Chapter 558: Some conspiracy theories
Yes, that’s the truth.
Yu Cang reacted immediately.
La has mentioned before that the infection that causes celestial distortion has the same origin as Huang.
So, these celestial bodies also have "wild crystals"...which makes sense, right?
Well, it is reasonable.
But... I've tried it before, but the Phantom Crystal probably can't replace the Wild Crystal to store soul energy... and no mental stress can be detected in it.
What's going on...
Is it because the current ghost light crystals are all small and fragmented?
Yu Cang thought of the "crystal sea of glow" that he had seen at the border of the Nightmare before.
Buried deep underground, a large area of complete dim light crystals is exposed on the surface in large areas in some places, even forming a spectacle similar to the ocean.
This piece of glowing crystal exposed on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg, but it is still as vast as the ocean.
Such a large crystal of dim light seems to be in line with the wild crystal type that transcends mythology.
"Then." Yu Cang scratched his head, "Is this Phantom Light Crystal really useless?"
"...some insignificant little uses, probably far from what you imagine."
Well, how can luminous lighting not be considered a function?
Yu Cang sighed: "Okay."
La added, "There is indeed energy within the Phantom Crystals. However, this energy is difficult to harness. After all, these are the remnants of a power beyond myth. The twisted thoughts left behind by their lifetime prevent anyone from harnessing their power. This results in... the resources consumed in developing them far exceeding the potential rewards."
"Is that so... I understand."
That being said, it's really not worth it.
At this moment, Xingchen said, "It's not completely useless."
Ra's brows raised: "Oh?...What do you mean?"
Stardust explained, "This Phantom Crystal can actually be used as 'fuel' by the Star Armory. However, the Star Armory has many ways to replenish its energy, and Phantom Crystals aren't essential. But... my brother's 'artificial celestial body' can directly utilize Phantom Crystals."
Yu Cang nodded: "It's not possible to see the benefits in a short period of time..."
These two things are still a little far away from him.
However, since there is a possibility of exploitation, there must be some methods that have not been found... In that case, he will do it himself.
So, Yu Cang turned and asked, "Then, besides this? Is there anything else special about this so-called Star Cemetery?"
The princess and La looked at each other.
"As for a special place... well, aside from its archaeological value, it's nothing special. Judging from the current situation, the Star Cemetery has become a paradise for wild beasts, so its archaeological value is almost meaningless."
"What the hell... after all this time, it turns out to be useless." Yu Cang sighed, "But it's also an eye-opener. I didn't know there were places like this in the Star Realm."
"Um……"
"Then I'll go out first." Yu Cang said, "My deck hasn't been upgraded yet."
…
When his gaze returned to the real world, the starlight in Yu Cang's eyes quickly dimmed.
He stood up and stretched.
His current mentality seems to be a bit utilitarian.
If it were before, when he knew there was a place like the Cemetery of Stars, he would only find it interesting and plan to explore it someday to discover the relics of the previous era.
But now, all he could think about was whether this would be useful and whether it could provide some strength to fight against Huang.
There was no way, given the current situation, he had to keep pressing.
But then again, although La and Xingchen both said that there was nothing noteworthy in the Star Cemetery, Yu Cang still included this area in his heart on the list of areas that must be explored.
In itself, it is of great value to the archaeology of the last era.
The ancients' experience in combating famine is also worth learning.
What's more, some doubts came to his mind.
The blue star is Chao Ci's "egg", and the cemetery of stars is Chao Ci's cradle.
So...was it really a coincidence that Chao Ci was conceived in the Cemetery of Stars? Probably not.
Nutrition, concealment, environment...all factors are suitable, so suitable that it seems as if this "egg" was placed here intentionally by someone.
After all, La said that the Cemetery of Stars does not have the conditions for the birth of life. Although I don’t know the basis of this conclusion, it can be inferred that Chao Ci was not naturally born in the Cemetery of Stars.
