Card Maker: My Cards Have Unlimited Chains

Above the Heavenly Gate, the boundary between the real world and chaos is blurred.

After hearing what Yuan Xu said, Yu Cang couldn't help but fall into shock.

The entry recorder...is it his own talent...

Moreover, he is not the only one. Yuanxu in front of him also possesses an "entry recorder"!

No, maybe his is not called an entry recorder, but something else.

Yu Cang had heard from Xingchen that billions of years ago, the sixteenth ruler of the Nameless Empire was named "Huanzhou Eyutianola".

It was this heroic lord who created the technology to create and manipulate spirit particles.

Before him, the main ability of the Nameless Empire was to directly manipulate the insects to fight. It was also after Huanzhou that the technology of the Nameless Empire began to advance rapidly.

Therefore, Huanzhou is the most important monarch of the Nameless Empire, and his name directly becomes the middle name of the royal family of the Nameless Empire.

Just like now, Stardust's full name is "Stardust·Universe·Eyutianola".

But Xingchen also once said... In fact, according to unofficial historical records, when the spiritual technology was first being improved on a large scale, the one who contributed the most was not Huanzhou himself, but his younger brother - Yuanxu in front of him!

At that time, Yuanxu's reputation was unparalleled, and his achievements in all aspects far surpassed his brother's. But for some reason, in the end, he did not choose to become the monarch of the Nameless Empire, but gave this position to Huanzhou.

Then, he threw himself directly into Chaos and no longer cared about the affairs of the Nameless Empire.

Hundreds of millions of years later, Huanzhou committed suicide out of boredom and became a celestial body. The Nameless Empire had a new king, and Yuanxu... stayed outside the chaos.

Before the outbreak of Huang, the Nameless Empire had also conducted some transactions with Yuanxu and Chaos Cloud based on this relationship, but due to the particularity of Chaos Cloud, it did not.

After all, such a long time has passed, and the relationship between Yuanxu and the Nameless Empire can no longer be considered close.

These were the interesting stories about the Nameless Empire that Xingchen shared with him. At the time, he just listened to them as stories. After all, they were unofficial history.

Xingchen said that Yuanxu's life experience seemed to be related to some secrets of the Nameless Empire, so there were no overly detailed records, only some hearsay information.

And now it seems...

Isn’t everything Yuanxu did very similar to himself?

Use your own strength to promote the progress of the entire civilization!

In the era of Yuanxu, the civilization of the Nameless Empire was still very immature, and the ruling leader had only been there for sixteen generations. It had not been that long at all... Even at that time, it was still unclear whether it had been chosen by the Imperial Star to become the "dominant civilization."

And at that time, even the entire star realm had only just entered a new era not long ago.

At this time, the birth of super-model technology such as the spirit particle is quite unreasonable... Even if the basis of the spirit particle is the core of the civilization of the previous era, "insect recognition", it is still the same!

Normally, this kind of technology would have to go through countless generations of iterations before it could be born, but Yuanxu relied almost entirely on itself.

Isn't this just like yourself?

He used the entry recorder to promote the development of the entire soul card system, and Yuanxu was doing exactly the same thing.

Looking at the current situation and Yuanxu's confident look, what he relies on is probably the imaginary palace behind him.

...Oh no.

Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

Then he raised his head and looked towards Yuanxu.

"You mean, the chaotic creation called the Imaginary Palace is your talent?"

"Don't you understand?"

Yuanxu didn't seem surprised.

He answered:

"Yu Cang, in your eyes, what is a chaotic creation?"

Yu Cang: "...Is it an indigenous soul born in chaos?"

This is how he has always understood it.

And the chaotic creations he saw all fit this definition.

Most of the chaotic creatures don't have very good brains and are in a daze for a long time.

Even the strongest among them, the one who created the original astral world, was not very smart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been obsessed with an illusory mother for so long, and in the end, he wouldn't have had his real name deceived by Dixing.

