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

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

The price tag was displayed.

The five wedge patterns lit up simultaneously.

The figures of Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, Long Yuan, Jie Chen, and Gui Xu were forcibly projected onto the right side of the scale.

The dark golden light wrapped around them like a lock.

Night Feather's Black Sun Netherfire was suppressed.

Cracks appeared in the Netherworld behind Zhu Jiu.

Dark gold markings appeared on the Dragon Abyss Bone Armor.

The Heavenly Punishment Eye on Jie Chen's forehead trembled slightly.

The path back to the foot of Guixu was also nailed to by a price tag that read "Immortal".

The system notification turned red instantly.

[Second scale: Original price.]

The First Seat is establishing the logic of "exchanging the Lord's name for the immortality of the contracted beast."

If the determination is successful, the host's real name will be removed.

[The five beasts will be placed under a price-balanced storage system.]

[Warning: Declaring the property value and sealing it off does not guarantee its normal survival.]

Shen Ye's eyes were icy cold.

"Sealed off?"

The first seatmate said calmly:

"At least they won't die."

It raised its hand.

On the right side of the scale, five images appear behind the five beasts.

The first one.

Night Feather's black sun was extinguished, and its wings were pierced by blood-red chains.

The second one.

Zhu Jiu was nailed to a well without light or shadow, and the Netherworld collapsed inch by inch.

The third one.

Long Yuan's battle bones shattered, and he knelt amidst a ruin of royal blood.

The fourth picture.

The calamity dust was backfired by countless tribulations, and the Heavenly Punishment Eye closed completely.

The fifth picture.

The ruins were swallowed up by the old gate, and the way back was broken into countless fragments.

The first voice was calm.

"They will die if they follow you."

"Your enemies are getting stronger."

"The First Seat, the Fifth Seat, Behind the Gate, the Former Master, All Races."

"You can save yourself this once."

"Can you guarantee it every single time?"

The price of dark gold has fallen again.

Hand over Shen Ye's name.

The Five Covenants will not perish.

Behind Shen Ye, the first page of the Night King's Codex was forcibly turned.

The two characters above are obscured by the dark gold price line.

Shen Ye.

This is not the title of Night King.

This is not a term used by outsiders.

It is his real name, which he has used all the way since he woke up.

The price line was pulled up.

The characters "Shen Ye" were even dragged out by half an inch.

The system is beeping wildly.

[Real name being stripped away.]

[The stability of the name-based certificate has decreased.]

The Covenant of Ten Thousand Beasts has been implicated.

[Current divestiture progress: 4%...7%...]

The first seat looked at him.

"You do not sell the name of the Night King."

That's arrogance.

"If you don't sell Shen Ye's name..."

"It's because I can't bear to part with myself."

"In exchange for one name, five tamed beasts that will never die."

"This was a worthwhile investment."

Shen Ye looked down at his real name on the name chart.

Then he chuckled.

"You said it's immortal."

"Are you alive?"

The first seat did not answer.

Shen Ye looked up.

"Seal it off."

"Lock it up."

"Place it on your scale."

"It won't hurt, it won't injure you, and it won't kill you."

"But we can't fight, we can't leave, we can't choose for ourselves."

The Night King's Namebook shone with black and gold light.

The first new certificate has been issued.

【Either death nor alive. 】

boom!

The five "Undying" price tags all jolted at the same time.

The dark gold lock on Ye Yu's body loosened by an inch.

The Nine Netherworlds of Zhu Jiu began to flow again.

The Dragon Abyss Bone Armor shook open a price seal.

Lightning flashed on Jiechen's forehead.

Guixu lowered its head and bit the price tag at its feet.

"don't want."

The first seat's voice was slightly cold.

"Of course they want to live."

"For animals, survival is simply a matter of instinct."

"Instinct can be valued."

Shen Ye said:

"Survival doesn't mean selling myself."

The second line of text begins.

[The instinct for survival is not permitted by the seller.]

The price tag shattered again.

The first seat holder raised his hand and pressed down.

Five images of death simultaneously approach the five beasts.

Yoru saw the black sun go out.

But it raised its head, and the black fire slowly burned through the dark gold lock.

Through the Divine Contract of Myriad Beasts, a cold and sharp thought entered Shen Ye's mind.

No change.

Zhu Jiu coiled up and stared at the dark, shadowless well with his vertical pupils.

The next moment, the Nine Netherworld Shadows reversed and entangled the price line.

Its intention is very light.

My shadow follows you.

Do not put it on the scale.

Long Yuan took a step forward, letting the image of shattered battle bones press down on him.

It smashed the painting to pieces with one punch.

The roar shook the scales.

Jie Chen stared at the future of backlash from countless calamities, and the Heavenly Punishment Eye on his forehead opened completely.

The gray-white lightning shattered the image.

It did not speak.

But that beam of light had already explained everything.

His own tribulation.

I'll live my own life.

Returning to the Void is the most direct approach.

After it tore the price tag apart, it looked up at the first seat.

"Shen Ye."

"Not for sale."

The five beast patterns erupted simultaneously.

Turn the page of the Night King's Classics.

The black and gold lettering fell line by line.

[The beast does not sell its name on behalf of its master.]

The Lord will not sacrifice his life for the beast.

[The five contracts serve as self-certification and are not subject to price guarantees.]

boom!

The five images on the right side of the scale shattered completely.

The five "Immortal" price tags were mostly torn apart.

The first seat was silent for a moment.

Then, it gently tapped the armrest.

"You refuse now."

"It's because we're not about to die yet."

"What if that moment really comes?"

The dark golden light re-emerged.

This time, the image that appeared on the right side of the scale was not a vision of the future.

Rather, it was one of Shen Ye's most dangerous battles in the past.

The Battle of Blood River King.

