"I don't need to commit to doing something for your Ten Thousand Paths Pavilion for ten cosmic epochs?"
Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of surprise as he immediately inquired.
"No need."
The Eye of Myriad Laws shook its head.
"No other requirements then?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat taken aback.
"There is a requirement," said the Eye of Myriad Laws.
"Then state it," Lin Yuan said, his heart settling down.
"My next request requires no binding method whatsoever, not even causal consequences," the Eye of Myriad Laws stared at Lin Yuan. "I need a promise from you: under the condition that it does not go against your own will and is within your ability, should the Ten Thousand Paths Pavilion seek your help in the future, I ask you to assist us just once."
"That simple?"
Lin Yuan's expression was marked with astonishment.
A promise devoid of any binding force, detached even from causality, meant Lin Yuan could agree or refuse in the future entirely at his discretion.
