The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 30: The Domination Contract
It was a pitch-black scroll with dark golden patterns on its surface.

Zhang San opened the scroll, and inside was densely packed blood-red magic runes.

Product: Deed of Domination, 10000 Luck.

This is the master-servant contract with the strongest control and the best cost-effectiveness among all the contracts Zhang San could find.

Originating from a certain hellish plane, it is a contract used by the hell lords to control their own "property".

The ability is called the Domination of Soul and Flesh, which means absolute domination from the soul to the body. It can not only perceive the target's thoughts, but also control the target's behavior, senses and even emotions at will.

However, although the ability is extremely powerful, the binding force of this contract is related to the difference in strength between the two parties. Once the target's strength exceeds that of the ruler, it can forcibly break free from the control of the contract, which involves certain risks.

For the Hell Lords who are all at the Demon King level, this drawback does not matter at all. After all, they themselves are the ceiling of a certain dimension.

As for Zhang San, he cannot use those who are stronger than him, but he can still control a small rabbit with ease.

"Sign it, and you'll be mine from now on."

Handing the contract to Xiao Wu, Zhang San said calmly, "Of course, God has given you a chance to reincarnate and cultivate again, so I'm not unreasonable..."

"I can tell you that I'm seeking divine status and have already set my goal. Once I achieve divine status, I can take you with me to the divine realm to enjoy eternal life. How about that?"

"Godhood...eternal life..."

Xiao Wu's eyes flickered slightly, and then she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Zhang San cautiously: "Then...if you become a god, can you bring the dead back to life?"

"Who do you want to resurrect?"

"My mother!"

"How long have you been dead?"

“A few years…”

"System, what do you say?"

Zhang San heard this and asked silently in his heart.

【I can’t do it.】

The system simply replied.

[Her mother has been dead for too long, her soul long since dissipated. A mere deity is far from enough to accomplish this. Unless you reach a power above that of a God King, becoming the master of this universe, and using your treasure-hunting spiritual equipment to journey through the long river of time and find a trace of her true spirit, you can achieve this.]

"I've become the master of the universe, and I still need to borrow a martial spirit?"

[As previously mentioned, while the rules of this world are perfect, the energy system is extremely weak. The so-called gods are merely ornaments that hold the divine nature. While their status is high, their abilities are not outstanding.]

[But within the same world, if you can reach a level above the Divine King, your status will be equivalent to that of the Dou Di next door, but the difference in strength is quite significant.]

Zhang San curled his lips: "Now that I put it that way, I think I might as well just go through Doupo..."

[Although the intensity varies greatly, when you one day step into a stronger world, this feeling of having reached the pinnacle will enable you to complete the transformation at the fastest speed.]

[For example, if you travel to the Doupo plane with the strength of the ruler of this world, your internal energy will quickly be converted into Dou Qi. Your cultivation level may decrease, but the strength of your soul will not change.]

[Also, the godhead of this world is formed from the laws of the universe. Like the source energy in Doupo and the fetus of the plane in Wudong, it is a key item that can enable people to break through shackles. I think the host should understand its importance.]

"I see. If that's what you say, then I think this world is pretty good..."

Source energy is necessary to break through to the Dou Di level, and the plane fetus is a similar thing.

Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief. That is to say, if he went to other worlds without becoming a god, he would most likely get stuck at a critical stage in the future.

No wonder the system strongly suggested that he ascend to the throne of God...

After a brief thought, Zhang San looked at Xiao Wu who was looking uneasy in front of him.

"Your mother has been dead for too long, and her soul has long since dissipated. Becoming a god cannot revive your mother, but a realm above the Divine King can."

Zhang San had no intention of deceiving the other party and chose to tell the truth.

Upon hearing this, the light in Xiao Wu's eyes quickly dimmed. Becoming a god was an unattainable thing for her, let alone becoming a god king.

"But don't lose heart. The Godhood is just a piece of cake for me. Even if it's above the God King, it won't waste too much of my time. Even if your mother hadn't happened, I would have taken that step. Twenty years at the most. This is the latest deadline I've given myself."

As Zhang San spoke, three soul rings, one yellow and two purple, rose quietly, silently impacting Xiao Wu's worldview.

"Hun...Hun Zun?! How old are you this year?"

Seeing the soul rings that were so fantastic in both color and number, the little girl was dumbfounded.

