The dueling event in Coastal City quickly spread across the network.

The event was endorsed by the official of Coastal City, and the final prize was a 15-star Life Card, which was very tempting for a Life Card Master.

Soon, the students from Duel Academy, who were participating in the national competition in Coastal City, also signed up for this match.

"Did you see? Coastal City is hosting a big event." When Shen Sui returned to the hotel, Xinyuan Tanchun caught him immediately and asked excitedly, "Are you going to participate?"

Xinyuan Tanchun was very interested in events where powerful cards could be obtained as an extra reward.

Having escaped her family's control, she also lost their investment. Plus, Isabella had always been wary of her presence, preventing her from making progress with refreshing Life Cards. She could only strengthen her deck through Life Card trading.

Many cards in her deck were won back through similar events.

Shen Sui nodded and said, "I've already registered."

"The event lasts for three days." Xinyuan Tanchun calculated and said, "The event ends just in time for the finals of the national competition; you can totally treat it as a practice match."

"You're assuming I'm going to the finals." Shen Sui joked with a smile.

"One must have some beautiful fantasies." Xinyuan Tanchun smiled happily and patted Shen Sui on the shoulder.

Shen Sui shook his head with a smile, bid farewell to Xinyuan Tanchun, and hurried back to his room.

Freymia had just taken a shower, sitting there wrapped in a towel, drinking beer.

Her fair thighs swayed back and forth, appearing very happy.

Seeing Shen Sui come in, she raised her glass, took a sip of her beer with a smile, elegant and enchanting. Her long hair floated, shimmering with golden light.

Obviously, it was the cheapest beer, but Freymia managed to drink it like it was a noble red wine.

"You're back." Freymia asked with concern when she saw Shen Sui, "Did you see Vivian?"

She actually still had a bit of fear towards Vivian in her heart.

After all, Vivian had really intended to kill her at that time.

Of course, although she didn't kill her in the end, Vivian gave Freymia the punishment she deserved—she restored Freymia's memory.

Even if she could easily break the seal, Freymia would still be plunged into a long period of regret and pain.

This was also one of the reasons why Freymia's emotions exploded so intensely after seeing Shen Sui.

Shen Sui roughly explained Vivian's current state to Freymia.

"Oh, called An Wei." Freymia nodded, deciding not to go out casually during this time, and to avoid all women with the surname An.

Shen Sui didn't have so many thoughts. He sat on a chair by the window and opened his Dueling Device.

Alice had already reached the Elf Forest, and the recent notification came from Aina's Alternate Art Card.

[Alice followed your guidance and left Andrew City with Anna and her party.]

[Andrew Church had turned into ruins in her flames.]

[But looking at the ruins before her, Alice didn't feel any joy.]

[How could merely burning down a church of the Master of Thunder end the tragedies that happened to her parents?]

[Alice became more determined in her thoughts.]

[Alice returned to the Elf Forest, where Aina, wearing the Empress's crown, happily welcomed her back.]

[Ding! Your follower has obtained an Alternate Art Card: Holy Child Elf · Acting Empress · Aina]

[You can go to the Life Card Slot to update the Alternate Art Card.]

[Andori was very happy to welcome Alice's return.]

Shen Sui quickly typed in the text.

[You appeared, summoning the Elemental Empresses.]

[The Elemental Empresses responded to your call and returned to your side.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Fire Element Empress · Lina]

[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Water Element Empress · Diana]

[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Wind Element Empress · Xitaia]

[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Thunder Element Empress · Loyda]

[Ding! You have obtained the Follower Card: Rock Element Empress · Rafra]

Shen Sui immediately gained five Elemental Empress follower cards, adding to the Follower Card of Andori he had before; out of the eight Elemental Empresses, Shen Sui had recovered six.

The remaining Light and Darkness elements, Shen Sui could only sense their approximate locations and needed Alice to actively search for them.

Of course, the Elemental Empresses were not Shen Sui's primary goal this time.

Regarding his current Alice + Golden Ship unfolding strategy, besides allowing Alice to keep changing forms, Shen Sui still lacked many corresponding star-level follower cards.

Alice's forms range from 1-star to 8-star, but Shen Sui's follower cards were not evenly distributed.

Excluding Alice, his only 1-star follower card was the initial Wind Element. From 2-star to 4-star, there was a complete lack of follower cards; 5-star was the most abundant, including the Silver Moon Wolf King, and all Puppet Cards, which were at 5-star; 6-star had only Oshana, after which there was a void.

