181: The starry sky trembled, a return is possible!

Earth!

It really is Earth!

The flame heart crown, this last legacy from the Sai'an Civilization, actually possesses… the coordinates to return to Earth?!

Holy crap!

An unprecedented ecstasy!

He seemed to see a path spanning the endless star sea appear before his eyes!

He had thought of countless possibilities, thought that he might have to struggle his entire life in this card world, thought that he might never return home.

Yet he had never imagined that hope would arrive in such a sudden and shocking manner!

“It… can it really… take me back?”

“Theoretically, yes.”

“The Nine Heavens Grand Array's built-in star map coordinates and its Space Warp engine, as long as there is sufficient energy, and the target coordinate point has not undergone destructive changes sufficient to erase its fundamental law positioning in the universe, it can perform positioning and teleportation.”

“Earth, as a stable planet within the solar system, its cosmic coordinates are relatively constant on a macroscopic scale.”

“As long as the crown can be fully activated and accumulate enough energy…”

Yan gave an affirmative answer.

It can!

He really can go back!

But!

Fully activated?

Enough energy?

These two words were undoubtedly prerequisites.

This also meant that he finally had a main quest in this Card Continent's “instance”!

Third-tier energy not enough?

What about Seventh-Tier?

Eighth-Tier? Or even Ninth-Tier!!!

One gold card not enough?

What about ten?

A hundred? Or even a thousand, ten thousand!!!

The future is promising!

Just as this consciousness communication was happening,

Lu Yuan suddenly sensed that the energy fluctuations of the Nine Heavens Grand Array above Mobei Province city were abnormally intense!

It pulled him back to reality!

Moreover… Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a huge, immediate threat.

“That… that High Priest who chased me in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm before!”

His eyes suddenly became sharp.

“You said before that he is also a survivor of your sai'an clan?”

If the High Priest was also a sai'an clan member, then things would become complicated.

More importantly, if Lu Yuan truly wanted to inherit the flame heart crown, then the High Priest would be an unavoidable obstacle.

The terror of a Seventh-Tier Venerable's strength, Lu Yuan had already personally experienced.

If it weren't for the miraculous effect of the Infinite Shuttle card at the last moment, he would have been utterly annihilated.

Yan's consciousness fell silent for a moment, seemingly sensing and analyzing something.

“His life aura has some similarities with the Sai'an Clan bloodline imprint remaining within the crown.”

Yan said slowly.

“But it is impure andmiscellaneous, seemingly having undergone deep integration and mutation with some indigenous power of this world.”

“There are multiple reasons!”

“Perhaps, when the crown fell into the Lost Water Realm, some of the clan's 'Fire Seeds' were scattered, and under the special rules of that nascent world, they struggled to survive and were elevated by those indigenous beings to become their spiritual leaders.”

“His power is more derived from the origin of that world, rather than pure Sai'an inheritance.”

“Secondly, after the rule transformation of the card Universe, his body became even more impure!”

“However…”

Yan's tone shifted again, this time with an undeniable majesty and confidence.

“No matter how his bloodline has mutated, no matter what power he possesses now, as long as there is a trace of Sai'an blood flowing in him, as long as the primal reverence for Sai'an Royal Authority is etched deep in his soul…”

“Then, if you gain the true recognition of the flame heart crown and completely control its authority…”

“He will surely submit to you.”

“Even become your most loyal guardian.”

Lu Yuan was stunned… submit?!

His eyes instantly lit up, “Is that true?!”

If he could subdue a Seventh-Tier Venerable as a subordinate, then in this card world, he could almost walk sideways!

Based on his current knowledge.

What “Fire Seed” organization, what potential enemies, would no longer be a threat!

More importantly, with such a powerful ally, his future plan to find resources, activate the crown, and return to Earth would undoubtedly be countless times smoother!

“Absolutely true.”

Yan's answer was decisive, a kind of absolute confidence originating from the depths of bloodline and Royal Authority.

“The flame heart crown is not merely a vessel for the inheritance of civilization; it is also the symbol of the Sai'an Civilization's supreme Royal Authority.”

