Hammers narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Charlie, and finally smiled. "It's just an oath, isn't it? I haven't done it, so of course I dare to."

“Alright, then you can come!” Charlie nodded and then quickly said, “Please let the great God of Contracts bear witness.”

Charlie spoke in Chinese, which Hammers didn't understand. Although he found it strange, he didn't pay much attention and began to swear, "I, Hammers, swear that if Help's death is because of me, I will die immediately."

After saying that, Hammers looked at Charlie defiantly, only to be met with a look of utter disbelief from Charlie.

Before Hammers could figure out what was going on, a bolt of lightning struck him squarely, turning him into a charred corpse and killing him instantly.

"Idiot, it's terrifying to be uncultured. You don't even know about the Contract of the Multiverse."

Charlie looked at Hammers's corpse with a smug look on his face, and he felt even more delighted when he saw the astonished expressions on the faces of Hammers's supporters.

He had seen the Covenant of Myriad Realms online a few days ago. He initially thought it was a joke and didn't pay much attention to it. However, out of curiosity, he casually made a vow, which came true. Afterward, he had others test it several times and finally confirmed the authenticity of the God of Myriad Realms, which led to today's plan.

Even if Hammers wasn't really the one who harmed his father, he would find other excuses to make Hammers die because of an oath.

……

The Contract of Myriad Realms was naturally Yi Shuihan's doing. However, although he could spiritually encompass the Earth, he was not so bored as to meddle in such matters. He only used the power of his Thunder Tribulation Divine Power and some methods from the Mystic Art of Ascension to create this thing.

Why would they do this? The answer is naturally to steal the power of the true God of Contracts. There is no such God of Contracts in this universe, so let him take on that role.

Earth is just the first step for Yi Shuihan; his ultimate goal is the entire multiverse.

"The world's will has no reaction to my actions, but I can feel a trace of primal power converging towards me. Has it been successful?"

On the surface, Yi Shuihan was lying on a beach chair basking in the enhanced sun, but in reality, he was constantly paying attention to unknown changes.

As the Covenant of the Myriad Realms continues to unfold on Earth, more and more people are realizing its reality and acknowledging the existence of the God of Covenants. With each covenant or oath being fulfilled, Yi Shuihan can feel the power of the origin gathering little by little. At this rate, one day, the God of Covenants will be recognized by the will of the world, and he, Yi Shuihan, will receive the blessing of this part of the origin and become the true God of Covenants.

After becoming the true God of Contracts, if Yi Shuihan were to travel through time again, he would be able to completely possess this power, which would be equivalent to stealing the origin of the world.

Chapter 720, The Monument of the Contract

The existence of the Covenant of the Myriad Realms quickly attracted the attention of Bruce and others. They began to investigate how the Covenant of the Myriad Realms was originally circulated, thinking it was a sign of an invasion by some evil force. However, no matter how they investigated, they could not find the real source. Finally, they sought help from Yi Shuihan.

"I'm saying, if all of you can't make a difference, how can I possibly be effective by myself?"

Yi Shuihan looked at Barry, who had come to deliver the message, with a blank expression.

"Brother Yi, aren't you all-powerful? Why don't you use magic to do some divination? There seems to be a divination technique in Taoist magic, that would work too."

Barry looked at Yi Shuihan with a fawning expression, and what he said almost made Yi Shuihan spit out his words: "Magic can tell fortunes, and Taoist magic can predict the future."

"You've done a pretty good job learning Chinese culture! You can even use idioms."

"Of course, in order to cultivate, I spent a lot of time learning about Eastern culture."

"You're still thinking about cultivation?"

"Of course, wouldn't one be able to live forever through cultivation?"

Barry said with a serious expression that he wasn't actually that obsessed with cultivation. It was mainly his wife who kept whispering in his ear, telling him to teach her after he could cultivate. Immortality was secondary; the key was to stay young.

"Then you still need to keep working hard!"

Yi Shuihan said earnestly, "With this level of comprehension, he won't be able to step into the threshold of cultivation for decades to come. He can't even distinguish between magic and Taoist arts."

