Chapter 568: Public Sacrifice for Relatives Killed in War Conferred Meritorious Heroes
Liang Ji's natal star, the holy land of Longshou Mountain.
The Pope of the Heavenly Emperor Sect is now from the Jiaotu Scroll Clan, and he summoned all the patriarchs, priests, and sacrifices of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and held a grand sacrificial ceremony in front of the Holy Land of Longshou Mountain.
In front of the ceremonial venue, there are broken flying boats, and on the flying boats are the remains of the Roll Clan.
On the leading flying boat, there is a carving of the image of the ferocious beast, and the corpses of the four generations of Thunder Emperors are displayed on it, solemn and heavy.
The Third Legion of the Star Alliance's Outer Expansion came to help, and the battle in the Shuangyang Galaxy basically ended, and Liang Ji's subordinates cleaned up the battlefield and transported the flying boats that were damaged in the battle, the fallen Roll Clan, and the corpses of the four generations of Thunder Emperors who died in battle back to the natal stars.
Now, under the auspices of the Heavenly Emperor Pope, a public sacrifice and send-off are held for these heroic and deceased families.
“…… Those who die in battle for the Emperor of Heaven will surely enter the underworld opened up by the Emperor of Heaven for eternal life......"
“…… Those who have merit will be canonized as gods......"
The Holy Father of the Heavenly Emperor recited the canon and began to pray for the blessings of these heroes who died in battle.
When the sacrificial ceremony reached its climax, Pope Jiaotu raised the code and scepter, bowed down in the direction of the cemetery to the north, and said in a loud voice:
"Respectfully invite the ghosts and gods, open the ghost gate, and lead all the heroic spirits into the underworld!"
At the northern foot of Longshou Mountain, there is a cemetery that has been selected since the birth of the Juan clan, from the very beginning of the religious leader Xi, to the current warriors of the Juan clan who are the warriors of the Emperor of Heaven, they are buried here after the sacrificial ceremony and the blessing of the Emperor.
It has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years.
And because Liang Ji's natal stars have been refining the demon pill to improve the level of the stars, refining various spirit species to develop the stars, and the volume of the stars has also been expanding in the promotion and development, so the holy land of Longshou Mountain has also become bigger and higher, and the land of the cemetery in the north is naturally getting bigger and bigger, enough to bury the heroes of the past dynasties.
At this time, as the Pope bowed down, the priests of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the priests, and the believers of the various scroll tribes who participated in the sacrificial ceremony also bowed to the north.
The next moment, above the northern sky, the wind and clouds converged, the clouds obscured the sky, and a ghost gate that seemed to be real opened in the air.
The ghost gate opened, and the impermanence of ghosts and gods walked out of the ghost gate with the ghost officials, came to the sacrificial ceremony, enjoyed the sacrifices and incense offered in the sacrifice, and then sprinkled a stream of ghosts and gods and gods, and fell on the corpses of those who died in battle.
Under the baptism of divine light, the blood stains on their souls stained by the death of the war were washed away, and the damage caused by the mutilation of the corpses was restored, and even bloomed one by one, not like ghosts, but like gods.
Under the shroud of divine light, these heroic spirits of the Scroll Clan regained their senses, and under the leadership of the four generations of Thunder Emperors, they bid farewell to the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor, to the Pope and other sacrifices, and to the officials, soldiers, and believers of the Scroll Clan who came to see them off.
Subsequently, under the guidance of ghosts, gods and ghost officials, these heroic spirits of the Juan clan stepped on the divine light, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and lined up to enter the ghost gate.
It doesn't look like you're dying and entering the world of the dead, but it's like ascending to eternal life in the kingdom of God under the guidance of the gods.
The officials, soldiers, and ordinary believers of the various vein clans who participated in the sacrificial ceremony looked at the opening of the ghost gate, the coming ghosts and gods, and the 'soaring' under the guidance of the ghosts and gods, and their faces became more and more pious, and their belief in the Emperor became more and more fanatical.
Even, after all the heroic spirits of the Juan clan who died in battle entered the Ghost Gate Pass and entered the Jiuquan Underworld, many of the Juan clan believers who participated in the public sacrifice ceremony in the Longshou Mountain Holy Land all burst into cheers.
