My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 601 Come to My Temple

The Lord of the Abyss was very pleased to see the growth of his thirteenth offspring.

She placed high hopes on Zhou Xiaonan, hoping that she could achieve supreme divinity and become the Archangel of the Abyss, the head of the thirteen Abyss Angels, or the King of the Abyss Angels.

"Mother, this is a short-term return; I will soon be back with Father..."

Zhou Xiaonan briefly explained Zhou Nan's request to the Lord of the Abyss, who smiled and nodded, saying, "You may go, but the will of the deep space is not benevolent. If possible, take your twelve older brothers and sisters with you and let them protect you. Also... take the snake dog with you."

The Dragon Slayer Empire has decreed that those above level 800 are not allowed to leave the empire's territory, and therefore cannot enter deep space.

The Abyss Lord's first twelve children were all level 700 divine beings, as was the snake-dog. Their departure from the Empire to the deep space was not considered a violation of the mandate.

"Mother, it doesn't have to be this way!"

Zhou Xiaonan felt that her mother was making a mountain out of a molehill, but the Lord of the Abyss looked serious and said, "There's no room for discussion on this matter. Just do as I say. Actually, Emperor Li Hanqiang, the Dragon Slayer, had already made arrangements. After the black fish in the cloud sea transmitted the information, he went to the Primordial Secret Realm and discussed it with the Time Lord, the Space Lord, and Lord Ling. He then brought out the [Ancient God's Body]. When you go into the deep space again, you can ride on that [Ancient God's Body]."

"The body of an ancient god?"

Zhou Xiaonan frowned slightly. She was still young and didn't know much about the many forces within the Dragon Slaying Empire. She didn't recognize many of them either, such as the Primordial Secret Realm and the body of an ancient god. She knew nothing about them.

The Lord of the Abyss said, "It is said that the ancient god was once a guardian deity, a being of spiritual consciousness. He later perished, and his body was broken and reassembled several times. Now it is a void airship, which is extremely sturdy. Emperor Li Hanqiang, the Dragon Slayer, intends to use it to send some protectors over to the ten gods. It will depart soon. Your brothers and sisters will be the protectors provided by my divine domain space."

"Oh……"

Zhou Xiaonan only understood part of what he was hearing.

"The ancient god's body is just outside Lingxiao City. Your timing in returning is quite perfect. You can act as a guide and lead the ancient god's body through the city, so that those protectors won't have to search for the ten of them."

"Okay, I understand!"

Zhou Xiaonan bowed respectfully and, without lingering any longer, headed straight for Yunluo Mountain to his residence at Yuebaiting.

The Great Sage of the Cloud Sea, Benboerba, had already returned to the Dragon Slayer Empire, bringing back the information Zhou Nan had received from deep space. Now, the Dragon Slayer Empire was also taking action, and all forces were preparing for war, ready to face an invasion from deep space at any moment.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

The same was true in Yunluo Mountain, where three million sword immortals had gathered. More than ten giant Kun fish floated outside the mountain, along with a dozen five-colored warships. The masters of the various sword pavilions and the leaders of each peak had also met and were waiting for the Great Emperor's command to immediately go into battle.

As the true disciple of Jian Jiujiu, the chief of Jiujiu Peak, Yue Baiting enjoys the treatment of a sword immortal and should have been preparing for battle and joining the team. However, her situation is special. As the partner of the tenth Venerable of the Divine Realm Space and pregnant, Jian Jiujiu did not summon her. Her sword pavilion and courtyard were able to maintain their usual tranquility.

Zhou Xiaonan quickly found the place and met Yue Baiting without any problems.

Yue Baiting, with her large pregnant belly, looked every bit the part of a woman about to give birth.

Zhou Xiaonan spoke frankly without any reservations, stating his purpose directly. Yue Baiting was quite surprised to hear that the fetus in her womb could actually transmit information to Zhou Nan.

Upon learning that the little one would need Zhou Nan's help to be born, and that it would be best if the baby were born in deep space, she did not hesitate at all. She immediately took two swords and followed Zhou Xiaonan to the front of Lingxiao City.

Then, the two of them saw a huge mechanical tortoise outside Lingxiao City.

The giant tortoise was enormous, like a medium-sized island, and probably ten miles long. However, it was also very rough, with its body made up of various mechanical parts. It had no smooth mechanical plates or metal shell, and a large number of gears, springs, nuts and other components were exposed.

Without a doubt, that is the [shell of an ancient god], which is considered a very powerful void airship even in the Dragon Slaying Empire.

