Chapter 510: Unconditional Submission

~8 min read 1,409 words

"You should understand the severity of the problem by now."

Li Heng said slowly.

The two women nodded hurriedly, "In that case, what should we do? Should we destroy these dolls?"

They asked Li Heng.

Although these dolls were painstakingly crafted by them and could be considered to contain their heart and soul, if they truly contained such danger, it would be better to destroy them as soon as possible.

"Destruction is unnecessary. I will take these ten dolls away, but it would be best if you do not make dolls in the future, or at least make fewer of them," Li Heng said.

The prototypes behind these ten dolls remained Unknown, but the level of danger was extremely deep. He did not intend to let them go; when his strength advanced further in the future, perhaps he could follow these Causality links to find the prototypes behind them, and perhaps he might have unexpected gains.

Especially the girl doll with the sentiment "You were not born when I was born, and I was old when you were born"—Li Heng was extremely interested in it, as the prototype behind it was actually not within the known Great Void.

"Alright, I suppose that's the only way."

Shuiyue and Shuiling said helplessly.

However, if they could not make dolls in the future, it would be much more boring, especially since Great Zhou was now disconnected from the outside world, and they still had to stay here for more than ten Yuan Epochs.

They couldn't just cultivate for such a long time, could they?

Perhaps they should write something?

While the two women were thinking, Li Heng's mind stirred, and with a wave of his hand, the ten abnormal dolls directly tore through the Void and were sent to his Transformation Body.

"As for this doll of mine, do as you see fit—keep it or destroy it, but you must not do anything strange with it."

Li Heng warned the two women emphatically.

"However, I am about to leave the True Realm, and you can also contact me through this doll. Of course, whether I respond depends on my mood; don't come to disturb me unless it is something major."

"Now that the business is finished, I should go."

He was not petty enough to punish Shuiyue and Shuiling over this matter.

Such things were not particularly special to Li Heng, who had lived in the era of the information explosion in his past life.

In his past life, many celebrities were also subject to various secondary creations and memes, but except for a few, no one with a narrow mind went around sending lawyer letters to others; Li Heng's mind was not that small.

Furthermore, this didn't count as malicious parodying of him.

Subsequently, before the three women could react, Li Heng's Divine Sense had already departed, and the doll returned to having a blurred face, standing quietly there as the Dao rhyme dissipated into Heaven and Earth.

Wu Wushuang was stunned for a moment; upon realizing what happened, she sighed and shook her head with a loss of interest. Forget it, forget it, she should just go back to cultivate.

But the next moment, just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly froze again; she was astonished to discover that the Dao rhyme that had dissipated from the doll was merging into the Great Zhou Heaven and Earth.

The progress of Great Zhou's transition from death to life rose to ninety percent.

She fell silent, looking in the direction of the True Realm.

Was this unintentional, or was it your pity, or perhaps a gift?

This Great Zhou Empress had complex thoughts.

On the sealing level, Li Heng's mind returned, his expression calm.

The reason he decided to leave that doll in Great Zhou was because Shuiyue and Shuiling seemed to have a talent for causing trouble; couldn't they just write something instead of making dolls?

Believe it or not, they might communicate with an Evil God while writing!

The situation in the Great Void had been deteriorating, seemingly sliding toward an unfathomable Abyss; after becoming Sacred, Li Heng could clearly perceive this.

So, such a thing was truly possible!

Based on this, Li Heng left behind this contact anchor.

Although he didn't know if it would be useful, what if it was?

"Wujian, release your containment state. This seal no longer needs you to reinforce it," Li Heng said slowly.

Wujian manifested a human Transformation Body in the Void.

He was silent for a moment, looking at Li Heng as he spoke.

"Can I add one more condition? Let me continue to contain this seal, or even let me try to devour and infiltrate this seal?"

A look of longing appeared in Wujian's words.

This was an excellent opportunity for him.

He was born as a cage, a cage specifically built for monsters and Disaster, but since his birth, he had never imprisoned any Disaster or monsters, and his own power was difficult to improve.

But now, he had such an opportunity.

Once he was allowed to devour and infiltrate this seal, it would be equivalent to him trapping the sealed Disaster and monsters; he would be fulfilling his mission, and his power would also increase.

Li Heng smiled; as he expected, Wujian took the bait.

"But you must know, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Wujian nodded upon hearing this.

"I understand, so what are your conditions?"

His expression was calm; clearly, he was mentally prepared.

"My conditions? Actually, my conditions are very simple."

"You should know that the seal here is very important and must not be lost; once it breaks, it will cause a heaven-shaking Disaster, recreating the scene of the past Heavenly Court and the collapse of the True Realm. Therefore, unless I can trust you, I will not let you try to devour this seal."

Li Heng said calmly.

Wujian immediately fell into silence.

He knew what Li Heng wanted.

He wanted his submission, his loyalty.

He even wanted him himself!

But was it worth it? To give up his freedom for a seal. However, if he could wrap around and devour the seal, he would be fulfilling his mission and increasing his power!

Under the weight of mission and power, was freedom really important?

For him, freedom was not important.

"I can agree to you, but you also know that my mission is to imprison monsters and imprison Calamity; the meaning of my existence is just that. Therefore, even if I submit to you, you cannot make me go against this meaning. If you agree to this point, then I shall submit."

Wujian said calmly.

To give a very simple example, pledging loyalty to you is for the sake of killing; it wouldn't make sense if, after pledging loyalty, you ordered me not to kill, right? Then I would have pledged loyalty for nothing.

As for why the surrender was so swift?

Well, just look at the current gap and level between the two sides.

Becoming Li Heng's dog is my honor. jpg

"Fine, I can agree to you."

Li Heng nodded.

He wanted Wujian to submit precisely for this reason; it was impossible that he would also stop Wujian from imprisoning Calamity and monsters.

"Good, this is my Life-Bound Mark; if you hold it, you can control me, and if you crush it, you can even severely injure me. I am very sorry, but as for whether you can control my Life and Death, I actually don't know either."

"After all, you also know that I am a Strange."

A misty Rune drifted out from within Wujian, flew into Li Heng's hand, and then he explained sincerely.

Li Heng nodded.

Strange are similar to monsters and Calamity; their essence is indestructible.

Especially a Strange like this one that is an experimental subject.

Even Wujian does not know how to kill himself.

"However, I am actually still not at ease."

Looking at this Rune, Li Heng pondered and said.

"Not at ease? Why, I haven't left any hidden traps, have I?" Wujian was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

"You forget that you are an experimental subject? You think there are no hidden traps, but in reality, there might be plenty of them," Li Heng said calmly.

"Therefore, I intend to purchase you according to the Reason of law."

Li Heng smiled slightly and took out the Trading Balance.
