Chapter 668: The Unknown Path to Godhood
Yu Cang already had a rough idea of the path to becoming a god.
The "I" in the Lingsui panel should refer to the scholar's self after the reincarnation link, which is the key to ascending to the myth.
Although I don’t know the name of this “I” yet, I will temporarily name it “my past self”.
From the current perspective, if his guess is correct, the condition for summoning my past self should be to rediscover it after completely forgetting it.
As for how to achieve this process... there should not be a single one. Every country guardian who wants to break through the myth should have his own ideas and understanding.
When the Soul Card Master completes this process, he will possess an indelible "core" in the second level of the Starry Sky Vision. As for what kind of power this core has... it is still unknown.
But what can be imagined is that when "forgetfulness" is overcome, there should be very few things in the world that can directly kill this soul card master.
And Ling Sui...his current state is different from this way of becoming a god.
Although he had studied reincarnation for a long time, he actually broke through the myth through ordinary means... It can only be said that his research on reincarnation made his deification easier and more unique, but it was still a method based on supernatural powers, which was essentially the same as Changsheng, Di Changan and others.
Ling Sui's reincarnation technique has already touched the edge of his "past self". If there had been Starry Sky Vision, he would have created the Link Summoning technique thousands of years earlier.
Now, although Lingsui's reincarnation failed, it caused some unexpected changes in Lou Yan thousands of years later.
Ling Sui meets the condition of complete oblivion... and his method of achieving it is even more demanding.
During these thousands of years, the story of "Lingsui" was completely tampered with. In the records handed down, Lingsui became a devout believer in immortality.
This is probably because the descendants of Ling Sui manually tampered with the historical materials in order to rule the Changsheng Camp under the banner of Changsheng.
It is precisely because of this that the original Changsheng has been forgotten by the entire world. Over the past thousands of years, the traces he left in the world have gradually disappeared. In today's world, except for Mara, no one remembers what the real Lingsui was like.
He was completely forgotten not only by himself but also by the world.
If we look at it from Yu Cang's perspective, it doesn't have to be so complicated to exile oneself to the second level, but Ling Sui does not have Yu Cang's conditions after all, so only in this way can the prerequisite of being "completely forgotten" be met.
Normally speaking, under such circumstances, he no longer had the chance to return to the real world. Although Yu Cang helped him, even so, he could no longer return as a normal person.
But because of this, Lou Yan, without doing anything, has already created a "completely forgotten" version of himself.
Lou Yan can pretend that Ling Sui is his past self and summon him to become a "false god".
Therefore, Lingsui appeared after the summoning of "my past self" failed... because in fact Lou Yan was not satisfied with the accumulation of experience to become a god.
Although the summoned Ling Sui was a myth, he actually did not have the power of a myth. He was able to suppress the unrest in the Changsheng Tent just now with the help of the authority of the Buddhist Kingdom.
His second ability, [The Forgotten], allows Ling Sui to use his old deck, but the soul cards in the deck will be affected by Lou Yan's own strength.
Those soul cards that were originally handed down from generation to generation or even mythical will become first-level trash when used in the hands of Ling Sui now. Some of them have complex rhythms and cannot be simplified to the first level, so don't even think about activating them.
Now, Lingsui's combat effectiveness is entirely supported by the authority recorded on the [Unknown Sea].
Although Ling Sui's panel data has reached the standard of mythology, if he only relies on close combat... he may not even be able to defeat the super-level legendary.
But even so, Lou Yan's success in summoning the myth with his newly awakened strength can be said to be unprecedented.
There has been no one before, and there may not be anyone after.
As for the method of summoning my past self...
…
Bang, bang
Yu Cang knocked on Qiu Jindong's door.
squeak--
The door opened and a smile appeared on Qiu Jindong's face.
"Yu Cang? It's getting late. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Although Qiu Jindong had a smile on his face, he still couldn't hide the deep fatigue in his eyes.
After this day's battle, Qiu Jindong seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.