At this moment, the [Ancient God's Shell] opened its huge mouth, which was like a city gate. In front of it, there were many people. The twelve [Abyss Angels] and [Snake Dogs] from the Divine Realm were already waiting for Zhou Xiaonan and Yue Baiting.

There were other people at the time, such as Jian Jiujiu from Yunluo Mountain, Zong Zuanfeng from the Demon Mountain region, the Sea Urchin Warrior from the Crystal Dragon Palace, the Mech Pilot from the Great Thunder Temple, and so on.

It seems that many of them are destined to enter the [body of the ancient god], travel into deep space, and search for and protect Zhou Nan.

However, without a roadmap, traveling to deep space would not be easy. Researchers and scientists in the Primordial Secret Realm conducted extensive research and calculations and finally determined a method to open a deep space passage. Theoretically, this method could open a passage to deep space, but it is not yet perfect, and its actual effectiveness remains to be verified, with the risk of failure.

Zhou Xiaonan's appearance at this time was like sending charcoal in snowy weather; he came at the perfect time. Besides Zhou Nan, who controls and can open a passage to deep space, Zhou Xiaonan is the second person to possess this ability.

She was warmly received by Zhenguo Gong Badas and immediately became a highly sought-after figure.

When Yue Baiting arrived here, she saw that her own body, Jian Jiujiu, was also there. She was very curious and stepped forward to pay her respects.

Jian Jiujiu said, "No need for formalities. Actually, I took the initiative to enter the deep space. The reason is simple: I want to form a good relationship with your partner and protect him. He is the tenth deity in the Divine Realm. Perhaps I will have to rely on him in the future."

"Junior sister! I will also be accompanying the Chief Abbot this time!"

The one who spoke was none other than Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi, who had been rejected by Yue Bai Ting. He carried a crimson longsword and was also heading to deep space.

Now, this talented swordsman has no more feelings for Yue Baiting. Having severed ties with love, his cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds. He is now at level 299, and with just one more level, he will become a member of the Sword Immortals.

"Hmm!" Yue Baiting responded with a smile. In fact, she thought this senior brother was a decent person.

At this moment, auspicious clouds drifted down from the sky, and more than a dozen people jumped down from those clouds, led by an old Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a whisk.

Upon seeing those people, Yue Baiting's spirits immediately lifted.

She spotted someone she knew!

Among the people who jumped down from the auspicious clouds, one was wearing a white robe; it was none other than the white-card clown, Jia Debiao.

One of them was a two-headed demon lizardman, who was none other than the demon lizard player who called himself "Extraterrestrial Demon".

Then came another tall, imposing figure with two horns on his head—none other than [True Black Cow Pancake]!

Standing next to him was a man in a green robe, none other than the flash card master, Shen Qianhu!

There was also a warrior with white fur, whom Yue Baiting had heard Zhou Nan mention briefly; I think his name was Wu Dalang.

There were five or six others, who all appeared to be players.

"Huh, is this a player who ascended from the Void of Imagination?"

Yue Baiting was pleasantly surprised. Even though she didn't have a good impression of the white-card clown Jia Debiao, seeing him now felt like meeting a fellow villager.

Shen Qianhu and the others also noticed Yue Baiting and quickly ran over to greet her cautiously.

After a brief exchange, Yue Baiting learned that they had indeed just ascended, but they were to be sent into the [bodies of ancient gods] to undergo trials in deep space.

Several other people took the initiative to introduce themselves to Yue Baiting.

"My name is Wang Qiang, also known as the Living Zombie. I've heard that your Black Card Emperor's horse...companion? I've heard so much about you!"

"I am Yuanzheng, and I can pilot a mecha. I originally intended to report to the Great Thunder Temple, but I must first undergo some trials in deep space."

"Li Xinxin, please take care of me..."

Yue Baiting still felt quite superior to these players.

One day later, Zhou Xiaonan opened the passage to deep space, and the [Vessel of the Ancient God] set off!

This giant tortoise is a void airship. Passengers enter the airship through its mouth. The interior is spacious and very safe.

Among these giant turtles, there are as many as 40 experts at level 700, including Abyss Angels from the Divine Realm, the divine creature [Snake Dog], Jian Jiujiu from Yunluo Mountain, the mecha pilot from the Great Thunder Temple, the chief driller from the Demon Mountain Territory, the sea urchin warrior from the Crystal Dragon Palace, the Eight Qilin of the Qilin Academy, and so on.

Lord Badas, level 700, was among these people, leading the team!

There are as many as 240 experts between levels 500 and 700!

There are 1200 people below level 500!

These people will travel together to deep space, with the main purpose of finding and protecting Zhou Nan.

