Card Maker: My Cards Infinite Chain

Was it successful?

Yu Cang looked at the soul card in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This... from the effect point of view, it is a good soul card. But what Yu Cang wanted to make this card was never a soul card, but to preserve the consciousness of the year.

Judging from the description of this soul card alone, Yu Cang was not sure whether he succeeded.

A mythical soul card with empty attributes, and it seems that this card can exert all its power without being activated. Even the current Yu Cang can use it freely.

Just based on this point, this soul card is undoubtedly very powerful, but if Nian's consciousness dissipates in the process of making the card, it will be meaningless.

That's time.

Time is a colorless current that no one can touch. But this soul card is in it, and the passing time reflects colorful light.

This is undoubtedly beautiful, but Yu Cang has no intention of appreciating it now. He frowned, staring at the soul card, and his perception went deep into it, trying to find some clues left by Nian.

But nothing was gained.

After searching carefully from inside to outside, Yu Cang fell into a long silence.

He pulled his thoughts away from the soul card in front of him and looked at the grassland in front of him - there, there was a high mountain made of wild crystals just now, but now there is nothing.

He was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Failed.

This... How should he tell Chao Ci this news...

When Yu Cang thought of Chao Ci’s seemingly broken expression yesterday, he felt it difficult to face what was going to happen next.

After a long time, Yu Cang let out a long sigh.

He scratched his head and slowly became more determined.

We have to face it... Let's call Chao Ci out first.

He opened the door for descending the chariot and was about to take Chao Ci out, but at this moment, he seemed to see a slight fluctuation in the corner of his eyes.

Um?

He was startled and looked back, but found nothing.

Everything seemed normal... but it wasn't.

Yu Cang focused his attention on his own shadow - or to be more precise, it was not the shadow projected by this secret world, but the shadow projected by the soul card of Past Bubble in the river!

It sounds confusing, but these two shadows are not the same.

The layer of "time" that flowed near the bubble in the past was more like a force existing in another dimension. Yu Cang just saw the light passing through his palms and even the earth, which was enough to prove that it did not interact with the material world.

Similarly, the shadow cast by this layer of time flow is not projected in the material world, but in another dimension.

But now, because the angle happened to be right, the two shadows overlapped. It was precisely because of this that Yu Cang had the opportunity to observe that layer of time projection.

Yu Cang stared at the shadow intently. Did he just see... some living creature in it?

After thinking for a moment, he moved his mind and let the shadows of the past float behind him. The light of time shone from behind him, and his shadow in the light gradually overlapped with the shadow on the ground.

Buzz...

A strange tremor seemed to arise from Yu Cang's heart, and he was a little dazed for a moment. In that shadow, he seemed to see a strange beast.

It has a single horn on its head, just like a unicorn!

Year!

However, the young man, who was supposed to be dressed in bright red, had all the color faded away and was only left in the form of a shadow, blending into Yu Cang's projection of time.

When Yu Cang looked at the projection, Nian's shadow seemed to turn its head slightly and cast a glance at Yu Cang... Yu Cang could not distinguish the emotions in it, he only knew that Nian should be smiling.

In an instant, Yu Cang understood something.

The phantom of the strange beast is exactly the "bubble" maintained when this soul card exists in Yu Cang's card deck!

Now, it is also the place where the remaining consciousness of the years is stored!

While Yu Cang was in a daze, Chao Ci had already come to Yu Cang along the opened door for descending the chariot.

She followed Yu Cang's gaze and naturally saw the young man in the shadow.

Surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes, and a layer of water light covered them. He ran a few steps quickly, trying to touch the bubble of years, but the bubble was just a bubble. Chao Ci passed through the shadows and touched nothing.

For a moment, Chao Ci's eyes were a little confused.

She turned her head: "Yu Cang, this..."

Nian Paoying seemed to sense Chao Ci's presence. He moved in Yu Cang's shadow, getting closer to Chao Ci, but ultimately could not reach him.

Yu Cang already roughly understood what had happened.

"How should I put it... it can be considered a success." Yu Cang said, "Nian's consciousness should be preserved, but now he is just a shadow, visible but untouchable... In essence, he should be similar to the shadow you saw in the desolate crystal yesterday."

It is actually quite cruel to be able to see but not touch or communicate. But for young people, perhaps this is also a luxury.

But, it’s actually not that bad - originally, if Yu Cang had successfully grown into a legend, he might have found a way to resurrect Nian from the Wilderness Crystal. It’s just that now the second Wilderness God is about to be born, and he doesn’t have that much time.

In this way, by preserving Nian's phantom in the form of a soul card, Yu Cang can make a real attempt to resurrect it one day in the future when he is completely sure.

Chao Ci: “…”

She looked at Nian's shadow, and her expression suddenly became complicated.

So that's how it is... As expected, even Yu Cang could not revive a legend from the Wild Crystal.

However, even if this was the only option, she would be content.

Chao Ci was silent for a moment, and then, in the aurora, he transformed into a human form.

She stretched out her hand and touched the bubble that was so close to her, but her fingers could only pass through it and move the air.

However, she could vaguely sense the hazy emotions coming from the bubble, including intimacy, longing, care and comfort.

Through this, she was convinced that Nian did exist here, but just in another dimension.

That's enough.

Chao Ci took a deep breath and hid the tears that were accumulating in his eyes.

She turned to look at Yu Cang:

"Thank you, Yu Cang." She looked very serious, "for meeting my excessive request."

Although it seemed that Yu Cang was the one who offered to help Chao Ci, she was just a little bit arrogant, not indifferent to good or evil.

