Cataclysm King

Chapter 605 Why do you suddenly want to be the emperor?
"The Law of Chaos."

Ji Xun looked at the photo in his hand, showing the scarred but still grinning clown, and murmured in his heart.

No wonder it is called [Gray Mist Relic].

This is the last photo of the King of Cards JOKER left in the world.

Now that Ji Xun could see the pattern in the photo clearly, it was actually the first time he recognized a special law called "the law of chaos".

This is a high-level law that expresses the ultimate secret of the universe.

Although Ji Xun himself could not accurately describe what he had realized, he saw a whole new world.

At this moment his thoughts were clearer than ever.

It is a state of extreme emptiness.

For an ordinary person, thinking about a problem can occupy his entire brain, but for him now, no matter how complicated the problem is, it is not even one-tenth of his brain.

The logical deduction that was once extremely complicated can now be answered in an instant.

Ji Xun vaguely felt that this should be the burning "divine fire".

It is not like being a god, but by burning the divine fire one can possess an eternal and immortal soul.

But it is also like the sparks of a lighthouse, illuminating the endless darkness.

It was just like seeing the first ray of light in that chaotic gray fog world before, and after it exploded, a whole new universe was born.

“My mind is the universe. This is the beginning.”

Only at this moment did Ji Xun finally understand what this [JOKER] exclusive secret method of divine cultivation was all about.

Previously, I only thought that this secret method could temper divine power and strengthen the soul, but now it seems that it is a secret method for gods to cultivate divine fire.

Moreover, this is not just an ordinary secret method of divine fire.

According to the information obtained so far, possessing the divine nature and divine fire has entered the divine rank, and is considered a "lower god";
The more powerful Nan Shenyu, the last high priest of Tarun, is a "middle-level god";
And Emperor Lanlingster is the legendary "Upper God".

This is already the top existence in the plane.

So what rank of god is JOKER, the King of Cards who once created the Card Master civilization?
Ji Xun couldn't understand that level.

But he realized that the secret method of "My mind is the universe" might ultimately point to - creating the world!
Just now in the gray fog space, the witch Lanlingster guided me to see the process of that thought creation.

Ji Xun thought of "another dimension", a special existence that is neither a world nor a world.

Theoretically speaking, if Ji Xun's thinking logic can support the operation of a world, then he only needs enough materials to create the world in his mind.

Not only on the spiritual level, but also on the material level.

There are too many thoughts in my mind at once.
"So, could the Card Master plane really have been created by a higher god?"

This idea popped into Ji Xun's mind.

He cannot perceive problems beyond perception.

He couldn't give himself an answer.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun glanced at the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] in front of him.

For the first time, he clearly saw the contents recorded on the stone tablet, understood why the advanced demonic language on the stone tablet contained such a huge amount of information, and completely understood why low-level creatures could not read this high-dimensional knowledge.

Just like a simple symbol "○", if you decompose it using a formula, you will get an infinitely large data, hidden in which is the information about the rules of the world.

If it is to be described, the amount of information is infinite for humans;

But described in the High Demonic Language, it is just a symbol that mortals cannot understand.

“Is this the world in the eyes of God?”

Ji Xun's thoughts fell into a very subtle high-dimensional state.

He looked at the [Gray Mist Relic] in his hand and sighed, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Ji Xun certainly knew that he was able to ignite the divine fire entirely because of the guidance of the witch Emperor Lanlingster.

Like a teacher.

Sadly, we won’t see each other again.

You have to walk your own path from now on.

Ji Xun felt deeply moved, as if he was standing on the shoulders of giants, which allowed him to see the high scenery in front of him.

Emperor Lanlingster probably felt the same way.

They all stood on the shoulders of the giant Kashi civilization and were qualified to glimpse the ultimate secrets of the universe.

This opportunity made Ji Xun feel grateful. No matter what the future holds, he must leave something for the Ka Shi civilization.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of conversation next to my ear.

"Stupid Darcy, I think I'm incredibly strong now. I want to challenge you!"

"Junior sister, you can't beat me."

"Humph! I don't believe it. I made another breakthrough in Tyrant Fist yesterday and have already touched the threshold of the realm. Look at my move 'Dragon Roar'!"

"."

After a while, the crackling sounds of fighting ended and the sound of conversation was heard again.

"Ah Darcy, why can't I beat you?"

"I've already told you, this isn't a matter of moves. I'm too familiar with you, there's no way you can beat me. Also, I've touched the realm, so it's normal that you can't beat me."

