The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

After adding more than a dozen additional conditions to guarantee his own safety, Wu You finally said, "If you agree to the above conditions, then I agree to this deal."

After hearing that series of demands, the golden-eyed, cat-eared girl remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Okay..."

Although the other person's voice remained emotionless, Wu You inexplicably detected a sense of speechlessness in it.

But Wu You didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it involved his own safety, so what's wrong with asking for more?

It's about protecting yourself; there's nothing shameful about it.

Hearing the golden-eyed cat-eared girl agree, Wu You breathed a sigh of relief: "Then tell me all the information about the bestowal ceremony, the offering ceremony, and the name of the deity."

At this moment, the golden-eyed cat-eared little girl shook her head: "No rush, close your eyes first."

Close your eyes?

Wu You's silver eyes narrowed slightly: What does this mean?

Just as Wu You was wondering, he saw the golden-eyed cat-eared girl put her hand to her chest and then reach inside.

His fingers sank into his own chest cavity. There was no blood, no wound, no tearing sound; only a pure light seeped out from his chest.

Watching His actions, Wu You became even more puzzled: What was He doing?

But he soon understood.

The next moment, an indescribable blazing golden light, thousands or even tens of thousands of times more intense and dazzling than when He transformed, instantly filled the entire cultivation room.

The walls, ceiling, floor, lockers, and all other items in the training room were completely engulfed by that golden light.

Even the energy mist that had not completely dissipated was stained with a flowing, burning, fiery gold color.

Before Wu You could even see what He had pulled out of his body, his mind screamed a warning: Don't look! Don't look! Don't look!

That warning wasn't a sound, nor words, but a more direct, instinctive alarm!

At the same time, Wu You's body also spontaneously took protective measures: his eyelids snapped shut the instant he realized the warning.

His senses also automatically contracted at that moment, as if avoiding some taboo that could not be touched.

Wu You, his hair standing on end, blurted out, "What is this?!"

Although he said this aloud, he was already vaguely recalling a term he had heard from the other party before: [Divinity]!

At that moment, a mature, husky voice emanated from the center of the intense golden light: "It's just some minor restraints."

Then, His tone became serious: "Wu You, at some point in the future, you will help the eternal ruler who governs the evolutionary ladder—the God of Beasts—to accomplish a certain task."

Do you agree to these conditions?

After listening to the other person's words, Wu You remained silent for a moment before replying, "I agree..."

Since everything had already been agreed upon, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word at the last minute.

Upon hearing this, the golden-eyed cat-eared girl nodded and continued, "Now, repeat what you just said."

Wu You also said solemnly, "Wu You agrees to help the God of Beasts accomplish something at some point in the future."

"But it has to be within Wu You's capabilities at that time."

"Furthermore, Wu You himself has the right to refuse and choose."

. . . . . .

Just after Wu You repeated all the additional requirements, that mature, hoarse voice rang out again.

This time, His tone carried a greater sense of ritual: "The contract is now complete!"

The instant He finished speaking, Wu You felt a mysterious force forming a kind of constraint on him.

Moreover, it wasn't a physical or mental constraint, but rather a more indescribable level of constraint.

Is it at the level of cause and effect? ​​At the level of fate? At the level of time?

Wu You is currently unable to discern the truth.

Just as Wu You was carefully sensing that feeling, the Sword Manual panel deep within his consciousness rippled slightly.

Then, the sense of constraint from the contract vanished completely from his perception the instant the Sword Codex panel fluctuated.

Yes, it disappeared instantly and completely!

Wu You: ...

Well, he should have realized it sooner; the Sword Codex has the function of excluding everything foreign.

It seems that not only has the bond between them become a one-way arrow, but this so-called contract is no exception.

Now, Wu You was truly relieved and no longer worried that the other party's request might be a trap.

Of course, if it is within his power and beneficial to himself or humanity, Wu You will still help Him.

After all, the other side is now considered an ally of humanity.

At this moment, the feeling that made Wu You instinctively want to avoid it finally subsided, and his senses were no longer suppressed.

Wu You opened his eyes.

The cultivation room had returned to its original state. His silver eyes shone with starlight as he calmly asked, "Now, can you tell me that information?"

The two blazing golden orbs in the cat-eared girl's eyes had stopped flowing and returned to their original calm. She looked at Wu You and nodded: "Of course."

Then she waved her hand, her slender, fair fingers drawing an arc in the air, and a pale golden light spilled from her fingertips, gathering, weaving, and taking shape in mid-air.

Then, a piece of paper with pale gold lettering slowly formed in mid-air.

It floated quietly in front of Wu You, with a faint halo of light flowing around the edges of the paper.

Wu You reached out and took it.

Just as he was about to check the contents—

A flash of golden light appeared, and the golden-eyed cat-eared girl disappeared, replaced by a small black cat with golden eyes.

A mature, husky voice reappeared: "If there's nothing else, I need to rest."

After saying that, before Wu You could respond, the fiery gold in the little black cat's pupils faded like the tide, eventually returning to its calm, deep blue.

Wu You naturally understood what the other party meant; this was an order to leave.

But He still needs rest?

Does establishing a covenant require His power to be depleted?

Wu You couldn't help but think this.

But considering the other party's current state, Wu You understood.

This is what it looks like when you're low on health.

Then, Wu You petted the little black cat a couple more times before taking the paper with pale gold writing and leaving the training room, closing the door behind him.

But then he realized: Why was the other party asking him to leave? Wasn't this his residence?

Thinking of this, his silver eyes couldn't help but shift slightly.

Of course, he didn't care about any of that.

Wu You shook his head and then sat down on the sofa in the living room.

He lowered his head, laid the pale gold paper flat on his lap, and began to peruse the pale gold writing on it.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, inside the cultivation room, at the very end of the little black cat's consciousness.

A being, radiating a blazing golden light, with a blurred shape, indeterminate outline, and indistinct form, was quietly suspended in the air.

That being was murmuring in a language that was not human, and was more ancient and essential:

"The Great One Above the Nine Heavens..."

"Above the Nine Heavens..."

"What kind of authority is this...?"

"And why point the finger at him...?"

"Could it be that this world... has already..."

. . . . . .
