Chapter 77: The New Sacrifice
Shen Yi recalled some of the myths he had read on Earth, and it seemed that he could claim that the bread was his own flesh with magical powers.
“Shall I throw a loaf of bread? I don’t think it’s a very good idea…”
But after the series of summoning and dream calls, he was sure about one thing, that was, the self that the summoners could see was not his real self, but some kind of terrifying alien vision.
Perhaps, it was similar to the image of a real god.
Coupled with the strong aura of an extraterrestrial god that erupted during the summoning process, let alone a piece of bread, even a rotten banana would be regarded as a fetish.
And on top of that, that all religious members were best at nothing else but… Brainstorming!
“Human beings are really interesting, very interesting. Through the power of brainstorming, they create religion, finance, dreams, laws… let the non-existent world dominate the existing world.”
He talked to himself for a while, then shook his head.
“However, the religions of this world are not purely brain-made products. The extra-worldly god does exist.”
The bread still didn’t match the temperament of the Lord of Ashes.
Shen Yi thought up various fantasy stories, and what food often appears in them?
A realization struck him, he went to the kitchen straight away and opened the food container. And his eyes glowed with contentment for coming up with the solution as he looked up at the bright red apple.
Just bought it from the market, and it still tastes delicious.
Probably this is it.
Golden apples, poisoned apples, in all kinds of fantasy stories, apples were always very common.
“Shall I bestow it?”
In any case, he had an alien image and had the strong aura of extraterritorial god, so no one dared to challenge his authority—just to tell them that there was power in the apple.
Shen Yi imagined a funny picture, a group of cultists surrounded an ordinary apple, and studied it carefully for decades, but they still didn’t find anything strange about the “gift from God”.
“However, it is probably impossible to study for decades, because after some time the apple will be decayed …… The normal situation is this.”
In fact, ever since he learned about the “Alien Vision”, he had another guess but thinks it’s too bullshit.
So he decided to take the apple for a small test first.
When everything was ready, the shaking started.
The cafe began to tremble continuously, Shen Yi was still sitting in his seat and was completely unconcerned.
He held an apple in one hand and a coffee in the other, listening to prayers.
“Infinite disasters, the source of disasters”
”The loathsome one of the white mist”
”The Lord of Ashes who annihilated the Stars”
”Presenting you the fruit under the abyss of the Black Sea, the book of travelers from ten directions.”
”Manifest your great existence and make the world quiver”
There were new changes to the prayers this time, not just the sacrifices, but also the voice… it was a female voice.
Shen Yi took another sip of coffee and by the voice, he knew the person presiding over the sacrifice was Aina.
“Aina’s status has taken another step forward.”
——
In the Outskirts of Beland.
In a long-derelict church, there were hundreds of Order members gathered, each of whom prostrated on the ground piously.
A dozen black-robed senior members of the Order knelt around, looking solemn and incomparable, mouthing ancient and complex incantations.
The “primordial fire” symbol in the church had long been replaced by Lord of Ashes by them.
This was undoubtedly an act of blasphemy against the primordial fire.
However, the members of the Chaos Remnant Order were indifferent to it.
The Chaos Remnant Order and the Corona Church had been feuding for thousands of years, and their mutual blood debts have long been beyond count.
In front of the altar, there was a girl dressed in an exquisite black velvet sacrificial robe who knelt down, clasped her hands together, and reverently recited the prayers of the Lord of Ashes, it was Aina.
“Infinite disasters, the source of disasters”
”The loathsome one of the white mist”
”The Lord of Ashes who annihilated the Stars”
”Presenting you the fruit under the abyss of the Black Sea, the book of ten travelers.”
“Manifest your great existence and make the world quiver”
The last sacrifice was interrupted by the Quiet World, if it wasn’t they would have sacrificed this Black Sea Abyss fruit by last time itself.
But after the interruption, they added one more thing this time to make amends.
So, this time the Order offers two sacrifices!
In recent months, the Chaos Remnant Order has gained a lot of influence in upper-class society and expanded its channels, and gained more mysterious remnants.
Relics below the disaster level could be obtained through money transactions, as for extremely rare and precious disaster-level relics it was also obtained through power exchanges.
In order to show his loyalty, Councilor John consciously offered his family’s ancestral disaster relic – the Book of Ten Travelers.
He hoped to get the support and protection of an extraterrestrial god to help him stand out in the election… maybe one day he can rise even higher!
‘The legendary Book of Ten Travelers was really a big deal,’ the high priest thought silently.
He knelt in front of a group of senior members and was very close to the altar, only a short distance from the “divine child” Aina who presided over the sacrifice.
