As the spiral gate shimmered open, the Infinite Sect stepped into a realm unlike any they had known.
There was no sky in the Verdant Lunar World—only floating moons suspended in endless green twilight. Each moon pulsed with its own gravity, atmosphere, and time flow. Between them, glowing vines connected islands of bioluminescent jungle and whispering temples.
Rheos, now wearing a long coat of translucent light, smiled faintly.
> "This realm exists in layers of contracts," he said. "Each moon has a will. Each path is an agreement."
Huzaifa nodded, feeling the thick contractual qi pressing around them.
> "What's the nature of its power?" he asked.
> "Obligation," Rheos replied. "Your intention is law, but only if the world accepts your vow."
The moons began to pulse—acknowledging his arrival.
> System: Domain Entry Confirmed – Verdant Lunar World. New laws identified: Divine Oathbinding, Chrono-Contract, Willful Terrain.
> "Let the games begin," MIRA said, already analyzing the nearest moon's frequency.

The first moon to lower a vine-bridge was Vowroot, a silver forest-world with crystalline trees that echoed spoken words.
At its heart stood the Trial of Three Vows—a temple where cultivators were bound to speak only truth, and every declaration shaped reality.
Su Lin stepped forward first.
> "I vow to never follow a path not chosen by my heart," she said.
Her body glowed. Her cultivation surged upward.
Another disciple tried to fake their vow.
The temple shattered his core.
Then Huzaifa stepped in.
> "I vow to change every world I touch."
The temple shuddered.
Reality around him warped—and a new structure emerged behind the temple: a throne of vines and silver flame.
> Verdant Moon Recognition: Huzaifa Ahmad, Worldwalker. Title Earned: The Unbound Oath.
> "You made a moon evolve," MIRA whispered.
> "It listened," he replied.

The second moon—Ashfell—descended with a blizzard of lunar ash.
It was home to the Oathbeasts, creatures born from broken promises and sealed by starlight.
To tame one was to rewrite a lie into a truth.
Disciples of the Infinite Sect spread across the forested ridges. Su Lin confronted a jagged, wolf-like creature with seven mouths and a chained core.
> "I failed to protect my sister," she whispered. "I won't fail again."
The beast lunged.
She held her ground.
Her oath flared.
The chains shattered.
The beast knelt.
Elsewhere, Yuyan faced a draconic serpent who echoed his every failed sword technique.
> "Every mistake is my foundation," he declared.
The serpent coiled into his blade.
Huzaifa, meanwhile, stood before the Moonfire Forge.
> "Construct blade using oath-infused intent?" MIRA asked.
> "No," he said. "Construct the truth."
He drew from his soul.
A blade formed—spiral-shaped, endlessly shifting.
> Weapon Acquired: Infinite Edge.
The moon roared.

Not all entities in the Lunar World welcomed Huzaifa.
A being known as The First Contract stirred on the highest moon—an ancient entity bound to maintain balance.
> "He rewrites what was written in gold," it hissed. "His name is a violation."
It sent a Pact Envoy, a masked cultivator who could force spiritual contracts with a glance.
The envoy appeared before Huzaifa with a scroll of Realm Sanction.
> "Sign, or be unbound," the envoy intoned.
Huzaifa didn't even look at the scroll.
> "You want control," he said. "But you've forgotten what contracts are for."
He wrote a counter-seal in air.
> "I contract with nothing. I am the agreement."
The scroll burst into green flame.
The Pact Envoy disintegrated into dust, screaming.
Rheos chuckled.
> "The last time someone did that, a sun blinked out."
> "Then let stars watch closely," Huzaifa said.
---
The final moon opened—Elunari, a world of memory and echo, where forgotten truths became real.
Huzaifa entered alone.
Time fractured.
He saw himself—past lives, alternate selves, each caught in a moment of struggle.
A boy failing to save a friend. A warrior choosing vengeance over peace. A god giving up his divinity.
Each reached out to him.
He stepped into the center of the altar.
> "I am not your failure," he whispered. "I am your completion."
Elunari pulsed.
All echoes fused into him.
> System: Multiversal Echo Integration complete. New Function Unlocked: Temporal Self-Reclamation.
> "What does it mean?" MIRA asked when he returned.
> "It means I'll never be divided again," he said. "Not by time. Not by doubt."
And the Lunar World bowed.
