Chapter 721 Dinner
Pendulum Synchro is a combination of the two summoning methods. It inherits the characteristics of the two summoning methods and is slightly different.
Generally speaking, the materials for Synchro Summoning must be adjusted and non-adjusted, and the final summon is a certain future of the adjusted soul card.
However, in the Pendulum Synchronization, the two soul cards used as materials are all adjusted, which is a double star adjustment, and there is no non-adjustment.
At the same time, the inner star level of these two soul cards is the same. Although they can resonate, when the two exist at the two ends of the pendulum bridge, there is no interval between the pendulum scales. It is impossible to summon any soul card with normal pendulum summoning, and they can only be used for pendulum synchronization.
Other than that, there is no difference.
"However, I was able to comprehend this thanks to the time given to me by the myth of Emperor Chang'an," Gu Jieshuang said. "Besides, it was he who finally broke the Heavenly Demon Wheel... If I relied on myself alone, even with Pendulum Synchronization, there would be no chance of survival."
Even though what she said sounded quite mysterious, in fact, it was just a small tear.
Only the Demonic Wheel near the sword energy's trajectory was shattered, but how large was the range of this sword energy?
The Heavenly Demon Wheel covered the entire Netherworld, so the trajectory of that sword was almost negligible within that area. Furthermore, even if the sword energy did hit, it would not have caused any damage to the sac beast.
The sword summoned by Gu Jieshuang was only of a high-level heirloom quality after all, and the difference in magnitude was clearly evident.
In fact, the true strength of that sac beast should be even higher than level 22. The impact that Gu Jieshuang could have on it was very weak.
But having said that, Di Changan was able to break the Heavenly Demon Wheel so easily because of the hole that Gu Jieshuang had torn open.
Yu Cang nodded, and then asked, "Do you remember what abilities the sword you summoned had?"
"This... is a bit vague, but Emperor Shenhua promised to help me make it later."
After a pause, Gu Jieshuang continued, "However... my intuition tells me that, in fact, I don't need a very precise additional deck..."
Yu Cang paused.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Jieshuang, his eyes brightening slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Emm... I don't know how to describe it. If I have to say... In Synchro Summoning, the Extra Deck is the future you want to summon. So, the future doesn't need to be too accurate. There should be multiple possibilities..."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yu Cang's lips.
"Of course, Jie Shuang... You already have your own understanding."
"ah?"
"Then stick to your understanding and keep going." Yu Cang said, "The path to godhood through Synchro Summoning may depend on you."
"Eh? Me?" Gu Jieshuang pointed at herself. "Can I...?"
"Of course, believe in yourself."
Looking at Yu Cang's eyes, Gu Jieshuang's expression became serious.
She nodded heavily:
“I’ll try my best!”
Yu Cang smiled, then went back to the side and started washing the vegetables.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly said, "Oh right... After a while, I should leave Blue Star with Emperor Shenhua. This time... I won't take you with me."
Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang trembled.
Then, he nodded: "Okay... then boss, please be careful!"
Seeing her expression, Yu Cang knew what she was thinking.
So he said, "Don't think too much. I'm not taking you this time because I have a mission for you."
Gu Jieshuang's eyes brightened slightly: "What mission?"
Yu Cang looked at the water in front of him.
He said slowly: "Now, the path to godhood through summoning has been opened up. The rest depends on Old Ren... Grandpa's own exploration. He can perfect it. With this precedent, other summoning methods can also be put on the agenda.
"Relying on myself alone is too inefficient, so... Jie Shuang, I want you to find someone."
"who?"
"Ning Xingyi, Senior Ning." Yu Cang seemed to have planned this long ago. "Jie Shuang, your two soul cards prove that sword intent is very suitable for the path of pendulum summoning. Senior Ning was known as the strongest guardian of the country in his early years, the existence closest to myth. His sword intent cultivation has also reached the pinnacle, making him the most suitable person to follow this path.
"So, during this time, I'll ask you to go find Senior Ning and teach him how to summon his True Self and the various techniques of Pendulum Summoning. I'll talk to Grandpa Ren later, and have him share his insights into becoming a god with you once he's done so."
Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes wide: "I'm going to teach Senior Ning...this..."
