[Silence]

A Mu Yingdou, clad in light blue armor, stood in the Void, looking at the man in the tide of Undead and the collapsing Lord of the Undead beside him.

"Oh," he tilted his head, a hint of mockery in his voice, "His Godhead has been stolen. This is a minotaur in disguise."

I casually made a joke, then glanced at my Civilization Points; I still had nearly half left.

A Mu Yingdou immediately took out various enhancement items, activating them one by one. They exploded in the Void, turning into various colored lights that merged into his body. The items were activated, and he had already taken the potions, one bottle after another.

The other party is not someone to be trifled with.

He's definitely not someone to be trifled with!

Although in this level of battlefield, the strength of the Survivors is not strongly correlated with the strength of the civilization.

Do you think that when other civilizations perished, the Survivors of those civilizations didn't want to intervene and save them?

The system's [Severe Punishment] vary across different Survival Worlds, but they are all very severe, and may even kick a top-ranked player out of the top spot.

Those Survivors were simply afraid of being wiped out because they couldn't defeat the high-powered units of some civilizations.

"But above the Tracing Light... you are different. [Silent] I've already said it, you are the greatest threat."

A Mu Yingdou's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at the man gathering power in the tide of the Undead, recalling his conversation with [Kan] not long ago.

"Go and intercept [the Scholar]."

A Mu Yingdou's Consciousness Entity stood Jingjing on his blood-red planet, somewhat puzzled. He had been standing atop the Demon Prince's palace, looking down at the blood-soaked planet.

"[Scholar]?" He frowned. "Which one?"

On the other side, [Keep Silent], who had moved the Civilization Development Site to the side of the Crimson Planet, and thus allowed his Consciousness Entity to descend upon it, felt that A Mu Yingdou was being a bit too offensive.

"The Survivors corresponding to the Suguang Civilization."

"Oh~" A Mu Yingdou drawled, his tone languid, "I can't beat them. Their strange god, even my Demon Prince can't defeat Him."

"With your Talent, sacrificing your Demon Prince, you can win."

A Mu Yingdou's brow furrowed. "You knew all along?"

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. "You're free to know about my Talents... I just don't like you time-based Survivors. No matter which Survival World you're from, you have no secrets, and you're always talking nonsense."

The Abyssal Depth Civilization is the leader among all the destructive civilizations in the entire galaxy because it is the strongest.

But the one who organizes and manages this alliance is [Jian], Survivor with a time-based Talent.

"If no changes are made, after the Great Expedition of Light ends, the existence of any destruction-based civilization will not be tolerated," [Silent] said with his eyes closed, his voice as calm as if reciting a pre-written script. "We will even wipe out all non-human civilizations when the war ends."

"Just because of Humanity Above All? My Abyssal Depth Civilization also has humans; at worst, we can just have another race take power."

How could you be so spineless?

[Jian]'s tone became more aggressive, but his expression remained unchanged, as if this kind of conversation had happened many times before.

"There's no other way." A Mu Yingdou spread his hands. "Your method has a fatal flaw—my Talent energy doesn't come from nothing. I won't be at my peak condition by then."

He had previously used this Talent with his own energy source. But the armor that the Demon Prince transformed into was more powerful than all the armor he had ever used in the past combined.

Portable power sources are merely a drop in the ocean.

After all, it's a leapfrog development where combat power jumps directly from the ordinary Gold Badge to the potentially Seven-Colored standard, so there are naturally many difficulties.

"You still don't trust me enough. If I ask you to do something, I can definitely do it." [Keep silent] Still very calm.

He paused, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"When you released the Demon Prince's embryo, I had already laid the groundwork..."

A Mu Yingdou listened to [Jian's] story, a chill ran down his spine.

Even his strongest weapon has been compromised, so what gives him the confidence to face [Silence]?

He didn't know when [Jian] had done it, how he had done it, or even why he had done it.

After saying this, [Jin] looked at him for a while and then said:

"I know what you're thinking, but you need to understand, I can't beat you, and my civilization can't beat yours."

"On this battlefield, strength is not absolute." A Mu Yingdou said meaningfully.

"We signed Contract, it was the Contract you gave us," [Keep Silent] replied.

A Mu Yingdou paused for a moment.

There is a Contract, and it was indeed given to me by him.

[Annihilation Contract]

[Contract Effectiveness Prerequisite: This Contract is based on ### and imprinted deep within the souls of both parties. Once established, it takes effect immediately, without any loopholes or loopholes. Violation will trigger ten instances of soul Annihilation punishment, applicable to All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds.]

[1. Obligation of Good Faith: The signatory [Keep Silent] is prohibited from deceiving the signatory [A Mu Yingdou] in any way.]

[2. Death Prohibition: The signatory [Keep Silent] shall not pose any threat to the life of the signatory [A Mu Yingdou]]

[...]

[5. Obligation of Obedience: Based on the signatory's [Jian] fulfillment of all the above terms, the signatory [A Mu Yingdou] shall comply with all of [Jian's] legitimate and reasonable requests.]

[...]

[Contract duration: four days]

A Mu Yingdou trusted the Contract itself, given its ridiculously high level of execution. At the current level of strength, the Annihilation of the soul meant certain death, even for something as immortal as Mu Ri, a symbol of faith.

Upon hearing this, A Mu Yingdou slightly suppressed his urge to breathe on the ground, but still said:

"Hmph, how do I know you won't use montage or something to mess with me? You're being all mysterious, saying things like talking about the Future and how reckless talk about it will cause great terror, and that the Contract isn't very binding on you! I want to hear a promise!"

[Keep silent] He remained silent for a moment.

Those eyes looked at A Mu Yingdou as if they could see through time, glimpsing a distant Future that only he could see.

"I will make you the number one civilization in this Continued Battle," he said softly. "Do as I say. I need your strength."

"And after this battle, you won't need to contribute anymore, and you won't need to spend Civilization Points. Leave everything to me."

"In that case, let the Scholar die by my hand."

"You can't kill him; he has many tricks up his sleeve."

A Mu Yingdou raised an eyebrow. "So, can you kill him? Did you plan this in advance?"

After a long silence, [Jin] slowly spoke, "I... can kill him."

"Then let him die."

"The consequence is that we will all die."

"... Then what are you talking about?"
