Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

When he first returned to the real world, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and after this reminder, he felt a chill run down his spine.

“Actually, it’s not a big secret. Many people know it.” Researcher Bai’s voice became dejected and helpless. “As long as you gather the acetylene in your body onto your eyes, about ten million points, you can see very clearly.”

“There are huge shadows in the sky, like fences, trapping us in a cage.”

"We don't have ten million points of beta-carotene in our bodies, but it can be detected with some equipment."

"The fence is actually a high-energy argon flow emitted by the Shenxing Tree. A special magnetic field is formed between the argon flows, which restricts the collision of particles."

"When civilization is shackled, it is difficult for it to move forward."

He sighed deeply and then said, "When a person knows they are living in a cage, they usually have two choices."

"Pretend you don't know, eat and drink as you please, and enjoy the pleasures of life."

"Such people are called—the decadent cowards."

"Conversely, there is always a group of people who are unwilling to live in a cage. They go crazy and try to break out of the cage and open up a new world."

"These kinds of people are called—the madmen of the doomsday faction."

“Besides that, there is another special faction—the Seeking Sect, and I am one of them.”

"You should have heard that recording too. When you gather 24 leaders, you will open the stargate and speak with the god Sayera."

“The recording is too old, and I can’t investigate the details. I asked Nanyang Gong about it, but he wasn’t sure either. He said the voice sounded a lot like a comrade-in-arms named Captain Bai Jing.”

Upon hearing the name, Luo Bai raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

“At first I didn’t believe it,” researcher Bai continued. “Until that day, I was shocked to discover that the moon in the sky above the Unbounded Domain was actually a star chart, with a total of 24 stars embedded on it, and the number of stars lit up was exactly equal to the number of leaders discovered.”

"I have no choice but to believe it; at least I believe it halfway."

“Something is bound to happen once the leaders of all 24 tribes are gathered together.”

"As for whether the so-called star gate will be opened, and whether the star gate is connected to the Divine Star Tree, I cannot be sure. The person recording the recording is not in a stable mental state, and the possibility of him going insane cannot be ruled out."

"Of course, the more difficult part is gathering 24 leaders."

"The lower nineteen tribes are relatively easy to deal with, as one can be found every few years. As for the leaders of the upper five tribes, up to 656 years ago, only one has appeared: Midrash in 404, the leader of the mage tribe."

"The promotion of the five upper clans requires not only sufficient leadership, but also a grand ceremony."

"Aleister and Arubert have both failed."

“Gilsu and Vesas are both very promising, but I don’t think I’ll see them promoted.”

"I really can't imagine how chaotic it would be if all these people existed in the same era."

"Therefore, I created the Rebirth Shop."

"I hope to provide some card assistance while using microparticles to monitor their status and control them."

"This is a very long, tiring, and risky undertaking, and I don't have the energy to continue."

"I often think, why don't I just go crazy too?"

"Staying in a cage for too long can really drive you crazy."

"Be very careful of the five supreme authorities. They may seem to be the most loyal members of the Fallen, but they may very well harbor a heart that wants to destroy the world. For example, the supreme authority of the research center is me. Nine out of ten outstanding researchers are crazy, and there is one who wants to go crazy but restrains himself."

"There's also the supreme authority of the Council of Common Authority. I've tested the composition of the Divine Stele Spring, and it's not a good thing."

"Once the five highest authorities are transferred to the Doomsday Faction, they will have unparalleled advantages."

"They are very likely—"

"I want to create a new 003."

"No one wants to live in a cage. If civilization stagnates, congenital analgesia and the Bai family's hereditary blindness will remain incurable, and the Summoning Machine and the Machine Soldier will not be able to be upgraded."

"I created the Inner Program in order to suppress my desire to destroy the world."

"This program has a very strong [cleansing] consciousness. I have placed a quarter of it inside the Divine Star Tree. Once I show signs of mental abnormality, the program will be triggered if I have sufficient yin energy."

"The program will temporarily eliminate all my emotions, connect to the Divine Star Tree to extract Yina, and enter an annihilation state."

"This is also..." He recalled something unpleasant, his voice becoming low and melancholic, "The Skyhawk incident..."

He seemed unwilling to discuss this topic, and instead said, "What I said before is all in the past, and it's not important."

"You decide which path you choose in the future."