Chao Ci has existed for billions of years. This age is not old for the entire star realm, but it is not young either. Even if he had some doubts before, he only thought that Chao Ci was a product of this era. But now there are so many old things in the Cemetery of Stars, and it is possible that Chao Ci is also an old thing from an era ago.
Moreover, the doubts about Chao Ci are only one aspect.
On the other hand...why did Emperor Star choose Chaoci as the place of his fall?
The answer Xingchen once gave was that because Chao Ci was protected by the laws and could not be found by others, he had enough time to develop before Huang discovered this place.
But now it seems... the cemetery of stars is full of wild beasts, the desolate heaven has come across the stars, and the desolate god is eyeing the world from outside... Such a situation has nothing to do with "secret" in any way.
This is leaking like a sieve.
Putting aside the possibility that Emperor Star made a mistake and had no choice, then Blue Star must be special, and even Emperor Star must covet it.
If you think about it this way, it does make sense.
After all... Previously, Di Xing had almost admitted that he was using Blue Star to raise Gu.
But, this is a bit unclear.
The process is... the Emperor Star first disperses all its power to nurture civilization, then lets the people in the civilization kill and devour each other, and finally cultivates a forbidden card Gu King and a perfect body.
At that time, the Emperor Star may descend in this physical body.
However, during this whole process, the energy doesn't seem to have changed much.
Look at how those people in Miao capital raise Gu.
Put some carefully selected insects into a container and let them devour each other. In this process, add some processed natural treasures to increase the power of the adult insects.
In this way, only the most ferocious and powerful insects can survive and become the Gu King, while the others become nutrients.
During this process, the insects' energy is constantly increasing.
But what about Emperor Star? From the beginning to the end, there was only Emperor Star's energy. Reorganizing and combining it again seemed redundant... Why not put all this energy into one person from the beginning?
The star realm is so vast, there must be someone who can withstand it.
At that time, Yu Cang guessed that Di Xing was seriously injured and he actually had no choice.
But the princess's subsequent cursing refuted this point - if that's the case, just go to the Nameless Empire. They can call on the best resources in the starry sky. Whether you want to raise Gu or heal your wounds, there are ways.
As a result, the Emperor Star bumped into the Blue Star in the corner and started making purple clay without saying a word.
Ren Xingchen and Brother Wang searched half of the star realm but still couldn't get a last look at the God Star.
Then it is obvious that in the eyes of Emperor Star, the value of Blue Star is higher than that of the Nameless Empire!
In other words... Lan Xing, or Chao Ci himself, is the treasure thrown into the secret room!
When the final "King of Gu" is born, in addition to the original power of the Emperor Star, it must also have devoured Chao Ci's power, and those spiritual beasts, and even the creator himself, will inevitably become nutrients.
If Chao Ci was thrown into the Star Cemetery by some existence from the last era, then it would make sense... Emperor Xing was also from the last era, and he must have known some inside story, so he resolutely chose this place.
Yu Cang felt that this inference might be a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it should be very close to the truth.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang pondered for a moment, and immediately summoned Chao Ci from the place where he descended the chariot - he decided to ask Chao Ci a question.
There was no evidence, and Di Xing had no desire to communicate, so he had no way to verify or explore this speculation.
If only I knew what Emperor Star was coveting.
According to Chao Ci's previous description, Emperor Xing came here ten thousand years ago. If he had not been seriously injured, Chao Ci would not have been able to withstand the dominance of Emperor Xing.
This sounds reasonable, but it is not.
Both Stardust and La had the same opinion about Emperor Star - its authority could control all forces in the star realm without any exception.
Even if he was seriously injured, he should not have lost his authority. Moreover, at that time, Chao Ci was just a myth and his strength was not enough in front of Emperor Xing.
There must be something on Blue Star that is beyond the control of Emperor Star, so that Emperor Star cannot directly plunder it through power, but has to "absorb" it bit by bit through the method of raising insects.
This thing...must be found.
Now, the Emperor Star has changed from a friendly party to a friend or foe, so we must take the necessary precautions.
