Chapter 389: The Alliance (Seeking full subscription!)

"The Seventh Primordial Substance... is a massive trap. If you don't act as a dog for the Sovereigns, you can't become an 'Immortal'?"

"True, the 'Law' of an 'Immortal' is already capable of harming a Sovereign... If I were a Sovereign, I would also place a collar on those who come after to avoid endangering myself. Monopoly is always the most enticing... One only avoids monopoly because they lack the opportunity; if the opportunity exists, one must inevitably block the path of all latecomers!"

"Ever since unlocking the Fifth Primordial Substance, I have more confidence in the status of the 'Spirit of Falsehood'... but I must at least become an 'Immortal' to truly begin to control it... This has become—a dead end?"

"No, no, there must be a way."

Aaron felt anxious inside, but his face remained calm: "Then what do the Eighth and Ninth Primordial Substances represent?"

"The Eighth Stage, as I understand it, is—'Ascension'. The Sovereign elevates an 'Immortal' to a 'God Servant', from then on belonging to the upper echelons of the Spirit World, constantly accompanying the Sovereign... For those who are devout, it is supreme comfort and Glory, their lifelong pursuit! If it were in the Mortal World, according to your terminology, it should be called—【Ascension】, because at that time, the Extraordinary's Spirituality is overflowing; even those born locally cannot persist in the Mortal World and must ascend to the Spirit World!"

"As for the Ninth Stage, I call it—'Imprint'. You carve your own mark into the source of your own nature, into the Mysterious Path, and within the Spirit World... From then on, you will gain the authority to influence the lower-level Extraordinaries of this path, and even if you fall, there is a tiny possibility of resurrecting through the influence of the imprint on Extraordinaries of this path!"

In any case, the paper would automatically burn up after the Contract was reached, so the time limit was not an issue.

Aaron's Spirituality sensed an inexplicable constraint falling upon him; that was the sign of the Contract being reached!

"This is the power of Fate... Those who violate it will suffer the Backlash of Fate..."

According to common sense, the benefits Lin and Olivia obtained were greater than Motula's, and with his own care, the possibility of them promoting to 'Immortal' before the Sovereigns divided the Spirit World and achieved Stability remained quite high.

In His view, neither the Green Forest Earl nor the 'Spirit of Falsehood' should be unaware of this content, so it had little value; it was merely a 'referral fee' for Aaron, the middleman.

'For such high-ranking existences, ordinary Spirit World Contracts can be completely broken through... This is also a verification of an ally's strength.'

'The Sixth Primordial Substance—【Crown】. My path name is "Crowned One". I need to participate in major events of sufficiently high status within the Spirit World, gain vast and profound influence, and make the entire Spirit World crown me... And what could have a greater impact than fostering a Hidden Existence?'

Aaron mainly wrote down the cooperation intention between the 'Spirit of Falsehood' and Motula, and both sides agreed to keep it secret.

This kind of Contract does not necessarily require a signature; otherwise, what would those Spirit World Creatures without hands do?

Therefore, as long as one leaves behind their own spiritual information, it possesses the effect of a "signature".

A complete "Law" can harm a Sovereign; an incomplete "Law of Accident" should have no problem constraining the Ninth Primordial Substance or even a Hidden Existence.

……

Motula immediately understood the implication and revealed an interested expression: "Very well..."

Aaron pressed his finger onto it, leaving behind a mark.

'And... this is also in preparation for my Ritual to unlock the Sixth Primordial Substance.'

This was to verify it first.

But their state was very wrong, and he did not know why they had merged into one, so he still had some doubts.

Ever since promoting to 'Perfecter', mastering the 'Law of Accident', and possessing the ability to create Contracts that could, to a certain extent, restrict high-ranking existences, Aaron had much more room to maneuver.

'Eighth Primordial Substance—【Ascension】, Ninth Primordial Substance—【Imprint】, Tenth Primordial Substance—【Secrecy】!'

Motula briefly introduced the path beyond 'Immortal'.

"Fate..."

Aaron secretly sympathized with Clark and Bruce, then immediately adopted a solemn expression: "I would like to sign an intention Contract with you first!"

'It's a pity that this kind of influence cannot be obtained and stored in advance, otherwise I feel I wouldn't even need to perform this Ritual.'

On the edge of the parchment, complex and gorgeous Mysterious symbols and patterns suddenly emerged.

After finishing writing, he closed his eyes and prayed devoutly: "My Lord... wandering in the unknown Spirit of Falsehood... your devout believer requests that you witness this oath..."

After all, it was quite special.

Aaron thought indifferently, and at the same time, Motula's words reached his ears: "I have already prepared the Ritual and materials for promotion over a long period of time. The only thing I need is a sufficiently firm ally who can block other hostile Sovereigns for me at a critical moment, especially the 'Keeper of Secrets'! He possesses the characteristic of 'Secrecy' and I don't know how many secrets He has hidden... I deliberately induced an organization that worships Him in the Mortal World, called the 'Eye of Gumon', and have been probing for relevant information through this organization... Currently, it can be confirmed that He is indeed plotting something!"

'Clark's school is so miserable...'

"An intention Contract?"

One must create enough chaos!

In his heart, he already had a preference and decided to help Motula promote to a Hidden Existence!

Motula's expression became incomparably serious, and a wisp of cobalt-blue mist fell onto the parchment, turning into a twisted, spiraling upward staircase mark.

Aaron knew this clearly, yet pretended to be ignorant, letting the 'Gumon Giant' leader manifest paper and pen from history that could only last for a certain time limit, and began to write the agreement.

'Even... I can contact the "Mother of Nature" side to test Her state... and confirm whether She has been controlled by some Sovereign.'

The Spirit World at this time was too stable; the Alliance of the 12 Sovereigns remained unbreakable even after the appearance of the turncoat 'Raven'.

While praying, Aaron utilized his own 'Law of Accident' to bless the Contract.

Aaron did not hide his excitement and bowed: "Thank you for your guidance. I am willing to act as an envoy for both sides and mediate between them."

Whoosh!

When both sides finished signing, a flame burned fiercely, swallowing the parchment.

'However... I will definitely let the believers contact the other party. If they die, they die; if I can probe out an answer, it's not a loss!'

'【Cornerstone】, 【Stability】, 【Sublimation】, 【Vitality】, 【Glory】, 【Crown】, 【Changsheng】, 【Ascension】, 【Imprint】, 【Secrecy】! The path of the Ten Primordial Qualities no longer confuses me!'

"Even those mad Sovereigns, and even the Creator... have all fallen under Fate..."

Motula's expression became even more reverent: "I am very happy to have such a powerful ally as your master. I hope both sides can reach a formal Alliance as soon as possible!"
