power, he only needs to trade again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Subordinate Soul would never refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor could they refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were, after all, Zhang Fusheng’s possessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli little by little turned younger, though the magnitude was minor, one could still see his aging body radiating with vitality,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third minute,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man opened his eyes, fifteen years of hard cultivation rolling in his mind, he looked reverently at the Celestial Venerate’s attendant, and made a great salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, there truly exists such power...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli muttered to himself, speaking as he saw that towering feeling vanish from the boy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replaced by a semi-transparent old man appearing beside the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Muniu was first confused, then hurriedly leaped off the wooden table, bowing to the illusory elder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, True Man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too had the memory just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng slightly nodded, as a Subordinate Soul constructed of Immortal Thoughts, it could exert an impact similar to a High Heaven Order,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, he could use the Subordinate Soul to extend his Divine Thought, transforming into the illusion of \"Zhong Mountain\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this time, out of caution,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was sitting upright on the meditation mat while doing this, and the thought carried a lofty Position—thus did the illusion appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though not enough to rank above the High Heaven, but congratulations, you are now a member of the High Heaven Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhong Mountain\" spoke calmly, gazing at the still unsurmounted Hu Zhongli in the incredible power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When do you plan to break into the Innate Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli came to his senses, feeling his own changes, and the unearned, yet clearly genuine fifteen years of experience,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just need a few more days to prepare, send a request to the Deity existing in the different dimension anchored within my Divine Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m accepted, I can break the Spiritual Limit and attain the Innate Realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s heart tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does this mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the Spiritual Limit, what does this have to do with the Deity in a different dimension??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Innate Realm, Innate Realm.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evil cult, this realm is also called \"Divine Favor Envoy\", \"Divine Favored\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli returned to reality, reverently glanced at the illusory elder, puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The world seems to have changed somehow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng came to his senses, instinctively looked at the confused Zhou Muniu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Identity] can be traded, so naturally, [Power] can also be traded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Muniu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he acquire [Power]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was he puzzled, Hu Zhongli was even more bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the ’True Man’s consent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli picked up a bell on the wooden table, gently shook it, and the illusion of \"Zhong Mountain\" also gradually became transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mahogany door was slowly opened by two attendants, the butler walked in briskly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed his head to Hu Zhongli—\"Master\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the boy with a third eye on his forehead with a contemptuous, indifferent attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler spoke coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Legislator, the handover is complete, according to Federation law, you are now the new Golden Legislator, we will leave this building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handover?\" Hu Zhongli interrupted: \"When did the handover begin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler was slightly stunned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, an hour ago...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Hu Zhongli, or Zhang Fusheng who was silently watching, both were caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Muniu had only just arrived outside the parliament building, hadn’t even had a chance to meet the butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli’s throat moved, his voice involuntarily raised by three degrees:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring the records.....all the records!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler hurried out and returned shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli went through the documents and materials, even called up the surveillance footage from within the building, the more he looked, the more startled he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I understand, you can go out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler didn’t even glance at the newly appointed Golden Legislator by the Federation, performed a salute to his master, and quietly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion of Zhong Mountain quietly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli absentmindedly looked at this mysterious Celestial Venerate’s attendant, with visible reverence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The world.....has truly changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion simply stood there calmly, as if used to such things, remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s heart was also in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world has truly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hours ago, the Capital issued an ordinance, delivered to the Golden Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hour and 48 minutes ago, the eighth legislator of the Golden Province officially entered the handover process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>minutes ago, surveillance footage showed Zhou Muniu being respectfully invited into the building—this past event didn’t originally occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And 5 minutes ago, the handover was completed, and the Governor’s congratulatory message had been delivered to the parliament building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli dumbly picked up a file, documenting the resume of the newly appointed Golden Legislator Zhou Muniu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This makes no sense...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resume was almost entirely blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a nonexistent investigation report on Zhou Muniu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The report indicated that a few days ago, during a power struggle in the Federation’s capital, through a series of almost impossible coincidences,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this child, whose identity was not even on record, was actually appointed as the new legislator of the Golden Province!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large drops of sweat trickled down Hu Zhongli’s forehead, murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was aware of this incident before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now, the outcome of the incident hasn’t changed—except for this ridiculous appointment added on...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards the illusory elder and the boy, with the deepest reverence and trembling, almost in a dream-like state:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The world hasn’t changed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been altered, distorted....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Mountain stood silently, his gaze sweeping over the thick stack of various documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep feeling of dread surged up within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t much better off than Hu Zhongli, also genuinely startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of minor events, all shifted slightly, negligibly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These subtle shifts finally entangled and twisted into an irresistible momentum, finally erupting in an originally occurring power struggle event,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>guiding that event to an additional result—a child with no identity becoming a legislator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cause and Effect? Timeline? History?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likely all involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the cause was merely a transaction, a trade allowing the Contract to cool just over two hundred days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contract twisted the world for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhongli took several deep breaths, finally calming his mind, stuttering somewhat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The envoy’s legislator position may not hold for long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusory \"Zhong Mountain\" nodded lightly, speaking in a weightless tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally, my master merely twisted the past, not defining the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contract solely altered infinite causes, leading to a result where Zhou Muniu became a legislator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after becoming a legislator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It returns to normal development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An absurd, ludicrous struggle result will naturally be swiftly corrected by the Federation, but even one second of a legislator’s power, it is still power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results of a Contract trade will always make you ’obtain’, but only guarantees obtaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng suspects, even if he gave this power to a stray dog,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stray dog would also, through bizarre, incredible coincidences, become a temporary Golden Legislator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how long the power will last?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not within the trade’s scope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor does the Contract manage that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this Contract!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Storm in the chest, face unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Zhong Mountain’ spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Power...my master doesn’t care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Celestial Venerate merely follows balance, you having paid the price, everything ends here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The legislator identity will shortly return to you, but.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng gazes at Hu Zhongli:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The envoy will be by your side, and you as a member of the High Heaven Association, if capable of earning the Celestial Venerate’s favor, will naturally have the opportunity to reach beyond High Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To get a chance to truly meet the Celestial Venerate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Celestial Venerate’s transformation of this world will begin from the Golden Province, bringing a Great Tide that will eventually sweep all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ailments of this world are cured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deities remain deities, immortals remain immortals, and Buddha still remains Buddha—that glory from infinite ages past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial Venerate above!\" Both voices and shadow praised in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>",1374,"2026-06-08T09:33:25.351Z",1,"novelbin.me","96a8b5b71c46d62a3fa7c54fd1cf6234d87cdac0a7ff110796fdce44b049c484","secret-buyer-chapter-136","secret-buyer-chapter-134",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
