Without equivalent power, it’s difficult to contend with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you are willing, I can promise that Zhuchen will protect your safety and prepare everything needed for the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can also promise on behalf of His Majesty that as long as you advance to my level, you will obtain the same status as me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A standard tactic of using both carrot and stick, and I felt no mental influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he, or rather Zhuchen, trust me like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just presenting it to me like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of philanthropist is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he’s willing to trust me, Zhuchen wouldn’t possibly leave such an important matter to something as unreliable as trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Yin trusts me so much? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away with the items?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi probed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai hadn’t expected Bai Yi to bring up this issue so directly; it seems Bai Yi isn’t as naive as those psychologists say…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say he really trusts is certainly false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were a choice, Zhuchen definitely wouldn’t want to take this gamble; but the reality is, Zhuchen can no longer wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Zhuchen’s Transcendent profession is barely able to demonstrate much combat power at the low-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it’s been able to support the largest organization in the current world, Zhuchen Court, allowing Zhuchen’s technology to lead far ahead in the Seven Countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the frontal battleground, these technologies cannot bring a truly overwhelming advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, low-tier Transcendents from the other six countries, with their ferocious combat power, have been slaughtering them mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although the combat power has been replenished by the middle-tier professionals, the mere 20 of them are Zhuchen’s real treasures; they are the limited edition that accommodated Divine Fragments!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To send them to the front line, even if it means trading them for hundreds or thousands of the opponent’s, that would still be a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he believes that given another three years, no, one year, he could bring weapons to Zhuchen that could change the course of the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation no longer affords time, obtaining a new Transcendent profession and rapidly advancing a group of Transcendents with powerful combat capabilities via a ritual that doesn’t require Divine Fragments is the only hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not, while I personally am willing to trust you, Zhuchen cannot take that risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are willing to agree, you will need to sign this Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My professional name is Scribe, and I can cast a Spell that ensures the Contract is bound by Transcendent constraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it can only restrain up to level 5 Transcendents, you also need to start advancing from level 1 after obtaining the fragment; this will suffice as a limitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when you advance to my level, the Contract will naturally become void.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai took out a Contract that was already prepared, and with the back of his middle finger, he gently tapped it, causing Bai Yi to feel a familiar force appearing on the Contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the power of the just balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although compared to the just balance, this force was considerably weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi walked over and took the Contract, which did not contain much text, only three clauses in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuchen would provide her with that Divine Fragment and the corresponding protection and treatment; in return, she must hand over the results of the rituals in full and cannot leave Taian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom of the Contract, Yin Hai’s name was already signed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked very fair, and the terms were very lenient; besides limiting her freedom to some extent, it was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her main strength had already begun to be developed outside of Zhuchen, and communication could entirely rely on the orange cat, at most only making communication a bit cumbersome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contract didn’t restrict her from harming Zhuchen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it confidence borne out of strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, the previous probe showed that he had not discovered Ju’s uniqueness, and the Contract also restricts me from leaving this city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I really were the original Bai Yi, with his strength, no matter what tricks I played, he could suppress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha, then Zhuchen is probably going to miscalculate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to confirm one last time, the protection and treatment include my daily needs and the ritual materials mentioned by Lord Yin, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if Miss Bai is not at ease, I can make some modifications to supplement these terms into the Contract.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Yin Hai picked up a pen next to him, added explanations after the Contract clauses, and cast the spell again to make it just.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then pushed the Contract with a smile towards Bai Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi picked it up and checked it again, ensuring there were no issues, before nodding and saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I accept this term.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai watched as Bai Yi signed her name, his smile growing even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, Miss Bai, we are colleagues now. Zhuchen Court will always be open to you, including the Royal Library, which you are free to enter and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, let’s handle the important matters first. Come, let’s take a look at that Divine Fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai turned and walked to the wall, pulling open a secret door and leading the way in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi gently rubbed the cat on her head and followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of a corridor, there was a small room less than four square meters behind the secret door, with a small button on one side of the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elevator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai pressed the button, and the secret door closed automatically, followed by a sudden sense of weightlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a cloud ladder, which can use steam power to vertically raise and lower this room. It is also a research achievement of Zhuchen Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are now heading to the underground area of Zhuchen Court — the Sealing Zone. That’s where the Divine Fragment is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the elevator doors opened again, revealing a long corridor beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor was plastered with cement on all sides, with an electric light every ten meters illuminating the space, and recessed doors intermittently on the walls, their purpose unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like the kind of dim corridor that often appeared in movies, where the seal would break in front, and there would be pursuers behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, fortunately, such a melodramatic scenario did not play out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai led Bai Yi down the corridor for about a hundred meters, then pressed his hand against the wall, and the solid wall turned into a phantom, swallowing his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a special spell that normally has no effect, but it’s very useful for entering and exiting certain special rooms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one hand propped in the wall as if supporting an invisible door, Yin Hai gestured with the other hand to invite Bai Yi in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange cat gently tapped Bai Yi’s head from an angle invisible to Yin Hai, signaling that it was safe to proceed, and Bai Yi confidently stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Bai Yi finally saw, placed on a stone table in the center of the room, the so-called Divine Fragment — a tree branch glowing with a cyan light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Divine Fragment — ???

When unclaimed, randomly causes plants within a 500-meter radius to mutate, turning them into monsters under the influence of the Divine Fragment]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi didn’t even bother to look at the message that popped up on the panel; the moment she saw the branch, an infinite longing arose in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to swallow it whole, to claim it for herself, and stood there, stunned for what seemed like an eternity until finally, her impulse reached a climax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively wanted to move forward, to get closer to the fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange cat was the first to notice something amiss. Fully displaying its Level 5 strength, it knocked Bai Yi on the head with a paw, using pain to snap Bai Yi out of her trance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi instantly inhaled sharply, the sounds of reality returning to her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… The fragment, just happened to be passing by your city at that time, so it just… Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Bai, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Hai turned his head to see Bai Yi wincing, rubbing her forehead with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s nothing! The cat suddenly hit me, it’s no big deal, no big deal…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi also realized that her behavior had been off and knew she couldn’t let Yin Hai find out, so she quickly made up an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to Bai Yi’s surprise, Yin Hai actually nodded and seriously said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Divine Fragment has a certain effect on living beings; other animals are more sensitive to it than humans and it could indeed provoke their irritability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha, this is also why there are no plants around Zhuchen Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no time to waste, Miss Bai. Let’s start now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just need to go up and touch it directly, I’ll be watching on the side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yi stepped forward to the stone table and grasped the branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the panel notification appeared before her eyes faster than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have touched the special Abnormal Object, Divine Fragment.
