Chapter 733: The six desires arise when the name is given
After looking at these six soul cards, Yu Cang sighed.
Even if it is divided into six parts, has the strength of each part reached level 30? Huang Shen, you guy...
This kind of strength is really terrifying.
The [Desolate God's Command] of these six soul cards clearly came from the Desolate God's own abilities. Spread across the six soul cards, they were already very powerful. If they were all concentrated into one entity...
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the God of Wilderness is, he has now become six soul cards.
Yu Cang withdrew his gaze from the six soul cards.
There was a moment of silence.
"Is the God of Wilderness dead?" he asked.
As expected, Di Changan shook his head: "I don't know, but it should be no."
Yes, even though his body had been cut into soul cards, Di Changan still didn't dare to conclude that the God of Wilderness was dead.
He pointed at the card of "Duke Yanguo, Chief Sinner" and said, "There's still some consciousness remaining on this soul card. Although it's now suppressed by the power of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, I can't guarantee there won't be a risk of it losing control."
Yu Cang nodded: "Then... which guardian of the country do you plan to give these six soul cards to?"
This time, Di Changan remained silent.
After a long while, he said, "In the short term, unless absolutely necessary, I don't plan to use this set of Soul Cards. I'm very worried that using them rashly might lead to the resurrection of the Wild God, and..."
There is no doubt that the strength of these six soul cards is quite powerful.
There are only eleven mythical soul cards in the hands of the Yan State Association, including the Emperor's Seal. Even so, it is enough to support the unparalleled national strength of the Yan State.
If these six soul cards were added, Di Changan couldn't even imagine how powerful Yan Kingdom would be.
However, the risks involved in these six soul cards are still too great. There is no place that urgently needs mythical soul cards now, so Di Changan did not choose to take the risk.
and……
"These six Soul Cards don't belong to the Association. They're yours, Yu Cang," Di Chang'an said. "You'll have the final say on where they go. My advice is, don't give them to anyone else. Wait until you ascend to Mythic status and use them yourself."
Emperor Chang'an doesn't believe in anyone regarding this Wild God Set. The only recognized holder is Yu Cang after he became a god.
After all, even if we put aside the factor of the God of Desolation, these soul cards are still related to the Desolate Soul Energy, which only Yu Cang has studied.
Hearing this, Yu Cang blinked: "Me?"
"Yes." Di Chang'an nodded, "I will seal them in a secret world. Only you, after you become a god, can open the seal."
Yu Cang: "...Okay."
He didn't really care who owned the Wild God Set.
After all, he can't use these soul cards now, but when he is promoted to a myth, he may have better options.
But Di Changan's concerns are indeed reasonable... After completely summoning the God of Wilderness, it is very likely that he will clash with the will of the God of Wilderness. In this regard, Yu Cang only trusts himself who possesses the heart of an emperor.
Seeing Yu Cang's agreement, Di Chang'an collected the soul cards.
Then, he looked at the little dragon on Yu Cang's head.
It was Chao Ci - she had been lying on Cang's head since she entered the door.
Although he looked like he was taking a nap, his little ears were actually perked up, eavesdropping on the conversation between Di Changan and Yu Cang.
Di Changan certainly knew what the Creator cared about.
He took a moment to organize his words, and then said, "Ms. Chaoci—I have to apologize to you."
Yu Cang could clearly feel Chao Ci's body trembling slightly above his head.
Chao Ci opened his eyes and looked at Di Changan: "Go on."
"...When we entered the God-Wounded Desolate Land and besieged the God of Desolation, Nian also appeared... He was controlled by the God of Desolation and joined the battlefield. I'm sorry, but in that kind of battle, we couldn't hold back."
Chao Ci's eyes kept flashing, and the light in them dimmed for a moment.
"Now, where is he?"
"Come with me."
Di Changan stood up and took Yu Cang to the backyard.
The backyard's scenery is very exquisite, with rockery, pavilions, green plants and lakes. Under the designer's careful design, the scenery you see is different with every step you take.
Di Chang'an came to the lake, raised his hand, and threw a soul card into the water.
Suddenly, a layer of ripples spread out on the water surface, and the originally clear water gradually condensed, as if it had turned into a mirror, but what was reflected in it was not the blue sky, but another world.
A thin mist also began to rise over the lake.
Obviously, this small lake has become the entrance to a mysterious world.
