My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 537 How Can I Be Resurrected?

The red-haired woman muttered to herself, "Speaking of which, Xing Lun is one of our key targets. He seems to be undergoing a tribulation, and he most likely won't survive it... The Great Emperor should lend a hand, but I wonder who he'll send..."

"Key targets?"

Zhou Nan had previously heard the red-haired woman say that she wasn't a primary focus of attention, which piqued his curiosity. Could it be that the Dragon Slaying Empire or the time travelers had been monitoring the Card World all along? And had even identified a primary focus of attention?

As for himself, it seems that they don't care about him.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Nan wrote down a large poster: "I will try to find a cell sample of the Star Wheel for you, perhaps soon..."

"If you really manage to get your hands on a Star Wheel cell sample, I'll give you another vial of Super Biochemical Tyrant Virus Culture Medium, which will guarantee to take your physique to the next level."

Zhou Nan nodded, and was about to leave when he paused, quickly wrote another big-character poster.

"Are you a time traveler?" The red-haired woman squinted and read the words aloud. "Well, I guess so. To be precise, I'm on a business trip right now, with official duties to attend to."

"Do you know the cosmic genius Zhen Dejun...? Yeah, you're such a fool, and you think you're so great about yourself!"

"He's trapped and can't escape on his own. He asked us to send a message to the time traveler of the Dragon Slayer Empire so they could rescue him... Just ignore him. That guy's out of his mind. Someone will come to his rescue when it's time!"

"Do you know Unicron? ...Yes, I do. He's an almost inconceivable being, and could be considered a supreme divine being."

"You seem to have said before that you can't scientifically resurrect me. How can I be resurrected? ... This is a universal problem. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a lesson. Although your foundation is too shallow and you're not the Empire's main focus, who knows, you might have some kind of fortuitous encounter in the future and become famous overnight... Listen carefully."

The red-haired woman put away the yarn and said leisurely, "In my Dragon Slaying Empire, the Xuan Tian school reigns supreme, and metaphysics flourishes. However, we also reign supreme in the scientific field. A group of top scientists, led by Dr. Elpha, the Time Lord, possess strength comparable to the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Nine Heavens. Yet, countless scientific experiments have proven that humans cannot be created through simple scientific means. The theoretical concept of clones cannot actually be born. Within my empire, there is a general consensus that the essence of life is three souls and seven spirits!"

"The Heavenly and Earthly Souls are always outside, while the Life Soul resides within the body. The Heavenly Soul enters the void, while the Earthly Soul hides in the netherworld. There are gods three feet above your head, and these gods are the Heavenly Soul. When the Heavenly Soul wanders in the void, it is dreaming. The Earthly Soul is the shadow, which governs the lifespan. When the Heavenly and Earthly Souls reunite, the Life Soul is formed. The Life Soul gives rise to the Seven Spirits. Only when the Three Souls and Seven Spirits are complete is a person complete. Only when the Soul flies away and the Spirits scatter is true death..."

"Generally speaking, the seven souls are easily scattered, and the life soul is easily lost, while the celestial soul resides in the void and endures for a long time. Therefore, as long as one's lifespan is not exhausted and the earth soul is not scattered, there is still a possibility of resurrection. There is a phantom god realm in the starry sky, where there is a giant dragon of the yang god. With a roar, it can search the void, summon the celestial soul, summon the nine netherworlds, and command the earth soul, easily resurrecting the dead. We do not possess that kind of power of law, so it is very difficult for us to resurrect the dead..."

"Take you as an example. You were originally a celestial soul trapped in this void, sealed as a card. I forcibly dismantled that card and created a body for you, giving your celestial soul a place to reside, which is equivalent to your life soul being present. However, I cannot bring your earth soul back, so you are not truly alive. Ultimately, you can only be trapped in this void, seemingly alive under the rules of the card... If you want true resurrection, you may need to ask the people of the Illusionary God Realm for help..."

"The Realm of Illusions and Gods".

Zhou Nan silently memorized the name.

"Compared to resurrection, reincarnation is much easier. It will simply create a brand new Earth Soul for you. However, in that case, you will no longer be the original you... Actually, this void is quite interesting. You should know that this void was created by a spaceship, right? The spaceship's control program has become sentient; it can actually imprison and create Heavenly Souls, and it even invented card rules to transform into the Heavenly Dao. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao cannot be formed in this way. It is destined to fail because it cannot create Earth Souls, and it cannot imitate the time-space travel method of my realm..."

The red-haired woman continued to talk animatedly, but Zhou Nan couldn't understand what she said after that. He only cared about one thing: if he wanted to truly "come back to life," he guessed he would have to ask someone from the Illusionary God Realm for help.

A moment later, Zhou Nan bowed respectfully to the red-haired woman and withdrew.

He temporarily stopped running the [Seven Realms] dungeon, leaving behind a large sign that read "Intermission" before heading to Bailu Mountain.

Because Black Mountain City is located in Bailu Mountain.

Zhou Nan pondered whether he should enter Black Mountain City and cut off a small piece from the blood cocoon formed by the Holy Ancestor to give to the red-haired woman.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw a blinding light shining from the direction of Black Mountain City. He glanced around and saw Black Mountain City rapidly twisting its body, actually running at full speed.

But soon, a towering, golden-armored giant rose up, his angry eyes like those of a Vajra, and with a single shove of his large hand, he pinned down Black Mountain City.

Exclamation marks were popping up all over Black Mountain City. He twisted and turned on the ground, unable to fly or disappear into the ground, and had no way to escape.

Zhou Nan rushed over and saw a burly black bear-man wearing a long robe standing near Black Mountain City.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a black bear, but a black dog.

The black dog suddenly spotted Zhou Nan, who stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant, and said, "You're the owner of this thing, aren't you? Tell him to open the door!"

"Who are you? How dare you bully my city?"

Zhou Nan's expression turned cold. He quickly wrote a large-character poster and held it up to show it.

The black dog said, "I come from the Dragon-Slaying Empire, here by imperial decree to help someone overcome their tribulation. That person is within this Living City! This person's fate is tied to your realm's destiny. If you attempt to obstruct them, you will bear the consequences!"

Zhou Nan was taken aback upon hearing this. Had he encountered another big shot?

That black dog was also sent down by the Dragon Slayer Empire. He was probably a time traveler as well. He was probably here to help the Holy Ancestor, as the red-haired woman in the mad scientist's laboratory had already mentioned.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I'm a law-abiding citizen, one of our own!"

Zhou Nan quickly wrote another big-character poster, and then ordered the gates of Black Mountain City to be opened.

The black dog strolled into Black Mountain City, saw the blood cocoon formed by the Holy Ancestor, and leisurely took out a lotus flower from its bosom.

The lotus flower shone with seven-colored light, floated in the air, and gradually flew towards the blood cocoon formed by the Holy Ancestor. In the end, it flew into the blood cocoon, making the blood cocoon shine with seven colors.

"I have obeyed the decree and bestowed a Lotus of Life upon this person, which should have helped him reverse his fate and safely overcome this calamity. Please take good care of him. I will ascend immediately and return to the Purple Bamboo Grove to report back!"

The black dog said something to Zhou Nan, and then suddenly disappeared. The huge, angry-looking Vajra that was holding down Black Mountain City also vanished instantly.

Soon, just two or three breaths later, before Zhou Nan could recover, the blood cocoon formed by the Holy Ancestor suddenly emitted a crisp cracking sound, followed by cracks appearing on it, and the number of cracks rapidly increased.
