In a room in Isabella's palace, Yi Qiu was sitting cross-legged on the floor.

There was still some time before the start of the tournament, and he was already rested.

This is due to his growing meditation skills, which allow him to stay vigorous for a shorter period of time.

And the acquisition of an ageless body seems to make his need for sleep even rarer.

Yi Qiu stretched out his right hand, and under the golden gaze of the Heavenly Eye, there was a thin silver thread on his wrist:

This is a variant of the Alliance Oath and is not much different from the Alliance Pact in terms of function.

But there is a very big difference in its binding strength.

The conventional alliance oath is witnessed by some powerful god or some great being of an equal nature, but this contract is determined by the will of both parties.

In general, this oath is not too binding.

For Yi Qiu, the constraints of the contract he needs to endure come from Isabella's will to abide by the contract.

If she keeps the contract, then the oath will be able to secure some binding force on it.

But if she tried to break it, then her contractual bindings on Yi Qiu's side would be weakened, and then completely broken.

However, this will not cause the oath on her body to disappear, and she will need to fully absorb the power of the oath on her body.

The content of the oath signed by Yi Qiu and Isabella was not complicated, but simply limited the two camps to at least neutrality.

The contract is terminated after one party has acted hostilely against the other.

Perhaps its greatest value lies in the fact that allies can summon each other once every 1 calendar day.

In a sense, Yi Qiu felt that this contract was somewhat similar to the Dragon Covenant or something.

However, Yi Qiu does not need jewelry or gold, and there are no restrictions on the contract.

In other words, Yi Qiu can choose to respond to the call or refuse.

Isabella's statement was that if she needed it, she would pay Yi Qiu for her extraordinary knowledge.

As a royal descendant of an empire, she has more than enough resources in this regard.

She knew that what Yi Qiu needed was not those magical equipment or other materials, but more about those more profound and powerful skills.

Yi Qiu touched his bald head, although there was a subtle sense of immediacy.

However, the insight of fate gave him some premonitions, so he finally agreed.

Of course, Isabella's final proposal was for the entire transcendent empire, which was obviously directly rejected by Yi Qiu.

He doesn't deny that a powerful empire can help him somewhat, but it's clear that it can cause more trouble.

In fact, as his spiritual world deepened, he had no interest in such forces, organizations, or kingdoms.

What he cares more about is his own will and strength.

And sometimes, these things start to get muddy when they are mixed with power.

Maybe it will become more shining, but for Yi Qiu, it is still worth the loss.

It seems great and interesting to assemble a kingdom that combines its own will.

But for Yi Qiu, it was not his path, nor was it what he loved.

Just like encountering a half-truncated log on a road, a person walking independently can go straight, a cyclist can easily get around, but a person driving a car requires more effort.

This is just a simple and not so precise metaphor, but to a certain extent, it can already reflect this inevitable contradiction.

Interests and risks, authority and responsibility, are always hand in hand.

When they appear independently and disjointedly, often in the dark behind them, scarlet eyes are staring at it all......

"Welcome to the Canyon Championship Extraordinaire Regional Finals, I'm Anna, the host!"

In an oval-shaped half-plane, at the center of the plane, the human female Anna Gillam, the celestial celestial singer, is looking ahead with a charming smile.

With the help of magical powers, her face and voice are perfectly transmitted to any viewer who gazes at her.

As a grand event in the multiverse, although the qualifications for participation in the final audience are limited.

But at this moment, the entire half-plane was still filled with a dense audience.

There are also more audiences who are observing remotely through various channels of the comprehensive network.

The viewer is located in the outer circle of the elliptical half-plane, and at the core of the entire half-plane there is a huge area shrouded in a golden light curtain.

This is where the finalists will face off!

Anna Gillam, the Celestial Singer, is located on a suspended platform above the battlefield.

In addition to her as the host, there are also several referees in robes on the entire platform.

They were all sent by the Church of the Final Scythe, and one of them was a Judge who had reached the Legendary level.

The Final Scythe is a neutral church whose main doctrine is judgment and judgment.

There were rumors that they had something to do with the goddess of wealth, but it was later confirmed to be a rumor.

And this ultimately created the current status of the final scythe, of course, this is naturally inseparable from the god system that held the canyon battle.

After all, the god that the ultimate scythe worships belongs to one of them.

"Today, eight teams will decide the winner here......

With the voice of Anna Gillam, the celestial singer of the stars, the images of all the teams were projected above the canopy of the half-plane.

And when the audience focuses on any one team, they will get the team's record and current hero information.

By this time, all the contestants had entered a completely enclosed waiting area.

In order to prevent the appearance of certain special abilities that may cause some extraneous effects, the Grand Final of the Canyon Championship does not have a player speaking agenda.

At the end of the competition, the winner will have the opportunity to speak to the entire audience.

This is an unprecedented opportunity for some players who can gain power through fame and recognition.

Until now, however, there have been very few players in this category who have been able to emerge victorious in the Grand Finals of Canyon Tournament.

The format of the Grand Finals is not fancy for the Grand Final, and all teams will choose the winner through up to three tournaments.

It is said that the God of Judgment was unhappy with this, believing that such a brutal approach did not guarantee complete fairness.

However, considering that luck is also a powerful force and the negotiation of related gods in several god systems, this rough format is still continued in the end.

And as everyone cheered through the entire plane, the finals of the canyon tournament began......
