My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 602 Zhou Clone

Zhou Nan held the jade in his hand, thought for a moment, and then threw it out of the mountain, returning it to the Purple Gold Mammoth Man.

Another green card flew out and landed at the mountain gate, transforming into a person who looked exactly like Zhou Nan. He was [True Lord Wang Ba - Zhou Avatar].

These are cards that Zhou Nan created at will.

Although he felt that the information in the jade was likely true, he wouldn't completely believe it. He was also somewhat curious about the First Will and wanted to visit its temple. To be on the safe side, he decided to leave his true body and send a card over.

Therefore, the [Wang Ba Zhen Jun · Zhou Fen Shen] was created to serve as a clone.

The King Overlord True Lord that Zhou Nan refined obeyed his will, but also had a certain personality setting. He could communicate with others and could go to the First Will's appointment in his place.

If he can return in the future, Zhou Nan will know everything he has experienced as soon as he meets him. If he cannot return and is lost on the way, it will be considered that Zhou Nan has avoided a risk. The only loss is nine handfuls of Qi, which Zhou Nan can replenish in less than two seconds.

"What is your intention, sir?"

The purple-gold mammoth outside the mountain gate retrieved the jade stone and asked, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, the avatar of True Monarch Wang Ba emerged from the mountain gate. His appearance was identical to Zhou Nan's, and his expression carried a hint of arrogance. He cupped his hands to the purple-gold mammoth man and said, "I've come to accompany you!"

"you?"

The purple-gold mammoth man couldn't tell if the person in front of him was the nobleman, but he felt that the person had a good temperament, so he accepted him and quickly took him away from Chiyang Mountain and into a disc-shaped flying vehicle.

Zhou Nan had already discovered that the disc-shaped spacecraft carried a deep-space probe, but he had no intention of plundering or devouring it at the moment.

With the [Perpetual Motion of Divine Thought] card, Zhou Nan can become stronger more systematically, safely, and effectively.

In comparison, while devouring deep space probes and forcibly merging deep space data can certainly expand his database and teach him new knowledge, it will inevitably contain useless or even erroneous data, which will need to be sorted and filtered using the [Perpetual Motion of Divine Thought] card.

In short, Zhou Nan felt that his cultivation should not be rushed. Forcibly devouring and integrating deep space data without seeking true mastery and digestion would be tantamount to pulling up seedlings to help them grow. In the short term, it might greatly improve his strength, but it would also bring some hidden dangers, affect his mental state, and even make him lose himself in countless chaotic information data, turning him into a divine being that only follows divine power.

Now I should focus on building a solid foundation, thoroughly digesting and absorbing all existing data before acquiring new data. Only by doing so can I go further in the future.

These insights came to Zhou Nan only after he used the [Perpetual Movement of Divine Thought] card.

"The system maintenance capabilities attached to the purple Divine Sense Perpetual Motion Card are of great benefit to me. However, if I only use the purple Divine Sense Perpetual Motion Card, although my foundation will become stronger and my level will become higher, due to the limitations of energy transformation and refining efficiency, all my time must be spent refining the Divine Sense Perpetual Motion Card and sealing the Little Black Cat Virus. I have no time to refine other cards, and I am ultimately trapped in a vicious cycle from which I cannot escape..."

Although Zhou Nan's level has increased, his efficiency in refining Qi has not. If he doesn't stop for a day, he can only refine one Qi storage. In nine days, he can refine a purple nine-star [Perpetual Divine Thought] card. However, this card can only suppress the Little Black Cat Virus for nine days. If he doesn't renew with a new purple [Perpetual Divine Thought] card when it expires, the Little Black Cat Virus can cause trouble again.

When the Black Cat Virus wreaks havoc, Zhou Nan is unable to smoothly transform and refine his energy, resulting in a significant drop in efficiency, and he also has to endure headaches.

To solve this problem, one must use the orange or black [Perpetual Motion of Divine Thought] card, which means Zhou Nan must force himself to transform and cultivate Qi despite the chaos caused by the Little Black Cat Virus.

He quickly devised a plan: every two days, he would use a purple one-star card called "Perpetual Motion of Divine Thought." Within those two days, he would release the Little Black Cat Virus to cause chaos for one day, and then he would endure that day to forcibly accumulate Qi and refine his spirit.

As time passed, Zhou Nan felt extremely tired after practicing in this way for some time.