Although there were many Spiritual Followers, due to Alice's current progress, most of them were concentrated below 5-star, and lacking an endpoint, they didn't have the high utility of the Puppets, so Shen Sui didn't add them to the deck.

The most crucial issue is... these Spiritual Followers were too ugly.

The Elemental Empresses were all 13-star Follower Cards, and with Alice only at eighth-tier, while Qishala and Freymia were at fourteenth-tier, it was difficult for Shen Sui to bring them out through the Golden Ship's effect.

Thus, Shen Sui planned to strengthen the follower cards in his deck.

Otherwise, every time the form changes, the Golden Ship would run idle.

The special summon of followers doesn't necessarily need to have the effect applied; it can also serve as a transitional cost, making it quite suitable for Shen Sui's storytelling deck.

This huge demand for follower cards isn't something Alice can solve easily on her own through strategy guides.

So Shen Sui decided to take a shortcut.

Just in time, Alice also wanted to become stronger, so Shen Sui gave Alice some suggestions.

First, continue to increase the research on special puppets. Substitute Puppets and Sacrificial Puppets have helped Alice a lot in real battles, and Alice can keep exploring some powerful puppets to increase her margin for error.

On the other hand, let the Elemental Empresses tailor a whole set of elemental life systems for Alice.

Just like when Andori made a whole set of elemental followers for Shen Sui in the past.

You specifically emphasize that these elemental lifeforms must be cute girls.

Shen Sui specifically emphasized this.

Even if elemental lifeforms can't be used, they should still be eye-pleasing in the deck.

Then, something Shen Sui didn't expect happened:

Just now, Alice pulled a move on Shen Sui.

Alice, in a chat with Lingyi, unintentionally learned some characteristics of spiritual life.

Due to the fusion feature of civilization, spiritual life can also merge with each other to form new spiritual life.

In Lingyi's world, this phenomenon is called Spiritual Network Stacking.

Fusion?

Excess?

Shen Sui looked at this text with a bit of confusion.

Soon, Alice solved this problem for Shen Sui.

She had too many spiritual life forms following her, and Alice easily found several volunteers among her followers to experiment with.

Actually, Alice doesn't lack powerful helpers, but she feels that as the spiritual totem of the Twilight Legion, it's necessary to prepare some extraordinary forces for this uprising army formed by farmers.

Alice plans to create some powerful spiritual life through the method of Spiritual Network Stacking to escort the Twilight Legion.

Alice created Spiritual Life: Radiant Lion.

Ding! You have received a follower card: Spiritual Life: Radiant Lion

******

Card Name: Spiritual Life: Radiant Lion

Category: Follower Card

Star Level: 5 stars

Effect: This follower can't be normally summoned.

① You can select two 5-star or higher follower cards from the deck, stack them, and special summon this follower from your hand;

② Once per turn, you can remove a stacked material to increase this follower's spirit value by 500.

Spirit Value: 2000

*****

Shen Sui looked at the card in his hand, finding it fascinating,

a bit like Oppa, but it needs to be added to the hand to summon, yet the stacked material doesn't need to be selected on the field, directly searchable from the deck.

This special summoning effect of the follower card can completely be used as a search and send-to-grave effect. For example, stacking it by searching Malicious Puppet and Substitute Puppet from the deck, special summon it, immediately detach the material to send Malicious Puppet to the grave, then activate Malicious Puppet's effect to start Shen Sui's expansion.

Wow, thinking this way, it seems incredibly powerful as a transition card.

It doesn't even need to activate the effect; after being special summoned, just liberate this follower, not only gaining 5 soul points for free but also searching two followers with graveyard effects for stacking.

Nicely done this time, Alice.

The more Shen Sui thought about it, the more satisfied he felt, even urging Alice to stack more.

Unfortunately, this stacking evolution of spiritual life requires finding suitable spiritual life forms with similar characteristics, and even though Alice has nearly a hundred spiritual life followers, she only found six suitable adaptors.

With the help of Lingyi, Alice quickly perfected this method of evolution.

Alice seeks your help.

Asking if you have a way to connect the two worlds.

She wants more civilians to form pacts with spiritual life.

She plans to let civilians have easy access to extraordinary powers.

Alice has no idea what her idea implies.

Power is always the root of chaos.

Shen Sui's feelings were a bit complicated.

Happy? Not exactly, after all, Alice is indeed bringing some potential sources of chaos to the Dawn Continent.

But to say he's unhappy, not really either.

Because if this action can really spread, it will also be a good way for civilians to gain extraordinary power.

Moreover, it is a win-win situation for the Dawn Continent and the Spiritual World.

Balance is often disrupted by external forces.
