Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 372: Authority of the God Stealer

[Then why did it find Helena? Isn’t it supposed to bind to Yu Jian?]

[Does it want to change its target? But that’s impossible, and why did it just happen to find you?]

Zero Egg was still somewhat worried.

Because it feared Wen Jiang might really agree and establish a relationship with the Heaven’s Mandate System.

Then wouldn’t it be finished too?

"This isn’t a last-minute panic, Helena is indeed the perfect substitute."

Her own card creation ability is excellent, as is her combat ability.

Being targeted by the Heaven’s Mandate System is understandable.

It’s just surprising that it happened so quickly.

Looks like it was just a timely coincidence.

For the first time, Wen Jiang was grateful for doing the right thing, providing troubles for others.

Wen Jiang was only concerned about one thing: "When the system binds, it learns everything about the host. Will it not investigate Helena’s origin?"

Helena’s identity is entirely fake. It might deceive this world, but can it really deceive the system?

If the Heaven’s Mandate System detects something suspicious from the identity information?

"Your consciousness shielding is strong, as long as you don’t want it to know, it won’t."

Xing Wu contemplated: "Even I can’t accurately detect your thoughts."

Zero Egg felt something was off: [What are you thinking? You wouldn’t really agree, would you?]

Wen Jiang smiled and said: "Why not agree? It came to me on its own."

Helena’s body is merely a puppet, not connected to the true body, just a shared consciousness.

The disappearance of the puppet would indeed harm Wen Jiang, but if this loss could eliminate the Heaven’s Mandate System as well,

then it’s simply the most profitable deal.

Wen Jiang wasn’t truly concerned with Yu Jian, but rather the Heaven’s Mandate System behind her.

A traitor poses a greater threat than a regular system.

Looks like the Heaven’s Mandate System is indeed about to take action.

It wants to change hosts, but when will it act?

Wen Jiang speculated, if it has been plotting for years, could it be at the S-level world championship?

Since she won the championship this year, the system’s tasks might change as well.

[...]

Zero Egg was speechless now.

After all, the Heaven’s Mandate System has higher privileges and abilities than it.

Water flows downward, people climb upward.

Wen Jiang didn’t feel like comforting Zero Egg’s fragile pride; since the Heaven’s Mandate System wants to bind, she’d give it that chance.

She looked at Xing Wu in front of her, pondering: "If the Heaven’s Mandate System is only looking for hosts like Yu Jian, they certainly don’t have the capital for awakening you." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Just judging from the previous tasks.

"It’s not just the Heaven’s Mandate System, nor just one Zero Egg; with such a wide-net approach, there are likely similar worlds, aren’t there?"

Just like she comes from another world.

Surely there are not just two similar worlds, but other worlds, including other systems exist.

The wide-net approach, aiming to awaken the God of Desire.

Xing Wu curved his lips indifferently.

He neither confirmed nor denied.

Wen Jiang almost outlined a complete silhouette; it seems Xing Wu is restricted by something that prevents full disclosure.

But it doesn’t hinder Wen Jiang from approximately deducing based on his behavior.

In the previous world, Wen Jiang practiced cultivation.

In the concept of cultivators, once one reaches a certain level of ability, realms appear.

This realm can be regarded as a self-created world; from initially non-existent life to the birth of life.

Cultivators equate to the Creator God of this world.

If, Xing Wu is equivalent to such an existence.

Then these worlds are his worlds?

Wen Jiang does not think her world belongs to the scope of the God of Desire, because obviously, although she and the card powers are of the same origin, fundamentally belong to different progression directions.

Her world seems more like an open breeding ground by the Creator God.

But the ’Creator God’ did not restrict their abilities to ascend and advance, just like providing a channel upward.

And the card world, from its root, is blocked.

Humans have no channel upward; all energy is sourced from the foundation of this world.

Even UR Rank Spirit Card Masters can’t break through their limits.

And Xing Wu is a God of Desire, so there must be other gods.

Different gods govern different worlds.

The existence of systems indicates more than one world.

Then it all makes sense.

If Xing Wu was once human too,

through some channel, He became a god.

This can explain why gods remain so fragile.

Wen Jiang’s thoughts transformed numerous times, and Xing Wu continued watching her silently.

Seemingly aware of what Wen Jiang was thinking, and he didn’t mind these thoughts being deduced.

He even smiled and reminded: "Actually, you could be a bit bolder."

Wen Jiang: ?

She looked at Xing Wu strangely.

Zero Egg was still immersed in the emo state of Wen Jiang possibly choosing the Heaven’s Mandate System and had no time to care about the riddles these two were playing.

And Wen Jiang didn’t continue discussing with Xing Wu because she needed to keep creating cards.

Since she decided to let the Heaven’s Mandate System take the bait, then she must keep up appearances for the next few days.

The second day of the exchange meeting, Helena searched all night at home for information on Wen Jiang.

She was relentless, and when she went to the venue the next day, her information on the internet was already viral, attracting a lot of media to block her on site.

Julia’s mouth corners stiffened from smiling, knowing Helena disliked it, she blocked the media for her.

Entering the scene, compared to yesterday, now the contestants had more complex emotions.

Helena’s reputation was spreading throughout Xi Zhou.

If the current focus wasn’t on the S-level selection match, she might have already shocked the world.

An A-Level contestant capable of handling three cards in a match is overwhelming to anyone.

Facing such a contestant, those present could only feel despair.

Who can deal with her?

But Wen Jiang seemingly didn’t care about these disturbances, and neither of the two contestants she was assigned to that day could compare to Luer from yesterday.

If these two contestants hadn’t known at least one match had to be fought for the fans, they might have surrendered on the spot.

But surrendering would just disappoint their fans.

Still, everyone’s spirit was severely hit, as reflected in today’s match where most contestants lacked fighting spirit.

Everyone was downcast; the whole exchange meet seemed to have turned into a backdrop for Helena.

Who could be happy about it?

If they could express dissatisfaction, it would be one thing, but even feeling dissatisfied seemed powerless.

Yet Wen Jiang didn’t care about these, but this match did bring her attention to something.

It came from a small association.

This association’s match had nothing captivating, and the contestants were weak.

Except for one card that intrigued Wen Jiang.

The name of that card was.

[The Power of the Thief of Gods].

God Stealer.

Illegitimately ascended god.
