Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

The five deeds and certificates lit up simultaneously.

Night Feather.

Candle Nine.

Longyuan.

Calamity.

Return to the ruins.

Each name is as if it were pressed onto the surface of the monument by a gray-white pen.

The contract line between the five beasts and Shen Ye simultaneously sank.

It's not broken.

Instead, it was forcibly straightened by the stele path.

Zhou Xuan's voice came from outside the formation, sounding urgent.

"The third row is the deed tablet."

"It will not bury your witnesses, nor your evidence."

"It will bury your covenant name."

Qin Wuji's expression changed slightly.

What happens if a person's name is buried under a contract?

Zhou Xuan said in a deep voice:

"The beast tamer is still here."

"The contract may still be valid."

"But within the rules, they become nameless beasts."

"A nameless beast cannot answer its master."

The words fell.

On the first deed tablet, characters began to be written with gray-white brushstrokes.

【Night Feather, a name bestowed by the Lord.】

If the Lord has no name, the beast has no name either.

Ye Yu suddenly looked up.

Black flames burst forth from between the wings.

It didn't wait for Shen Ye to speak.

A pitch-black sun crashed directly into the certificate monument.

boom!

The surface of the monument trembled.

Half of the gray and white writing was burned away.

But then countless tiny ink lines emerged from the bottom of the stele, entangled Ye Yu's feathers, trying to drag its name back onto the stele.

Shen Ye raised his sword, but did not strike.

A system warning has been displayed.

[Deed rule: The deedholder cannot act as a witness on behalf of the deed's owner.]

[If the host forcibly destroys the monument, the Night Feather Contract Name will be deemed to be attached to the host.]

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

"Night Feather".

"I'll kill myself."

Night Feather let out a low groan.

The next moment, the black sun contracted.

It did not bombard the monument again.

Instead, he compressed the Netherfire into a jet-black feather blade.

The feather blade fell.

It wasn't the monument that was being cut down.

It's the word "given" from the phrase "names are given by the Lord".

Ye Yu's thoughts entered Shen Ye's mental sea.

very clear.

Night is a shared night.

[Feather, that is my feather.]

boom!

The jet-black feather blade pierced through the surface of the monument.

The first deed tablet exploded.

The name Ye Yu was not inscribed on the monument.

Instead, it transformed into a black sun feather pattern and fell back onto the Myriad Beasts Divine Pattern on Shen Ye's chest.

A system notification sounded.

[Yoyu completes her self-certification.]

The deed's name should remain on the deed, not on the tombstone.

The second deed tablet lit up.

[Zhu Jiu, the beast in the shadows.]

[If one follows the Lord, how can one claim a name?]

Zhu Jiu emerged from Shen Ye's shadow.

It did not rush to attack.

Those dark, serpentine eyes stared at the surface of the monument.

Beneath the monument, Shen Ye's shadow was fixed in the gray-white ink light.

The question about the eighth seat was quite insidious.

Zhu Jiu is always in Shen Yeying.

Therefore, it judges Candle Nine as "subordinate to the main shadow".

As long as Zhu Jiu cannot prove that it is not Shen Ye's shadow, its contract name will be nullified.

Zhu Jiu suddenly opened his mouth.

The Nine Netherworlds unfolded.

A layer of shadow covered the path to the monument.

Then, it forcibly tore its own shadow out from Shen Ye's shadow.

The two shadows separated.

Shen Ye's shadow stood there, sword in hand.

The shadow of the candle coils into nine layers of dark rings.

The gray-white pen strokes paused.

The candle chimes softly.

The Nine Netherworld Hook thrusts out.

It hooked onto its own shadow's tail, pinning the shadow back beneath it.

I hide my shadow.

Not a shadow.

boom!

The second deed tablet collapsed from the shadows.

The name Zhu Jiu transformed into the Nine Nether Serpent Pattern, returning to the Myriad Beasts Divine Pattern.

[Candle Nine completes his self-certification.]

[The Nine Netherworld Contract Name is Stable.]

The third deed tablet shook.

[Longyuan, a beast of battle.]

The will to fight is commanded by the Lord, and so is the will to fight.

Long Yuan's eyes instantly turned fierce.

It took a step.

No boxing gloves.

There was no armor.

He simply raised his arms and slammed them hard against his own chest.

Boom!

The Blood of the Fighting King Shocks.

The second punch.

Boom!

The battle ethos resounded.

The third punch.

boom!

Behind Long Yuan, the phantom of the Fighting King Ape stood up completely.

It looked at the deed tablet and grinned.

That wasn't a laugh.

It is war.

[The commander commands that we are ready to fight.]

[Fight even without orders.]

Long Yuan took a step forward and slammed down with both fists at the same time.

The two characters "Command" on the monument were shattered on the spot.

It didn't stop.

Another punch shattered the "main drive".

The entire stone tablet was broken in the middle by the impact.

Longyuan grabbed the monument and tore it in two.

Longyuan has completed his self-certification.

[The Battle Contract name is stable.]

Qin Wuji's eyelids twitched at the sight.

"Its method of proof is really direct."

Meng Qianqiu said, "As long as it works."

The fourth deed tablet lit up.

[The dust of calamity, the young beasts of countless eons.]

Calamity follows fate, not destiny.

Jie Chen rested on Shen Ye's shoulder and slowly opened his Heavenly Tribulation Eye.

