"I don't know what kind of existence the Cthulhu gods you are talking about are, but there is no doubt that the [Covenant] also has an upper limit."

Chloe said seriously, "First of all, the [Holy Covenant] can only be effective for the signer and cannot be extended to a third party... For example, borrowing and returning ten taels of silver is an agreement between you and me. No matter how things develop in the process, it will only revolve around you and me.

But if I conclude a [holy covenant] with you and ask Zhang San to return the ten taels of silver to you at noon tomorrow, it is impossible because Zhang San is not involved in this [holy covenant].

Likewise, I cannot conclude a [Holy Covenant] with you to decide the life and death of another person or race... unless I personally sign a [Holy Covenant] with them and let them self-destruct, but they will never agree to it. "

“In addition, in order to trigger the [Holy Covenant], a large amount of faith is required… I don’t know what the contents of the other two [Holy Covenants] are, but just traveling back two thousand years to the past for this [Holy Covenant] would consume an extremely terrifying amount of faith.

Just for this [Holy Covenant], it may take me hundreds of years to gather faith, so that I can send you back at some point in the future."

Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.

[Covenant] can only work on the signer, and activating [Covenant] requires the power of faith.

No wonder Yelan had to choose Chloe as his agent... The rumored 001 is indeed close to omnipotence, but without the support of faith, it is difficult to exert its powerful strength. Chloe's special physique that can make the surrounding creatures believe in her unconsciously is perfectly matched with this ability.

In order to unleash a stronger power of the [Covenant], it is necessary to create a super-large religion to provide a steady supply of faith for Yelande and Chloe. It is very likely that the Western Holy Religion was born for this reason.

But in this era, the Holy Church seems to have not appeared yet... In other words, at this time, Yelande's power is far from reaching its peak level, so it is naturally impossible for him to seal the gods of the K system.

"Then how do I get back?"

"I don't know." Chloe said helplessly, "This [Holy Covenant] is only responsible for sending you back. How you go back is none of its business... Let me make it clear in advance, I don't have enough faith right now to let you go back two thousand years.

In this era, the only thing that can send you back may be the second [Holy Covenant]. "

Lin Qiye looked down at the second mark on his chest with a complicated expression.

If it is true as Chloe said, sending him back to the [Covenant] of two thousand years ago would require hundreds of years of accumulated faith, then even if Chloe is able to send him back now, it would take hundreds of years... The only thing he can count on now is the content of this second [Covenant], which is his return ticket from the Western Han Dynasty back to the modern era.

"Curfew is about to start, and you should go back." Chloe said slowly.

Lin Qiye glanced at the sky outside. It was almost completely dark. The red stars were hanging high in the night sky, and the light of one of them was particularly dazzling.

"You will stay in Chang'an for the next few days, right?" Lin Qiye asked.

"Well, let's wait until the influence of those stars fades away, then we will set off to the next place. If you need anything, just come here and find me."

Lin Qiye nodded and walked out of the house.

After talking with Chloe, Lin Qiye has figured out a lot of things. His name appears in the ancient scroll from the Han Dynasty that is included in the Night Watch's top secret, Chloe in the future chooses him to conclude the [Holy Covenant], and there are the words that Huo Qubing said to him when they were underground on the National Destiny Island... All of these things point to an intersection between him and the Western Han Dynasty.

However, Lin Qiye has not figured out whether his actions in this period of history are destined. Is his behavior an inherent part of history, or will it directly change the direction of the future?

Is it the "cause" in the past that creates the "result" in the future, or is it the "cause" in the future that changes the "result" in the past?

The causal relationship between the past and the future was like a tangled ball of thread, making Lin Qiye's head swell, but more questions continued to pop up in his mind.

Why did the future Chloe spend hundreds of years collecting faiths and send him to the Western Han Dynasty?

Is it related to those red stars? Or does he hope that he can change something in this era?

Just as Lin Qiye was thinking hard, a series of shrill screams suddenly broke the silence and echoed under the sky of Chang'an!

Lin Qiye turned his head and saw that a huge fire had already started near the city gate of Chang'an. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky, and screams continued to be heard from the city.

what happened?

The evil spirit has come to the city?

Lin Qiye frowned, and without caring about the curfew rules, he turned into a shadow and rushed towards the direction of the fire.

With Lin Qiye's speed, crossing most of Chang'an was just a matter of a breath. The strong wind whistled past his ears, and soon he saw two groups of people fighting fiercely in front of the blazing fire!

The two groups were dressed differently. Lin Qiye had seen the attire of one of the groups before. They were members of the 30,000-strong expeditionary force that followed Huo Qubing back to Chang'an. The other group was wearing special armor, and looked like the Yulin Army that was already stationed in Chang'an.

At this city gate, the number of the expeditionary army was far greater than that of the Yulin Army. They each held a weapon and swarmed through the city gate, staring at the Yulin Army moving through the battlefield. They seemed to be bloodthirsty and roared while reaping the lives of the Yulin Army without hesitation.

The bodies of the Yulin soldiers fell one after another, and the blood immediately dyed a corner of Chang'an red. Their defense line was torn open by the expeditionary army, and they were defeated step by step. A large number of expeditionary troops had successfully broken into the city and rushed into Chang'an.

Unlike the angry expressions of the expeditionary army, the expressions of these Yulin soldiers were full of astonishment and fear. They seemed to be unable to figure out why the expeditionary army suddenly attacked the city.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye frowned, and rushed directly into the battlefield, grabbing the long spear of an expeditionary soldier with his bare hands.

Lin Qiye knew this soldier. When he was escorting the army back to Chang'an on the rear wing, the other party had spoken a few words to him. In Lin Qiye's impression, he was a relatively quiet man, but now he seemed to be bloodthirsty and his expression was extremely ferocious.

"What are you doing? Who asked you to rebel?!" Lin Qiye asked in a deep voice.

"Rebellion? Lord Lin, we are not rebelling!" The soldier's eyes widened. He stretched out his bloody hand and pointed at the Chang'an City behind Lin Qiye, "Lord Lin! You should hide behind us! Be careful of the Yulin Army and the people in Chang'an City!

They...they have all been replaced by monsters!! They are not human beings at all!!!"
