My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 579 Resurrection

Zhou Nan became a divine being, possessing the divinity of cards, and all cards needed to be reforged.

To be precise, this is an update, which imbues these cards with divine power unique to Zhou Nan.

"Radiant energy transformation allows me to obtain any form of cosmic energy, even space and time. Refining Qi into Divine Power means refining energy into a God of Imagination. The Card Law allows me to create cards using this God of Imagination. The perfect combination of these three elements becomes my divine power! This divine power is unique to me; if others obtain the Holy Sword and the Card Law, they are likely not as strong as I am!"

Zhou Nan understood immediately. He knew that after the cards were reforged and gained his new divine power, a mysterious connection could be established between the cards and himself. In the future, any increase in his strength or expansion of his database would be synchronized to his cards, causing them to change in real time.

At the same time, these cards also update their own database and card collection, which is also a form of self-cultivation for them.

【Nuclear-Powered Swordsman - Zhou Bai】is Zhou Nan's first card to be reforged.

After it flew into Zhou Nan's body, it added a card of the type "Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal" to Zhou Nan's card pool, and automatically divided it into a total of 45 regular cards and 9 black cards of different colors and star ratings.

The 45 regular cards range from one-star white cards to nine-star orange cards, while the nine black cards range from one-star black cards to nine-star black cards.

This is the result of the card's divine nature being automatically calculated. It's clear and straightforward. All types and tiers of Nuclear Power Sword Immortal cards have fixed attributes, so Zhou Nan doesn't need to worry about it at all.

One-star white card has a base of one spoonful of Qi, while nine-star white card has a base of nine spoonfuls of Qi.

A one-star green card has a foundation of one handful of qi, while a nine-star green card has a foundation of nine handfuls of qi, making it approximately thirty times stronger than a white card of the same star.

A one-star blue card has a base strength of one unit of Qi, while a nine-star blue card has a base strength of nine units of Qi. Its strength is approximately 150 times that of a green card of the same star!

A one-star purple card has a foundation of one warehouse of energy, while a nine-star purple card has a foundation of nine warehouses of energy, making it approximately 3000 times stronger than a blue card of the same star!

A one-star orange card's foundation is the Qi of one realm, while a nine-star orange card's foundation is the Qi of nine realms, making its strength approximately nine thousand times that of a blue card of the same star!

Black cards share the same foundation as orange cards, but can have more than four skills.

Before acquiring the divinity of cards, Zhou Nan's card strength had an upper limit. Even when he reached the perfection of the Tathagata Realm, he could only create cards with the foundation of one world's energy. And now, at the early stage of the Tathagata Realm, he can only create cards with the foundation of one thousand warehouses of energy.

The upper limit of "one sip of Qi" that was previously limited by realm restrictions is no longer available, but there is still a maximum upper limit, which is the Nine Realms!

From then on, whenever Zhou Nan had a thought and determined the color, star count, and suffix of the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal card, his body would act like a machine, activating energy transformation and refining, ultimately turning his imagination into a card.

This was something that was impossible before.

Because the Nuclear-Powered Sword Immortal was enhanced by Zhou Nan using real objects, it is unique and not something that Zhou Nan could create solely through his own imagination.

But now, Zhou Nan can.

The only difference is that cards of different tiers take different amounts of time to be created.

In that short time, Zhou Nan immediately realized that, given his current situation, if he were to create a nine-star card of the highest level nuclear-powered sword immortal from scratch, it would take a full 27,000 days, or nearly 74 years!

Because the foundation of the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal is domineering, Zhou Nan can now refine a thousand dou (a unit of volume) every day, which is one-third of the warehouse, while the foundation of the Nine Star Black Card is the Nine Realms, which is nine thousand warehouses!

[Nuclear Power Sword Immortal Zhou Bai] This card can be considered the mother card among the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal cards. Its foundation is 18,000 Dou of Overbearing Qi, which is equivalent to six warehouses. After being reforged, it became a six-star purple card, and its skills were reduced to three, so its strength can be said to have decreased!

However, its growth potential is even higher.

Zhou Nan realized that although he was the Black Card Emperor, he was no longer worthy of the title, because even if he recycled all the domineering energy of all the cards, he could not forge even a one-star black card with the energy of a single realm!

The foundation is far from sufficient.

The cards that were previously at full strength, such as True Greatsword God General, Super Demon Zhou Batian, and other King Overlord True Monarch cards, suffered even worse after being reforged, all becoming one-star purple cards.

Among these cards, the abilities of True Greatsword General, Super Demon Zhou Batian, and Venerable Pudu have been reduced. The other King Overlord cards are not significantly affected, as they only need three skills: [Subduing Heaven and Yellow], [Nine Scales Creation], and [Destroying Divine Halberd].

