Five Frozen Centuries

The once-in-a-lifetime coming-of-age ceremony in the Divine Realm seemed like it was about to end. Although it was over, it seemed like there was going to be a meeting. The meeting was a competition with the God who had returned from the coming-of-age ceremony, and it was about to be held.

Wei Huo was not sure about it. When the short teacher brought him to the hall, Wei Huo saw the familiar rainbow gate again. Soon, the first young God returned. He lowered his body in the golden coffin and separated his spirit and flesh before flying out of the coffin with a faint purple glow.

The crowd erupted into applause. The young God arrived at the stage and bowed in the direction of the Heavenly Wood God.

Wei Huo finally saw the legendary Heavenly Wood God. He was sitting on the tall platform and he looked like he was about 30 years old. His body was emitting an orange glow, which indicated that he was a Legendary being.

The Heavenly Wood God nodded slightly. The young God approached the person in charge, who was Han Lu, and handed her his Divine Pet Space. Han Lu raised the Divine Pet Space and shouted, “Three Epic-ranked, 18 Rare-ranked, 56 Normal-ranked!”

Another round of applause erupted on the scene. Han Lu added, “According to tradition, you can ask the Heavenly Wood God to help you create a card.”

Card?

Wei Huo was confused. What card?

The young God was excited. He said loudly, “I beg the Heavenly Wood God to turn the Epic-ranked snake in the Divine Pet Space into a card!”

The Heavenly Wood God stood up and said, “Young man, give me your Pet Space.”

The young man respectfully handed the Divine Pet Space over to the Heavenly Wood God. The Heavenly Wood God waved his hand and a purple gem flew out of the Divine Pet Space. He then used his magical powers. A moment later, countless purple lights gathered and a ray of light fell from the sky. Soon, a voice was heard. “Epic!”

In a bit, countless rays of light gathered and formed a card the size of a poker card. The purple soul gem was embedded in the center of the card. The top half of the card was a picture. On the picture was a life-like python with its fangs revealed. It looked terrifying.

The Heavenly Wood God took the card and had a few looks. “Let me take a look at the special effects of this Epic-ranked card. Yes… It’s poisonous!”

A string of divine words appeared on the bottom half of the card. Wei Huo could not understand them, but many people started reading them subconsciously. “Poisonous. If it attacks creatures below the Epic stage, it will kill them with one blow. Any creatures above the Epic stage will be poisoned.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Isn’t this… a Hearthstone Card?

However, Wei Huo frowned slightly, as he had a weird sense of déjà vu. He felt as if he had heard of this idea before. It seemed like someone had told him about it, but it also felt like a dream.

Wei Huo frowned as he thought about it. At that moment, the second young God returned to the Divine Realm. He had also obtained an Epic-ranked card. Wei Huo saw him take out a set of cards and stuff the Epic-ranked card between them.

One could capture Rare, Epic, and Legendary monsters alive and turn them into cards. The different colors of gems in the center of the cards were their soul gems!

Wei Huo had heard of that idea before. He thought about it carefully. It seemed like this idea had been mentioned by one of his classmates. However, he could not remember which one had suggested it.

The reason Wei Huo could remember it was only because everything he had experienced so far was related to games. After all, whenever he thought about his daily life experiences, he would think of games. Whenever he thought of more popular games, he would think of the games that he had played with others.

Connection was a unique human ability.

The young Gods returned from the human world one after another. They returned through the rainbow gate and approached the platform. They were then applauded by countless spectators and they asked the Heavenly Wood God to create a card.

One had to steal the freedom of an Epic-ranked creature every time one created an Epic-ranked card. Every time one deconstructed an Epic-ranked card…

Wei Huo suddenly asked, “Can this card be deconstructed?”

The short teacher asked curiously, “Why would you want to deconstruct these cards? You can summon the creatures in the cards as long as you use them. They can help you fight. If you don’t understand, you will understand when the 100-day card battle begins.”

Wei Huo understood already. These cards were not used for board games. They could be used to fight!

Now that he thought about it, Wei Huo wanted to create such a card himself. If living creatures could create cards, could weapons, skills, and spells work as well?

Wei Huo suddenly used his imagination. Currently, it seemed like the Gods only wanted to make living creatures into cards.

Soon, Han Lu’s younger sister, Han Yun, returned to the venue. At that moment, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic applause from the crowd, especially when Han Lu raised the five Divine Pets Spaces and announced 14 Epic-ranked creatures! The entire audience got excited!

Han Yun was a little embarrassed by their continuous praise. According to tradition, the Heavenly Wood God was going to create a card for Han Yun. The card was a mountain giant with the special effect of ‘Reflection’ that would reflect half of the damage when it was attacked.

However, the main event was about to start. A tall, handsome young man had appeared outside the rainbow gate. The young man had returned with seven Divine Pet Spaces. Everyone in the hall went into an uproar again and kept shouting the man’s name.

“Wang Teng, Wang Teng!”

Wang Teng walked up to the stage arrogantly but told Han Lu politely, “Sister Han Lu, look. There are 20 Epic creatures here.”

As he spoke, he took out another Divine Pet Space and told Han Lu quietly, “Sister Han Lu, this is a greeting gift. In exchange for this greeting gift, help me arrange a date with Yun’er.”

Han Lu frowned. “Rules are rules. I won’t want you to reach the Epic stage…”

Before Han Lu could finish her sentence, she realized that there were three Epic-ranked creatures in the Divine Pet Space that Wang Teng had handed over. She suddenly changed her answer. “On account of our relationship, I’ll do you a favor. How about we meet in 15 days?”

Han Yun was confused. She had not known that her sister would betray her.

Wang Teng nodded happily. Han Lu announced loudly, “20 Epic creatures!”

Another round of applause broke out on the scene. At that moment, Wang Teng raised his Divine Pet Space. “I would like to ask the respected Heavenly Wood God to create this Epic-ranked card!”

Upon saying that, he released the Epic-ranked creature. It was an extremely gigantic dragon shrouded in lightning.

Someone exclaimed, “A Magic Tyrannosaurus! That’s an extremely rare Epic-ranked Magic Tyrannosaurus!”

Some people were confused. “Why isn’t it called Thunder Tyrannosaurus? Why is it called Magic Tyrannosaurus?”

“…”

Do you know how to talk? Can you communicate? How would I know why? That’s what was recorded in the ancient scrolls.
