Ruin Mengling never thought that one day, he would be forced to recite the prayer of the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes].

In the past, he used to sacrifice the blood of living people, and recited it during the procession of the ritual.

It was a source of pain and pleasure for him.

What a joy it is to watch so many people die.

But we have to face the unfathomable, moody "spirit" in return.

It's not going to be fun.

At the very least, it has to be discounted.

That's why the further back it goes, the more Ruin Dream Zero doesn't want to sacrifice blood.

It's not that he has any reverence for life.

Purely because he felt that these dead people did not die at his hands at all, which made him feel very unhappy.

There was even a faint suspicion that ...... "spirit" was robbing him of his pleasure.

He gave everything he could to the Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents, and he deserved the happiness he deserved, didn't he?

But there's never anything in this world that shouldn't be supposed to.

Only strong is not strong.

The Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents is incomparably powerful, almost like a god.

Compared to this great being, Ruin Dream Zero is like an ant.

So no matter what the "spirit" did, Ruin Mengzero could only grit his teeth and accept it.

For a natural murderer, being controlled by others is probably the thing that makes him haunted the most.

Although this man ...... It's not human.

Therefore, Rui Mengling is also using his own ways and methods to resist the existence that cannot be disobeyed.

But there are some things that are really hard to tell.

It was clear that he didn't want to perform the blood sacrifice ritual, but now he was forced to recite a prayer to himself.

When I think about it, it's ridiculous and ironic.

Ruined Dream Zero really has an illusion that his happiness was taken away by the "spirit", and he tried to resist, but was suppressed by this boy who suddenly appeared.

The reason for this is an illusion.

It was because he knew that this young man was definitely not a believer in the Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents.

If this "spirit" believer, he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Void Spirit Sect.

With this existence, how can that "spirit" still look up to himself?

Not only was Ruin Dream Zero reciting the prayer, but the remaining four were still reciting the prayer.

Except for the slightly empty eyes, this prayer was actually read with emotion.

Nonsense, if you don't complete the task well, the other party will deprive you of your five senses, eliminate your sense of time, and suffer immeasurable pain at the same time, it seems like billions of time for a moment...... This kind of hell is simply endless suffering, who can withstand it?

The last time is enough, and no one wants to come a second time.

But even so, the five members of the Void Spirit Sect still couldn't figure out what this big guy wanted to do.

It's okay to summon the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes] with the [Hexagram], but Mao himself also occupies a corner of the [Hexagram]??

Could it be that this person wants to sacrifice himself?

Even if you want to commit suicide, you don't have such a way to commit suicide.

It's speechless.

On the one hand, they want time to pass quickly, so that they don't have to face such embarrassing things again.

On the other hand, they wanted time to pass more slowly, because no one knew what would happen when the simple ritual was over.

What if that [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes] has a hole in his brain and responds?

Then they will all become sacrifices, and they will not be able to escape.

Although they didn't think that such a simple ritual could summon the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes].

Even the five people who were sacrificed were all Blood Sects, which could be called the ceiling of the sacrifices...... Even though it is a simple sadhana, its quality is quite high.

But the question is, how many shortcuts did the five of them take before they finally became the Blood Sect, they know it in their hearts.

Maybe in the eyes of the Spirit,

Even if the five of them were tied together, they probably wouldn't be able to match a true blood sect with a decent child.

Not to mention the five of them, they were already inextricably linked to that [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes].

In this situation, if the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes] detects it, it will probably be very speechless.

From the point of view of this "spirit", this absurd ritual is more like sacrificing one's right hand with one's left hand.

After all, the power of these five Blood Sects is ...... It's all from "it".

Use the power of "it" to sacrifice to "it...... Anyone with a little common sense of rituals would not do that.

Sacrifice regardless of disregard...... The chances of attracting its attention are slim, and even if it does, the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes] probably won't have the slightest joy, but it is more normal for it to be angry.

Thinking of this, Rui Mengling suddenly had a new idea.

Isn't it...... Isn't it really what he imagined......

The reason why this person made the five of them sacrifices was to provoke the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents], so that the "spirit" could be ...... in a true posture Befall?!

But the problem is that this is the Tower of Babel.

Even if the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes] is provoked, the probability that he will actually descend to the "Spirit" body is less than 1 in 10,000.

To this day, though, the three major cults still can't determine where the Tower of Babel should be.

Two things are certain.

