God-tier Summoning Card

Jiang Li's gaze fixed tightly on the golden Summoning Card. His right hand exerted a slight force, and with a soft bang, the sound rang especially loudly through the silent room.

The Summoning Card instantly shattered, turning into specks of Golden Light that drifted through the air. Every glimmer seemed to contain a mysterious world.

Jiang Li stared ahead without blinking, afraid of missing even the smallest detail.

He wanted to see which powerful expert this golden Summoning Card could summon.

As the golden motes before him gradually dispersed, like mist slowly lifting, a green Willow Leaf abruptly appeared before him.

The Willow Leaf floated quietly in midair, radiating an ancient and mysterious aura, as though it had come from the depths of distant time and space.

"Hmm?"

"System, what is this? Isn't it supposed to summon a person? Why did a Willow Leaf suddenly appear?"

Jiang Li looked at the Willow Leaf floating in midair, his face full of confusion as he questioned the system inwardly.

Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant.

Could there have been a problem with the Summoning Card?

Or perhaps the system had malfunctioned?

The host only needs to inject Soul Power into the Willow Leaf. You will naturally understand.

The system's icy voice rang clearly in Jiang Li's mind.

Though filled with doubts, Jiang Li still decided to follow the system's instructions.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself. Slowly raising his right hand, he sent a thread of Soul Power, like a nimble silken strand, flowing from his fingertips into the Willow Leaf.

Boom!

In an instant, an overwhelmingly powerful aura erupted from the Willow Leaf, like a volcano that had slumbered for ages suddenly exploding.

"Not good!"

The moment Jiang Li sensed that terrifying aura, his expression changed drastically and his pupils contracted sharply.

Without time to think, he immediately activated the Invincible Domain, sealing the aura completely within a confined space.

He knew perfectly well that if this aura leaked out, the Starry Sky Auction House's current defenses would likely be unable to withstand it. The entire building would be reduced to dust, and everything would be leveled.

The Willow Leaf before him seemed to have been infused with life.

It suddenly released strange energy fluctuations.

Like ripples, those fluctuations spread outward. Wherever they passed, space resembled a distorted mirror, rippling with layers of bizarre light.

At that moment, an illusion appeared before him: a towering willow tree standing in the void.

Its trunk was slender and jade-like, gleaming with a warm luster amid the illusory light. Countless willow branches hung softly downward, each crystal-clear and glinting with gentle treasure light, as though immortal charm flowed within them.

"Could it be the Willow God from Perfect World?"

As Jiang Li looked at the scene before him, an absurd thought surfaced in his mind.

The instant the thought appeared, even he found it unbelievable.

Yet the scene before him soon seemed to answer his guess, forcing him to believe this seemingly absurd possibility.

The next moment, the willow branches shook violently and vanished amid shifting light and shadow. The Willow Leaf before him also disappeared like a phantom, leaving no trace behind.

Then, a woman in a long green dress abruptly appeared before Jiang Li.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, every strand seeming to contain endless mysteries as it danced through the air in wondrous arcs.

An awe-inspiring pressure as vast as heaven and earth radiated from her body, surging outward in wave after wave like a raging sea.

"What a terrifying aura!"

When Jiang Li felt that aura, it was as though a massive boulder had crushed down upon his chest, making it incredibly hard for him to breathe.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hurriedly activated the Invincible Domain, blocking the overwhelming pressure.

Jiang Li was filled with amazement. The power of this God-tier Summoning Card was simply beyond imagination—it had actually summoned an unparalleled expert like the Willow God.

In the early stages of Perfect World, the Willow God had been a peak Immortal King. With her extraordinary strength and peerless grace, she had carved out a formidable reputation in that world filled with powerful beings.

In the later stages, she had possessed the combat strength of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. With a wave of her willow branches, she could suppress and kill monstrous evils with unmatched might, changing the winds and clouds in an instant and blotting out the sun and moon.

Through the river of time, she had witnessed countless rises and falls, yet remained standing throughout it all, becoming an immortal legend of Perfect World.

"Who are you? And where is this place?"

The Willow God parted her red lips. Her voice was like a mountain spring, crisp and pleasant, yet carrying an innate majesty.

Finding herself in this unfamiliar world, she examined her surroundings with a puzzled expression, her eyes revealing a probing curiosity toward the unknown.

Soon, with a single thought, she took in the entirety of Douluo Continent. The confusion in her heart only deepened.

"Such a weak world?"

"By all reason, this plane should be incapable of bearing one of my Clones. How did you accomplish this?"

The Willow God murmured to herself, her delicate brows knitting slightly. Between them seemed to gather endless wisdom and confusion.

Her eyes were full of bewilderment. Throughout her long life, she had never encountered anything so strange.

Even though this Willow Leaf bore only a trace of her essence, with merely one hundred-millionth of her own strength, such a weak world should not have been able to bear it.

"Strange. I actually cannot see through your past or your future."

The Willow God's gaze settled on Jiang Li, and her confusion deepened further.

In this weak world, she could clearly see every person's past and future.

Yet only the man before her was different. His origins seemed to be hidden beneath layers of mist. No matter how the Willow God searched, she could not reach the truth within.

Hearing the Willow God's words, Jiang Li did not know how to respond for a moment.

He secretly groaned inwardly. The system was his greatest secret, and he absolutely could not reveal it lightly.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the Willow God seemed to sense something, and her expression shifted slightly.

A strange gleam flashed through her eyes, as if she had sensed some mysterious power.

"Interesting. That figure has ordered this Clone of mine to obey you."

"So be it. I also happen to wish to explore this brand-new world. It seems this world exists entirely independently from the time and space where my true body resides."

A cryptic gleam flashed across the Willow God's face, but it quickly faded, and she returned to her transcendent appearance.

"If anything happens, I will act!"

As soon as her words fell, the Willow God vanished from where she stood and appeared in a room upstairs.

Jiang Li, who had been worrying over how to answer, felt immensely relieved upon hearing her words.

It seemed that the system had been operating behind all of this. Since it could summon one of the Willow God's Clones to Douluo Continent, it should have a way to handle any trouble that followed.

According to the Willow God, this Clone would obey his commands.

At that thought, Jiang Li did not know what to feel.

Even though this was only one of the Willow God's Clones, the strength she could unleash was enough to crush everything.

Within the God Realm of Douluo Continent, those powerful beings revered as God Kings normally stood high above all others, wielding endless power and authority. Yet with but a thought from the Willow God, they could all be slaughtered, as fragile as ants.

Jiang Li felt even more confident about the future.

Although the system had concealed the Starry Sky Auction House's existence for him, no one could guarantee that some other anomaly would not be noticed by the God Realm.

Now that the Starry Sky Auction House had the Willow God, it was like an impregnable fortress. Every crisis would cease to exist.
