Chapter 43 Sacrificing a precious treasure!
Huang Tian finally understood that if he couldn't give the NPC a satisfactory answer, he probably wouldn't be able to get his hands on that sacrificial array.
So he tried to immerse himself in the role and searched for an explanation that could be logically closed.
"He called us here to revive humanity, not to make us His followers! As long as it helps to revive humanity, who cares what kind of power it is!"
I don't believe in light and order, so it should be okay for me to worship evil gods, right?
"..."
Logster looked up at Huang Tian in horror; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
David, standing to the side, instinctively gripped the Blade of Courage tucked at his waist, and his eyes, looking at Huang Tian, became slightly filled with fear.
But nothing happened, and Huang Tian looked at the two terrified people with great confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"There isn't any... Could it be that all the records are fake?"
David couldn't help but mutter to himself, prompting Huang Tian to ask a question.
"What do you mean there's nothing here? What records are there?"
David replied, “By the highest heavens, your words have been blasphemous. According to the ancient texts, those who possess divine power and blaspheme against their gods will be met with terrible divine punishment!”
"Is that so? Perhaps it's because our identity as heroes is rather special."
Huang Tian was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing that his reasoning might have been too strong, so he immediately began to make amends and asked again.
"So, can I have the evil god's sacrificial array?"
This time, Logster didn't insist and decisively took a book out of his chest.
He feared that if this continued, the hero might utter some more blasphemous remarks.
Become!
Upon seeing Logster take out the book, Huang Tian happily accepted it.
I flipped through it casually, and my brows immediately furrowed.
As expected of an evil god, there isn't a single character in this book who doesn't seem evil.
After becoming a sorcerer by offering sacrifices to an evil god, the sorcerer is required to offer sacrifices to the evil god every so often.
If the sacrifice is successful, the sorcerer can gain power from the evil god; however, if the sacrifice is stopped for a long time, the evil god will take the sorcerer's life.
The evil god described in this book is called the Time and Space Ruler, and one can obtain power related to time and space from Him through sacrifice.
After searching for a long time, Huang Tian finally found the method to draw a teleportation array from the evil god—in a sacrificial array, kill four intelligent beings using a specific method while chanting…
Huang Tian closed the book and looked at Logster, asking, "What is an intellectual life?"
"Intellectual life is..."
Logster began to explain that life in this world is roughly divided into two categories. One category consists of non-intelligent creatures like magical beasts and trees, while the other category consists of intelligent life forms like humans, orcs, and elves.
Logster and his men usually ambush lone, weak orcs and bring them back to the rebel base to be sacrificed.
Those guys have abandoned their human identity, so they can no longer be considered human.
"I see!"
After listening to Logster's explanation, Huang Tian nodded thoughtfully.
Logster suggested that if Huang Tian wanted to truly communicate with the evil god, he could kidnap orcs to serve as sacrifices.
Huang Tian felt that it would be a bit troublesome, and then his gaze fell on the members of the Starry Sky Team.
Perhaps, this is worth a try!
With that in mind, Huang Tian asked Logster for the materials to draw the sacrificial array.
Logster didn't have any extra materials, but he had a pre-drawn sacrificial circle.
So, Logster led Huang Tian to the sacrificial circle.
Just as Logster was wondering when Huang Tian was going to capture orcs to be sacrificed, he saw Huang Tian call the other heroes over.
"Old Li, you become the sorcerer, and the rest of you will be the sacrifices!"
Huang Tian sent the sacrificial procedure and incantation to Lao Li through the chat group and made personnel arrangements very decisively.
"Boss, why was I made the sorcerer?"
Old Li asked, puzzled.
Huang Tian explained, "The teleportation array needs to be drawn manually. You're good at math, so your drawing skills should be excellent!"
Although his true intention was to control the teleportation array, he didn't want to waste the knights he had painstakingly trained.
"Alright!"
Old Li didn't say much; after all, the other party was the boss.
Those who were making the offerings didn't have much to say, and were even a little excited because it was their first time making offerings.
Then, Logster witnessed an extremely horrifying scene.
These heroes, summoned by the God of Light, openly sacrificed their companions in order to obtain the power of the sorcerer, and completed the bloody and bizarre sacrifice without batting an eye.
"David, are you sure they are heroes summoned by the God of Light, and not followers of some evil god?"
Logster always felt that this group of heroes were even more like sorcerers than he, a sorcerer himself.
"The Holy Light can't lie, can it?"
David said this, but deep down he was also a little insecure.
While the rebel leaders were astonished by the heroes' actions, Ai, sitting in the divine realm, sensed a familiar power trying to steal power from her through the player's connection with her.
In a split second, Ai confirmed the location of the accident and was very puzzled by it.
Hmm, what are they up to now, Heaven above?
Ai turned her gaze to Huang Tianzai, looking speechlessly at the group of players who were trying to communicate with the evil god and were offering themselves as sacrifices.
In theory, after a sacrifice is offered, the soul of the offering will be taken by an evil god.
However, due to the player's unique nature, the evil god, unable to collect souls, extended its reach to Ai through the connection.
Time and space dominator...
Memories of the [Gluttonous Dragon] surfaced in Ai's mind, and she vaguely remembered that this guy was also a member of a powerful god a thousand years ago.
Because he tried to help the Gluttonous Dragon when the Holy Throne of Light attacked him, he was shot by the Holy Throne of Light and his essence and authority were destroyed on the spot, causing him to perish.
It seems that this guy didn't completely perish; he's still able to develop his power in the real world!
"The power of spacetime? A teleportation array... Hey, this is practically an update patch!"
Ai offered no resistance, simply following the connection with the player and letting the force pull her towards it.
The next moment, Ai was pulled by that force into the rebel base and appeared on the sacrificial circle.
The Ai who appears here now is equivalent to the player's soul being taken away as a sacrifice.
Ai glanced at the players and the rebel leaders who looked bewildered by her appearance, then continued to let the draining power originating from other evil gods pull her into an unknown space.
Meanwhile, the Time-Space Dominator, who was hiding in an underground cave and barely surviving, was only instinctively accepting sacrifices from mortals, but he did not expect that these mortals would send him a glittering golden treasure.
