Chapter 1047 - 562: Jiujiang Holy Land! Grand Banquet of the Dragon God!
Chapter 1047 - 562: Jiujiang Holy Land! Grand Banquet of the Dragon God!
Although nowadays, this world has already fused into one, forming a vast universe.
But according to the discourse between Gods and Demons, this land is called the Green Emperor World!
"..."
Having traveled here, Lin Yan's identity is no longer that of a three-eyed demon nor an unparalleled wanderer comparable to imperial lineage.
He is merely a member of the Human Clan at the Creation Level!
Although not a boy or girl under the age of ten, he is still an extraordinary sacrifice!
And escorting this sacrifice is a winged White Ape, along with the Ancient Divine Beast, Kui Bull.
But behind Lin Yan, there are nearly a hundred boys and girls.
During the day, a Venerate of the Gods and Demons lusted after Lin Yan and intended to rob him, only to be slain by the Little White Ape wielding the Night Illuminating Divine Sword.
Thus, he casually extinguished the companions of this demon and received nearly a hundred boys and girls sent by the other party.
Originally worried that upon entering Jiujiang Holy Land, such flamboyance would make them easy targets.
Unexpectedly, occurrences like this seem quite frequent.
Between the Gods and Demon Evils, there is little courtesy and no concept of peace, much less any rules or order.
Encounters along the way often lead to survival of the fittest.
On the journey to Jiujiang Holy Land, if the gifts were insufficient, it was not uncommon to plunder another's sacrifices, intercept, and rob midway.
"Hmm?"
Ahead lies a clan of Divine Demon Clan, setting up bonfire.
More than twenty Gods and Demons, all fierce beasts.
Only the leader vaguely has a humanoid form, yet still bears hair and horns.
Holding a child's leg, blood fills his mouth while another leg roasts over the fire.
"Raw eating is fresh, but roasting smells better."
This demon spoke, gazing at Little White Ape and Niu Yan, clicking his tongue, "Over a hundred boys and girls, plus a being surpassing tier..."
"On this journey, I indulged myself and ate over two hundred, fearing the quantities wouldn't match and worried about punishment by the king later."
"Here, supplementing with a hundred, only missing about a hundred, such discrepancy isn't large, just counted as dying of exhaustion or dragged away by evils, wasted from the journey, aligns with common logic."
Having said this, this demon coldly commanded: "Little ones, form up, collect these hundred sacrifices."
After some moments.
Bodies pile upon the ground.
All twenty-plus demons were annihilated.
The head of the demons, horrified, exclaimed: "I carry the bloodline of the Master of Rain, a royal lineage of the current age, dare you bring disaster upon yourself!"
Before the voice fell, the blade gleamed!
This demon was cleaved in half by Little White Ape wielding the blade.
Niu Yan opened his mouth, unleashing thunder, reducing it to ashes.
Lin Yan's gaze slightly tightened, thinking: "Among the royal lineages of Green Emperor World, a descendant of Master of Rain?"
Based on recent intelligence, Lin Yan had gained a general understanding of the myriad clans within this realm.
The Master of Rain was from the Ancient Era, one of the True Gods within the Thunder Department among Immortal Gods.
His authority was to command clouds and assist Heavenly God from Thunder Department in unleashing thunder.
According to legend, when the Master of Rain fell, his Divine Body shattered, leaving only True Spirit, gathering Mana and Qi-Blood, forming a torrential rain that deluged the world.
In that world, all life touched by the rain became descendants of the Master of Rain.
Later that world collided into this realm, merging each other, among surviving life, forming a clan known as the Rain Clan.
"Master, there are over a thousand boys and girls here."
Little White Ape glanced around, murmuring softly.
Lin Yan nodded slightly: "Rain Clan as royalty, and water-related, might have intentions to ally with the Jiujiang Dragon God, not purely as an offering... These thousands of boys and girls should be just a minor portion."
Not all Divine Demon Clans aggregate all sacrifices at one singular place and escort directly.
Some Divine Demon Clans are rather scattered or due to various reasons, including differences in the origin of boys and girls...
So there's also split escorting, upon arrival at the gates of Jiujiang Holy Land, combining them all into one, offering to the Holy Land.
"Is it too many?"
Niu Yan hesitated momentarily, replied: "Previously we planned to bring this hundred because Shangguan Shang is too far away, unable to keep pace, difficult to manage, and with a hundred children as sacrifices, it wouldn't be too conspicuous."
He whispered, "If a fight erupts, striving to protect these hundred kids behind us, barely feasible, too many make it hard to safeguard! In the impact, they would perish undoubtedly."
"Abandoning them here leads to certain death as well."
Little White Ape remarked, "Just these few kids, in the wilderness, countless evils, Gods and Demons lurking, how could they survive?"
As the voice fell, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword suddenly slipped, dispersing blade light.
Nearby evils quietly approached, attempting to snatch some children as Blood Food.
Under the sword light, exterminating evils.
"Abandoning them here isn't right."
Lin Yan mused: "Bring them, see if on the way there's a suitable place for arrangement, if none, keep them beside us... At that time, strive to protect them, if indeed unable to, just count it as their fate."
That said, he inhaled deeply.
In the past, he might have chosen to save these kids' lives, retreating, abandoning the assassination of the Jiujiang Dragon God.
But on this journey, he realized the presence of the Jiujiang Dragon God and various Divine Demon Clans would cause even greater harm.
The amount of boys and girls sent into Jiujiang Holy Land might exceed the millions.
Nearly approaching the total population of the thirty-six tribes of the south!