The high priest gazed at the two offerings on the altar.
The first offering was a pitch-black fruit found under the black southern ocean, which grew forever in the bottomless abyss and contained incredible power.
It looked like a pitch-black dragon fruit, only the size of an adult fist.
The other was Councilor John’s family heirloom, The Book of Ten Travelers.
The Book of Ten Travelers, Disaster (disaster level) relics.
It looked like a yellow old book, like an old diary handed down decades ago, with only ten pages, each of which could record a picture.
The author of the book seemed to be a demigod lost in the ruins of history.
Priesthood was very important in every sect, and it could even be said to be the most important power. This time in place of the high priest, Aina presided over the sacrificial ceremony, which symbolizes many things.
After this sacrifice, all members of the Order will understand who was the most honorable and most prestigious person.
But the high priest seemed to not care about this superficial decentralization, he was so excited at this moment that his body was trembling slightly.
The fact that Beland was the easiest place for an extra-worldly god to descend was already known to many people in the inner world.
And the once very indifferent Lord of Ashes was now the extra-worldly god that responds most frequently now!
It was possible to get more responses with Continuous sacrifices… As long as there were a few more divine gifts, the overall strength of the Chaos Ember Order will be greatly enhanced.
The high priest couldn’t help but sigh that he had really caught up with a good era!
He even had the urge to burst into tears. Countless ancestors tried to revive the sect, but all they got over the millennia was a growing decline, and they were constantly besieged by the powerhouses of the Corona Church.
When he became the new high priest, he knew that there was only one mission for him.
Revive the Order!
He’s here!
His inspiration suddenly fluttered wildly, and intense fear rose straight up.
Even if it wasn’t the first time for the High Priest to face the great descent of the Lord of Ashes, he still couldn’t resist and keep a straight face.
He bowed his head in great reverence and no longer had any extra thoughts, but only a heartfelt feeling of admiration.
The surrounding high-ranking religious members also felt this strong, thick, and burning distorted aura.
Even though these dozens of members of the religious order all have distortion-level strength and were already considered masters in the other world, they still could not resist this monstrous aura if it has any substance.
The mind was chaotic and hot, and everyone temporarily lost their normal thinking ability. Once someone dared to look up, they would instantly become unconscious.
The only exception was Aina who presided over the sacrifice in front of the altar.
She eagerly opened her eyes, looking at the extra-worldly god who appeared not far away.
The incomparably huge body and the terrifying head of God were blurred in the mist.
The dark red skin and black flame form wings like a breathing flame, popping out fleeting ashes several times.
The great endless source of calamity, the Lord of Ashes who annihilates the stars!
Aina was so devout and had been looking forward to the advent of the Lord of Ashes.
In her heart, everything she owns was bestowed by God, so she wholeheartedly trusts in the great Lord of Ashes.
The sheer force of the impact made the kneeling members of the Order shudder!
This time only senior members were allowed to take part in the sacrificial event and the rest were asked to wait outside, in order to minimize losses.
Otherwise, once again the sanatorium filled with a large number of people… Many of the first group of Order members who went in have not yet been discharged.
——
Stepping out of the mist, Shen Yi calmly looked at the people kneeling on the ground, only Aina dared to raise her head slightly, and looked at him excitedly.
Then she also prostrated her and didn’t raise her head again.
‘I should exude a very strong aura of an extra-worldly god, and the image they see is also different from my real image’… Shen Yi was now certain.
After all, having been summoned so many times, he has already discovered the clues.
Aina, who was prostrate on the ground, slowly opened her mouth and said with devotion.
“Infinite disasters, the source of disasters”
“The Lord of Ashes who annihilated the Stars”
”Presenting you the fruit under the abyss of the Black Sea, the book of ten travelers.”
Shen Yi nodded slightly, without hesitation, and said: “I accept your sacrifice.”
As soon as his words fell, the black fruit and the yellowed note on the altar flew up and landed on his hands respectively.
He intended to do research on these new offerings to see what use they have once returning back to the coffee shop.
The prostrate people did not make any new movements.
Just waiting for an Extraterrestrial god to give orders, gifts, or do nothing to end everything.
As slaves of the gods, the members of the Order did not dare to make requests without authorization, and could only passively wait for a response… Unless it was a Divine son with a special status, an apostle, or an envoy of God would take the initiative to make requests to God.
Shen Yi thought for a while, then put away the black fruit, and showed the red apple that was taken out of the refrigerator not long ago with a smile.
It was still very fresh.
He had an impulse to take a bite.
