Chapter 1578: Cataclysm Card Tome

[Slain: Mousi, apex of the Phantom Dragon]

[Repelled: Predatory Empire Broodmother]

[Killed King-tier Bugs: 149]

[Killed Soldier Bugs: 944,107]

[Calculating…]

[Unable to Exchange]

[Exchange Frozen…]

…

Early the next morning.

The war was still ongoing.

“Master, are you really not going to take a rest?”

Inside the Train, Ye Qiyan was draped in a heavy cloak, his physical weakness once again suppressed by his Mental Power.

[Stamina: 1 (True Weakness) (Cannot Recover)]

All night long, he had been using [Survivor] to continuously convert into Stamina, attempting to fill that bottomless pit of exhaustion.

His Stamina did not increase.

Because this kind of recovery merely let Mental Power substitute for the consumption of Stamina; Stamina was still being drained.

To truly recover, he needed a long, deep sleep.

But not right now.

Ye Qiyan could not sleep yet.

Even though he still appeared active on the surface, only he, Lisette, and the others knew best just how frail he truly was at this moment.

“Still too weak, huh.”

Ye Qiyan shook his head.

“If I could use the fourth ability of the Blasphemy Card at will without any cost, or if instead of having to rely on Dream Weaving, I possessed the baseline combat prowess on par with Mousi, then activating Dream Weaving would merely be icing on the cake, rather than desperately sending charcoal in the snow.

Then I wouldn’t be this exhausted right now.”

Lisette stood beside him, massaging his shoulders while Wall-E kneaded his legs.

“Master, you’re already very strong. Why not rest for a little while?”

“I’m fine. This stop isn’t over yet. If I fall asleep now, there’s quite a lot of things I won’t be able to collect. Lisette, do you still remember why we came to this stop?”

Lisette blinked.

“For the Train Coins.”

“Right! Exactly for the Train Coins!”

Ye Qiyan brought up his Storage Unit list.

Something had happened back in Order Heaven, completely severing communications with the front line; even that guy Fan Huo’s war command was entirely paralyzed.

The last message Fan Huo transmitted was that Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) and Mowen were fighting against Ling Tian and Cold.

After that, all signals went dead.

A massive defensive dome had even appeared over Order Heaven’s inland territory.

Ordinary people had no way of entering it.

But none of that mattered much to Ye Qiyan; only one thing truly mattered.

After killing so many bugs, all the gathered materials, and the kill counts to exchange—could they ultimately still be converted into Train Coins?

The answer was…

Yes.

But only after Order Heaven recovered.

Although Ellie, the customer service lady from the Black Market, said she could exchange the items into Train Coins for him in advance, the party that initiated this commission was Order Heaven, not the Black Market.

The massive amount of materials and Train Coins brought by Christine were all stored in Order Heaven’s capital bank.

If Ye Qiyan really let Ellie do that, in the event that Order Heaven collapsed or Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) died, there was a slight chance it might affect the quality of his level-up options.

Don’t forget what the next level was.

Level 40.

Ye Qiyan had looked forward to this for so long.

He would never allow any mishap to jeopardize his choices this time.

Therefore, he had to return to Order Heaven.

For nothing else.

Solely to make a trip to the bank, cash out his money, and leave.

As for the rest, Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) and the others could handle it themselves.

After all, he was no savior.

He only cared that his wealth remained unaffected.

Besides…

“Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) shouldn’t be that weak. After all, that guy is the King of Order. As for Mowen…”

Ye Qiyan narrowed his eyes, recalling that man.

“I’m genuinely a bit curious about what could have happened to make that man, who is normally so reluctant to make a move, actually get involved in the fighting there.”

Exactly what happened inside Order Heaven remained unknown.

What Cold? What Ling Tian?

He couldn’t make heads or tails of it either.

All he wanted was money.

“After fighting for so long and expending so much power, apart from the harvest from Mousi, there’s been practically nothing else.

Oh, right.

Myathira!”

Ye Qiyan reached out and lifted Myathira by two fingers as she lay draped over an iced cola, sipping away.

“M-M-Master! Myathira wasn’t drinking on the sly, just having a little taste!”

Ye Qiyan laughed out of exasperation and poked her cheek.

“I wasn’t talking about that. Did you forget something?”

“Eh? Oh! The quest, the quest! Right, Master’s exclusive quest is already completed!”

She fluttered her tiny wings at Ye Qiyan, tugging and stretching a small patch of the System Interface until it became a large display.

Rows of text appeared upon it.

[Quest Name: Victory]

[Status: Completed]

[Distributing Exclusive Quest Reward]

[Reward Obtained: Cataclysm Card Tome]

[Rank: None]

[Calamity Card · Exclusive Card Tome]

[Calamity Cards placed within can be used simultaneously by the Dominator of Calamity and their [Calamity Attendant]/[Natural Calamity Beast], and can transcend worlds to bestow the authority to use or recall [Calamity Cards] to/from the [Calamity Beast] and [Attendant]]

[Detected Supreme and Unsurpassed · Zenith World · Lisette possesses [Void Card Vault]. Equip Cataclysm Card Tome onto her?]

“Now this thing is quite interesting.”

Ye Qiyan’s eyes lit up as he looked at the reward details on the System Interface.

Battles were becoming increasingly troublesome now.

There was no telling when cross-world battles might actually occur.

Often, when he handed Calamity Cards over to Goshawk, Augustine, and the others, the Ring of Calamity behind him would be short on cards.

With this card tome, he could let Goshawk and the others wield the power of the Calamity Cards while ensuring his Ring of Calamity was never lacking cards.

What’s more, it possessed the ability to bestow and recall across worlds.

If he had to wage war across multiple worlds simultaneously in the future, this would allow him to fight with far greater flexibility.

“Master, Master~ Do you like it? This was specially prepared for you by Myathira~”

Ye Qiyan placed Myathira on his palm and gently poked her cheek.

“I like it. Myathira really is the most useful system after all.”

“Hehehe~”

Card tome extracted.

Falling into his hands, it was a blank book.

He raised his hand.

All nine Calamity Cards were gathered into the card tome.

“Huh? This thing actually has some potential? But… let’s wait until I return to my wilderness.”

Ye Qiyan didn’t want to use [Sublimation] here for the time being.

He handed the card tome to Lisette.

Although it was a tome, because there were cards inside,

it could still be stored in the Void Card Vault.

“Besides this, there’s another thing I could try to sublimate… or should I drink it now?”

[Potion: Secret Demon]

This was the gift Monroe Gina gave him after he arrived in Order Heaven.

He pondered and hesitated, but in the end, he put it away.

“No need to waste it here. With such high potential, it’d be too much of a pity to drink it without trying to sublimate it first.”

He was greedy~

And precisely because of that greed, he was who he was.
