Three people had caused the current situation——Tang Muzhou's Shifu had established the foundation of plant cards with the Wood attribute; Nie Yuandao had perfected the design of land animals with the Fire attribute and flying animals; Su Yang had extended the card pool of all the marine creatures with the Water attribute. As early as the first season, the Arena had been awash with plant cards and animal cards, which gave players an illusion that plant cards and animal cards were the strongest cards in the Star Card World. And the idea was still hard to change these days. After all, the plant card group and the animal card group had a history of a whole nine years. Other card categories couldn't compete with them in reference to their card groups' variety.

During the second season, the appearance of weapon cards and stone spirit cards were credited to the two legends, Zheng Feng and Ling Jingtang. Ling Jingtang had personified all his weapon cards, for example, his [Peerless Sword] was a teenage girl holding swords. While every stone spirit and golem that Zheng Feng made also belonged to the personification of objects. Hence, the authorities directly added the classification "Spirit of Non-Creatures" that included all the object cards.

The Spirit of Creatures card group was closely related to Gui Sirui. His ghost cards had brought a bunch of players and original card designers who were obsessed with horrifying and supernatural things. After the appearance of ghost cards, all kinds of cards such as zombies,witches and vampires had sprung up. And all these dark cards had been classified as "Spirit of Creature" by the authorities.

There had been so many human cards since the first season. However, a complete human card system hadn't been formed yet and so far no one had won first prize by using human cards. The reason was that there was another card group that was much stronger than human cards and both of them were in human shape——God card group!

Tang Muzhou briefly introduced the card classifications to Xie Mingzhe and then he listed several God cards, "In the God card group, the most famous one is Odin, the king of all gods. Other God cards, such as Loki (God of Evil), Poseidon (God of the Sea), Archangel Michael, Fallen Angel Lucifer and so forth, are very strong. God cards are immune to the instant death effect, so it is hard to target them with IDE cards. The way to deal with god cards is to break the phantasm or to directly seal the real body."

Xie Mingzhe, "........."

Weren't these characters gods in Norse and Greek mythology? Didn't these western myths disappear as the Earth was destroyed? In order to confirm for himself, Xie Mingzhe asked, "Legend Tang, have you heard about the myths about Lucifer and Michael?"

"Yes, but I'm not so familiar with them." Tang Muzhou answered, "A player in Pantheon is named Xu Xingtu who enjoys myths very much. He expressly carried out research into the mythology and has allegedly published many academic papers about myths and legends. However, he only knows these stories. He doesn't make cards himself. The detailed design of the card skills is the duty of the designer in his club."

Xie Mingzhe was surprised——since Tang Muzhou had heard about characters like Lucifer and Michael, this meant that western mythology stories didn't completely disappear in the world. On the other hand, it was oriental culture that had a gap.

Xie Mingzhe was very anxious to write novels according to the stories in his mind so that other people would know about the ancient oriental culture. Unfortunately, he was a really bad writer and he couldn't make those stories shine like they did in his mind.

Since there were occidental gods in the game, the existence of oriental gods would be reasonable in principle.

Such as Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Guanyin and Buddha in Journey to the West, as well as Nüwa, Fuxi and Shennong from mythological stories......If these characters were really made into cards, it would be hard to tell who would win since this would be a competition between gods.
