Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1399 - Chapter 1399 Chapter 430 Settlement of Passing the Level

Chapter 1399: Chapter 430 Settlement of Passing the Level Chapter 1399: Chapter 430 Settlement of Passing the Level If anyone in this Cavern World still knows about the Spell Clay Pots sealing the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs, Leonard Churchill felt that the Taron Grand Priest, inheritor through generations, is likely one of the few who do.

The confirmed information now is: At least seven mysterious pottery jars that date back to the Chaotic Era have been transmitted, and within these jars, the “Seven Catastrophes Monarchs” are sealed.

So the question arises.

Leonard has always been curious about who made these jars, what their motives were, and why they sealed the Outer Gods, among other peculiarities of these beings…

According to the history of Taron, these seven entities have escaped their seals multiple times for various reasons, each time causing immense disasters and loss of life.

Wars, plagues, extreme climates, worm infestations… and so on.

However, a situation like Taren’s End Period, where all seven Outer Gods escaped at once, seems to be unprecedented.

This was what puzzled him.

Other God Tier beings can be killed, so why are those seven Outer Gods indestructible?

Could it be there are differences even among God Tier beings?

Furthermore, Leonard always felt that these jars were “intentionally” left behind by someone.

And anyone capable of leaving behind such jars must be of an extremely high tier, certainly not just to bring a bit of disaster for mere mischief, right?

So, what was their purpose?

…

Since he had asked, of course, he intended to listen.

“Originally, it was still too early for you to deal with this issue. But, since we might not have many opportunities to talk… well, since you want to hear, I’ll tell you about the origins of these [God-Sealing Jars]…”

Will Smith thought for a moment, then explained: “However, to explain this… we have to start with the card master’s unique advancement method for their Transcendent system.”

Not only Leonard but Camilla and Tracy Garcia were very curious as well.

The trio was solemn, awaiting the continuation.

Will Smith said, “Once a card master reaches the peak of the Ninth-Order Holy Realm, the formation of Godhood requires the condensation of their own ‘Great Rune,’ which is actually a manifestation of their understanding of Universe Law and rules turned into a solid Divine Power Crystal. Of course, language can’t accurately describe this realm. You only need to know that the cultivation path of a card master is essentially different from other Transcendent routes.”

Leonard and his companions nodded.

Will Smith continued: “And after you have condensed your Godhood, you have a very thorough understanding of the cosmos. In other words, unless it’s some very special place, you nearly can’t gain higher Transcendent insight from your environment. You must have heard the ancient saying, an Extraordinary Man cannot conceive of rules that do not exist in the universe.”

Leonard fell into deep thought: “???”

Tracy blinked her wide eyes in confusion: “???”

Camilla’s delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed: “???”

What?

For them, the secrets of the real universe were too numerous, the Laws of which they had only begun to scratch the surface…

The three clearly could not comprehend that realm, the mere thought of which was beyond their imagination.

Not surprised by their baffled expressions, Will Smith explained with a smile: “This is a bit abstract to talk about. Transcendent cultivation is similar to… boiling water. The card master’s deepening understanding of the Laws is like the rising temperature of the water. However, when your temperature reaches a certain height, going beyond the environment that’s providing you with heat, it becomes difficult to absorb heat from the outside. On the contrary, you might even lose some…”

This analogy made things more relatable.

Leonard and the others seemed to have an epiphany.

Is this the perspective of a card master at their peak?

Pausing for a moment, Will Smith said: “And if an Outer God wants to maintain their Divine Power without decline, or even advance further… they must look for some external force.”

Triggered by this statement, Tracy seemed to realize something and instantly understood, asking, “So, Ancestor, is this why Outer Gods collect faith?”

“Yes.”

Will Smith nodded gently and tranquilly: “That’s one of the reasons. It’s also the most important pathway.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard and the others finally understood the connection between faith and the growth of a god’s power.

But obviously, it wasn’t that simple.

Pausing again, Will Smith asked again: “However, our card masters’ Transcendent progression isn’t reliant on faith, so what other methods do you think there are?”

Prompted by this, Tracy and Camilla both fell into thought.

A spark of intelligence flashed through Leonard’s eyes, and he responded: “Plunder.”

“Correct!”

Will Smith looked at Leonard with a face full of approval, knowing he had grasped the concept.

She continued: “And our card masters’ fusion with professional Material for advancement is actually the taking of Extraordinary Traits from other transcendent substances in the universe. This method can still be used after the condensation of Godhood, which is what makes our card master heritage so powerful and special. But truly at God Tier, the needed Extraordinary Traits are also very high-end, difficult to find in the Plane… after all, the Material needed for a card master’s profession has to be of a higher tier than oneself.”

With this statement, the three seemingly all understood.

Transcendent advancement requires Materials that are almost one major tier higher.

Just like Leonard, who is at the Sixth Tier, needs Seventh Rank Material for advancement.

This doesn’t pose a dilemma for him at his Realm, as if he can’t overcome a Seventh Rank Catastrophe, stronger card masters can help him find Materials.

He has never encountered the problem of not being able to find Material.

But what if you are the ceiling, say, at the God Tier?

Where would the Material come from?

And where are there so many God Tier Materials for you to find?

A moment of enlightenment struck Leonard, and he suddenly realized: “So… those jars, they are the source of Materials?”

Upon his realization, the expressions of Tracy and Camilla next to him were also quite remarkable.
