#482 - Chapter 471: Being Excluded Because of Being Too Excellent
“Tell me more,” Jiang Han pressed.
“Possessing a legendary Sacred Judgment-level item, I believe your perspective should be quite broad. You should also know that beyond the starry sky, there exist different planes of existence.”
Charles I spoke eloquently, “And the ability to repel the False God back then also relied on the power of the lost continent.”
“That’s not hard to understand,” Jiang Han nodded. “From a macroscopic view, each plane can be regarded as an individual.”
“However, I am more curious about how to obtain the power of a plane, or rather, how to borrow it.”
“That’s more difficult. To utilize the power of a plane, one needs to gain the plane's recognition.”
“And that is almost impossible. Back then, if the False God hadn't been so aggressive, coupled with the fragmentation of various planes and the complex situations that arose, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to borrow the power of the planes.”
Charles I's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he recalled the past.
“The plane's recognition?”
Jiang Han frowned and said, “Are you talking about… the Divine Tree?”
“Yes.”
Charles I nodded. “You have indeed seen Him.”
“But He never mentioned anything about the power of the planes.”
Jiang Han was somewhat puzzled. “Is it because this power has some limitations for the Divine Tree as well?”
“I'm not very clear about that, but… I think if the Divine Tree didn't tell you about the power of the planes, it shouldn't be for that reason,” Charles I said.
“What is it then?” Jiang Han asked.
“Because the so-called power of the planes is the last resort.”
Charles I sighed heavily. “The principle of equivalent exchange applies everywhere, and this power is too strong. The price to pay for bearing the power of a plane is naturally very high.”
“And you.”
As he spoke, he looked at the Reincarnation Seal floating in the air beside him. “Although I can't see it clearly, to possess an item of this level at such a young age, your strength and potential are unfathomable.”
“If it weren't absolutely necessary, the Divine Tree wouldn't let you bear this power.”
“The price is too heavy.”
“There’s such a saying?” Jiang Han was stunned.
“It sounds a bit outrageous,” Charles I laughed. “You are being excluded because you are too excellent.”
“Overall, it's a good thing.”
“Perhaps only when the False Gods invade and humans are truly unable to resist will the Divine Tree reveal these things.”
“I understand,” Jiang Han nodded. “So, what is the so-called price?”
“A contract.”
Charles I said, “To obtain the power of a plane, you must sign a contract with the plane, and the content of the contract is to sell your soul.”
His voice was low and sounded strangely desolate. “From the moment the contract is signed, your soul no longer belongs to you.”
“Selling your soul to the plane in exchange for great power, huh?”
Jiang Han stroked his chin. “Why does this sound so familiar? Isn't that what demons in fairy tales love to do?”
“You can understand it that way.”
Charles I nodded. “I advise you not to do that.”
“Can you be more specific?” Jiang Han asked curiously.
Charles I looked into the distance, hesitated, and finally shook his head.
“I can't say more. In the end, you have to explore it yourself.”
