Six days have passed.
In the center of the Moon Secret Realm's ninth layer was a magnificent cathedral, which was now encased in a corporeal barrier. Around it was a terrifying army of demonic beasts, and the top hundred cultivators of Cultivation Tower Ranking were gathered together behind the corporeal barrier.
Delma's team was reporting their vague encounter with the Heretic to others, which made them disbelieve and grave.
They never thought the heretic would pose such a threat, and the legendary creature has yet to co into the picture.
"Lord Envoy, this situation is far graver than we anticipated." Ossian among the devils uttered as his four eyes shimred grimly.
"What? Are you losing confidence? Don't tell even hundreds of you won't be able to deal with that brat?" The God Envoy's unhappy voice sounded.
Ossian hesitantly stated with a peculiar glint in his eyes, "No, it's just that these preparations might not be enough since we mostly prepared them for the legendary creature. If I can break into Law Awareness Realm…"
"Didn't I already say, if you do that, you'll be thrown out from the secret realm? Besides, you don't have a talent for reaching that realm, at least not anyti soon." The God Envoy coldly stated.
Ossian's expression turned ugly, but he didn't dare to retort since he knew himself the best. He was just trying to see if he could use this chance to beco a Law Awareness Realm with the God Envoy's help.
But it was still impossible, and even if the God Envoy had a way, why would he risk doing it since he would lose a helper?
The Moon Secret Realm's rules can't be changed, and even the God Envoy can only do so much. This realm wasn't ant to be a law awareness realm, and it was just a training ground for the Chosen One.
Only the Chosen One can bypass those limitations with no exception whatsoever.
Before soone else could say anything, the God Envoy's gloomy yet furious voice rang, "He's here!"
---
"What a magnificent scene," Ace muttered in derision as he stood on top of the flying sword and observed the huge army before looking in the direction of the cathedral.
'There are nine quasi-law awareness realm demonic beasts among their ranks. But the real problem is those hundred Quasi-Law Awareness Realm outsiders and that space-sealing barrier around the cathedral.
'They clearly want to render my teleportation ability useless and deal with once and for all.' His lip rose slightly in mockery, 'But if they think I will stay and fight them like so hero, then they're thoroughly mistaken…'
At this mont, he said, "I know you're here, so co out. I want to have a chat."
"O' sacrilegious mortal! If you're seeking rcy, then it's too late!"
Ace's expression didn't change as he coolly said, "Is it? How about this: let take the trial, and I'll sign a soul contract with you, and you can decide the terms as long as they are not too excessive.
"You see, I got so ti to mull it over, and as you said, a mortal like shouldn't go against the will of God. Furthermore, you didn't give much chance to show my sincerity, so I have to prove my worth.
"We know I have a bright future ahead of , and I can be the Chosen One who hadn't appeared since forever. So how about we let bygones be bygones?"
Ace's 'sincere' words caused God Envoy to fall into astonishing silence. It was just as he stated, before Ace didn't have the credibility to negotiate, and the God Envoy wanted to get rid of him because of what he did.
However, now that he was standing right in front of his front door and he was too unpredictable, his words carried heavy weight behind them.
'Just take the bait…' Ace thought deviously while he patiently waited for the God Envoy's reply.
Ace knew he only had two options; fight and prevail or fight and die. But there was also a third option; submit on the right opportunity.
Now was the exact opportunity because he had already proved that he was not going to go down easily and might even co out winning.
So, this option was even more enticing for the God Envoy to make Ace its pawn or the Sun and Moon God's pawn, to be exact, and his loyalty would be unquestionable.
But the truth was far from it. Ace is a thief, and deceitfulness is his biggest trait, and he'll use it before he uses his fighting abilities.
At this mont, the God Envoy's voice rang, "So that's your play, huh? Alright, your words have indeed credibility. But with an additional soul contract, you have to let put a Sun and Moon Soul Seal in your true soul as well. Only then I'll let you go free!"
"It's too risky. I know a soul seal is just another na for Soul Brand. I'll fully lose my freedom, or you might even go back on your words. But I cherish my life more, and I want to achieve sothing no one ever has.
"So, I'll agree to soul seal as well, but first, we'll sign a soul contract, and then you'll let into the trial. Once the trial starts, you are free to plant a soul seal. You can write it in the soul contract as well. These terms are very fair, and they are also my bottom line. If you still do not want to, then let's go to war." Ace coldly stated, but inwardly, he was very content with God Envoy's response.
If he weren't worried about the God Envoy using the soul brand to make him stop taking the trial, then his ability would be exposed, so getting within the trial was absolutely necessary if he wanted to achieve the effect he wanted.
"Do you think I would deceive a mortal like you?"
"Exactly." Ace nodded without hesitation.
"Hmph!" The God Envoy snorted with vexation, "Alright, but one of the terms in the soul contract would be that you can't use your pet until you are branded with a soul seal!"
Ace showed a frown as he seed extrely reluctant before he nodded, "Alright, it's a deal. Do you have a soul contract, or should I take out one?"
"Hmph, do you think I'm an idiot? Wait here. Soone will approach you shortly with a soul contract!"
Ace thought jeeringly, 'Exactly, you are indeed an idiot!'
