Walker Of The Worlds

It wasn't often that a king would allow such an oath to be taken, not to mention taking it himself. This went against all that was considered usual for the royalty and kings. One could count on one hand the number of kings who had ever done this.

There were oaths taken by kings sure, but they were taken among others of equal or higher status. And thus, the court members were left speechless. Only after a minute of silence did someone speak.

"I volunteer too!" one of the generals spoke.

"I do too!" A junior minister spoke.

"I shall take the oath as well!" Another minister joined in.

One by one, hands rose up as more and more people joined. In the end, each and every person was ready to take the oath and this put a smile on the face of the King and even Lin Mu, who had not expected this.

'I thought there would be at least some resistance among them, but looks like the new people that were chosen were perfect for it and the ones that were not corrupted were good from the start.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Excellent! With our unity, we shall either rise through the calamities or die trying!" The king exclaimed, sending waves of excitement across the hall.

He then looked at Lin Mu, prompting him to turn a bit serious.

"Senior Lin Mu, since times immemorial when oaths as big as these were taken, the eldest or the strongest person would act as the officiator. Would you please grant us the honor of being one?" King Hong asked.

Lin Mu was a bit stunned and didn't speak when suddenly Xukong's voice rang in his mind.

"Do it," Xukong spoke.

"You sure, senior? But I'm not the oldest here?" Lin Mu asked.

"That is just a formality. In reality, anyone can act as the officiator, but the strength of the officiator does decide how strong the oath will be as well. While most people think oaths are unbreakable, it is not so.

There are certain methods that can be used to nullify them, and one can break them. Then there are also some methods that allow one to bypass them while keeping an oath intact.

Gu Yao or the powers backing them have such means, but it would be better to be cautious."
