Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

"I'm very satisfied, little hairpin, step down." Gu Ye put away the [Wood Carving Spirit Blood] card, a playful smile on his lips, deliberately dragging out his words as he teased the hairpin.

"Ah—Gu Ye! You're asking for death! Today I'll cripple your third leg!" Bu Yao instantly bristled, her face turning red with anger. She grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Gu Ye, her eyes blazing with fury.

The two of them bickered and laughed like this, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Ning Shijun, with the vast resources of the "Saviour of the World by Luck" cult, quickly gathered all the materials needed to make Zhang Jiao's card. Everything was ready except for the final push.

Inside the secluded room, the light was soft, the environment was tranquil, and the air was filled with a rich spiritual atmosphere and the rustic charm of the card-making materials.

In the spiritual space, Ning Shijun stared intently at the illusory cards before him, his spirit-drawing brush dancing in his hand as he began to write the background of Zhang Jiao's world. With each stroke of his brush, the background was slowly engraved into the cards.

Zhang Jiao, courtesy name Taiping, was born into a poor family in Biangou Town, a small town on the border of Demacia in the "Runeterra" continent. He was born with the special ability to sense magic.

Under Demacia's ironclad rule that "magic is evil," his parents, to save his life, handed him over to a demon hunter organization, where he was later trained to become one.

[Later, due to an accident, he was shackled with magic-suppressing stone chains and thrown into the deepest part of the Demon Hunter's Black Prison, isolated from the world.]

Gilgamesh, the hero-king from afar, unintentionally arrived at the Black Prison. Upon seeing Zhang Jiao, who was bound by iron chains, covered in wounds, yet still had an unyielding gaze, the hero-king felt a sense of appreciation.

After spending some time together, the two gradually became friends. Before leaving, the Hero King gave Zhang Jiao a book, the *Taiping Qingling Shu*, a powerful secret manual that Gilgamesh had unintentionally obtained in the mysterious East.

In the end, Gilgamesh said: "Since you can't change yourself, then make others change to suit you."

Zhang Jiao gleaned a set of principles for saving the world, equality, and freedom from suffering from the "Book of Great Peace and Purity," and thus founded the Way of Great Peace, proclaiming himself the Great Teacher of Virtue.

[He shattered the magic-suppressing stone shackles with lightning and escaped the dark prison. For decades, he wandered Demacia, witnessing countless deaths. He saw the corruption of the Demacian court and the suffering of its people, and he loathed Demacia's hypocritical monarchy and unjust magic-suppressing system.]

[Therefore, he devised a momentous plan: Dema is dead, peace will surely be established, the year is Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world.]

He rallied oppressed mages and commoners across Demacia to form a resistance army and declare war on the hypocritical monarchy and the unjust anti-magic system.

Today, Zhang Jiao is the spiritual leader of all the oppressed in Demacia. He shatters the darkness with thunder, purifies all evil in the world, and leads his followers to ignite the flames of resistance on the land of Demacia.

He firmly believed he was not a rebel, but a true Demacian; what he sought to destroy was the corrupt old order, and to establish a new nation where everyone was equal and magic belonged to all.

As Ning Shijun finished his last stroke, he took a deep breath and calmly uttered that sentence.

"Heaven above, this card is complete. May Heaven take notice."

Ning Shijun waited anxiously, when suddenly a crisp, melodious metallic clanging sound rang out in the secret room.

"Ding—Ding—"

The voice was ethereal and resonant, carrying an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing that voice, Ning Shijun's tense body instantly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief. The tension and unease in his eyes were completely replaced by ecstasy.

A card, entirely gilded and with intricate golden runes engraved on its back, slowly descended from the void. The runes flowed, radiating a majestic and sacred aura.

Ning Shijun quickly reached out and carefully caught the card. He gripped it tightly and eagerly focused on examining it. The card's detailed information instantly appeared clearly in his mind:

Card: [Zhang Jiao, the Thunder Liberator]

Quality: [Deep Gold, 7 stars]

Category: [Magic/Summoning/Humanoid]

characteristic:

【Lightning Strike】A lightning-based magic that Zhang Jiao comprehended from the "Book of Peaceful Harmony," allowing him to draw upon the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth for his own use.

[Deceptive Method] The technique of turning beans into soldiers from the Book of Peace and Tranquility was comprehended by Zhang Jiao and improved into a magic more suitable for himself.

When someone dies, Zhang Jiao automatically absorbs their soul and transforms it into his "mysterious soldiers" (maximum of 80).

【Eye of the Demon Seeker】When Zhang Jiao was a demon seeker, he awakened a special eye that could see through illusions and directly see the enemy's weaknesses.

[Body of the Forbidden Magic Stone] Grants immunity to all sealing, silence, and suppression effects. Whenever an ally is stripped of power, imprisoned, or judged, Zhang Jiao gains one stack of "Rage".

Each stack of "Rage" increases the power of magic and can reflect one control effect.

[The Lord of the Way of Peace] Zhang Jiao will absorb the power of faith brought by the influence of the card master, condense his divine status, and become a god without needing divinity.

skill:

[Lightning Tribulation]:

Zhang Jiao invoked the laws of thunder and lightning in the universe, enveloping an area and summoning heavenly lightning to attack.

[Enlightenment]:

When an ally enters a near-death state, one "Deceptive Soldier" can be consumed to restore half of their injuries and remove all negative effects from them.

[Breaking Free from Shackles]:

Zhang Jiao's realization upon breaking free from his chains and achieving true freedom for the first time grants him a shield. If he successfully breaks free from control during this period, the maximum number of "Deceptive Soldiers" under the [Deceptive Path] skill will double.

[Take what they have done to you]:

It can steal the strongest skill of one enemy and use it for its own purposes.

[The Commander of the Thirty-Six Directions - Heavenly General]:

Zhang Jiao can absorb the power of all allies and concentrate it into one body.

[A peaceful and prosperous era]:

When all allies die, including Zhang Jiao himself, he will summon the ideal world he has pursued all his life—the Peaceful World.

"Holy crap!!!!" Even Ning Shijun, who was highly cultivated and had experienced many trials and tribulations, was shocked for a moment.

His gaze was fixed on the card's characteristic, "Master of Peace," especially the word "divinity" and the earth-shattering description that followed: "No need for divinity, one becomes a god on one's own."

Having experienced so much, Ning Shijun already knew that to break through to the Mythical Card Master level, one must possess divinity.

So he had long given up hope of breaking through the myth in this lifetime, but now Gu Ye gave him a huge surprise that almost knocked him unconscious.

Ning Shijun gripped the card tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, tears welling in his eyes, yet he couldn't help but smile and burst into laughter:

"Haha, kid, you've given me an unexpected surprise!"

"If I can't accomplish this great task even with Zhang Jiao's help, then how can I be worthy of him?"
