The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 682 Bone Contract
"It's a scam!"

This was Liang Yuan's first reaction.

He immediately felt a slight urge, not afraid that the other party was treacherous, perhaps he could glean some more information from their words.

"Oh? You want to make a deal with me? What kind of deal?"

Ling Yurong smiled slightly: "Your strength is not bad. I have a mortal enemy who is hidden deep in the sea. Recently, I have been able to sense that he is also gradually recovering."

"If you can help me kill him, all his legacy will be yours, and I will also teach you the secret to immortality."

Liang Yuan immediately sneered inwardly.

So it turns out he wanted to be his henchman.

Instead of refusing outright, he showed a hint of interest and asked, "Your mortal enemy, isn't he also an ancient superhuman?"

"You're already so powerful, so he must be quite formidable as your rival."

Ling Yurong nodded slightly: "Of course, his strength is no less than mine, but he was unlucky. He awakened a water-attribute ability, which is countered by me."

"But he is cunning and has been hiding underwater for a long time. We are determined to conquer the flood and get out of this starry sky."

"But he changed himself, adapted to the flood world, and was willing to continue to be a god and ancestor in this world."

Liang Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately asked, "Isn't this better? If we can survive in the flood world, why must we risk leaving this world?"

Ling Yurong glanced at Liang Yuan: "Aren't you curious about this flood? Don't you want to know where our supernatural powers come from?"

"Where did the endless mutated beasts in that flood come from? Every few centuries, there is a cycle of such floods that destroy the world, and new species are born."

"Don't you want to know what lies beyond the heavens? Don't you want to pursue even greater power?"

Liang Yuan said, "Since you can already live forever, why bother with these things?"

Ling Yurong paused for a moment, then shook her head: "My method of achieving immortality cannot be considered complete immortality."

"What do you mean?" Liang Yuan immediately asked.

Ling Yurong remained silent, saying, "If you agree, I can tell you my secret to immortality. But for now, I will not tell you."

Liang Yuan asked, "You'd believe me if I said I agreed?"

Ling Yurong waved her hand, and a blue domino floated out of her hand. She said, "This is a bone contract, containing cause and effect. Make a vow to the bone contract, and I will believe you."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed as he looked at the dominoes.

But on the dominoes, blue runes flowed, dense and complex.

A subtle glint flashed in Liang Yuan's eyes.

Without a sound, the [Damage Transfer] skill has been activated.

As a skill that is also based on cause and effect, [Damage Transfer] allows Liang Yuan to temporarily perceive the existence of cause and effect using his mental power while in this state.

As expected, under his mental intervention, he sensed causal lines crisscrossing the dominoes.

Once you make an oath to it, you'll likely be immediately entangled in karma!

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "How can I believe you? What if these dominoes are some other kind of deadly weapon?"

"That's simple, you can find someone to try it and you'll see."

As she spoke, Ling Yurong reached out and tossed the domino to Liang Yuan.

Instead of directly taking it, Liang Yuan used his mental power to quickly control the dominoes to float several meters away in front of him.

Ling Yurong sneered: "Your strength is no less than mine, yet you are so cowardly."

Liang Yuan ignored her and said calmly, "Your strength is superb, so you must have set up an array to ambush me?"

These words left Ling Yurong speechless, and she could only let out a cold snort.

"You can use your mental power to activate the dominoes and the bone contracts within them."

"Find someone to swear an oath to the bone pact, then have them break the oath, and you will see the effect."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly; this was indeed a good idea.

However, he had an even simpler way.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and runes faintly lit up within them.

He actually activated the psionic identification skill directly!
A vague message entered his mind.

"Item analysis... Thunder Crane Cloud Bone..."

"Main attribute... Spirit type... Secondary attribute... Constitution..."

"Skill category...causality..."

This information is vague, but it is generally possible to identify that this bonsai tablet is indeed a causal item.

The Psionic Appraisal classifies the above rune skills directly into causal skills.

However, Liang Yuan was unable to obtain more detailed information.

I don't know if my psionic appraisal skill level is too low to appraise items of this level, or if psionic appraisal can only provide this much information.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, put away the dominoes, and said, "I need to think about it. Tell me about your rival first."

Ling Yurong shook her head slightly: "Talk to me again when you've thought it through."

Liang Yuan immediately said, "Alright, then I'll wait until I've thought it over before I leave. Goodbye."

Without another word, he flashed away, and the Crimson Fire Eagle flapped its wings and flew off, quickly disappearing into the sky.

Ling Yurong watched Liang Yuan's disappearing figure, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly smiled.

"The fish has taken the bait."

At this moment, a figure appeared beside her, dressed in a black robe. It was the man who had been frozen in the Ice Crystal Palace.

He asked, "Master, does this person really know how to use the Bone Pact?"

Ling Yurong said coldly, "As long as he is interested in the truth about the flood and the end times, and in us ancient people, he will definitely find a way to get involved."

