Chapter 792 Sky Island
The World Championship has finally begun.
The Divine Relic Arena is located in the center of the ocean.
There, the corpse of a god, embracing the portal to the astral plane, fell asleep in the deep sea.
This place, far away from all the land on the blue planet, was once the most distant place from human beings in the world.
Of course, the situation is different now... Hundreds of years ago, Tiandao flew into the sky and established a country under the starry sky. The airspace where its territory lingered... was near the Divine Remains Arena.
Tiandao’s ambition is obvious.
It is necessary to rely on the advantage of distance to study the God's Remains Arena before everyone else and find the path to the Star Realm.
In fact, this has been done before... Everyone knows that behind the Divine Skeleton Arena is the boundless starry sky, which contains countless high-level rhythms. Even those young card makers who stay there for a while will have their talents affected by the energy of the starry sky and evolve.
Therefore, there shouldn’t be too many countries and organizations coveting this place.
Since ancient times, countless people have tried to take over the Divine Skeleton Arena, but they all failed.
Even the mighty myths could do nothing to this corpse that was once a god... Those who tried to seize it by force all met a miserable end.
Previously, two myths joined forces and tried to break the corpse of the god through offensive means, but they were submerged in an endless storm of natural disasters, which directly led to a country losing its mythological power and eventually perishing.
Logically speaking, for Myth, ordinary natural disasters on Blue Star are nothing to be afraid of, but obviously, the situation near the God's Remains Arena is not very common.
Such things happened a lot...So, even if it is a myth, we have to admit that the giant was indeed a "god" when he was alive.
In fact, there are many powerful people who have the ability to open up a piece of land around the Divine Remains Arena, but doing so has little effect.
First of all, natural disasters occur frequently near the God's Remains Arena. Although natural disasters that can kill myths are not common, there is no soil for civilization to thrive in such an environment.
Secondly, even if you really settled nearby, the Divine Corpse Arena would not treat you preferentially. You could only enter according to the rules of the Divine Corpse when it wanted to surface.
They might even be targeted during the World Championship because they are contaminated by the aura of nearby natural disasters.
Yes, even though God is dead, His corpse still has some kind of thinking and acts according to certain rules. Only with His permission can one go to the astral realm... and there is only one way to gain recognition, and that is to become the world champion.
But Tiandao was indeed an accident.
I don’t know what method they used, but they can actually get close to the God’s Skeleton Arena openly for quite a lot of time throughout the year. Not only will they not be affected by natural disasters, but it will not affect the subsequent World Championships!
And during the rare dangerous times when there is no way to get close, you only need to drive the island away from a certain range... This is not difficult for Tiandao.
Because of this reason, although Tiandao has only been established for a few hundred years, it has already become a famous country on the blue planet.
Rumor has it that because of this convenience, they gained some knowledge from the star realm, and their strength grew wildly. Now it is very likely that they have surpassed Yan Country and become the most powerful country on Blue Star!
There are also rumors that Tiandao has more than just one myth in the open, and the mythical power in the dark can even form a team...
This rumor is a bit outrageous. After all, myths are not easy to come by. Moreover, given the character of the people of Tiandao, if they really had such powerful chips and confidence, they would definitely not be satisfied with just staying in a corner. Maybe they have already begun to dominate and reap the world.
But no matter what, it is a fact that Tiandao is close to the Divine Skeleton Arena and has the ability to glimpse the truth of the astral realm.
Therefore, over the past few hundred years, countless card makers have gone to Tiandao to study, making this country in the sky the "center of the world".
Unconsciously, this place has become synonymous with advancement and technology.
Moreover, due to such favorable geographical conditions, every time the World Championship starts, this place will become the base for each team to rest and recuperate.
After all, the Divine Corpse Arena is isolated overseas and there is no landing nearby. Normally, one must wait until the divine corpse is fully risen before landing on the divine body. Now, they can come to Tiandao in advance and make some adjustments.
…
"This is Tiandao."
Gu Jieshuang walked onto the street with a somewhat cold expression, but her curious eyes were already looking around.
"It looks... not as prosperous as I imagined."
In my impression, Tiandao should have a sci-fi style.
