Chapter 538: Signing the Contract

Able to speak human language and have the authority to communicate with others...

This is too weird.

Li Yang was puzzled, and then asked its name:

"Baizhi, do you know her?"

The voice fell silent and did not give an answer.

Li Yang asked again: "Do you know Meng Qing, Du Shengding, and Jiang Xiaoxiao?"

The voice remained silent.

Li Yang then asked several names of gods he was familiar with.

Artemis, Demeter...

But the result was silence.

This being who claims to have authority seems to have no idea what Li Yang said.

These are all companions who held authority in Li Yang's memory.

That's it, and this guy still claims to be some kind of top being from ancient times...

"Last question."

"Do you know [Zeus] or [Li Yang]?"

Li Yang spoke finally.

At the very least, before the demise of the universe as he knew it, he and Zeus were the only two people in charge of the [authority of creation].

The authority of creation serves as the starting point of all authority.

As long as it has something to do with authority, it is impossible not to have heard of it.

As a result, there was still silence on the other side...

At this point, Li Yang could already conclude that this thing was nonsense.

It doesn’t know anything about authority, yet it insists on calling itself that.

It was probably because he finally met someone who could penetrate the barrier and sense its existence that this guy pretended to be like this in the hope that he could save it from danger.

From this point of view, this guy's outer layer of enchantment...

It looks more like a seal.

This guy is not protected in it, but imprisoned in it.

Li Yang was filled with doubts, and he became less and less convinced of this guy who claimed to be a "top being".

He shook his head and said calmly:

"Okay, anyway, I'm just confirming some things."

"You, don't bother pretending to be a ghost. I have already seen through that what you just said is all nonsense."

"Did you see through it?" The voice seemed a little surprised, "What did you see through?"

"This barrier is not to protect you, but to seal you here."

Li Yang spoke slowly,

"You claim to be the top being in ancient times, but you know nothing about all the authorities and gods I mentioned..."

"Obviously, you are just an unknown creature imprisoned here."

"In that case, why do you bother to pretend to me? You are obviously being imprisoned here, but you refuse to admit it."

After the words fell, there was silence all around. The voice fell into a long silence, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.

After a long time, it finally spoke in a low voice:

"That's it..."

"...Yes, after all, I am a person who can pass through this barrier. It is reasonable for you to see through it."

"Indeed, as you said, I am not an eternal and top existence, I am just a poor man imprisoned here."

"As for the sayings about authoritative gods, I only heard it from hearsay."

"It's just the first time in tens of thousands of years that an outsider can penetrate the barrier, so I can't help but want to deceive you in order to gain freedom..."

At this point, it sighed in a low voice,

"We just... don't have any other options."

Li Yang snorted coldly:

"So? What's so hard about being free? Just say no and that's it."

"But what if you don't want to let me out at all?" The voice asked, "I am imprisoned here, maybe it is a disaster for your race called human, isn't it?"

Li Yang thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true, but you are lucky that you met me. I can communicate with you without being a [human]."

"Please tell me your origin clearly, and I will naturally weigh the pros and cons. Tell me your identity and the reason for your imprisonment."

"If what you say is true, I will naturally consider whether to let you go."

The other party seemed to be convinced by Li Yang's words and began to talk about his past.

Its past was finally slowly revealed.

It is a member of an ancient race and possesses very powerful spiritual power.

After the fall of their own race, in order to prevent this spiritual power from falling into the hands of others, the high-ranking members of their race created a barrier and sealed their race in this ruins.

"It was just a stopgap measure at the time, but I didn't expect that I would sleep for so long..."

During the narration, the voice was filled with melancholy.

"Okay, in short, you understand our life experience. Now it's up to you to decide, do you want to help me leave? I can promise you that I will never pose a threat to you humans in the future."

After hearing these words, Li Yang pondered for a long time.

According to the voice, it didn't seem too hostile, but more like a homeless drifter.

And judging from the conversation just now, this thing can be considered as knowing everything.

But just letting it go would be too arbitrary.

After all, this guy himself said that his race is a disaster to mankind.

Such a very powerful spiritual power, once it falls into the hands of some intentional people, it will cause endless troubles.

Thinking of this, Li Yang opened his system.

Trying to find something that I have seen before but not used.

The ability of a job-changer to contract with a monster.

This can be considered a compromise.

"I'm worried about letting you go."

"And I have a way to satisfy both of us at the same time."

"I won't completely release your seal, but I can temporarily accept you and let you follow me."

"If I see that you are indeed credible in the future, I will naturally let you go."

"Otherwise, you should just accept your fate of becoming a cultural relic."

"How? Do you want to consider it?"

The voice was obviously delighted:

"This is already the best result! Of course I am willing! As long as I can get out of this hellish cage, where I go is no longer important."

"Very good." Li Yang nodded, and he had already made up his mind.

He stretched out his palm and pressed the surface of the obsidian-like object.

The next moment, a strong energy surged out from the inside of the object, condensing into a huge phantom in the air.

It turned out to be a huge monster that looked like an ancient beast!

It raised its head to the sky and roared, and a layer of light black mist covered its whole body. Its eyes were like two abysses, which made people shudder!

Li Yang looked calm, and with a wave of his hand, clusters of flourishing green spread from under his feet, instantly wrapping the beast tightly.

The beast struggled hard, but could not break free of this soft power that did not belong to this world at all.

[A magic beast that can sign a contract has been detected - Taowu]

[Please choose whether to bind it? ]

Li Yang nodded slightly and chose to confirm.
