Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Architecture and Contractor
Shen Hao reopened the reward interface and carefully read through all the awards.
Choose five out of seven, needing to eliminate two. To Shen Hao, the only hesitation was whether to choose the Golden Legendary Equipment or one hundred Chosen One slots.
With the “Ability Ball Furnace External,” he would hardly lack powerful ability balls, but there was no stable way to acquire Golden Legendary Equipment yet, and he still mostly used the White Equipment purchased from the White Mall.
The only piece of Purple Epic equipment he could use was the Moonlight Mirror, obtained from a Level 11 Blood Demon Commander.
He had already experienced its power.
On the other hand, one hundred Chosen One slots seemed of little use since, at this stage, he was able to command all of humanity’s Chosen Ones.
Still, Shen Hao had some hesitation.
“Let’s pick the others first,” he did not get too tangled up in it.
He began to choose with anticipation.
First was the ability bar, which added two new slots to the Chosen One panel without any fuss.
Now he could equip five abilities.
Next up were the Chosen One buildings.

The moment he chose, the display dazzled again, and one bizarre building after another, each radiating streams of light, materialized until it settled on a tower structure emanating a purple glow.
Relevant information appeared alongside it.
[Name: Warren Mage Tower]
[Quality: Purple Epic]
[Level: 1 (33)]
[A legendary tower built by the powerful elemental Warren Mage, who spent his life’s energy and fortune creating it. It contains all of Warren’s wisdom and significantly enhances the combat abilities of mage Transcendents while also serving as a prime magic research facility. When a powerful Mage Tower and a powerful mage come together, it will become a nightmare for all enemies.]
[Note 1: The Mage Tower is currently in a locked state; you need to explore and unlock it on your own]
[Note 2: The core Magic Spirit of the Mage Tower had all its memories erased]
“Is this the Chosen One building?” Shen Hao looked at the structure, feeling it exceeded his expectations.
Not to mention the “33” after the level, which already denoted the original tier of the building.
This was not something that buildings within the Pocket World Blessed Land could compare to.
Shen Hao had no doubt that if he could unlock all the levels of the Mage Tower, it would unleash formidable power.
More importantly, he was confident he could take control and unlock it.
Using [Sovereign] Talent in such a place might yield unimaginably potent results.
“I wonder if it can be moved. I need to choose a good location,” Shen Hao even thought about securing a safe place for his parents or other key individuals inside the Mage Tower if needed.
Regardless, the strength of the Chosen One building made Shen Hao look forward even more to the subsequent Contractor draw slots.
Although he wasn’t sure of the probability of drawing a high-quality Contractor, based on the building’s scenario, earning a Purple Epic building without any tricks suggested that the probability might not be low and might also be related to his evaluation level.
Shen Hao didn’t hesitate and directly chose to receive the Contractor drawing slot.
The interface flowed again the next moment, this time showing creatures glowing with various colors.
Some resembled humans, but most were non-human, ranging from humanoid to various types of giant Extraordinary Creatures.
As it finally settled, a dazzling golden light emerged!
“Eureka?” Shen Hao widened his eyes slightly, showing a surprised expression.
Without any tricks, he didn’t have high hopes for his luck; he had only hoped for at least a Purple quality like the building, but never expected a Golden Legendary Contractor to appear.
This was pure luck!
It must be said, compared to cheating by locking the probability, lucking out like this instead gave him a sense of striking it big.
This time I really didn’t cheat!
“But, is this… an Angel?” Shen Hao looked at the portrait that appeared on the screen.
Besides the intricate patterns near the eyes, she had a human-like face and figure, and was a highly attractive female, but the real focus was the pair of wings on her back, one black and one white, giving the portrait itself a strong sense of impact.
More detailed information then appeared.
[Name: Erin Ellie]
[Quality: Golden Legend]
[Level: 1 (40)]
[Originating from a powerful Extraordinary Civilization, she’s an individual at the top of both strength and Talent within her civilization, naturally possessing two souls. Erin, who follows the Path of Death, and Ellie, who follows the Path of Life, are like the opposite sides inside a mirror. Until their last breath, they could not work together in harmony, which might be their greatest regret.]