"Damn you Darcy! We are training together, why are you always better than me? You should know that my current strength is definitely invincible among my peers, but I can never beat you."

"Hey, the teacher seems to be awake!"

"."

After hearing those conversations, Ji Xun's thoughts seemed to gradually return to his body.

He vaguely realized that this sluggishness was the erosion of the law of time.

It seems like a long time ago.

Focusing his eyes, he saw a mushroom-headed boy and a red-haired girl running towards him happily.

It was Darcy and Isabel.

However, Ji Xun frowned slightly because he found that the appearance of the two disciples had changed slightly.

Not only did he look more heroic, but he was also a little taller.

Ji Xun realized that what he thought was "just now" in his mind might have been a long time ago.

"teacher!"

"teacher!"

The two little guys saw Ji Xunzhen wake up from meditation and ran over excitedly.

Isabel, the little girl, stared at Ji Xun with her big eyes without any hesitation, and stared at his eyes closely with her little face, exclaiming: "Wow, teacher, there seems to be a universe in your eyes!"

Ji Xun smiled slightly, knowing that it was the divine fire that he could not completely restrain yet.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How long have I been meditating?"

Darcy responded immediately: "Six months and seventeen days."

As he spoke, he seemed to know what the teacher wanted to ask, and continued, "You entered a meditative state before and have been like this ever since. The teacher's wife was worried and came to see you once. She said you had an epiphany, but then you passed away again."

"."

Ji Xun suddenly realized.

It turns out that half a year has passed since I started meditating.

Thinking of this, he stood up and stretched his slightly stiff body.

The two disciples were waiting on the side, looking at their teacher with great curiosity. They could clearly sense that there was a strange aura lingering around Ji Xun, which made them feel an inexplicable sense of worship as if they were seeing a god.

Isabel is a chatterbox, and her teacher is not an outsider.

She blinked her curious eyes and asked directly: "Teacher, why do I feel that you are different from before? It seems...it seems..."

She couldn't express how she felt.

Darcy seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Teacher, are you burning with divine fire?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun tilted his head to look at his mushroom-headed face, raised the corner of his mouth, and asked, "How did you guess that?"

When the two little guys heard this, their eyes widened instantly.

Isabel's face showed an indescribable surprise: "Ah! Teacher, you really are..."

Darcy was also inexplicably looking forward to it, and explained: "I guessed. Master's wife came to see you before and said that you were in a high-dimensional state of consciousness. So I guessed that you might have broken through the bottleneck."

Even though he guessed it, the mushroom-head guy still looked incredible.

You know, burning the divine fire is a sign of entering the divine realm!

The path to advancement from level 1 to 9 is like climbing up step by step; the last few steps may be like rock climbing with bare hands, full of difficulties. But there is a way to go after all.

As for the realm above the ninth level, that threshold is like a person looking up at the sky from the top of a mountain; if you can’t touch it, you really can’t touch it.

Isabel's father, Marshal Andre, has been stuck at the ninth level for many years, and there is no sign of igniting the divine fire.

My teacher is burning with divine fire?
Ji Xun looked at the two little guys with fangirl expressions, smiled and shook his head: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. It's just that we have just touched the threshold."

The two little guys don't think so.

They are well aware of their teacher's outrageous fighting ability.

Isabel's eyes were full of stars, she couldn't say anything else, but she said sweetly: "Teacher is the best!"

Darcy was more curious about something else and asked, "Teacher, what does it feel like to burn the divine fire?"

The gap in rank was too great, and Ji Xun was unable to explain his own realm.

After thinking for a moment, a gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes, and he said, "There are no more secrets below the God level."

"The Holy See and the Holy See of Light have been fighting in the Holy City of Vatican for almost a year. The battle is very fierce. It seems that the winner will be decided soon. Among them, the key battles worth noting are the Battle of Twin Towers, the Battle of Dorrance, and the Battle of Sismarin Mine."

"According to current intelligence, there are at least thirty pure-blooded giant dragons above level eight participating in the battle. The most prominent ones are the level nine golden dragon "Golden Shield" Risa and the level nine black dragon "Black Scale" Roderica."

"Based on the current intelligence, the Holy See is likely to lose. It is said that the Dragon God Ayrel is approaching the end of his life, and he has fought the dead dragon Marodis several times but has not gained any advantage."