Facing Cang's answer, Yuanxu seemed to smile.

"Really? Then, how do you define chaos?"

"Chaos is outside the star realm..." Having said this, Yu Cang suddenly paused.

Outside the star realm, there is naturally chaos.

He has always believed so.

This definition is also very appropriate.

But this is defined from the perspective of a person in the astral realm.

What if we expand our perspective and look at it from a broader scale?

That almost infinite starry sky is just a corner of chaos.

It is nothing more than... the body of a certain chaotic creature born in the chaos...

In the past, in Yu Cang's cognition, those chaotic clouds were "expelled into" the chaos and shattered after the small world in the star realm was destroyed.

Because of this, Chaos Mist is an extremely abundant resource. If you master Chaos Mist, you can create something out of nothing... However, this perception is confusing cause and effect.

This is because all things in the star realm were originally created by the chaos mist, and only after its destruction can it turn back into chaos mist.

From this perspective, perhaps the chaotic mist has never changed. From cloud to cloud, the form of all things in the starry sky in between is just a state of the chaotic mist.

Just as water sublimates into fog and fog falls back into water, fog is just a state of water and there is no essential difference.

From this perspective, the star realm he lives in is itself... a part of chaos...

What do you mean by “chaotic creatures are natives born in chaos”? Isn’t the astral plane chaos itself?

Before, the reason why chaotic creatures could not enter the astral plane was simply because of the malice of the world - that is, the will left over from the original creation.

At its core, this kind of will is just like the human "immune system", which instinctively resists all outsiders.

So, what Yuanxu meant was...

Yu Cang narrowed his eyes.

Are I and Yuanxu the chaotic creations born in the astral world?

This made him look behind him at the huge chaotic creature guarding Xi Li's name.

According to this logic, it seems that this can also explain how that big guy came about.

Maybe Xili is also a similar existence?

As if he knew what Yu Cang was thinking, Yuan Xu said:

"Don't look at him, he's different - he's just a guy named Dixing, doing a poor imitation of me."

Yu Cang: "...Were you looking at Lan Xing at that time?"

"That's not the case. I've only been paying attention to Blue Star for about half a year. It's just that for me, many things are clear at a glance. Yu Cang, you will be the same."

Yu Cang calmed himself down.

Then he said: "So what you mean is... In fact, we are all creatures of chaos?"

"Yes and no." Yuanxu opened his hands and said, "Yu Cang, 'Chaos Creation' is the ability to move forward, and it is also the light that can be given to others. We have light, and we can use it to protect our kind - you have seen Ran Zhi, what do you think is the principle of my immortal secret method?"

Yu Cang: “…I don’t know.”

"Just as the original created the primordial celestial bodies, I also created them - but, Yu Cang, I failed."

Having said this, Yuanxu paused.

His expression seemed to fluctuate. After a long silence, he said:

"When I was still in the astral world, I had already discovered the existence of Huang and realized the essence of the original. So, after everything was ready, I took that step - I went to Chaos, where I would complete my 'creation' as a creature of Chaos.

“I wanted to use this new world as a paradise to protect my kind and lead them out of the cycle of eras, but... I thought all this was too easy.

"What Creation requires is too much and too comprehensive. I tried my best but still couldn't make up for it. I thought I had prepared enough, but my talent limited my thinking."

Yuanxu let out a long sigh.

"So, I can only give them this deformed immortality in the chaos, but I can't give them the true reincarnation of life."

After hearing this, Yu Cang understood everything.

Yuanxu is a failed creator.

Just as he said, the imaginary palace behind him was grand, immortal, and vast. It could accommodate countless souls in the chaos and provide them with an anchor and sustenance for their lives - that is, the secret of immortality.

But, after all, it is not a truly complete world, it is just a defective product.

After shaping oneself with this immortal secret method, the emotions, desires, and everything else at that moment will be frozen forever. From then on, no matter how chaos dissipates, it will not diminish in the slightest.

But, it won’t increase by even a single point.

