Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1528 - 21: Lu Yuehan’s Honesty, Giant Sun Grassman Skill Acquired, Eighteen Nations Gather! (End of This Volume)

"There are no hidden versions of Stability Cards, but the Chaos Index within Change Cards can have tangible effects, impacting the Stability Cards."

Zhao Xing casually drew an unshuffled Stability Card, its pattern flickering and emitting a faint gray aura.

"This is the Deserted Territory Card."

Saying this, Zhao Xing tossed it into a pile of Stability Cards with a Spiritual Energy Index of 500-100.

"Buzz~"

The numbers on the cards changed immediately, the largest 500 became 5, and the smallest 100 became 1.

"Interesting." Wang Yun quickly understood and picked up a card labeled Putta, throwing it in.

Then, Putta's combat strength decreased from 100,000 to less than 1,000.

In Zhao Xing's deck, the Origin Realm wasn't divided into First, Second, and Third, but a combat strength of 100,000 should count as a third realm small divine power user.

Now it's reduced by 100 times, basically leaving only the combat power at the peak of the First Realm.

Even the divine skills are sealed, with only some source techniques available to use, and even the Void Skill has dimmed considerably.

"Brother Wang is indeed talented, understanding it immediately." Jing Yan complimented.

Wang Yun pondered: "So there must be a Dead Zone Card in here as well?"

"Indeed." Zhao Xing nodded, drawing a card with a completely black surface: "There is just one Dead Zone Card."

Zhao Xing threw the Dead Zone Card into the card pile.

"Buzz~"

The black light swept over all the card paths, numbers, and character cards (general cards), covering them with a layer of black.

"Once the Dead Zone Card is played, the game ends," Zhao Xing said. "The Dead Zone Card doesn't necessarily appear in every game, its probability is random and small."

"If someone feels they're about to lose and happens to find a Dead Zone Card, they can play it, making this round a draw, with no winner."

Wang Yun waved Qing Yu Zi's trump card: "The trump card is Reincarnation Realm, and it notes that Qing Yu Zi has the power to move heaven and earth, capable of reincarnation rebirth, even so, it can't counter a Dead Zone Card?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The actual Dead Zone, like the Extreme Star and Extreme Land, only exists in legend; it's never been seen.

Wang Yun felt the Tao Domain Realm could counter the Deserted Territory, so the Reincarnation Realm should counter the legendary Dead Zone.

"In playing cards, Brother Wang, don't apply real-world logic." Jing Yan laughed. "The Reincarnation Realm might still be observable, but who has ever seen the Dead Zone?"

Wang Yun cupped his hand in apology: "Brother Zhao, please continue."

Zhao Xing waved his hand and shuffled the cards: "Let's just dive in, explaining as we play."

A large pile of cards was split into nine stacks and thrown together.

Each person drew ten cards first.

"Any luck cards?" Zhao Xing asked after drawing.

"Yes." Wang Yun nodded.

Zhao Xing pointed to the area where support cards were placed: "By spending a luck card, you can draw three support cards first or draw one main card, or you can choose not to play yet, avoiding the reduction in probability of drawing junk when the card game becomes clearer."

"I'll use it." Wang Yun tossed out a card in his hand, which read [Good Fortune], allowing him to draw three support cards or one main card.

With Wang Yun playing the luck card, the game formally began.

The intricately designed card box emitted rays of light, and the sky dimmed around, as if the three were sitting under the starry sky.

Before them was a map of the Star Sea; Wang Yun could see shadows of the Yuanhai Ancient Country's territory and the Xuanling Star Domain, yet not quite alike.

It more closely resembled a historical map of the Xuanling Star Domain because today, there is no mention of Ancient Countries here, with no detailed division of power, visible are only some minor forces.

As the game progressed, Wang Yun was increasingly certain the card box was blending multiple historical periods of the Xuanling Domain's history.

And they had to choose a native region to stand firm in the dark universe, with only small dynasty forces to choose from.

Zhao Xing chose a world-level dynasty called 'Great Zhou', Jing Yan chose a small force in a demon country, and after some thought, Wang Yun picked the more familiar Yuanhai Dynasty.

Initially, the territories in front of everyone were quite small, with the Spiritual Energy Index unstable and footing scarce. They had to plan and develop according to the cards in hand.

The ultimate goal was dominance over the cosmic territories formed by the card box.

Environment cards were filled with variables, greatly adding to the fun of the game.

Wang Yun, this Third Realm, even using a Fate Master's spell, couldn't predict such a massive chaotic model, seemingly with infinite possibilities.

"It's a truly ingenious game." Wang Yun expressed his admiration several times halfway through the game. "Zhao Xing, did your esteemed father invent this?"

"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Why are there disappearing planets here?" Wang Yun suddenly noticed the territory under his control was losing planets, and the Spiritual Energy Index was dropping rapidly.

Zhao Xing glanced at Wang Yun's area: "Jing Yan used a Deserted Territory Card against you."

"Why are you targeting me now? We're so far apart." Wang Yun curiously asked Jing Yan, thinking there might be some rationale.

"No reason, just for fun." Jing Yan grinned: "Taking advantage of Brother Wang's unfamiliarity, I'm having fun while I can."

Wang Yun laughed silently.

Due to unfamiliarity with the rules, Wang Yun, playing for the first time, was quickly eliminated.

The card box emitted a light, forming a line of text in front of him:

[Your power, Yuanhai Dynasty, was wiped out by the second-realm powerhouse of 'Pu Ye Demon Country', with fewer than ten million survivors remaining, below the minimum standard required to maintain a kingdom's power, unable to stand firm in the vast universe. You have been eliminated from the game.]

Below, there was a line of settlement explanation:

[Power survival less than ten thousand years, you lose 100 times the base stake.]
