Signing a Contract with Qian Renxue

That day, Lin Yu comforted Qian Renxue for a long time. The former Angel God was no different from an ordinary weak and helpless girl at that moment.

It was not until evening that Qian Renxue emerged from the gloom and wiped away her tears. She gave Lin Yu a sincere look of gratitude. "Thank you. I'm feeling much better now."

Lin Yu nodded. "It's good that you're all right. We can discuss the serious matters now."

The moment serious matters were mentioned, Qian Renxue perked up. Her crystalline eyes shone brightly as she said with a face full of hope, "The last prophecy you left on the paper was that I would lose the divine battle. That has now come true. But it also said that I would reclaim everything I lost. How will that come to pass?"

"Qian Renxue, it's very simple," Lin Yu said. "If I told you that I possess the ability to travel through time and space, would you believe me?"

Qian Renxue froze, then gradually revealed a look of astonishment. It was the same kind of incredulity she had shown when she heard in the dungeon that Lin Yu could foresee the future.

She had already reached Level 100 and become the Rank 1 Deity Angel God, so she knew quite a few secrets of the God Realm.

Whether it was foreseeing the future or traveling through time and space, both abilities were unbelievably heaven-defying.

Among the deities, only the two mysterious deities of time and space possessed such abilities.

Could Lin Yu be connected to them?

Qian Renxue could not help asking, "Lin Yu, were you once a deity as well?"

Qian Renxue had not sensed even the slightest divine power from Lin Yu. But if he had once ascended and then fallen, it would explain everything.

A fallen deity would no longer possess divine power, but could still retain the ability to manipulate time or space.

Lin Yu shook his head. "I'm not. This is an ability of my martial soul."

He extended his hand, revealing the Starry Express, and then infused it with Soul Power.

The Starry Express immediately began shining all over, entering its jump-charging state.

At that moment, Qian Renxue immediately sensed the power of time and space entwined around it.

She exclaimed in amazement, "You really do possess the ability to travel through time and space."

She then came up with an unbelievable idea. "Since you can travel through time and space, that means you can return to the past."

People's regrets often came from being unable to change the past.

Just like how Qian Renxue had cried so bitterly because all her loved ones had died, never to be seen again.

But if she could travel back to the past, then all of that could be salvaged.

Lin Yu confirmed Qian Renxue's idea. "Exactly. When I said just now that I could undo all of this, it was because I can take you back to the past and change everything."

Qian Renxue's eyes immediately lit up, filled with unconcealed joy.

She no longer knew what to say. Her face was full of delight as she merely stared at Lin Yu, as though she had seen some priceless treasure.

"But taking you through time and space back to the past won't be that easy," Lin Yu said.

Since this involved something as significant as traveling through time and space, Qian Renxue also became cautious. She asked seriously, "Does every journey through time and space require me to sacrifice my life force, with too many journeys carrying the risk of death?"

"Or are there temporal paradoxes? If you travel recklessly, will you violate the laws of time and space and be rejected by them?"

"Or perhaps I would exist simultaneously with another version of myself, and if we met, would that cause some other problem?"

Lin Yu had not expected Qian Renxue's imagination to be so rich. When it came to matters of time and space, she had thought of even more than he, a transmigrator, had.

In the end, he shook his head. "No. You simply need to sign a contract. Then my martial soul, the Starry Express, will recognize you as one of its own and take you back to the past."

"As for the problems you mentioned, I haven't encountered any of them so far. Every time I travel back, I do it violently and never consider such things."

Qian Renxue was utterly astonished. From Lin Yu's words, she had not heard of any restrictions at all.

A golden sheet of paper had already appeared in Lin Yu's hand. He passed it to Qian Renxue. "Take a look. This is the contract."

Qian Renxue accepted the golden sheet. After reading its contents, she revealed a strange expression.

The contract had been drafted by the Starry Express, and Lin Yu did not know what it contained, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem," Qian Renxue said. "The contract only requires me to separate out a tiny bit of my power. After that, your martial soul will recognize me as a companion, allowing me to board it and travel through time and space."

"It's just that this is far too simple."

It turned out that the strange look on Qian Renxue's face was because the price she had to pay according to the contract was merely a tiny bit of power.

That tiny bit of power was simply too insignificant.

Compared with the ability to travel back to the past,

the two were fundamentally unequal in value.

This was completely different from what Qian Renxue had initially imagined: paying a tremendous price.

"Actually, I can't dictate the contents of the contract," Lin Yu said. "My martial soul drafted it on its own. But since you won't suffer any loss, it's a good thing. Why not do it?"

That's true, Qian Renxue thought. This benefit has fallen into my lap, so why make things complicated?

She did not hesitate for long before signing her name on the contract.

Very soon, Qian Renxue felt a tiny bit of her power flow into the contract.

Lin Yu sensed it as well. It felt as though something closely connected had appeared within him.

He extended his hand, and a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul radiating brilliant golden light immediately appeared.

Like the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was also one of the top martial souls of the present age. Its appearance immediately elicited a resonance from the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul, which emerged on its own.

The two top martial souls stood in a balanced formation while also complementing each other.

Lin Yu immediately felt the enhancement brought by the two top martial souls. He sat down cross-legged and began cultivating his Soul Power.

His Soul Power began breaking through one level after another. Rising from Level 16 to Level 20 was completed in a single smooth motion.

But that was not all. Lin Yu also felt that his Soul Power still had room to spare. Once he added a soul ring, his Soul Power could rise to at least Level 25.

"A former Level-100 God who shattered her divine position can raise my Soul Power this much by separating out only a tiny bit of power. Sure enough, my initial plan was right: the stronger the companion contract, the better."

After Qian Renxue separated out her power and became part of Lin Yu's martial soul, she also established a faint connection with him.

But at that moment, Lin Yu opened his eyes and suddenly extended his hand, releasing the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul and freezing the golden sheet of paper on which the Starry Express contract had been completed.

As he crushed it with his hand, the contract immediately shattered into nothingness.

In an instant, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Lin Yu had obtained disappeared, and the Soul Power that had surged also vanished like the moon reflected in water or flowers seen in a mirror. Qian Renxue was utterly astonished and had no idea why Lin Yu had destroyed the contract immediately after completing it.
