The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 647 Absolute Contract; The End

Zhongli (inner monologue): Anyway, they were the culprits in the first place. Instead of killing them directly, we made them work to earn "money" to make up for our mistakes. That's already letting them off easy!

Zhongli (inner monologue): Moreover, with the threat of collapse, I'm not afraid they won't sign the contract with me!

Zhongli (inner monologue): Once the contract is signed, they'll have to think carefully about the consequences if they want to back out...

(Zhongli: Mr. Kong, you don't want to fight the Honkai with Teyvat, which has no one, do you? Come on, as long as you sign this contract as a black slave, ptooey... a cow or horse, ptooey... a worker, you can avoid fighting the Honkai and lead the remnants of Kanria to survive peacefully!)

Empty (heartbroken): ...

Did the colonel's boomerang finally hit me on the head?

And you just mentioned slaves and cattle, didn't you?! You definitely did, right?!

After hearing Zhongli's words, Kong couldn't help but become curious about their plan.

If you agree, you will have the ability to be resurrected...

Wow, the ability to revive, plus a way to avoid collapse, this is actually making me a little excited!

The thought flashed through his mind, and Kong looked at Zhongli, smiling as he said:
"Since Mr. Zhongli has already put it this way, it seems a bit unreasonable for me to disagree..."

Hearing this, Ying rolled her eyes speechlessly and curled her lip in disdain:
The way you're talking, it's like you think you can deal with the Honkai just because you disagree. Seeking refuge is fine, but why make up this nonsense, as if you have a choice...

Bah! Being too proud to admit your mistakes will only lead to suffering!
The table where the five people were sitting was a round table, and Ying's position was exactly opposite Kong.

So, unsurprisingly, Sora saw Ying's actions.

This! Dead! Sister!
Seeing Ying's actions, Kong's brows furrowed and veins throbbed. He felt a surge of resentment and made up his mind that he would find an opportunity to teach this scum of the earth a lesson!

However, that's something for the future. Now is not the time to cause her trouble. The most important thing right now is to reach a cooperation agreement.

So Kong pretended not to see Ying's actions and continued speaking to Zhongli:

"In that case, on behalf of all the survivors of Kanria, I agree to Mr. Zhongli's request. If there is truly a way for us to survive the Collapse and also to gain the ability to resurrect, then we will certainly do our utmost to make up for the damage we have caused to the Seven Kingdoms..."

There's a trap in this sentence that isn't actually a trap.

Two conditions: first, help Kanria survive the Honkai; second, grant them the ability to revive.

Only when both of these conditions are met will the transaction be fulfilled.

If any one of the conditions is not met, then Kong has a reason not to fulfill the agreement.

It's a trap that isn't really a trap...

It's because Kong never intended to hide it.

Instead, it was presented to the public in a straightforward and open manner, without any concealment.

As the God of Contracts, Zhongli had seen all sorts of contracts, big and small, and strange and unusual, over the past six thousand years. Naturally, he could see through Kong's unusually blatant scheme.

However, he didn't care about this. Kong did this simply for Kanria's safety, which was understandable.

Besides, aren't those two requirements just avoiding the Honkai and getting resurrection coins?
It’s very simple!
After a period of time and once the relocation is completed, Kong will find that these two conditions are exactly as stated.

So, facing Kong's troubled yet expectant gaze, Zhongli didn't say much, just nodded, and then waved his hand.

In an instant, endless purple mist and countless golden rays appeared, reflecting each other, and countless chains of rules and laws emerged from the void.

In a way that no one but Zhongli could understand, it twisted, transformed, intertwined, and wove in the air, eventually turning into a piece of golden paper that was like jade and stone, yet extremely soft, like a scroll painting!

Once the golden paper was formed, the endless golden light transformed into silver characters, which hovered around the edge of the paper for a moment before settling onto it, becoming one rule after another.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that these were not rules or regulations at all, but rather the conditions that Zhongli and Kong had just discussed.

Each item, each detail, was meticulously imprinted on the paper, exuding a mysterious and enigmatic aura.