The soul turned into a lifeless fragment... It seemed a bit like Tai Hina who was trapped in a loop.

In chaos, desire and obsession are necessary for survival, but if these are all there are, then there is no difference between this and death.

So...how did the soul come from?

In the beginning, a being so great that it was beyond words opened its eyes in the chaos and created a world at the same time.

Then, He divided His wisdom to form the original celestial bodies and living beings.

Wisdom and memory cannot exist in chaos. Only by wrapping themselves in the cloak of obsession can they enter chaos, but they will also be gradually eroded.

According to Yuanxu's theory, the original celestial bodies and living creatures created by the original are also a kind of "chaotic creation", but they do not have the "upward ability" and cannot protect their own kind.

While Yu Cang was thinking, Yuan Xu said:

"Yu Cang, I noticed you when you first opened up a passage from the world of consciousness to the Primal Chaos. At that time, I just thought you were the same as me, but now it seems that your talent is greater than mine. What I have not accomplished, perhaps you can accomplish."

The starry sky vision is the original "memory".

Generally speaking, it will not border on chaos.

This is because chaos will wear away memory. No matter how much the original has misunderstood itself, it will definitely bury its memory deeply in the deepest place away from chaos.

Anyone who can open up a channel to chaos from the starry sky vision must be an exception among exceptions. Not only must he have sufficient understanding of chaos and the astral realm, he must also have received the original favor and permission.

The only person who can do this must be someone like Yuanxu.

However, at that time, he could only sense it, and could not accurately locate Yu Cang, nor could he judge Yu Cang's level.

They could only send out other souls to search for Yu Cang in the chaos in a blanket manner.

When Ran Zhi met Yu Cang for the first time, Yuan Xu had already noticed Yu Cang's existence - after all, the relationship between Ran Zhi and Yuan Xu was the relationship between the original celestial body and the origin. They had a very deep binding relationship. Even if Ran Zhi wanted to hide it, there was no way to succeed.

If Ran Zhi saw Yu Cang, it meant that Yuan Xu also saw Yu Cang.

But, at that time, Yuanxu did not act rashly.

He first hid in the dark and observed Cang with the help of Ran Zhi.

After all, he also knew that as a supreme being, if he appeared rashly, he would definitely scare Yu Cang. With Yu Cang's strength, it was too early for him to come into contact with a being like himself.

This sight really made him secretly frightened.

Yu Cang’s talent is terrifyingly good.

His Imaginary Palace looked as immature as a child in front of Yu Cang's entry recorder. At that moment he knew that Yu Cang's upper limit was definitely far higher than his own, and perhaps, he could accomplish what he had not done.

He has been watching until now, and finally chose to come forward and meet Yu Cang at this time.

Yu Cang: "...I have a question."

"You said."

"You...are also the 'Original Young Brother'?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xu was stunned.

Then, he laughed and said, "I understand this title... but I'm not... When I realized the existence of the Original One, I once asked Him for help, but He didn't respond to me. Maybe... my talent is not enough to be recognized by the Original One."

Yu Cang: "Is that so..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then - why did you want to meet me today?"

Yuan Xu nodded gently, with no intention of hiding anything: "Of course I have a request of yours."

"...Do you want me to complete the creation of the world?"

"Of course." Yuanxu paused, and then said, "In the beginning, there were many people who followed me to leave the star realm, but now they can no longer withstand the erosion of time. Now there is only one person left by my side, but even if it is just one person, I will be responsible for him.

"Creating the world is not without cost. I can no longer return to the astral world, nor can I start over as a normal person. Therefore, I can only rely on the later generation - that is, you, to create a real world to accommodate us."

Yu Cang's eyes flickered: "Since you said that creating the world requires a price, how can you be sure that I will do it?"

In response, Yuanxu just smiled:

"Of course you will, because we are of the same kind - Yu Cang, will you disappoint the expectations of your kind and your people?"

Yu Cang: "..."

indeed.

He will not.
