My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Shen Sui didn't expect An Hai to ascend to the ninth tier so quickly.

Although there had been rumors before, the promotion tournament for the ninth tier is not something that one can simply pass easily.

Moreover, Shen Sui didn't expect that the first person An Hai thought of when given such a precious recommendation slot was himself, rather than his brother An Yang or his sister An Wei.

Half-jokingly, Shen Sui asked An Hai why he didn't recommend his own siblings.

"An Yang is not qualified, and I'm afraid of An Wei."

An Hai's answer was very simple, yet filled with a hint of a story.

Afraid of recommending An Wei... what nonsense...

How outrageous is Vivian's Candlelight Illusion character setting...

Shen Sui thought to himself.

However, he also began to look forward to the duel the day after tomorrow.

Each Life Card Master who recommended a contestant for the meeting would place one of their Life Cards into the deck, and then based on the ranking of points, the contestants in the duel would choose the appropriate Life Card in order.

Although they probably contributed cards from their backup deck, in such an occasion, they usually wouldn't be too weak. The strength would at least match the identity of a ninth-tier Life Card Master, and even if one loses all matches and ends up in last place, they can still acquire a very decent Life Card.

When Shen Sui returned to the dormitory, Freymia had just gotten up.

After reaching the real world and without the supervision of those ancient Elf Elders, our former Elf Empress was completely free to pursue her nature, planning to try various new things.

Of course, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as the dozen cosplay costumes in her delivery were among the things she planned to try.

After tossing the delivery to Freymia to enjoy unboxing, Shen Sui sat on the sofa and turned on the Dueling Device.

Alice was still diligently practicing magic, although her spells always had some odd special effects. However, knowing more skills never hurts, and she's at least a seventh-level mage now, which is considered mid-tier among the extraordinary. She can't just rely on the Fireball Technique.

If Alice's goal was simply to be a powerful Magic Guide, then mastering just the Fireball Technique might be enough. After all, some people can become the best in the world with just one sword technique. But Alice wants to achieve something big, like completely destroying the Church of the Master of Thunder, which requires her to have enough prestige in front of her followers—if she could conjure a fireball as large as a city gate, that might do.

After checking Alice's status, Shen Sui also curiously opened Freymia's status.

He found that although Freymia forcefully crossed into the real world, Shen Sui could still check Freymia's movements through the Dueling Device. However, when he opened the details, all he saw were strings of "*****."

Uh...

In a certain sense, that wasn't wrong.

[Freymia is considering which outfit to wear tonight.]

[You actually have the energy to meet that girl named Xinyuan Tanchun today, she thinks you must still have some energy left.]

???

Shen Sui quickly glanced at Freymia, who was in the bedroom trying on clothes, comparing a black-and-white nun's outfit.

Held his breath and focused.

Shen Sui quickly adjusted his mentality and turned his attention back to the Dueling Device.

Since it's possible to check Freymia's status, then there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to check Qishala's.

When your Soul Card moves out of your sight, you can't track its actions on the Dueling Device.

For actions like Qishala's, who directly crossed two worlds, ordinary Life Card Masters really can't track her, since not everyone has the ability to traverse worlds like the Star Abyss White Dragon.

Even Freymia, who is nearly as powerful as Qishala, almost exhausted everything to overcome all difficulties to reach Shen Sui's side.

But Shen Sui was an exception because, in every sense, what Shen Sui left behind with each Soul Card was just a spiritual projection, and with Shen Sui's strength, maintaining the presence of the spiritual projection was no problem at all.

The kind of pressure from crossing worlds was nothing to Shen Sui.

Not long after temporarily parting with Qishala, Shen Sui checked her movements on the Dueling Device, but it only showed that she was sailing.

However, upon checking once again, he found that Qishala had already reached World No. 6.

[In front of Qishala is a desolate world.]

[Dust storms rage, and the wind never ceases.]

[Whistling gravel flickers freely in the vast world, everywhere in sight is gray and yellow.]

[The fierce wind rustles Qishala's clothing.]

Shen Sui was a little surprised.

The World No. 6 he knows didn't look like this at all.

["Is this World No. 6?" You ask.]

Had he not trusted Qishala's abilities, Shen Sui might have thought she had lost her way.

[Qishala glanced around, a powerful force resisting the swirling storm, expanding a windless area several kilometers in radius centered around her: "Yes, it looked like this the last time I came here."]

["The Spiritual World I know is completely different from this."]

