Morax Granted Eyes to the Dragon King Ruotuo, and They Even Became Brothers? God of Evil: This God Is Insane!
Bei Bei's expression was serious. "It's not just about effectiveness. You see, the moment the contract was formed, everyone's hearts were united. This power is even more terrifying than Divine Power itself."
Tang Ya stood to the side, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She recalled the darkness and struggles she had endured in her quest to revive the Tang Sect. If only there had been such a "contract" back then...
On the other side, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong stared intently, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a light brighter than any treasure she had ever seen.
Her family has established itself on the mainland by relying on Rules and support capabilities. She understands the importance of "rules" better than anyone else.
What Morax did was to establish a god-like set of "rules" centered on "contracts".
The images on the Light Screen began to accelerate.
Under Morax's guidance, the construction of Liyue Harbor began. People felled trees and quarried stone, watering this newly born land with their sweat. Morax no longer conjured a city with his Divine Power as before.
He was simply fulfilling his contract—to protect.
When storms come, he will raise massive rocky cliffs to protect the nascent harbor. When sea monsters attempt to invade, he will hurl down Rock Spear, pinning them to the depths of the ocean.
He entrusted the construction of the city, the circulation of commerce, and the creation of life entirely to his people.
People began to learn to trade with each other, initially through barter, but problems soon arose.
So Morax used the purest and most solid rock from his Divine Power as a template to personally forge the first golden round coin.
"This is ' Mora '."
"It will be the extension of my covenant with you, the measure of all value, and the proof of all sweat and wisdom."
"I swear by my God, its value is as solid as a rock."
When the first Mora circulated among the crowd, everyone understood that a brand new era had arrived.
Commerce is sprouting and growing at an unprecedented pace. Guided by "contracts" and mediated by "Mora," Liyue Harbor, the "City of Contracts," is rising from the ground at a visible speed.
It is full of vitality and hope.
"Genius... truly a genius..." Ning Rongrong murmured to herself, completely captivated by this system.
She looked at Ning Tian beside her, her voice trembling slightly.
"Father...he's not building a city."
"He is creating... Order. An absolutely fair commercial Order guaranteed by the credibility of God!"
The images on the Light Screen shifted again, the bustling Liyue Harbor gradually fading away, replaced by a deep, dark underground expanse devoid of light.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats; the contrast with the hopeful scene of city building they had just witnessed was too stark.
The underground cavern was vast and boundless, like a forgotten world. In the center of this world, a colossal dragon coiled. Its body was like a mountain range, its scales like unpolished jade, and it was filled with ancient and boundless power.
But it has no eyes.
Where the dragon's eye should have been, there were only two hollow stones.
[Divine Realm]
"This is... an ancient dragon formed from condensed elements." Chang Gongwei frowned. He could feel the pure rock Elemental Power contained within the dragon, which was almost comparable to that of some lower-level Deity.
"Without sight and trapped in the Dominus Lapidis, it must be a being born from the same origin as the Rock God," Lei Xiang analyzed. "But I wonder, what is the purpose of this Vago Rock, the Geo Archon revealing it? Is he intending to annihilate it to prevent future troubles?"
This is the normal thinking of Deity. How can one sleep soundly with such a powerful being of the same origin beside their bed? If such a powerful being from the same source were to be out of control, it would certainly be a huge threat.
However, Morax's figure appeared before the dragon within the Light Screen.
Faced with this colossal presence, he appeared somewhat insignificant, yet he simply stood calmly, as if at the center of heaven and earth.
"Do you want to see the world above ground?" Morax asked, his voice echoing through the cavern.
The dragon remained silent, but its massive body trembled slightly, clearly indicating that its heart was not at peace.
"I heard the songs of the earth, smelled the fragrance of a hundred flowers, and felt the warmth of the sun." The dragon's voice, transmitted directly through the vibrations of the rocks, was filled with endless longing. "But I cannot see."
"I can give you eyes," Morax said.
The dragon's body shuddered violently. "What's the price?"
"Sign a contract with me." Morax extended his hand. "I will grant you eyes, so that you may see the light of day. You will come with me to the surface of the earth, and with your power, we will protect this land and its inhabitants. Until one day, the earth trembles, and there may be a moment when we turn against each other."
The dragon remained silent for a long time.
It felt neither deception nor coercion, only an equal invitation.
"Very well," it replied in a deep voice, "I, Ruotuo, hereby enter into a contract with you."
The moment the words fell, golden light flowed from Morax's fingertips, and two incredibly solid points of Divine Power, like dazzling suns, slowly flew toward the empty eye sockets of the Dragon King Ruotuo.
The moment the light entered, the enormous body of the Dragon King Ruotuo trembled violently. A pair of brand-new dragon eyes, shimmering with golden light, slowly opened.
It saw the light, and it saw the person who gave it that light.
"Brother..." Dragon King Ruotuo lowered his proud head.
[God Realm Committee]
"Puff--"
The God of Goodness Lieyan, spat out a mouthful of divine drink, and Ji Dong quickly patted her back to help.
"Brother... brother?!" The God of Evil A'Dai (Mandun)'s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What... what right does he have? A god, calling a non-human elemental creature brother?!"
This completely overturned their understanding!
What is God? He is the supreme ruler! Mortals, Soul Beast, and elemental beings are all his subjects, all ants! Rewards are grace, and command is Schicksal.
But what is Morax doing?
He made an equal deal with a powerful being! He even foresaw the possible betrayal that might happen in the future!
"This isn't domination, this is... a partnership?" the Sea Dragon God muttered to himself, feeling his worldview being shaken.
"Madman!" The God of Destruction's face was full of disdain and incomprehension. "To entrust your safety to an empty contract? To befriend a potential threat? Utterly foolish! Power is only truly reliable when it is in your own hands!"
However, Chang Gongwei and Lei Xiang fell into a long silence.
They gazed at the dragon named Ruotuo on the Light Screen, its new eyes looking at Morax with curiosity and awe, its gaze filled with the joy and gratitude of being reborn.
