Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 867 Now, I predict
Protect the Nation!

The Primal Longsword had such good compatibility with the Soul Card that Gu Jieshuang didn't need to adapt for long after adding it to the card box before successfully breaking through to the State-Suppressing Realm.

For the current Soul Card Master system, breaking through to the National Defense stage is indeed much easier.

Previously, fully connected Soul Cards were mostly the end cards of decks, requiring continuous presence on the field.

Ideally, this Soul Card should be strongly related to one's own talent, so that there is a chance to become a legend in the end.

Now that Extra Deck has been introduced, there aren't as many rules anymore.

Whether it's the terminal or the subordinate, it can serve as a fully connected Soul Card.

There's no need to rely solely on one's talents to fully connect with Soul Cards, since there are already more than one path to godhood.

There were very few myths in the past, probably for this reason.

Humans are already rare in terms of outward talent, and finding a soul card that matches that talent makes it even more difficult.

If the soul card and talent are not compatible, then even advancing to the level of a national protector will be difficult.

Now that the system is complete, the situation has improved considerably.

In the past six months, Yan Kingdom has added many new towns, all of which have benefited from the improved system.

hum...

Gu Jieshuang's aura quickly subsided, and soon she suppressed the fluctuations of her soul energy.

She came to Yu Cang's side and smiled gently.

"Boss, I'm the same as you again."

"Congratulations," Yu Cang said sincerely.

Then, he paused, and said:

"You should have...found the path to advancement long ago, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jieshuang blinked and said, "Boss, what are you talking about?"

Gu Jieshuang blinked her big eyes, clearly determined to deny it to the death.

But Yu Cang wasn't buying it. He reached out and roughly messed up Gu Jieshuang's hairstyle.

"Stop pretending, I saw it all—if you want to become a god, you can do it anytime, right?"

"Uh...hehe."

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Gu Jieshuang could only chuckle.

"The boss really knows everything... I just wanted to take some time to reflect."

Although she has only recently become the guardian of the nation, the path to mythology... has indeed been foreseen long ago.

Putting everything else aside, one can advance to the Mythical level simply by relying on sword intent.

However, Gu Jieshuang didn't quite like the pendulum path.

If it were up to her to choose—she would definitely choose the same mode.

This was the path that initially allowed her to catch up with her boss.

"Alright then." Yu Cang nodded without saying anything.

He had a vague idea about the promotion method for peers.

However, this is only a conjecture; it still requires some accumulation before it is fully perfected.

If Gu Jieshuang could complete the promotion through the same method and provide him with a reference, that would be even better.

If Gu Jieshuang is unwilling to be promoted now and wants to take some time to settle down, he will not force her to do anything.

Let's perfect the remaining two paths to godhood first.

Yu Cang took a deep breath.

Like Gu Jieshuang, he could have become a god long ago if he wanted to. He meets the requirements for every existing method of becoming a god.

However, he would wait until all six paths to godhood surfaced before combining them into a myth that unites the six paths into one.

He wasn't actually sure if that kind of path existed, but if it did... he was probably the only one qualified to walk that path.

No one else will do.

Well then, he'll take a look first...

"But boss."

Gu Jieshuang's voice suddenly came over.

"Since you've brought it up... then let's do it today!"

In fact, Gu Jieshuang wanted to postpone it because she felt pressured.

This was, after all, a path no one had ever walked before. Although she was somewhat confident, she wasn't entirely sure whether she could succeed.

And... they are also anxious about whether they can continue to follow in their boss's footsteps.

She knew that the boss's path was definitely a combination of six elements, so... should she try pendulum and synchronization?

However, she wasn't even confident about just one synchronized tone, let alone adding a pendulum.

During the past few days, while following Yu Cang around, Gu Jieshuang had been constantly thinking about this issue: how to unify pendulum and synchronization.

But... I have absolutely no clue.

The more this happens, the more we get stuck in a rut, and therefore, the pressure to achieve that final breakthrough becomes increasingly immense.

So much so that, before Yu Cang pointed it out, she had been avoiding the issue of breaking through, thinking to herself, "Let's wait a little longer, maybe I'll understand it tomorrow?"
Including breaking through to the Zhenguo level, she had actually met the conditions for the breakthrough long ago, but she just wanted to delay it a little longer. So it wasn't until yesterday that she asked Yu Cang for the fully connected soul card.