Everything went smoothly, and the enormous ancient tortoise soon entered the spatial portal and began its journey to the deep space world.

However, the journey was indeed arduous. Even though the ancient god tortoise ascended very quickly, Zhou Xiaonan estimated that it would take about a month to reach the first layer of deep space.

Zhou Nan extended into the first layer of deep space, the first universe, where time flowed ten times faster than in the outside world.

The giant tortoise will take a month to travel through the illusionary passage, so Zhou Nan will have to wait 10 months to see them.

Zhou Nan received the message from Zhou Xiaonan, but he wasn't in a hurry and quietly cultivated on the mountaintop.

Time passed...

Every nine days, Zhou Nan would forge a purple nine-star [Perpetual Divine Thought] card and use it to cleanse himself.

The black cat virus remained trapped inside him, unable to cause any more trouble.

The memory expansion, system maintenance, and data cleanup every nine days also helped Zhou Nan's foundation, after more than three years of suffering from the Little Black Cat virus, to begin a steady improvement.

Now Zhou Nan no longer needs to go out and plunder treasures to upgrade his memory. Almost every time the system is maintained, his level will increase by 3 to 5 levels.

Before he knew it, Zhou Nan's level had reached 666!

On this day, he received a message from deep space, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked out into the void beyond the mountains.

A powerful expert at level 800 is heading straight for Chiyang Mountain.

It was a purple-gold mammoth man, whose body seemed to be made of purple-gold. He carried a long-handled sword on his back and was covered in heavy metal armor. Unlike ordinary mammoth men, he had a pair of wings on the back of his human upper body and a pair of wings on the back of his mammoth body.

The wings were pure white, like the wings of an angel.

In fact, this purple-gold mammoth man was truly an angel!

He is the angel of the First Will of the First Layer of Deep Space.

The Emperor Sword received information from deep space, allowing Zhou Nan to immediately learn the identity of the purple-gold mammoth man, whose name was [Sentinel], and who was likely sent on the orders of the First Will.

A moment later, the purple-gold mammoth named "Sentinel" arrived at the foot of Chiyang Mountain. He showed no malice and shouted into the mountain in front of the mountain gate: "I have come by the order of the First Will. Please come with me, esteemed guest."

Zhou Nan did not respond. Behind the mountain gate, Huang Ka Taijun Xiao Taichong and Shou Ka Juling Xiao Taiyong were somewhat wary of the purple-gold mammoth man.

Although they couldn't discern the purple-gold mammoth's rank, they could tell from his demeanor that he was not someone to be trifled with.

If they had enough cards, they could go out and fight him, but Zhou Nan hasn't created any cards in the three or four years since he came to this First Universe, and they haven't received any cards either, still using the old cards.

For example, Huang Ka Taijun Xiao Taichong can equip a full ten skill cards, but currently only one Dragon Palace card set is usable, and he is still missing four powerful high-level cards.

The beast card "Giant Spirit Xiao Taiyong" is only useful for beast cards transformed from the Dragon Palace deck.

"Purple-gold, with wings—this is a master!"

"What do we do? Black Card Angel went back to her hometown. If she were here, the three of us could rush out together without any problems. But now it's just the two of us, and I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it!"

"This guy calls himself 'Hermit of the Mountains,' and he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

"He's probably calling for the boss. I wonder how the boss is doing these days. Sigh, if only the boss could give us more cards."

As Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong were discussing this, Zhou Nan's voice suddenly came from the mountaintop: "What is the meaning of the First Will?"

He wouldn't rashly follow the Purple Gold Mammoth Man, and besides, he didn't want to see any First Will right now.

The purple-gold mammoth continued, "I have a letter here, written personally by the First Will. Please take a look!"

After saying this, the purple-gold mammoth man took out a jade stone the size of an egg from his armor. After thinking for a moment, he came to the vicinity of the Chiyang Mountain gate, but instead of going in, he held the jade stone in his hand and waited for someone to come and take it.

Soon, the mountain god of Chiyang Mountain came down from the mountain to retrieve the jade stone, and then hurriedly went back up the mountain to hand it over to Zhou Nan.

The moment Zhou Nan's palm touched the jade, a flood of information rushed into his mind, and a human voice rang in his ears: "I am the ruler of the first universe of the first layer of deep space. My name is [Liu]. Rest assured, I have no ill intentions, because I... am also a human from Earth. To be precise, I am a primitive human who came to deep space by chance. I have been the First Will for a long time! Follow my angel, come to my temple. I will tell you all the information I have learned in these long years. A great terror is about to happen in the future, and I desire change..."