[Note 1: After death, the Soul signed a contract with the Civilization Trial to voluntarily become a prize for the winners.]
[Note 2: Some knowledge is locked along with levels and will gradually be unlocked as one levels up.]
[Note 3: The pact is absolute; the Contractor cannot be harmed by the contracted, but be cautious, they might be uncontrollable.]
“Twin souls?”
Shen Hao had finished reading the detailed introduction and was somewhat disappointed.
He actually wanted a powerful and cool mount more.
However, having pulled a Golden Legendary level summon was already incredibly lucky, so he couldn’t be too greedy.
The next moment, as the summoning began, a golden vortex appeared before him, and an angel wearing black and white war armor and wielding a weapon in each hand appeared before Shen Hao.
It was then that Shen Hao realized, she was much taller than he had anticipated.
She was two meters tall!
Though her proportions were perfect, such height was uncommon among humans.
At the same time, a strange feeling surged within Shen Hao’s heart.
It was a soul pact.
It was not like Talent, fully fused with the soul, but still a pact engraved upon the soul.
At that moment, the angel before him opened her eyes.
One black and one white, her two pupils each bore a different color, and Shen Hao could clearly feel that he was being observed by two souls!
“Are you our Summoner?”
Even two voices emerged simultaneously; one was icy cold, the other contained warmth.
They were not speaking human language, but through the pact, Shen Hao could understand their words and even their emotions.
At this time, one of the two souls seemed to make no effort to hide its dissatisfaction.
“Why such a low level, have you just passed your first Trial? Did you just pull me out by luck?”
Shen Hao did not speak, his eyebrows raised.
The next moment, the expressions of the “angels” changed drastically!
They felt an overwhelming suppression!
Even more exaggerated and severe than feeling the Dominator pressure directly!
Because through the soul pact, they had gazed directly into Shen Hao’s soul!
Cosmic Level status, so clearly impacting everything about them!
They couldn’t even maintain their bodily forms upright, and at the moment their souls hadn’t even reacted, they had already prostrated themselves, their wings wrapping around their bodies, their originally proud heads uncontrollably trembling, even tears streaming down, their spirits nearing their limits!
And Shen Hao confirmed his suspicion.
Contractors also belong to his power! How could they not be controlled, not be dominated?
What was originally just an absolute existence, was now utterly different before his Talent; should he wish, he could erase any part of their consciousness, directly control their bodies, and all their power!
“Thus, professions like Summoner do seem well-suited to the ‘Sovereign’ Talent.” Shen Hao thought, then looked again at the Contractor before him, finally reining in his suppression to prevent them from truly collapsing.
After all, even though his status was still very low, his Cosmic Level status was genuinely undeniable.
Ordinary people wouldn’t have the ability to see the essence of Shen Hao’s soul, but the soul pact qualified them; it wasn’t unlike staring directly at a vile god, twisting consciousness with a single glance.
“Are you both Chosen Ones?” Shen Hao also discovered some matters that were somewhat unexpected, yet seemed logical.
“Yes.” The same two voices answered, this time with a visible tremble.
“Next time, don’t answer at the same time, let Ellie answer.” Shen Hao asked again, “Do you both have Purple Epic level Talent? Such good luck?”
Through complete control over the pact, he could discern many things.
For instance, these two souls, though closely linked, nearly inseparable, seemed to exist as two individuals in their Civilization Trial, each possessing their own Talent, but what truly surprised Shen Hao was that both of their Talents were of Purple Epic level.
That was something luck couldn’t explain.
“Answer… Master.” Ellie, the one who had followed the Path of Life with a cold voice, was clearly in great shock, but still tremblingly responded, “Initially, we were both just White Talents, but after passing through four Trials, we upgraded our Talent quality to Purple… We fell at the fifth Trial.”
Indeed, their civilization had passed through no less than four Trials!
That related somewhat to the inherent strength of their civilization, but they still perished in the fifth Trial.
Choosing to become Contractors was also driven by dissatisfaction and regret.
Even though their civilization had been destroyed, they wanted to witness the day when the Civilization Trial was completely conquered.
But they never expected the one who summoned them would be a possessor of a Mythical Talent!