But now, she has understood.

What's there to be afraid of!

Even if I could come up with a breakthrough method that integrates pendulums, what difference would it make? Whether it's one breakthrough method or one or two methods, what difference does it make in the face of the boss's six-in-one approach?
There is no difference.

The gap is obvious.

However, during this period of self-struggle, one's spirit will only be worn down more and more.

If this continues, she won't even have the courage to break through. At that point, she might fail even if she tries to break through using only synchronization techniques!
Therefore, there's no time like the present. Now is the best time to seize the momentum of breaking through the national defense barrier and break through the myth again!
Since the boss had already found out, she decided not to hide it anymore.

Thinking of this, she grabbed Yu Cang's hand.

"Come on, boss... let's go upstairs."

"Eh?"

Yu Cang was unaware that Gu Jieshuang had thought of so much all at once. He was still stunned by her rapid change of heart when he was pulled away.

……

The two walked upwards, passing through layers of stone doors.

Upon reaching the twenty-third floor, Gu Jieshuang had already found it difficult to endure before, but this time, she only needed a short adjustment before continuing upwards.

Twenty-four, twenty-five!

When they arrived on the 25th floor, Yu Cang nervously watched Gu Jieshuang's condition.

The twenty-fifth floor is a realm that only mythology can reach. Ordinary people who come here might be sliced ​​into minced meat and scattered by the spatial currents within.

Gu Jieshuang broke through the limit at level seven and reached the twenty-third level, but this does not mean that she can break through the limit at the level of Zhenguo.

Therefore, he was very nervous and had already released his divine power to the extreme. If there was any abnormality later, he would first use his imperial heart to forcibly take control of Gu Jieshuang's body.

Fortunately, it was alright.

When Gu Jieshuang arrived, she simply closed her eyes and frowned, looking somewhat uncomfortable. Apart from that, there was nothing unusual about her.

Yu Cang didn't dare to speak, afraid of disrupting Gu Jieshuang's state of mind. He just quietly hovered to the side, watching Gu Jieshuang gradually adapt to the surrounding environment.

As it turns out, Yu Cang's worries were unnecessary.

Gu Jieshuang's furrowed brows lasted only a short time.

Before long, she gently relaxed her brows and visibly unfurrowed her tension.

Then, she opened her eyes.

"How are you?" Yu Cang asked hurriedly.

"I'm doing great, boss—it's even easier than I expected." As a mixed-blood melee soul card master, her control over her body is certainly no less than Yu Cang's, and may even surpass it.

If Yu Cang can manually control his entire body through willpower, then it would be even easier for Gu Jieshuang to do the same.

Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief after repeatedly scanning Gu Jieshuang's body with his divine sense to confirm that she was indeed alright.

Jie Shuang wasn't forcing herself; she had truly adapted to life here.

Then, things will be much easier.

After the 25th floor, the spatial density will not change much. If you can adapt to the 25th floor, you can adapt to every subsequent floor.

"Jie Shuang, which level do you want to break through to?"

"Hmm... if possible, the top floor?"

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Yu Cang took Gu Jieshuang's hand, released his divine power, manipulated the chaotic clouds outside the spatial membrane, forming a spatial ocean current that propelled them upwards.

Although Gu Jieshuang can exist normally on the 25th floor, like Yu Cang, she cannot actively go against the direction of the spatial ocean current.

Therefore, their actions can only be decided by Yu Cang.

This is not a difficult task.

……

When they arrived at the 28th floor, Yu Cang paused briefly.

Further up, you enter the body of the Chaos Creator.

hum!
The continuous low murmurs came from behind, and Yu Cang turned to look at Gu Jieshuang.

Is it alright now?

With him around, the Chaos Creation wouldn't harbor any hostility... or rather, no matter who he was, this big guy wouldn't be hostile towards him, only curious.

But he was so strong that even his mere perception was enough to kill someone.

Therefore, before entering the twenty-eighth floor, he had to confirm that Gu Jieshuang could withstand the attack.

