The two parties signed the treaty on the spot.
The treaty was notarized by the Value Game, guaranteeing its validity, unless the "Winner" had nothing better to do and diverted their attention from the future to this place.
But this was almost impossible.
The "Winner" would likely maintain an absolute stance in protecting this segment of history in the Value Game, and any life daring to alter this history even in the slightest would receive the most severe punishment.
It is like how a person who wins the grand prize in a lottery would not allow anyone to mess with the drawing sequence in the past.
Just as everyone was in high spirits, a Japanese military officer suddenly walked in and whispered into Shantian's ear.
Shantian's face instantly changed, and he made a gesture to the Onmyoji beside him.
The Onmyoji formed a hand seal, and a red Barrier spread out, covering the entire meeting room. After expanding, the barrier disappeared and became invisible to the naked eye.
"What's happening?" the ministers and nobles did not panic but quietly watched the other party finish all this.
After the Divine Adventure Guild appeared, anyone who could become a minister was definitely an expert.
"Sorry!" Shantian's tone was a bit urgent, "I just received a message, a mission appeared in the adventure guild, to find the Immortal Li Qianxia."
"Oh, this Iron-Level mission, I also received the news before coming here," said an adventurer.
"We must let her leave!" Shantian tried to speak in as calm a voice as possible, but it revealed an undeniable sense of anxiety, "An Immortal is equivalent to an Iron-Level adventurer in this world, and letting such a dangerous individual stay in this world is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Watch your tone," a gaunt noble coldly said.
"She doesn't need a Transmission Array," the Witch spoke.
"You should feel fortunate that it's her who has come," the Samurai said with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter.
The Prince was silent for a moment before speaking, "An Iron-Level adventurer is naturally more formidable than all of us, but what can she do alone?"
"She could destroy this world," Shantian said.
The meeting room fell silent.
"Give her the information," Shantian clenched his fists tightly, "Spread the information that this world has no Iron-Level adventurers, to make her leave immediately!"
"Destroy the world?" a noble leaned back in his chair and laughed contemptuously, "Do you know how big this world is? Even a Dragon Knight couldn't do it in a hundred years."
"Your Majesty, this might be an opportunity," a Heavy Armor warrior suddenly said.
The King signaled him to continue.
"From Shantian's reaction, the people of Earth fear the Immortal greatly," the Heavy Armor warrior glanced at the perspiring Shantian, "Since the Immortal is so powerful, let's duel with the Immortal and crush the enemy's spirit!"
"Duel?"
The Japanese were dumbfounded, and even the Samurai's eyes widened in shock.
The Prince smiled at the Japanese girl with a long sword at her waist and joked, "We're also very confident in the strength of our Dragon Knights."
Shantian appeared extremely flustered, and the Queen, unable to suppress her curiosity, asked him, "Mr. Shantian, do you know how strong an Immortal is?"
"No, the Immortal has never made a move, but..." Shantian didn't know what to say to convince them.
"The strength of a Dragon Knight is far beyond the Fifth Level, and we will give him the strongest Weapons, the best Armor, and the most powerful Magic Scrolls."
"Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. It can serve as a wake-up call for us, telling us to be more cautious when facing Earth," said a minister, after which everyone else started laughing.
"We don't care about winning or losing," the Prince smiled, "If we win, that's even better. Would your country be able to invite an Immortal for a duel?"
"Prince," Shantian hurriedly said, "the Earth Alliance will arrive tomorrow!"
"We'll close the teleportation gate now," a Mage hidden in a Magic Robe spoke up, "I'll give you a small, one-way Directional Transmission Array that only allows one person to teleport. Let Earth send their strongest Immortal."
"Mr. Shantian," the Queen's white and slender hands were intertwined, lightly supporting her chin, taunting him, "We won't set up an ambush at the exit of the Transmission Array."
"If we win," a minister said with a laugh, supplementing.
"I tried my best," another minister pretended to be annoyed and resigned, "but I still can't imagine the dragon knight losing."
There was another round of hearty laughter.
The queen waved her hand lightly, signaling them to be quiet, and she looked at Shantian, "Mr. Shantian, you will certainly bring an Immortal over, won't you?"
Shantian calmed down.
These people might not really care about the outcome of the gladiatorial fight, they just want to "catch" an Iron Level adventurer, they don't believe with the power of a whole country, they can't handle an Immortal.
He likewise gazed at the queen, "Must there be a duel no matter what?"
"Dueling is an honor," the queen replied.
"I understand," Shantian slowly answered, "I will make it happen."
After leaving the meeting room, Shantian ran into the princess again.
"Mr. Shantian, are you going back?"
"Yes," Shantian hesitated, "Princess, the war is about to start, you'd better go to the suburbs to take refuge."
The princess revealed a brilliant smile, "There is no safer place than the capital, it is the holy land guarded by the dragon knights."
Knowing their concepts were completely different, Shantian could only nod, and with the others, he rode in a carriage capable of flying towards the Japanese military base.
"What do we do now?" the Onmyoji asked.
Shantian let down the curtain, his face instantly turned ferocious, "These imbeciles! Fools with nothing but duels in their heads! We can't continue to work with them, we must report to the Cabinet immediately and establish contact with Xia Country!"
He had hoped to take this opportunity to enter another world, to break free from the control of the United States, but his plans were destroyed by these overbearing natives!
"Maybe," the witch whispered softly, "they really could kill an Immortal? With the power of a kingdom, if they prepare an ambush in advance, they might stand a chance, right?"
Shantian's expression softened slightly.
"Should we," the soldier looked around at everyone's faces, "support them? Like giving them a nuclear bomb? Some potent weapons?"
"In the end, we don't actually know how strong an Immortal is," the samurai reasoned, arms crossed, "we mustn't underestimate him, but we also can't deify him, we should always hold the intention to defeat him."
Shantian was persuaded into a moment of hesitation.
When he heard that the Erta Kingdom wanted to duel with an Immortal, as an Earthling, his first reaction was indeed one of sheer terror.
Now that he had calmed down, he couldn't help but wonder: Are Immortals truly that powerful? Are they truly unbeatable?
He was caught in a profound struggle, where a slight mistake could lead to unrecoverable ruin.
Shantian was not a player, nor had he registered with the Divine Adventure Guild, and he broke out into a cold sweat under the immense pressure.
He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, about to wipe his forehead when his eyes suddenly widened, frozen.
On that clean handkerchief, a few characters had appeared.
[As if treading on thin ice; As if approaching a deep abyss]
"What's wrong?" the Onmyoji looked towards Shantian.
"...It's nothing." Shantian completely calmed down, a chill running down his sweaty back.
Chinese, "Classic of Poetry·Little Elegies," who else could it be but Li Qianxia?
Was this a warning? No, it was a reminder to Japan.
Shantian trembled as he put away the handkerchief. In all the intelligence analysis from various countries, everyone agreed Li Qianxia was kind-hearted, and it proved true.
He pulled back the curtain again; the Erta Kingdom's capital shrank further away as the beautiful landscape of the otherworld spread luxuriantly across the Earth.
When you call upon the abyss, the abyss will come rushing towards you; what will this beautiful land become when the Immortal arrives?