That is, in the Tower of Babel, the difficulty of the "spirit" coming is far greater than that of the [Tranquility Layer].

It's almost as difficult as the [Sleepy Layer].

Secondly, after the "spirit" true body descends, its existence time is much lower than that of the [sleepy layer].

To give you an example, if the Spirit of the Ten Thousand Serpents descends on the Sleepy Layer on the dark side and can exist for a minute, then when it descends in the Tower of Babel, its existence time is compressed to a fraction of a second.

This subtle difference gives a very wonderful feeling, as if ...... It's as if [Tower of Babel] is also an ineffable being, and under the clash of personalities, the existence time of the "spirit" after its advent is directly shortened.

Ruin Mengling couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

He immediately denied his idea, which, by all the evidence, was completely unrealistic.

But for some reason, although he openly denied this idea, his subconscious kept leaning towards it.

It was as if there was a feeling that reminded him that he might be right.

End of prayer.

Li Boyang stood in the corner of the [Six-Pointed Star] and tapped his fingertips.

A little bit of blood flew out of his fingertips and fell directly into the middle of the [Hexagram].

Suddenly, the [six-pointed star] on the ground suddenly lit up.

No, it should be said that while the prayer was being served, the six-pointed star, which had already shimmered with shimmering brilliance, suddenly lit up with a blazing white light.

almost blinded Rui Mengling and the others.

With the light comes an unstoppable and irresistible terror and coercion.

It felt like the heavens were falling apart, the world was sinking, and everything was withering.

Ruin Mengling and the others knelt on the spot, their whole bodies trembling.

As the highest level of the Ethereal Spirit Sect, they were all too familiar with this aura-like aura.

Every time I sacrifice to the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes], this incomparable coercion will come over to make a show.

As if if you don't crush everyone to your knees honestly, this power of destruction will not disappear.

But it was clear to the others that this coercion was not aimed at them at all, and the reason why they would kneel down every time this coercion appeared was purely because they couldn't bear it at all.

It feels like this coercion has been around for a long time, but in fact, after the coercion comes, it often disappears without a trace after a few milliseconds.

But now.

Even if the ruin dream is zero and others

I feel that the time has come.

But the terrible coercion has not disappeared.

Their vision began to distort under the incessant glare of light.

Faintly, they seemed to feel that an indescribable, invisible, and unspeakable huge snake slowly leaned out in a vast ocean.

If it is said that the time vision caused by the boy before is only a time slow.

Now, shrouded in blazing light, time has been completely paused.

But to the great surprise of Rui Mengling and the others, they had clearly entered the realm of time stopping, but their minds were still sober.

It's like the soul is out of the shell.

The body was completely frozen and unable to move.

The soul can still think.

But that's not a good thing.

In this special state of being out of the body, Rui Mengling and the others only felt as if they were ice cubes under the blazing sun, melting little by little.

What's worse is that this feeling of constantly disappearing - irreversible!

They're really disappearing little by little......

Memory loss......

The Past Disappears......

Even its own existence is disappearing......

Disappear...... Disappear......

It won't be long before the five of them become completely demented.

Lose yourself, and only keep your body.

If it had disappeared very, very quickly, perhaps the five of them wouldn't have felt any pain.

But the problem is that in this state of stoppage, their sense of disappearing is almost endless-

It seems that if it doesn't go away, their constant process of losing themselves will not end.

If you want to say what is the most painful punishment in the world, in the past, Rui Mengling and others may have their own answers.

But now, they're probably able to get a consistent answer...... That is the gradual loss of self.

When they noticed this, an indescribable chill came up from their hearts.

Lose your ......!

Although those great "spirits" can live forever, the "spirits" are not gods and cannot maintain themselves for a long time.

Forced to do so, the "spirits" fell asleep in the sea of dark energy.

In the past, the five of them would only think that it was just a legend.

But now...... Legends seem to be coming true, even directly to them.

It was only at this time that they finally understood that it was impossible to gain strength by believing in the "spirit" from beginning to end.

How can a "spirit" that endures endless painful punishment be empowered?

In darker and more straightforward terms, it's – since I've fallen into hell, why won't I pull you down?

How is it possible to ask me to give you benefits instead?

Those great "spirits" seem to be far and great, above all things, and are no different from God.

But in reality, all the "spirits" who are awake are crazy.

Why is there no trace of the Holy Spirit, but the trace of the evil spirit is so easily visible?

