I make a contract with myself

The abyss is forever desolate.

The powerful beings inside are unaware of the passage of time.

It's also possible that they felt it wasn't necessary.

Until, after many years, an "old man" once again appeared in the abyss.

Chu Yi jumped in in her 100-meter mecha without causing much of a commotion, but she couldn't hide it from the powerful figures.

Those who were interested gathered around to take a look, and their first reaction was: What is this thing?

Upon closer inspection: Why are there a few more people crawling out from inside?

Upon closer inspection: Isn't that so-and-so?!

Sun Yan smiled and waved to them, saying, "Hello everyone, it's been a long time."

"You, you are...you are Sun Yan!"

The spirits looked shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.

They hadn't forgotten that it was this very man who, in what should have been a prison, opened a door to freedom, taking away the Primordial Immortal Spirit Calamity and Zhu, as well as Zhang Xing, the elder of the Alien God Sect.

Now, he's back!

Freedom is beckoning to you!

As a result, Sun Yan became a distinguished guest.

Those strong individuals who yearn for freedom and wish to escape the abyss can only rely on him.

There's no need to pander; while freedom is important, dignity must not be lost.

Sun Yan did not put on airs. After the powerful figures gathered, he said, "The Ancient Spirit World is currently in a turbulent period, with frequent attacks from beyond the heavens. I need your strength."

Old Demon Qi frowned: "From beyond the heavens? What do you mean?"

Sun Yan smiled slightly, took out the new version of the Returning Messenger that he had prepared beforehand, and showed them the crisis facing the Ancient Spirit World without reservation.

After Sun Yan narrowly escaped the abyss, passed through the Jinghong Continent, and returned to the Ancient Spirit World, he went to Wanlong Valley and befriended the dragons.

Arrive in Divine Sword City, enter the Sword Dao Secret Realm, and become the Sword King.

They entered the ancestral land of the Daoist court, and engaged in burning, killing, looting, and plundering.

Finally arriving at the Feathered Heaven Realm, amidst the phoenix and parasol tree, the phoenix undergoes its rebirth.

In the ocean, the beginning is the glittering of stars, the middle is the island of the dead, and the end is the calamity of the sea creatures.

After the arrival of extraterrestrial invaders, the world descended into chaos.

On the arena of life and death, all grudges are settled.

In the plant realm, with the help of the ancient tree of life, the mechanical race was born.

Many years later, war breaks out at the starry pass in the outer sky, and cultivators are recruited.

Even now, Sun Yan has fallen into the abyss once again.

The new version of the Returning Faith Instrument was developed by Chu Yi. It has many functions and is connected to Chu Yi's spirit. The video was naturally edited by Chu Yi, and the content is unbiased and contains no guiding elements.

Dealing with these old foxes is pointless; scheming and trickery are useless and might even get you scammed. It's better to be straightforward and simple.

The video is playing in a loop.

However, after reading it, all the powerful figures remained silent.

So this is what the outside world has become...

Why does it feel like the outside world is so dangerous, not much safer than the abyss?

Here, unless one is a legend who surpasses everything, even a half-step legend will be at the ninth rank and ninth level upon entering, and no one can do anything to anyone else.

However, danger as it may be, the outside world is still more attractive.

Especially the Primordial Immortal Spirit, Wen.

He didn't leave before because he wanted some peace and quiet, and besides, the culture of the ancient spirit world was limited and not worth going out for.

But now, the alien culture brought from beyond the heavens is a completely different story.

It may not be the most interesting, but it's definitely novel.

"I want to go out."

The text was written in a flat tone, not at all like a request.

However, Sun Yan didn't care. After all, Sister Wen was the only warm white moonlight back then, and she had special privileges.

As for the other powerful individuals, there are definitely conditions for them to leave.

"Just say it, don't beat around the bush."

"Let's make this clear beforehand: no talk of an elf contract. We already made that choice back then."

"Disaster and Punishment, what do you usually do?"

Disaster and Punishment looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then blurted out: "Eating, drinking, and having fun."

All the powerful figures: "..."

Zhu seemed to think that this was inappropriate, so he added, "They fight occasionally, very occasionally."

Seeing that the two spirits did not seem to be lying, the powerful figures began to waver.

Being Sun Yan's elf isn't so bad, huh...

"Hey, I have so many elves, I don't need one or two of you," Sun Yan said irritably.

"It's been years, you've grown wings and look down on us now, haven't you?" The Cat Demon King licked his paws, displeased.

"Don't misunderstand, I want the power to give back, but you are too strong and can't provide much," Sun Yan explained.

"You're starting to complain now."

"No, there really isn't..."

Sun Yan sighed and changed the subject, saying, "However, I came behind the backs of those leaders. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but now is a turbulent time. If we want to leave, we must agree on three rules."

The powerful figures became interested: "Tell me about it."

"First, guarding the pass for a hundred years."

"Second, we can seek revenge, but we can't kill anyone. Just beat them up to vent our anger, we're short-handed."

"Third, the Extermination Council will send the Origin Poison into your bodies. Anyone who disobeys this order will have the Origin Poison detonated and be annihilated."

In summary, all Sun Yan wanted was to guard the pass for a hundred years.

The other two are merely to ensure the first one, nothing more.

It can be said that it is full of sincerity.

A hundred years is but a fleeting moment; what does it amount to?

The primordial poison is not a problem. As long as they stay obediently for a hundred years, Sun Yan has no reason, nor would he dare to, do anything to them.

"Those who want to leave, please register. First come, first served."

Sun Yan shouted, then turned his head and said, "Chu Yi, do the statistics."

To what extent is it necessary to achieve this?

"Know them inside and out".

"clear."

Chu Yi went off to do something busy.

There's no need to deliberately maintain order; everyone here is a respected and powerful person, and no one would be so undignified as to cut in line.

And you two?

Sun Yan looked at Qi Laomo and Xiao Zhangmen in a neutral tone, as if he were dealing with a business matter.

The two exchanged a glance: "You're really that kind?"

Sun Yan shrugged: "As you just saw, Cui Sisi and I have a pretty good relationship. The Juexian Sect has declined and is nothing to fear."

"No matter how strong you two are, can you be stronger than Fan Wuji?"

The implication is that Sun Yan is no longer afraid of Fan Wuji, or at least he won't be beaten up.

If we go all out, the outcome is still uncertain.

Fan Wuji is neither a dragon nor a phoenix, and he does not have absolute dominance over the human race because he is the strongest among the human race, but not invincible.

"Why?" The two of them really didn't understand.

It's important to understand that the two sides have a deep-seated hatred that is essentially irreconcilable.

“We are short-handed, and I don’t want to end up like the Misty Immortal Sect, fleeing to the heavens. If I’m lucky, I’ll live under someone else’s roof; if I’m unlucky, I’ll die. The happy life I have now is something I worked very hard to achieve,” Sun Yan said frankly.

His love for the ancient world wasn't that profound.

What Sun Yan loves are the familiar people and things, and the bricks and tiles he has built.

Therefore, fighting for the Ancient Spirit World and risking one's life is impossible, but within one's capabilities, increasing one's chances of winning is just a small favor.

My little emotions are nothing compared to the happiness I'll have in the rest of my life.

"Whether you leave or stay is your own decision; I will not force you."