Barry didn't understand Yi Shuihan's deeper meaning; he simply took it as encouragement and was very grateful.

"Tell Bruce and the others that I'll take care of this. I'll let them know when I have news."

After thinking about it, Yi Shuihan still didn't reveal that he was the one who caused it.

Having received Yi Shuihan's promise, Barry immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and departed.

A few days later, the League of Legends addressed the issue of the Multiverse Contract, urging people on Earth not to attempt it lightly. This was primarily to prevent those unaware of the truth from being tricked into making oaths or entering into unjust contracts.

This has indeed alerted many people, preventing them from being fooled, and has also contributed to the spread of the Covenant of the Myriad Realms. Originally, although many people knew about the Covenant of the Myriad Realms, it was not something that everyone on Earth knew about. Now, it's much better; basically, everyone on Earth knows about the Covenant of the Myriad Realms.

Therefore, when companies sign labor contracts, others don't want a physical contract but want the boss to sign a formal agreement; when lending money, they don't want an IOU but want you to swear an oath.

"Qianqian, I love you, marry me!"

A handsome boy knelt down in front of the girl and said with deep affection.

The girl seemed very shy, and just when everyone thought she was about to agree, she said somewhat hesitantly, "Can you swear an oath? Under the witness of the great God of Covenants."

The boy was silent for a moment, then turned and left. He truly loved the girl, but he couldn't guarantee that he would love her forever. In other words, his love for her hadn't reached the point of being devoted to her until death.

The emergence of the Multiverse Contract has made impulsive marriage proposals more difficult, but it is foreseeable that people who have made a vow to remarry will never easily get divorced.

In short, the Covenant of the Myriad Realms has greatly changed the way of life on Earth. For a time, there were far fewer cases of people being deceived. Those who made a living by fraud were in big trouble because they dared not swear oaths and therefore could not gain trust.

Compared to agreements based on trust or contracts based on law, people have more faith in the power of contracts.

Even Caitlin insisted on swearing an oath to Yi Shuihan, but Yi Shuihan said it was easy and stress-free, which made Caitlin very happy, and they unlocked quite a few positions that night.

"The first phase can now be concluded, and the second phase can begin."

With the Earth project progressing smoothly, Yi Shuihan finally stopped hesitating and decided to spread the name of the God of Contracts throughout the universe. To this end, he sought out Green Lantern.

Yi Shuihan's strength was not enough to cover the entire universe. It was fine for just Earth, but if the scope were larger, a medium would be needed.

The "Monument of Contracts" is the medium that Yi Shuihan prepared for this purpose. It is like a signal tower. As long as a contract is made in front of it, Yi Shuihan can respond.

The reason for seeking out the Green Lanterns is that the Green Lantern Corps has countless Green Lantern warriors scattered across the universe on different planets. As long as they can bring the Covenant back to them, Yi Shuihan's goal will be achieved.

Green Lantern was quite surprised by Yi Shuihan's visit, since their relationship was only that of friends of friends, not to the point of visiting each other.

"I'm here today because I want you to do me a favor."

Yi Shuihan stated his purpose directly.

"help?"

Green Lantern was somewhat surprised. He knew that Yi Shuihan was a stronger person than him, and he really couldn't think of any way he could help Yi Shuihan.

"Here's what happened. Didn't the Alliance ask me to investigate the Covenant of the Myriad Realms? I actually managed to uncover some information and even saw the true form of the God of Covenants."

"The true form of the God of Contracts?"

"Indeed, he is an extremely powerful being, much stronger than me. He made a request of me, hoping that I could spread his glory throughout the universe. In return, he would help us when Earth is in danger."

Green Lantern's first reaction was that it was a joke, but Yi Shuihan's eyes made him have to believe it.

There must be someone even stronger than Yi Shuihan. As far as Green Lantern knows, Yi Shuihan is the number one on Earth. Even the Green Lantern Corps can't find a match for him. How strong must the God of Contracts be? If we don't help, and if the God of Contracts gets angry, Earth will be in a very dangerous situation.

Nodding, Green Lantern asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"This thing is called the Contract Tablet, and its function is..."

