“Fiora has agreed to come with us! But she’s mine now, so don’t get any other ideas about her.”

Looking at Caitlin's serious face, Yi Shuihan could only nod slowly.

Why did I feel so strange when Caitlin said Fiora was her person? What exactly was strange about it?

A scene suddenly flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind: when Caitlin said that Fiora was her person, there was a fleeting happiness in Fiora's eyes.

Yes, that is happiness.

"No way! When did those two... happen? Something's not right here!"

She glanced at Fiora out of the corner of her eye, who was pretending nothing had happened, and then carefully examined Caitlin. She realized one thing: Fiora seemed to be in a one-sided love affair, and Caitlin had not noticed Fiora's special feelings for her.

“That’s true! If Fiora and Caitlin only had a normal relationship, then the contract would not have been signed. When signing the contract, the power of the contract would tell Fiora what would happen after signing the contract. The two of them would become completely bound together in life and death. As the main party to the contract, Caitlin would have control over Fiora’s freedom and life and death.”

No matter what Yi Shuihan thought, it was all in vain. He had no way to break the contract between Fiora and Caitlin. Even if Caitlin wanted to break it, she couldn't. The power of this contract was extremely strong. Both parties had to agree when it was signed, and the same was true for breaking it. If he wanted to break it by force, he would have to wait until Yi Shuihan became a Gold Saint, and even then, it was only a possibility.

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan's expression changed. He felt himself being locked onto by a powerful consciousness. The owner of this consciousness was perhaps more than hundreds of thousands of light-years away from him, but he felt as if it could appear in front of him at any moment.

"Caitlyn, put Fiora into your summoning space. I'm leaving."

Yi Shuihan shouted loudly at Caitlin.

Startled at first, Caitlin saw the anxiety in Yi Shuihan's eyes, took a deep breath, and followed Yi Shuihan's instructions to put Fiora into the summoning space.

At the same time, Yi Shuihan also brought Fiora into the summoning space when Caitlin did so.

"Holy Spirit, begin the journey."

"Ding, the time travel has begun. Please get on board, host. The experienced driver is about to start the journey."

The system's immense power instantly enveloped Yi Shuihan, its powerful force piercing through the barrier of the world and opening a passage.

"boom"

Just then, a giant hand composed entirely of primordial power appeared out of thin air above Yi Shuihan and grabbed him.

It ignored the walls and passed through them as if they were just illusions, and apart from Yi Shuihan, no one else on Earth felt anything at all.

"What a strong strength!"

Yi Shuihan felt a sense of crisis. He could sense that if he were touched by this giant hand, his transmigration might be disrupted. The best-case scenario would be a successful transmigration with serious injuries, while the worst-case scenario would be a failed transmigration, resulting in him falling into the hands of this unknown entity.

Their strengths were so vastly different that Yi Shuihan was completely unable to put up any resistance and could only watch helplessly as the giant hand came crashing down upon him.

However, Yi Shuihan's character remained steadfast. Just as the giant hand was about to touch him, the transmigration finally began in full, and his body disappeared from this world.

"so close!"

Yi Shuihan felt his heart pounding with fear.

The scene before him had completely turned into chaos. Yi Shuihan knew that he would fall into a coma in the next moment, and then wake up in a new world.

Just before falling asleep, Yi Shuihan seemed to see a hand, much smaller than the giant hand from before, touch him. Before he could react to what was happening, he completely lost consciousness.

"Ding, the crossing has been interfered with. Activating power to eliminate the anomaly."

"Insufficient power, drawing power from the host..."

"Conflict successful, continue the journey..."

Chapter 725, Changes in the Portable Space

"meet……"

Opening his eyes, Yi Shuihan was still a little confused, his vision still somewhat blurry.

Then consciousness gradually returned, and the scenes that had happened before surfaced in his mind: the halo of the gods, signing the contract with Caitlin, Fiora's insults, the sudden giant hand, and the small hand he received just before losing consciousness in the chaos.

"Was it because of that last little hand? That's why you were so weak, but you still succeeded."

In previous transmigrations, Yi Shuihan always appeared in a new world unharmed. But this time was different. He could clearly feel that he had been unconscious for a period of time. It wasn't a coma protected by the system, but a coma caused by damage to his body.

After assessing his physical condition, Yi Shuihan realized that he was not in a particularly good state. It was as if his physical strength had been overused, leaving him feeling weak and listless.

