In the future, will the Douluo Continent be dominated by humans or by Spirit Beasts?That remains to be seen.
But Qiangu Zhangting found it difficult to explain everything clearly.He could only resort to a universal method.
"Teacher, my Great-Grandfather should have told you about my relationship with our family's divination divine artifact.""As well as the prediction seven years ago regarding the Demon Plane's invasion of the Yuan En Family.""There are some things for which I cannot explain the reason, but they must be done."
These words made Han Tianyi's brow twitch.
Qiangu Dieting had indeed entrusted him with this matter.Whatever Qiangu Zhangting wanted to do, there was no need to stop him—only to provide full support.
Support, not interference.
After a moment of hesitation, Han Tianyi nodded.
At this moment, Naer was sleeping in another room.Qiangu Zhangting had accompanied her for an entire day—walking, eating, and finally bringing her to the chain hotel's buffet restaurant for a hearty meal.
Now, she was sleeping like a log.
"Teacher, an illusion.""Go all out and envelop the entire chain hotel."
Han Tianyi did not refuse.
His mental power, infinitely close to the Divine Origin Realm, spread out silently like ripples in water.It was vast, yet undetectable.
As the greatest illusion master of the current era, his control over mental force had reached an almost unbelievable level.
If Di Tian had still been guarding Naer, perhaps his ancient Spiritual Sense might have noticed something.But he was currently away on another mission.
As for the other Great Beasts—even existences like Bear Lord or the Ten Thousand Demon King—they would find it nearly impossible to break through Han Tianyi's illusion.
To outsiders, Naer's room appeared completely normal.
Only a sleeping girl.
But in reality, inside the room—
Qiangu Zhangting and Han Tianyi stood beside her.
Qiangu Zhangting took out a metal plate engraved with a Contract Magic Array and placed it on the ground.
The metal melted instantly, merging into the floor.
Layer upon layer of hexagonal patterns unfolded.
He and Naer stood at opposite ends of the array.
Sitting cross-legged, Qiangu Zhangting gathered his energy.At the center of his brow, a flame of contract ignited.
As the array stabilized, his fingertips were cut open by the patterns.Drops of blood fell into the array… flowing toward Naer.
The moment the connection formed—
Light erupted.
The array began evolving.
At first, it remained understandable.
But gradually, the patterns became so complex that even Han Tianyi could no longer comprehend them.
His expression changed.
"With such a level of evolution… how can this be possible?""Isn't she just an ordinary girl?"
Yet the truth unfolding before his eyes denied everything.
Then—
The array shifted.
The patterns turned blood-red.
Blood Contract.
The second stage.
More extreme than a master-servant contract.
Qiangu Zhangting's expression remained calm.
If it were only Naer, an equality contract would have been enough.
But his true target…
Was the Silver Dragon King behind her.
Gu Yue.
He would not gamble on emotions.
Not like Tang Wulin.
A Blood Contract was certainty.
The red light intensified—
Blinding.
And then—
Silence.
The array vanished.
The flame at Qiangu Zhangting's brow extinguished, replaced by a faint Silver Dragon mark.
The contract… was complete.
A strange sensation filled his body.
Light.
Clear.
The surrounding elements became visible, as if the world itself had opened its secrets to him.
His mental power surged.
Continuously growing.
As if strengthened by an unseen force.
This was the feedback of the Blood Contract—
And the inheritance of the Silver Dragon King.
At this moment, Qiangu Zhangting stood at the threshold of the Spirit Domain Realm.
Even more—
He could feel it.
A connection.
A bond.
A shared existence.
Power could be borrowed.
Strength could be fused.
Perhaps even a future Martial Soul Fusion-like state.
All of it… now possible.
At the same time—
Naer stirred.
Her eyes slowly opened.
Purple, dreamy, filled with confusion—
And now… something more.
A sense of closeness.
An invisible tie.
"Big Brother Zhang Ting…" she murmured softly, rubbing her eyes."Is something the matter?"
Qiangu Zhangting paused for only a moment before replying naturally—
"It's morning."
"Do you want to go eat?"
The moment she heard the word eat—
Naer's eyes lit up instantly.