Yi Shuihan took out the Contract Monument and explained its effects to Green Lantern, as well as his thoughts.

Green Lantern was silent for a moment, then finally said he would help, but he wasn't sure if he could succeed. He would explain the situation to the other members of the Green Lantern Corps, and he couldn't force those who didn't want to accept the Covenant to give it to them.

"No problem, this is not something that needs to be hidden. You just need to tell the truth. You can even let them study the Contract Stele. If there is any conspiracy, we will not help you."

After hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Green Lantern had no more doubts about him and immediately took the ring that Yi Shuihan had enough of the Contract Monument to the Green Lantern Corps.

"I hope everything goes smoothly, otherwise I'll have to think of other ways, which would be much more troublesome."

Chapter 721, The Yellow Light Approaches

The Contract Monument created by Yi Shuihan had only one function as a medium and was not mixed with any conspiracy. Therefore, when Green Lantern introduced the Contract Monument to the Green Lantern Corps, there were no unexpected events.

Many members of the Green Lantern Corps were still willing to help Green Lantern. In just a few days, Yi Shuihan felt that his Contract Monument had expanded to several hundred planets. At this rate, it would reach several thousand or even tens of thousands of planets in less than a month.

However, not everyone is willing to give Green Lantern face, and the situation varies from planet to planet. After the first few days, the growth rate slowed down.

"Green Lantern is a decent guy, he's quite capable."

Feeling the increasingly concentrated power of origin, Yi Shuihan estimated that even if the Contract Monument could no longer be issued, he would not be too far from becoming the God of Contracts in this world, in about a year or two.

"Once it officially becomes the God of Contracts, this primal power will be at least equivalent to a portion of the primal essence of a low-level world. The primal essence of this world is abundant, and a portion of the primal essence of a low-level world is just a drop in the ocean for it."

A month later, Green Lantern returned to Earth and found Yi Shuihan. He explained his trip to promote the Covenant Monument. He hadn't been a member of the Green Lantern Corps for long, so he didn't know many people in the Corps. However, because the Green Lantern Corps was generally friendly, many Green Lanterns helped him out after he told them about the Covenant Monument.

"A total of 1743 Contract Stones were sent out."

Green Lantern handed the ring containing the covenant to Yi Shuihan.

"You don't need to return it to me. Just keep it with you. You might need it in the future."

Despite not accepting the ring, Yi Shuihan was somewhat puzzled by the number Green Lantern had revealed. If his senses were correct, only 1428 Contract Monuments had ever been activated, which was quite different from the 1743 Green Lantern had mentioned.

"It's one thing if they haven't used a few dollars or even a few dozen dollars, but they haven't used more than 300 dollars. Surely they can't be taking them back for research, right? As for trying to fool Green Lantern, there's no need for that! People who become members of the Green Lantern Corps wouldn't have such bad intentions."

The Green Lantern Corps is a guardian legion; usually, only one or two people on a planet become Green Lanterns. Those chosen are typically people who are devoted to justice and possess courage.

Based on mere speculation, Yi Shuihan couldn't figure out what was going on, nor could he verify each detail. In the end, he could only put the matter out of his mind.

Just as Yi Shuihan was gradually forgetting about this incident, one day Green Lantern Hal found him and told him about a major event that had occurred in the Green Lantern Corps: the former leader of the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro, had rebelled and established the Yellow Lantern Corps, many of whose members were the ones Hal had once given the Covenant Monument to.

It is clear that the more than 300 Covenant Tablets that have remained untouched are in the hands of the Yellow Lantern Legion, and may have been discarded in some corner of the universe, or may have been destroyed.

Of course, the most important point is that Sinestro's rebellion is that Sinestro and HAL are quite at odds, and this rebellion may very well lead to an attack on HAL's home planet, Earth.

This was just Hal's speculation, but it was quite possible. It immediately caught the attention of the Justice League, whose goal was to protect the Earth. As one of the founding members of the Justice League, Yi Shuihan naturally couldn't stay out of it.

The Justice League is only active on Earth; in the universe, it's invisible. So even if they know there's a potential enemy, they can't take the initiative and can only wait for the enemy to make a move before retaliating.

