...

God have mercy!

They were merely fantasizing in their minds about how they would surpass Yin Shengzu in the future.

In reality, they knew in their hearts that they could never surpass Yin Shengzu!

After all, the Heavenly Temples all belong to Ancestor Yin. They become stronger through the Heavenly Temples, so how could they possibly surpass Ancestor Yin?

No matter how you look at it, it's simply impossible!

Unexpectedly, the two of them were just fantasizing in their minds, and their fantasies were completely seen through by Yin Shengzu!

Now, they, who are as weak as ants in front of Yin Shengzu, are actually called a threat by Yin Shengzu?

What kind of threat are they?!

Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun both felt extremely wronged.

While feeling wronged, Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun also felt an even greater fear.

As Yin Zicheng uttered his last words, the two of them felt an unprecedented fear of death!

It was as if they, who had been cultivating asceticism for countless years, were about to die and disappear from this world at any moment!

...

The intense fear of death terrified both Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun, causing their bodies to tremble like sieves.

They looked tremblingly at the contract that Yin Zicheng had mentioned.

All I could see was...

This is the same servant contract that the Daoist Guide and the Daoist Zhunti signed before!

Once they sign this contract, the two of them will become servants of a powerful merchant, just like Jieyin and Zhunti, whose fates are not in their own hands!

Right now, Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun only have two choices.

Alternatively, sign a servant contract, thereby completely losing your freedom and becoming a permanent servant of the great merchant!

Either you die and your spirit vanishes, completely disappearing from the world!

Both of these choices were very bad for Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun.

If they could, they wouldn't want to choose any of them!

Unfortunately, at this moment, Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun could only choose one of these two extremely bad options for them!

...

'To become a servant of a powerful merchant, or to die completely...'

Hongjun Laozu and Yuanshi Tianzun trembled as they made their choice.

At this moment, under the immense pressure of death, every second felt like an eternity!

Or to be more precise, this one second was more unbearable for them than thousands upon thousands of years had passed!

Under terrifying pressure, Yuanshi Tianzun was on the verge of collapse in just a few seconds.

His body trembled, drenched in cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Holy Ancestor, I wish to sign a contract!"
