Morax Uses Divine Power to Set Liyue's Rules, Tang San: He Bound Himself to the Contract Too

The bridge is carved with simple yet intricate patterns, as if telling the story of the rise and fall of a civilization.

Having done all this, Morax seemed even more exhausted. But he still stood ramrod straight, turned around, and faced all his people behind him.

This was the first time since the migration that he had truly looked at them.

Let it go.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"The South is our new home."

The Light Screen shifted, and the image became clear again.

The Rock Bridge spanning the chasm stands silently like an Eternity monument. The weary migrants step onto the solid bridge, their steps slow but no longer filled with confusion. In their eyes, the figure ahead, who never looks back, is reflected, filled with an indescribable trust.

Across the great river lies a vast and flat land. Backed by the majestic Mount Tianheng and facing the boundless sea, it forms a natural and excellent haven.

This is the end of the journey.

People stopped in their tracks, gazing at their new homes, their faces a mixture of weariness, hope, and unease. Everything was unknown; what would the future hold?

Under everyone's gaze, Morax slowly turned around. His gaze swept over every face, from the wrinkles on the old man's face to the innocence in the child's eyes. This time, his gaze was no longer a simple stare, but carried an unprecedented solemnity.

He didn't announce any grand plans, nor did he promise any unrealistic future. He simply stretched out his hand, and golden Divine Power condensed in his palm, transforming into a square stone tablet that was deeply embedded in the ground beneath their feet.

"This is the basis for our agreement."

His voice, as steady as a rock, resonated in everyone's hearts.

"I, Morax, will protect the people of this land. I will withstand the erosion of wind and rain; I will slay the lurking Demon God. I will provide you with a safe haven and a foundation for fair trade."

He paused, his gaze becoming even more profound.

"And you, the people who live on this land, must feed on diligence and drink from wisdom, together building our home. This place is called ' Liyue '. The foundation of this place is 'the covenant'."

"My covenant with you is one of protection and prosperity. Your covenant with each other is one of fairness and integrity. Everything has its rules, and everything has its price. Those who break the covenant will suffer the Rock Devouring Punishment."

As soon as he finished speaking, ancient and complex runes lit up on the stone tablet, as if his words were forever imprinted in the soul of this land.

"Contract..."

Douluo God Realm.

Tang San's pupils contracted slightly. He understood. This was not merely a verbal promise; it was the manifestation of a Rules! This God of Geo was using his Divine Power to establish the most fundamental Laws for this nascent civilization!

"He included himself in the contract as well." Rong Nianbing, who was standing next to him and was the God of Emotion, could feel the immense emotions contained in the contract even more clearly—it was not a one-sided charity, but an equal and mutual entrustment.

"Gods make a covenant with mortals?" Ji Dong murmured to himself, while the eyes of the Lie Yan beside him also gleamed with a strange light. "In the Divine Realm, this is unimaginable. Gods only issue Divine Decree and never 'discuss' with mortals."

"He's not negotiating," Huo Yuhao retorted. His Divine Power could clearly perceive the emotions rising in the hearts of every Liyue citizen in the scene. "He's giving them something. Giving them the right to build their home, and also giving them the obligation to take responsibility. This is far superior to simply providing shelter."

The God King of the God Realm Committee exchanged bewildered glances. They were used to being high above others, used to setting Rules for all living beings to follow. But Morax's act of placing himself on the scales of the "contract," standing under the same principles as his people, completely overturned their understanding.

"A madman..." the Godess of Kindness murmured, but there was no hint of derogatoryness in his tone; instead, it was filled with shock.

"Perhaps, we are the ones who are wrong." For the first time God of Evil did not refute her.

A complex light flashed in the Dragon God's enormous eyes. He recalled the era when he ruled over all races, relying on absolute power and the suppression of bloodlines. But the god in the picture relied on a bond called "contract."

Which one will last longer?

The answer seems self-evident.

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena stared quietly at the Light Screen, her body trembling slightly.

contract...

A pact of protection and prosperity.

She thought of the fate of the Soul Beast, and the tragic wish of the Dragon Clan. She had also tried to protect her people, but her method was resistance, revenge, and starting a war. She had never imagined that she could make a pact with humans...

The moment the thought arose, it struck her as absurd. How could Soul Beast and a human possibly enter into an equal contract? Would human greed compel them to abide by it?

However, looking at the flames burning in the eyes of those mortals in the video, that heartfelt yearning for the future and reverence for God, she wavered again.

Perhaps... it's not impossible. It's just that she had never thought of it, nor had she ever met a "person" or "god" willing to make a pact with Soul Beast.

"Na'er ..." Tang Wulin grasped her hand. He could feel the turmoil in her heart.

He was equally deeply shaken. He carried the burden of the Tang Sect's revival, and the future of humanity and Soul Beast. He had been searching for a path, a path that everyone could walk.

Now, Morax has given him an answer.

It's not a one-sided concession, nor a one-sided demand. It's a contract—an equal contract built on shared goals.

"I understand." Tang Wulin's voice was soft, yet incredibly firm.

Inside the imperial palace.

"Do you see that, Tian Hen!" Xue Ye excitedly grabbed his grandson's arm, his knuckles turning white from the force. "This is the ultimate art of Emperor! It's not scheming, it's not force, it's contracts! It's Rules that resonate deeply with people!"

Tian Hen nodded vigorously, his breathing becoming rapid. "Grandpa Emperor, I understand. He has transformed his Divine Authority into a set of Rules that everyone must abide by. Even he himself is the guardian and practitioner of these Rules. In this way, the people's hearts will naturally be won over, and the empire will naturally be eternally stable!"

"That's right!" Xue Ye's eyes shone brightly. "People's hearts are not bought with favors, but maintained by fair Rules! This Rock God is teaching us how to become a true king!"

Shrek Academy.

"Damn, this guy is so cool!" He Caitou couldn't help but swear. "Establishing rules with Divine Power is more effective than any law!"
