Chapter 16: The Past, The Second Believer

The temple is perched on a high hill.

When the villagers came to the foot of the hill, they did not dare to go any further.

They formed a large circle in a marked place and officially began the ritual of sacrifice.

Some of the villagers perform strange ancient ritual dances, chanting words and praising the gods worshiped in their villages.

The leaders of their villages offered sacrifices such as pigs, cows, sheep, and even some organs that did not come from livestock!

After some worship, a dozen sturdy villagers armed with shovels walked out of the crowd and came to the center of the circle.

Then, there was a quiet wait.

……

Time passed little by little, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

All the villagers raised their heads and waited for the lunar eclipse to arrive.

Finally, a touch of darkness crept in, devouring the moon from the edge!

"Here we go!"

Everyone's hearts were shocked, knowing that the most critical moment had come.

The darkness spreads, and the full moon disappears at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Soon only a crescent moon remained.

But as the darkness continued, a streak of blood gradually emerged.

And as the lunar eclipse process continues, it becomes more and more dazzling!

Finally, a blood moon appeared in the dark night sky!

Indescribable power hung over the land, sounding the clarion call for war.

……

"Dig!"

The blood moon descended, and the ritual came to the most crucial place.

The head of Wolf Village waved his hand and gave the order with a calm face.

More than a dozen strong villagers who had been prepared immediately grabbed shovels and quickly dug up.

When they dug to a depth of 2 meters, a stream of dark red blood gushed out, soaking everyone's feet.

Occasionally, they carry out some foul-smelling carrion!

But they didn't stop, they dug harder.

Shovels of bloody dirt were thrown, and a faint sound could be heard from underground.

Mixed with crying, screaming, wailing.

Terrible, hideous!

The ghostly roar continued to grow, forcibly pouring into the ears of all the villagers present like a magic sound.

Fortunately, the villagers of Sishen Village are not ordinary people.

It's a bit painful, but it's still within the limits of patience.

Everyone's attention was focused on the big pit, waiting for the final moment.

……

Finally, after digging seven or eight meters deep in one go, the ground shook.

"Let's go! It's coming! ”

The head of Wolf Village snorted.

The villagers in the pit had already prepared, they turned into spirit monkeys, and after a few breaths, they all crawled out and retreated outside the circle.

"Boom!"

The tremors on the ground became more and more violent.

After more than ten seconds, it collapsed in all directions with the crater as the center.

In the blink of an eye, a deep pit more than ten meters long appeared in the circle surrounded by the villagers.

Under the reflection of the blood moon, the crater was red.

The piercing ghostly roar resounded in the night sky, making people feel terrible.

In the pit, flesh and blood rolled.

Hundreds of corpses were entwined together to form a giant ball of corpses.

The corpses were decomposed, inhuman, but still struggling and screaming.

The strong resentment rose to the sky and almost turned into substance!

The scene was terrifying.

But the villagers of Sishen Village are still relatively calm.

A force overwhelms the graves, preventing them from rioting.

The opening of the corpse pit means that the sacrificial ceremony has finally come to the final step.

Everything before that was just preparation.

……

"Bring the outsider caught in your village, and he will be used for this human sacrifice."

The head of Wolf Village looked at the person in charge of Raven Village.

Such a sacrificial ceremony was held seven times in the village of the four gods, and this is the eighth.

There were only eight corpse pits in total, and this was the last time.

As for the corpses in the corpse pit, they were all the most faithful believers of the Tai Sui Yin God.

All this can be traced back to that night when even the air was bloody.

This night is also known as the Night of the Judgment.

It is a taboo topic in the village of the four gods!

That night, a long-planned mutiny began.

The four gods left the embrace of the Tai Sui Yin God and cut with it.

And with four to one, it will be contained.

The rest is a war of believers.

The believers of the four gods who had been prepared for a long time wiped out all the believers of the Tai Sui Yin God.

He also refined the most faithful believers into a corpse pit, and used them as a medium to devour the Tai Sui Yin God.

Each sacrificial ritual destroys a corpse pit and consumes part of the power of the Tai Sui Yin God.

Destroy the Eight Pits and wipe them out completely!

At that time, the shadow that hangs over the village of the four gods will cease to exist.

The night will also return to its tranquility.

……

Thinking of this, the faces of each villager were filled with excitement.

"Liu Zhiqiang", who had lost the ability to resist, was taken to the edge of the corpse pit, ready to start the first step of destroying the corpse pit with his human sacrifice.

But at this moment, a mutation appeared.

"Stop!"

A loud shout came from the hills.

The voice seemed to come from the temple, and the villagers couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Looking up, they saw a man with a disheveled hair walking towards them, followed by Liu Manyun.

"Wake up, traitor!"

This is the unkempt old man the player met when they first entered the village.

He was the second believer that Chen Mo sensed.

After Liu Manyun found him, he was still crazy.

But after being taken back to the temple for one night, he completely changed his appearance, and he had a terrifying momentum.

This has increased Liu Manyun's confidence a lot.

……

"Crazy Jiang, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of death! ”

At the foot of the hill, the head of Wolf Village recognized this person.

Although he was scolding, there was a hint of caution in his eyes.

This person's name is Jiang Ming.

His strength is very strong, and he was once a loyal believer in the Tai Sui Yin God.

In the night of the rebellion that year, Jiang Ming played an important role.

But for some reason, after success, he repented and shouted "Those who rebel against God will die".

He then fled the village and became insane.

Because of his strength and lack of threat, the people of the Four Gods Village didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Jiang Ming actually ran out to disrupt the situation.

And it doesn't look crazy anymore.

……

Jiang Ming's sharp gaze pierced through his scattered hair and scanned all the villagers.

In the end, his eyes fell on the head of Wolf Village and the head of Cat Village.

"Remember how we got here?"

"The younger generation may have forgotten, but you will never forget, and you should not forget!"

"That year, natural and man-made disasters caused a group of victims who couldn't survive strayed into a secret place."

"In the secret realm, there is a great existence."

"He gave this dying group of refugees hope to live."

"It's a pity that people's hearts are insufficient!"

"Some people seek happiness, and a cat god who can make people sink into beautiful dreams was born in the divine body."

"Some people seek to be healthy and strong, and a wolf god who can suck qi and blood essence was born in the divine body."

"Some people seek immortality, and a crow god who can turn people into half-corpses was born in the divine body."

"But, at what cost?!"