However, the [Old Dragon King Ao Jiaozhu] with the foundation of three battle qi is only a three-star blue card.

When reforging the [Old Dragon King - Master Ao], Zhou Nan discovered that under the effect of the card's divinity, the speed at which he could create the Old Dragon King card had also increased to the same level as the King Overlord True Monarch card.

That means you can refine a thousand dou of qi per day!

The domineering technique has lost its meaning. With the card's divinity, Zhou Nan is essentially a master of all techniques, having mastered all transformable techniques, with the domineering technique being just one of them.

Therefore, no matter what kind of cards Zhou Nan wants to create, the speed will be the same.

He can create cards out of thin air, arbitrarily setting colors, star ratings, prefixes, and suffixes, and then let his body automatically generate cards. The attributes are calculated entirely by his divine power. He can also call upon the master cards in the card library and create cards according to their attribute information.

Once the mother card enters the card pool, it can activate divine power to break the card skills, allowing Zhou Nan's body to automatically transform and ultimately form card abilities.

This master card is not limited to cards created by Zhou Nan himself; cards synthesized using the [Black Card Synthesis] method in the past can also be used!

This discovery thrilled Zhou Nan, because the cards he had synthesized before might now become real cards.

However, some cards have such outrageous abilities that they may not be able to be perfectly replicated. After all, the divinity of cards relies on Qigong, transformation, and card laws. Some skills that cannot be generated by transformation probably cannot be made real. Zhou Nan's body will automatically calculate what such cards would look like.

For example, a card like the Panda Poet Immortal, which grants a buff simply by reciting poetry, thus enhancing the overall combat power of the army, is probably impossible to create.

There are also some cards with aura powers, but it's unlikely they'll be replicated as real cards.

"With this card's divinity, perhaps I should meet with the core, or at least copy its database to expand my card collection!"

Zhou Nan had some understanding, but there was no rush. His own card collection was already enough for him. He only hoped to create as many black cards as possible before the real Cosmic Emperor descended.

Time passed, and Zhou Nan sat cross-legged, the divine power of the cards within his body circulating, constantly increasing his foundation.

Since it is currently impossible to create gold and black cards, the peripheral industry is making every effort to create nine-star purple cards.

Zhou Nan would collect cards such as Guang Chengzi, Yun Zhongzi, and Taiyi Zhenren, and use their energy to replenish cards like the Nuclear Power Sword Immortal.

Half a day later, 27 of the 42 King of Hegemon cards were used, and Zhou Nan upgraded [Nuclear Power Sword Immortal - Zhou Bai] to a nine-star purple card, reaching its strongest form.

Zhou Nan also upgraded the True Great Sword God General, the Super Demon Zhou Batian, and the Venerable Pudu Zhou Yinxiang to nine-star purple cards.

There are 15 King Overlord True Monarch cards left, which Zhou Nan will keep for the time being.

Later, Zhou Nan began to create Old Dragon King cards based on the original card game character, [Old Dragon King Ao Jiaozhu].

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Nan created the white-card-level 【Old Dragon King】. This card has no skills.

In less than half a minute, the Green Card Old Dragon King card was added to Zhou Nan's card pool. Its skill was [Top Player]. Judging from the skill description, it was similar to the original Old Dragon King card. In short, it had superb martial arts skills and could perform two attack effects: [Acupoint Strike] and [Kidney Strike]. However, it could not perform other effects such as [Immobilize] and [Transformation].

Three minutes later, the blue-level Old Dragon King card was added to Zhou Nan's card pool. The card gained a new skill, which was [Super Escape Technique]. According to the skill description, the Old Dragon King's escape technique can not only escape into the air, but also into water, fire, earth, etc. Each use consumes a spoonful of energy, but there is a cooldown period, so it can be used consecutively.

Three days later, the purple-level Old Dragon King card was added to Zhou Nan's card collection. The skill [Super Clone] was also deciphered by the card's divinity. With this skill, the Old Dragon King can instantly create multiple clones, but the clones will share the Old Dragon King's essence.

Zhou Nan was very satisfied with this, and thought to himself that the card rule was indeed very useful.

Twenty-four days later, Zhou Nan created the nine-star purple card [Old Dragon King Ao Jiaozhu].

With this, Zhou Nan's main deck has gained another card, bringing his total to five nine-star purple cards and fifteen one-star purple cards.

At that very moment, in the sky above the world of Investiture of the Gods, amidst the dense and heavy chaotic clouds, thunder suddenly resounded, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring everywhere, as if the entire sky was about to collapse.

Wu Tian opened his eyes and said, "They've arrived!"