Di Chang'an stepped in, and within a few steps, his figure disappeared into the mist. Yu Cang followed closely behind him, and it seemed that the light and shadow before his eyes changed in an instant. When he walked out of the mist again, he had arrived in a new world.
Here... is a green field.
The terrain is mostly flat, with only occasional ups and downs. As far as the eye can see, the emerald green grass stretches endlessly.
A wind from an unknown source blew gently, creating layers of waves on the grassland.
Aside from the low hills and green grass, there were only some jagged rocks lying on the ground. Yu Cang sensed a strange aura among them. Those rocks must be some wild beasts with a very low level of infection.
After looking around, Yu Cang's gaze stopped at the huge monster in front of him.
Without him saying anything, Yu Cang had already seen the Nian - or rather, the wild crystal of the Nian.
This was definitely the largest wild crystal Yu Cang had ever seen. It was nearly a thousand meters high and was placed in the middle of several low hills. It looked like a mountain.
Chao Ci was silent for a moment, then flew up gently and landed at the foot of the "mountain".
She pressed her forehead against the surface of the wild crystal, saying nothing and falling into silence.
Di Chang'an and Yu Cang didn't interrupt him untimely, but simply stood aside, each in silence. For a moment, the only sound on the grassland was the gentle wind, blowing through the layers of grass.
…
Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the mountain.
There seemed to be some kind of reflection faintly in the turbid crystal - but that was definitely no longer the figure of the God of Wilderness. The figure looked more slender, like a beast... Perhaps, it was the reflection of Nian?
Speaking of which, what is the wild crystal... Why, when you become a wild beast, will such crystals appear in your body?
Yu Cang was silent, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
Even Stardust couldn't give him an answer to this question.
La once discussed the issue of the Desolate Crystal with Yu Cang, but it seemed that... even the Nameless Empire could not determine the nature of the Desolate Crystal. Their academic community had several theories, and after arguing for who knows how many years, they were ultimately unable to determine the nature of the Desolate Crystal.
All we know is that the mainstream view is that the Wild Crystal is made up of the "good" part of an existence and a large amount of mental power that has been infinitely compressed. The lack of this part has brought about an imbalance, so the Wild Beast is as chaotic as it appears.
However, this statement is still too one-sided. An existence cannot be simply divided into good and evil. What's more, La himself said... Huang can even infect AI that theoretically has no good or evil. This theory is untenable.
A theory that is untenable can be called mainstream, which shows how rare the research on desertification is.
This is normal. After all, the wilderness is omnipresent. Even the scientists of the Nameless Empire would probably turn into wild beasts if they came into close contact with the wilderness, leaving no room for research at all.
But... the idea behind this statement is correct.
The wild crystal must be a compressed part of the infected person!
What was it… emotion? Wisdom? Thought? But judging from everything Yu Cang had seen and heard along the way, none of them seemed to fit the bill.
...Perhaps, there is no such clear division.
The wisdom of living things is complex. Even if it is wild, I am afraid there is no way to cut out a clearly defined part from the wisdom of living things.
Therefore, the wild crystal might just be a collection of an undefined mixture, and the chaotic behavior of the wild beast was just because it was crazy.
“…”
Yu Cang's mind was wandering, and he remembered something else.
It seems... once upon a time, the God of Wilderness called this Wilderness Crystal "food".
Does the God of Wilderness need to eat? Or rather, does "Wild" need to eat?
Yu Cang's eyes fluctuated slightly.
Emperor Star and Huang have been fighting for several epochs, and Emperor Star has basically been confirmed to be a celestial body... but Huang cannot find a definite shape.
Previously, Yu Cang and Xingchen speculated that Huang might be the self-cleaning mechanism of the star realm itself - after all, Xingchen discovered that the pollution that caused the distortion of celestial bodies seemed to have the same origin as Huang.
But there is no empirical evidence for this.
There is no celestial body named "Huang" in the universe, but what if... it just hasn't been discovered?
If the God of Wilderness feeds on "Wilderness Crystal", then would the same be true for the God of Wilderness who created him?
If this is the case, then this strange infection that spreads throughout the star realm can be defined as a "foraging" and a "hunting", and this star realm is precisely Huang's hunting ground.
The prey captured by Huang will turn into easy-to-eat food such as "Huang Crystal" and eventually fall into Huang's stomach.
…
Yu Cang's eyes gradually drifted away.
