Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 557 - 53: Heavenly Destiny Contract (Part 2)

As expected, his guess was correct. The Demon Lord did not delay for too long before continuing to speak.

"During that time, the entire Source World was like a dark forest, filled with slaughter, and cultivators did not dare to easily reveal their Heavenly Mandate, for fear of being targeted and killed... Later, there was a change in the world, and a [Heavenly Decree] appeared above The Firmament, also known as the Heavenly Destiny Contract."

"The requirements are simple. First, it is permissible to comprehend multiple fragments of the heavens, but one must not seize core legacies or cut off any fragments of the heavens; otherwise, one will suffer from the Heavenly Destiny Curse and be hunted by the Heaven Mandate Hall and all Fate Masters. Second, when the Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure that has been forged enters the top ten, a part of the strength must be forsaken to enter a reclusive state..."

Zhang Xuan was silent.

He naturally knew how powerful the top ten Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasures were.

As long as one controls this item, with the power of 99 Second Level Destiny forces, they could easily slaughter over ninety percent and even if captured, they could preserve their lives, completely unharmed.

Therefore, it was understandable to impose restrictions on those strong enough to forge such treasures.

"What does it mean to be reclusive?" After a while, Zhang Xuan could not help but ask.

"It’s simple: do not meddle in any affairs of the Source World, divide the fragments of the heavens you practice into many branches without any hierarchy, and the most important thing is to limit the lifespan to within three thousand years. After three thousand years, the controlled power must be separated..."

The Demon Lord said.

"Divide into branches? Without hierarchy? And life span must be locked?"

Zhang Xuan’s face immediately darkened.

This was not simply seclusion; it was constraining him with a tightening curse.

Once agreed, with dispersed power, even possessing the Xuanyuan War Chariot, his combat strength would be greatly reduced, and at that time, it would become impossible to resist this Demon Lord.

Seeing this expression of his, the Demon Lord smiled and continued: "Not only that, but any surplus artifacts, or treasures reaching the level of celestial treasures must also be contributed... For example, the Eternal Heart, Chengde Sword, Demon Dragon Saber, and the like must be handed over, as these celestial treasures, like the fragments of the heavens, if controlled in excess, will cause an imbalance of power and according to the Heavenly Destiny Contract, must be handled..."

"What if... I don’t wish to be reclusive?" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

The Demon Lord’s mouth cracked open: "We will jointly issue the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree, defining you as the Mandate Chaos Master, and from then on, you will be wanted by all Fate Masters... and your legacy will also be besieged until it is annihilated!"

Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes.

The most important aspect of maintaining the fragments of the heavens is the legacy.

For example, the Power Destiny is powerful because power encompasses the entire Source World; as long as someone exercises power, it can provide belief and strength to the Power Destiny.

The Love Destiny is a First Level Destiny for the same reason; as long as people have emotions, those emotions can continuously provide Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

And if the legacy is cut off, no matter how powerful a destiny is, it will collapse and eventually grow weaker and weaker.

"Not right... As the Demon Lord, I don’t believe you don’t have a top ten Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasure, so if you want me to hand over Celestial treasures like the Eternal Heart, shouldn’t you also hand over more resources?"

A spark of enlightenment flashed, and Zhang Xuan looked over.

Since the so-called Heavenly Destiny Contract descends upon the Source World, isn’t this Demon Lord and the Buddha also violating it?

Not to mention him, Emperor Fusheng is the same.

The royal family’s treasures are countless; not only do they reach the top ten Second Level Heavenly Destiny Treasures, but they probably even reach the First Level, so why not distribute their treasures? ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Amitabha, the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree is a punishment descending from the Source World, but it requires the agreement of more than half of the Tier 2 Fate Controllers before it is announced to the heavens, and... we have already agreed to punish you!"

The Buddha spoke.

"I see..."

Zhang Xuan came to a sudden realization.

In places like the Tianli Empire, Buddhist Sect, and Demon Sect, no matter how many treasures there are, their forces are intertwined and no one dares to offend, but he is different; being alone, the so-called announcement to the heavens is just an excuse to rob celestial treasures.

"So, what do you think? We will give you time to choose. Agree to be reclusive, and we will no longer make things difficult for you. Do not go into hiding... then await the arrival of the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree and endure endless punishment!"

The Demon Lord chuckled with excitement in his eyes.

No matter which choice the other side made, they would end up becoming prey on his plate and could no longer jump around.

"Sorry, I don’t want to choose either one..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"Don’t want to choose? It’s not up to you now..."

As if he anticipated such an answer, the Demon Lord looked around, his booming voice ringing out: "Everyone, you heard him. This Zhang Xuan disagrees, so you should all know what choice to make!"

"That’s simple, I support announcing to the heavens and summoning the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree!"

"I also agree!"

"This lawless guy deserves punishment, I agree too!"

As the Demon Lord finished, many Fate Controllers around voiced their agreement in unison.

In just over twenty breaths, over sixty forces declared their support for announcing to the heavens.

"Haha, Zhang Xuan, I can give you one more chance to make a choice..." The Demon Lord laughed.

"No need to choose..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "You just want to kill me and take my treasures, right? Then try it, I also want to see how many of you will survive after killing me!"

"Amitabha, since Benefactor Zhang Xuan is unwilling to abide by the rules, let everyone jointly petition the heavens!"

The Buddha’s chant resounded.

"Wait, I wish to persuade..." At this moment, the elegantly looking Yun Shuiyao stepped forward.

"Oh, it’s Your Majesty the Water Emperor, alright, you may try!" The Demon Lord frowned but eventually nodded in agreement.

Everyone also looked over in unison.

Yun Shuiyao looked at Zhang Xuan, her gaze calm: "Zhang Xuan, in your situation, it is best to be reclusive. These are the laws of the world, don’t feel aggrieved. It’s not just you; the Four Great Families and Seven Sacred Lands within the First Level Destiny are the same. After seclusion, although you will be subject to many restrictions, at least you can still live... Otherwise, once the Chaotic Destiny Heaven Tribulation Decree descends, you will face endless punishment and crisis."

"The reason I tell you this is partly because I cherish talent, and partly because your student Zhao Ya is currently practicing under my tutelage; I do not wish her future practice to be affected, so I hope you can cooperate!"

"Zhao Ya is practicing here with you?"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, looked over, and indeed saw his young lady filled with worry.

When Zhao Ya was taken away by the Wanxiang Sect, he didn’t know where she was sent. This was their first meeting since the departure.

"Teacher..."

Seeing him look over, Zhao Ya could no longer hold back and flew over with a leap.
