Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 265: Sunk Costs
The oath in Douluo World is sent to the angel gods and the world consciousness of Douluo World. These two will indeed affect the oath to a certain extent, but they cannot guarantee everything. So when people swear, they will add "guarantee with their own martial spirit" after "xxx".

The principle is unclear, but violating the oath will indeed cause problems with the martial soul. The lighter one is that the soul power progress is hindered, and the more serious one is that the martial soul is directly damaged or life is threatened. But Chen Ming also knows that there are a lot of people on the Douluo Continent who seem to be fine after breaking the oath after swearing on their martial souls.

He had never tried it himself, so he didn't know the principles behind it. But he knew that swearing to the origin of the universe was a very serious oath.

If swearing to the world consciousness of Douluo World is equivalent to swearing to the Heavenly Dao in the fantasy world, and if all things have a glimmer of hope after fifty days of evolution and forty-nine days of the Great Dao, then swearing to the origin of the universe is equivalent to swearing to the Great Dao.

Not everyone can take this oath, and not everyone dares to break it.

If the world consciousness of Douluo World gets angry, it will at most use thunder to strike people, but once you run out of Douluo Star, you can't catch up. If the origin of the universe gets angry, it will basically destroy you and turn your body and soul into ashes, so it's useless to hide in any corner of the universe.

These are all casually mentioned in the God Realm Encyclopedia of the God King of Destruction, and the God King of Destruction also noted that one must be qualified to swear an oath to the origin of the universe. The origin of the universe will basically ignore the gods below the first-level gods who swear to the origin of the universe, and even the beings above the first-level gods will pay a price for swearing.

Obviously, according to the Angel God, she would pay the price. This was clearly a sign of her determination.

Do not threaten Douluo Star and do not reveal Douluo Palace within three hundred years. This is really not a big problem for Chen Ming.

Under the gaze of the three eyes of the angel god who had transformed into a three-eyed golden lion, Chen Ming nodded.

"These things are my responsibility. I will do them even if there is no reward."

"It is very bad to ask people to take responsibility without giving them any benefits. I have seen many people who originally had no ill intentions become malicious because of this kind of thing. I have even seen people who were not malicious at first become malicious because of this kind of thing."

The Angel God had obviously experienced something, but he just didn't want to talk about it.

"You have great talent, so consider it as my investment in you. Even if I fail, with you in the future, Douluo Star will not be at risk of destruction. After all, you are also a member of Douluo Star. Even if you don't like this world, this is your hometown and base."

"Come, follow me."

The three-eyed golden lion rose into the air with its four feet stepping on golden flames, and Chen Ming flapped his wings to chase after it.

The space inside the small world was very peculiar. The ancient golden tree that was thousands of feet high was actually not very close to Chen Ming. However, under the active control of the Angel God, the distance in the space was adjusted. It took the two of them less than two minutes to reach the crown of the ancient golden tree.

Standing on a branch of the ancient golden tree that was big enough to build a school playground, Chen Ming felt the space around him and couldn't help but admire the Angel God.

The space was not distorted, but adjusted. Distortions will be restored by the law over time, but adjustments represent permanent changes. The Angel God distorted a channel, but did not affect other spaces. The exquisiteness of this operation simply made Chen Ming amazed.

Accompanied by a roar that sounded like a lion but not a lion, and a dragon but not a dragon, the origin of the ancient golden tree was stimulated, and the two people standing on the branches were swallowed up by the golden light of the ancient golden tree and came to the space inside the ancient golden tree.

If the vitality of the outside world is comparable to the core of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, then the power in the ancient golden tree is no longer as simple as vitality. It is almost liquefied and mixed with a divine transcendent aura, and has already begun to transform into fairy spirit. In the deepest part of this space, there is a special power, which is the aura of chaotic energy, the aura of the most original power in the universe.

Chen Ming subconsciously activated his ability and stimulated his spirituality to the greatest extent to try to observe, but the spiritual power that had always been invincible lost its effect at this moment.

Even though he could observe some of the information emitted from the origin of the God of Destruction and the God of Life, and understand the knowledge in the universe through the characteristics of the two, the power of chaos is a force that only appears when the universe is born and destroyed. It is enough to create a new world, and its mystery is so profound that no one in the known universe can explain it.

Even the Dragon God at that time only got some of the scraps, and only after killing the Phoenix God of the same level and devouring its essence did he complete the other part. But this became a taboo in the God Realm.

The Angel God turned his head and glanced at Chen Ming, but did not say anything more. Instead, he communicated with the Golden Ancient Tree. As part of the Golden Ancient Tree's essence burned, Chen Ming and the Angel God's will were pushed into a mysterious world.

The huge amount of information from the origin of the universe indiscriminately impacted Chen Ming's brain. It seemed like a second had passed, and it seemed like ten thousand years had passed. Chen Ming seemed to feel that he knew everything, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to feel that he felt nothing.

In the eyes of the Angel God, Chen Ming was just stunned for a moment. But in fact, even Chen Ming himself didn't know how much "time" had passed for him, or he was not even sure whether there was a concept of time in this area.

The Angel God's divine consciousness used the power of the ancient golden tree to attract the laws of the universe, and then urged Chen Ming.

Under the witness of the laws of the universe, Chen Ming made a vow.

"I, Chen Ming, guarantee with my existence that I will not threaten Douluo Star itself within the standard three hundred years of Douluo Star, and will not reveal the existence of the subspace in Douluo Palace to the God Realm."

Chen Ming simply said a few words, but the laws of the universe did record these words and the meanings they represented. A mysterious force wrapped around Chen Ming, making him understand that his oath had been accepted by the laws of the universe.

After the oath was completed, the connection between the ancient golden tree and the laws of the universe was cut off. The Angel God looked at the ancient golden tree whose light had dimmed a little with some helplessness, and sighed slowly to Chen Ming.

"This oath of yours has consumed one percent of all the power accumulated in the Douluo Palace plane."

The Angel God felt a little sorry for the power, because to put it bluntly, if the little power just consumed was used up, it would be enough to create ten Super Douluo.

If it is poured into a soul beast, even a soft-bone rabbit that is stupid enough to crash into a tree stump by the roadside can be forced to have the cultivation level of 700,000 to 800,000 years. If it is a soul beast with higher talent and quality, it will be close to a divine beast. If it is absorbed by a fierce beast, it may even allow them to forcibly break through the laws and restrictions of the Douluo World.

After paying such a huge price, the angel god could not remain calm. She glanced at Chen Ming and transformed into the form of the three-eyed golden lion again, and then the power in her body surged.

"Okay, now tell me what kind of second martial spirit you want, and I will try my best to adjust it for you."
