140. Life sacrifice

Bang!

The heavy coffin was violently opened, and Leoz took two steps back to avoid the pouring soul frenzy, and the almost crystalline energy, surging like a tidal wave, would be infected with the will and spirit of the dead when it was rubbed to the edge, and finally be assimilated step by step, becoming a puppet of the necromancer.

Leoz had too much experience dealing with such powerful spirits, not only from Sides's memories - but also from the suppression of the dominant universe and the slaughter of dragon civilizations.

He turned and walked, dodging the turbulent torrent of souls, slicing his left index finger with a knife and carving runes into the ground.

The terrifying one-eyed slowly opened, and there was an eerie playful laugh in the space around it.

This is not just a soul confinement charm - the primordial rune from the [Strange Origin] Spector is the highest in the entire rune sequence of the star abyss, and is called the existence of the 'Deep Scarf'.

Similar runes can be possessed by anyone who is the main god of the Star Abyss, except for Leoz himself, of course, as a surrogate, his personality has not yet reached that level.

As if a stray lamb had met a tiger, the torrent of souls quickly subsided, and the will of the dead souls gradually regained their senses, wandering in the air, ready to coalesce and take shape.

The power of the Deepmark Rune was immediately revealed, and Specttor's power was almost ineffective against the living, but almost accurate against the soul.

It's a pity that this kind of rune basically doesn't have any lethality, otherwise many things can be solved quickly.

"Ugh...... It's been too long since anyone has woken me up."

A deep voice echoed directly in my heart.

Leoz shook off the dust on his cloak and looked up at the front, the soul energy in the coffin had condensed into a translucent form, like a warrior wearing heavy armor, holding his knees with one hand, leaning on the coffin, slowly sat down, took a breath and rested for a while, and then raised his head and looked at Leoz:

"You? A little hairy child, can you actually come here?"

"My name is Leoz."

As he spoke, he raised the rock ghost phalanx in his hand:

"I think that says a lot."

"Terrafar's phalanx? - Hey, he's a happy boy, and doesn't talk much nonsense."

The samurai looked exhausted, and every movement required all his strength, he slowly raised his hand and hooked it towards Leoz:

"Come here, come closer, I don't have the strength, the curse of the abyss will take the same thing from you forever—what I have been robbed of is energy."

Leoz didn't doubt it, walked to two or three meters in front of the other party, stood still, and asked:

"You're [Xuan Yanqing] Ann Wong Breton?"

"I was called this when I was alive."

An Weng raised his big empty hand and gently brushed it over Leoz's head, and immediately let out a light sigh:

"How so...... To be able to come here, the passage of the body is so closed, no, it is not that there is no passage, and the absorption of external energy in your body is almost none."

"My aunt said that I was not very talented." Leoz said lightly.

"How's it going?" An Weng repeated, teasing, "It's not so good—it's a miracle that you survived, little ghost."

"Huh?" Leoz frowned: "Why do you say that?" ”

An Weng pointed at him:

"You kid, you have a twin of a brother or sister, right?"

Leoz was surprised:

"How do you see that?"

"It's all too common, in our time...... Well, I just asked about the will of the Crossing Abyss, it's been 829 years since I was last awakened, almost 1,300 years ago. It's not uncommon for you to do this, and we call it a 'life sacrifice.'"

"A living sacrifice?"

The other party's statement caught Leoz's attention, and these conversations were not recorded in a previous life.

"Yes, the birth sacrifice, you should know that for us who ascend to the gods, the higher we go, the closer we are to the posture of the Xingyuan Protoss, in fact, the Xingyuan Protoss does not have the ability to give birth, even if it is the legendary Lai'an Ding Mother Goddess who gave birth to the Protoss, it is only the nominal mother of all gods, in fact, it is actually a very difficult thing to use all kinds of materials, plus the fire of chaos, to make the gods themselves and really leave their descendants."

An Weng took a breath, leaned against the coffin, and rested for a while before continuing to speak slowly:

"Although not everyone can succeed in ascending to the gods, there is no shortage of unfortunate curses in the process of ascending to the gods, and no one wants to leave behind their descendants to continue their blood and spirit. In addition, the environment of our realm abyss is extremely harsh, even if the Void Demon kills it, it will be destroyed and sunk, including me, it is necessary to pass on the descendants."

"It's okay for ordinary people in the abyss to say, but high-level powerhouses, demigods like me, even if they find a partner to marry, they either can't bear their powerful genes, or there is reproductive isolation, even if they are successfully conceived, there is a very high probability that they will be deformed monsters called 'gods' or 'gods of calamity'."

"So, someone came up with the idea of using magic to make the mother give birth to only twins."

"What's the use of that?" Leoz was puzzled: "Give birth to one and give birth to two, the probability of deformity and iniquity is the same." The curse is also passed down according to the bloodline......"

"You think too highly of nature's curse, and you underestimate the wisdom of mortals."

An Weng knocked his head and smiled:

"You should understand that people who belong to the same path, when they descend into the abyss at the same time, the curse on their bodies will be scattered, do you know why?"

"Isn't this Xingyuan's own interception mechanism, in order to urge more people to choose a path and avoid involution disputes-"

"No, you're wrong, no matter how much you limit the internal friction in the early stage, when it comes to the abyss, when you compete for the god position, even the omega level (24) will dissipate as easily as snowflakes."

An Weng shook his head and said:

"Let me tell you, actually, this is Xing Yuan's implantation of your identity."

Leoz's pupils constricted:

“…… How can it be? ”

"Nothing impossible, surprise, right? I didn't expect that the real purpose of the curse was to sort and manage people as if they were recyclables."

An Weng spread his hands and said:

"You're far away, little ghost, these things your adults will definitely not tell you - the curse of the star abyss is actually to screen out the talents they need for each layer of the star abyss, and the ultimate goal is to provide the deepest source abyss with the greatest warriors and main gods - and they will take on the task of dominating the entire star abyss."

"You mean, the curse and the blessing are actually to help the source select the heir?"

"That's right, different curses will continue to accumulate on top of each other, the purpose is to screen out the ascenders who are absolutely obsessed with the source and completely loyal to the star abyss, only in this way can they be qualified to rule the star abyss together with the source god clan - and the others are just the ladder that the king stepped on when he ascended the throne."

安賳 says:

"As cruel as the truth is, at least we can work backwards on this mechanic to help us leave offspring in this competition - that is: the sacrifice of life."