Thunder Demon King Gate.

Beast King Ruins.

Shenming Lake.

In every battle, the Five Beasts suffered heavy losses.

The first seat's voice was deep.

"They bled for you."

"I almost died for you."

"Your single word 'let's go together' is enough to make them continue to accompany you to your death."

"Night King, this is not a covenant."

"It's selfish."

The scale suddenly sank.

Shen Ye felt as if he had been hit in the chest with a heavy hammer.

His real name, "Shen Ye," was dragged out another inch.

[Real name removal progress: 12%...18%...]

The first strike was aimed at the heart.

It doesn't talk about buying and selling.

It said it owed them a debt.

Shen Ye watched the battle scenes.

Night Feather's wings split open.

Zhu Jiu's shadow body shattered.

Long Yuan was covered in bloodstains.

The calamity and lightning backfired.

Guixu was dragged along by the old gate.

Every scene is real.

They were indeed injured for him.

It is indeed possible that she might die for him.

Shen Ye remained silent for two breaths.

The first seatman slowly said:

"Look."

"You know you owe them something."

Shen Ye looked up.

"Of course I know."

The character "一" (one) behind the mask of the first seat lit up slightly.

But the next moment, Shen Ye gripped the sword hilt tightly.

"That's why I will become stronger."

"They can kill enemies."

"We will cut down anything that dares to touch them."

"I'm not selling my name to you."

The Night King's Book was suddenly opened.

[Shared injury is not a lock.]

Those who share the same profession should not be buried in the same coffin.

Life is for fighting, not for buying or selling.

The new black and gold lettering pressed down.

Protecting the contract relies on battle, not on selling one's reputation.

boom!

The right end of the scale suddenly sprang up.

The price line for the dark gold on Shen Ye's real name has broken by 30%.

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

"Even in war, we will be defeated."

Shen Ye said:

"If you lose, you can try again."

"I'd accept it even if it meant death."

"But if I sell it, I will no longer be me."

The second line of text begins.

[Real name not for sale.]

"Snap!"

The price line that had been holding onto the name "Shen Ye" broke down inch by inch.

The first seat holder raised his hand and pressed down.

The last piece of dark gold fell from the sky.

This one is more expensive than all the others.

[If he does not sell his name, Wu Qi will eventually die.]

The air suddenly froze.

This is not a picture.

It is a judgment.

It forces a predetermined outcome for the future.

A dark gray death line appeared on each of the five beasts of Night Feather.

The system notification has turned red.

The first seat holder is attempting to establish a fear price based on the certainty of future death.

[Judgment Logic: Future death is inevitable, but selling the name now can mitigate it.]

If the determination is correct, the host's refusal to sell will be considered a voluntary relinquishment of the five life-sustaining opportunities.

Shen Ye looked at the price tag.

His eyes turned completely cold.

"The future is yet to come."

"It's not up to you."

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

[The future is yet to come, so this product cannot be sold.]

Shen Ye took a step forward.

The black and gold short sword slashed at the price tag.

Will I die in the future?

"We'll fight our way through."

"It's not something you write while sitting on the scale."

The new certificate has been issued.

[One must not force the sale of one's real name before death.]

The sword light slashed down.

The price of the dark gold was split in two.

The death lines on the five beasts broke simultaneously.

Night Feather soared into the sky, and the Black Sun Netherfire burned through the right end of the scale.

The shadow of the Nine-Nine Netherworld Burial drags the remaining price line into the shadow and crushes it.

Long Yuan smashed down with a punch, shattering the four characters "Five Contracts Immortal" into pieces.

The Heavenly Punishment of Calamity shines upon the core of the scale.

Guixu seized the last price path and pulled hard.

"Sever."

boom!

The second scale shook violently.

The name "Shen Ye" has been completely returned to the first page of the Night King's Dictionary.

The black and gold light stabilized.

There was no trace of peeling left.

A system notification sounded.

[Name removal failed.]

[New rule to refute: Not dead is not alive.]

[New rule refutes the claim: The survival instinct is not authorized by the seller.]

[New rule to refute this: Beasts cannot sell names on behalf of their owners.]

[New rule to refute this: A master does not serve the beast on behalf of the master.]

[New rule proves otherwise: Contracts are protected through battle, not by selling one's reputation.]

[New rule to refute: Real names are not for sale.]

[Second scale: Price of fame, already broken.]

[Progress of the three-scale pricing system: 2/3]

The second scale shattered with a deafening roar.

On the scales of price, countless ledgers are turned simultaneously.

The person in the first seat sat in the center, and for the first time, the aura behind the copper coin mask subsided.

"Life cannot be bought."

"Fame cannot be bought."

"very good."

It slowly raised its hand.

The third weighing pan lights up.

There is a single character engraved on it.

【Contract】

The five beasts behind Shen Ye stood on either side of him at the same time.

Ye Yu dropped his shoulders.

Candlelight enters the shadow.

Longyuan stepped forward.

Jie Chen opened his eyes.

Guixu bites at the road home.

The person in the first seat looked at them, their voice returning to calm.

"The Third Scale".

"Contract price".

On the right-hand scale pan, the faint image of a dilapidated ancient courtyard slowly emerges.

The Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts.

This time, however, it wasn't half a court.

It is the complete First Court of All Beasts.

The system notification suddenly turned red.

[Detected: Coordinates of the entire Beasts' Court.]

[Detected: Advancement requirements for the True Name Species of the Myriad Beasts.]

The first seat is now offering its third bid.

The first seat holder raised his hand.

The price of the dark gold has been set.

[The Covenant of Ten Thousand Beasts can be exchanged for the complete restoration of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court.]

It looked at Shen Ye and slowly spoke.

"Prove your contract."

"Not for purchase."
