Chapter 550 - The Outcome Is Fated (1/2)

Chapter 550 - The Outcos Daniel had learned about the multiverse since he had arrived at the site of the Exalted asseorized and separated into stages But es were not indicative of as inside theree of influence the domains that owned had on theed to either one of two categories-Unaware, and aware universes An unaware universe was a universe that had yet to naturally develop a preference in its aspects of existence These universes were off limits to any domain, and could not be entered without severe restrictions to one's cultivation An exain, which had existed as an unaware universe until the Murderous God had exposed it to the multiverse

Once exposed to the rest of the ory, and its life as an active part of the es of such a universe were the Contested, Owned, and Consued the universes that had just become aware of the multiverse, and was indicative of the span of tiher natural influence would be allowed to send their e the influence of the aspect they represented over any other, clai it for their domain Once a winner was decided, the universe would be considered an Owned one

The last stage of an aware universe was the Consue, which was used to indicate any universe whose source of influence had been exhausted during time An example of this, were the universes of War's do the aspect of War pure influence Once war consumed all life in that universe, the domain would either be stripped of its natural resources, or would undergo forced repopulation, so that in a few thousand years war could rage on once again The universes that were used to bet during these kinds of events were usually of this kind

What was incomparable in value to a consumed universe, was an untouched one-a recently owned universe that had yet to be exploited by its nener, and was full of both life and resources Contrary to their older counterparts, recently gained universes represented the most valuable part of a domain's territory

”An untouched universe” entle to s the lump that had formed in his throat

Si cultivators, ould have bursted out shouting if they didn't fear the power that was behind Daniel Instead, they could only bury their words under a surprised gasp, and watch with dejection

Daniel had expected this reaction It wasn't everyday that a universe would open to the multiverse, and even rarer was the event where an untouched universe would go to a h one For that reason, the number of untouched universes that each of the present doers of one hand, which said a lot about their value And yet, Daniel's comprehension over the essence of spacetime was unique

”I understand, comprehension over an essence isn't comparable to an untouched universe, but my domain requires a universe, and this is all I have to bet” Daniel said with feigned e the orb of spaceti, I will trade this privately with the one who makes me the best offer”

Daniel's intentions were clear While within the exalted assembly even enemy domains had to be respectful of rules, rivalries still existed-The idea that a rival could obtain Daniel's co that no do to accept, as with it, anyone would be able to easily outperform its competition whenever a contested universe would appear

Within the crowd one could see dozens of hands being slowly raised, but before anyone could say a word, the raucous voice of a hout the ring shaped pocket of space, ”Ah, you didn't give us the chance to accept We are not all cowards I'll take your bet” He said while h the crowd

Daniel inized this man as the cha into the fight between his juniors, and the chaain” Daniel said with a polite tone that matched an equally polite smile ”Do you want to add any conditions to this bet?”

A grin suddenly appeared on the face of the champion of War

While the stakes of Daniel's bet were extreh by any standards, the reason why he andto accept it ,was because Daniel's side had chosen to let Ashura fight, a cultivator at the early stages of high ie, this was akin to put a beetle against a gladiator, and bet their entire fortune on the beetle In their mind this bet was so absurd, that the only explanation for why Daniel would even consider it, was likely because he was hoping in the assistance of his lord, Karma himself-like everyone believed he had done in the past

Luckily, unbeknownst to Daniel, these do ”I have only one We swear to respect the outcome in front of Lord Fate” Said the champion of War confidently

After a brief confused look, Daniel offered his palm to the champion of war, and said, ”I will follow your lead”

The smirk on the champion's face widened ”The domain of War accepts the bet of the domain of Karma The outcome is fate, and fate is undeniable”

Known as a Fateful contract, this oath was used to guarantee that an agree to respect its terainst the entirety of Fate's domain, as at that point, they would not only have failed to respect an agreement, but rejected Fate itself

As the cha, Daniel noticed the dejected expressions on the faces of ed man had done what they all wished to do, but without any hesitation
