Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 521 The Contract of Destiny (Part 2)

As expected, his guess was correct. The Demon Lord didn't linger for long before continuing.

"During that time, the entire Origin World was like a dark forest, full of killings. Cultivators dared not easily reveal their destiny, for fear of being targeted and killed... Later, a change occurred in the world, and a [Heavenly Decree] appeared in the sky, also known as the Heavenly Mandate Contract."

"The requirements are simple. First, you can comprehend multiple Destinies, but you cannot seize the core inheritance or sever a single Destiny; otherwise, you will be cursed by Destiny and targeted for assassination by the Hall of Destiny and all Destiny Masters. Second, once your refined Level Two Destiny Treasure enters the top ten, you must relinquish a portion of your power and enter a state of seclusion..."

Zhang Xuan remained silent.

He naturally knew just how powerful the top ten second-level Heavenly Mandate Treasures were.

As long as one controls this thing, one can easily slaughter more than 90% of the 99 second-level Heavenly Mandate forces. Even if captured, one can still save one's life without a scratch.

Therefore, it is understandable to restrict the ability of powerful individuals to refine such magical treasures.

"What is seclusion?" After a while, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple. Stop paying attention to anything in the Origin World, divide your cultivation destiny into many branches, without any distinction between primary and secondary branches. Most importantly, seal your lifespan within three thousand years. After three thousand years, separate the power you control..."

The Path of the Demon Lord.

"Divided into branches? And there's no distinction between primary and secondary? And lifespan is locked?"

Zhang Xuan's face immediately darkened.

This is no longer a simple retreat into seclusion; it's putting a tight rein on him.

Once they agree, their power will be dispersed, and even with the Xuanyuan War Chariot, their combat strength will be greatly reduced. At that time, it will become impossible to resist this Demon Lord.

Seeing his expression, the Demon Lord smiled and continued, "Not only that, but you must also contribute any excess treasures, or items that reach the level of treasures... For example, the Eternal Heart, the Chengde Sword, and the Demon Dragon Blade must be handed over. These magical treasures, like destiny, will cause an imbalance of power if too many are controlled. According to the contract of destiny, they must be dealt with..."

“What if… I don’t want to live in seclusion?” Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

The Demon Lord's mouth split open: "We will jointly issue the Heavenly Decree of Chaos and Calamity, defining you as a Chaotic One, and from now on you will be wanted by all Heavenly Fate Masters... and your lineage will also be besieged and exterminated until it perishes!"

Zhang Xuan narrowed her eyes.

For the Mandate of Heaven to be maintained, the most important thing is inheritance.

For example, the reason why the Mandate of Power is so powerful is that power encompasses the entire source world. As long as someone uses power, they can provide faith and strength to the Mandate of Power.

The reason why the destiny of love is a first-level destiny is also because as long as a person has love, love can provide him with a continuous source of destiny energy.

If the lineage is severed, even the most powerful destiny will collapse and eventually become weaker and weaker.

"No... As the Demon Lord, I don't believe you don't have a top-ten second-level Heavenly Fate Treasure. If you want me to hand over a magic weapon like the Eternal Heart, shouldn't you also hand over more resources?"

A flash of inspiration struck Zhang Xuan, and he looked over.

Since the so-called divine contract is a descent from the source world, both this demon lord and Buddha have violated the rules, right?

Not to mention him, the same applies to Emperor Fusheng.

The royal family possesses countless treasures. Not to mention those that reach the top ten of the second-level Heavenly Mandate Treasures, there are probably even some that reach the first level. Why not separate their treasures?
"Amitabha Buddha, the Heavenly Decree of Chaotic Fate is a punishment that will descend upon the Origin World, but it requires the approval of more than half of the Level Two Heavenly Fate Controllers before it can be announced to the heavens. And... we have already agreed to punish you!"

The Buddha spoke.

"I see……"

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized. So what if the Tianli Empire, the Buddhist sect, and the Demonic sect had many treasures? Their power was deeply entrenched, and no one dared to offend them. But he was different; he was all alone. His so-called announcement to the heavens was just an excuse to seize the magical treasures.

"Well? We'll give you time to choose. If you agree to go into seclusion, we won't make things difficult for you anymore. If you don't go into seclusion... then you'll have to wait for the Heavenly Decree of Chaotic Fate to descend and suffer endless punishment!"

The Demon Lord chuckled, his eyes filled with excitement.

Regardless of which option the other party chooses, they will become his prey and will be unable to cause any more trouble.

"Sorry, I don't want to choose either of them..."

Zhang Xuan shook her head.

"Don't want to choose? You have no choice now..."

As if he had already anticipated this, the Demon Lord looked around and rang out in a loud voice: "Everyone, you have all heard it. This Zhang Xuan disagrees. You should all know how to choose!"

"That's easy! I agree to announce to the heavens and issue a decree of chaos and calamity!"

"I agree too!"

"This lawless bastard deserves to be punished, and I agree!"

As the Demon Lord finished speaking, the many Destiny Controllers around him spoke in unison.

Within just twenty breaths, more than sixty factions expressed their agreement to proclaim this to the heavens.

"Haha, Zhang Xuan, I can give you another chance to make a choice..." the Demon Lord laughed.

"No need to choose..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "You just want to kill me and steal my treasure, right? Then try it. I also want to see how many of you will survive after killing me!"

"Amitabha! Since Benefactor Zhang Xuan is unwilling to abide by the rules, let us all jointly appeal to Heaven!"

The sound of the Buddha's name rang out.

“Wait, I want to offer some advice…” Just then, Yun Shuiyao, with her beautiful face, stepped forward.

"So it's His Majesty the Water Emperor. Alright, you can give it a try!" The Demon Lord frowned but finally nodded in agreement.

Everyone turned to look at them.

Yun Shuiyao looked at Zhang Xuan with a calm gaze: "Zhang Xuan, the best thing for you right now is to go into seclusion. This is the rule of heaven and earth. Don't feel wronged. Not only you, but also the four great families and seven holy lands in the first level of destiny are in the same situation. After going into seclusion, although you will be subject to many restrictions, at least you can still live... Otherwise, once the Heavenly Decree of Chaotic Fate descends, you will face endless punishment and crisis."

"The reason I'm telling you this is twofold: firstly, because I value talent, and secondly, because your student Zhao Ya is currently cultivating under my tutelage. I don't want her future cultivation to be affected in any way, and I hope you can cooperate!"

"Zhao Ya is cultivating here?"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback and looked over. Sure enough, he saw his female disciple looking at him with worry.

He didn't know where Zhao Ya was taken away by the Wanxiang Sect, and this was the first time they had met since she left.

"teacher……"

Seeing him looking at her, Zhao Ya could no longer hold back and leaped over.
