Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 271: Choices and Contracts, the Dust Settles.

"What is this all about?"

Kukudar was completely bewildered.

"Are you sure you're not joking with me? And you're serious?"

At this moment, while the eight ancient gods opposite were also bewildered, Kukudar widened his eyes and asked.

"A great being."

"I was serious."

At this moment, the Feathered God's eyes were more resolute than ever before.

It appeared almost instantly, like a flash of light streaking across the sea of ​​stars, directly below the head of the giant serpent god Kukudar.

Under the watchful eyes of many ancient deities, the Feathered Insect God's gaze was resolute.

"To be honest, you are a great being, and perhaps at first I even fantasized about fighting against you."

"But now, as you can see, I actually have no choice."

"With this planet and these fools, I have absolutely no chance of winning against you."

At this point, the Feathered Insect God turned around and looked at the eight ancient gods who had gathered together after he left, his eyes filled with even more hatred.

At the same time, He continued:

"Even if I could convince these stupid guys to fight against you right now."

"But, I don't think the final result was in my favor."

"In fact, it's quite possible that at some point, I'll become a target of these guys."

"Therefore, you are a great being."

"Do you think I have a choice?"

This?
Kukudar had naturally become aware of the grudges between the land deities of this world over the past few days.

What He didn't expect was...

The original plan by the gods of the Star Empire to sow discord among these deities, especially to win over the Forest Clan and the Frost Clan, has completely failed.
No.

It wasn't entirely a complete failure, since the situation with the giant tree stump and the Frost God was still uncertain.

But, regardless of the situation of the gods of these two races.

In the eyes of the gods of the Star Empire, the greatest threat to this journey, and the gods of the Feathered Insect Clan, would be the first to surrender.
Is there something wrong with this script?
Therefore, even the two main gods who had been paying close attention to this battlefield, the Storm Goddess and the Troll God Moriden, looked somewhat surprised when they saw the Feathered Insect God submit to Kukudar.

"Ok."

Kukudar could understand the situation of the Feathered Insect God.

Indeed.

A god who is not welcomed by the local deities and even faces hostility from foreign deities.

What choice did He have?
Anyone who isn't truly stupid will try to find a way out of this predicament.

For someone like the Feathered Insect God, submitting to the giant serpent god Kukudar immediately was indeed the optimal solution.

"I think I understand your situation."

"However, you don't need to attack them for now. Just rest quietly to the side."

Kukudar ultimately chose to accept the Feathered Insect God.

"Well done, you are a great being."

Upon hearing this, the Feathered Insect God showed neither joy nor anger.

His gaze became calmer than ever before at this moment.

No one knows what He is thinking.

But none of that matters to Kukudar anymore.

The next moment, Kukudar looked back at the eight ancient gods on the other side of the starry sea.

His tone softened somewhat.

“I think you have seen it too, the Feathered Insect God has already submitted to me.”

"Therefore, in my opinion, your chances are already very slim."

"Of course, you can also try to escape to other areas of the Star Sea now, or you can continue to descend into the mortal world to hide."

"However, you should think carefully about the consequences and costs of doing so."

The moment Kukudar finished speaking, the eight ancient gods fell silent.

Of course, they weren't truly silent; they were communicating telepathically and discussing something.

Ultimately, it happened in less than a moment.

The frost giant among them took a step forward with a grave expression and looked at Kukudar in the distance of the starry sea, speaking as follows:

"What a magnificent existence!"

"We've already discussed it."

"However, before answering you, could you tell us what price we would have to pay if we chose to submit to you?"

"In other words, what will we need to do for you from now on, and what kind of environment will we be in?"

Upon hearing this, Kukudar's expression immediately relaxed, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"cost?"

"No, no, you don't need to give anything."

"It seems you haven't communicated with your own clan yet."

"However, it doesn't matter. I can tell you clearly that once you submit to the Star Empire, once you submit to the powerful Dragon God..."

"Not only will you not have to pay anything, you will also gain a safer and better future."

As he spoke, Kukudar turned around.

The next moment, a star gate opened.

At the same time, a large number of drones quickly and densely flew in.

