Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 856 Return to Tianmen
The mechanics of the Blood Pegasus have been tested to a near-complete degree.

Now, this card can be seen as Li Anjiu's wild side. When it leaves the deck, Li Anjiu will return to his original state and be no different from a normal person.

When this power is needed, this Soul Card can be inserted into the deck. At this time, [Pegasus Desolation] will crush Li Anjiu's Soul Energy Well, turning it back into a Blood Pegasus.

Yu Cang added a mechanism to prevent loss of control, intending for Li Anjiu to be able to pull out the Soul Card himself when it enters the death cooldown period.

However, it seems that Li Anjiu can now remain conscious in the Blood Pegasus state, so this mechanism is no longer particularly useful... But Li Anjiu seems to really like this time-limited transformation setting, so Yu Cang didn't do much and kept the mechanism.

After all... no matter how it's designed, the chaos of the Wildlings and a certain degree of uncontrollability cannot be removed. This Soul Card must have a "flaw".

The time limit for transformation is a good feature.

"Speaking of which, this card..." Zhao Yang looked at the description of the Blood Pegasus, pondered for a moment, "Can I use it?"

"better not."

Yu Cang said, "When you put this card into the card box, it will crush the Soul Energy Well—our original Soul Energy Well can't withstand that."

"...Is that so?" Zhao Yang seemed quite regretful.

Actually, he was quite tempted too.

The transformation scenes... were really cool.

“Speaking of which,” Zhao Yang changed the subject, “Li Anjiu…could become a legend, couldn’t he?”

Yu Cang nodded: "...Yes, that's fine."

"Tsk...would this be considered a path outside the six paths to godhood?"

"Not yet, after all... this path cannot be replicated yet."

“That means it will be possible in the future,” Zhao Yang sighed.

He originally felt quite accomplished for designing the ritual for becoming a god.

But with Yu Cang... he really can't be complacent at all.

The fact that there are six ways to summon gods, each corresponding to a different path to godhood, is already quite astonishing. To be able to forge other paths within this framework is simply inhuman.

"Um... don't overthink it, it's nothing new." Yu Cang was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Since we've already turned the Desolate Human Li Anjiu into a Soul Card... then all we need to do is depict this Soul Card as a myth, and wouldn't that make Li Anjiu a god?"

Zhao Yang: "Uh..."

That makes sense.

"Doesn't that mean Li Anjiu could become a god at any time?"

“He still needs more training,” Yu Cang said. “After all, it’s a myth, and it places a very high demand on Li Anjiu’s endurance.”

Li Anjiu is currently in a state of desolation and can barely speak, let alone undergo a mythical transformation.

"Alright, I'll be going now—if anything seems amiss with Li Anjiu, just let me know."

After saying that, Yu Cang turned around and left the treatment center, a place where once you entered, you couldn't leave.

……

It was already noon when Yu Cang left the treatment center.

After lunch, I went to the Second Company's camp to watch them train.

Today's training went fairly well; the soldiers seem to have found the knack, and their ability to control the speed of war objects has visibly improved.

Yu Cang also tried it out himself several times, trying his best to summarize his experience.

In short, it seems only a matter of time before the warriors gain complete control of the war celestial bodies.

……

Yu Cang stayed in Yujiang for another half month.

During this period, he mainly trained the soldiers and observed Li Anjiu's situation.

It seems that Li Anjiu's condition has stabilized, but whether he can return to a normal life in human society in this state still requires a long period of observation.

If that's really done, then Li Anjiu might be the first person to leave the treatment center... as an experimental subject.

Half a month has passed, and Yu Cang has confirmed that there will be no change in the situation here.

Li Anjiu can continue his experiments. Although the soldiers haven't succeeded yet, they can already manipulate war celestial bodies to conduct simple battles.

Just a few days ago, I went to a dangerous place outside the border of Yan Kingdom and used the energy impact of the powerful brick to instantly kill a high-level legendary beast.

There's absolutely no operational difficulty; you just need to give the order to attack once you arrive at the location.

Such a brilliant victory made the soldiers of the Second Company very excited. They didn't get enough rest for several days in a row, so much so that Company Commander Wan Quan had to endure the pain and add extra training, using a series of relentless five-kilometer runs to awaken the soldiers' drowsiness.

This level of combat capability is already formidable, but further training is needed to achieve more refined maneuvers.

