Chapter 1556 - 780: [Heaven-Fighting Secret Technique] and [Mythical Chaos Demon Ape]

Song Chi’s fingertips gently tapped on the console, the metallic surface reflecting his deep-set eyes.

The terms offered by the Heaven-Fighting Will were overwhelmingly generous—on-the-spot incubation of an Eighth Rank Combat Power Heaven-Fighting Bloodline, permission for enslavement control, along with a Mirror Image Cube, Mythical Ancestor Origin Blood, and the legendary Chaos Wonders "Sea of High Dimensions."

It could be said that this was absolutely beyond anything he had imagined before.

So after a brief contemplation, his voice emerged from the Mirror Image Warship.

"I can agree to it, but I need to confirm a few more details."

The voice echoed in the cabin, as calm as if discussing a transaction that might change the fate of human civilization.

The purple giant egg within the Chaos Beam trembled slightly, the response from the Heaven-Fighting Will like an ancient echo:

"Speak!"

"First, about the method of enslavement after the blood egg hatches. I need to ensure the control means are absolutely reliable and cannot be lifted by any external force."

Song Chi’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, staring straight at the beam of light ahead.

"Second, can the exact time range of the relic’s collapse be specified?"

"Third, this so-called ’certain self-protection capability’ of the branch, what level of combat power does it specifically refer to?"

The purple light within the beam suddenly fluctuated violently, as if a sensitive nerve had been touched.

What followed was a full ten seconds of silence, until over a minute later, the Heaven-Fighting Will spoke again, with a tinge of weariness Song Chi had never heard before.

"Humans, you are more troublesome than I imagined."

After speaking, a colorful light abruptly separated from the chaos beam, subsequently condensing into a peculiar yellowish scroll in mid-air.

"This is a one-time Colorful Extreme Position Mythical Artifact, ’Eternal Enslavement Agreement’, drawn into the relic long ago by the ’Sea of High Dimensions’. Through it, you can sign an enslavement agreement, and unless you actively dissolve it, even a mythical entity cannot easily break it."

Song Chi’s gaze fell upon this enslavement scroll, his eyes glittering as he realized that remaining in the Mirror Image Warship was merely a trace of his Sub Soul, not some Brainwave Imprint, so he knew the authenticity of the enslavement scroll before him.

[Strange Object: Eternal Enslavement Agreement]

[Quality: Colorful/Extreme Position]

[Convertible: None]

[Unique Effect: {Eternal Enslavement}]

[Note: A one-time enslavement agreement artifact seemingly originating from the Eternal Clan, capable of forming a contract at an extreme mythical level of binding when both parties consent.]

Though it’s a one-time Strange Object, its intrinsic quality and the remarks on the artifact are not mistaken, and its value is immeasurable.

"As for the relic’s collapse..." continued the Heaven-Fighting Will, "The most pessimistic estimate is twenty-four thousand years, and the most optimistic is forty-five thousand years, depending specifically on the rate at which those mythical entities erode the Secret Realm’s origin."

Speaking so, this mysterious entity employed some unknown means, and a holographic projection unexpectedly unfolded before Song Chi’s Sub Soul.

The holographic projection displayed densely packed energy tendrils surrounding the relic’s perimeter—at least twenty different mythical entities’ power imprints, gnawing at the Cosmic Secret Realm’s foundation like a malignant bone disease.

"And regarding branch combat power..."

The Heaven-Fighting Will’s voice suddenly became somewhat ethereal, pausing momentarily before giving the final answer.

"At least one branch needs to have Ninth Rank stationed, and two branches need to have Eighth Rank stationed. This standard will be clearly stated in the contract."

Song Chi’s eyes narrowed, a trace of unpleasantness flashing in his gaze.

Ninth Rank, a level second only to mythical existence, with the current Torch Human Civilization barely boasting more than ten individuals of this rank. To cultivate a Heaven-Fighting branch of this level before the next relic opening is difficult to say the least.

However, even with immense pressure, after contemplating for some time, Song Chi nodded his agreement.

"Agreed!"

With his consent, it marked the formal conclusion of their transaction, though it seemed Song Chi remembered something last minute. Before the Heaven-Fighting Will actively sent the Chaos Mirror Image Stone Magic Cube, Mythical Ancestor Blood, and the Heaven-Fighting Secret Technique Inheritance Stele into the Mirror Image Warship below, he attempted to add one more thing.

"Hmm, you’re probably well aware of the situation I previously faced. What I want to know is, when the relic closes subsequently, is there any means to teleport my warship to a relatively safe region?"

"The Chaos Demon Ape, Shi Clan Overlords, Mountain Splitting Clan, Nether Soul Clan—these are all mythical-level civilization tribes. If they really corner me, the Heaven-Fighting Bloodline on the warship will be gravely threatened!"

Though implicit, the meaning of these words was quite clear, and Song Chi was not embarrassed about it; if some danger could be reduced, then a little face-saving didn’t matter much.

In return, the Heaven-Fighting Will’s response was simpler. It seemed not surprised by this at all, perhaps having arranged something early on.

"Rest assured, I have plans for this."

Afterwards, the three items were successively drawn by the chaos beam into the Mirror Image Warship.

The Chaos Mirror Image Stone Magic Cube and Mythical Ancestor Origin Blood were self-explanatory.

Song Chi’s focus mainly lingered on the Secret Technique Heritage Stele.

As the stone stele emitted a faint light, Song Chi, with just one glance, discerned several Law Patterns of Time, Space, Metal, and Fire, indicating that the Inherited Secret Techniques on this stele were myriad and not restricted to a specific law.

Upon closer examination, he discovered that the Secret Technique Heritage Stele was composed of countless minute runes, each emanating a daunting energy fluctuation.

Without requiring guidance from the Heaven-Fighting Will, Song Chi’s Time, Space, and Light Perfect Laws manifested from within, triggering mysterious patterns to emerge on the Heaven-Fighting Secret Technique Heritage Stele in front of him.
