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

The second scale lights up.

On the left side of the scale, the Night King's name slowly emerged.

On the right side of the scale, the dark gold coin fell heavily.

The name of the Night King can save the city of Dongxia from destruction.

The moment those eight words were uttered, the winds on the scales of price negotiation ceased.

The Night King's name behind Shen Ye suddenly sank.

The seven empty seals vibrated simultaneously.

The first seat was occupied in the center of the scales, and the gaze behind the copper coin mask fell on Shen Ye.

"The Night King"

Your life is priceless.

"And what's your name?"

It raised its hand.

On the right side of the scale pan, a dark golden light spread out.

A phantom image of a city appeared.

City wall.

Street.

school.

Beast Taming Center.

There is also a familiar Awakening Square.

Nanjiang City.

Shen Ye's eyes turned slightly cold.

The first seatmate said calmly:

"You start here."

"This is where you came from."

"Now, I'll give you a price."

"Hand over the name of the Night King."

"Nanjiang City, it will never perish."

The right end of the scale suddenly sank.

A black, surging shadow appeared above the illusory image of Nanjiang City.

That's not a disaster that's happening now.

Rather, it is a future catastrophic price forcibly imposed by the balance of all prices.

A system notification popped up instantly.

[Price assessment begins.]

[The first seat is establishing a "trade name for city" logic.]

[Target: The Name of the Night King.]

[If the judgment is upheld, the host's title of Night King will be stripped and transferred to the scales of justice for redemption.]

[Risk: The stability of the Night King's Classic related pages may decrease.]

Qin Wuji's voice came from the outer anchor.

"Shen Ye, don't believe it!"

"Nothing happened in Nanjiang."

Zhou Xuan's voice was even deeper.

"That's the price of future disasters."

"The first seat has preemptively weighed in a potential disaster."

Han Pojun angrily said:

"Setting a price for something that hasn't even happened yet?"

The first seat calmly replied:

"Disaster has not yet struck."

"But it is possible to reach it."

"If I don't suppress it, it will come sooner or later."

"The Night King traded one life for the preservation of one city."

"It's a great deal."

Shen Ye looked at the illusory image of Nanjiang City.

He did indeed wake up there.

I met Yoru there.

There, I first grasped the Beast Taming Contract.

That's where he came from.

The first seat holder is very good at picking prices.

It did not take the unfamiliar city.

Instead, they took Nanjiang.

On the scales, Night King Mingdian was entangled by dark gold price patterns.

The words "Night King" were slowly lifted from the pages.

The voice of the person in the first seat subsided.

If you refuse.

"It's about valuing reputation over quality."

Shen Ye looked up.

"You're threatening me with the city."

"You want me to accept this as a transaction?"

The Night King's Book of Names is opened.

The black and gold lettering fell down.

[The city's control is not a transaction.]

The black tide above the illusory image of Nanjiang City suddenly paused.

First Seat:

"What I offer is immortality."

Shen Ye said:

"Put the disaster up first, then sell the unextinguishable."

"That's called extortion."

The second line of text begins.

The cost of such a project must not be sold for profit.

boom!

The Nanjiang Kuroshio Current on the right side of the famous scale has a corner split open.

The first seat's voice was slightly cold.

"I didn't cause this disaster."

"I simply weighed its value in advance."

Shen Ye said coldly:

"Do not presume to purchase my name before calamity arrives."

The third line of black and gold lettering was pressed down heavily.

[One should not pre-purchase a name to ward off disasters that have not yet occurred.]

The scales shook violently.

The black tide on the illusory image of Nanjiang City was torn apart by more than half.

In the Night King's Dictionary, the words "Night King" that had been lifted up sank back down to the page.

The first seat was silent for a moment.

Then, it raised its hand and pressed down.

The phantom image of Nanjiang City disappeared.

A new phantom city appears.

Demon-Suppressing Pass.

The city walls are towering.

The military flag is as strong as iron.

Countless demon-suppressing soldiers stood atop the wall.

In the distance, the blood mist of the battlefield of myriad races surged.

On the right side of the scale, the new price tag fell down.

The name of the Night King can be exchanged for a day of peace at Demon Suppression Pass.

Han Pojun's face instantly darkened.

There was no battle at Zhenmo Pass for a day.

This is indeed valuable for the front lines.

A day without fighting allows wounded soldiers to rest and recuperate.