Soon, all the drones turned on their projection devices.

They collectively projected a giant image, over a hundred kilometers long and wide, into the sea of ​​stars.

The grand opening scene naturally depicts the founding of the Star Empire and the subsequent wars.

Everything about the Empire of Stars.

These ancient deities were completely bewildered, even with Kukudar providing on-site commentary.

They still don't quite understand.

Of course, I don't understand this very well.

They simply didn't understand what an empire or civilization was.

They couldn't even understand why a terrifying god like Kukudar would obey the arrangements of some mortals and mortal gods.

But whether they understand or not is no longer important.

Importantly, Kukudar is conveying a message to them.

That is, within the civilization of the Star Empire.

Deities are not absolute and cannot represent everything.

If there is anything truly absolute in the Star Empire...

Therefore, without a doubt, it could only be the great Dragon God.

The true creator and protector of the Star Empire.

And under His command, there are both mortals and gods in the empire.

They're all just members of the same group, each doing their own job.

There aren't many differences.

The only difference is that beings who can become gods, or even slightly more powerful beings, will be assigned their respective duties as needed, and will also gain some privileges.

That's it.

After all, the Star Empire could not truly be a world where all races are equal and everyone is equal.

Because true equality is inequality.

Especially in a world and civilization with extraordinary powers, absolute equality means inequality towards these extraordinary individuals.

Therefore, the equality of the Star Empire is only relative.

All privileges must be determined by an individual's power and contribution to the empire.

Therefore, Kukudar also made a direct statement.

Like these ancient deities, once they join the Star Empire, they naturally gain a transcendent status. (Super Thug)

They will not be enslaved, nor will they be devoured by Kukudar.

In short, they can still live as they please most of the time.

However, from then on, they could no longer devour mortals at will. And when faced with enemies of civilization, or in the event of a war between civilizations, they would have to obey the decisions of the Dragon God, or even the gods.

Of course, this is because they themselves are gods.

Therefore, when the gods make decisions, they can also be a part of it and offer their own opinions.

Furthermore, if they encounter danger, they can naturally receive help from all the gods of the Star Empire, or even the protection of the Dragon God.

Rights and obligations.

Kukudar has said everything he could.

It even briefly introduced the current sphere of influence of the Star Empire.

For example, how many worlds one possesses, or how many other worlds' deities one has, etc.

In short, three sunrises and sunsets passed on the desolate planet during this conversation.

Only then did they, including the Feathered Insect God, learn of it.

So, the starry sea beyond our world is so vast?
So, so-called civilizations and powerful gods can actually do this?

Conquer the endless sea of ​​stars, conquer the endless worlds, gods and mortals alike explore the mysteries of the entire starry sea and all that is unknown.

For the ancient gods of the desolate planet.

The things the Star Empire wanted to do were truly astonishing to them.

Just how powerful is the Dragon God behind the Star Empire?
Kukudar never specifically mentioned this point from the beginning.

He simply said that the Dragon God was far more powerful and benevolent than He.

At the same time, it is currently dormant on the so-called sun.

In short, Kukudar believed that they would naturally meet the Dragon God one day.

"So, I think you should now know everything you want to know."

"Then, you may now make your decision directly."

Kukudar finally spoke again.

At this moment, the eight ancient gods of the desolate planet all revealed extremely complex expressions.

"The great being, we truly know everything."

"However, great being, the Feathered Insect God has a long-standing grudge against us."

"If we choose to join the Star Empire and submit to the great Dragon God, what will happen if the Feathered Insect God clashes with us?"

At that moment, the green god, resembling a tree stump, suddenly spoke.

"Hmm? Since they are both gods of the empire, how can they possibly clash?"

"What reason do you have to continue fighting? It can't be to seize the title of the number one ancient god among the gods of the empire, can it?"

"If that's the case, you should first think about whether you can defeat me and the Dragon God."

Kukudar paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

Even more so, it was said at the end:
"However, you won't have that chance either."

"This time, all the ancient gods of the Savage Star."

“You, all of you, and all of you, once you choose to join the Empire, you will need to sign a spiritual contract with the powerful Dragon God.”