“No problem!” Gu Jieshuang nodded repeatedly. “Relax, boss… After all, I’m a national protector!”

"Even those who protect the country must be cautious."

"hey-hey."

……

After confirming everything was correct, Yu Cang led Gu Jieshuang upwards, and soon they arrived at the top of the Heavenly Gate.

hum!
The two figures emerged from the stone door, and Gu Jieshuang's eyes were immediately filled with bright light.

However, just as she instinctively covered her eyes, she discovered that although the light was strong, it was not dazzling.

So she slowly lowered her arms and looked up, and her vision was immediately filled with that pure light.

"This is... the name you mentioned, boss..."

"Yes."

"It's truly breathtaking."

Gu Jieshuang was stunned and reached out her hand, probing into the depths of the light.

Xi Li.

A golden name; it exists at the top of the Heavenly Gate, and also in the chaos.

The light emanating from this name is qualified to create the world, so much so that it can spread into the chaos and absorb the chaotic clouds within it little by little.

However, this was ultimately not the true light of creation; Xi Li failed.

Seeing that Gu Jieshuang seemed to be stunned by the scene before her, Yu Cang did not disturb her.

However, after a while, he suddenly heard Gu Jieshuang say:
"Boss, will you become like that someday?"

"Ok?"

Yu Cang was taken aback.

Why ask that?

"...Just asking."

He probably didn't tell Gu Jieshuang that he was going to do something about creating a world.

There's no need for others to know about this.

And the name above his head... Xi Li failed in creation, but he will not fail.

...Okay, we can't rule out that possibility.

However, he has far more leverage than Xi Li. Even if he fails, he won't end up like this; he'll only end up like Yuan Xu.

So he said, "No, it won't happen."

"That's it."

A smile appeared on Gu Jieshuang's face.

Yu Cang could feel the hand holding his grip tighten.

The air suddenly fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jieshuang finally said, "Boss, you should have guessed how to advance to Mythic status through Synchronous Summoning, right?"

"Hmm... I have a guess. It should be related to the 'future'."

"That's right, it's the future."

Gu Jieshuang was still looking up, her eyes flashing, lost in thought.

"It must be because I learned 'Star Rank Perception' very early on, so I saw the path to godhood through Synchro Summoning a long time ago. That should have been... when I was cultivating at Senior Ning's house."

"At one point, I suddenly saw the future."

Yu Cang's expression shifted: "See the future?"

"That's right, it's the ability to directly foresee the future—later I learned that when I possessed this ability, it meant that I was qualified to become a god through synchronization."

"Is that so?" Yu Cang said thoughtfully.

If that's the case, then he might not be quite qualified.

Foreseeing the future... If one were to use divine knowledge, perhaps it would be possible to predict what will happen next by forcibly calculating all the rhythms within a region, thereby achieving the effect of foreseeing the future.

However, according to Gu Jieshuang's description, this ability to foresee the future is not a skill, but a "proof". If you are qualified, you will automatically have this ability, rather than having this ability and then being qualified.

If he wants to unify the six into one, then he must meet the conditions for becoming a god for each of the summoning methods... This is a bit troublesome.

To be honest, he did overlook Synchro Summoning among the six summoning methods. It seems he really needs to brush up on that skill in the coming days.

While he was pondering, Gu Jieshuang continued:

"Generally speaking, the future I can foresee is a few seconds, at most a few minutes later. However, as the time becomes more and more ripe, I will also foresee a 'major event' that is closely related to my future destiny."

"But I cannot see in what form I will participate in this great event—at this point, if I want to become a god, I must make a prophecy about my future myself."

At this point, Gu Jieshuang turned her gaze away from the top of her head, turned around, looked at Yu Cang, and smiled.

Do you know what event I witnessed?

Yu Cang's heart skipped a beat: "...What?"

“I saw it, a creation.”

Yu Cang: "...Did it succeed?"

"do not know."

Gu Jieshuang gently shook her head. She moved closer and nestled gently in Yu Cang's arms in the light, then closed her eyes.

"Now, I prophesy—I will wait for you to return, even if it takes trillions of years."

……

boom!
Gu Jieshuang's aura suddenly changed!
