Wu Wei's deception was flawless.
Zheng Yazhi felt that she was crazy, playing so wildly just to win his submission. Was it worth it?
The key question is, how can someone as exceptional as Wu Wei exist in this world?
Shameless, despicable, and utterly shameless?
The Queen of the Underworld couldn't stand it any longer: "Hmph, have you two finished discussing this? Can't you start concluding the contract now?"
“Zheng Ya, you should know that we treat you this way only so that we can achieve immortality?”
We're both in the same boat, you wouldn't want us to lose our chance to achieve immortality and instead unite to destroy everything, would you?
"It's obvious that only by working together to achieve immortality can we have the resources to save all living beings, right?" The Emperor Emeritus changed his forceful attitude of coercing Zheng Ya into submission, and instead adopted a compassionate and empathetic expression to persuade him.
If Zheng Ya hadn't known his ruthless nature, she might have actually believed his lies: "Fine, you win!"
"After all, I had no choice but to fall into the deadly trap you painstakingly laid out, did I?"
"Haha, good, very good. I knew you were reasonable and would choose to cooperate with us for the sake of the people."
"Master Tianyuan, thank you for your trouble!" The Emperor Emeritus stroked his white beard with great satisfaction, his face beaming with joy.
The infection spread to all the cultivators and worshippers who occupied the Ten Directions Absolute Killing Formation in the surrounding area, causing the entire world to feel lighter, as if the wind and clouds had been calmed down.
At the same time, a sense of grief and indignation permeated the air.
Unfortunately, the more than 500 people trapped dared not speak out in anger, no, they were unable to muster any anger, only feeling inexplicable sorrow.
Were more than 500 people drugged beforehand by someone arranged by the retired emperor?
Their speechless cries, their helpless struggles and tearful exasperation speak volumes.
His voice was hoarse from the poison, his cultivation was sealed, his muscles and bones became weak and limp, and even though he struggled desperately, his face was contorted and he couldn't utter a single word.
This heartbreaking scene moved Zheng Ya to tears for no apparent reason!
Despite enduring such torture, they still fought to uphold their oath and felt it was not worth it for Zheng Ya to submit.
When everyone acts this way, they become truly awe-inspiring!
This is the spirit of the direct descendants of the Immortal Dynasty's royal family—unyielding to the death.
It's clear that if they had no other choice, they would have chosen to commit suicide to prove their innocence, not wanting to see Zheng Ya bow down to evil forces, even in death.
But Zheng Ya had no choice. He could only shake his head and shake his head with tears in his eyes, signaling them not to make futile struggles. There was still hope until the very last moment. He then looked at Tianyuan Shangren and said, "You can begin to conclude an equal contract with me now. Please?"
"Haha, it's my honor, please forgive me!" Master Tianyuan greeted him with a smile and a polite bow, then made a hand seal to cast a spell.
Contract magic is a secret technique that uses a wisp of the soul's essence, infused with the heart's blood, and combined with magical power to forge a soul contract. It works on the souls of the contracted parties, forming a soul essence magic circle that binds their souls together.
Cultivators use the still-existing rules of the Heavenly Dao to guide the formation of soul contracts, which simultaneously act on the souls of those who have formed the contracts.
With a "hum," Master Tianyuan guided Zheng Ya to conclude an equal contract, which was completed in less than ten breaths, resonating in their souls and minds, leaving a lasting impact.
Through the entire contract process, Zheng Ya caught a glimpse of the Tower of Babel mark imprinted on his forehead, which altered the equation of the contract array, resulting in enslavement.
In an instant, he enslaved the substitute puppet released by Zheng Ya and Tianyuan Shangren.
Indeed, Zheng Ya once again played tricks on someone. At the moment of signing the contract, he replaced his substitute with a substitute to sign the contract with Tianyuan Shangren, covering up his true self hiding in the void. However, he caught the strange behavior of the Tower of Babel mark and was amazed.
Domineering and ruthless, directly enslaving others, and not allowing any heretics to seize the privileges belonging to the Tower of Babel mark?
So, is this the case when Wu Wei enters into a contract with someone?
