Secret Buyer-Chapter 135 - 118: Trading Power, World Distortion, Cause and Effect Shift!

Chapter 135: Chapter 118: Trading Power, World Distortion, Cause and Effect Shift!

If it’s confirmed there’s no problem, as his own Subordinate Soul, if he wants to take this power, he only needs to trade again.

The Subordinate Soul would never refuse.

Nor could they refuse.

They were, after all, Zhang Fusheng’s possessions.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Hu Zhongli little by little turned younger, though the magnitude was minor, one could still see his aging body radiating with vitality,

The third minute,

The old man opened his eyes, fifteen years of hard cultivation rolling in his mind, he looked reverently at the Celestial Venerate’s attendant, and made a great salute.

"In this world, there truly exists such power..."

Hu Zhongli muttered to himself, speaking as he saw that towering feeling vanish from the boy,

Replaced by a semi-transparent old man appearing beside the boy.

Zhou Muniu was first confused, then hurriedly leaped off the wooden table, bowing to the illusory elder:

"Greetings, True Man!"

He too had the memory just now.

Zhang Fusheng slightly nodded, as a Subordinate Soul constructed of Immortal Thoughts, it could exert an impact similar to a High Heaven Order,

That is, he could use the Subordinate Soul to extend his Divine Thought, transforming into the illusion of "Zhong Mountain".

Just this time, out of caution,

Zhang Fusheng was sitting upright on the meditation mat while doing this, and the thought carried a lofty Position—thus did the illusion appear.

"Though not enough to rank above the High Heaven, but congratulations, you are now a member of the High Heaven Association."

"Zhong Mountain" spoke calmly, gazing at the still unsurmounted Hu Zhongli in the incredible power.

He asked:

"When do you plan to break into the Innate Realm?"

Hu Zhongli came to his senses, feeling his own changes, and the unearned, yet clearly genuine fifteen years of experience,

He took a deep breath, murmuring:

"Just need a few more days to prepare, send a request to the Deity existing in the different dimension anchored within my Divine Realm."

"If I’m accepted, I can break the Spiritual Limit and attain the Innate Realm..."

Zhang Fusheng’s heart tightened.

What does this mean?

Breaking the Spiritual Limit, what does this have to do with the Deity in a different dimension??

Innate Realm, Innate Realm.....

In the evil cult, this realm is also called "Divine Favor Envoy", "Divine Favored".

Hu Zhongli returned to reality, reverently glanced at the illusory elder, puzzled:

"The world seems to have changed somehow."

Zhang Fusheng came to his senses, instinctively looked at the confused Zhou Muniu.

[Identity] can be traded, so naturally, [Power] can also be traded.

But Zhou Muniu,

How did he acquire [Power]?

Not only was he puzzled, Hu Zhongli was even more bewildered.

After obtaining the ’True Man’s consent,

Hu Zhongli picked up a bell on the wooden table, gently shook it, and the illusion of "Zhong Mountain" also gradually became transparent.

A few seconds later.

The mahogany door was slowly opened by two attendants, the butler walked in briskly.

He bowed his head to Hu Zhongli—"Master".

Then.

He looked at the boy with a third eye on his forehead with a contemptuous, indifferent attitude.

The butler spoke coolly:

"Legislator, the handover is complete, according to Federation law, you are now the new Golden Legislator, we will leave this building."

"Handover?" Hu Zhongli interrupted: "When did the handover begin?"

The butler was slightly stunned:

"Master, an hour ago..."

Whether it was Hu Zhongli, or Zhang Fusheng who was silently watching, both were caught off guard.

An hour ago,

Zhou Muniu had only just arrived outside the parliament building, hadn’t even had a chance to meet the butler.

Hu Zhongli’s throat moved, his voice involuntarily raised by three degrees:

"Bring the records.....all the records!"

"Yes, Master."

The butler hurried out and returned shortly.

Hu Zhongli went through the documents and materials, even called up the surveillance footage from within the building, the more he looked, the more startled he became.

"Alright, I understand, you can go out first."