["That's the other side of World No. 6." Qishala said, "This is the real World No. 6. Over five hundred years ago, the Boundary-breaking Worm invaded here and summoned a Broken Boundary Empress, which ultimately led to the destruction of World No. 6."]

The Broken Boundary Empress is not just Antipus.

Shen Sui knew this, as it was also mentioned in the DLC storyline clip.

Of course, as the Broken Boundary Empress capable of invading the Dawn Continent, Antipus was also among the top-tier of the Broken Boundary Empress.

Was World No. 6 destroyed by the Boundary-breaking Worm?

No wonder Lingyi fainted immediately upon seeing the scene of Antipus's condensation, it seemed to be a stress reaction.

[Qishala sensed the intermittent ripples in the air and resolutely walked in one direction.]

[The sandstorm showed no sign of stopping, and within the field of vision, there was nothing but desolation.]

[This is a desolate world, the only response you can get is the sound of the wind and drifting sand.]

["After the Boundary-breaking Worm devoured everything here, it left." Qishala said, "When I came here, it was already like this."]

[Qishala spoke and suddenly stopped in her tracks.]

[In front of her, something finally appeared besides sand.]

[It was a smooth metal stele made of superalloy, like a mirror, reflecting the scene of doomsday.]

[It stood tall and solitary in the desolate world.]

[The mirror surface of the metal stele reflected Qishala's figure.]

[The wind and sand beat against it, as if this lonely mirror stele was welcoming the arrival of guests.]

["What is this?"]

["The monument of this world's civilization." Qishala raised her hand, touching the mirror stele in front of her, "It's also the entrance to another world, where the master is familiar with the Spiritual World."]

["A monument of civilization?"]

["Yes." Qishala said, "On the eve of the world being destroyed by the Boundary-breaking Worm, the intelligent creatures of this world abandoned the idea of preserving themselves. They turned their civilization into a monument to prove to future generations their existence, just like the stone tools left behind by those ancient humans in the world where the master is."]

["But they never expected that new intelligent creatures indeed emerged, but it was their civilization."]

Shen Sui was momentarily stunned, almost not understanding Qishala's words.

["You mean...," you pondered and said, "the followers of World No. 6 are all operating within this mirror stele? And evolved from the civilization that was destroyed."]

["Spiritual Ascension, Civilization Eternity." Qishala slowly said, "Each spiritual creature represents a part of the original civilization of World No. 6, Lingyi is the Spiritual Terminal Primordial Dragon, the earliest spiritual creature evolved from civilization fragments. Each spiritual creature has the ability to independently complete the integral civilization, and upon completion, they can divide themselves, forming countless spiritual creatures mastering part of the civilization's fragments."]

[Qishala paused for a moment and concluded, "They are the civilization itself, also the carriers of civilization. Almost every spiritual creature that completes itself aspires to leave the mirror stele, venturing into a new world to spread the civilization of World No. 6. Lingyi left World No. 6 with such thoughts following me."]

Shen Sui roughly understood Qishala's meaning.

This world's civilization transformed into a kind of intelligent creature that can split and proliferate, propagating according to the instinct of civilization continuation.

["The appearance of Antipus triggered the stress instincts deep in Lingyi's soul. In the face of a potential civilization-destroying catastrophe, spiritual creatures would instantly enter a dormant state." Qishala said, "I need to go into the Spiritual Network to get the Spiritual Ability Restart Button to reset Lingyi's status, otherwise, we can only wait for the environmental conditions to be right for her to wake up herself."]

["Truly a wondrous existence." you exclaimed.]

["Yes, no one expected that Doctor Strange's theory on civilization propagation would actually be realized in reality." Qishala said.]

["Doctor Strange?"]

There should be no such card in the follower cards related to World No. 6.

Shen Sui recalled the information he had investigated earlier.

When Vivian told Shen Sui that something needed to be dealt with in World No. 6, Shen Sui specifically looked into it.

Couldn't see anything in World No. 6 that needed me to handle.

[Qishala explained: "It is a very predictive scientist with a very strange name in this world."]

["Strange name? How strange?"]

A strange name.

Ha, could it be stranger than the nickname I have in Dawn Continent?

Thankfully, the names in the game are self-written, otherwise, if every character called each other by nickname, I would have already died of embarrassment.

It wouldn't be surprising if Qishala was too shy to come into the real world.

["I remember his name seemed to be... Pure Love's Giant Eye."]

"????"
