Chapter 124 My Connection with the True Lord?
The lingering echo of the system notification sound still resonated in my mind.
Chen You's gaze slowly shifted away from the string of glittering words like "myth," "limited edition," and "unique."
It landed on the two SSR cards I had obtained.
One of them is the one that accidentally appeared out of place: [God of War - Krato].
The Titan on the card wields a giant axe, his muscles bulging, and you can feel his destructive and ferocious aura even through the screen.
"Looks pretty impressive, but..." Chen You pursed his lips.
If this thing were in the hands of other players, they would probably treasure it as a family heirloom.
But after witnessing the true grandeur of a celestial general, this kind of pure muscle-bound hunk has very limited appeal.
Perhaps... I can use it to fool those idiots from the Titan race later?
A rather unorthodox thought flashed through Chen You's mind, and then he looked at another card.
The background of that card is a collapsing starry sea and a blooming pure blue lotus.
The figure on the card, even just a silhouette, exudes an aloofness and cold arrogance that suppresses the three realms.
[Civilization Exclusive Limited Mythical SSR Battle Soul - Erlang Shen Yang Jian]
[Special Form - God of Justice]
Chen You took a deep breath and, with a sense of pilgrimage, opened the detailed attribute panel of the battle spirit.
【Battle Spirit: God of Justice - Yang Jian (One Star)】
[Type: Mythical SSR (Civilization Limited)]
[Level: 20 (varies with player level)]
【Skill 1: Divine Descent (Active) – Summons battle spirits to descend, lasting 1 minute. Cooldown: 60 minutes.】
[Skill 2: Heavenly Eye of the World - ? ? ? (Unlocked)]
[Skill 3: Eight-Nine Arcane Arts - ? ? ? (Unlocked)]
[Skill 4: Manifestation of Heaven and Earth - ? ? ? (Unlocked)]
[Star-up Requirements: 1 SSR Battle Soul of the same name]
……
The panel information is simple and straightforward, with a series of question marks exuding the sophistication befitting a myth.
However, Chen You's brows furrowed slightly when he saw the description of [Skill One].
"Lasts for 1 minute? One hour cooldown?"
He muttered to himself, the extreme elation in his heart quickly cooling down as if doused with a bucket of cold water.
This... isn't a permanent group of henchmen or followers?
Is it more like a time-limited, explosive ultimate move?
Chen You suddenly had a bad feeling.
He recalled the phantom of the True Lord summoned by the "Immortal Throne" atop the White Jade Capital.
The liveliness and majesty in his eyes made him seem like a true deity who had crossed over from another realm.
Could this battle spirit be something like that?
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
Without hesitation, Chen You equipped the [Battle Soul - Yang Jian] into the newly added Battle Soul slot.
Instantly, a brand new icon appeared in his skill bar, radiating golden light and surrounded by divine runes—[Divine Might Descends].
"Divine power descends from the heavens!"
Chen You shouted in a deep voice, pressing his mind heavily onto the icon!
Om-!
A golden divine light descended from the heavens and condensed before him.
He was tall and imposing, with a cold and aloof expression, and his vertical eye on his forehead was tightly closed.
The three-pointed, double-edged sword was held diagonally in the hand, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.
It was none other than Erlang Shen, the True Lord!
However, the expectation on Chen You's face froze completely the moment they met eyes.
Like.
so similar.
His clothing, appearance, and even his aloof and unapproachable demeanor were exactly the same as the True Lord from the White Jade Capital in my memory.
But... it's ultimately different.
The eyes of the "Yang Jian" statue in front of me are empty.
Those phoenix eyes were devoid of any spirit, like the finest doll, possessing only form but no soul.
He hovered silently in front of Chen You, like an emotionless sculpture, awaiting instructions.
It has lost that supreme divine charm that penetrates eternity and judges cause and effect.
"As expected... it's a knock-off."
Chen You's last glimmer of hope shattered, and he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.
He got it.
The battle spirits obtained through the system's gacha system are essentially just super combat units that players can control, a data puppet.
The one summoned by the "Throne of Immortals" last time was probably a projection of the "true form" in some sense.
It is a true myth that can only be invoked after being deeply bound to the destiny of Chinese civilization!
One is a top-tier fighter in the game, and the other is a true immortal in mythology.
Worlds apart!
Chen You shook his head. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he was not in despair.
Even if it's just a data puppet, it's still a puppet modeled after "Yang Jian"!
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; its strength is absolutely unquestionable.
A one-minute window of opportunity is enough to handle the vast majority of crises.
His gaze returned to the War Soul's attribute panel, landing on the glaring line of [Star-up Requirements].
To reach the highest five-star rating, you need a total of five more [Battle Soul - Yang Jian]?
The minimum guarantee is 9,800 gold coins.
Five...that's 49,000 gold coins!
Chen You's eye twitched slightly.
"We need to ask Director Li for more money."
Moreover, he felt there was something fishy about the matter.
The Immortal Throne summoned Erlang Shen, and in return, the Battle Soul gave away a limited SSR Erlang Shen.
Is this a coincidence?
With this in mind, Chen You lost all interest in studying this "high-quality replica" Erlang Shen.
With a thought, the Yang Jian battle spirit before him paused for a moment, then transformed into countless specks of light and vanished without a trace.
"Go back to Bai Yujing."
Without pausing, he went straight into the guild territory.
With a flash of light, Chen You's figure disappeared.
……
In the real world, deep in the Qinling Mountains.
Bai Yujing, Central Command Center.
This place is no longer an empty celestial palace, but has been transformed into a strategic command center full of futuristic technology.
Top experts from various fields are rushing around, and countless data streams are refreshing like a waterfall on the light screen.
Chen You's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Chen You, who looked as if he were wearing the starry sky.
But it was only for a moment.
"Comrade Chen You!"
"Little Chen is here!"
Li Guoan, Zhang Yunhai, and several elderly experts in white coats with gray hair all turned their gazes toward Chen You the instant he stepped into the command room.
Before Li Guoan could speak, Chen You began to recount his experience in the game in detail.
Finally, he added some of his own guesses.
"I feel like they're completely different." Chen You's tone was somewhat complicated.
"This battle spirit is more like a data puppet, completely different from the one that descended when we were defending the city that day."
"I see……"
Li Guoan nodded slowly, his expression remaining largely unchanged, as if the result was not unexpected.
He didn't comfort anyone, nor did he show any disappointment. He simply turned calmly to a figure in the corner frantically typing on a keyboard in front of a screen.
"Sun Feng."
"exist!"
Sun Feng, the head of the data analysis team, suddenly stood up and pushed up his thick glasses.
"Have you analyzed the data model regarding the special energy units summoned by the 'Immortal Throne' during the defense of Baiyujing?" Li Guoan asked.
"Reporting to the Director! The preliminary model has been established!" Sun Feng's voice carried a hint of excitement characteristic of researchers.
"Its energy structure is completely different from any known monster, NPC, or even building unit in our database!"
"Let's analyze the energy model we captured when that 'True Lord' descended."
"It...it's irrational; its very existence distorts and obliterates the surrounding laws!"
"It's not part of the 'Source Realm' system, it's more like..."
"A will from a higher dimension forcibly patched its own element into the 'Source Realm' program!"
Sun Feng took a deep breath, as if what he was about to say would exhaust all his strength.
"Moreover, the energy model of that 'True Lord' shows more than 79.4%...homogeneity with Comrade Chen You's energy model in terms of its core logic."