"I will overcome the obstacles in my heart as soon as possible, surpass the myth, and become your strongest sword!"

Looking at Chao Ci who was surprisingly serious, Yu Cang just smiled lightly.

He walked forward and touched Chao Ci's head: "You are the strongest comrade."

"That kind of little thing, call it what you will."

Chao Ci crossed her arms and didn't resist the pat on the head. She looked at Yu Cang in front of her, the seriousness in her expression gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Actually - based on my understanding of humans, when I was in Feng Yuecangjian, I thought you would let me call you Master."

Yu Cang was stunned: "...Huh?"

"Hmph... If you had asked me to do so then, I would have taught you a lesson. But now—" Chao Ci looked at Yu Cang, his eyes smiling with an inexplicable meaning, "If you want, I can change my mind."

"Ahem..." Yu Cang almost choked, "Isn't this bad? Where is the dignity of the Creator..."

"I am just a mortal spirit now - and it's just a name. I don't mind showing my intimacy with my comrades in front of others." After a pause, Chao Ci continued, "Besides, didn't Ye Lai also call you the master of this body?"

"Forehead……"

Yu Cang tried to construct in his mind a scene where Chao Ci called him master in a serious manner.

It’s so weird… I always feel like something’s not right with the characters.

Let’s just forget it.

Chao Ci should be more accepting of the relationship between them, which is a good thing, and nothing else is necessary.

Seeing Yu Cang's expression of confusion, Chao Ci smiled knowingly.

Then he turned and said: "Anyway, thank you - by the way, what abilities did that child have after becoming a soul card? Can I take a look?"

Yu Cang naturally agreed. As soon as he thought about it, the shadow of the past appeared in front of Chao Ci.

Once the position of the soul card changed, the time projection no longer overlapped with Yu Cang's own shadow, so the shadow of the year disappeared in an instant and disappeared from sight.

However, with previous experience, both Yu Cang and Chao Ci can now vaguely sense the existence of the bubble, but they just can't see it.

This layer of bubble will also play its role in defending Yu Cang from attacks.

Chao Ci took the soul card and began to read the description on it. However, as she read, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

ah?

Is this the ability of the year?

When did this powerful skill appear?

Although this guy's name is Nian, his ability has little to do with time. Only [Chronology Without Changes] may be reflected, but it only touches the edge of time.

The main attribute of the year should be fire. The fire of the year is both violent and represents rebirth. It is the most changeable and contradictory fire.

In Chao Ci's opinion, even if it becomes a spell card, it should be the kind of card that... focuses on killing at ordinary times, and after being activated, it can plant the spark of hope during the death cooldown.

But now, look at these three abilities, which one is related to fire?

How did my child become like this?

"Ahem... Chaoci, this is a necessary change."

Seeing Chao Ci's expression, Yu Cang roughly knew what went wrong.

After all, he didn't extract the entries directly from Nian, but from Nian's Wild Crystal.

Moreover, when implanting the entries, Yu Cang implanted all the entries related to time in order to improve compatibility... and the carrier for implanting the entries was a storage soul card with empty attributes... With all the coincidences added together, it is not surprising that such a soul card could be born.

Yes, although the introduction of this soul card is very mysterious, but... in fact, the essence of this soul card is still a "storage soul card".

A mythical level storage soul card. Looking across the entire Blue Star, no one is more extravagant than Yu Cang.

Chao Ci was silent for a moment, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Never mind... As long as the child survives.

Then, she began to feel curious: "What does this [A Moment of Cutting Gap] mean?"

Cut the time of other substances into it?

Such vague descriptions are rare in soul cards.

Although the void attribute soul card includes time and space, as well as some unconventional abilities, in fact, there are more soul cards of this attribute that are related to space.

There are very few high-level soul cards that can affect time. Even Chao Ci has never heard of many of them. As for mythical ones, there is only one in front of him.

Therefore, she couldn't make any judgment.

"Well, actually, this ability is a 'refrigerator'."

Yu Cang stretched out his hand and pinched the Soul Card into his fingertips. Then, he looked around for a moment and his eyes were fixed on a pile of rubble.

The rubble was not real rubble, but a wild beast living in this secret place, called "Jagged Beast".

Although they were wild beasts, their infection level was very low, their strength was low, and they did not have any complicated desires. They usually liked to bask in the sun on the grassland. Therefore, after Di Changan took over this secret realm, he did not clean them up and left them there.

Yu Cang took the soul card and came to a rugged beast, then stretched out his hand and patted it.

Boom boom...

A series of sounds were heard, and the pile of stones changed and piled up its body, as if trying to intimidate Yu Cang - but it was quite powerless.

Yu Cang said nothing and gently swiped the Soul Card in front of the jagged beast.

Buzz!

I saw that the time turbulence that was originally only visible near the soul card suddenly spread to the side of the jagged beast. The next second, the entire jagged beast disappeared like a painting being erased from a canvas.

"That's it—" Yu Cang raised the soul card in his hand, "Now, the remaining time of the jagged beast is all recorded in the time recorded on this soul card... In other words, the jagged beast is 'stored' by this card.

"In the [Momentary Cutting Gap], the jagged beasts can move, but time does not flow. If I put a human in it, then even if I release it a hundred years later, its remaining life span will not change.

"In theory, no attack can affect the time in [Momentary Cutting Gap]. However, this state is not invincible - if [Annual Ring Bubble] is punctured, then until the death cooldown ends, the time stored in it cannot be retrieved, and...

"This soul card will absorb the time stored in it to fill the one-year death cooling period. If I don't control it, the existence in it may be drained of time and die."
