Chapter 445: The Divine Contract

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Yuan’s gaze flickered. It seemed he worried the Immortal Lord more than he thought he would.

However, he still didn’t have complete confidence in himself.

The sealing stone with Ferula’s soul fragment made him wary. That being said, what the Immortal Lord offered was indeed intriguing. If it was before, he would have gladly accepted.

“Apologies… but your divine kingdom holds no value for me,” said Xu Yuan.

“It could become your divine realm in the future. It’ll belong to you completely!” said the Immortal Lord earnestly.

“We already have our own plane. You can keep this sealed land for yourself!” Xu Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

‘They already have a plane of their own?’

The Immortal Lord looked at Xu Yuan. His gaze lingered on the ancient god statue. That statue was of great power. It made sense that the dragon didn’t see a personal plane as something great.

The Immortal finally felt that Xu Yuan was worthy of being an equal. However, the problem now was that his bargaining chip wasn’t adequate.

He didn’t have much to offer at the moment.

“I have a special treasure in my possession that can refine the energy of this sealed land and infuse it into the soul fragment within the sealing stone. With that, the centaur guardian will be able to have a portion of my divine power!”

Xu Yuan was interested. If Ferula could wield divine power, it would be something!

The birth of divinity required igniting the divine flame, tempering one’s own body with that flame, and undergoing a transformation that turned something mortal into a divine being. These people then became demigods.

Xu Yuan was curious about the kind of power the Immortal Lord’s divine flame would bring forth.

When he saw that the offer had interested Xu Yuan, the Immortal Lord relaxed a little. He was still worried that his offer might not be enough.

“Tens and thousands of years ago, I was swept into the Battle of the Gods that had become inevitable,” said the Immortal Lord. “In the war, I encountered an enemy who was about to ascend to a supreme divine being. He was the God of the Wilderness.”

“In the War of the Gods, there was no right or wrong… no good or evil. That war lasted ten years. In the end, the God of the Wilderness, together with other gods, breached my divine kingdom. The price he paid was the erosion of his own power. Before I fell, I sealed a portion of my enemy’s power within myself.”

“The God of the Wilderness refused to submit. I was sealed here. They expected me to wither away. That idiot didn’t know he would perish soon after. The sealed power is still here. The power of Rules…”

Xu Yuan hadn’t known that there was such a secret hidden here.

“I can infuse the Power of Rules into the sealing stone. The centaur will directly inherit the power when the soul fragment returns to her body,” said the Immortal Lord.

“That transaction seems fair. However, how do I trust that this will all go smoothly, and you won’t betray us?” asked Xu Yuan.

They were enemies, after all. Both sides were wary of each other.

Although Xu Yuan had the ancient god statue, he wasn’t confident in killing the Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord had already revealed his abilities. Even Leona couldn’t counter his tactics from the Shadow Plane.

The Immortal Lord, in turn, wanted freedom. A great future was right ahead of him. With one step, he would be able to get out of the sea. He would still be the Immortal Lord with supreme authority. He would rule over the undeads!

He was not willing to take the risk.

“So, in your opinion, how should we proceed?” asked the Immortal Lord.

“You should be familiar with the Divine Contract. There are other gods who have signed such contracts with my lord,” said Xu Yuan. “Would you be willing to sign a contract?”

The Immortal Lord stared at Xu Yuan and then at Su Wan. “It seems you both are even more extraordinary than I had imagined!”

“Alright,” said the Immortal Lord. “I swear to abide by the terms of the contract.”

The dark undead power surged, and his skeletal body emanated divine might. Behind him, the skin cape fluttered.

A voice rang in Su Wan’s ears.

“I initiate a contract with you through our souls. If you agree to the terms of the contract, it will be witnessed by divinity. Violating the contract will result in the obliteration of the soul by the power of the rules. The one who violates the terms will never be able to resurrect.”

The contract terms surged in Su Wan’s mind. The spiritual power allowed both parties to view the terms so that none could restore to deception.

Su Wan agreed to the terms without hesitation, ignoring the god’s favor that would be applicable for a hundred years.

Who knew what the world would become at that time? They didn’t even know if the Immortal Lord would be alive by then.

Besides, Xu Yuan might reach such power in that time that he could even confront gods!

The Immortal Lord waited for the contract to be signed by Su Wan. After that, he rejoiced.

Now, there was nothing standing between him and freedom!