Before, I was powerless and unable to defend myself, but now that I see something that may be effective on the Imperial Star, I must get it.
…
"What?" Chao Ci opened his eyes wide, "Is this true?"
"It's just a guess," Yu Cang said. "So, think about it, is there anything special about Blue Star being your eggshell?"
"Even if you say so, I will..." Chao Ci frowned.
What Yu Cang said was a bit too much of a subversion of her cognition.
Even when she listened to Yu Cang talking about those conspiracy theories, she subconsciously refused to believe them.
Since she was born, she has had a very clear understanding of herself.
Born and raised by nature, she is extraordinary. As long as she grows, she can become stronger without limit. She holds back only out of pity for the human world.
She never called herself a god, because the word "god" was not enough to describe her person.
Well... although not expressed, these ideas naturally exist in Chao Ci's mind.
Now, Yu Cang wants to tell himself that he actually has a "creator". Is he a cub placed in the cemetery of stars by some existence, waiting to be hatched here?
This is so unclassy! It doesn't match the style of her creator at all!
Chao Ci frowned and was about to refute, but seeing Yu Cang's serious expression, he didn't rush to say anything.
Yu Cang's judgment should not be groundless.
Out of trust in Cang, Chao Ci did not reveal his discomfort for the time being, but followed Yu Cang's thoughts and thought carefully.
“…I have no impression.”
"Think again, when you met Emperor Star ten thousand years ago, what force helped you break free from the dominating authority?"
"Who would remember such a trivial matter so clearly?" Chao Ci said with a hint of impatience. "Isn't it natural to reject uneducated control?"
She really has no impression, and is really annoyed now.
Moreover, when she realized that she was upset, she became even more upset - if it was before she came down from Feng Yuecang's room, even if she knew these things, she would not feel the slightest bit of emotion in her heart.
Her mentality has remained calm for billions of years, and she can truly be called the Creator.
But after becoming a mortal spirit as "Chao Ci", she gradually began to have these annoying emotions and was affected by them.
"Chao Ci, don't be angry."
Seeing Chao Ci like this, Yu Cang lowered his voice.
"If I have offended you, I apologize. But now, I must consider every possibility as much as possible."
"...I know, Yu Cang."
Chao Ci turned around twice on the bed.
“But I really don’t have any impression.”
Those who are angry about the incident don't even use the term "Gu" or "Ru" anymore.
I wanted to refute, but I didn't want to get angry at Yu Cang.
Seeing this, Yu Cang smiled helplessly, then grabbed Chao Ci and held her in his arms, carefully touching her little head.
"Okay, don't be angry." Yu Cang said, "I'm just guessing."
“…Hmph.” Chao Ci softened slightly.
"Chao Ci, if this speculation is true, then you might be even more powerful."
After all, things that are born and raised naturally must also be under the control of the Emperor Star.
Surpassing mythology is just a more useful power in the eyes of Emperor Star.
The fact that Chao Ci was able to get rid of it meant that her background was more complicated. Maybe it was something of the same level or even higher than Di Xing. If Di Xing wanted to truly fight against Huang, he would have to seek help from Chao Ci.
"...Regardless of whether it's a big deal or not, do you think it's humorous to find a creator for Lonely?"
Hearing this, Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Is this what you care about most?
He could only say: "It's all speculation, speculation..."
"……alright."
After staying in Yu Cang's arms for a while, Chao Ci suddenly stood up.
"Don't tell anyone else until this guess is confirmed."
"Of course, I didn't tell anyone even though La and Xingchen were there."
"You're smart... I'll help you think it over. It'll take some time to sort out your memories."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Chao Ci. Thank you very much."
"Hmph, don't think a few words of thanks will make me ignore your offense. I'll remember this. If your suspicions are proven wrong in the future, I'll hold you accountable."
"Of course, I will accept whatever you want to do when the time comes." Yu Cang agreed quickly.
After saying that, Chao Ci snorted coldly again, rubbed against Yu Cang's arms inconspicuously, then turned around and went into the place where the chariot was lowered.
