My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 571 Three Hundred Years

On Mount Chiyang, the Nuclear-Powered Sword Immortal had already returned. He had killed yet another Imaginary Universe Emperor and brought back one million God-Demon Coins.

Zhou Nan did not recall the nuclear-powered sword immortal; instead, he sent him away from Chiyang Mountain to kill more imaginary universe emperors.

Moreover, Zhou Nan also dispatched the True Greatsword God General, with the aim of killing the Imaginary Universe Emperor.

The True Greatsword God is Zhou Nan's highly anticipated melee fighter. It has the martial soul imprint of a Great Completion Martial King as its foundation, and its upper limit is no lower than that of the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal. It should have no problem killing the Imaginary Universe Emperor in a single battle.

As for the colossal demon Zhou Batian, Zhou Nan designated him as a tank. He possessed the two divine attributes of immortality and evolution, so his tankiness was not an issue, but his attack power was somewhat lacking. Therefore, Zhou Nan did not send him out.

"The Imaginary Universe Emperor must be a super boss set up by the core to test the Holy Sword players. If I kill them all, the core should be able to see my strength... That Holy Sword is of great use to me; it can help me embark on the path of a card warrior. I must obtain it. For this, I can become the ruler of this world of gods!"

After a moment's thought, Zhou Nan quickly returned to a meditative state.

Day after day, year after year.

The war between the Lich Kingdom and the Lich Kingdom has never stopped, and more and more experts have been drawn into it. Strangely, whenever one country is at a disadvantage, a strong person will always come to the rescue and support it, thus strengthening the camp and keeping the strength between the experts of the two countries in a delicate balance.

The experts who came to the rescue included Cihang Daoren, Huanglong Zhenren, Yun Zhongzi, Chijingzi, and so on. This led many human players who knew about "Investiture of the Gods" to speculate that it was a system setting, and they were happy to throw themselves into this seemingly endless vortex of war.

Later, the Four Demon Generals, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit, Wuyun Xian, Zhao Gongming, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, and Duobao Daoren all emerged and joined the war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

What puzzles human players is that the characters they are familiar with from the historical novels do not distinguish between the Chan and Jie sects, and their methods are very similar.

As time passed, atop Mount Chiyang, Zhou Nan opened his eyes, ending a period of cultivation.

More than a hundred years had passed since Zhou Nan first achieved the separation of his primordial spirit from his body.

Over the past hundred years, many powerful figures who have appeared in the world of Investiture of the Gods, such as Daoist Duobao and Holy Mother Jinling, are all figments of Zhou Nan's imagination.

They are now the backbone of the Lich Kingdom and the Lich Kingdom. To put it bluntly, if Zhou Nan wanted, he could put an end to the Lich War in an instant.

"The Twelve Golden Immortals, Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, plus the Four Demon Generals, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit, Wuyun Xian, Zhao Gongming, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, and Duobao Daoren, I now have as many as 27 imaginary gods involved in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King. If you add the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal, the True Great Sword God General, the Super Demon, the Venerable of Universal Salvation, and the Mountain Guardian, I now have a total of 32 imaginary gods at their peak..."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Nan stood up and waved his hand, causing golden light to pave the way all the way down the mountain.

We have distinguished guests visiting today.

Two burly men in golden armor rode the Mighty Bull Demon King.

They were indeed Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong.

At the foot of Crimson Flame Mountain, the two-headed demon lizard player, the deep-sea demon god Tu Sanjia, the living zombie king Qiang, and the white-browed old monk Yuanzheng had all left decades ago.

The mountain guardian, the mountain god of Chiyang Mountain, the little fairy of flying bear, and the fairy of jade maiden were still there. The latter three had come to regard themselves as part of Chiyang Mountain. When they saw the golden road descending from the mountaintop, they understood and went forward to welcome the two brothers of the Xiao family, leading the oxen and guiding them the way.

A moment later, Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong arrived at the top of Chiyang Mountain.

They came to say goodbye.