This will strengthen the defenses.

That would allow countless people to survive.

The person in the first seat looked at Shen Ye.

"You don't acknowledge Nanjiang."

"What about the Demon Suppression Pass?"

"You've guarded the front lines."

"I've also seen dead people."

"Use your name to give them a day's respite."

"Aren't you going to sell?"

Shen Ye gripped his sword.

"The Demon-Suppressing Pass will not be conquered without my name being sold."

"It depends on people to guard it."

Han Pojun chuckled from the outer anchor end.

"Well said."

Shen Ye raised his hand.

In the Night King's Codex, the Eastern Xia King's Seal and the King's War Certificate page lit up simultaneously.

[The Wanghao bond is not a government bond.]

[Defending the country is not about borrowing a country.]

New black and gold lettering appeared.

[The name "Guardian of the City" is not for sale.]

The military flag in the phantom image of Zhenmo Pass suddenly trembled.

The price of dark gold has been broken.

The first seatmate said coldly:

"What if one less person died?"

Shen Ye said:

"Then kill the enemy."

"I'm not selling my name."

The second line of text begins.

Protecting people relies on fighting, not on selling one's reputation.

boom!

The price of a day without battle at Zhenmo Pass collapsed on the spot.

The right end of the scale clearly rose for the first time.

The person in the first seat finally sat up a little straighter.

"very good."

"The city won't work."

"Shutting it down won't work either."

"That is what the people say."

It raised its hand.

Suddenly, countless voices rang out above the scales of priceless justice.

"The Night King!"

"Shen Ye!"

"The Night King of the East!"

"He defeated the second seat!"

"He's come out of Shenming Lake!"

"The Night King is still here!"

These voices came from Dongxia.

From Zhenmo Pass.

This comes from someone who has witnessed Shen Ye's actions.

From those he saved.

Each address was drawn by the scales of the Myriad Prices, transforming into dark gold sound patterns that landed on the right end of the scales.

The first seatmate said calmly:

"Names are given by people."

"Since everyone calls you the Night King..."

"Then this name also has a price in the hands of the public."

"Everyone will give you their name."

"Even public opinion can be taken back."

The dark gold sound patterns transformed into countless fine hooks, hooking the two characters "Night King" on the Night King's name tablet.

The system is displaying a notification.

The first seat is currently weighing the public's opinion of its value.

[Judgment Logic: The public's opinion determines the price.]

If the verdict is upheld, the name of the Night King will be transformed into a commodity of public opinion.

The Night King's Book behind Shen Ye began to turn.

The testimonies concerning the Night King began to shake slightly.

Trials for becoming a king.

The War of Kings of All Races.

Slay the Thunder Demon King.

Slaying the Blood River Holy Son.

Seize the seat.

On each page, there are traces of witnesses.

The first voice was calm.

Nobody calls you the Night King.

"Are you still the Night King?"

Shen Ye looked at those dark gold sound patterns.

"They call me..."

"It is a testimony."

"You're not buying me."

The Night King's Book of Names is opened.

The old certificate is displayed.

[A name is proven by actions.]

[This was not written by a ghostwriter.]

New black and gold lettering appeared.

The one who bestows the name is not the one who buys it.

Countless dark gold sound hooks trembled simultaneously.

The first seatmate said coldly:

"They gave you prestige."

Shen Ye said:

"They saw what I did."

"That's why you call me the Night King."

"They didn't pay money to buy my name."

The second line of text begins.

[Reputation is not a price.]

The tuning peg broke into large pieces.

Shen Ye took another step forward.

"They don't have to call out."

"You can forget it."

"You can curse."

"But I can't sell it for you."

The third line of text fell.

Public opinion cannot endorse or sell my name.

boom!

Above the scales of priceless justice, countless voices suddenly dissipated.

It wasn't erased.

Instead, it has become detached from the price scale.

On the other side of the outer anchor, Qin Wuji smiled.

"Did you hear that? Even if I insult him in the future, he can't say I betrayed him."

Li Xuance said calmly:

"You can give it a try."

Qin Wuji remained silent for a moment.

"never mind."

On the right end of the scale, the dark gold sound pattern shattered completely.

Night King Mingdian regained his footing.

The first seated person gently tapped the scales beneath their seat with their fingers.

For the first time, the gaze behind the coin mask became deep and unfathomable.

"The Name of the Night King"

"The city cannot be exchanged."

