Chapter 1216: Chapter 421: Planet Fortress Plan (6k)
"Place the card engraved with the story at the very center of the Array, with the surrounding materials corresponding to the cardâs level.
Itâs best if the materials have a high compatibility with the cardâs protagonist in the story. The higher the materialâs level, the more compatible it is, and the higher the lower limit of the cardâs power.
This step went smoothly.
Now, the final step is to activate the Array and infuse the power bestowed by the âHeavenly Daoâ into the card."
Bai Yi carefully checked the Array in front of her, confirmed no mistakes, and nodded in satisfaction.
In front of her was a standard card-making tool commonly used by local Card Makers, resembling a metal disk about the size of a washbasin, with a deeply engraved special Array on it.
A blank card had already been placed in the center of the disk, with three different metals and gemstones set around it as materials.
This is precisely the conventional card-making process used by this worldâs Card Makers.
How could one hope to study cards without personally trying to use and create them?
According to the memories gleaned from the Card Maker captured by the Insect Swarm, this is a standard Tier Three card-making method.
Why Tier Three? Because the Card Maker from whom the memories were obtained was himself only Tier Three.
However, it doesnât matter since she does not aim to actually make cards for battle but rather to temporarily study the card-making itself.
Following the steps in her memory, Bai Yi immediately began activating the Array with Magic Power, feeling the surrounding thick Magic Power seemingly drawn and gathered by the Array.
The three card-making materials seemed to be caught by her Apoptosis, starting to turn into powder and gradually disappearing.
Then, the thick Magic Power gathered was slowly guided into the card by the Array; the entire process took only about ten seconds, and the card was complete.
Holding the freshly made card from the center of the Array, the previously blank card now depicted the figure of a warrior in armor.
"Amazing, during the whole process, aside from maintaining the Array itself, I hardly participated at all, yet this card was somehow made?
It feels... it feels like synthesizing materials in a game..."
Bai Yi suddenly thought of this metaphor, but truly speaking, relatively, Bai Yi preferred to describe this process as a sacrifice.
Firstly, she was certain that those so-called card-making materials had absolutely nothing to do with the completion of the card.
Compared to the materials for making cards, they seemed more like offerings presented in worship to a God, used as sacrifices to aid in summoning a God.
If the card is viewed as an item needing the blessing of a God, and the story on it counts as the sacrificial content, this is almost a complete sacrificial ritual.
As for the target of the sacrifice, Bai Yi immediately suspected the âHeavenly Daoâ spoken of by the Card Masters when approving card stories.
The only issue is that throughout the process, there was no trace of Power of Faith involved; instead, there was only that surrounding Spiritual Series thick Magic Power.
Any ceremony related to God, whether a sacrifice or prayer, if capable of granting power, must use Power of Faith as a bridge.
But now, with her High-dimensional perception, she couldnât capture any corresponding traces, only seeing the flow of Magic Power around.
According to her understanding, if this truly is a sacrifice, even if the final effect is produced by the surrounding thick Magic Power, there should at least be Power of Faith from high dimensions mobilizing the surrounding Magic Power to create the effect.
Instead of the surrounding Magic Power completing all the steps directly.
But even if it seems unreasonable, the card was indeed processed and made.
Following the memory, Bai Yi activated the card with Magic Power.
As a Tier Three card, it didnât need much Magic Power. The activated card constructed the cardâs Summoned Creature around her.
A warrior in flashy armor, holding a bizarre long knife, instantly appeared.
"The summoning works fine, and apart from not sensing a living being with superpower, the attributes on the panel match.
Strange, what exactly are these cards all about?"
The more Bai Yi studied, the deeper her confusion grew.
Just then, a piece of good news came through the network to her.
"The âCard Kingâsâ Spirit transformation is finally complete? Bring it over quickly!"
Bai Yiâs face lit up with joy, the timing of the âCard Kingâsâ transformation couldnât be better!
In case of any issues, who could possibly know more than this worldâs strongest Card Master?
After the transformation completed, the âCard Kingâsâ soul had already become a member of the network, coming to her at her command in an instant.
Without waiting for the âCard Kingâ to praise the Primordial Witch, Bai Yi asked first:
"Do you know whatâs going on with this worldâs Card Master system?"
The Card Kingâs Spirit was silent for a while before politely reminding:
"Your Highness, your question is too broad. The answer will very likely not be the one you are looking for.
Perhaps, you could ask a more precise question..."
"Oh, right, right. Let me ask this then, do you know what exactly the Heavenly Dao is? How does it grant power to the cards? And where is this Heavenly Dao...
Oh, if it is a God, itâs normal not to know. But do you know whether it goes by any other names?"
Bai Yi realized she was a bit too anxious.
Her earlier question was similar to asking someone to summarize what mathematics is when seeking help with a math problem.
