Eerie Gods Card Master: Starting with Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

And, is that femme fatale Amber dead or not?!

He tried to struggle awake and return to his physical body, but no matter how he urged his spiritual sense, his consciousness remained heavy as lead.

Was he going to be trapped in his spiritual platform and sea of consciousness forever?!

Just then, he sensed a familiar aura deep within his sea of consciousness.

Lin Chen suddenly became alert;

Something's wrong!

This was clearly his own spiritual platform, so why was there another presence mixed in?

But it seemed to have no hostility.

Lin Chen slowly began to feel and recall this familiar aura...

He remembered!

Back when he was summoning Door Gods to make cards in the [Myriad Ghosts Night Parade Capital], he had briefly glimpsed an ancient gaze—one that spanned across the void, pierced through myriad realms, and met his own from afar.

The aura of that ancient being was actually lingering deep within his sea of consciousness right now!?

Because Lin Chen's reason had collapsed and his spiritual platform had been shaken, it had allowed this hidden presence to surface!

And it had sensed Lin Chen, enveloping him.

Though it was merely a faint wisp of an aura, Lin Chen felt as if—a colossal form spanning heaven and earth stood before him!

And the form of this entity was constantly shifting;

At times it transformed into the majestic Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong;

At times it became the wrathful Zhong Kui with his scowling face;

In an instant, it was the fierce Generals Shen Tu and Yu Lei;

Most strangely, it even turned into the security guard from his apartment complex in his past life!

Thousand faces and myriad forms, and so on.

But no matter how its appearance changed, this ancient being gave Lin Chen an unchanging quality:

It was a seal, a defense, a barrier, a protection...

This quality became clearer and more concrete...

Lin Chen finally realized;

It was the "Door"!

What he sensed was the concept of the "Door"!

The aura left by this ancient being was actually the "Door."

Combined with the resonance he felt when summoning Door Gods for card making, it wasn't hard to guess that this ancient being—

Was the [Door Gods]!

It wasn't a specific Door God;

It was the [Door Gods] itself, a divine being in charge of the rules, authority, and concept of "Doors"!

No wonder when he looked at it, he saw everything related to "Doors."

The Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong he summoned and made into cards were essentially avatars or manifestations of it, its "forms" reflected across all realms!

"So that's how it is!"

No wonder Amber said back then that I didn't understand the true power of gods;

It's because my cards only had divine power but didn't touch upon or grasp the divinity at the level of "authority."

Shock, enlightenment, and dread—various emotions exploded in Lin Chen's heart.

The card-making and spirit-summoning he had stumbled into back then had actually drawn the gaze of a true divine being!

And he had even received a trace of its aura.

Lin Chen first laughed with joy, then, like a child holding gold, he began to feel trepidation;

Because in Western heroic works from his past life, there was a famous saying—"With great power comes great responsibility."

And in Huaxia's Eastern fantasy culture, it should be changed to: "With great power comes great karma!"

The [Door Gods]'s gaze upon Lin Chen must carry immense karma!

Could Lin Chen bear it?

But then he recalled the deep regret and self-blame he felt before his reason shattered;

'I'm too weak...

I've failed you, Xiao Diao...'

Moreover, he wasn't the only one in this world who could summon gods;

Instances devouring people, outer gods breeding offspring, wine gods performing hidden rituals...

There might be more unknown eerie existences lurking around him!

Lin Chen transmigrated to this world not seeking fame among nations, but only wishing to preserve his life in this strange land and protect those he cares about.

But his strength was still too weak!

So weak that he couldn't even protect the person in front of him.

Didn't the authority of the [Door Gods] before him precisely represent protection and safeguarding?

Wasn't this exactly what Lin Chen wanted!

First, protect himself, so that disaster wouldn't reach him and he could live freely; if he had any surplus strength, then he would protect all the people, making all the scholars in the world happy!

Lin Chen had cleared his thoughts and made up his mind.

Then he would accept this karma and carry out the duty of protection!

The author, along with the Door God Temple, is here to ask for votes and continued reading!

I believe the rankings will only get higher in the future!

Let us await the day of triumph together, and gallop through the streets of Chang'an to admire all its flowers!

Chapter 39: Hello, I've killed my way back from hell!

Lin Chen had figured it out; being in this world's eerie domain was like rowing against the current – if you don't advance, you fall back!

The humiliation of the broken spear must be remembered; only by knowing shame can one be brave!

He must seize the favor of the [Door Gods]!

Therefore, he opened his mind and boldly faced the [Door Gods];

The [Door Gods] also gazed at Lin Chen, as if wanting to say something to him.

But when the divine being opened its mouth, it was like mountains collapsing and seas overturning; Lin Chen's sea of consciousness trembled, and his spiritual platform swayed precariously!

He couldn't hear what the Door Gods wanted to convey at all!

Was his spiritual sense still not strong enough?

And just at this moment, Lin Chen felt a resonance of divinity from the outside world!

It was as if something had advanced!

A warm divine power surged into his sea of consciousness, stabilizing his mind at the very moment his spiritual platform was about to collapse!

The cleansing divine power gave Lin Chen a momentary boost, and he could finally clearly hear the words conveyed by the ancient deity before him!

But Lin Chen only managed to hear one word—

"Open."

Then his mind was shaken, his spiritual sense felt like it was impacted three thousand miles away, and the aura of the [Door Gods] gradually dissipated...

After his mind stabilized, Lin Chen opened his eyes and found himself back in the real world, his rationality surprisingly restored!

Moreover, his spiritual platform was exceptionally stable, his sea of consciousness had broadened considerably, and his mental power had surged, reaching the point where he could "look inward."

Lin Chen looked at Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong again. Unlike before, he now felt a sense of closeness;

He felt as if these two Door Gods were truly his born generals and personal guards.

The two Door Gods felt the same. Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong were overjoyed to see Lin Chen wake up!

They felt their lord had become even more majestic and sacred; but due to the ongoing fierce battle, they couldn't disengage and could only express themselves through their divine sense:

The divine thoughts of the two generals came like scorching flames, conveying concern and worry.

Their concern was for Lin Chen's current state, and their worry was for Chen Xiao Diao, who was now in a deep sleep due to the pollution;

They were just like a pair of parents worried sick about their child!

Chen Xiao Diao hadn't been devoured! But she wasn't far from death.

Lin Chen carefully observed Chen Xiao Diao's condition. Her face was deathly pale, and eerie energy had entered her body!

Even more terrifying was that faint, fine black patterns appeared on her skin, as if her blood vessels were already occupied by some eerie object.

Her hair, which was usually short and neat, had grown significantly;

Her fingernails also looked like they hadn't been trimmed in a long time, growing long and hard, with slight hoof-like keratin at the tips;

Although she had only been unconscious for this short while, it was as if she had slept for several months;

This was the "breeding" pollution from the Black Goat cub, causing her body to accelerate its growth and development!