Is this the flaw Wu Wei mentioned, a way to counter the offerings designated by the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin, enslave them to cooperate in his act, deceive the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin, and secretly carry out his plan?
In fact, Zheng Ya misunderstood.
Wu Wei's soul essence split into two, with good and evil vying for power. When forming a contract with someone, the Tower of Babel mark first takes control of the evil soul Wu Wei's soul essence, completely ignoring the good soul forming a contract with someone.
Or perhaps the Tower of Babel mark acts on the desires of the soul's very essence?
The benevolent Wu Wei, suppressed by the evil Wu Wei, made a pact with someone, harbored a death wish, and was utterly despondent. As a result, he was ignored by the Tower of Babel mark.
A series of coincidences occurred, so much so that the evil spirit Wu Wei was completely unaware of them.
This situation led Zheng Ya to misunderstand, but he didn't think about it too deeply. He was still terrified by the domineering nature of the Tower of Babel mark and couldn't let it go!
This is basically just making us tools for the Tower of Babel official team. Why should we?
The negative emotions that had been weighing on Zheng Ya's mind reached their peak in an instant.
A will to never yield arose spontaneously.
Breaking free from the control of the Tower of Babel's mark was Zheng Ya's deepest desire, which converged and solidified into an indomitable will at this moment!
Perhaps this contract is a good thing?
At a new starting point in his life, Zheng Ya smiled from the void, setting the agenda for creating a spiritual technique to remove the mark of the Tower of Babel.
Perhaps by creating a substitute, they can lure the Tower of Babel mark into function and seize the opportunity to peel it off.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Zheng Ya realized that he had a chance to be reborn.
Because of the Tower of Babel's earlier shrewd maneuver, which enslaved the substitute and Tianyuan Shangren in a flash and issued an order not to expose themselves or disobey the Tower of Babel's official will, Zheng Ya sensed a glimmer of hope for a new life.
As the saying goes, "One must be placed in a desperate situation to survive."
Given the current situation, Zheng Ya abandoned a substitute and made a contract with someone, inadvertently probing the forbidden will of the Tower of Babel mark and enslaving the transmigrators.
Or perhaps the Tower of Babel's official authorities merely enslave a select few with exceptional talent.
This situation becomes clear once you put yourself in their shoes.
Whoever becomes a high-ranking official in the Tower of Babel will not tolerate the rise of outsiders who disrupt their rule. So what can be done?
There is no other way but to enslave talented people for one's own use.
After all, Zheng Ya was an exception. Regardless of his identity in any of his lives, he came from a poor background and had no powerful connections. It was perfectly normal for him to be enslaved by the Tower of Babel.
In contrast, Zheng Ya's creation of a substitute puppet meant that the Tower of Babel mark remained hidden and untouched when no contract was made with anyone.
Once a substitute puppet enters into a contract with a person, it seems to violate a taboo of the Tower of Babel. Fearing that such a contract would reveal the Tower of Babel's core secrets, they have no choice but to carry out enslavement operations.
Wu Wei's good and evil souls are dominated by the evil soul. The Tower of Babel officially approves that the good soul Wu Wei has entered into a contract with a person to carry out invisible enslavement without the evil soul Wu Wei being aware of it. This is an inside story that Zheng Ya could not possibly know.
At this moment, Master Tianyuan, with a strange expression, was greeted by the Emperor Emeritus: "Is Master alright?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing, the contract was successfully concluded!" Master Tianyuan replied politely after regaining his senses, his heart already churning with shock. Good heavens, what's going on?
Once you become a slave, you can't even speak out?
No, it's that I simply can't bring myself to say it?
This kind of enslavement made Tianyuan Shangren very uncomfortable, and he didn't know whether this situation was a good thing or a bad thing.
Becoming Zheng Ya's slave is quite different from becoming the slave of the retired emperor.
Perhaps this is an opportunity to ascend to the upper realm. Tianyuan Shangren tried to reassure himself in shock, unaware that Zheng Ya was even more astonished than him, having discerned the will of the Tower of Babel officials—it was terrifying…