Of course, this was just Yi Shuihan's feeling. In fact, he could easily run dozens of miles now, but he seemed much weaker compared to his peak period.

After a short while, he finally recovered and felt a wisp of immortal energy flowing through his body. Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I just need to rest for a while and I will fully recover. Well, at this rate of recovery, it will probably take about a year."

Yi Shuihan actually felt somewhat fortunate about his situation; it was only a year, which he could easily afford.

Even now, thinking back to that last moment, the sight of that little hand that crossed the world still fills him with lingering fear.

"Who on earth is it? Who has such a deep grudge against me? I don't remember ever offending any big shot! Wasn't the incident with Red Granite over?"

After much thought, Yi Shuihan still couldn't understand why that powerful figure, whom he had never even met, would attack him directly. Shouldn't a search party usually try to communicate first to see if there was any connection between them, and whether Yi Shuihan's existence was good or bad for the other party?

"Wait, no, it seems like I was the one who ran away first. The other person wanted me to be caught. If I were him, and I went to find a stranger, but just before we met, I found out that the other person had run away, so I would definitely react the same way! I would definitely think that the other person was guilty and would definitely want to catch up and ask them for clarification."

Suddenly slapping his forehead, Yi Shuihan gave a wry smile. Thinking about it, it really did make sense.

"After leaving the DC universe, the system also intercepted this halo of the gods, but its power was far less than it was in the DC universe. However, a significant portion of its origin was intercepted by the system."

If the divine halo or the status of the God of Contracts is a gun, then the primordial power is the bullet. Without the bullet, the gun is practically useless.

Back in the DC universe, with the aura of the gods, he had the logistics of a vast world and could use the power of the God of Contracts however he wanted. Now, however, he's like a warrior stranded on a deserted island, having to rely on himself for everything.

"This is the origin of a magazine, the kind that can be used six times!"

For some reason, this sentence popped into my mind.

He succeeded, yet failed. He succeeded because he managed to steal some of the essence from the DC world, but failed because the essence was far less than he had imagined.

“Holy Spirit, why is there so little of the source? At that time, I felt that I could mobilize at least several dozen portions of the source from the lower world! There should have been at least one portion retained.”

"Host, because you have only been the God of Contracts for a short time, you have not been able to influence enough of the origins. You left in too much of a hurry, so you did not achieve your maximum effect and only took away two portions of the world's origin."

"Two portions? I didn't mishear, did I? You didn't say 0.2, you said two portions."

"Yes."

"Then why are there so few now?"

"They were all consumed in the end. Please see the system log for details."

A few minutes later, Yi Shuihan finally understood why there was so little source energy. He himself was so weak for the same reason, because of that last little hand formed from source energy.

"Well, overall I still came out ahead, like that skill that I don't have to spend money on anymore."

"Host, I have to remind you of something. That's because it's in the DC world, and you're the God of Contracts, which is why you can use it. Now, unless you use the remaining primordial energy to completely make that skill your own, you'll still have to borrow it."

"Nani!?"

With a gasp, Yi Shuihan, skeptical, tried it out, only to tragically discover that the system was right.

"Isn't there even a single good piece of news?"

After a moment of silence, Yi Shuihan sighed softly.

Because he was too weak and felt a little thirsty, Yi Shuihan decided to take out a drink from his personal space.

"What the hell is this?"

The portable space has changed drastically. Yi Shuihan clearly remembers that it was completely different from the last time.

What's the difference? The portable space is filled with grass, some even over a meter tall, and you can even see a few big trees occasionally.

Yi Shuihan was absolutely certain that he had never been so bored as to put such an ordinary little grass in his personal space, and the same was true for the tree.

He wanted to throw the grass out, since his personal space, though large, wasn't a place to put such things. But then, a flash of light crossed his mind, and he suddenly stopped.

With an incredulous look on his face, Yi Shuihan continuously scanned the grass and trees that suddenly appeared in his personal space with his spiritual power.

"They grew naturally from the personal space!"

Upon arriving at this answer, Yi Shuihan was stunned. What did this mean? It meant that his personal space had taken a giant step towards becoming a real world. Right now it was just grass and trees, but wouldn't other creatures gradually appear in the future, making it a complete world?

Undoubtedly, this change is a great thing for the portable space and even for Yi Shuihan.

Once the personal space truly transforms into a world, it can continue to grow. It's even possible that one day it will become a large world like the DC universe. At that time, Yi Shuihan, who possesses such a world, will be incredibly powerful. He can fully mobilize the power of this world, and in this way, even if he has no cultivation, he can still exert gold-level combat power.