That's bullshit.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
However, compared to the previous situation where they had to fight against the speculation of the entire star realm, Yu Cang would rather accept this truth.
At least, there is a real opponent for them to fight against.
Yu Cang was silent for a moment, then sighed.
When he came to his senses, he found that the shadow in the desolate crystal seemed to be closer.
Just like a giant whale slowly rising from the deep sea, Yu Cang is a tourist sitting on the boat looking down. He can only see a thick shadow. He cannot estimate the distance it has reached the sea surface, nor can he see its full picture.
The shadow seemed to be getting closer, but it was still unclear. He seemed to have lowered his head, pressing it close to Chao Ci's head. He seemed to be speaking, but it was all just an illusion. Yu Cang could not hear a single sound, nor could he see any details.
But he saw a tear falling from the corner of Chao Ci's eye.
Soul cards, in theory, have no tears.
Yu Cang stood there for a long time, and then he couldn't help but walk forward.
However, just as he approached and had not yet figured out how to comfort Chao Ci, she spoke first.
"Yu Cang, Nian is still alive."
“…”
"I'm very sure that this isn't my illusion—even though I can't hear or see, he's definitely right in front of me..."
Yu Cang was silent.
He remembered what Chao Ci had mentioned to him before.
Nian has the ability of [chronological change], and it has three forms, namely: Yao Year - Auspicious Year - Disastrous Year. After each death, it will be revived in the next form, and this cycle will continue endlessly.
If it were not for the famine, Nian could be considered immortal.
And during that divine descent, when Nian was summoned by the God of Desolation, he only manifested two types: the Ferocious Year and the Auspicious Year that was infected and turned into the Desolate Year. Combined with the previous speculation, could it be that... because of Nian's own peculiarities, the Desolate Year compressed into Desolate Crystal by the Desolate, and not a mixture like others...
But is it a complete "Yao Year"?
Yu Cang thought for a moment.
It seems that this possibility does exist... If it is true, then based on this, we may be able to try to revive Nian!
Just like, just like...
Yu Cang suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.
Banning cards to make them harmless?
As discussed with Tai Hina before, by summoning the "inner side" of the banned card, can the raw materials of the banned card be resurrected?
Yu Cang raised his brows slightly.
However, before he could say anything, Chao Ci spoke again:
"How strange..."
She was stunned and stretched out her claws to touch the tears rolling down her cheeks.
The material of the teardrops comes from the simulation of rhythm, but the emotions are real.
Buzz...
Layers of aurora rose from Chao Ci's body, and she changed her form in the light and became a human.
The aurora fell, solidified into silk, and draped over her body.
She raised her head and looked at the wild crystal - the shadow in it seemed to be looking at her as well.
"Yu Cang, I've never felt such emotions before—is this what you gave me?"
"Hmm?" Yu Cang was stunned. "What emotion?"
"have no idea."
“…”
Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on Chao Ci's lips.
She stretched out her hand and touched the wild crystal with her fingertips, and then her entire palm.
"Nian, you know what? I have a name now—my name is Chao Ci. Doesn't it sound nice?"
No sound could be heard from the wild crystal, but the shadow within it seemed to be getting closer.
"This is my new look...can you see it?"
The shadow seemed to be getting closer, but still far away.
The wind blew slowly, blowing Chao Ci's hair. In the end, she still didn't hear Nian's response.
"...Yu Cang."
"I am here."
"Kill him."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Wait... why?"
He suddenly looked at Chao Ci, only to find that tears were flowing uncontrollably from her seemingly broken eyes.
"Why?"
"...He told me." Chao Ci stood there in a daze, "The second Wild God is about to be born... He doesn't want his body to become a dirty seedbed."
Yu Cang: "..."
"Yu Cang, what on earth is this emotion... Why, I've said goodbye to so many people and experienced countless farewells, but why, only this time..."
Chao Ci's voice suddenly trembled. She bit her lips lightly and slowly closed her eyes.
Her body trembled slightly for a long time.
"Only this time, I...will be so reluctant? I, I...I don't want to..."
Yu Cang was silent.
He placed his hand gently on Chao Ci's head.
The next second, the Creator buried his face in her chest, and a series of suppressed sobs came out.
…
Yes, why.
Yu Cang gently stroked Chao Ci's head.
Why would an indifferent God shed tears for a child?
Is it because... he gave the Creator a name?