His hair has turned completely white and there are more wrinkles on his face, but when he smiles, all the wrinkles are visible.
His "Sky Tomb King Sword" was cut off by the banned card... and was completely shattered.
Because of his previous forced link, this is irreparable damage.
This card is his fully connected soul card and is very closely related to him. Once it is broken, he will be implicated.
His status as a guardian of the country prevented him from dying suddenly, but his combat power would definitely be greatly reduced afterwards, and he might not even be able to recover to his peak strength until his death.
He knew the consequences in his heart, and although he felt a little regretful, he did not regret it.
This time I came to Changsheng Tent, I was involved in a big event.
So many myths were involved, and he, a national guardian, was lucky to have only suffered such an injury.
Qiu Jindong's strength has reached the top of the country, and he knows clearly that with his talent, it is impossible for him to become a legend.
Strength is meant to be used. Instead of maintaining peak strength until death, it is better to use it in such an epic battle.
Facing five national-level card-banning masters alone, this record is not shameful to tell others... It is enough to brag to the younger generations later.
Moreover, the results they achieved were brilliant!
Not only did he achieve all the predetermined goals, but he also established a very close relationship with the two myths!
Changshengzhang, this country, can be regarded as the back garden of Yan State.
Although Yu Cang completed almost all the key points of this battle, it did not prevent him from feeling satisfied with it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jindong looked at Yu Cang, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
Yan Country is so lucky to have Yu Cang.
Throughout history, it is a unique achievement for a sixth-level soul card master to personally conquer a country.
Even if it is written into history books, future generations may not dare to believe it!
"Qiu Zhenguo...how are you injured?" Yu Cang said.
Ah, despite having achieved such success, this young man is not at all arrogant and is still so polite.
Any old man in Yan Country would love such a young man.
"Yu Cang, come in quickly."
Qiu Jindong let Yu Cang into the room.
"Don't worry, they're just five kingdom guardians. They're not enough to cause me any serious injuries."
Autumn is approaching winter and the energy is so strong that it seems to be true.
"...Thank you for your hard work."
"It's all my job, why are you being so polite to me... To be honest, what I did is nothing compared to what you did."
"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to succeed."
"Hahahaha...Okay, no need to say any more polite words. You came to see me, there must be something, right? Just tell me, I will definitely help you get it done."
"I can't hide it from you—it's nothing important, just a trivial matter. You should know about the Starry Sky Vision, right?"
"Of course I know."
"Let's go and talk there."
…
Yu Cang opened his eyes in the Starry Sky Vision and saw the Rhythm Body which was already approaching autumn and winter.
This guardian of the country was also not slow in developing his starry sky vision, and half of his rhythmic body had already condensed.
Seeing this, Yu Cang nodded secretly.
I believe that it won’t be long before this guardian of the country will have a complete rhythmic body - this condition has been met.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand, and his fingertips rippled rhythmically. The rhythmic sounds spread everywhere, causing tides in the starry sky field of vision.
Buzz!
In the dark, it seemed that something was being drawn from the depths of the rhythm and heading towards Yu Cang's fingertips!
However, there was also a vague but powerful force preventing that thing from coming out.
Seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Qiu Jindong's eyes, but soon he realized something and opened his eyes as wide as possible.
"That is..."
"Yes, it's your 'Seventh Realm Abyss - Heavenly Tomb King Sword'."
Light flickered in Yu Cang's rhythmic body.
This soul card is completely broken. Normally, it cannot be recovered, but this is the Starry Sky Vision!
From his perspective, the completely shattered Sky Tomb King Sword was merely exiled to the second floor!
It has a place in the world's past.
If Yu Cang wanted to, he could get the Heavenly Tomb King Sword to the first level... However, because of the existence of the correction force, he also had to name it again like he did with the Forgotten Beast.
By that time, the sword would no longer belong to Qiu Jindong, but to Yu Cang.
"Qiu Zhenguo."