"Six years old."

Zhang San didn't say much and put away his soul ring: "Life or death, choose one?"

"I want to live..."

Xiao Wu looked at Zhang San pitifully. Seeing Zhang San's exaggerated age and spirit ring configuration, she trusted Zhang San's words a little more.

"But you can't lie to me. You promised to resurrect my mother!"

"Don't worry, I don't have to lie to you. And even if I did, you wouldn't have a choice, right?" Zhang San chuckled, handed the contract to Xiao Wu, and said gently, "Come on, just press it lightly."

Xiao Wu pouted, and reluctantly stretched out her thumb and pressed it on the contract.

Then, she felt a pain in her fingertips, and the blood seemed to be drawn by some force, piercing her skin like a silver needle, leaving a bright red fingerprint on the contract.

The next second, the contract suddenly caught fire out of thin air, and blood-red devilish fire swirled up, burning the contract to ashes.

Zhang San also clearly felt that some kind of connection seemed to have been established between him and the little girl in front of him. This was a one-way constraint that allowed him to clearly perceive the other person's emotions.

For example, Xiao Wu is feeling panic, anxiety, and nervousness right now...

After untying the shackles on Xiao Wu, Zhang San pinched his chin and looked at the pitiful little girl in front of him.

"Want to know what this contract is for?"

Zhang San smiled playfully and clapped his hands gently: "Come on, stand up."

As Zhang San finished speaking, Xiao Wubuleng stood up suddenly. Realizing that she couldn't control her actions, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "You...what are you going to do?"

"Don't be afraid. I'm just letting you experience the power of this contract. First of all, it's the control over your actions. You've already experienced that. If I want, this power alone can take your life..."

Zhang San chuckled and drew a circle with his fingertips. Xiao Wu followed his movements and turned around on the spot.

"The second is the control of emotions, such as... sadness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Wow... I miss my mom."

"Or maybe happy..."

"Hahaha, Mom died saving me! Ahhhh, stop it!"

Zhang San stopped controlling Xiao Wu's emotions. Xiao Wu's laughter suddenly stopped. She heaved a long sigh and looked at Zhang San with lingering fear.

"This ability... is terrifying. I don't even feel like myself anymore."

Of course, this is the contract that the Lords of Hell use to educate their own possessions!

For those demon kings with long lifespans, whose lives consist of conquest and enjoyment, this is much more interesting than boring brainwashing.

Zhang San smiled and snapped his fingers. With a crisp sound, a tingling sensation instantly swept through Xiao Wu's body.

"Yeah! It hurts!"

Xiao Wu's body trembled, but fortunately the stinging sensation was fleeting and did not cause her too much pain.

"This is the sensory control of the contract, such as pain, itching..."

Zhang San said this lightly, and Xiao Wu felt as if there were small bugs crawling under her skin, which made her feel uncomfortable for a while, but the feeling soon disappeared.

The little girl's big black eyes rolled around, and her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she was thinking of something.

"If you want, it's not impossible for you to experience it."

Zhang San's voice suddenly rang out, and the little girl's pretty face turned red!
"The last ability of the contract is mind reading."

Zhang San said, gently pinching Xiao Wu's chin: "So, do you understand what's going on? If you don't want to act weird, you'd better be obedient. Understand?"

"I...I understand."

Xiao Wu blushed: "You...you haven't told me your name yet."

Zhang San said calmly: "My name is Zhang San. You can call me by my name or call me Your Highness..."

"Then... Your Highness..."

Xiao Wu thought about it and chose the honorific: "Your Highness, what does you want me to do? Sacrifice me at some critical moment?"

"decide as things go."

Right now, Xiao Wu hasn't established a relationship with Tang San yet, so even if she intercepts him halfway, it would only be a one-time deal.

Moreover, even if this strength is with him, it will be of no use. It is better to plant a nail next to Tang San.

And if Tang San still falls in love with Xiao Wu like in the original novel, then when the truth comes out, that guy's expression must be very interesting, and his Tao heart might even be shattered, right?
For some reason, when Zhang San thought of this, his heart felt inexplicably warm, as if a sense of satisfaction even greater than that of getting the treasure filled his chest.

Realizing this, Zhang San was suddenly shocked.

What the hell!

Could I be a thief Cao?