"what is this?"

Kong was shocked by the scene before him.

This mysterious way of appearing, this overwhelming power that needs no description, this unprecedented strength...

Doesn't this seem a bit out of place with the art style of the Tree Sea World?
and……

This is like the Heavenly Contract from those novels I've read before!
If Zhongli heard Kong's thoughts, he would definitely refute Kong's speculation in a serious manner.

This is indeed a contract, but it is not a Heavenly Dao Contract; rather, it is Zhongli's Martial Soul Absolute Contract.

This is a contract with rules as its paper, laws as its words, the heart as its bondage, and all living beings in heaven and earth as its witnesses, possessing absolute binding force.

Once the contract is signed, anyone whose strength does not exceed Zhongli's third rank will absolutely be unable to violate the contract's provisions.

Because if this contract is violated, not only will the power of the contract itself be violated, but one will also be subject to Morax's Rock-Eating Punishment, who regards the contract as the bottom line.

Most importantly, those who violate the contract will be forcibly subjected to negative buffs such as being blocked by world rules, rejected by the laws of heaven and earth, tortured by inner demons, and shunned by all living beings.

Therefore, under such circumstances, no one could possibly survive.

Zhongli pointed to the extraordinary contract floating above the table and explained:
"This is an absolute contract. It's a new power I recently acquired. As long as someone's strength doesn't exceed mine by three ranks, they absolutely cannot violate this contract!"

"Absolutely...impossible to disobey?"

Kong repeated Zhongli's words, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Then this contract is..."

"You guessed right. This is a contract I drafted with Kanria based on our conversation just now!"

Seeing Kong's expression gradually become subtle, Zhongli immediately guessed that he already knew the purpose of the contract. Therefore, he didn't intend to hide it and smiled at Kong, saying:

"Come over here and see if there's anything else that needs to be added. If not, we can sign the contract right away!"

As he spoke, Zhongli raised his hand and gently pushed the golden contract in mid-air toward the direction where Kong was sitting.

Seeing this, Kong felt completely numb.

Seriously, do you have to be so serious?

Why do we need to sign a contract to form an alliance? And what's more, it's a contract that's almost impossible to break?
Who in all of Teyvat doesn't know how much you, Morax, value contracts?
Even if you give me a verbal agreement, I wouldn't dare to break it.

Is it really necessary to go this far?
(Zhongli: Of course it's useful. If you don't sign the contract, what if you move to that world and find out the price of resurrection coins and the amount you need to exchange, and then you just breach the contract and refuse to acknowledge it? So, it's essential to plan ahead. Don't even think about resisting...)
No matter what Kong thinks, it cannot change Zhongli's mind.

The fact that Zhongli's mind cannot be changed means that this contract must be signed, unless he really wants to die!

Therefore, upon seeing Zhongli's serious and earnest gaze, which showed no hint of jest, Kong could only resignedly accept the floating contract document and examine it carefully.

...The Contract Regarding Kanria's Participation in the Evacuation Plan

First, when leaving Teyvat, Zhongli should take the people of Kanriel with him and help the Kanriel survivors integrate into the new world.

Second, the relocation of the Kanrija survivors must ensure that none of those relocated are heinous criminals.

Third, after surviving this crisis, the people of Kanria need to work hard to earn SoulNet Points to exchange for a sufficient amount of Resurrection Coins for the Seven Kingdoms of the Mortal World. The number of Resurrection Coins is the same as the number of people who sacrificed themselves in the Seven Kingdoms five hundred years ago.

……

……

Because this is an absolute contract, which Kong cannot violate with his strength, Zhongli did not use a large number of rules and restrictions to prevent the contractor from making any illegal acts, as is the case with ordinary contracts.

Instead, they simply took all the content mentioned earlier, organized it slightly, and then engraved it directly onto the surface.

That's why the contract doesn't have many words, only seven or eight articles in total.

Even if you carefully consider each point and read through them slowly, it won't take long.

then……

ten minutes later.