So, before leaving, Yu Cang left Princess Xingchen behind.

Next, let Stardust lead the warriors in training.

Yu Cang has copied all the Star Armory's access tokens many times. Once the Second Company has completed its training, they will summarize the relevant experience and then promote it to other companies.

At the current pace, it's unrealistic for them to completely control the war celestial bodies on their own, but Yu Cang doesn't expect them to actually participate in the mythical battlefield.

After all, war celestial bodies are relatively weaker than mythological ones, and the soldiers' reaction ability is an unavoidable weakness.

They only need to be able to dominate their opponents and achieve legendary status.

Myths naturally have their own interpretations.

It is worth mentioning that... during this period, a new legend was born in the Yan Kingdom.

Autumn is approaching, winter is near!
He took the path of connection and summoning as his own, and with Ren Zheng's help, he successfully summoned the divine self, thus achieving the realm of mythology!

Yu Cang was not surprised by this.

In terms of summoning, Qiu Jindong unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune and was already very close to becoming a god.

Back then, he followed him to the Great Court of the Longevity Tent. On the way, the Heavenly Tomb King Sword lost its connection due to the power of the Divine Retribution Wasteland. In order to maintain his combat power, he chose to forcibly link this Soul Card.

The cost of doing this is that if the connection is lost again, the entire Soul Card will be completely destroyed, with no possibility of repair or restoration.

During the battle at the Great Royal Court, Qiu Jindong was ambushed by the Forbidden Card Master, and the fully connected Heavenly Tomb King Sword disappeared forever.

Complete forgetting is the foundation for remembering again!

When Yu Cang returned from the Longevity Tent, the Divine Descent of Me had not yet been created. He only had a card-making idea, but he was already very optimistic about Qiu Jindong's current state.

Despite the immense trauma, the upper limit of autumn approaching winter has been opened.

If the situation hadn't been so dire when the true dragon was in danger, leaving him no time to think, Yu Cang would definitely have chosen autumn approaching winter as the experimental subject for achieving godhood.

After all, Ren Zheng's situation doesn't quite fit the description.

Now it has been proven that Yu Cang's judgment was indeed correct.

Under Ren Zheng's guidance, Qiu Jindong finally took this step.

This is just the beginning.

Yu Cang stroked his chin, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

It's easy to imagine that as autumn approaches winter, many veteran Zhenguo players will be willing to voluntarily disconnect their fully connected soul cards in order to break through the connection myth.

The concept of connection summoning emphasizes destruction before construction, forgetting before remembering, which is indeed a method to enter a breakthrough state.

But... this is not a 100% successful method.

If it fails, the complete loss of the Soul Card connection will be of immense damage to the Soul Card Master...

It's even normal for those Soul Card Masters who are already old and lack vital energy to die because of this.

This made Yu Cang feel a little reluctant, but he also understood the resentment and pursuit of those Soul Card Masters.

The path to mythology requires this kind of resolute determination to face death and be reborn.

"...It's time to perfect the other paths to godhood."

Yu Cang took a deep breath. Of the three methods available, the pendulum requires mythological skills, the ritual requires accomplishing a great feat, and their requirements are all quite high.

The only thing that matters is the connection; it's simply a matter of risking death to gain a chance, and most Soul Card Masters can meet the requirements.

If there are more roads... they will have more choices and a greater chance of choosing the right one for them.

Therefore, let's thoroughly improve these roads on this trip to Tianmen.

Yes, after leaving Yujiang, Yu Cang's next destination was Tianmen.

He's going to be there in seclusion for a while.

……

Imperial Capital
Tianmen
The figures of Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang, and Ling E slowly emerged from beneath the Heavenly Gate.

tread.

Yu Cang landed in the clouds and took a deep breath.

The air quality in Tianmen is really good.

He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Layer upon layer of clouds opened up overhead, seemingly boundless. The last time he saw such a sight, he felt a profound sense of insignificance.

Now, he only has confidence in his heart.

He certainly has reason to be confident.

With Yu Cang's current strength, he is already capable of creating a space like the Heavenly Gate himself.

However... it will be very troublesome.

Xi Li is still formidable; the Heavenly Gate is no longer just a simple alternate dimension.

In Yu Cang's eyes, starlight flashed and disappeared.

Upon returning to Tianmen, he made many new discoveries.

