Prologue 7: The Fluctuations of Sacrifice
For the safety of Chongbao, the patriarch of the human race sent almost all the troops in the human realm to escort Gu Ling to the Qilin Mountain Range, but he didn't expect that he would be assassinated by the mysterious team that night. All of a sudden, the news of the patriarch's serious injury and imminent death spread to every corner of the human world, and early the next morning, the leaders of the nine nobles gathered in the courtyard of the patriarch's house. They didn't come in a hurry for the patriarch's injury, if the patriarch wasn't dead, they wouldn't mind giving him another ride in secret, the main reason why they came was to find out who the next patriarch of the Dao would be, and some people wondered if they could take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits for themselves.
"Grand Butler, how is the Patriarch's injury?" Seeing the butler walk out of the room, Elder Right hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"The master he ...... It doesn't look like it will last long......" the butler said with a sigh.
"Shall we bring the troops back?" said the leader of the Vosges nobility.
"No, we can't afford to compromise on one or the other. Elder Zuo said resolutely, of course, he thought in his heart that if the patriarch died, he would die, and his grandson Gu Ling would also be in danger if he transferred the troops back.
"Father...... "Just as everyone was discussing, a man came in from the outside crying and ran towards the room.
"Young master, you can't go in now!" the butler stopped him.
"Don't stop me, I'm going in to see my father!" said the young man, rushing in.
"Come on, take the young master aside and calm down!" The two of them started and one of them put the young man aside, but the young man sat on the ground and continued to cry bitterly.
"Butler, can't even my brother go in?" said another young man.
"Second young master, now that the doctor is treating the master's injuries, it's better not to go in and disturb!" said the housekeeper.
The young man had no choice but to retreat to the side, and at this moment the door of the room slowly opened, and a doctor walked out of it with a strange expression on his face. Everyone was waiting for news, and when they saw the doctor come out, they hurriedly gathered around, but the doctor pulled the butler aside and whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned around and walked back into the room.
"Butler, what did the doctor just say?" Elder Right walked up to the butler and asked.
"Master, he may be dying, he is now calling the second young master in. The butler said loudly.
"Me?" said the second young master in surprise, pointing to himself.
Everyone now knows what it means for the second young master to go in now, and everyone is weighing the relationship with the second young master, and the second young master walked into the room in everyone's strange eyes. The mood of the people waiting outside can be imagined, and about twenty minutes later, the second young master walked out of the room with tears on his face.
"Is this?" asked the Right Elder strangely.
"Now I declare two things: one is that the old master has just passed away, and he died for the future of our human race, and all the people of our human race need to remember him with high respect. The second thing is that the old master has appointed the second young master as the new patriarch of the Terran race, and we will hold a sacrifice in three days and announce the new master's ascendancy. The butler's loud words echoed in everyone's ears.
"Why? We didn't hear about my father's appointment in the room, anyway, I won't believe it! My father usually values me the most, even if he wants to pass on the throne, it should be passed on to me, how can it be passed on to him!" The eldest young master who was sitting on the ground immediately stopped crying when he heard what the butler said, and ran to the butler and said loudly.
"What do you mean?" asked the butler, frowning.
"No one hears it, this appointment doesn't count!" said the young master.
"I hear you. The butler looked at the young master and said.
"You...... Don't be complacent!'s this is never over, I won't let you sit in your seat!" said the young master and ran away.
"Then Elder Left and Elder Right, the matter of sacrifice will be left to the two of you. The butler said.
"Rest assured, we will bring in the best priests. The two said.
The matter was happily decided, and three days later a solemn sacrifice was held in the Hall of Laughter in the Human Realm, and the invited presiding officer was Amos Donten, one of the top three priests in the continent. This sacrifice is a long-standing tradition of the human race, in order to pass on the original god of the previous patriarch to the new patriarch through dimensional guidance, so as to ensure the strength of the human race.
"New master, are you ready?" the butler walked over and patted the second young master on the shoulder.
"To be honest, no!" said the second young master with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Scared?" asked the butler with a smile.
"I'm afraid that I'm too young to manage such a big personal world!" said the second young master to himself.
"Isn't there still us!" said the butler with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you from now on. The second young master also showed a smile.
While the two were talking, the sacrificial ceremony had begun silently. The light of the entire hall was dimmed, and the people standing on both sides of the pillars were worthy of ranking in the human world.
"Respectfully, the new master will succeed to the throne!" shouted in unison.
"Xie Lu, thank you for your support!" The second young master walked to the white jade throne step by step and sat down.
"I declare the ceremony officially begins!" shouted the butler.
As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red altar rose in the center of the main hall. On the eight corners of the octagonal altar stand eight coiling dragon pillars, which are carved with blue inscriptions. Torches were placed around the pillars, and purple flames burned on them. Each of the eight Coiling Dragon Pillars had a pale green energy chain on it, and in the middle of the Coiling Dragon Pillar, the eight energy chains were wrapped around a golden ball. This orb is the Yuan Shen of the previous Terran patriarch who has just passed away, and it is now about to be sent into the body of the new patriarch.
"Young man, are you ready?" the priest's deep voice pierced directly into the depths of the second young master's soul.
"Ready!" said the second young master, stabilizing his mind.
"O great god of the ancients...... Do you hear my call...... I need to use your strength now...... Give this pure energy to this pious young man...... He will pay for it with his life......" The priest raised his wand in the air while chanting the incantation, and waved a blue beam of light towards the Yuan Shen, who began to rotate and shoot out a golden beam of light that continuously rushed into the body of the second young master.
However, a few seconds later, a dark black energy rushed out of nowhere, enveloping the entire Yuan Shen inside, and the entire altar began to vibrate, and the face of the second young master began to become ugly.
"Priest, what's going on?" asked the butler.
"It seems that an evil power has attacked the sacrifice, let me try to suppress it!" The priest used his wand to wrap the dark black energy around a blood-red energy.
"He'll be all right with the new master, right?" asked the butler anxiously.
"It's hard to say!" said the priest, frowning.
With an earth-shattering bang, the entire altar shattered into countless small pieces due to the strong force of the explosion. The people standing around were also staggered by the explosion, and Guan hurriedly got up and ran to the second young master.
"New master, are you all right?" asked the butler anxiously.
"It's okay......," the second young master said, clutching his chest.
"Priest, what happened just now?" the butler asked as he walked over to the priest.
"Just now, there was an external evil energy that interfered with the sacrifice, but it was forced down by me with my ability. But fortunately, the inheritance of the original god was completed without danger, but it seems that there was a little unexpected mistake. The priest said with a frown.
"What little mistake?" asked the butler, puzzled.
"Just now, because I forcibly changed the way the evil energy was released, but it opened a small hole in the dimension that the inheritance guided, and the power of the primordial god leaked to the region of another world. The priest explained.
"Another world?" the butler still didn't understand.
"There are three people in the other world who have been transported to this continent by the impact of energy. The priest said.
"That shouldn't affect anything. The butler said with a smile.
That is, the three people who were teleported over by a small accident in the eyes of everyone changed the entire human world in the future, to be precise, it should be the fate of the entire continent, and then this continent will no longer be peaceful......
