Chapter 372: Confession with World Consciousness
Hearing Russell's words, the world consciousness sighed with some regret, and then turned back into the white figure before: "It seems that you don't like it very much."

"But don't worry, I don't have the ability to pull humans into Valhalla, otherwise the world wouldn't have become what it is now."

Russell was just joking. He sat down cross-legged on the ground and looked around the pure white space. "Why haven't I heard of this place before?"

A long time ago, when he was talking with Fang Wenlong and several card makers, he learned that after being promoted to the master level, one could vaguely perceive the state of world consciousness, but he had never heard of anyone who could communicate face to face with world consciousness like he could.

There is not even any written record of this space.

At this time, the World Consciousness leaned back slightly, with its hands on the ground. Its head, whose face could not be seen clearly, tilted slightly: "Because you are different from them."

"?"

Russell was stunned. He naturally knew that he was different from most card makers on Blue Star. He realized this after meeting Xingu.

But further details are unknown.

Fortunately, the world consciousness is not here to be a riddler this time.

Just as he had said before in the secret realm of Fox Jiu, this time he would tell everything to the "young man" in front of him.

Everything, including the strangeness of the youth card making, including the strange strength of the youth card
Including the origin of youth.

The World Consciousness leaned forward, placed his hands on his knees, stared straight at Russell and said, "You should have discovered when you were making cards before that most of the cards you have now can be successfully made, even if the stories compiled when making the cards are relatively simple."

Hearing this, Russell nodded silently. This was also something that had always been strange about him.

Although Fang Wenlong said that the world consciousness would give preferential treatment to talented card makers and would relax some of the judgments when making cards, Russell felt that he seemed to be a little too lenient.

As if seeing what he was thinking, the World Consciousness shook its head slightly and said, "I told you, you are different from them."

"I can indeed relax the judgment when those kids make cards, but it requires me to pay a small price."

"After all, the essence of the material is the condensation of demonic power. The so-called card making failure is just because the story and the power are not appropriate. If they want to relax the judgment, then naturally I need to slightly modify the nature of this power for them to make it more in line with the story they provided."

Russell suddenly understood.

He didn't ask why the world consciousness could only make small-scale modifications. After all, the other party said that a price needed to be paid, so doing so would undoubtedly deplete the power of the world consciousness itself.

If the modifications were really carried out unscrupulously, there would be no need for demons to invade, and the world consciousness would probably have been drained long ago.

After all, the card maker is more like the world's immune mechanism. Its essence is to eliminate the invading demons, and then obtain nourishment from them, and finally form a sustainable self-circulation.

If everything requires the help of the world consciousness, it would be better for him to do it himself.

At this time, the world consciousness saw Russell's thoughtful expression and knew that there was no need for him to explain in detail, so he continued: "But you are not. From the beginning to the end, except for [Spider Girl], I have never interfered with your card making."

Hearing this, Russell immediately thought of Spider-Girl's outrageous characteristic of "immortality".

The world consciousness nodded: "【Immortality】 was formed due to my interference. Under normal circumstances, this characteristic would not be generated."

"As for the reason."

"Just think of it as an insurance policy I've taken out for you. After all, you've finally made it this far, and I can't bear to let you perish like this."

Russell was suddenly speechless.

He finally understood why the effective range of [Immortality] was only Blue Star. It turned out that it was because the world consciousness in front of him was paying the price.

But he had to admit that since he was promoted to diamond level, if it weren't for Spider-Man's [Immortality] characteristic, he would have died countless times.

After a moment of silence, Russell asked, "So the reason why I can make cards so easily is because of me, right?"

Hearing this, the world consciousness nodded: "That's right."

"you"

"Like me, you are all world consciousness."

"Russell."

"We are the same kind."

"This is why you are here."

Hearing such explosive news, Russell opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although he had already had some vague guesses before, he still found it difficult to control himself in the face of such shocking news.

The world consciousness just looked at the young man quietly, waiting for him to digest the information.

After a long while, seeing that Russell had calmed down again, the white figure continued, "So those stories were originally hidden in your body. When you made the card, you just read the information."

"And the reason why the cards you make are much stronger than those made by ordinary people is naturally because of this reason."

At this moment, Russell suddenly caught a blind spot.

He looked at the world consciousness on the other side with some suspicion and asked, "Then why do I only remember things related to the second dimension?"

You can't say that your world consciousness is also a otaku, right?

And the key point is that at this moment, in his mind, there is only the memory of an individual named "Russell", and there is no information about world consciousness at all.

In response to Russell's question, the white figure raised his hand and scratched his face.

Although he had no facial features, Russell still saw a hint of embarrassment in his movements.

The world consciousness was silent for a while, coughed lightly, and then said, "Because you are not complete."

"You know that some animals chew their cud, right?"

"Your current state is just like the food they vomited out, just leftovers."

".It's just that I'm the one who ate you."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Russell raised his dead fish eyes, and after a moment he pulled the corners of his mouth and complained: "Can't you change to a slightly better description?"

"gross."

But to be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the words of the world consciousness. After all, what the other party did was most likely for survival. Another point is that until now he himself had no real sense that he was the world consciousness.

As for how his world consciousness appeared in this world.
Combined with the appearance of Xingu, things become very simple.

The earth should have disappeared, and there is a high probability that it has even turned into a mysterious place.

Although I have no relatives on earth, it is still hard not to feel a little sad.

