Chapter 416: Hole Cards
The top of the stone tower. It is already a different dimension from normal time and space! The position under the priests is a platform with a radius of 100 meters, and in the middle of the altar stands a huge statue about 100 meters high! The human body is snake-tailed, holding a scepter in his left hand and a sword in his right hand! Dressed in a heavy strange-shaped battle armor, the size of a palm, the mysterious and inexplicable symbols are engraved on it.
Looking up, everywhere you look, there is black that merges with the void! Black ground, black sacrifices, black statues! And thousands of meters above the statue's head, there was a spherical black cloud that stood still!
Hundreds of priests lined up in a neat queue and stood silently in front of the statue.
They are all high-level sacrifices of the Yanwei Tribal Alliance, judging by the breath, there are almost no existences below the Youhuang Commander! Most of them are powerful existences of the Fourteenth or Fourteenth Order! Especially the first few of them, they turned out to be peerless cultivators at the level of the Brilliant God King!
This is the essence of the Yanwei civilization, and any one of them is a powerful existence on the Megatron side, but now they are gathered together to pay their heartfelt reverence to that statue in the most humble manner!
After a long time, an old man with an extremely thin body, as if he was about to die of age, opened his mouth and asked, "Respected Patriarch Gulrinaya, have you really not changed your mind anymore?" ”
The voice was hoarse, shrill and mixed with bursts of forcibly suppressed coughs, as if it had been overwhelmed by this simple question.
A female Yanwei with a bewitching and plump body, blue hair pouring down like a waterfall, and a bewitching purple pupil stepped forward and replied respectfully and resolutely: "Your Excellency the wise High Priest of Mudgram, the chaos in the Star Sea World has started, and great changes are about to brew in the human race!" The demons on the other side of the starry sea will also invade this starry sky in the near future! ”
"Even our eternal allies are now planning to gain as much benefit as possible for themselves in the chaos of the future! Of course, we can't be left behind! ”
"As the patriarch of the alliance, I dare not put the interests of my clan first at all times! So ......"
She didn't go on, but the firm and unquestionable tone showed that her will could never change again!
Mudgram sighed: "Respected Patriarch Gulrinaya, I have gathered the power of all the cardinals to join forces to deduce the evolution of the situation in the Star Sea World in the next hundred years at a great price!" The final result is extremely unfavorable to our people! ”
"Are you talking about that prophecy?"
Mudgram nodded, and in an almost dreamlike tone, "Great King!
It will be born from the starlight!
Adhering to the will of the Star Ocean!
Bathing in the glory of the ancient gods!
With the flesh and blood of hundreds of millions of sentient beings as the cornerstone!
Set in the Endless Void!
Forge your own Star Throne!
The heavens have sunk, and the lives have been destroyed! ”
Gulrinaya raised her eyebrows and asked, "You mean that this prophesied king is from the human race?" ”
"From the current point of view, it is like this! At least it was born within the borders of the human world! The high priest replied.
"Then, as long as the human world becomes the territory of our race, then this king should be a strong man from our race! At that time, our people could dominate the sea of stars! Become the greatest race in the heavens! It's like the Ancient Origin God Clan in ancient times! Gulrinaya laughed.
"This ...... Patriarch! This prophecy is not understood in this way, you ......" Mudgram's heart sank, and he quickly explained.
"No more talk!" Gulrinaya raised her hand slightly, interrupting the high priest's exhortation:
"I understand what you mean, you want our people to stay out of the matter in the next period of time and sit back and watch the changes in the sea of stars! Such an approach may be able to keep our people safe for a while, but when the dust settles on the situation in the Star Sea, our people will definitely become vassals of the last winner! This is an absolutely unacceptable result for us! ”
"So, we must do something in the troubled times that will follow! This is a unanimous decision of the Council of Elders! ”
Seeing that the patriarch had made up his mind, the high priest who wanted to say something more only sighed in the end.
After a short rest, Mudgram came to the statue, bowed humbly, bowed to the statue three times, and commanded the sacrifices to offer the offerings and place them neatly in front of the statue.
Then, from his robe, Mudgram took out a half-foot-long, dark, and unsharp-looking unbladed sword.
It gently swiped the short knife on his thin chest, and a red glow flashed on the surface of the short knife, and the blue and red blood of the big canopy suddenly spurted out like a capital and fell to the black stone floor.
The ground is full of strange and twisted strange patterns, like blood vessels in the human body! It looks chilling!
As soon as the blood touched the floor, it was immediately absorbed by those lines!