"The gate cannot be replaced."

"Popular opinion is not something that can be sold."

"And what about their record?"

It raised its hand.

On the right-hand scale, seven price chips fell simultaneously.

[The ninth seat has been slain.]

[The eighth seat has been eliminated.]

[The seventh seat has been slain.]

[The sixth seat has been slain.]

[The fourth seat has been eliminated.]

[The third seat has been revoked.]

[The second seat has been taken.]

Each price tag corresponds to an empty space behind Shen Ye.

First Seat:

"The most important thing about your title of Night King is not the title itself."

"It is the execution of the mat."

"The death of the Seven Seats, raise your name high."

"If I buy seven seats..."

"How much of the Night King's name remains?"

Seven price tags were placed.

The right end of the scale suddenly sank.

The seven empty seals behind Shen Ye vibrated simultaneously, as if they were about to be sucked away by the dark gold scale.

The system warning is flashing.

[The First Seat is attempting to purchase the host's Seat-Slaying Record.]

[If the verdict is valid, the host's seven-seat elimination certificate pages will be removed.]

[Risk: Night King's Namebook page may be damaged.]

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

"You'd even buy based on the results?"

First Seat:

"certainly."

"Many achievements in this world can be bought."

"Someone is putting in the effort."

"Someone got a name."

"Someone made a bid."

"Someone altered the accounts."

"Night King, your slaying of the throne is very powerful."

"But the name under which the record is registered can also have value."

Shen Ye raised his hand.

A black gold short sword materialized.

The seven empty slots behind him lit up one by one.

The ninth seat was taken by someone who had changed seats.

The eighth person to be buried.

The seventh person to be named.

The sixth signatory.

The fourth person to steal the court seat.

The third person to buy a life.

The second finalist.

Each empty space is not an inheritance.

It is the preservation after execution.

Shen Ye said coldly:

"I killed him."

"You can't buy it."

The Night King's name and old evidence suddenly lit up.

[Rejecting one's identity and refusing citizenship.]

[Having gained fame, one should not accept a seat.]

[Profits are not debts.]

The spoils were gained through war, not as a gift.

New black and gold lettering appeared.

The act of personally executing someone cannot be attributed to another.

The prices of the seven bids for the seat of honor were simultaneously shaken.

The voice of the person in the first seat turned cold.

"The record can be edited."

Shen Ye said:

"A living person can lie."

"The dead Xi Yin will not."

All seven empty seals flipped over.

Each seal reflects the lingering image of the real name of the person whose position was lost before their death.

That wasn't written by Shen Ye himself.

It is evidence left behind by the person who was beheaded after death.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

"You want to buy your winning record."

"Let them admit it first."

The seven empty seals simultaneously emitted a black and gold light.

The Night King's Namebook has been newly established.

A death sentence cannot be bought.

boom!

The seven bids for the seat were shattered on the spot.

The right end of the scale suddenly sprang up.

The second scale emitted a piercing cracking sound.

The character "一" on the mask of the first seat dimmed for a moment.

A system notification sounded.

[The Night King's reputation rating has collapsed.]

[New rule refutes the claim: the coercion was not a transaction.]

[New rule to refute: The city's defense is not for sale.]

[New rule refutes this: The person who named the name was not the one who bought it.]

[New rule to refute this: A personally executed act cannot be transferred to another person's name.]

[New rule to refute: Dead evidence cannot be bought.]

Shen Ye gripped his sword and looked at the first seat.

"The Name of the Night King"

"Not for sale."

On the second scale, the words "Night King" were completely sunk back into the Night King's Name Book.

The first seat did not speak immediately.

The balance of prices was eerily quiet.

After a moment, it nodded slightly.

"The name of the Night King is not for sale."

"very good."

"But the Night King is merely a title."

It raised its hand.

The second famous scale did not disappear.

Instead, it became even heavier.

On the left side of the scale, the Night King's Classics are turned to the first page.

Two words appeared above.

Shen Ye.

The first voice slowly faded away.

"Now."

"Use your real name."

On the right side of the scale pan, five wedge patterns lit up simultaneously.

Night Feather.

Candle Nine.

Longyuan.

Calamity.

Return to the ruins.

The new price has been set.

[Shen Ye's name can be exchanged for five contracts of immortality.]

All five beasts raised their heads at the same time.

Shen Ye's eyes turned completely cold.
