C96 Origin of the Contract

"Oh right, Elder Mo. What exactly happened to the life contract that you and I signed just now? " In his free time, Nangong Shi asked.

"About this, other than Ao Lie who is present, you and your Bother Cheng probably don't know either. Speaking of which, I still have to explain in detail the history of Zhen Wu Continent. Otherwise, you won't be able to find out the truth of this matter. Long, long ago, the first lives were born in this world, and we beasts are the first lives in this world. Many beasts began to cultivate slowly after absorbing the Soul force in the air. But with the appearance of you humans, we beasts also received some attention at the beginning, but you humans were too weak at that time, so our beast status wasn't threatened. So I let the human race develop as it pleases. Arrogant beasts, you humans are unable to shake the status of us beasts. Thus, after observing a few times, he didn't pay any more attention to it. As time flew by, the first batch of experts also appeared. Its strength could vaguely surpass the commander of beasts. Only then did the beasts begin to feel a sense of urgency. After several battles, both humans and beasts were injured. So the war stopped. " Elder Mo gazed into the distance, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"Later on, the beastmen slowly discovered that the reproduction ability of humans was very outstanding and that humans had become more and more powerful. Thus, a new campaign began. At that time, the Zhen Wu Continent was still just a piece. After a few battles, the leader of the beasts, which is my ancestor the Aquatic Qilin, fought with you humans as the strongest warrior for a whole three months. In the end, my ancestor the Aquatic Qilin was heavily injured, but your human leader was nowhere to be seen. The Zhen Wu Continent, on the other hand, had been torn into pieces in the great battle, and finally became the way it was now. Without a strong leader, we beasts will fall apart. However, no one cares about the reproduction of you humans. " Elder Mo laughed at himself.

"So that's how it is. But, what does this have to do with the contract? " Luo Cheng nodded, and asked with some confusion.

"Next, it will be related to the contract." Elder Mo's face unconsciously revealed an unnatural expression, he sighed, and said slowly.

"At first, the human race is unstoppable for us beasts, so we beasts have no choice but to give up and wait for the return of the kings in our own territories. However, one day, we discovered that our kind had mysteriously disappeared. Thus, under the discussion of several Divine Beast Kings, they dispatched a group of immortal beasts in human form to explore the cities of the human race. "As a result, we discovered that humans coveted the strong physical strength of our beasts, as well as the innate talent for cultivation. They actually mercilessly stripped away the blood essence of many of our young children to study the slave methods of our beasts." Two streams of hot tears slowly flowed down Elder Mo's face.

"Later on, after knowing about this, the few Divine Beast Kings were even more furious. Originally, they wanted to fight to the death with you humans, but at that time, my ancestor, the Water Qilin, stopped them. After all, at that time, you humans were much stronger than us beasts. If we start a war with you humans, it is possible that we, the beasts, will be annihilated. Thus, under the arrangements of the Water Qilin, each of the ancestors hid their children and their descendants well. But there are still many who have been captured by you humans. Later on, you humans came up with three contracts. It's used to control us beasts. They are the lifeblood contract, the equality contract, and the master-slave contract. "

"Contract of Destiny, Contract of Equality, Contract of Master and Servant. Elder Mo doesn't sound like anything. " Luo Cheng thought for a while and asked.

"Child, you aren't wrong after listening to these three contracts. Among them, this life contract was the best. The Contract of Life and Death, where one lives and dies together, where one's life is intertwined together, where one's understanding of one another was the deepest, and one could only have one Contract of Life. Of course, the Destiny Contract could be cancelled. Going down was an equality contract. In an equality contract, both sides' dignity was equal, and the parties to the contract could not harm each other. Finally, there was the master-servant contract. The contractor was the master-servant relationship, and the master-servant relationship could be used to restrict and punish the retainer. The retainer could not rebel or attack the master-servant relationship. To the servant, it was a contract with no dignity at all. Furthermore, all the divine beasts, immortal beasts and even wild beasts that have been contracted have been forced to sign the master-slave contract! " After Elder Mo finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, there was such a story in this story. What a pity for the spirit beasts that were captured for experiments. At that time, what was the difference between humans and the islands! How insane it is to capture our descendants and conduct human experiments! Nangong Shi felt the same way as he walked forward and lightly patted Elder Mo's back, and became silent for a moment.

"Child, I'm fine." Sensing Nangong Shi's concern for him, Elder Mo opened his eyes and forced a smile, before continuing:

"Later on, I grew up and my strength improved by leaps and bounds. In the end, under my lead, as well as the four Divine Beasts under my command, we beasts have finally returned to our peak. However, we, the beasts, did not kill you humans. Instead, after signing the peace treaty with your human leaders, we hid ourselves and allowed you to develop freely. Afterwards, a Soul Contract appeared, but this was only a contract under which the soul was sworn to. Those who violated the contract would be punished, and the soul of the contractor would be linked. After that, I went out to explore the new world, and you already know what happened afterwards. "

"Elder Mo, don't worry. When your strength returns to its peak, I will definitely rescind the contract between you and me. " Nangong Shi nodded.

"Silly child. Between you and me, there's not much of an impact. Although you humans have cruelly dissected many of our beasts, but we have to admit that you humans are very smart, and this Life Contract is one of them. Not only can it allow humans and us spirit beasts to understand each other's thoughts, it can also complement each other and increase our overall strength. That's why I signed this contract with you. As for whether or not we remove them, it's not that important anymore. " Elder Mo laughed.

"Mn, Elder Mo, I will definitely redouble my efforts to cultivate! I hope that you can regain your strength as soon as possible! " Nangong Shi's resolute face revealed a trace of persistence.

"Foolish child, I am already satisfied with your kind intentions. Actually, back then when I passed that drop of blood essence to you, I had thought about it. If I could see you again, if you could save me, then I would sign a contract with you, even if it was a master and servant contract. I didn't expect you to really save me. Therefore, I don't feel any discomfort with this contract. Alright, you go and experience it for yourself first. Now that we've thought it through, you can understand a lot of things about cultivation techniques. You can also read my memories. " Elder Mo smiled with gratification.

"Alright, Elder Mo." Nangong Shi did not continue being pretentious. After he sat down, he closed his eyes and probed into his sea of consciousness with his consciousness, beginning to analyze the situation. After a few tests, Nangong Shi realized that this life contract was actually pretty good. Not only did he know what the Elder Mo was thinking, he could even temporarily borrow the Elder Mo's power. Nangong Shi excitedly looked at the things in his sea of consciousness, and slowly started to immerse himself in them.
