Morax Sets the Rules and Punishes Great Water Chi, Chains Bind the Demon God Helpless; Dragon God: He Is the Law

"No..." Chang Gongwei slowly began, "You didn't understand. What he gained wasn't a subordinate, but a comrade-in-arms with equal strength who was willing to fight alongside him..."

"Loyalty earned through a contract is far more solid than loyalty gained through coercion," Lei Xiang added. "Because this contract is two-way. He gives the other party what they want, and they will naturally reciprocate with what he promised. This is far superior to one-sided divine power."

The God King were collectively speechless.

Their long-held beliefs are being shattered by this Rock God from Other World.

[Star Dou Great Forest]

Gu Yuena stared blankly at the Light Screen, her long silver hair moving without any wind.

In her mind, her plan, which had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, surfaced: to lead the Soul Beast, take revenge on humanity, and regain control of the continent.

To this end, she did not hesitate to split her own soul, infiltrate the human world, and stir up countless conflicts and wars. She used, deceived, and plotted to drag the entire continent into the flames of war.

And the result?

Both sides suffer losses.

The Soul Beast Clan never truly rose to power, and the human world was ravaged. She herself was even sealed away.

But what about Morax?

Faced with a potential threat, a powerful kin, he chose not suppression or enslavement, but a "contract."

"Together we protect..." Gu Yuena murmured to herself, the confusion in her eyes gradually replaced by a sense of understanding.

She understood.

She's been wrong all along.

What she wanted was the rise of the Soul Beast and the unification of the continent. But the methods she chose were destruction and conquest. This would only provoke stronger resistance.

What Morax did was to establish an "Order" that everyone recognized, a "Rules" that everyone was willing to uphold.

Under this Rules, gods and dragons can be brothers, and humans can trade fairly. People are not forced to obey, but rather they voluntarily abide by this "contract" for the common good and future.

This is the true path to victory! This is the correct way to unify the continent!

It's not about conquering with force, but about uniting all forces that can be united through a fair set of Rules!

Tang Wulin, who was standing beside her, sensed the intense fluctuation of her emotions and looked over with concern. He noticed that the resentment and unwillingness emanating from Gu Yuena seemed to have dissipated considerably at this moment.

The image on the Light Screen changed again.

On the coastline of Liyue Harbor, the calm sea was suddenly churned up with towering waves.

A colossal shadow, larger than anything imaginable, emerged from the deep sea. It was a twisted, ferocious Great Beasts, its body seemingly composed of filthy seawater, its countless tentacles flailing wildly, each strike causing the earth to tremble.

[High Above the Heavens]

"Ancient Demon God, the Great Water Chi!" The Dragon God's majestic voice rang out, tinged with solemnity.

"Such intense resentment and hatred." The Dragon Prince frowned. "This guy probably came with the will to destroy everything."

Within the Light Screen, the roar of the Great Water Chi transformed into tangible sound waves, shattering the rocks along the shore. It hated all new life on this land, and it wanted to drag the city that rose from the ground, along with those ant-like humans, into the deep sea.

Just then, a golden light descended from the sky.

Morax hovered in the air, looking down at the rampaging Demon God.

"A contract has been signed here. Stop here." His voice was calm, yet it resonated throughout the entire world.

The Great Water Chi let out a piercing shriek, clearly ignoring the warning. It unleashed a colossal wave hundreds of feet high, carrying mud and demonic energy, and crashed towards Liyue Harbor.

Morax made no unnecessary moves.

He simply raised his hand and made a loose grasping motion towards the towering waves.

Buzz--

The earth roared, and countless enormous Rock Spear burst forth from the seabed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, instantly forming an indestructible rock barrier that firmly kept the giant waves outside the harbor.

Immediately afterwards, he spread his hands to the sides.

The ocean has been divided.

The seawater receded to both sides, revealing the massive seabed below and the ugly yet enormous body of the Great Water Chi.

"Wow!" He Caitou nearly dropped in astonishment. "Parting the seas?! What kind of power is this?!"

Compared to this scene, Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Nether Replacement seemed like a child's joke.

Emperor Dai Hao's pupils contracted. This kind of power had exceeded the limits of mortal imagination. Even Limit Douluo could not do it.

However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.

Instead of piercing him directly with the Rock Spear, Morax slowly raised his hand.

In his palm, countless golden Divine Power runes began to intertwine and converge, eventually transforming into incredibly thick Golden Chains.

The chains were engraved with ancient and complex patterns, exuding an aura of "Rules" themselves that could not be defied.

"This Rules is established in the name of a contract."

Anyone who crosses the boundary line will be punished.

"This is the Rule Lock!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless golden chains seemed to come alive, shooting towards the Great Water Chi trapped on the seabed from all directions.

The Great Water Chi struggled frantically, spewing out black water that corroded everything, but the chains seemed to have no effect on it, easily piercing through its defenses and deeply embedding themselves in its body, binding it layer upon layer.

It was bound into a giant rice dumpling, unable to move, and could only let out a mournful cry of resentment.

The Divine Realm.

Tang San's Purple Demon Eye was activated to its maximum potential.

He stared intently at the golden chains.

That wasn't just a simple energy body, nor was it a physical entity. It was something... on a higher level.

"It's the Laws ..." Tang San's voice was a little hoarse. "He's not attacking with Divine Power; he's establishing ' Rules,' and then using the ' Rules ' themselves to punish the Demon God who broke Rules!"

This is terrible.

This means that within his domain, he is the absolute Laws -maker. His word is Schicksal!

On the other side, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong was so excited that she trembled all over.

"Father! Did you see that? The Rule Lock!" She grabbed Ning Tian's arm. "This is the consequence of breaking the 'rules'! He used his greatest power to uphold the Order he established! Anyone who dares to challenge this Order will be Binding by the Rules themselves!"

Ning Tian was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He finally understood why his daughter had lost her composure.

Everything Morax has done, from establishing the contract to forging Mora, and now to suppressing the Demon God with the Rule Lock, has been carried out within a single core framework.

That is -- Order!

An ultimate Order that is guaranteed by the credibility of God and backed by absolute power, and which cannot be challenged.
