Chapter 25: I Bet with the Gods [Seeking further reading]
Chen Xuan has never experienced the so-called soul limitation.
But he knew Rebecca Miri was not an alarmist.
The effectiveness of the soul contract is simply appalling. It is not like a pure forced constraint, but more like a norm and training rooted in the subconscious.
This is evident in Rebecca's inability to keep secrets from him.
Therefore, a real soul contract must have a binding force that cannot be controlled by subjective consciousness.
After all, according to Naroa Continent, both consciousness and body are "external objects" born after tomorrow, and only the soul is the real "inner" of a living being.
Taming the soul means taming everything.
This is why Goldfinger is committed to protecting his soul's independence.
It is a forbidden area and an irreversible iron law of life.
Regardless of Rebecca's firm attitude, in the final analysis it is because Chen Xuan is a special case!
He dusted himself off and did not continue to ask questions. He had obviously made some kind of decision.
"What temple can contract to grant talents..."
"...I mean the kind of top talents that can cultivate magic and spiritual power at the same time."
...
More than an hour later, the two stood in front of a magnificent temple.
It adopts a centralized form covered by a dome, with a rectangular front and a nearly circular plan.
The main body consists of a square porch hall and a dome hall, which looks particularly grand.
It has the flavor of Blue Star classical architectural style.
Yes, this is a temple.
The name is: "Infinite".
It represents the pursuit and exploration of infinity, infinity and endlessness by the Naroa Aboriginal people.
There is no need to go to temples with obvious characteristics such as knowledge, magic, and war, as most of your needs can be satisfied here.
After all, the possibilities are endless.
Various rare contracts can be concluded here. Of course, the price is hundreds of millions higher than in other temples.
There were no idols, no crosses, no copper basins with incense and candles.
It even seemed like a deserted place. No one came in or out, and it looked very lonely.
This situation just shows that the temple contract is not a cost-effective option for the Naloa natives.
Standing at the foot of the steps built with large square stones, Rebecca suddenly took his hand.
"Master...are you really planning to do this?"
Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
There are risks in this matter, but the benefits are greater.
If he succeeded, it meant that he could collect the contracted wool twice.
You can definitely take this opportunity to gain a higher starting point in a different world without losing any blood.
For him, exploring and developing the world of Naroa is a long-term project.
He needs the extraordinary power of this world to strengthen his advantage in Blue Star, and he also needs the resources of Blue Star to expand his influence on this world.
All early advantages can produce a series of chain reactions.
Without much communication, he stepped up the slightly steep steps resolutely.
It is almost twice as tall as a regular step.
After climbing up more than ten steps, you can enter the hall through the pillars.
The entire hall was empty. Not only were there no believers, but there was also a breeze blowing from the hollow roof.
However, the ground was surprisingly clean and there was no smell around.
There were no statues of gods or any symbols, only a dark pillar standing in the middle of the hall.
There are two eye-catching and strange symbols on the pillar.
It is different from any text in Blue Star, and it is not even a text commonly used in Naroa. Although I don’t recognize it, I can understand the meaning of these two words from a conscious level as long as I take a look at it.
That is————
infinity!
Rebecca took the initiative to prompt Chen Xuan without asking.
"You only need to step forward and touch the sacred pillar to make the contract."
After hearing her words, Chen Xuan nodded lightly and stepped forward.
While walking, he stared slightly and activated his [Insight] ability.
He wanted to see if his golden finger [plug-in] could bring him some extraordinary information.
The golden subtitles appeared quickly, and a strange color appeared on his face.
[The divine pillar is condensed from countless longings and prayers. It can communicate specific rules and divine will]
...
This [Insight] message is a note and analysis of the divine pillar.
This once again verified Chen Xuan's guess.
And it comes from [plug-in], which is extremely reliable.
Again, if Goldfinger wants to trick himself, there is no need to use this method.
So under this premise, Goldfinger is most likely reliable.
Completely ruling out the theory of higher-dimensional biology that might lead to revenge from the gods, Chen Xuan stood in front of the divine pillar, stretched out his palm, and gently pressed it against it.
The cold touch made him shiver immediately.
The next moment, his mind left his body and came to a dark space.
Then, an erratic light slowly lit up.
This ball of light sometimes appears gray, sometimes appears lavender, and it seems to have infinite colors when immersed in it.
Without any operation, a blank contract with a yellowish brown color and a simple texture was condensed in the light.
[Conclude your wish to contract with your thoughts]
~~~~~
The handwriting appears, like a reminder.
Chen Xuan filled in the words with his mind as required:
"Give me the top talents of all elemental inductions in terms of magic and spiritual power meditation." ... [
You
are enough to pay the contract requirements]
[The details are as follows]
[Condition maintenance period: 0.17 water clocks. Time]
[Price to pay: full lifespan, potential, memories of past and present, soul that can never be redeemed] [
So, are you willing to sign the contract? 】
~~~~~~
After seeing the feedback on the conditions imposed on him by the contract, Chen Xuan secretly cursed the profiteer in his heart.
All overdrafts can only be exchanged for the top dual talents of 0.17 in water!
Converted to a maintenance time of 30 minutes and 36 seconds.
If the contract is carried out normally, it will definitely be an act that outweighs the gains and losses!
No wonder the temple is extremely deserted.
Chen Xuan finally understood the price Rebecca said.
He admitted there was an element of gambling involved.
But since he was collecting the gods' wool, he allowed himself to take risks!
There is no point in betting against the gods and getting the upper hand.
Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment before choosing to conclude the contract!
Various clauses were quickly filled in on the blank contract.
Relevant content is updated simultaneously in his mind.
In addition to the strict terms on cashing out the price and restricting suicide, etc.
There are not many restrictions in other aspects.
After all, the contract period is only a mere 0.17 water hours.
It's like depriving yourself of food, whether you eat or not is a matter of fact.
[Conclusion Completed]
~~~~
The last line of writing appeared, and the contract was completed.
Chen Xuan's consciousness immediately returned to reality.
When he took back the palm that was close to the divine pillar, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"That's it!"
"This is the feeling of soul limitation!"
He only felt that there were many more rules and regulations in his subconscious.
Subtly restrict his behavior.
But at the same time, Chen Xuan also felt unprecedentedly free and clear!
