Chapter 6: The First Sacrifice
Lou Cheng gathered the skeletons of the long axe skeleton together and placed them neatly according to a peculiar pattern.
He used the bone greatsword in his hand to carve an intricate pattern on the ground, fixing the position of the bones in the center of the pattern.
Invisible walls were erected, isolating the skeletons from the outside world.
After doing all this, Lou Cheng put away the white bone giant sword, bowed his head and knelt in a state of meditation, and recited the incantation in a low voice:
"I pray for the power of death;"
"I pray for eternal strength;"
"I pray for your favor."
"Juggernaut from the Infinite Dead Realm!"
"Please accept my offering, the glory of death belongs to you!"
This is a very strange language, Lou Cheng is very sure that he and the Lou Cheng who belongs to this world have not learned, but he can instinctively chant this strange language that is more difficult to pronounce than bird language, word for word.
It's as if he was born to be.
"Death Whisper", this is the name of the language that Lou Cheng now uses.
As the incantation echoed in his mouth, Lou Cheng suddenly felt a majestic, terrifying, and hidden power descending.
It is the purest force of death, which has nothing to do with good or evil, it is the original and purest force of death.
The black, gray power of death.
Great and ancient, irresistible.
The power of death, which covered the sky and the sun, instantly spread to Lou Cheng's entire consciousness world.
Compared to the huge and astonishing death power, Lou Ben's spiritual power was as small as a small snake.
After encountering the power of death, Lou Cheng's spiritual power suddenly seemed to have a chemical reaction.
That seemingly small spiritual power is like the stars in the night sky, shining with a light that is impossible to ignore.
Especially in that dark, gray brilliance, in the power of death.
His soul was stripped of in an instant.
It is a gray world without sky and earth, and the power of death is the only existence here.
Except for the familiar skull throne that sat in the center of Loucheng's line of sight.
It was frantically devouring the power of death around it.
It's just that Lou Cheng always felt that this skull throne was a little different from what he had seen before, but he couldn't say what the specific difference was.
The whole consciousness was vague but seemed to be very conscious......
I don't know how long it took, Lou Cheng finally regained his consciousness and regained control of his body.
At this time, Lou Cheng felt the emptiness and pain in his head.
Seeing that the Death Divine Seat in the center of Zhihai had been restored to its original state again, Lou Cheng couldn't afford to check its specific situation.
Although Lou Cheng had done similar sacrifices no less than seventy times since he was suddenly given this sacrificial circle by the Death God Throne a day ago, he still had a vague memory of the sacrifice process.
There seems to be a force that is thwarting him from remembering the specific process of the sacrifice.
The source of this power can be imagined.
"Don't look directly at God, don't look directly at high-level beings, you must remember this sentence!"
This is a maxim, or teaching, that has been passed down by various ancient professional families, including the Lou family.
With the continuous development of dungeons, humans now have a lot of understanding of the dimensional worlds that project dungeons.
A large part of it is about God, a powerful being above the king.
No one knows how strong God really is.
But everyone agrees that even the king of mankind is only a stronger ant in front of these gods.
In order to correspond to the gods, people have built a new realm of power - the throne.
Above the king is the throne.
It's just that until now, it seems that in the thousands of years of human history, there has never really been a throne.
For this point, many experts believe that there are still thousands of years of history before the appearance of the throne of mankind.
Now, of course, another statement is even more believing.
That is, the space of the earth cannot accommodate the existence of the throne at all.
The most intuitive proof of this is that none of the so-called gods had access to earthly space.
Even in the dungeons, these gods can only be manipulated by giving them a simple consciousness.
However, since a powerful god channeled his power to Earth more than a thousand years ago, a new class has appeared on Earth.
Priest - This new class of power gained through belief in gods has become the foundation of the religious power, which is another major force besides the aristocratic forces and the governments of the earth.
For more than a thousand years, various religions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
If it weren't for the fact that these priests belonged to different factions of gods, and they had irreconcilable contradictions with each other because of their different beliefs, their voice might have been more important.
But even so, the power of these priests is still not to be underestimated.
There is also a religion of gods in Los Angeles - the "Cult of the Gods of Death" that believes in Carmela, the god of death.
There are many cults of God in the name of the Death God Cult, at least seventeen or eighteen.
The Cult of the Dead God, which believes in Carmela, the god of death, is one of the most powerful and oldest, dating back more than 1,000 years to the early days of the gods.
It is said that the plane of death that alludes to the dungeon of the White Bone Garden is the main plane of Carmela, the god of death, and Los Angeles is the birthplace of this religion.
For this kind of ethereal thing, Lou Cheng doesn't believe it.
He knew, however, that there was indeed a special class at Los Angeles Vocational Academy that worshipped Carmela, the god of death.
Originally, Lou Cheng almost became a member of that special class.
After all, compared to the difficulty of awakening the knight, the difficulty of awakening to become a priest is relatively low.
Carmela's cleric will be able to transform into a special class Death Knight again in the later stages.
This is the only non-knight transfer route recognized by the Lou family.
Although the clansmen who took this route were not well received in the family, at least they would not be cleared.
It's a pity that something happened when Lou Cheng was just about to apply for a transfer class.
At that time, the students of a class in the third year of the Death God Cult class suddenly ran to the dungeon of the White Bone Dry Garden.
Their purpose is not to explore the dungeon at all, but to use the power of death in the dungeon world to achieve a mad goal for them.
Transform into the undead and become a true believer in Carmela, the god of death.
As a result, fifty-five young children were transformed into undead forms in just a few days without taking the Potion of the Undead, and remained in the dungeon of the Bone Dry Garden forever.
This crazy move frightened Lou Cheng.
He finally remembered another name for these religious priests—madmen.
Every priest is a madman, and if you're not crazy, you're not a good priest.
And Lou Cheng has no interest in becoming a madman.
This incident completely dispelled his last thought of joining the Death Cult.
