The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1085: Divine Soul Contract

When Fang Qiu and others from the Black Water Tribe arrived, Jing Yan initially thought these people were here to start a war because their leader had been killed.

However, after scanning this group with his Divine Thought, Jing Yan felt puzzled. At this moment, Fang Qiu, the leading elder of the Black Water Tribe, respectfully explained their purpose for coming.

After hearing Fang Qiu’s words, Jing Yan couldn’t help but be a bit dazed.

Jing Yan indeed did not expect that before he even went to the Black Water Tribe to take action, these high-level members of the tribe would voluntarily surrender to him.

For him, this seemed to be a good thing.

Jing Yan had been to the Black Water Tribe and investigated the internal and external formations layered in the tribe. Among them were big arrays with extremely powerful force. Even without a True God Warrior stationed there, as long as the formations operated at full power, it would take a considerable amount of time for Jing Yan to break through, although he could do it with his cultivation.

Now that this group of people had voluntarily switched allegiance, it undoubtedly saved Jing Yan a lot of effort.

Seeing Jing Yan show a contemplative and hesitant expression, Fang Qiu and the others were delighted in their hearts. They noticed that Jing Yan was interested.

Before they came, they were very apprehensive because they had no assurance that Jing Yan would agree to their surrender. If Jing Yan refused, it would definitely lead to a fight. And without the tribe’s formations to assist, even though there were quite a few Nine-star Void Gods among them, they were definitely not enough to cope with Jing Yan, and they might not hold out for long.

Now seeing Jing Yan’s interest, they were, of course, joyful inside.

"Lord Chief, how should these sinners be dealt with? Please, make a decision." Fang Qiu pointed to the martial artists like Chang Yan who had been brought over and carefully asked.

"Since they are sinners, just kill them all!" Jing Yan looked at Chang Yan and the others with an expressionless face.

Fang Qiu had already clearly stated that these people were martial artists who had recently slaughtered members of the Heavenly Origin Tribe at this ore vein. From beginning to end, Jing Yan had no intention of letting them go.

Moreover, in this wilderness, if you show a weak side, then you will undoubtedly face a pack of hungry wolves. To establish yourself here, you must let others understand that you are not to be trifled with. If they provoke you, they will die.

"Lord Jing Yan! Lord Jing Yan, please spare my life... I can serve you!" Chang Yan, pale, cried out loudly for mercy.

Jing Yan sneered and did not respond.

"What are you waiting for? Do it, all these people deserve to die!" Seeing Jing Yan ignore Chang Yan, Fang Qiu immediately understood Jing Yan’s intention and said to the people who came to surrender with him.

The crowd responded with a shout and decisively took action, slaughtering them. Within a few breaths, over a hundred martial artists like Chang Yan were completely killed, their divine souls annihilated.

"From today onwards, the Black Water Tribe no longer exists!" Jing Yan’s gaze swept over Fang Qiu and the others, "From now on, you are members of the Heavenly Origin Tribe."

The reason Jing Yan accepted Fang Qiu and the others’ surrender was also for another important reason. The strength of the Heavenly Origin Tribe was too weak.

Now the news about this ore vein had already spread in the wilderness, and countless forces were eyeing this ore vein covetously. While he was here, that would be enough to deter the pack of wolves, but he couldn’t stay here permanently.

And relying on Xing Kong, Wang Chunlin, and the others, even with the protective array he personally set up, they couldn’t guarantee that nothing would go wrong. In short, apart from him, the Heavenly Origin Tribe only had two Seven-star Void Gods, which was indeed rather meager in strength. If they could absorb this group of people led by Fang Qiu, the overall strength of the Heavenly Origin Tribe would be drastically transformed.

"We are willing to serve, Lord Chief." Fang Qiu and his group bowed in unison. freēnovelkiss.com

Jing Yan waved his hand and then said, "Fang Qiu, you were previously an elder of the original Black Water Tribe. Now that you’ve joined the Heavenly Origin Tribe, you will take the position of Vice Chief."

"Ah?" Fang Qiu was stunned and raised his eyes to look at Jing Yan.

He doubted if he had heard it right.

Jing Yan was letting him take the position of Vice Chief of the Heavenly Origin Tribe? This was absolutely a great benefit that Fang Qiu had not anticipated.

"You don’t want it?" Jing Yan frowned.

"No! No! I am willing!" Fang Qiu quickly expressed his willingness loudly.

A huge surprise filled his heart, and Fang Qiu’s face flushed red. At the same time, he became more convinced that his decision to surrender was a very wise choice.

By surrendering to Jing Yan, not only did he save his life, but he also became the Vice Chief of the tribe, which was even higher than his previous position in the Black Water Tribe. In the Black Water Tribe, although he was a top-ranking elder, there was still leader Xiao Tian, think tank Chang Yan, and several elders of equal rank above him.

Jing Yan was relatively satisfied with Fang Qiu’s reaction. However, as for Fang Qiu, Jing Yan couldn’t trust him for no reason. It wasn’t just Fang Qiu; Jing Yan didn’t trust any of these original Black Water Tribe members in front of him.

If he returned to the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, who could guarantee that Fang Qiu and others would remain loyal in their work? What if they turned traitor, massacred at the ore vein, and then fled with a large number of divine crystals produced by the ore vein—where would Jing Yan go to seek revenge?

Therefore, Jing Yan took out a Contract Stone, intending for Fang Qiu and the others to sign a Divine Soul Contract.

As long as this contract exists, even if Fang Qiu and others flee to other Divine Domains, Jing Yan can annihilate them with a single thought.

Contract Stones are not rare in the God Realm. All those slaves have once offered a Divine Soul Contract.

Seeing Jing Yan take out the Contract Stone, Fang Qiu and the others instantly understood Jing Yan’s intention. Their expressions changed slightly, but they didn’t have any major reaction. Before coming, they had anticipated that Jing Yan might force them to sign a Divine Soul Contract. With mental preparation, although they were somewhat resistant in their hearts, it wasn’t unacceptable.

"Are you willing to establish a Divine Soul Contract with me?" Jing Yan asked Fang Qiu and the others, holding the Contract Stone.

Fang Qiu took the lead in nodding.

While establishing a Divine Soul Contract was equivalent to wearing a tight curse, it wasn’t entirely a bad thing. With this contract, Jing Yan would be relatively more trusting of them. As long as they didn’t betray, Jing Yan shouldn’t have any reason to wish them dead. Besides, if Jing Yan wanted to kill them, he could do it directly now without needing to go through all this trouble.

Jing Yan didn’t require all the original Black Wind Tribe members to sign a Divine Soul Contract; only those Nine-star Void Gods were needed to establish the contract with him. Once these Nine-star Void Gods were controlled, the various members below wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble.

Establishing a Divine Soul Contract wasn’t complicated. It was gradually completed after a short period. Fang Qiu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and to some extent, they were now truly safe. To Jing Yan, they were, at least, considered a good help, and this chief Jing Yan would certainly not take their lives for no reason.
