Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 726 - 413: Displaying the Future, Contracting with Qiongqi_3

At this moment, it was observing the rune itself, intricate as it was, but unfortunately, even with its vast knowledge, it could not discern the true function of the rune.

However, that did not matter, because what it truly cared about was whether the energy contained within the rune could destroy the entire Sea of Consciousness.

Qiongqi soon discovered with surprise that although the rune was complicated, the energy it contained was not significant.

Even if he was connected to the entire Sea of Consciousness, the limited energy would only cause limited damage if it detonated; by Qiongqi’s estimation, at most it could destroy one-tenth of the Sea of Consciousness.

In such a case, it would at most be severely wounded, but certainly not fatal.

Even if secret techniques were applied to suppress the injury, turning a severe one into a minor one was also not impossible.

"The contract you signed with me, is it really of this kind?" Qiongqi asked with some surprise.

"Yes, of course," Ye Feng nodded in affirmation.

As it turned out, the system’s Capture Ability did not have the power to kill directly after signing a contract.

But it could subtly influence the other party over time, which was akin to a type of brainwashing.

And as soon as the other party’s Loyalty reached 100%, the process would be considered complete.

By then, not only would they obey commands 100%, they wouldn’t even frown if ordered to commit suicide, and they would sincerely consider his best interests, which was more terrifying than any contract.

However, Ye Feng believed in the system’s abilities, Qiongqi should not be able to discern anything.

Moreover, Ling’s Loyalty to him was only 68% so far, not yet at the level of full control, making it even less possible for Qiongqi to figure anything out.

After observing for 10 minutes, Qiongqi finally nodded and declared, "Fine, I am willing to sign a contract and serve under you."

Hearing this answer, Ye Feng finally revealed a smile.

"Good. Open up your Sea of Consciousness," Ye Feng said as he stretched out a root towards Qiongqi’s forehead.

Since Qiongqi had made up its mind, it didn’t dilly-dally and let Ye Feng’s root touch the center of its forehead, simultaneously opening its Sea of Consciousness.

Of course, it did not truly relax; in fact, it still maintained the power for one strike, even in such a state.

The reason for this precaution was the fear that Ye Feng might switch to a different type of contract at the last moment.

If that were the case, it would not hesitate to Ignite Divine Fire and perish together with its adversary.

Ye Feng paid no mind to what Qiongqi was thinking; as soon as his root made contact with the other’s forehead, he immediately activated the system’s Capture Ability.

In fact, Ye Feng was currently only Eighth Order, while Qiongqi was Ninth Order, and its essence was of the Tenth Order.

If Qiongqi did not cooperate, it would be impossible for him to forcibly succeed in the contract.

However, Qiongqi was very cooperative, indeed. Typically, creatures would involuntarily resist during the contracting process.

But Qiongqi managed to firmly suppress the tumult within its Sea of Consciousness.

Even so, the entire contracting process still took 10 minutes to complete.

When the system pinged with a notification of successful contract, the huge weight in Ye Feng’s heart finally settled down, and a rare look of excitement crossed his face.