The butler didn’t even glance at the newly appointed Golden Legislator by the Federation, performed a salute to his master, and quietly left.

The illusion of Zhong Mountain quietly appeared.

Hu Zhongli absentmindedly looked at this mysterious Celestial Venerate’s attendant, with visible reverence:

"The world.....has truly changed."

The illusion simply stood there calmly, as if used to such things, remained unmoved.

Zhang Fusheng’s heart was also in turmoil.

The world has truly changed.

hours ago, the Capital issued an ordinance, delivered to the Golden Province.

hour and 48 minutes ago, the eighth legislator of the Golden Province officially entered the handover process.

minutes ago, surveillance footage showed Zhou Muniu being respectfully invited into the building—this past event didn’t originally occur.

This appeared out of thin air.

And 5 minutes ago, the handover was completed, and the Governor’s congratulatory message had been delivered to the parliament building.

Hu Zhongli dumbly picked up a file, documenting the resume of the newly appointed Golden Legislator Zhou Muniu.

"This makes no sense..."

He muttered to himself.

The resume was almost entirely blank.

And a nonexistent investigation report on Zhou Muniu.

The report indicated that a few days ago, during a power struggle in the Federation’s capital, through a series of almost impossible coincidences,

this child, whose identity was not even on record, was actually appointed as the new legislator of the Golden Province!

Large drops of sweat trickled down Hu Zhongli’s forehead, murmuring:

"I was aware of this incident before."

"And now, the outcome of the incident hasn’t changed—except for this ridiculous appointment added on..."

He looked towards the illusory elder and the boy, with the deepest reverence and trembling, almost in a dream-like state:

"The world hasn’t changed..."

"It’s been altered, distorted...."

Zhong Mountain stood silently, his gaze sweeping over the thick stack of various documents.

A deep feeling of dread surged up within.

He wasn’t much better off than Hu Zhongli, also genuinely startled.

Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of minor events, all shifted slightly, negligibly,

These subtle shifts finally entangled and twisted into an irresistible momentum, finally erupting in an originally occurring power struggle event,

guiding that event to an additional result—a child with no identity becoming a legislator.

Cause and Effect? Timeline? History?

Likely all involved.

And the cause was merely a transaction, a trade allowing the Contract to cool just over two hundred days.

The Contract twisted the world for this.

Hu Zhongli took several deep breaths, finally calming his mind, stuttering somewhat:

"The envoy’s legislator position may not hold for long."

The illusory "Zhong Mountain" nodded lightly, speaking in a weightless tone:

"Naturally, my master merely twisted the past, not defining the future."

The Contract solely altered infinite causes, leading to a result where Zhou Muniu became a legislator.

But after becoming a legislator?

It returns to normal development.

An absurd, ludicrous struggle result will naturally be swiftly corrected by the Federation, but even one second of a legislator’s power, it is still power.

The results of a Contract trade will always make you ’obtain’, but only guarantees obtaining.

Zhang Fusheng suspects, even if he gave this power to a stray dog,

The stray dog would also, through bizarre, incredible coincidences, become a temporary Golden Legislator.

As for how long the power will last?

That’s not within the trade’s scope.

Nor does the Contract manage that.

What the hell is this Contract!!

Storm in the chest, face unchanged.

’Zhong Mountain’ spoke calmly:

"Power...my master doesn’t care."

"The Celestial Venerate merely follows balance, you having paid the price, everything ends here."

"The legislator identity will shortly return to you, but."

Zhang Fusheng gazes at Hu Zhongli:

"The envoy will be by your side, and you as a member of the High Heaven Association, if capable of earning the Celestial Venerate’s favor, will naturally have the opportunity to reach beyond High Heaven."

"To get a chance to truly meet the Celestial Venerate."

"The Celestial Venerate’s transformation of this world will begin from the Golden Province, bringing a Great Tide that will eventually sweep all."

"Until."

"The ailments of this world are cured."

"Deities remain deities, immortals remain immortals, and Buddha still remains Buddha—that glory from infinite ages past."

"Will return."

"Celestial Venerate above!" Both voices and shadow praised in unison.