Heroic spirits are led by ghosts and gods to enter the underworld opened up by the Emperor of Heaven to gain eternal life, which is naturally not a sad thing, but something that should be cheered and celebrated.
At the same time, after passing through the Ghost Gate, a group of heroic spirits of the Juan clan who had fought in the war were diverted into all walks of life in the Nine Springs Underworld according to their bloodline, achievements, beliefs, merits, good and evil, etc.
There seems to be only one ghost gate pass above the Longshou Mountain Cemetery, but it corresponds to the Nine Springs in the underworld, but there is a ghost gate open in each layer of the underworld.
At this time, in the seventh layer of the lower spring underworld, the Ghost Gate Pass was opened, and the heroic spirits of the four generations of Thunder Emperors crossed the Ghost Gate Pass and entered it.
Liang Ji's soul went out of his body, entered the underworld of this spring, stretched out his hand to the sky and made a move, and the 'Fengshen Bang Ghost God Edition' contained in the origin of the stars suddenly flew out of the underworld and landed on his hand.
He unfolded the list of gods and opened his mouth to give the edict:
"The Four Thunder Emperors, leading the army of the Scroll Clan, opened up the territory for the Emperor of Heaven, resisted the Void Demon Clan, and died in the battlefield of the outer realm, and his merits were complete!"
"Today, in the name of the Emperor of Heaven, I will entitle the four generations of Thunder Emperor Six Rank Red Impermanent Ghosts and Gods, hold the power of Thunder and Hell, take charge of the punishment of the ghosts and gods of the Spring Underworld, and supervise the Lower Spring Underworld!"
Under Liang Ji's edict, the divine light in the 'God List' of ghosts and gods in his hand was magnificent, condensed into a red god and flew down, directly falling into the four generations of Thunder Emperor Heroic Spirits below.
Suddenly, the red divine light enveloped his body, condensed into a red divine armor on his body, condensed into a red divine crown on his top, and condensed into a divine soldier entwined with red thunder in his hand, which was awe-inspiring.
"Thank the Emperor for the grace of the Emperor!"
Sealed into the position of the six impermanent ghosts and gods, the four generations of Thunder Emperor bowed down to the heavens to thank him.
Liang Ji didn't respond, he just took charge of the 'God List', and went to each of the other layers of the underworld, and each layer of the underworld was sealed.
However, among the rest of the layers of the underworld, they did not enshrine the position of the sixth-rank red impermanence ghost god, but basically chose to make meritorious contributions in the battle, and were enshrined as the seventh-rank white ghost official.
Although the reward of the position of the ghost and god was carried out in the underworld, Liang Ji was able to project this scene into the sleep of many believers of the Juan clan with the power of the 'God List', so that all believers could witness this scene, which further enhanced the devotion and fanaticism of the Juan clan's belief in the Emperor of Heaven, and also inspired believers to fight more and make meritorious contributions.
This is also whether Liang Ji's cultivation is still insufficient, otherwise if the 'God List' can leave the underworld and enter the yang world, he will be able to enshrine the ghosts, gods, and gods on the spot in the public sacrifice ceremony, and the effect will definitely be better!
After rewarding the heroic souls of the Juan clan who died in battle, and sealing the ghosts and gods, Liang Ji's soul left the Jiuquan Underworld and returned to the yang world.
At this time, in the holy land of Longshou Mountain, the public sacrifice ceremony has ended, and the Heavenly Emperor Sect is holding a new ceremony to crown the fifth generation of the Thunder Emperor.
Four generations of Thunder Emperors died on the battlefield, were named ghosts and gods, and their sons took over the jade seal and crown from the Pope, becoming the new generation of Thunder Emperors of the Thunder Dynasty of the Juan clan.
In the sky, the flying boats formed a queue and sailed by, the gods appeared on the flying boats, holding the 'sun altars' with both hands, and the great sun in the sky suddenly fell into the golden light, falling into the scene of the coronation ceremony, as if to congratulate the newly enthroned five generations of thunder emperors.