But after actually coming here... at least from what she saw now, it seemed to be on par with the cities of Yan Country.
Moreover, it looked even dirtier and older... She was currently in the city center, but garbage could still be seen everywhere on the streets, and the infrastructure was incredibly old.
This made Gu Jieshuang somewhat disappointed.
Tiandao produced many famous science fiction films in the past, and before coming here, she was very eager to visit.
Now, the filter is broken cleanly.
"Tiandao is not like Yan Country."
A voice came from behind, and Ning Xingyi came behind Gu Jieshuang with his hands behind his back.
Although he looks like a young man now, he still acts like an old man.
It looks quite inconsistent.
"The Soul Card Master Association of Tiandao doesn't care much about people's livelihood. They're happy with the infrastructure, but they won't provide updates... It's just a makeshift team."
Like Yan Country, Tiandao is led by the Soul Card Master Association.
However, here, their top leaders obviously do not have the vision and cultivation of Di Chang'an. They govern the country based on a casual approach. For them, Tiandao is more like a tool to make money.
The wealth accumulated in this way is countless, and after so many years, no one knows what they did with this wealth.
"We can't take this lightly."
A voice came from the other side.
It was Ren Zheng.
He looked serious.
"With the Divine Relic Arena at its back, Sky Island has experienced rapid development in recent years... and their leaders have always coveted Yan Nation's land and resources. We must approach them with caution and not underestimate them."
Some time ago, the relationship between Tiandao and Yan Country deteriorated somewhat. Tiandao rejected most of Yan Country's applications for international students and raised tariffs to a rather abstract number. It seemed that Tiandao was planning to do something.
When facing opponents, Yan State always likes to consider the worst case scenario.
If all the wealth accumulated by Tiandao over the years were used to study the star realm, how powerful would it be... I dare not even think about it.
It can’t be that Commissioner Smith really took all the money, right?
Ning Xingyi nodded.
He had some limited contact with Tiandao in his early years, so he certainly agreed with what Ren Zheng said.
"After all, they are blessed with unique advantages that others cannot envy."
After Tiandao successfully stationed in the Shenhai Arena, other countries and organizations began to become active.
Xiangta, who had always been extremely confident, even tried to imitate it with the whole country's strength, but ended up in a very tragic way, with many national defenders dying at once.
Fortunately, Xiangta is a magical country. Although it was severely damaged, it made a smooth transition and no major changes occurred.
In the end, no second Tiandao was born.
The knowledge from the astral realm could only be enjoyed by Sky Island alone. The natural disaster that terrified everyone became a protective umbrella for Sky Island, helping it resist the covetousness of other forces.
At this moment, a smile quietly appeared on Ren Zheng's lips: "But we have Xiao Cang - from now on, there is no need to envy them anymore."
Although Yu Cang's rise has only been short, he has already produced quite exaggerated results.
The most intuitive thing is that now these two old guys have been promoted from national guardians to legends!
Now, the number of myths in Yan Country has reached an astonishing four, not counting Yu Cang himself.
Now, you guys on Tiandao better form a team, otherwise, you might suffer serious injuries.
Ning Xingyi nodded in agreement.
Yu Cang alone can make all card makers and all knowledge pale in comparison.
Listening to the two seniors chatting behind him, Gu Jieshuang scratched his head.
These two legends stood behind her, one on the left and one on the right. They followed her wherever she went. If you didn't know them, you would think they were her bodyguards.
There really wasn't a trace of mythical aura leaking out of them, and they looked no different from ordinary people. Now, few other countries on Blue Star knew about their promotion to myth. This time, they came to Tiandao only as "mythical guardians of the country."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
“…Gu Jieshuang.”
Gu Jieshuang looked back and saw a man with a calm face standing not far from her.
It’s Duan Feng.
The last time I saw Duan Feng was during the college league... At that time, Duan Feng was full of energy and ambition. Although he lost to Yaoqi in the semi-finals, he was still a prodigy who looked down upon the times.
But now, Duan Feng has become much more reserved.
He was dressed in a military uniform, standing straight, his eyes sharp but not ostentatious, and he exuded a concentrated aura.