Forcibly cultivating Qi while the Little Black Cat virus is causing trouble is like exercising while sick or using a computer infected with a virus. The efficiency of accumulating Qi is extremely low. Normally, Zhou Nan can cultivate one dan of Qi per day, but under these circumstances, he can only cultivate a maximum of one thousand dou of Qi per day, which is one-third of the normal amount.

To refine even a single-star orange-level Divine Sense Perpetual Motion Card, one would need the Qi of an entire realm. An entire realm is equivalent to 9000 warehouses, or 27 million Dou. At Zhou Nan's rate of accumulating Qi at 1000 Dou every two days, he would need to persist for 27,000 days, which is close to 74 years!

Besides this, Zhou Nan had no other effective methods and could only continue his cultivation with hope in his heart.

On this day, the Zhou clone of True Monarch Wang Ba followed the purple-gold mammoth and finally arrived at the core of the first universe.

This is a hidden void in deep space, and it is difficult to reach without knowing the passage. It is actually very similar to the center of the third universe.

There is also a radiant palace here, which oversees the entire first layer of the Deep Space First Universe Super Probe.

The First Will resides within this palace.

He was covered in long brown hair, nearly two meters tall, with a hunched back, arms that reached past his knees, a receding forehead, a flat nose, high cheekbones, and a prominent forehead. He was naked and looked exactly like a primitive man.

"flow!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, he patted his chest and waved his hand, signaling the Purple Gold Mammoth Man to leave.

Zhou's clone immediately cupped his hands and said, "I am the Black Card Emperor, here at your invitation!"

The First Will nodded, and with a stomp of his foot, a crystal chair appeared from the ground.

"sit!"

The First Will sat down first, then gestured for Zhou's clone to sit down, saying, "I know you are not the true form of the Black Card Emperor."

Zhou's clone remained calm and said, "My true body was ambushed by the third will and is still recovering from its injuries. It cannot move around. My presence here is the same, because I am the embodiment of the true body's will."

The First Will said, "I do know something about the Third Will's plot against us. The nine wills of the first layer of deep space can communicate with each other through the temple probes. The Third Will has already sentenced you to death. In its mind, you have already perished."

Zhou clasped his hands in thanks and said, "I'm lucky to have survived!"

"Alright, alright!" The First Will smiled, but his smile was ugly, like making a face. He then said, "Since you've come here, I'll tell you about the deep space."

"I'd like to hear more details!"

"Let's talk about this temple first. This temple is the core of the first universe and one of the nine super probes of the first layer of deep space. It can control all the deep space probes in the first universe. Controlling it makes one the first will of the first layer of deep space. I think the other eight deep space wills also became deep space wills for this reason."

"Oh?" Zhou's clone frowned. "I originally thought that the Nine Wills, as the strongest beings in the first layer of deep space, represented a realm or status. I didn't expect it to be just a position?"

"Position? That's certainly true! The temple probes of the first layer of deep space have existed for an unknown amount of time, perhaps even billions of years ago. They are eternal and immortal, but the will of deep space has changed countless times. Take the previous First Will, for example. He was a divine being with twisted divinity. Although he didn't reach the level of a supreme divine being, he was very close. Later, I ambushed and killed him, took control of this temple, and became the new First Will."

"Oh, is that so?"

The First Will grinned: "You should already know that my name is [Flow], and I come from Earth. However, my era was too ancient and primitive. At that time, there were no humans on Earth, nor were there any writing or language. It could have been millions of years ago, or hundreds of millions of years ago, or even more ancient times. I was still very ignorant then, with more animalistic instincts than human nature. One day, a white-haired swordsman appeared in front of me on his sword, and my life was changed because of him."

The first universe seemed to recall something, paused slightly, and then said: "That being told me that I was a primitive man, and that he gave me my name. He taught me language and writing, and said that he would establish laws in the name of the God-King, and teach all time-spaces, universes, civilizations, intelligent races, and hidden voids related to Earth to speak Mandarin. I received guidance, obtained opportunities, and possessed wisdom far beyond that of my time and companions."

"The White-Haired Swordsman, the Law of the God-King..."

Zhou asked, "Who is that person?"