"Don't underestimate yourself," Yu Cang said affirmatively, "You've definitely gone further on this path than Senior Ning. You're more than capable of teaching him."
After all, Ning Xingyi's path was quite extreme. He himself said at the beginning that although he was a guardian of the country, there were only five or even fewer soul cards in his deck, and he hardly used any of them in battle, relying entirely on sword intent.
Only when facing a mythical enemy will he use the mythical Emperor Wu's Sword.
This certainly made Ning Xingyi's sword intent more pure, but it also made him know very little about other schools. For example, Senior Ning must not have learned the summoning methods created by Yu Cang.
In fact, if Ren Zheng had not relied on his scholarly self to break through the myth and confirmed the possibility of becoming a god, Yu Cang estimated that even he would not be able to persuade Ning Xingyi to learn pendulum summoning.
In this case, Gu Jieshuang, who has already achieved something in it, is naturally qualified to be a teacher.
Hearing Yu Cang's words, Gu Jieshuang seemed to be encouraged.
She took a deep breath:
"Okay, I'll do my best!" She paused, then continued, "Also, I'll work hard to become stronger... If I'm already a legend, then, boss, I can help you, right?"
"...Strength is only part of it." Yu Cang's eyes fluctuated slightly.
It is undeniable that he did not bring Gu Jieshuang with him for safety reasons.
Roland Sky Realm is different from Blue Star.
That place is too dangerous.
It is not uncommon for a world to fall completely into desolation. The desolate heaven that was just destroyed today is one of them.
But although they were all infected by the wilderness, the degree of danger was also different. The strongest being in the Youhuang Heaven Realm was the mythical sac beast, but in the Roland Sky Realm... as one of the most advanced civilizations under the starry sky, once the "works" of that group of mages were infected into wilderness beasts, each one would be countless times more difficult to deal with than a sac beast.
What's more, there is the Council of the Olympians, whose enemies are unknown.
This time, Di Changan only planned to go with Yu Cang. If there were more people, even the mythical guardian of the country might become a burden.
Gu Jieshuang, I really can’t help you.
On the other hand, the path to godhood through pendulum summoning is indeed important.
After reaching level seven, Yu Cang must start thinking about which soul card he should choose to achieve "full connection".
From "The God's Presence", we can roughly see that the path to becoming a god must be related to the complete connection of soul cards.
His path to godhood must be based on the "King's Self" based on the six summoning methods. Therefore, the fully connected soul card, as the foundation, must also lay the groundwork for the six summoning methods.
Looking at his current main deck, there is actually no such soul card, and he still needs to wait for Yu Cang to create it.
In this case, he must have a general understanding of the six paths to becoming a god before he can create the corresponding soul card.
This is not something that Yu Cang can accomplish alone... he must seek help from others.
Obviously, Ning Xingyi is a good candidate.
Yu Cang has already thought about it.
The inner side is "instinct" and also "talent".
Sword intent is one of the ultimate expressions of the unity of instinct and talent.
Therefore, the inner surface has a natural adaptability with the sword intent, which can be seen from Gu Jieshuang's sword intent pendulum and the synchronization of the pendulum.
Gu Jieshuang's sword intent is only in its infancy. In the world today, the only one who possesses the complete sword intent is Ning Xingyi... The old man definitely has the possibility of becoming a god with the help of his true self!
Gu Jieshuang's synchronization has gone very far, and Ning Xingyi's pendulum will definitely be mastered quickly. Among the remaining five summoning methods, these two are the most promising summoning methods to see the road.
As for the rest... he still needed to find suitable candidates. Yu Cang planned to do it himself after returning from Roland Sky Realm.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang's expression suddenly changed.
The sound of conversation outside the kitchen had become much quieter at some point.
He shook his head and said immediately: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore... Let's cook first."
It seems that what he talked about scared the people outside.
…
Outside the kitchen
Yu Shuhong couldn't help but look at Mu Xuezhi.
Then he asked Ren Zheng:
"Xiao Cang...what are you doing now?"
Listening to the conversation in the kitchen, it's so scary.