“The bone contract I gave him is without fault, he will naturally believe it.” “This subordinate does not understand, why do you want him to go with you to find Lord Quanke? Lord Quanke should have recovered by now and is in the process of recovering his strength, right? We must not let this person ruin Lord Quanke’s cultivation progress.”

"It will be difficult for me to subdue this person on my own. If we find Quan Ke and the two of us join forces, we should be able to subdue him and make him work for us."

"Besides, my target has never been this person."

Ling Yurong chuckled softly and said no more.

……

With flames illuminating the sky, Liang Yuan flew dozens of kilometers in an instant and could already see the floating island of the Dark Abyss ahead.

He swayed and returned to human form.

I landed on the floating island at the mouth of the Dark Abyss and felt the atmosphere of the island.

The freezing cold caused by the water beetles in the frozen soil has dissipated.

The dark energy at the mouth of the Dark Abyss has returned to normal.

Upon entering the island, Fanshan Town has been rebuilt, and the destroyed houses and other buildings have been reconstructed.

In addition, the sunken ground has been filled in again.

The mutated sunflowers have also recovered, and the barrier around Fanshan Town has been properly rearranged.

"Mr. Liang is back!"

Upon seeing Liang Yuan, everyone rushed forward to greet him.

Han Xiangman, Wu Ying, Zhang Peng and the others came out to greet them immediately.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly to them and said, "I brought some people back this time. These people are for you to expand the scale of Fanshan Town."

With that, he waved his hand and released all the people he had captured from the City of Mist.

Many of these people came from Beichen Island and Yang Baoshan, including an old acquaintance, Tang Xing'an.

These people, having regained their freedom, were immediately filled with gratitude towards Liang Yuan and knelt down in worship.

Liang Yuan was already used to it. After calming these people down, he handed them over to Wu Ying and the others to arrange accommodations.

Han Xiangman asked, "What's the situation in the City of Mist? Did you kill Chang Yuntao?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, his expression solemn, and said, "Chang Yuntao is dead, but I didn't kill him."

"What? He's dead? Who killed him?"

"A woman named Ling Yurong."

Han Xiangman was stunned, somewhat incredulous: "A woman? What woman, so powerful?"

"This woman has quite a background. She calls herself the Lord of the Frozen Sea and resides in the Netherworld Ice Palace in the North Sea. Her name is Ling Yu Rong. According to her, she has survived since ancient times and has mastered the secret of immortality."

"what!"

Han Xiangman once again showed a look of shock.

This news is simply unbelievable.

This apocalyptic flood was beyond everyone's comprehension.

Now, a superhuman who has survived since ancient times has actually appeared?
"Were there superhumans in ancient times?" Zhang Peng couldn't help but ask in astonishment.

"Mr. Liang, do you think this is believable?" Wu Ying couldn't help but ask.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "Judging from her behavior, she really doesn't seem to be from our time."

"This can be faked, right?" Han Xiangman couldn't help but ask.

Liang Yuan said, "Behavior can be faked, but rune techniques cannot be faked."

"She has mastered a large number of ways to use supernatural runes, knows many techniques for using rune arrays, and has even built a rune city!"

“The city is like a rune array; entering the city is like entering the array. I almost got caught in it this time, so I don’t think what she said is false.”

Another point is that when Liang Yuan unleashed his numerous attribute abilities, the woman was only surprised, not shocked.

It seems she has seen people with extraordinary talent like Liang Yuan before, so she is eager to subdue Liang Yuan, but not to kill him.

Liang Yuan's words caused the people present to fall silent.

"If it's true, how did this person manage to live from ancient times to the present?" Wu Ying murmured.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "I don't know, and from what she said, there may still be many superhumans still alive in ancient times."

"They have escaped the ravages of time through various mysterious means, surviving until now, seemingly just waiting for this flood to end the world."

"What do you mean? This flood is the end of the world? Are there other floods that will bring an end of the world?" Han Xiangman keenly grasped the key point and quickly asked.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "According to her, this is not the first time that a great flood has destroyed the world. Such a great flood has already occurred in the ancient times of mankind."

"Both our myths and legends and those of other countries contain accounts of a flood that destroyed the world."

"You mean the story of the great battle between the fire god Zhurong and the water god Gonggong, which caused the collapse of the pillar of heaven and the overflowing of the Milky Way?" Zhang Peng asked in astonishment.

“The Western myth of God flooding the world, the Noah’s Ark myth…” Han Xiangman immediately brought up foreign myths, her voice becoming increasingly dreamy.

"hiss--"

Wu Ying gasped, her mind going completely blank for a moment.

A great flood that destroyed the world, a myth and legend...

There was actually a connection between these two things!

How many cycles of cataclysm have humanity experienced?
Seeing that they were all distraught and speechless with shock at the news, Liang Yuan noticed them.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "It's not just the flood that destroyed the world; the ancient legends about gods and immortals were probably also influenced by the supernatural beings of that era."

"The gods, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, those legendary figures with great supernatural powers, are probably all related to people with supernatural abilities."

"The most important thing for us now is to improve ourselves as quickly as possible so that we are qualified to survive this great flood."