Xinglun laughed heartily, stood up, looked up at the sky, and said, "Well done!"

Zhou Nan also opened his eyes, his black imperial robe fluttering, and the imperial sword at his waist emitted a sword hum.

"Unicron, a being approaching supreme divinity..."

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhou Nan revealed 19 purple cards behind him.

He had a slight regret: his foundation was still too weak, and he was unable to create the Black Cards before the arrival of the Cosmic Emperor.

If given enough time, even if he were merely a divine being, inferior in divine power to the supreme deity Unicron, he was confident he could eliminate him.

The older the card, the more powerful it is!

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time...

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble, and suddenly a huge roar like rolling thunder resounded.

The roar was so powerful that it caused the chaotic clouds above the Investiture of the Gods world to collapse, and countless golden rays of light poured down. Zhou Nan looked up and was astonished.

He witnessed an incredibly awe-inspiring scene.

In that scene, there was a divine dragon, boundless and enormous, sacred and majestic, swimming across the starry sky.

That divine dragon was some unknown distance away. It was enormous, its entire body cast in gold, seemingly so large that even a universe could not contain it. Around it were countless galaxies, galaxies, and seas of stars...

It seems that even a single scale of that dragon is much larger than the largest galaxy.

Wu Tian and Xing Lun were also stunned by what they had just witnessed, remaining speechless in a daze.

In fact, at this very moment, not only in this world of gods, but also in the civilized zone of the council airship, in the human card world, in all thirty-three civilization worlds, and in the fantasy world of the chaotic void, all players can see the incomparably sacred dragon simply by looking up.

All the players were shaken to their core upon seeing the divine dragon. No one spoke, no one discussed, they were all stunned.

Then a voice suddenly rang out: "The Yang spirit has arrived, souls return! Those who are resurrected, hear the dragon's roar!"

"It's the voice of the Venerable One from Illusionary God Island."

Zhou Nan recognized the voice, and his mind was shaken even more.

He realized that the divine dragon that covered the starry sky and the universe was the Yang God Dragon, and the dragon's roar summoned the two souls of heaven and earth. The moment of true resurrection had arrived.

With this realization, the Book of Life and Death, which Zhou Nan had placed in the Great Snow Mountain Temple, suddenly flew up, transformed into a stream of light, and instantly pierced through layers of worlds, arriving in front of Zhou Nan.

With a bang, the Book of Life and Death exploded, and a person dressed in ancient black official robes stepped out.

This man had a blue face and fangs, and his appearance bore a six or seven-tenths resemblance to Zhou Nan. In front of him were the words: "Great Ghost Zhou Nan!"

Behind him were also inscriptions: "May you live to be 500!"

This is Zhou Nan's Earth Soul.

The words on his body and behind him represent Zhou Nan's earth soul foundation. Zhou Nan understood it at a glance. Just as the Venerable of Illusion God Island said, even if he set up a temple and had countless people burn incense, worship, and burn paper money, in the end, this foundation was only that of a great ghost, and his lifespan was still five hundred years!

But that's enough!

Zhou Nan suddenly had an epiphany, and a phantom flew out from above his head. It was an imperial crown, a black robe, and a sword. That was his Heavenly Soul, exactly like the image of the Black Card Emperor.

The celestial soul left the body and flew to the vicinity of the terrestrial soul, where the two stood facing each other.

Zhou Nan moved again and called out, "Come!"

Then the two souls of heaven and earth entered Zhou Nan's body. As they completely disappeared, Zhou Nan's mind was shaken, as if he had just woken up from a dream. He had an unprecedented sense of reality, as if he had suddenly stepped ashore from the water.

He seemed to hear a shattering sound, and immediately realized that he had broken free from some kind of restraint and stepped out of a card.

But then, Zhou Nan had another feeling, as if his two souls were about to leave him.

When the two souls reunited and acknowledged each other as life souls, Zhou Nan was resurrected. However, they had to leave again. The two souls of heaven and earth are always outside and do not stay in one place; this is their characteristic.

Just as these two souls were about to leave his body, the divine power within Zhou Nan suddenly took effect, as if a black hole had suddenly appeared in his chest, sucking in these two souls of heaven and earth.

Subsequently, Zhou Nan's body underwent mysterious and unknown changes. He felt as if his realm was improving and his divine power was becoming stronger.

The next moment, the world suddenly changed, and the giant dragon of the Yang God that had appeared earlier suddenly disappeared. Countless people were bewildered, feeling that everything they had just seen was just an illusion.

Zhou Nan stood still, but Wu Tian beside him seemed to notice something. He looked at Zhou Nan, then suddenly cupped his hands and laughed, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, you have transcended the Three Realms and are no longer bound by the Five Elements!"