“During our clan's most prosperous period, wherever the crown went, all races submitted. The Royal Authority Law inscribed upon it is a brand from the deepest part of the soul for every Sai'an Clan member, irresistible and unchallengeable.”

“The sensing of bloodline and the suppression of Royal Authority are among the most fundamental laws inscribed in the soul genes of every Sai'an Clan member.”

“As long as you can fully activate and control the crown, releasing its true power, then any Sai'an survivor, no matter where he is, no matter how powerful he becomes, upon sensing the arrival of pure Royal Authority, will instinctively pledge allegiance to you.”

“This is the core of Order that the Sai'an Civilization condensed over hundreds of millions of years, and it is also the cornerstone upon which we maintained our vast interstellar empire.”

Lu Yuan listened with surging emotions!

Symbol of Royal Authority!

Bloodline suppression!

Pledge allegiance to me!

The true power of the flame heart crown was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

This was no longer just an item; it was more like a key to unlock supreme authority!

He seemed to already see the scene of that arrogant High Priest kneeling before him!

Tsk tsk tsk… a surge of lofty ambition stirred in his chest!

“Whew…”

But he knew that all of this had a prerequisite—to fully activate and control the flame heart crown.

If you don't understand, ask!

“Then… how can I fully activate and control the crown?”

This was the most crucial question.

Yan's voice returned to calmness, stating gravely.

“This is not easy.”

“First, you need to provide the crown with extremely vast and pure fire-attribute energy.”

“the crown, during its long wanderings and battles, had long since run out of energy and suffered core damage. The fact that Little Red could integrate into it and be nourished had already exhausted the last trace of its original Fire Seed power.”

“To restore some of its former power, the fire-attribute energy required will be an astronomical figure. At the very least, it must be comparable to the total energy released by several stars burning at full power for a hundred years in their prime, and it must be a highly condensed, pure fire source.”

Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched as he listened.

The total energy of several stars for a hundred years?!

What the hell kind of concept was that?!

Even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be able to gather it!

“Secondly,” Yan didn't give Lu Yuan much time to be shocked, continuing, “you need to possess mental power far beyond your current level.”

“the crown carries the entire wisdom and history of a high-level civilization; its information is vast as the ocean. To initially wield it, your mental power must at least reach the level where you can stably tear space and perform short-distance interstellar travel.”

“That is to say, what you call in this world… at least the mental power strength of a Seventh-Tier Venerable.”

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

The mental power strength of a Seventh-Tier Venerable… He was only Third-Tier now; this gap was more terrifying than a chasm.

Damn it!

It was like wishing.

“Finally, and most crucially,” Yan's tone became even more solemn, “you need to have a deeper understanding and comprehension of the Flame Law.”

“The essence of the flame heart crown is the Sai'an Civilization's ultimate application and manifestation of the 'Origin of Fire' in the universe. The deeper your understanding of the Flame Law, the more you will resonate with the crown, thereby gradually unlocking its permissions and ultimately controlling its power.”

“Currently, you have only initially worn the crown because it sensed the close connection between Little Red and you, as well as that special desire in your soul, and only then did it barely establish an initial mental link with you, granting you some very basic permissions, such as accommodating Little Red's soul, and initial energy absorption and nurturing functions.”

“You still have a very, very long way to go before truly controlling it.”

Vast and pure fire-attribute energy.

Mental power comparable to a Seventh-Tier Venerable.

A deep understanding of the Flame Law.

These three conditions, like three towering mountains, pressed before Lu Yuan.

Any one of them would be enough to deter most people.

Lu Yuan fell silent.

The light and shadow in his consciousness space flowed slowly around him, reflecting his contemplative face.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his eyes showing no trace of retreat or dejection, but instead burning with an unprecedented fighting spirit!

Yes, it was difficult!

So difficult it was almost impossible!

But, compared to the ultimate goal of returning to Earth, what were all these difficulties?!

He could pay any price to go home!

“I understand.”

“Energy, mental power, law comprehension…”

“I will obtain them!”

“Yan, just wait, one day, I will make you, and the flame heart crown, reappear in your former glory!”

“And then…”

“Take me home!”
