Chapter 521: Untouchable Lovers (22)
The thousands of thoughts in my mind are piled up in a haphazard manner.
Between the lightning and flint, a trace of hidden inspiration crossed his mind, pulling out the messy thoughts in his mind to a clue. Following this thread, dill quickly sorted everything out.
Extraordinarily sweet and tempting blood
For the fatal attraction of being subordinate to something dark
Special constitution and extraordinary five senses
Uncontrollable irritability and heartbeat
These seemingly unrelated traits seem to be harmoniously united in an identity –
Sacrifice.
A sacrifice to the god of light.
Just as he who is dedicated to the god of darkness must be the purest and most yang youth.
Sacrifices to the god of light must also be the purest and most yin maiden.
Sacrifice darkness with light, and sacrifice light with darkness.
Those things that seem contradictory can always find a reasonable integration at some special moment.
It's just that now, the major races that exist in the world have long since lost the glory of tens of thousands of years ago.
It is probably the decline that occurs in the continuation of the bloodline, or the weakening caused by strife and war. In short, the so-called supreme power among the major races today was nothing more than an extremely mediocre existence tens of thousands of years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, there was also the existence of the Temple of Light, but the difference is that it is dedicated to the legendary omnipotent God of Light.
Time passes, years change.
People's beliefs are also changing imperceptibly.
For example, for the light mages of thousands of years ago and today, they are more willing to worship the supreme power of their own clan than to live in a mythical ethereal god.
Correspondingly, they also seem to have abandoned the once ancient and bloody ** way of sacrifice.
Ten thousand years ago, no matter what race it was, in addition to preparing livestock and food, it would also offer young men and girls of different races when worshipping the gods.
The whole sacrificial process was extremely bloody and cruel.
A week in advance, the boys and girls who were used for the sacrifice were sent to the temple.
In the temple, these sacrifices were stripped of their hands and tendons so that they could not struggle before God and appear obedient.
Their tongues would be cut off so that they could not speak before God and avoid speaking words that touched the spirit.
Their eyes would be gouged out so that they could not convey emotions with their eyes so that their gaze would not be offensive to God.
These are just the first steps.
Next, in order to keep the sacrifice clean, the priests would wash it from the inside out.
They attached their magical power to tiny silver needles, and pierced the sacrificial body deep into the body of the sacrifice.
The power of magic would flow down the tip of the silver needle into the body of the sacrificer, and it would flow through the veins around them over and over again.
The cleaning process is extremely lengthy, lasting up to five days and nights.
In addition to the day before, after the cleaning was completed, there was only one day left before the day of the sacrifice.
In order to make the sacrifice appear in its freshest and most perfect posture before the gods, on this day the priests would make the shape of a tongue out of the purest gold, stuff it into the mouth of the sacrifice, and force it to fit into the broken mouth of the base of the tongue with the power of magic.
They would grind the brightest gems into rounded beads and insert them into the hollows of the sacrifice's eyes, and they would also use magic to make them merge with their eye sockets.
As for the dense holes on the body of the sacrifice that were pierced by silver needles