After the college league, Duan Feng joined the army and went directly to the most dangerous Dire Border, fighting outside the border of Yan Country and growing in the process.
Gu Jieshuang had heard that Duan Feng in the Nightmare Border was a complete madman. In order to complete the mission, he would often do anything to achieve it. The death rate of the team he led was ridiculously high, but he himself always led the way.
Suddenly, Gu Jieshuang thought of what Duan Feng said when he knelt down and begged Yu Cang at the banquet that decided the fate of the Duan family.
"I will go to the border and fight to the death for Yan Country. I will never set foot on the border until I become a legend!"
This guy actually did it, and he looked incredibly ruthless.
He was completely determined to find his own path to godhood through battle.
At this moment, Duan Feng, from his temperament to his appearance, looked exactly like the "urban soldier king" in the novel.
He looked at Gu Jieshuang and said, "I heard that you have comprehended the sword intent."
"……Yes."
Duan Feng's eyes hardened slightly: "You are worthy of being the one who follows Yu Cang... I want to duel with you."
Gu Jieshuang: “…”
Looking at Duan Feng, who inexplicably wanted to fight, she was a little confused.
Why does it feel like... Duan Feng is jealous of me.
Well, it's probably an illusion.
However, a duel... I am already level seven. Could it be that Duan Feng is confident that he can defeat me by jumping one level higher?
Just when Gu Jieshuang was thinking.
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
"Yeah, it's really lively."
Ding ding, dang dang...
A sound of metal collision was wobbling closer. Gu Jieshuang turned around and saw a man coming up to them.
The man had dark brown skin and his face was painted with colorful oil paint. His long hair was hastily tied into several braids and hung behind him, with silver bells hanging on them.
It looks like a primitive tribal beauty.
Gu Jieshuang raised her eyebrows slightly, and then she knew who this person was.
Hunapu - a world competition participant from Tiandao.
Rumor has it that this guy got inspiration from some traditional witchcraft and can perceive rhythm more deeply through some special rituals. He is quite powerful.
Although... this guy is dressed like a primitive man, which is even more inconsistent with the impression of Tiandao!
Hunapu stopped with an inexplicable smile on his face. He looked at Duan Feng and Gu Jieshuang with moist eyes, stretched out his pointed and long tongue, and licked his lips.
"Among the young people of Yan Country, Yu Cang should be the strongest, right? Why hasn't he come... Is he scared?"
!
A word fell.
Duan Feng and Gu Jieshuang's eyes became sharp at the same time!
Gu Jieshuang frowned slightly, and a sound of sword seemed to ring out from her body. She drew her sword but did not strike, but the god-like power had subconsciously surged out and crushed Hu Napu!
Duan Feng even snorted coldly, and a torrent of dragon power emanated from his pupils, crashing into Hunapu's body like a wave!
Boom!
The two powers descended at the same time, and the smile on Hunapu's face suddenly froze. In the blink of an eye, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his back was soaked in an instant!
Tap, tap, plop!
He couldn't even stand steadily, staggered back two steps, and then fell to the ground with his buttocks.
“You, you guys…”
Hunapu stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
He didn't understand why these two people suddenly got so angry?
He just said two sentences! Why are you guys reacting so strongly?!
Even if you are not satisfied with his outfit, just say it directly!
Besides, it’s okay to get angry, it’s normal for young people to get angry, but your power... why is it so outrageous!
Aren't we all young people? How can you display such power without even using a Soul Card?
Young Hunapu didn't know that his words had hit two targets.
"Wait a minute... wait a minute! We can talk it over!" Hu Napu gritted his teeth, "I came here to see Ye Yan Shenhua... Something happened to the Xiangta team on their way here. They encountered a mythical beast and now they need support!"
Gu Jieshuang frowned slightly: "What happened?"
The power weakened slightly. Hunapu took a deep breath and said quickly, "This... This is the mythical Dick from the Elephant Tower... He fell in love with a wild beast and wanted to rape it, but he didn't expect that the beast already had a mate, and it was a mythical wild beast..."
Gu Jieshuang: “…”
People really smile when they are speechless.
Dick myth? Rape the wild beast?
It is worthy of being called the Elephant Tower.
