Chapter 37: The God-Level Summon Card
Jiang Li's gaze was fixed on the golden summon card in his hand. He gently applied pressure with his right hand, and with a soft "bang," the sound echoed through the silent room, louder than expected.
The summon card instantly shattered, turning into specks of golden light that scattered into the air. Each speck of light seemed to contain a mysterious world.
Jiang Li stared intently ahead, not daring to blink, afraid of missing any detail.
He was eager to see which powerful being this golden summon card would summon.
As the golden light faded, like mist gradually lifting, a cluster of green willow leaves appeared suddenly before him.
The leaves floated quietly in mid-air, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura, as though they came from a distant, deep space-time.
"Hmm?"
"System, what's going on? Wasn't I supposed to summon a being? Why did a bunch of willow leaves appear?"
Jiang Li stared at the floating willow leaves, confused, and inquired mentally with the system.
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
Could the summon card have malfunctioned? Or maybe there was a glitch in the system?
[Host simply needs to infuse soul power into the willow leaves to understand.]
The cold voice of the system resonated clearly in Jiang Li's mind.
Despite his confusion, Jiang Li decided to follow the system's instructions.
He took a deep breath to calm his excitement, then slowly raised his right hand. A strand of soul power, like a delicate thread, flowed from his fingertip into the willow leaves.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a suffocatingly powerful aura erupted from the willow leaves, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly awakening.
"Not good!"
Jiang Li's expression changed abruptly as he felt the intense force. His pupils contracted sharply.
Without a moment to think, he immediately activated the Invincible Domain, trapping the energy within a confined space.
He knew that if this force were to leak out, with the current defenses of the Star Dou Auction House, the entire building might turn to dust, and everything would be obliterated.
Before him, the willow leaves seemed to come to life.
They suddenly emitted strange energy waves.
The waves spread outward like ripples, distorting space like a shattered mirror, creating layers of bizarre light.
In that moment, an illusion appeared—an upright willow tree standing in the void.
Its branches were long and jade-like, shimmering with a soft glow amidst the ethereal light. Thousands of willow branches swayed gently, each one translucent and sparkling with a soft, radiant glow, as though flowing with celestial elegance.
"Could it be the Willow God from the Perfect World?"
Jiang Li stared at the scene before him, an absurd thought crossing his mind.
The moment the thought emerged, he felt it was too unbelievable.
But soon, the scene ahead seemed to confirm his guess, making him believe in this seemingly absurd idea.
In the next moment, the willow branches shook violently, and the light and shadow vanished in an instant, the willow leaves disappearing like an illusion, leaving no trace behind.
At that moment, a woman in a green dress suddenly appeared before Jiang Li.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, each strand seemingly imbued with endless mystery, dancing through the air in mesmerizing arcs.
She emitted a pressure akin to that of heaven and earth. The force spread like a surging ocean, crashing waves towards all directions.
"Such powerful momentum!"
When Jiang Li felt this aura, his chest seemed to be weighed down by a massive boulder, making it hard to breathe.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and activated the Invincible Domain to block the overwhelming pressure.
Jiang Li was astonished. The power of the God-Level Summon Card exceeded his expectations, capable of summoning a world-shaking powerhouse like the Willow God.
In the Perfect World, the Willow God was a top-tier Immortal King at the beginning, renowned for her extraordinary strength and stunning beauty. In a world filled with powerful beings, she had gained great fame.
Later, she reached the strength of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, capable of destroying evil spirits with a sweep of her branches. Her power was unmatched, and with a wave of her willow branches, she could change the weather and darken the sun and moon.
Throughout the long river of time, she had witnessed countless rises and falls but remained standing, becoming an immortal legend in the Perfect World.
"Who are you? And where is this place?"
The Willow God softly parted her lips, her voice like a mountain spring—clear and pleasant but carrying an inherent authority.
She sensed that she had arrived in a strange world, her gaze scanning the surroundings with a look of curiosity, seeking the unknown.
Soon, with a thought, she perceived the entire landscape of the Douluo Continent. Her confusion deepened.
"This is such a weak world?"
"According to logic, this dimension shouldn't be able to carry even a part of my avatar. How did you manage to do this?"
The Willow God muttered, her delicate brows furrowing. Between her eyebrows, it seemed as if boundless wisdom and confusion were converging.
Her gaze was filled with perplexity. In her long life, she had never encountered something so unusual.
Although this willow leaf carried a portion of her aura and had a fraction of her power, this world shouldn't have been able to sustain it.
"Strange, I can't see your past or future."
The Willow God's gaze fell on Jiang Li, and her confusion grew deeper.
In this small world, she could see everyone's past and future clearly.
But for the man before her, his background seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach the truth.
Jiang Li didn't know how to respond to the Willow God's words.
His heart sank. The system was his biggest secret, and he couldn't reveal it easily.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the Willow God seemed to sense something. Her expression shifted slightly.
A strange light flickered in her eyes, as if sensing some mysterious force.
"Interesting. That figure makes my avatar obey you."
"Fine, I also want to explore this new world. It seems this world is entirely separate from the space-time of my main body."
A mysterious light flashed across the Willow God's face, but it quickly returned to her tranquil, otherworldly demeanor.
"If there's a need, I will act!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Willow God disappeared from where she stood and appeared in a room upstairs.
Jiang Li, who had been worrying about how to respond, sighed in relief upon hearing the Willow God's words.
It seemed that everything was being orchestrated by the system. Since it had summoned the Willow God's avatar to the Douluo Continent, it must have a way to handle any further issues.
According to the Willow God, this avatar would obey him.
Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions as he thought about it.
Even though this was only the Willow God's avatar, its strength was enough to crush everything.
In the divine realm of Douluo Continent, those revered as God Kings, high above with boundless power and dignity, could be obliterated with a single thought from the Willow God. They would be as fragile as ants.
Jiang Li felt more confident about the future.
Although the system helped him conceal the existence of the Star Dou Auction House, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be other anomalies detected by the divine realm.
Now that the Willow God was present in the Star Dou Auction House, it was like an indestructible fortress, and all threats would cease to exist.