Even an ordinary Yellow Lantern warrior possesses considerable strength; they are no less powerful than the previous Kryptonians. If they were to invade Earth, the planet could very well be destroyed. Unlike the Kryptonians, they do not require a new homeworld.

Hal came to inform Yi Shuihan to attend a Justice League meeting, where the discussion would focus on preventing Sinestro's attack.

"I think it's best not to turn the Earth into a battlefield, otherwise things will get out of control."

At the meeting, Hal's face was filled with self-reproach, because if it weren't for him, Sinestro would never have targeted Earth.

"But we have too few people here who are actually capable of space warfare, so we simply cannot fix the battlefield in space."

Bruce pointed out the Justice League's predicament: facing the overwhelming Yellow Lantern Corps, their strength seemed insufficient.

"Clark, Hal, and I, along with Yi, only have four people with the capability for space combat. That's really too few."

Diana also looked somber.

"Allah, Allah, the Yellow Lantern Legion and all that are just clowns. It's better if they don't come. If they dare to come, I guarantee they'll regret it."

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan's expression was very relaxed. He really didn't take the Yellow Lantern Corps seriously. In fact, whether it was Clark, Diana, or himself, they all had the strength to wipe out the Yellow Lantern Corps. It was just that Clark and the others couldn't guarantee that Earth wouldn't be affected by the large number of Yellow Lantern Corps members.

Do you have any ideas?

As the strongest and most mysterious person present, Yi Shuihan's words were taken seriously by everyone else, who did not think he was just trying to comfort them.

“We Earth now have a powerful ally. With his help, the Yellow Lantern Legion’s power can’t reach Earth at all.”

"You mean the God of Contracts? But will he really intervene?"

While everyone else was confused, Hal was the first to guess the answer.

"Yes, it's him. I'm certain that if the Yellow Lantern Legion really invades Earth, he will definitely take action. His desire to protect Earth is no less than ours."

"What exactly are you two talking about?"

"The thing is, before..."

Everyone knows about the God of Contracts, but not everyone knows about the Monument of Contracts.

After Hal explained the matter of the God of Contracts and the Monument of Contracts, everyone present finally understood what was going on. Although they only learned about the power of the God of Contracts from Yi Shuihan, they were still relieved.

Chapter 722, The Killing Intent Has Begun

Apart from the Justice League members, no other Earthlings knew about the Yellow Lantern Corps' invasion. This wasn't a deliberate cover-up, but rather because even if everyone knew, it wouldn't make any difference; it would only cause panic. So, it was better not to know!

The Senestor Legion arrived quickly. Just three days after the meeting, Yi Shuihan discovered several thousand troops outside the Milky Way, including nearly a hundred Yellow Lantern Legions. Although the other creatures did not have Yellow Lantern rings, they still exuded a powerful aura.

"Senestor is quite capable, managing to gather such a force in such a short time. However, it seems that because the rebellion has only been going on for a short time, the forging of the Yellow Lantern Rings hasn't kept up yet, so this isn't a pure Yellow Lantern Legion, but a mixed army!"

Yi Shuihan himself was still on Earth. The reason he was able to discover the invaders outside the Milky Way was twofold: firstly, he already knew that Seneca would come, and secondly, he had set up a monitoring array at the edge of the Milky Way.

"Should we call Clark and the others to join the fight?"

After thinking it over, Yi Shuihan decided to go alone, but under a different identity.

"Although the God of Contracts has not yet been fully realized, he can still exert some of his power."

Beyond the Milky Way, Yi Shuihan alone blocked the path of Seneca and the others.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan was shrouded in a layer of light mist, making him difficult to see clearly. However, his body was the size of a planet, and his sudden appearance in front of Seneca and the others really startled them.

Yi Shuihan's aura was astonishing, and his appearance was completely unexpected. Without knowing Yi Shuihan's background, Seneca naturally did not want to become Yi Shuihan's enemy.

"The Milky Way is my territory."

Seneca wanted to go around it, but Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't agree, and immediately conveyed his attitude through his mental power.