This time, it didn't open its mouth to swallow the thunder.

They also did not unleash the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison.

It simply closed its eyes.

Zhou Xuan was taken aback.

"It closed its eyes?"

Shen Ye said, "It's listening."

Jiechen closed his eyes and listened to the calamity.

The gray wind whispering through the path of the monument transformed into streaks of tribulation in its ears.

Shen Ye is facing a calamity.

There is a calamity for Ye Yu.

There are tribulations involving Zhujiu, Longyuan, and Guixu.

This monument also suffered a calamity.

A moment later, Jie Chen raised his claws.

Gently press it onto the surface of the monument.

The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning did not erupt.

They simply followed the cracks on the monument and drilled into its deepest part.

Click.

A crisp sound came from inside the certificate stele.

Like a causal thread being severed by a lightning bolt.

Jie Chen opened his eyes.

[A calamity is not a name.]

I recognize names.

boom!

The fourth deed tablet shattered from the inside.

The name of Calamity Dust transformed into gray-gold Calamity Patterns, returning to the Divine Patterns of Myriad Beasts.

[Jie Chen completes his self-certification.]

[The Heavenly Punishment Contract is stable.]

The four stone tablets were broken.

Only one piece remains.

Return to the ruins.

The inscription on the stele was not written on immediately.

It remained silent for a long time.

So long that even the wind deep within the stele path stopped.

Then, a line of words slowly appeared on the surface of the monument.

[The Void, a beast without origin.]

[This is called self-identification.]

Those who are self-assured can also abandon themselves.

Shen Ye's eyes darkened.

This stele is different from the ones before it.

The first four steles deny the self-identity of the beast.

However, the eighth seat did not deny the existence of Guixu.

It acknowledges the self-identified name of Guixu.

Then induce it to give up on itself.

Guixu is not an ordinary beast taming creature.

It came from inside the door.

It swallows the door.

It recognizes its own name.

It is naturally closest to the boundary between "nameless" and "famous".

Beneath the deed stele, a small, nameless door slowly opened.

A low voice came from inside the door.

"Abandoning one's name."

"Return to nothingness".

"The nameless shall not be buried."

"The nameless are not bound by contract."

"The nameless are free."

Guixu stared at the door.

The first time, I didn't immediately say "it tastes bad".

Shen Ye did not urge it.

There was no answer for it.

He simply placed his hand on the Myriad Beasts Divine Mark.

"Return to the Ruins".

"You choose."

Deep within the path of the monument, the voice of the eighth seat was very soft.

"It shouldn't have been famous in the first place."

"The gate beast returns to the gate."

"Returning to nothingness is its true nature."

Guixu tilted his head.

It looked at that nameless door.

She glanced at Shen Ye again.

Then, it took a step forward.

Qin Wuji's heart tightened.

"It's not really going to go in, is it?"

Guixu arrived at the nameless gate.

Open your mouth.

Take a bite.

Click!

It bit off half of the entire door.

The sounds from deep within the path to the monument abruptly ceased.

Gui Xu chewed as he mumbled something:

"free."

"I have."

It took another bite.

"name."

"I have one too."

The last bite.

The nameless sect was completely swallowed up.

Guixu looked up at the contract stele.

"Return to the Ruins".

"be mine."

Click.

The characters "Gui Xu" have peeled off the surface of the stele.

They weren't buried.

It carried it back by itself.

It swallowed those two words and then spat out a small black and white door pattern.

The door pattern fell into the Myriad Beasts Divine Pattern on Shen Ye's chest.

The fifth deed tablet collapsed with a crash.

[Gui Xu has completed his self-certification.]

[Self-recognized name enhancement.]

[The Swallowing Gate Contract Name is Stable.]

[The five contracts are now complete.]

[The Myriad Beasts Divine Rune has been further refined.]

[New effect: Contract names will not be inscribed on the tombstone.]

[The five certificates and the register of names are integrated with the five contracts for self-identification.]

[Current system for name protection: Five certificates, five contracts, and a name protection register.]

[Completeness of the Eighth Seat's True Name Fragment: 36% → 49%]

[Resolution of the first stele path in the Unnamed Stele Forest: 86% → 100%]

boom!

The entire witness monument path began to collapse.

The silhouette of the tall monument in front of us, bearing the true names of the deceased, was finally mostly clear.

Four characters slowly appeared on the surface of the monument.

[No tombstone or burial name.]

Zhou Xuan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"It's locked!"

"The eighth seat's true name is more than half intact."

"Its true name has been revealed!"

Shen Ye looked up.

At the end of the Stele Forest, gray-white mist surges.

A figure draped in a long robe turned around for the first time from behind the nameless monument.

It has no face.

A blank roster was hanging around his neck.

He held a gray-white pen with a nib broken twice in his hand.

The eighth person to be buried.

Or.

He was buried without a tombstone or his name.

It looked at Shen Ye and slowly raised its pen.

"The first stele path has been broken."

"The Night King"

"You can leave now."

Shen Ye gripped his sword.

"I said that."

"Dismantle the first row of tombstones first."

He looked toward the second path of tombstones behind the unmarked burial site.

There, rows of tombstones are being raised.

There are two characters written on the surface of the monument.

[Real name. 】

Shen Ye took a step forward.

"Now remove the second row."