After reading through all the contents of the contract, Kong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zhongli, I have finished reading it, and there are no problems with the contents."

"Kanria had no objection to this either."

Zhong Li nodded, then said, "Well, in that case, can we sign the contract?"

"nature."

The empty words fell.

The contract floating in front of him seemed to have received some signal, and suddenly burst out with dazzling light!

It then split into two halves in mid-air, each floating to Zhongli and Kong's front, before directly entering their bodies and transforming into invisible chains of contract, firmly binding the two parties to the contract.

Kong touched the spot on his chest, where the contract had entered his body.

Kong didn't sense anything unusual there, as if the commotion from before had never happened.

However, Kong's sixth sense was frantically warning him that if he intended to breach the contract, he would inevitably face a fate worse than death...

This has nothing to do with any other thing; it comes purely from the keen and precise senses of a strong person!
"Is this what they call an absolute contract?"

"What a powerful and unsolvable force!"

With a thought, Kong Xin sensed countless danger signals from his sixth sense and immediately spoke up.

After saying that, Kong looked at Zhongli again and said with a smile, "Now that the contract has been signed, shouldn't you tell me the specific details of that so-called relocation plan?"

“Of course, I’ll do it right away…”

Zhongli nodded, just about to answer Kong's question.

"Hey, old man, let me tell you about this!"

Wendy, who was standing nearby, interrupted at this moment.

As a bard, he was a professional storyteller!
When professionals encounter professional tasks, they naturally feel itchy to try them out!

Upon hearing this, Zhongli paused, holding his teacup, then shook his head helplessly, tacitly approving of Wendy's actions.

"Hehe... Well then, let me, the finest bard in the world, tell you the rest of this story..."

Seeing that Zhongli had agreed, Wendy chuckled, then took out a harp and held it to her chest. While playing music, she told Kong about the other world.

"This story begins..."

...One hour break...

"In the end, Mr. Wu Tong agreed to our relocation request and allowed us to go to his world to escape the collapse."

After hearing Wendy's story, Kong was completely stunned and hadn't yet recovered from the experience.

The world beyond the sea of ​​trees, a fantasy world, the Douluo Continent, martial spirits, a relocation plan, a world conquest plan, the Soul Network System...

Everything in this story seems like a magical dream, leaving Kong with a sense of disbelief.

However, he also knew that Wendy and the others had no reason to deceive him, and besides, the logic in that story was so clear, as if Wendy and the others had experienced it themselves.

The story was so realistic that it was impossible to tell it was a lie, which made Sora quickly accept reality.

After accepting reality, Sora quickly became excited:
You have to understand, that's a whole new world!
A world far removed from the Tree Sea, a world without collapse or natural law, where the Kanria could enjoy themselves to the fullest and live a peaceful life.

Once they arrive in that world, they will not only be able to escape the judgment of collapse, but also witness the demise of the natural order.

Most importantly, as a world controller whose strength far surpasses that of Heavenly Law, Wu Tong certainly has the ability to expel the curse from the Kanriyans, and Mr. Wu Tong's intervention can be used to invite others using SoulNet currency...

Therefore, it's only a matter of time before the curse on the Kanriyans is broken.
How could Kong not be excited or thrilled?

“Mr. Zhongli, now that the contract has been reached and the story has been told, I need to go back and make preparations. There are still many things to do in Kanria, so please forgive me for not being able to stay any longer.”

After enjoying himself for a while, Kong said goodbye to Zhongli.

He was now eager to tell Yuan Shang and the others the good news.

"Kong, you're just leaving like this? Leaving me all alone again?"

Upon hearing this, Ying spoke first, before Zhongli could even speak.

Ying stared intently at Kong, wanting him to give her an explanation.

"..."

Kong didn't say anything, but just silently rolled his eyes at Ying and then made a universally recognized friendly gesture.

Without hesitation, he plunged into the abyss portal and left the place.

Only Ying, who had just come to her senses, was left standing there, helplessly furious, watching Kong's departing figure.
