"How is it? Are you convinced?"
Lin Bei asked with a smile.
"I'm convinced!"
Wang You kowtowed and apologized. His tone was sincere. "Your subordinate, Wang You, greets Master!"
Seeing this, Lin Bei smiled in satisfaction. He condensed a soul contract and handed it to Wang You.
"Alright, sign it."
"This is a soul contract? Not a heaven and earth contract?"
Wang You looked at the contract in his hand in a daze.
Under normal circumstances, there were two ways to sign an oath. One was to sign a Heaven Earth Contract and be bound by the will of Heaven and Earth. This was also the first choice for ordinary people.
As for the soul contract, it was an ancient method that very few people used. This was because it required a trace of the soul power of the owner and servant. Although it was not much, if too many people signed the contract, it would still affect the owner of the oath.
Moreover, in the opinion of most people, the restriction of soul power was far inferior to the restriction of heaven and earth. In addition, the heavenly and earth oath did not affect both parties, so everyone was willing to choose the heavenly oath.
Of course, this was for others. Lin Bei did not care about these small consumptions at all.
His soul was extremely powerful.
Coupled with the divine rune of the word "soul", he could recover his Spiritual Strength at any time. He did not even need to care about his original soul.
Moreover, he had the Unlimited Buff talent and could recover at any time, so there was no need to worry.
As for the Heaven and Earth Contract…
To be honest, he did not believe in heaven and earth.
The Will of Heaven and Earth sounded quite mysterious. What if it was a trap?
He was still used to controlling his strength in his hands. As for borrowing the power of heaven and earth, although it was very easy to obtain a Strength Enhancement, what if the heavens didn't lend him strength?
Wouldn't he be scammed to death?
Therefore, Lin Bei had been using the soul contract. This way, he felt more at ease.
"You know your stuff."
Lin Bei smiled and said, "Don't worry, just use this."
"Understood!"
Wang You lowered his head and replied. Then, without any hesitation, he signed the soul contract.
As a trace of his origin soul was stripped away, a hint of clarity appeared in Wang You's eyes.
He seemed to have… escaped the influence of the Will of Heaven and Earth.
However… he could still borrow the power of heaven and earth!
"Well…"
Wang You's heart was filled with shock.
He looked at Lin Bei and kowtowed again. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"
Now, as he recalled his experiences in the past tens of thousands of eras, he suddenly realized that as his realm increased and the power of heaven and earth he borrowed increased, his soul seemed to be disturbed by a mysterious power.
As time passed, the interference gradually increased, so much so that for a long time, he was in a daze.
Of course, such a change was subtle and he could not sense it at all. If he had not signed the soul contract and completely isolated that mysterious power, he would probably still be trapped.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Seeing this, Lin Bei was slightly stunned.
However, he sensed it slightly through the function of the Soul Contract and came to a realization.
"As expected, there's something wrong with the Will of Heaven and Earth. Fortunately, I was cautious enough and guarded against it from the beginning. Otherwise… the consequences would be unimaginable."
When Lin Bei thought of himself, he felt a lingering fear.
He suddenly thought of the Fear Puppet and could not help but sigh in his heart. This method… was really too similar.
However, the Power of Fear was more obvious, and the power of heaven and earth… seemed to be softer and subtly influential.
Fortunately, he had never come into contact with the so-called power of heaven and earth. In addition, he had directly opened his meridians to temper his body and surpassed the cultivation of the Heaven Splitting Realm. Otherwise, he would probably have been affected by it if he had cultivated properly.
"Heaven Splitting Realm…"
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes in thought.
He had a feeling that there was… a conspiracy.
"Forget it. It has nothing to do with me anyway. I just need to refine my Qi."
Lin Bei shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Whether it was the Power of Fear or the power of heaven and earth, as long as it did not hinder him, it was nothing.
However, if he was hindered, he would not be a pushover.
"I didn't expect the cultivation of the Heaven Splitting Realm and the Saint Realm to be so strange. It's not simple."
Lin Bei sighed and smiled. "Heh, my Qi Refinement and Meridian Opening cultivation method is still better. At the very least… the increase in strength is all by myself. It's just that the consumption of resources during the cultivation process is relatively high."
"However, I have the Unlimited Buff, the Shadow of Harmony, and the supply of the Gate of Fear. There's no problem for the time being."
"But with the expansion of my personal guards… I'm afraid the problem of resources will be troublesome in the future."
Lin Bei frowned and was a little worried.
After all, the energy provided by the Gate of Fear was all high-level goods. It could be directly transformed into various ancient martial arts powers through the Shadow of Harmony. The efficiency was extremely high.
However… who could guarantee that the Gate of Fear could continuously provide energy?
What if it suddenly disappeared one day?
Lin Bei frowned.
"No, when my strength increases, I have to personally enter the Gate of Fear. Since it can continuously transmit the Power of Fear, it means that there must be more resources inside. If I can take them all for myself… at least I won't have to worry about resources for a long time."
"Hmm… Sustainable development is also very important. Forget it, I'll think of a way in the future. The most important thing now is to increase my strength as soon as possible. When I'm strong enough, I'll enter the Gate of Fear to investigate."