"There is also Master's wife's side. The rebel army had originally planned to go to the Red Dragon King's capital, Acheron, but because they were blocked for a period of time in the Doken Mountains, the Scarlet Cult took the opportunity to first break through the Red Dragon King's capital. The Red Dragon royal family also fled into exile. Master's wife's rebel army went to the eastern part of the Red Dragon and controlled the city of Tenis and a dozen nearby provinces on the way to the Old Continent. Now they are building fortifications, waiting for the battle between the two Dragon Gods to be decided."

"The rebel army controlled by the Blue Knight Konabos is also gaining momentum. They have swept through most provinces of the Black Dragon Kingdom and are said to have millions of people. But now it seems that the rebel army is out of control. They are burning, looting and killing countless civilians. I suspect that Monliod, the Lord of War, is collecting the power of faith. But the strange thing is that He could obviously provoke more wars in a more conservative way, but now He seems to be anxious to use war sacrifices to gain power."

"."

During the past six months that Ji Xun has been practicing, too many unexpected changes have occurred in the Southern Continent.

Fortunately, Darcy helped collect intelligence.

As the three of them walked, Darcy talked about the major events that happened in the southern continent.

This mushroom-headed guy is a natural intelligence analyst and he has an extraordinary keen understanding of the situation.

Ji Xun listened to the well-organized information and quickly understood what had happened.

Darcy also analyzed it thoroughly and there were basically no major problems.

The current situation seems to be that the great melee is about to usher in a turning point. Once the Holy See is defeated, the dragon clan may free up their hands to clean up the human rebels.

Qin Rushi's choice to garrison in Tenis City is also the best choice.

It is the only way to the Old World, and you can retreat or fight.

But the current situation is that there is also a "Plane Supervisor".

From the details of the intelligence, Ji Xun saw that the situation was developing in a strange direction.

This melee in the southern continent is not that simple.

This made Ji Xun feel a strong sense of crisis.

Even though his strength has skyrocketed now, he is almost fearless of any enemy below the god level.

But facing the "existence" that once left several top masters of the Talen Dynasty helpless, Ji Xun had no confidence at all.

Moreover, he now saw the hidden clues left by the predecessors of the Card Master civilization on the Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet.

Some things must be prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun took out the communication scroll and contacted Katarina in the Old Continent and Chujiu in the Eastern Wasteland.

a few days later.

The city of Tenis in the east of the Red Dragon.

A hundred miles further northeast from here is the endless world rift leading to the old continent.

The city of Tennis has the largest Void Dragon Shipyard in the Lan Continent and also has the best shipbuilding craftsmen in the Southern Continent.

Qin Rushi led the rebel army to control the city, thus blocking the only throat to the Old World.

The current chaos in the southern continent is not caused by resource plunder, but a struggle for faith.

Therefore, the previous few old dragon gods had little interest in the Old Continent.

Qin Rushi also easily took over a large area nearby.

This day, outside the city of Tenis.

The city wall, which was originally several tens of meters high, has been reinforced to nearly a hundred meters.

Not only that, in addition to the magic towers, there are also a number of super-large-caliber cannons on the city walls.

Mechanical hoisting equipment can be seen everywhere on the city walls, transporting stones to reinforce the city walls, and many soldiers patrolling the city walls are also soldiers wearing mechanical equipment. In the sky, there are not only void dragon ships floating, but also steam floating airships.

Outside the city, there are densely packed refugee tents.

At the city gate, refugees lined up in long queues, waiting to enter the city in a chaotic but orderly manner.

Not all those queuing were commoners. There were also some nobles dressed in luxurious clothes queuing with their families, hoping to enter the city.

Large numbers of refugees are pouring in from elsewhere every moment.

They all wanted to go to the Old World through the city of Tenis to escape the war.

Ji Xun and his two companions traveled for several days and finally arrived outside the city of Tenis.

From a distance, Isabel was attracted by the majestic city wall and exclaimed: "Wow. The city of Tenis has changed so much."

"Yes."

Ji Xun has passed by this city many times, and it has indeed changed a lot.

It is like an ancient magic castle transformed into a military fortress full of black technology.

Isabel looked at the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, "But why are there so many people?"

Darcy responded: "The safest place in the southern continent right now is the large area east of Red Dragon controlled by Master's Wife. Refugees from the three kingdoms are flocking here, and there will be more in the future."

Ji Xun saw the whole thing and of course saw the consequences at a glance.

More people is a good thing.

Most of those who were able to escape were strong and healthy.

When they go to the Old World, they will add a huge population to that place and also bring a large amount of labor.

This will also inject vitality into the development of the Old Continent in the future.

The reason why there are long queues to enter the city, in addition to identity checks, the most important thing is to inject [Gene Anchoring Drug] one by one.