"Finally, some good news."

Chapter 726, Want some? No way!

After studying it carefully for most of the day, Yi Shuihan finally discovered the source of this change: what looked like an ordinary little stone was actually a small piece of red granulite.

"That thing is so powerful! This tiny bit of it has already caused my personal space to begin to transform? No wonder I attracted that great god when I put it away. It felt like that person was even stronger than the owner of the giant hand that appeared at the end."

Looking at the stone, which was less than half the size of a palm, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but sigh.

Honestly, if Yi Shuihan had known how powerful the Red Granite was back then, he might not have even bothered with the God of Contracts plan; he could have simply snatched the Red Granite and left.

Yi Shuihan knew that in order to evolve his personal space into a small world that could nurture life, he would need a portion of the world's origin, and this small piece of red granulite had this effect without any apparent consumption.

Compared to this, those large chunks of red granulite are simply priceless!

However, what Yi Shuihan didn't know was that if he really did that, he might not even be able to escape. That person with close ties to the company was truly unfathomable in strength.

Calming himself down, Yi Shuihan focused all his energy on his personal space, quietly sensing its changes. And indeed, sensing the transformation of his personal space had an indescribable benefit on him, and his own realm was improving.

"Quack!"

In the blink of an eye, it got dark, and the cawing of crows pulled Yi Shuihan out of his meditative state.

"I go!"

Only then did he begin to examine his surroundings closely, and he discovered that there were rows of graves not far away; it turned out that he was next to a cemetery.

“Holy Spirit, don’t you know the proper way to park? Don’t you feel it’s unlucky to park in a place like this?”

"This place is deserted, and the host is unconscious, which can prevent accidents from happening. It is very appropriate."

"..."

The system's words left Yi Shuihan speechless. After all, compared to waking up to find himself surrounded by a group of people, or on an operating table, or in a prison, being placed here was indeed much better.

"I don't feel much of the suppression this world exerts on me. I don't know if it's because I'm too weak right now, or if it's really a more advanced world."

The lack of physical energy has greatly reduced Yi Shuihan's combat strength. It is estimated that he can now perform at a level close to Bronze or Silver.

"The most urgent thing is to find a sacred mountain and a blessed land to fully restore my energy."

Actually, it wouldn't be impossible to restore things on the spot, but the nearby cemetery made Yi Shuihan want to leave. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he just felt subjectively uncomfortable.

Although he could still fly, Yi Shuihan chose to walk, saving as much energy as possible.

Taking a stride of over a hundred meters may seem slow, but the speed is actually quite fast.

Yi Shuihan followed his instincts. Wherever there was more spiritual energy, he went there without a specific direction. After all, he was new to this world and had no specific goal, so it was understandable that he went this way.

After walking for about two hours, a large waterfall appeared in front of Yi Shuihan, next to a peach grove. The beautiful scenery made him stop for the first time.

"A waterfall plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven."

Looking at the waterfall rushing down, Yi Shuihan was moved to speak.

"puff"

A fish nearly half a meter long jumped out of the stream flowing over the waterfall, and was then gently sucked and caught by Yi Shuihan.

"Brother is different. I can attract fish to come up and worship me just by reciting a poem. Well, since that's the case, I'll eat you and let you have your wish, so that you can become one with the great me."

He said this in a pretentious manner and was about to grill the fish when he accidentally met the fish's eyes and was instantly stunned.

"Am I seeing things? Those are tears! Has this fish become a spirit?"

Seemingly noticing Yi Shuihan's gaze, the fish's eyes began to fill with pleading, so sincere and earnest that the scene was quite bizarre.

"A world of immortals and heroes? A world of magic? In short, it's not a normal, ordinary world."

He didn't release the fish just because it was strange. With a flash of flame in his hand, he cooked the fish thoroughly. He added some seasonings, and the aroma filled the air.

I was thinking I could finally go to sleep after releasing the animals.

"Hmm, not bad, delicious. Indeed, the more spiritual something is, the more delicious it is."

He ate the fish while praising it.

Just as Yi Shuihan was enjoying his meal, a chubby-faced boy with bandages wrapped around his arm came running over.

"Gulu!"

The newcomer didn't say a word, just stared straight at Yi Shuihan, his mouth practically watering.

After glancing at him, Yi Shuihan decisively turned around, leaving the boy with only his back to her.
