"Okay." Yun Zheng said with regret.
The God of Haibei Star realized that he had spoken out of turn and looked a little uncomfortable, but he quickly regained his composure and behaved in a humble and polite manner.
He said slowly, "Since this god has chosen you, you absolutely have no reason to refuse. If you truly inherit the remaining power and the skills I've cultivated throughout my life, then you must agree to one of my requests."
Yun Zheng was about to say something when she saw Haibei Star God suddenly raised his hand and cast a spell to silence her.
He sighed softly and said, "As I said before, if I pass on the inheritance to you, I will disappear from this world. Can't you agree to one request of mine? At most, I will give you this Divine Crystal Palace..."
At the end, his expression showed obvious struggle and reluctance, but he finally gritted his teeth and said those three words.
"Give it to you!"
Yun Zheng's silence was lifted. She stared at the Haibei Star God silently. She didn't respond to him with a playful smile. Instead, she asked in confusion, "Why did you choose me?"
Haibei Star God sighed softly and said, "Because of the kindness you showed to the 'little boy' just now, I am willing to trust you as a person. I also believe that only you can help me fulfill my final wish."
"...People change." Yun Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked pointedly, "How do you know I won't break my promise in the future?"
The Haibei Star God lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
After a long pause, he finally replied, "Placing my hopes on the successor is a gamble in itself. Of all the qualified candidates, you are the most intelligent and exceptionally gifted. Furthermore, your words and actions towards the 'little boy' touched me deeply, which is why I resolutely chose you ahead of time."
When Yun Zheng heard his words, she did not respond immediately.
Because she felt that this was a big pit waiting for her to jump into.
Moreover, the other party was a much stronger person whose acting skills were much better than hers, so she had many concerns in her mind.
Yun Zheng asked, "Haibei Star God, why don't you find another successor?"
Haibei Star God: "..." It seems that all he said was in vain?
He took a deep breath.
"No, it's you, you have to take it even if you don't want it!"
Yun Zheng was not intimidated. "Then tell me your request first. If it's not a big trap, I will accept it."
Haibei Star God was stunned, as if he remembered something, and was absent-minded for a moment. When he came to his senses, he met Yun Zheng's curious eyes.
His breathing was slightly disordered as he spoke word by word, "This request is... you must find a spiritual object called the Southern Jade Gourd within ten years. Once you find it, you must travel to the Demon Realm and hand it over to the Demon Emperor Kong'e. Then, on my behalf, tell her: I'm sorry."
When Yun Zheng heard that not only did they have to look for something called the Nanyu Gourd, but they also had to go to the Demon Realm, she almost couldn't hold back her expression.
"Your Taoist companion?"
Haibei Star God's eyes dimmed slightly, "No, she was once my good friend."
"Then why did one of you become a god and the other a demon emperor?"
"It's a long story. You're just a kid, so don't ask too much." Haibei Star God coughed uncomfortably a few times before changing the subject, "When you grow up, this request will seem insignificant."
Yun Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, "Haibei Star God, are you serious?"
Not only do we have to find the Nanyu Gourd within ten years, but we also have to go to the Demon Realm to find the Demon Emperor named Kong'e. This sounds like an impossible task.
Although she had never heard of the 'Nan Yu Gourd' before, since it was regarded as a requirement for inheritance by the Haibei Star God, it must be extremely difficult to find. Even if she knew where it was, she might not be able to find it.
She raised her eyes suddenly and answered with a firm look:
"I refuse..." Reject.
"I agree." Hai Beixing God opened his lips slightly, and in an instant his divine power poured out and instantly poured into Yun Zheng.
boom--
Yun Zheng's eyes changed, and with a hint of shock, she couldn't help but say, "I agree."
"Very good." Haibei Star God smiled with satisfaction, then continued to control Yun Zheng while explaining, "Do you know what divine magic I specialize in? It's the Word Spirit. You must be curious why I'm arguing so much with you about this Word Spirit magic. It's because I will soon disappear from this world, so I wanted to say a few more words. After all, I won't have this opportunity again in the future."
"It is a great pleasure for me to chat with you."
"Can you tell me your name?"
After hearing these words, Yun Zheng couldn't control herself anymore and blurted out, "Yun Zheng."
When Haibei Star God heard the name 'Yun Zheng', his brows slightly furrowed, and an unknown meaning flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared under his golden pupils.
"I will pass on this palace and my divine power of words to you. However, I want you to swear an oath first."
As he finished speaking, the Haibei Star God's divine power surged, binding Yun Zheng tightly. He spoke word by word, "I, Yun Zheng, voluntarily enter into a contract with the Haibei Star God. After receiving his inheritance, I must fulfill his requirements. If I violate this contract, my cultivation will never improve in the slightest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Zheng repeated it. During this process, his divine power was so strong that it was irresistible.
Yun Zheng could have triggered the power of the demon god and broken free from his magical power, but when she heard the last sentence of the oath proposed by the Haibei Star God, her heart suddenly paused.
Previous oaths generally required those who failed to fulfill their oaths to die an unpleasant death, or to die in various cruel ways, but this Haibei Star God prevented her from improving her cultivation.
For most people, this doesn't hurt at all.
After all, many people spend their entire lives unable to break through to the next realm. However, if you go to the Demon Realm to find the Demon Emperor, you will most likely die on the way.
As we all know, in the demon world, apart from the most powerful and noble Demon God, the next level is the Demon Emperor. There are four Demon Emperors in the demon world. Each Demon Emperor commands a region and has a powerful and noble status.
It's incredibly difficult to get close to the Demon Emperor! Even harder than meeting other gods in the divine realm!
So this oath, although it seems to be restricting Yun Zheng, actually gives Yun Zheng two choices. One is to go to the Demon Realm to find the Demon Emperor Kong'e, and the other is that there is no danger, but she will not be able to be promoted after ten years.
The remaining power and inheritance of the gods cannot be taken advantage of for free.
Yun Zheng sighed in her heart, but she has now accepted this result calmly.
She would help him find the Nanyu Gourd and the Kong'e Demon Emperor, no matter how difficult the road ahead was.
She couldn't help but think to herself that there really is no free lunch in the world.