Hearing Yu Shuhong's question, Ren Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"When you were away, Xiao Cang did a lot of things... I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly at once, but the burden on Xiao Cang's shoulders is very heavy... Shu Hong, Xue Zhi, the current Blue Star is about to usher in a new era, an era where myths will emerge in large numbers!
"And this era was opened up by Xiao Cang himself. As you can see, the reason I became a legend is also due to Xiao Cang's research. This is just one of the paths Xiao Cang discovered... And all of this is because Blue Planet is in imminent danger."
Yu Shuhong: “…”
He was silent for a long time.
Finally he sighed.
"I'm really... old." He shook his head. "I thought that my breakthrough to the Nation-Guarding Level in the Desolate Heaven Realm would make me a rare genius in the world, but I didn't expect that I would be outdated now."
Yes, during the more than five years they spent in the Desolate Heaven Realm, they were always in the company of wild beasts and had to disguise themselves in banquets full of monsters. This kind of pressure gave them the opportunity to break through, and they successfully broke through from the seventh-level Grandmaster to the eighth-level Guardian of the Nation!
They are very young for a country, and quite rare in history.
When the result came out... their child, Yu Cang, has already started studying how to become a legend stably?
If you don’t know, you might think they were missing for fifty years instead of five!
"Why are you sighing?" Mu Xuezhi held Yu Shuhong's hand and said with a smile, "You should be proud of our child."
"...That's right." Yu Shuhong smiled. "This is our child. Excellence is inevitable."
…
Not long after, a researcher drove to the card-making house and brought a lot of good wine.
The wine Ren Zheng brought was naturally extraordinary, and each bottle was a fine product that was simply not available on the market. Just by unscrewing the bottle cap, the mellow aroma of the wine filled the room.
Yu Cang also quickly brought the dishes to the table.
After all, it was late and time was limited, so we didn't prepare anything time-consuming. We just simply fried a few dishes, but even so, it was still very sumptuous.
Yu Shuhong was eating so much that tears were almost falling.
Five years! It’s been over five years since I’ve eaten my son’s cooking!
Do you know how they lived these past five years?!
How could there be anything edible in the wild beast's banquet hall... The cakes on the table had long since rotted away. If it weren't for the fact that high-level soul card masters were no longer so dependent on food, they might have starved to death right in front of the banquet table.
Now that I finally got to eat such delicious food, I naturally burst into tears.
And these tears are also filled with the joy of reunion after a long separation.
He has been wanting to cry for a long time, from this afternoon until now.
"Look at you." Ren Zheng raised his wine cup and said unhappily, "Don't embarrass yourself in front of the children."
"Teacher, you don't understand... The human world is so wonderful..."
“You, you…”
…
"Xiao Cang!"
Yu Shuhong suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
"I heard that you want to protect this world, right?"
Yu Cang, who was eating, paused, then nodded slightly.
"yes."
"Good! That's great!" Yu Shuhong raised his glass. "My child has grown up—I toast to you!"
He looked up and drank the cup.
"Just be brave and do it... and... and I will help you too. This time, we won't leave. We will always be by your side!"
Yu Cang's eyes flickered, with an inexplicable emotion in them.
For the first time ever, he also raised a glass of wine.
"Okay...it's a deal."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.
…
Yu Cang only drank one glass of wine.
He still hated drinking after all.
The spicy taste penetrated his mouth, went down, and rushed to his mind.
The wine tasted as bad as ever.
But he still tasted a hint of sweetness in today's wine.
Was it because it was good wine? Or was it because of his mentality... Yu Cang didn't know.
Anyway, he still likes it.
And... even Mu Xuezhi, who never drinks, picked up the wine glass today.
For Zhenguo, it is actually possible to use soul energy to quickly decompose alcohol, but Yu Shuhong and others did not do so.
They toasted each other, laughed and talked happily, and soon they were both drunk and slumped over the table.
Ren Zheng, on the other hand, only had his cheeks slightly flushed, but he was still awake.
For mythology, even without using soul energy to decompose alcohol, it is almost impossible to get drunk.
At least, these ordinary wines are not enough.
"Xiao Cang."
Ren Zheng looked at Yu Shuhong who fell asleep on the table.
"Remember...come back safely."
Yu Cang nodded.
"Yes."