Whether it is a vampire or a dragon, the main human gene will be anchored after the injection.

That way, there would be less chance of trouble and we would be completely cut off from the old forces in the southern continent.

Several foreign god teams seemed to have no interest in the old continent that was still being developed. Ji Xun sensed that there didn't seem to be any special atmosphere in the refugee camp.

At this time, Isabel saw the legion badges on some of the soldiers guarding the city and was surprised: "Hey, it's the flag of my Iris Legion! The general at the gate is Uncle Jerome. Could it be that my father is here too?"

"."

Neither Ji Xun nor Darcy were surprised.

The indigenous people of the southern continent who saw mechanical technology for the first time were inevitably afraid, but in addition to the flags of the rebels, there were also flags of the "Iris Legion" in the city.

This will go a long way in calming the refugees' anxieties.

After all, this was once the territory of the Red Dragon Kingdom.

The Iris Legion was once one of the three noble legions of the Red Dragon, and the people still have a strong foundation of trust in it.

And now that the Red Dragon royal family is in exile, the Iris Legion can come back under the banner of reinforcement. They don't have to obey orders, and they can also summon their old subordinates to gather population and resources.

This is the best opportunity to grow.

Ji Xun and the other two did not stay outside the city for long and walked straight towards the city gate.

As soon as Isabel lifted her cloak and revealed her face, the soldiers of the Iris Legion immediately recognized their own lady.

The three of them entered the city smoothly.

"Wow, the changes are really exaggerated."

"."

The three entered the city under the leadership of the guards.

As soon as they entered the city, they were attracted by the bustling and orderly prosperity on the streets.

All kinds of shops are operating as normal, and there is no fear of war on the faces of residents passing by.

Except that there are more patrolling soldiers and the city is more majestic, it is not much different from the pre-war city of Tenis, and it is even more prosperous.

The three of them had been in the wilderness for more than half a year, and suddenly entered a prosperous city. Isabel had been eagerly waiting for the opportunity.

She rushed into the pastry shop on the street and quickly ran out with a few bags of pastries.

"Teacher, here you go. This is my favorite 'Emerald Cake'. It was originally only available in the capital city of Acheron. I didn't expect the owner to come to Tenis City."

"Stupid Darcy, this is for you."

"Ivan, there's yours too~"

One pack was given to Ji Xun, one pack was given to Darcy, and the other pack was given to Ivan, with whom he had already become familiar.

Isabel kept one pack for herself.

The greedy girl didn't care about the reserve of a noble lady and happily started eating her bag.

Ji Xun didn’t have any idol baggage. He opened the paper bag and took out a piece of crystal clear pastry and started eating.

It's soft and chewy in the mouth, and the taste is really great.

Darcy also ate with gusto.

The master and his two disciples ate as they walked, and it was difficult for others to tell that they were top-level experts.

As we were walking, suddenly a burly man led by a few guards rushed into our sight.

Isabel's eyes lit up immediately when she saw it: "It's father!"

She glanced at Ji Xun, as if asking for instructions: Teacher?

Ji Xun smiled.

Isabel then trotted over excitedly, jumped up and bumped into the arms of the burly middle-aged man: "Wow, father, it's been a long time, Isabel missed you."

After all, the little girl who left home for the first time still missed her family deeply.

Andre, the iron-blooded strong man, looked at his little daughter, his eyes full of doting tenderness, "I'm glad you're back."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Xun who was not far away and nodded in greeting.

Just with this glance, Andre suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if the guy in front of him had become stronger again?

Before he could figure out if it was an illusion, Isabel in his arms raised her head proudly, "Father, look!"

Andre naturally knew the temperament of his precious daughter. She was going to show him the results of her practice. He also cooperated with her with great interest and gave her an expectant expression: "Oh?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Isabel's red magic power began to burn like flames.

This fire curse made her look like the "fire god descended", exuding a domineering aura.

However, it was this display that made Andrei and several senior generals around him instantly freeze in expression.

"this!!!"

Although this temperature has no effect on Andre, who is at the ninth level.

But when he saw this scene, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

This top warrior who had fought on the battlefield for many years was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

I originally thought I would see a more powerful daughter, but unexpectedly I saw a completely transformed Isabel!
After taking the [Fire God Fruit], Isabel can truly be said to have been reborn.

Her current talent for controlling the fire element has even reached the level of a seventh-rank card master.

Furthermore, Professor Ji Xun's domineering fist has now reached the master level, and carries a domineering aura.