"However, I hope you will listen carefully to what I am about to say."

Luo Bai frowned and became extremely alert.

The researcher's words, though seemingly trivial, could cause a huge uproar if taken out of context, but to him they were just minor matters of the past.

What comes next is the important thing?

Researcher Bai took a deep breath, his gaze becoming extremely serious: "Affected by Underworld 003, some microparticles have been tainted with spacetime properties."

"You can be seen in the surveillance footage at different times."

"A very small fraction of neutrinos possess a vision of the future."

"I saw."

"The new 003!"

"Based on the images, it's very likely that it first appeared in the 11th century. The measured amplitude was an extreme value of 215 million Naores, twice as strong as a typical apocalyptic halo, but it's still not too bad."

"But I never expected this."

"Sixteen years later, I captured the image for the second time, and the amplitude I detected was—"

"A maximum value of 772 million Nanars!"

"The halo energy surpasses that of 003 in the Underworld, becoming the new 003!"

“In the past, the destruction of the world was instantaneous, lasting at most a few days or a few months.”

"This damn thing has lasted for over a decade, and it's even showing signs of growth!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai's pupils suddenly contracted: "A world-destroying level with growth potential..."

As researcher Bai said, no matter how terrifying the past was, it doesn't matter, but this really happened in the 11th century, which is definitely not far in the future.

It's been over a decade and still hasn't been completely resolved; this thing must be incredibly troublesome and torturous.

After working so hard for so long, can't we even enjoy ourselves?

Are they stirring up trouble again?!

No way! I have to find a way to have a daughter so she can bother me!

Yes! The shop is also under her management!

What sect are you looking for?

Selling cards to activate 24 commanders?

Why not travel the world with your wife and become a loyal fan of the decadent lifestyle!

We're determined to be cowards!

Please, the paths of the Machine Race and the Dragon Race are already tiring and dangerous enough; they don't have the energy to deal with those lunatics.

"This is the whole truth." The researcher Bai's figure gradually faded. "I believe you already have the answer in your heart."

With a ding, the video playback ended.

Luo Bai's gaze remained firm; he truly knew the answer.

Chapter 719 Soul Dispersion

After the video ended, Luo Bai remained motionless for a long time, staring blankly at the wall.

The researcher Bai's words echoed in his mind, especially that terrible prophecy - a new 003 was about to appear, more threatening than any previous cataclysmic event.

There was still one point that had been puzzling him and that he hadn't figured out.

It is said that researcher Bai is the promoter of dueling, and the first chapter of "Duel Fairy Tale" [The First Duel] should also be based on him.

This raises a question.

If that was truly the first duel, then—

Where did the Reptile Fairy's Duel Disk come from?

Who set the rules for the first duel?

He was only a teenager at the time, and when he stumbled into the snake cave, he was completely bewildered. The origin of the Duel Disk, which set the rules of the duel, was definitely not related to him. Strangely, there was no record of the Duel Disk before 568.

There is only one explanation—the Big Bang of Divine Will.

It's not a time jump of one hundred years, but rather a normal passage of one hundred years; it's just that the survivors have forgotten what happened during those hundred years.

This century is a blank period in history, during which duels may have occurred.

What might have happened, or what might have happened, caused the Divine Tree Star to explode in a state of shock, leaving behind only the Duel Disk, ruins, guardian statues, and legendary creatures.

Captain Bai Jing is not only a survivor, but also retains a hundred years of memories, yet she is treated as a madman.

Luo Bai sighed, shook his head, and forcibly shook the chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

He stood up and rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, trying to crush all his troubles.

This truth is something most people simply cannot withstand.

"Forget it, let the later generations be bothered." Luo Bai couldn't think it through and gave up on treatment.

"Let's go!"

He called out to Tony, who was wandering around, then turned and left the monitoring darkroom, going into his own darkroom.

As soon as Luo Bai stepped into his darkroom, the motion-sensor lights automatically turned on, illuminating the futuristic space.

Several silver robots stood in the center of the room, their eyes lighting up as they sensed the arrival of the newcomer.

Rows of culture tanks along the wall emitted a faint blue light, inside which floated strange biological tissues. Among them, a beautiful mermaid slept peacefully, her long hair swaying gently in the water, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Please issue the instructions.

A robot slowly approached, uttering a cold voice.