Yu Cang brought the rhythm of the King's Sword to a point where Qiu Jindong could sense it and then stopped, without actually bringing it to the first level.
"Try to call his name and see if you can pull him out."
“This, this…”
Qiu Jindong had no idea what this scene meant, but he still followed Yu Cang's instructions and spoke softly:
"Seventh Realm Abyss - Heavenly Tomb King Sword!"
…
The rhythm seemed to tremble for a moment, but it was still on the second floor and had not been summoned to the first floor.
Seeing this, Yu Cang frowned.
Although Qiu Jindong only tried it once, it seemed that he could already see that even if he tried a few more times, he would not be able to succeed.
Can't others save the Forgotten Beast just by naming it, just like I did?
Is this... a power unique to the Chosen Ones of the Emperor Star?
...Probably not.
Just now, when Qiu Jindong called out his name, the rhythm also showed signs of rising, but was stopped by the corrective force.
Perhaps, there is still a lack of opportunity, or the method is wrong.
After all, the power of the Soul Card Master originally came from the Emperor Star... If Yu Cang can do it, then it stands to reason that other Soul Card Masters should be able to possess similar power, but it may be much weaker.
While Yu Cang was thinking, Qiu Jindong hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but asked, "Yu Cang, what is this...?"
"...The second level of the Starry Sky Vision, the past of the world, your broken soul card also exists there."
"Then...you asked me to do this, is there still a chance to get it back?" A glimmer of hope rose in Qiu Jindong's heart.
"In theory, it's possible." Yu Cang nodded, "But it seems that there are still some conditions that have not been discovered."
"...I understand." Qiu Jindong's expression was serious. It was obvious that he had realized something. "This must be some kind of discovery of yours... Are you going to do any experiments? I will fully cooperate with you!"
Although Qiu Jindong had never witnessed Yu Cang's scientific research ability, he had heard of it a long time ago.
If it weren't for the association's certification, he would never have imagined that such an extremely luxurious achievement could have come from the hands of one person.
The one in front of me must also be a new type.
"...I guess so." Yu Cang took a deep breath and then smiled softly. "Qiu Zhenguo, there's no need to be so serious. The methods I just mentioned to recall Yunli from the second level are all I know... I don't know why, but it works for me, but not for you."
“…”
"It's not good to do something like this deliberately... Let's go back to the real world."
…
Returning his gaze to the present world, Yu Cang took out a blank soul card and a formation writing pen, wrote for a while, and then handed it to Qiu Jindong.
"This is……?"
"It's an 'anchor point'. If you use it to enter the Starry Sky Vision, you can sense the location of the King's Sword on the second floor."
This way of positioning the second and first layers relative to each other is naturally inspired by the reincarnation of the soul.
Then, Yu Cang took out another jade slip and handed it to Qiu Jindong.
"The Buddha Kingdom has given me some inspiration and allowed me to find some new possibilities...Qiu Zhenguo, if you have some free time in the future, you can try the method in the jade slip. If you succeed, perhaps your Heavenly Tomb King Sword can be restored."
What is recorded in this jade slip is exactly the content related to the reincarnation link and my past life.
In Yu Cang's opinion, Qiu Jindong's Heavenly Tomb King Sword meets the condition of being "completely forgotten". In other words, as long as Qiu Jindong can "recover it", then maybe he can find an opportunity to break through the myth.
However, Yu Cang did not tell Qiu Jindong that this was related to becoming a god - too many unnecessary expectations would only lead things further away from the right path.
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
Qiu Jindong nodded seriously and took the jade slip in his hand.
Although he didn't know whether this was related to becoming a god, even being able to get the King's Sword back was enough to surprise him.
"Yu Cang, don't worry. Regardless of whether I succeed in the end, I owe you this... If there's anything you need from me in the future, just tell me. I won't refuse, even if it means risking my life!"
A fully connected soul card is the life of the soul card master.
Not to mention the King's Sword. Qiu Jindong has been using it for a long time, and the emotions poured into it are difficult to let go.
