Chapter 146: A Contract in Another World
"It doesn't hurt! I feel almost no pain." Jin Qiu replied, shaking her furry ears.
Xinghan nodded, feeling that its ears were newly grown.
However, after this extreme pain, Xinghan suddenly felt as if his whole body was boiling.
A warm current surges through the body, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort.
It was as if his body had been washed all over by icy spring water, like taking a cold shower in summer.
"There's no time!" Xinghan said to Jinqiu, "Let's speed up."
"Great!" The little fur ball Jinqiu began to roll around. Xinghan was so fast that it was difficult for him to get close to it. He could only see its afterimage. After a while, the fur ball disappeared.
After confirming that there was no substantial damage to his body, he gritted his teeth and continued to pass through the second and third golden gates.
He rushed towards the second-floor door, and his body was instantly filled with severe pain.
The pain was like a burning fire and like thousands of arrows piercing his heart, almost making it impossible for him to breathe.
However, in this extreme pain, a wonderful energy surged into his body.
It brought him an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if his soul had been comforted.
"It seems like it's nothing!" Xinghan said, "There's no way I can be defeated by a ball!"
Although each crossing is accompanied by severe pain and subsequent comfort, it seems like a cruel trial.
But Xinghan did not intend to retreat, especially since he had a hunch in his heart that these gates would not cause him any substantial harm.
Besides, when he came to the world of "Traveling with the Phoenix", he had no intention of becoming the king, and he also had the backup option of restarting his life, so he no longer had any concerns.
The third-level golden gate is right in front of you.
The third-level golden gate is like a natural moat, stretching across the vast starry sky.
He stared at the gleaming portal, his eyes gleaming with determination.
With one lungful of energy, Xinghan leaped forward with all his might, and rushed towards the gate like an arrow.
At the moment of crossing, he closed his eyes, silently chanting Shen Li's name in his heart, looking forward to the upcoming changes.
However, to his surprise, this crossing did not bring severe pain or comfort.
On the contrary, he felt as if he had passed through an invisible film, and everything became unusually calm.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing on the other side of the door.
The golden gate disappeared out of thin air after he passed through it, as if it had never existed.
"But...what's going on?"
When he passed through the three-story gate, he found himself still in darkness.
He waved his fists angrily, as if to break the endless darkness.
At this moment, he heard a clear voice ringing in his ears, as if Shen Li was calling his name.
Xinghan's mind moved, and he quickly took out the five-colored jade harp.
He plucked the strings hard, and this time the strings still did not move, but waves of light seemed to pop out from his fingers.
The piano music raged in the darkness like a violent storm, and the sound was sharp and passionate, as if it could tear the darkness apart.
As the sound of the piano spread, the surrounding darkness began to tremble violently, as if it was dispelled by an invisible force.
Xinghan felt as if his body had merged with the waves of the piano, and his soul was stirred and sublimated by the music.
He is no longer fighting alone, but is connected to the power of the entire universe.
He waved his waves vigorously, as if to sweep away all the darkness and enemies.
Finally, after a violent wave, the darkness was completely dispelled, and a bright light appeared in front of Xinghan's eyes.
That is the entrance to the cave, and the only way to Shen Li.
A hint of joy flashed in Xinghan's eyes. He looked down inadvertently and found that a complex contract formation suddenly appeared under his feet, emitting a faint golden light.
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in Xinghan's ears:
[Congratulations to the host for binding the "Onmyoji" I and My Child Together System. You have completed the contract in another world. 】
The voice was cold and mechanical, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Xinghan was stunned. He suddenly realized that this system sound was actually emitted by the system he encountered when he first signed the contract. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, with both surprise and confusion.
The system seemed to sense his confusion and began to introduce itself automatically.
It turned out that he had rejoined the company and became the new host of the Onmyoji system.
This system will accompany him and help him move forward in this world full of mystery and danger.
Xinghan took a deep breath, feeling both anticipation and worry in his heart.
He knew that the emergence of this system might bring him great power, but it might also bring more unknowns and dangers. However, he had no way out and could only move forward bravely to find Shen Li and uncover the truth of it all.
He looked down at the contract formation under his feet. The flashing golden light seemed to contain some mysterious power.
He knew that this was the bond between him and the system, and also his support for future progress.
His eyes fell on the ground beneath his feet, where a complex and ancient contract formation was drawn. Faint fluctuations of spiritual energy flowed in the formation, revealing a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
His heart was filled with doubts and expectations, and he immediately asked the Yin Yang Master system in his body: "What should I do now? What is this contract formation used for?"
The familiar and calm voice of the system sounded in his mind: "You have reached the critical node and can now make an appointment to summon.
As a first-time Onmyoji, you have a special summoning benefit, which is that you can make an appointment with Shikigami to enter the new area and the Phoenix World. You can have up to 150+30 summoning opportunities, which you can use to select 1 SSR-level Shikigami, 1 SR-level Shikigami, and 1 R-level Shikigami from the Shikigami pool as your initial partner to embark on the journey together. "
When Xinghan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He thought of the magical beasts he had encountered before and the challenges mentioned by Shen Li, and a strong desire surged in his heart - he needed a powerful partner to help him.
Amaterasu!
Amaterasu!
Amaterasu!
Human rights card, Amaterasu!
Human rights card, Amaterasu!
Human rights card, Amaterasu!
Xinghan silently repeated Amaterasu's name many times in his heart before he suppressed his excitement.
In Onmyoji, when a new area is opened, in order to attract new players to join and provide a good starting environment, the game specially sets up a "pre-booking call" activity. This activity is a special benefit for new players to settle in the new area, and it also includes an extremely attractive guarantee mechanism.
In "Pre-order Summoning", new players are entitled to a specific number of summons, which usually includes a mechanism to ensure that an SSR-level Shikigami will be obtained within the first few summons (such as the first 10 draws or a number specifically set for the event).
SSR Shikigami, as the rarest and most powerful existence in the game, not only possess extraordinary combat capabilities, but also carry rich background stories, which can greatly enhance the player's combat experience and strategic depth.
The original intention of this design is to provide new players with a strong start, help them adapt to the game environment more quickly, integrate into the world of Onmyoji, and start their own legendary adventure.
At the same time, the pre-order summoning also stimulates players' curiosity and desire to explore unknown Shikigami, making each summoning full of expectations and surprises.
"It turns out that Journey with the Phoenix is another brand new chapter in the world of Onmyoji." Xinghan thought to himself, with a glimmer of exploration in his eyes. He gradually realized that he was standing at a crossroads where history and legends intertwined, and every step he took might reveal the tip of the iceberg of ancient secrets.
The "Appointment Summoning" activity opened in the new area is not only a way for him to quickly accumulate strength, but also an excellent opportunity to integrate into this world and understand this world.
"What I want to do is not only to summon powerful shikigami, but also to unlock the secrets of this world and become a bridge between the past and the future."
"So," he continued, "do the shikigami I currently have, such as Yamausagi, count as one of my summoning options?"