Over a hundred years have passed, and they have seen enough of the scenery in the world of Investiture of the Gods. They are tired of it and plan to leave to explore other parts of the fantasy world.

Zhou Nan rose to see them off, accompanying them all the way out of the Time Mist.

These two left Zhou Nan with quite a few gifts, the most of which were God and Demon Coins, totaling a full 9.6 billion!

These two have earned too many God and Demon Coins, yet they claim to have no interest in them whatsoever. They can't possibly use them all, and they all end up benefiting Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan gladly accepted.

In fact, over the past hundred years, he has accumulated a considerable amount of God and Demon Coins. Every time the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal and the True Great Sword God General kill a Universe Emperor of the Imagination, they bring back 1 million God and Demon Coins. Over the past hundred years, they have killed more than 3,000 of them, which has already accumulated 3 billion God and Demon Coins for Zhou Nan.

After seeing off the two powerful guards of Illusion God Island, Zhou Nan returned to Crimson Sun Mountain, gazed into the void, and muttered to himself, "Let this war between the Lich King and the Demon King come to an end."

As soon as he had a thought, the gods of imagination scattered throughout the world of Investiture of the Gods sensed it.

After that day, experts from both the Lich and Demon kingdoms gathered and suddenly began a decisive battle to the death.

Players kept appearing on the Investiture of the Gods platform.

They were all fallen soldiers in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King. After appearing on the Investiture of the Gods platform, they all beat their chests and sighed deeply.

A month later, all the masters of the Lich Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom were killed. It is said that in the final battle, the 27 strongest people of the Lich Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom, including Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Guangchengzi, and Cihang Daoren, engaged in a melee and eventually perished together.

Of course, that's not the case.

What ordinary people don't know is that after the final battle, all 27 masters came to Chiyang Mountain. They bowed to Zhou Nan, then turned into cards and flew back to Zhou Nan's forehead.

It also brought Zhou Nan more than 50 billion God and Demon Coins.

After that, both the Wu and Yao kingdoms were destroyed, and naturally there was no more war between the Wu and Yao. The mortal realm of the Investiture of the Gods world returned to its wild state.

The players who activated the Holy Sword quest, along with the 16 human players secretly trained by Blue Jade Flower, were somewhat bewildered. All they could do was wander around and hunt in the wild.

In the years that followed, other deities appeared, such as the Barefoot Immortal, Bodhi Patriarch, Venus, Princess Iron Fan, and so on.

These deities mostly travel around, hunting down monsters and spirits, and they will also kill some unsuspecting players they encounter.

At the foot of Chiyang Mountain, the mountain keeper guards the mountain; on Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan meditates in seclusion, undisturbed by anyone.

Time flies, and more than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, an announcement resounded throughout the entire world of Fengshen: "The Holy Sword Trial mission is thirty days away. The Fengshen Points Leaderboard is now open for viewing by all players in the Fengshen world."

"Regional Announcement: The Holy Sword quest has entered its final stage, and the challenge mechanism has been activated. Players with lower rankings can challenge players with higher rankings."

"Regional Players: The Core Shop is now open. All items in the Core Shop are genuine treasures from the Core Collection. All players in the Fengshen World can use Divine Demon Coins to purchase these treasures in the Core Shop..."

As the regional announcement was made, a scroll appeared out of thin air in front of Zhou Nan.

The scroll unfolds to reveal the ranking of points in the Investiture of the Gods, with the text gradually appearing.

At this moment, not only did a leaderboard scroll appear in front of Zhou Nan, but all the other players active in the Fengshen world, as well as Lan Caihe and others, also saw the same leaderboard scroll.

"Players from the Gods and Demons factions have dominated the leaderboards!"

"Lan Yuping, a core guard, only has one point? That's incredibly weak!"

"If we don't count Lan Yuping, the Deep Sea Demon God Tu Sanjia has the lowest score among all the God and Demon players, which is a disgrace to civilized God and Demon."