Thinking of this, Russell sighed silently, and then asked a question: "How did you think of spitting me out?"

In response to Russell's question, the World Consciousness said with a nostalgic tone: "To be honest, I have eaten a lot of the same kind over the years."

"Most of them are of little value, they just help me replenish some strength."

"But some still retain the spark of resistance."

"Just like you."

At this point, the white figure paused before continuing, "To be honest, when I first saw you, I never thought there would be someone as stubborn as you among my kind."

"At first I was going to eat you up like before."

"But" "Finally, I decided to give it a try. After all, I have been under increasing pressure in recent years, and just replenishing that little bit of strength is simply a drop in the bucket."

"It's just that by then I had already digested most of you, so after I vomited you out, only this much was left."

“But now it seems that I did the right thing.”

As if fearing that Russell might misunderstand, the World Consciousness immediately added: "But in fact, you have already been eaten by someone before I ate you."

"So your current state is not entirely caused by me."

Russell was also speechless. He didn't expect that he would be criticized twice.

Then he thought of Xingu. It seemed that the boy was in a similar condition as himself.

At this time, the world consciousness suddenly asked: "So."

"Should I call you Earth now, or..."

"Russell?"

Faced with this question, Russell fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Call me Russell."

The past cannot be retrieved. Not to mention that the young man no longer has the memory of himself as a world consciousness, the more crucial thing is that he has already had his own ties on Blue Star.

He is now just an individual named "Russell", nothing more.

The world consciousness did not seem surprised by his choice, but rather it was what it expected.

Shaking his head, Russell was ready to skip this topic: "By the way, did you arrange the materials I obtained in the secret realm before?"

This is something the young man has always been very curious about. If all the materials he obtained were coincidences, then his luck was too good.

As expected, the world consciousness nodded slightly to confirm his guess, but then shook its head: "Some are, some are not."

"After all, I don't have time to keep staring at you."

"And part of the reason for this meeting is to teach you this method of replacing materials. After all, you don't need to go through me when making cards after you reach the master level."

Hearing this, Russell's heart began to beat uncontrollably. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. But then he caught another key message: "What do you mean the card making doesn't need to go through you?"

Faced with his continuous inquiries, the World Consciousness did not seem impatient, but patiently explained: "After you are promoted to the master level, you will have your own card making space, and you can also perform simple conversions on some materials."

"After all, we are the same kind. You can do what I can do, too. It's just that you are a remnant, so you can only do these things after you are promoted to the master level."

"That's why I, the master, chose to meet you."

"Of course, if you keep rising through the ranks, you'll be like me one day."

Upon hearing this, Russell's first reaction was that Jin Ping's lifelong pursuit had actually been achieved so easily by himself.

Maybe this is the difference between people. Some people pursue something all their lives, but for others, it is something they are born with.

As if sensing his inner thoughts, the World Consciousness said in a somewhat strange tone: "Those rebellious children, I just closed their access to the card-making space."

"I can't interfere with other things."

"And after a normal card maker is promoted to the Hall of Fame level, he or she must find a way to make cards independently from me. This is the key for them to move to the next step."

But to be honest, the world consciousness doesn't know how to allow a normal card maker to make cards independently without him, otherwise Blue Star would not have fallen to its current state.

It was at this time that Russell finally figured out why Adley's attitude was so strange.

There is no doubt that the plan of this hall-level card maker of the Indo-American Federation is similar to that of the Skinner, but he still has some conscience in his heart, so he allowed him to expel the Four Evil Gods.

Shaking his head slightly, World Consciousness brought the topic back on track: "Let's talk business. Please accept the document."

"?"

[The world consciousness is sending you a face-to-face quick message].

Russell's mind suddenly rang with these words, and he chose to accept them without thinking.
Nothing happened.

"Okay, you'll know how to do it when you return to your card-making space." World Consciousness shrugged. "Anything else you want to ask?"

Hearing this, Russell thought about it carefully, then nodded and asked in a serious tone: "Can you tell me the name of the mastermind behind this?"

Of course, the world consciousness had no objection to this. He just reminded: "It's okay to tell you, but don't say anything when you go out later."

"【World Devouring Disaster】."

"His name."

Russell silently memorized the name, and then said to the white figure in front of him: "No problem, send me out."

"it is good."

As the world consciousness finished speaking, Russell's figure flashed and then disappeared from the spot.

Seeing that he was the only one left, the white figure slowly stood up.

As he moved, the pure white space quickly collapsed and turned into a starry sky in a few seconds.

Looking at the blue star beneath its feet, the World Consciousness whispered, "Grow up as quickly as possible."

"I can't hold out much longer."

the other side.

Russell's eyes blurred and he found that he had left the pure white space and came to a place that was exactly the same as the mysterious space when he made the card before.

But unlike the dead silence of the mysterious space, this young man always feels a homely warmth.

More importantly, he felt as if he could manipulate this space at will.

As Russell's mind moved slightly, the dark void around him suddenly began to fluctuate.

The next moment, a huge manor appeared out of thin air.

It is Russell’s residence in Nandu.

Seeing this scene, the young man raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

But if it was just one person, the manor would still be a bit empty, so in the end Russell just turned this space into his study in Nandu.

As soon as he sat down on the chair, Russell found a strange interface floating on the desk.

[Card-making world awareness quick training system v0.1].

"What's this??"

Russell couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Judging from the name, this should be what the world consciousness gave him.

With curiosity, he stretched out his right hand and touched the interface.
