Chapter 1644 – Beware of Chang’an City!

　　”I don’t know what kind of existence you’re talking about, the Cthulhu Gods, but there’s no doubt that the [Holy Covenant] also possesses an upper limit.”

　　Chloe said seriously, “First of all, the [holy covenant] can only work on the person who concludes it, and can’t be extended to a third party …… For example, lending back ten taels of silver is the covenant between me and you, and no matter how things develop in the process, it will only be centered around the two of you and me.

　　But if I were to conclude a [holy covenant] with you and ask Zhang San to return the ten taels of silver to you at noon tomorrow, it could not be done because Zhang San is not involved in this [holy covenant].

　　Similarly, I cannot conclude a [holy covenant] with you to determine the life and death of another person or race …… Unless, I personally conclude a [holy covenant] with them to make them self-destruct, but it is impossible for them to agree to that.”

　　”On top of that, to trigger the [Holy Covenant], a large amount of faith needs to be consumed …… I don’t know what the contents of the other two [Holy Covenants] are, but just to cross two thousand years of time back into the past for this one [Holy Covenant], it would require an extremely terrifying amount of faith power to be consumed.

　　Just this one [Holy Covenant] alone might require me to spend hundreds of years collecting faith before I can possibly send you back sometime in the future.”

　　Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.

　　The [Holy Covenant] could only work on the person who concluded it, and activating the [Holy Covenant] would require the power of faith as a consumption.

　　No wonder Yelander had to choose Chloe as an agent ……This rumored 001 was indeed infinitely close to omnipotence, but without the power of faith as support, it would simply be difficult to exert its great power, while Chloe’s special physique that was able to make the creatures around her unconsciously believe in her would be a perfect fit for this ability.

　　If you want to utilize the stronger power of the [Holy Covenant], you have to create a mega religion to provide Yelander and Chloe with a constant supply of beliefs, and the Western Holy Religion is most likely to be born as a result of this.

　　But in this era, the Holy Religion doesn’t seem to have appeared …… that is to say, at this time, Yelander’s power is still far from reaching the peak level, naturally it is impossible to go to seal the Clay System Gods.

　　”Then how should I go back?”

　　”I don’t know.” Chloe spoke helplessly, “This [holy covenant] is only responsible for sending you back, how you go back is none of its business……. To be clear in advance, I simply don’t have enough faith right now to send you back two thousand years later.

　　In this era, the only thing that might send you back is perhaps that second [Holy Covenant].”

　　Lin Qiye looked down at the second mark on his chest with a somewhat complicated expression.

　　If it was really as Chloe said, sending him back to the [Holy Covenant] from two thousand years ago would require consuming hundreds of years of accumulated faith, then even if he waited for the current Chloe to be able to send him back, he would have to wait until hundreds of years from now……. The only thing that he could count on right now was the content of the agreement made in this second [Holy Covenant], which was a return ticket for his return to the modern era from Western Han.

　　”The curfew is about to start, and it’s time for you to go back.” Chloe slowly spoke.

　　Lin Qiye glanced at the sky outside, it was already almost completely plunged into pitch black, those red-colored stars hung high above the night sky, the light of one of them was especially blinding.

　　”You guys will all be staying in Chang’an for the last few days, right?” Lin Qiye asked.

　　”Well, wait until the effects from those stars subside before we move on to the next place, if you have any problems, just come back here to find me.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded and took a step and headed out of the house.

　　After talking to Chloe, a lot of things Lin Qiye had already figured out, that Han Dynasty ancient scroll in the Night’s Watch top secret appeared with his name, the future Chloe choosing him to conclude the [holy covenant], and the words that Huo Zaiwei had spoken to him when he was at the bottom of the National Luck Sea Island …… All of this pointed to the fact that there had been a crossover between him and Western Han .

　　However, Lin Qiye hadn’t yet figured out if his behavior in this period of history was predestined? Is what he did an inherent part of history, or will it directly change the direction of the future?

　　Was it the “cause” of the past that created the “effect” of the future, or was it the “cause” of the future that changed the “effect” of the past? Or is it the “cause” of the future that changes the “effect” of the past?

　　The cause and effect relationship between the past and the future was like a mess of threads that made Lin Qiye’s mind swell, but more questions were still popping up in his mind.

　　That future Chloe, why did she send him to Western Han even though she had spent hundreds of years collecting faith?

　　Was it something to do with those red-colored stars? Or did she want him to change something in this era?

　　Just as Lin Qiye was pondering hard, a mournful scream suddenly cut through the silence and echoed under the sky of Chang’an!

　　Lin Qiye turned his head and looked, only to see that near the city gates of Chang’an, a huge fire had already blazed up, the firelight reflecting off the night sky, and the miserable screams continuously resounding from within the city.

　　What happened?

　　Evil spirits hit the city?

　　Lin Qiye furrowed his brows, not caring about the curfew rules, he directly turned into a shadow and rushed towards the direction of the fire.

　　With Lin Qiye’s speed, crossing half of Chang’an was just a matter of breaths, the gusty wind whistled past his ears, and in a short while, he saw two groups of people fighting madly before the blazing fire!

　　The costumes of these two groups of people were not the same, one group of people’s attire Lin Qiye had seen before, they were members of the 30,000 expeditionary army that had followed Huo Zaiwei back to Chang’an, while the other group of people wore special armor that looked like the Feathered Forest Army that was already stationed in Chang’an.

　　At this city gate, the number of the expeditionary army, which was far more than the Feather Forest Army, were each holding a weapon, swarming through the city gate, staring at the Feather Forest Army that was weaving through the battlefield, as if they were red-eyed with murder, roaring with rage and not hesitating to harvest the lives of the Feather Forest Army.

　　The corpses of the Feather Forest Army fell, and blood instantly dyed a corner of Chang’an red, their defense line was directly torn through several gaps by the expeditionary army, retreating, and a large number of the expeditionary army had already managed to break into the city, charging towards Chang’an.

　　Unlike the angry looks of the expeditionary army, the expressions of these feathered troops were filled with dismay and horror, they seemed to be unable to understand even if they thought about it, why would the expeditionary army suddenly attack the city?

　　Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed as his figure crashed directly into the middle of the battlefield, holding the long spear of an expeditionary soldier with his bare hands.

　　This soldier Lin Qiye recognized, when he was escorting the army back to Chang’an at the tail, the other party even spoke a few words to him, in Lin Qiye’s impression, he was a relatively quiet man, but now he looked as if he had killed his eyes, his expression was hideous.

　　”What are you guys doing? Who told you guys to rebel?!” Lin Qiye asked in a deep voice.

　　”Rebellion? Lord Lin, we didn’t rebel!” The soldier’s eyes widened as he stretched out his blood-covered hand and pointed at Chang’an City behind Lin Qiye, “Lord Lin! You quickly hide behind us! Be careful of the Feather Forest Army and the people in Chang’an City!

　　They …… they have all been topped by monsters! They aren’t even human!!!”