Previously, his perspective was limited, and he only felt that Tianmen was very mysterious. Now that he knows everything, he finally understands the essence of the Tianmen world.

Beside him, Ling E nodded slightly to Yu Cang:

"Well... I'll head out now."

It had been a long time since I'd seen Ling E; she was even thinner now, and her demeanor had changed drastically.

Ling E now possesses an ethereal and otherworldly air, his eyes seemingly devoid of worldly desires, as if he has become a true recluse.

Yu Cang nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy."

It seems that the incident in the capital had a significant impact on Ling E... but it appears to be a positive one.

Although the four major families caused a lot of trouble in the capital, Ling E himself has always been upright.

The Yan Kingdom Association has always been very strict in selecting holders of Mythical Soul Cards.

Not only must it pass through layers of review and overt and covert investigations, but it also requires the personal oversight of Emperor Chang'an.

Therefore, since Ling E obtained the Heavenly Gate, he couldn't possibly be a bad person.

Unfortunately, even though he was very upright, he was still influenced by his family.

Openly and secretly, the Ling family is intentionally using Ling E's mythical status as a protector of the nation to profit for themselves, and Ling E... actually doesn't have any good solutions.

All these things, more or less, affected his mindset.

The beginning of the Heavenly Gate World was when Duan Zai used his status as one of the four great families to get close to the Lingxiao Tower, which led to everything that followed.

After being reprimanded, the Ling family has completely behaved themselves and dares not cause any more trouble.

Without the burden of her family, Ling E's mindset underwent a significant change.

Ling E smiled at Yu Cang, then turned and disappeared into the Heavenly Gate.

It had been a long time since I'd seen Yu Cang. He had gone from being a Level 6 student to a National Guardian, as if not a few months had passed, but decades.

He didn't even need Ling E's help to enter the Heavenly Gate... He was just going through the motions here.

Using a dispelling spell to remove the wasteland? Absolutely not.

With a sweep of his divine power, Yu Cang could clearly tell whether any remnants of the desolate spirit remained on his body.

As the original youngest brother, no one understands the wilderness better than him.

"Let's go, Jieshuang."

"Ok!"

Yu Cang took Gu Jieshuang's hand and walked out from the five-room, six-pillar, eleven-story gate. Ahead, Ao Hai and Ao Xiang were already waiting.

"gentlemen!"

Ao Hai greeted him in a very casual manner, "You've arrived... I've missed you so much these past few days, sir!"

Ao Xiang followed behind Ao Hai with a tense expression. When he saw Yu Cang, he quickly performed an ancient salute.

"You don't need to go through those formalities with me."

Yu Cang patted Ao Xiang on the shoulder.

The dragon-man's demeanor has changed drastically.

When we first met, this guy seemed weak and frail, not like a dragon.

Now, although his temperament is still somewhat feminine, his expression is already starting to resemble that of the Dragon King.

It seems that Ao Hai must have taught him a lot about imperial power during this time... although Yu Cang had doubts about whether Ao Hai actually knew how to use imperial power.

In any case, Ao Xiang now clearly belongs to a superior and deserves the title of "prince".

Just as Yu Cang was thinking this.

"it is good!"

Ao Xiang suddenly nodded vigorously, as if he had breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.

Yu Cang smiled.

Was he just putting on an act all along?
It seems he really hasn't been communicating with Ao Xiang enough; look how nervous the child is.

……

When Yu Cang returned to Tianmen, Ao Hai naturally prepared a feast of fine wine and food.

First, a grand banquet for three days!
Yu Cang had already anticipated the extravagance of the Dragon Palace, and this time he firmly refused.

You can hold the banquet; he won't participate.

Ao Hai was quite disappointed by this, and even told Cang that they had prepared a lot of the Longevity Ancestor's Blood Wine so that he could drink his fill.

Yu Cang couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Please spare Shouzu.

It's not easy for people to cultivate spiritual blood.

Now, the blood of the Longevity Ancestor has no effect on him anymore, and since he dislikes alcohol, which makes him lose his senses, he has even less reason to attend the banquet.

After resting briefly in the guest room, he and Gu Jieshuang headed towards the Heavenly Gate beyond the fifteenth floor.

This time, we don't know where his limit will be...

A hint of anticipation flashed in Yu Cang's eyes.

The name of the top floor should be visible by now...