It is because the Holy Spirit has seen through the reality of the eventual demise of the self in the "Spirit" from the very beginning, so as long as the Holy Spirit can maintain itself, almost all of them sleep in the sea of dark energy.

And the evil spirits, not so much that they are treacherous and evil, but that they are ...... Crazy from the start.

So.

Rui Mengling and the others couldn't help but have a question.

Occasionally, the Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes is in a fully awake state...... Is it a total madness with no logic to speak of, or a half-madness that can barely control itself?

If it is all crazy, then why can the other party respond to their sacrifice to it?

Is it that even if the "spirit" is crazy, with the instinct of the "spirit", it can still be possible

How easy is it to deal with the response that the sacrifice should give?

If that's the case, it's not unacceptable.

After all, the other party is a madman, even if he is an ant, the [Spirit of Ten Thousand Snakes] will not have any plans against him.

But what if it's half-crazy?

obviously has a sober self, but he still responds to the small Rui Mengling and others...... This is the biggest and biggest abnormality.

The more awake the "spirit" is, the less faith is needed.

What kind of existence is the "spirit", small people will always make all kinds of guesses.

Among the many speculations, there is one called "Faith Signs", which is the most famous.

This speculation suggests that for spirits, the belief in small beings is important but not important, and is only a sign to maintain their self.

The more muddy it is, the more faith is needed to maintain the "spiritual" self.

In other words, if the spirits are almost completely insane, or simply fall into a complete slumber, their instincts will still respond to all beliefs, sacrifices, hatreds, and yearnings for them...... And so on and so forth.

Because only in this way can people believe, and only faith can stabilize the self of the "spirits".

But the problem is that no religion of any faith can exist forever.

When the tide of faith recedes.

Will the Spirit be able to sustain itself and awaken from its near-eternal sleep?

Rui Mengling and the others didn't know.

Although they are at the top of the cult, they are very interested in speculation about faith and the like - in a sense, this is their specialty.

But the problem is that they have nothing but guessing about the "spirit."

Therefore, they have no way of knowing whether the Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents they believe in is a "spirit" in a waking state or a "spirit" in a state of complete sleep.

Perhaps, to outsiders, it does not matter at all whether the "spirit" is awake or not.

But for cults that borrow the power of the "spirit", is the "spirit" awake...... Extremely important!

Because it means how much power they can borrow from that "spirit".

If the "Spirit" is asleep, everything is just the instinctive reaction of the "Spirit", then there is almost no upper limit to the power that Ruin Dream Zero and others can borrow from the Blood Sacrifice.

It also means that the existence of the Ethereal Spirit Cult is more or less important to that "spirit", and it is a sign of faith for that "spirit" to position downward.

And don't worry, the "spirit" will suddenly make unexpected changes and make unexpected demands.

The "spirit" is in a state of slumber, everything is driven by instinct, and naturally there will be no inexplicable changes.

After believing in the spirit and gaining the power of the spirit...... Whether the Spirit is awake or asleep, the end is all Fallen.

This is not a secret secret, and the others have known it from the beginning.

They know what they know, but why this is happening, they don't understand it at all.

It is only now that they suddenly realize that they seem to be high up in the "spirit", but in fact they have fallen into the hell of nothingness, every moment and every second... are on the verge of self-dying.

If the "spirit" goes to hell, then those who borrow the power of the "spirit" will, of course.

Myself...... Come to a sticky end.

This kind of ending, Rui Mengling and the others were very clear from the beginning.

Therefore, being polluted and degraded by the power of the "spirit" did not frighten them at all.

This in itself is one of the costs of gaining power.

What really scared Ruin Mengling and the others was ......

In case the Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents they believe in...... From start to finish...... Awake all the time?

For Ruin Dream Zero and the others, this possibility itself is probably the most terrifying nightmare.

If the Spirit of Ten Thousand Serpents is awake from the beginning.

So why did this great being respond to the ruins so easily?

The blood sacrifice ritual of Dream Zero and others? And give the next strength?

For what purpose?

As soon as mortals think, the gods laugh.

The thoughts of the people in the special state of Rui Dream Zero and others were sensed almost unhindered by the great existence that came.

An indescribably sized snake shadow shook in vain.

The five of them became dementia in an instant.

[Although in most cases, the thinking of the small is meaningless, occasionally one or two special beings are born.] 】

A huge voice sounded, but it was strange and only resounded in Li Boyang's ears.