"The talkative dinosaur Zhang Daqian is ranked first, and the second place is quite far behind him. If nothing unexpected happens, the Holy Sword will probably fall into his hands!"

"Both Wu Tian and the Holy Ancestor have zero points. Haven't these two made a move?"

Why are the race information for Wu Tian and Sheng Zu displayed as question marks?

"I originally thought six of my human race members had activated the Holy Sword quest, but now it seems those six were just imposters from the God and Demon factions. How pathetic..."

Players scattered throughout the world of Fengshen looked at the leaderboard and had their own feelings.

To everyone's surprise, the scroll continued to unfold, and after the 30th star wheel, more text continued to appear.

The players were astonished, because the scroll actually showed up to number 89, with Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Yun Zhongzi, Duobao Daoren, and others all on the list. Moreover, starting from number 80, all the players thereafter called him "Wang Ba Zhenjun".

"What's going on?"

Are there really that many players?

Who is Wang Ba Zhenjun?

"Why are characters like Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Nezha, and Yang Jian on the list? Are they also players?"

"Is there something wrong with this list?"

"The Black Card Emperor is ranked 47th, so why is there a 'Mountain Guardian' behind him?"

"So many question marks, what does it mean...?"

Players who saw the leaderboard information were puzzled.

At the summit of Chiyang Mountain, Zhou Nan found it amusing. "What a clever core! It even counts my God of Imagination as a player. They exist because of me, and although they can have self-awareness and personality, they can't be considered Heavenly Souls, right?"

He couldn't figure out why the core reason for creating this ranking list was that he had listed all his own fantasy gods.

In this world of gods and immortals, which has lasted for over 300 years, Zhou Nan now has a total of 46 imaginary gods with full potential, all of whom are on the list. Those with less than one warehouse of potential are not on the list.

Zhou Nan suspected that the reason why Yi Cang, who lacked sufficient resources, did not come to work might be because he had not used his abilities in the world of Investiture of the Gods.

After the Investiture of the Gods was displayed, it disappeared. The next moment, a semi-transparent window popped up in front of Zhou Nan.

That's the interface of the core online store.

There aren't many items in this shop panel, only four in total, but these four items are quite unique, with the most precious being the [True Physical Body].

"I didn't expect the core could also reshape a player's physical body. It seems that reshaping the body requires some real resources, so the core can only reshape the body of 30 players. This thing is quite precious, but the other three items are just average..."

Zhou Nan already possessed a real physical body and had even cultivated the Supreme Bone, achieving the Great Sun Treasure Body. He no longer needed to purchase a [real physical body] from the system. In that short moment, Zhou Nan discovered that the [real physical bodies] had been sold out; they had all been bought!

"Finally, the opportunity to move towards reality has arrived!"

"Having a physical body means it is no longer an imaginary entity!"

"Haha, I got it!"

"We still have some inventory left, so we made a profit this time."

"One million God-Demon Coins? I'm a multi-millionaire!"

At this moment, the thirty players who bought the [real physical body] are overjoyed.

What Zhou Nan didn't know was that among these thirty players were Zhe Yunfei, Jin Liuzun, and Lan Cuihua, and the rest were all among the top thirty players on the Fengshen Points Ranking.

Among the top thirty players, Wu Tian, ​​Xing Lun, and the Dinosaur Emperor Zhang Daqian already possessed real physical bodies.

In other words, the top 32 players on the Fengshen Points Ranking, as well as Lan Cuihua, will all have real physical bodies.

The "real physical body" was not fake. After they purchased it, the core power immediately descended and created a real physical body for them within a minute.

However, his actual physical body was quite ordinary; it was just an ordinary body that resonated with the Heavenly Soul, possessed vitality, but had not undergone any training.

In the fantasy world dominated by the core, this physical body has no drawbacks, allowing players with real physical bodies to unleash their full potential, and making them almost invincible when facing fantasy attacks.

But once you leave the world of fantasy, your physical body will probably become a burden. After all, it is just a mortal body that has not been trained and will naturally not be able to exert extraordinary power.