"The terms of the contract will strictly constrain your behavior and may even prevent any opportunity for you to rebel later."

As he spoke, Kukudar's thoughts began to stir.

And so, thousands of miles away, Cheng Ge and the other seven gods heard a voice.

"Teachers, I think you can now use your authority to summon the real game's authorization-level contract book."

To be honest, everything that happened on the desolate planet really caught Cheng Ge and the others off guard.

I originally thought there was going to be a big battle.

The results were so unexpected that they were left both amused and exasperated.

This scene feels strangely familiar.

Although they were also quite satisfied with this outcome.

After all, the more gods who submit to the empire, the stronger the Star Empire's foundation.

But they still couldn't help but complain.

'Is it possible that in the War of Civilizations, the Empire will never encounter a tough opponent?'

However, upon closer reflection, they can actually understand.

Beings as powerful as Lin Ke and the Giant Serpent God are probably rare even in the entire universe.

When you encounter them, as long as your brain isn't completely broken, you'll be fine.

They should all make the right choice.

After all, the Star Empire isn't some kind of monstrous empire that devours people without spitting out their bones.

There's no need to resist to the end.

And so, right after Kukudar transmitted the message.

Cheng Ge and the others immediately used their respective secondary privileges to convey their will to the real game.

That is, to directly form a contract with the ancient gods of the current desolate planet by leveraging the core power of a real game.

The ancient gods were not ordinary gods after all.

The power of contracts between ordinary deities, or even between beings at the level of chief gods, is ineffective against them.

Besides, the Star Empire doesn't have a single God of Contract at the level of a main god.

Even if there are.

Not safe either.

After all, whether they are the supreme gods or the rulers, even if they have studied the laws of contracts.

That would absolutely not be able to effectively restrain the ancient gods.

After all, the growth potential of ancient gods is very high, and their growth rate is faster than that of ordinary gods.

Once the ancient gods grow to a level similar to or even stronger than ordinary gods, they will reach a point where they are in a dominant position.

The original power of the contract will no longer be effective.

Therefore, if the Star Empire wants to truly restrain these guys, it can only rely on the power of real games.

Therefore, in this situation, the operating rules of the actual game will naturally not reject their proposal.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the ancient gods.

Just as Kukudar seemed to have finished speaking, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared around them.

This fluctuation did not manifest in any substantial way.

But all the ancient gods felt an unprecedented sense of terrifying gaze upon them.

Even Kukudar felt this.

However, the gaze that Kukudar felt had a strange sense of familiarity.

Therefore, Kukudar was only startled for a moment, then his expression brightened slightly as he said:
"Choose!"

"Under the watchful eye of the Dragon God, and witnessed by the power of the contract, state your decision!"

At that moment, what Kukudar was unaware of was that, under this gaze, a large amount of information simultaneously appeared in the minds of all the ancient gods around him.

And this information is precisely the content of the contract.

The contract is very simple, and can be summarized in three points.

First, once they join the Star Empire, they must not actively harm any living beings within the Star Empire or the development of the Empire.

Second, once they join the Star Empire, they must not defect or harm any of the Empire's allies.

Third. After joining the Star Empire, they must cooperate with all the actions of the Pantheon, and most importantly, they must obey all the will of the Dragon God.

That's about it, just these three points.

However, the contract also guaranteed their rights.

First, if they encounter danger, the Star Empire, and even the Dragon God, will provide them with support and protection.

Second, the Imperial Pantheon, including the Dragon Gods, will not do anything that might send them to their deaths. When faced with a powerful enemy, they can choose for themselves whether to persevere or continue.

In short, this contract is not particularly harsh.

They were even considered friendly to them.

As for the consequences of breaking the contract, the contract information did not mention them, but these ancient gods all felt an extreme sense of oppression.

The consequences of breaking the contract will be dire; even if you don't die, they will likely be extremely terrifying.

However, at this point, these guys clearly had no other choice.

So, in the end, right under Kukudar's watchful eye.

The surrounding deities watched as the Feathered Insect God seemed to be the first to sign the contract, a light flashing across his body. At that moment, everything was settled.