The First Will said, "That great man is beyond thought and beyond words. Even now, as the First Will of the First Deep Space, I can almost rival the Supreme Divinity and the Strongest Immortal Spirit. Recalling that great man back then, I still feel that he is unapproachable and unreachable. I once wanted to become his disciple, but he just shook his head and smiled, saying that my aptitude was not enough and that at most I would reach the Venerable Realm in the future..."

"The Venerable Realm? What realm is that in which cultivation system?"

The First Will said, "Actually, I don't know either. Over the years, I have consulted the deep space database countless times, but I still can't find the origin of the Venerable Realm. However, I have no doubt about what that person said. I can now almost be compared with the supreme divine beings and the strongest immortals. I feel that my limit is here. Perhaps the Venerable Realm is on the same level as the strongest immortals and the supreme divinity."

"oh."

Zhou's clone nodded. He possessed the wisdom bestowed upon him by Zhou Nan and was knowledgeable about various cultivation realms.

The First Will continued, "The reason I was able to come to the deep space is because of that great one. He brought me here and made me slumber in this Temple of Light. I remember he told me that in the future I would become the Will of the Deep Space, opening a passage to the deep void for warriors. I don't know how long I slept. When I woke up, I found a divine being trying to possess my body, but I ambushed and killed it. That divine being was my predecessor. After that, I naturally took over this Temple of Light and became the First Will of the First Layer of the Deep Space! Among all the wills in the First Layer of the Deep Space, I am the most ancient."

"So that's how it is." Zhou Nan grasped the key point in the First Will's words and said softly, "To open a passage to the deep void for the warriors... Can you open that passage?"

The First Will nodded: "Alright! I have been waiting for the warrior that sir spoke of, but for countless years I have never seen one, nor did I know who that warrior was, until I discovered you!"

"Me? You mean, I am that warrior?" Zhou's clone looked slightly surprised.

The First Will shook its head and said, "You have made me realize that the warrior is not a single person, but all those who fight against and destroy the will of the deep space. You may only be one of them. The fate of the deep space has run out. When a large army comes to attack, I will open a passage to the second layer of deep space for them."

Zhou's clone seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

The First Will continued, "To return to you and speak of this deep space, the deep space, according to my calculations over countless years, should have nine layers. The true controller of the entire deep space, the root of all deep space wills, should be in the ninth layer, which is also the deepest layer of the deep space. It may be a creature, or it may not, but it undoubtedly hates all interstellar civilizations."

As they spoke, the First Will took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou's clone, saying, "Take this jade slip back and give it to your true body. It records all the star civilizations that have been destroyed by the deep space or are about to be wiped out since I became the deep space will of the first layer of deep space. There are a total of 3768597 such civilizations. I don't know how many star beings have been wiped out by the deep space."

"good!"

Zhou's clone took the jade slip and carefully put it away.

The First Will continued, "On the surface, we are the controllers of the first layer of deep space, but in reality, we are merely the surface managers chosen by the powerful beings of the deeper deep space worlds. All deep space probes that go to the stars depart from the ninth layer of deep space, which is beyond our control. If those probes bring back data, they will be sent directly to the ninth layer. The first eight layers of deep space are merely barracks where the ruler of the ninth layer stores his troops. That ruler will select a certain layer of void according to the degree of threat posed by a civilization and directly send out a large army! Sometimes, even a deep space will like mine will have to go into battle."

"So that's how it is." Zhou's clone understood.

The First Will continued, "In the jade slip I gave you earlier, there was a list of interstellar civilizations that are about to be attacked by Deep Space. The first on that list is the Dragon Slayer Empire, the second is the Earth Human Civilization, the third is the Earth Dinosaur Civilization... In short, Deep Space is about to take action against Earth."

"There really is a dragon-slaying empire."

Zhou's clone smiled at this moment, "The Dragon Slaying Empire is so vast that the scale of its civilization is incomparable to that of human civilization. There are countless level-thousand experts, and possibly even some who have reached the Heavenly Realm. If the Deep Space were to launch an invasion war against it, it would be like kicking a hornet's nest. However, if human civilization, the Pig civilization, and others were to face an invasion from the Deep Space world, they would probably be powerless to resist."

"It was this list that taught me that something big was about to happen. The person who gave me this opportunity seemed to value Earth quite a bit. I firmly believe that Earth's civilization is not so easily destroyed. When war breaks out, please understand that I stand on Earth's side."

The First Will said, "If you want to launch a counterattack on the second layer of deep space, you can come to this temple."
