"That's impossible!"
King Yama stared in disbelief, taking two steps back.
"How is that possible?"
King Qin Guang supported King Zhuanlun as he took two steps back, saying, "Old Song, Fellow Daoist Zhang has indeed succeeded. Don't overthink it."
The Wheel King's sister was also a volunteer and one of the most likely to succeed, but she still went mad and is still imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower.
"Hmm." King Yama forced a smile.
He knew it too.
Zhang Tianle's ability to contract with demons is something to be happy about.
But logically speaking, this shouldn't be possible.
The Empress Dowager said that this was most likely due to inconsistencies between the two sets of rules, which is why this phenomenon occurred.
Only when they comprehend the rules of another world, or master the rules of the world in which the extraterrestrial gods and demons reside, is it possible for them to successfully form a contract.
The Empress's words are the golden rule.
It is absolutely impossible for it to deviate.
The Zhang Tianle before them was indeed a person from their world, a fact certified by the Heavenly Dao. Yet, he was able to contract with a demon from another world. It couldn't be that he had already comprehended the rules of that other world, could it?
How old is he?
Even if he were a genius, it would be impossible for him to comprehend the rules of that world.
Even if he's a genius, can he compare to those top-tier geniuses?
Even the most powerful figures need to use their golden bodies and divine bones to forge the Great Wall to protect China.
Therefore, Zhang Tianle's successful contract with the twin trees was purely accidental, and it is absolutely impossible for such a miracle to be repeated.
But no matter what, Zhang Tianle is indeed a rather strange person.
It shattered their perceptions time and time again.
He broke the rules before, which is why...
etc!
rule!
King Yama and King Qin Guang exchanged a glance.
It seems that the rules of these two worlds do not exist for Zhang Tianle.
Zhang Tianle was able to predict events involving the extraterrestrial gods and demons, which already broke the rules.
And now he can also form contracts with demons from beyond the realm.
If that's the case, wouldn't Zhang Tianle be able to break the rules?
How... is this possible?
What so many top experts couldn't achieve back then has now come true for an ordinary person.
Although this mortal's power was somewhat terrifying, he was still ultimately a mortal.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully forming a contract with the extraterrestrial twin trees. Reward: 1000 years of lifespan.]
The system's voice also rang in Zhang Tianle's mind.
This system is getting stingier and stingier these days.
They only rewarded me with 1,000 years of lifespan, without even providing me with any resources.
"Owner."
The Twin Trees' voice rang in Zhang Tianle's ears.
"I think I can sense the presence of the offshoot from beyond the realm."
The twin trees were somewhat excited.
Being able to sense the aura of its other avatar outside the realm indicates that it has become even more powerful.
Branching is its anchor point for constructing wormholes; only after establishing this anchor point can it directly construct wormholes.
Upon hearing the Twin Trees' words, the expressions of King Yama and the other ten Kings of Hell immediately changed: "You absolutely mustn't create a wormhole!"
Now that the Twin Trees have become Zhang Tianle's spirit pets, which is an unchangeable fact, what they need to do now is to absolutely prevent the Twin Trees from building a wormhole.
Even if they could construct a wormhole, it would be, as Zhang Tianle said, a one-way journey from their side to the outer realm, not a two-way one.
This way they can take the initiative.
"I won't open the wormhole unless my master instructs me to. Besides, opening a wormhole requires consuming my cultivation; I'd be stupid enough to open it automatically," the Twin Trees retorted to King Yama's words with annoyance.
The length of a wormhole affects the amount of cultivation power required to penetrate it.
Opening a wormhole that spans multiple domains, even if it's one-sided, could be fatal.
Moreover, it can only sense the anchor point outside the domain, but it cannot materialize that anchor point. To put it simply, it is currently just a fancy but useless device that cannot perform the teleportation task at all.
After hearing the Twin Trees' explanation, King Yama and his companions finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They also turned their attention to Zhang Tianle.
“Fellow Daoist Zhang, we are currently unable to resist the attack of the extraterrestrial gods and demons, so there is no need, absolutely no need to open the wormhole.”
While King Yama was trying to persuade Zhang Tianle, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
If Zhang Tianle had lived in an era when all those top figures were still around, how wonderful it would have been! In that case, those figures could have used this wormhole to research ways to deal with extraterrestrial gods and demons, instead of sacrificing themselves to protect everyone.
"I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Zhang Tianle said to King Zhuanlun and the others.
He's been out for too long; he still needs to do a live stream tomorrow.
"Alright." King Yama waved his hand, directly opening the gates to the underworld leading to the mortal realm.
Zhang Tianle returned to Shundao Hall with the twin tree roots and the Haoran Ruler.
After Zhang Tianle returned to Shundao Hall, King Zhuanlun and the others, who were in the underworld, huddled together: "I still have some worries!"
"Now that these twin trees are away from our underworld, are they really safe with Zhang Tianle by his side?"
These twin trees were originally sealed in the Well of Reincarnation by their goddess, but now they have released them.
Although the twin trees have formed a contract with Zhang Tianle, who knows if the contract is reliable?
After all, two rules are involved, and no one knows how reliable this contract is. If the contract is not reliable, they will be sinners.
King Yama's expression turned serious as he finished speaking.
King Qin Guang smiled noncommittally: "Do you think you can stop this matter just because you want to? The roots of the Twin Trees have already spread out in secret. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Zhang's timely discovery, the Twin Trees would probably break free from the Reincarnation Well in no time, and might even launch a counterattack against the Reincarnation Space with the support of those people."
Now that the twin trees have escaped the cycle of reincarnation, it's actually a great thing. Look at the conversion rate of the Reincarnation Well now.
King Qin Guang pointed to the Reincarnation Well not far away.
King Yama looked over and, seeing the ghosts lining up to be reincarnated at the Well of Reincarnation transforming at an extremely fast pace, a rare smile appeared on his face.
The Twin Trees had only been gone from the Well of Reincarnation for a short time, yet the Well's effects had already returned to their initial level. If the Well of Reincarnation were allowed to recover its vitality for a longer period, would the scene of accumulated ghosts in the underworld be resolved?
"Wait, something's not right! There are still quite a few ghosts hanging on those twin trees!" King Yama slapped his forehead, quickly opened the bronze door, and chased after Zhang Tianle.
