A contract was a type of Spiritual Object born from the heavens and earth.
Once a contract was signed, it meant both parties would be watched by the Will of heaven and earth.
Whoever dared to violate the contract—so long as they remained in this world, or even near it—would be found by the Will of heaven and earth. The Will would then, as agreed, collect the stake put down by the defaulting party.
Li Chang'an had sensed the Will of this world during his previous battle with the Cultivator.
That was why he had made the suggestion.
After all, the price he had to pay was immense. The World-Devouring Whale needed to guarantee that nothing would go wrong, and at present, only this world's World Consciousness could serve as a supervisor.
The World Consciousness was one of the concrete manifestations of the world's laws. As long as It didn't encounter an even more powerful World Consciousness, It was essentially invincible within its own domain.