Li Boyang glanced at the five people, "That is to say...... One of these five has guessed your mind?"

"Is it Dream Zero?"

"That's right, I don't believe that there is anything different about being able to be chosen by you as the leader of the Ethereal Spirit Sect."

"From the beginning, he wasn't like the others."

"So what did he guess?"

"Guess you answered his prayer because you wanted to see me?"

[Nope! 】

[When he had this idea, it was ridiculous in itself.] 】

[There is no certainty in the future, and it is naturally impossible for me to get a glimpse of the road ahead. 】

[It's not so much that I foresaw you, but that the unimaginable emptiness of the future shocked me. 】

The sound continued to sound from the light and shadow.

Li Boyang listened and couldn't help but be a little silent.

After a while, he said, "When I hear you say that, I feel ...... You seem to have known about my presence."

"Dream Zero...... The Ethereal Sect is just a pawn that you arranged early."

"So that one day, you can see me."

"I even suspect that the 'Ethereal Egg' was deliberately arranged by you, in order to make me owe you a reason, and to reduce the shackles when you came to me."

"So...... Who the hell are you?"

[You're shocked? No, I'm supposed to be the one to be shocked. 】

[Judging from your performance, it seems that you have already guessed that my advent will be different from the normal arrival. 】

[I can't see your surprise, nor can I see your surprise...... It's as if everything that's happening now is what you expected. 】

[Not so much...... If you come and ask me who I am, why don't I ask who you are...... Feasible? 】

The vast voice gradually deepened, as if it had become a whisper, and it was softly narrated in Li Boyang's ear.

"People?"

"Do you think you're still human?"

"It seems...... Countless spirits are born, and eventually an unexpected spirit will be born."

Li Boyang couldn't help but sigh, "So now I only have one question, are you a dragon or a snake?"

[Heh! Did you guess so quickly? 】

[But that's right, they always ask each other like this, but they don't have any answers to each other, and it's quite boring.] 】

[Yes, I'm not a snake, I'm a dragon...... Dragon's True Spirit! 】

[A statue never needs to sleep, nor does it dissolve itself...... Special spirits. 】

But at the same time, I am also a human being, a person with an independent self. 】

[Of course, you can also call me an immortal...... Spirit dragon ghost fairy. 】

[I don't know what that means, but I think you can understand it.] 】

Li Boyang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out, "Jingquan?!"

can be linked to immortals, probably only this big guy.

[Hah! You know that one...... A truly great being. 】

[Let me guess, have you communicated with the truly great being for a long time?] 】

The corners of Li Boyang's mouth twitched, and it took a long time to be the one who created this spirit dragon ghost immortal? That's why this one is so different?

seems to have guessed what Li Boyang was thinking, that voice

Yin said: [Don't get me wrong, I don't have any real communication with that truly great being. 】

At best, I just got a book left by that one. 】

[But I guess that's not important anymore, so can you answer my question?] How did you realize that I was a dragon and not a snake? 】

Li Boyang frowned slightly, "He's my friend, so I don't want to answer, but I think even if I don't say it, you should know."

[For overly strong emotional expressions, I can vaguely sense one or two, you just seem to have thought of a name...... Is it called Ning Wuxiu? 】

The sound grew quieter and quieter, as if projected to another distant place.

Li Boyang didn't know how to answer.

The voice suddenly returned to normal, and said something that made Li Boyang stunned, [You know that your friend's name is Ning Wuxiu, but do you know that he has another name? …… Ning Jingquan. 】

When he heard the three words Ning Jingquan, the thrilling feeling of numbness on his scalp almost made Li Boyang break his defense.

It took him several breaths in a row to barely recover.

"Is that true?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Li Boyang regretted it.

"In your person, you wouldn't lie to me, so it's certainly true."

"Could it be...... What does it have to do with Jingquan Dao people, that's why I ...... it?"

[Can your emotions be less restrained? I can't sense what you're thinking right now. 】

Li Boyang sneered, "It's not a good habit to feel other people's thoughts at will."

"That's why you've put so much effort into it...... What do you want to do when you see me?"

"To be clear in advance, although I owe you a cause and effect, it is not a constraint for me, not so much that I want to solve this cause and effect, but that I came here because I came out of curiosity."

What do I want to do? 】

[I don't believe you didn't think of it. 】

[O one of my followers. 】