The high priest took the lead, and the hundreds of remaining priests followed suit, taking out their weapons one after another, scrambling to carry out this almost self-harming act of bloodletting.
The high priest bleed, clenched the scepter in his hand, and began to whisper intricate and obscure prayers.
As the strange pattern absorbed more and more blood, the entire altar trembled slightly around the statue, and the statue's originally dull eyes gradually glowed with a trace of blood, as if it had life!
The trembling amplitude of the altar grew larger and larger, and the lines fluctuated along a certain strange rhythm, and waves of strange energy were pumped into the statue's body.
As time passed, the red light in the statue's eyes grew stronger! Eventually, the sword in the statue's right hand began to slowly rise.
The wrinkles on the High Priest's forehead deepened, and beads of sweat poured out, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, his thin body leaning almost entirely against the thick scepter.
When the tip of the sword was raised above the statue's head, a dazzling red light suddenly shot out from the tip of the sword and threw straight into the spherical black cloud above!
In an instant, the entire void shook! The black cloud began to roll and boil, and a powerful and peerless divine thought, with a mysterious, vast, weird, and inhuman aura, suddenly descended!
Condensed like substance, heavy as the pressure of mountains! The priests present all trembled and fell to the ground, even the stubborn patriarch!
A majestic voice like thunder resounded on the spiritual level of all:
"Who is it that disturbs my eternal sleep......
"Who is it that brings the deity back from the other side of time and space......"
"What is it that you have come with sacrifices, O my descendants, that will alarm me? Could it be that our people are already facing an existential crisis? ”
The high priest raised his head tremblingly, and said boldly, "O great ancestral god! Your descendants of the bloodline are here, at the cost of a rich sacrifice, asking for your help......"
He recounted his demands in as concise language as possible.
The powerful divine thought was silent for a moment before replying, "How long have I been asleep?" When did such a powerful civilization emerge in the sea of stars? Mankind? It's unbelievable! ”
"Alright! Since this matter is related to the rise and fall of the bloodline of my descendants! I'll strike once and wipe out that young emperor! ”
"But you have to offer enough sacrifices!"
"Of course, everything is as you wish! Great ancestral god! High Priest Mudegram said respectfully.
Behind him, the four priests worked together to carry a two-meter-high three-legged bronze tripod, struggling to move it over, and then placed it beside the high priest.
With a slight wave of his scepter, Mudgram uttered a few short syllables, and a red halo gradually emanated from the old bronze Dingding.
A light portal appeared on Ding's body, and after a brief flash of rapid flickering, the form of the light gate stabilized.
Suddenly, a white light erupted from the light gate, and several figures appeared in the thick beam.
It was a perfect human being of about seventeen or eighteen years old! There were men and women, all lying unconscious on the ground at this time, but from their slightly fluttering noses and undulating chests, it could be seen that they were just in a coma!
It turned out to be a piece of space equipment, and now it is used by the High Priest as a tool to carry living sacrifices!
"Is this the image of a creature called a human?" There was a clear sense of surprise, curiosity, and excitement in that thought.
"Great Ancestral God, you can try the tastes, maybe you will be satisfied with them!" The high priest spoke cautiously.
"Alright! , let me try it! A thumb-thick, blood-red beam of light fell straight down and lightly touched the corpse of one of the humans! In just a moment, the corpse shrank, like a dried corpse that had been dehydrated and weathered for many years! All the essence was robbed by that beam!
A moment later, a palpable thought of joy reached the minds of everyone present: "It's wonderful! So this is the so-called human? It looks pretty good! Like! I love it! ”
As he spoke, several more blood-red beams of light descended, sucking all the remaining humans into dry corpses!
The high priest hurriedly urged the bronze tripod again, and the light gate began to teleport out the people inside, but in half an hour, tens of thousands of young and middle-aged humans appeared on the altar!
The black ball of light tumbled and fluctuated even more violently! And it's getting bigger fast! In the end, a blood-colored cloud of light suddenly leaned out with a huge snake head with a diameter of more than a kilometer!
I saw it look at the unconscious crowd below, and there was a trace of joy, a trace of hideousness, and a little greed in its slender golden eyes!
The blood-red light cloud descended, and all human beings, without exception, were robbed of all their vitality by the red ray!
"Excellent! You can get me so many good sacrifices! I'm glad that this sacrifice will be a success, even if you have passed the test! Remember, I'm going to get more next time! ”
"Yes, Great Ancestral God, your will is our wish!" Gulrinaya said humbly.
"Okay, eat and drink enough, and then, I'll go to the territory of the human world!"