Andre looked at her again and again, his eyes full of disbelief, as if his expression could speak: Is this really his precious daughter?

The change was so great that he couldn't believe it.

Isabel looked at the shocked expressions of her father and uncles with great satisfaction.

She raised her proud neck even higher and said, "Father, I have changed a lot, right? During this time of studying with the teacher, I have been practicing very hard. You said before that I would be lazy, hum, now you are shocked, right?"

Few Dragonborn people know what humility is. In their minds, if you have strength, you have to show it.

What’s more, the people in front of me are my closest relatives.

This time Andre was so shocked that he was speechless.

Of course, with his level of cultivation, he could see through Isabel's strength at a glance.

It was because he understood it that he found it incredible!

Given my daughter's talent, it's not surprising that she advanced to the fifth level in just one year.

But what's going on with this flame field?
Has the fifth level already touched the threshold of the field?
If it weren't for the previous expedition to the Eastern Wasteland, Andre would have thought it was outrageous that a sixth-rank card master in the Eastern Wasteland could master a domain, so outrageous that even the Dragonborn were a little jealous.

Now seeing that his daughter was also so outrageous, the old father felt relieved for some reason.

And the domineering aura and exaggerated curse power
This change is like she is a completely different person from the image I had of my precious daughter.

What shocked Andre the most was the strength of the law of fire!
This has already exceeded the level by at least two major levels.

Even though he was at the ninth level, he couldn't understand why he had such an exaggerated understanding of the laws.

Isabel saw her father's amazement, and with pride and pride on her face, she said: "My teacher gave me a [Fire God Fruit], and now I am very strong. Father, don't look at me as if I have only improved by one level. I am no longer the person I used to be."

Andrei's eyelids twitched for no apparent reason when he heard this: "Vulcan Fruit?"

Isabel said, "Yes! The teacher and his wife killed the Flame Demon King. They found it with great difficulty."

"."

Andre's expression suddenly became complicated.

Of course he knew the value of the [Fire God Fruit].

Who would have thought that Ji Xun would give such a treasure to a disciple he had just accepted?

I owe you a big favor.

In Andre's opinion, it seemed to be a better choice to take in a disciple instead of getting married.

That guy is really sincere in training.

I was a little worried before that my precious daughter would be wronged, but now it seems that it was completely unnecessary.

Andre was inexplicably moved.

Just as I was thinking about it, Isabel beside me was still chattering about her adventure stories during this period: "I still have a lot to tell you."

Andre: "Yes. Take your time."

As he spoke, he nodded to Ji Xun, then led his precious daughter back to the mansion.

Having been away from home for such a long time, not only he, the old father, but many people in the family miss him.

But as they walked, Andre felt something was wrong.

"The teacher taught me so many great things. Oh, father, you may not know that the teacher is really very, very great. He knows everything and is proficient in everything."

Isabel kept calling him teacher, which made Andre feel a little resentful. He finally asked, "Is he better than dad?"

He originally thought he would hear the words "Father is the most powerful man in the world."

But what she didn't expect was that after a moment of hesitation, her precious daughter responded: "Ah, yeah. Father is also very good!"

"."

Hearing these words that seemed to be comforting, Andre's eyes became more resentful.

It has only been a year since I last saw my beloved daughter, and it seems that she doesn't adore me as much as before.

But at the same time, he was also certain of one thing, that guy's strength seemed to be really a bit outrageous.

Ji Xun of course knew that Andre was not there to pick him up, and he didn't mind feeling the resentment.

After walking a few steps, I saw a blonde woman who was so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing in a jewelry shop on the side of the road.

She was leisurely choosing jewelry, and seemed to notice something, so she tilted her head to look.

Darcy greeted happily, "Master's wife!"

It was none other than Catalina.

Ji Xun walked in and greeted, "When did you arrive?"

Catalina looked at him with seductive eyes: "I left as soon as I received your call. I just arrived this morning."

"Oh."

Ji Xun looked at the charming and enchanting eyes, and sighed in his heart that she was really becoming more and more like the Moon Goddess.

Catalina was still choosing jewelry and asked casually, "Which one looks better?"

Both necklaces were extremely exquisite and luxurious. There was nothing much to choose from. Ji Xun pointed to one of them intuitively and said, "This one."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Catalina raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't seem to be bothered. "Can you help me put it on?"

"Happy to oblige."

Ji Xun took the necklace.

Catalina turned around and lifted her blonde hair to reveal her fair neck so that he could get access to her.

At this time, she asked casually: "Didn't you want to be the emperor before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
