A Sacrifice to the Gods, a Person of Ill Omen

Eternal Continent.

For the entire Vast Land, it is an exceptionally boundless place.

The Cultivation Resources are incredibly abundant.

Because the entire continent is the territory of the Light God Clan.

Therefore, the Spirit Plant on the Eternal Continent are exceptionally lush, and the same medicinal herbs are several times more potent than those in other regions.

At the same time.

The chances of obtaining sacred and divine medicines on the Eternal Continent are far greater than in the outside world.

Majestic mountains, towering and magnificent, and above the clouds, a group of people are on their way.

It was Chen Ning and his group who set off from the Grand One God Clan.

This trip to the Eternal Continent, where the Light God Clan resides, is still uncertain, so Chen Ning has brought a relatively large number of people with him.

Hua Luo, the little monk, Nalan Yao, Bai Ziyu, Xue Rang, Old Man Yang, Ding Erliang all came together.

On the road.

According to Nalan Yao, the First-Generation Sect Master did indeed visit the Eternal Continent, but none of them accompanied him at that time.

I don't know exactly who I met or what I did.

But it's not too important; Chen Ning can investigate on his own.

"Beyond this mountain lies the City of Light, the very heart of our race."

The Divine Daughter of Light Ji Hongyi, introduced them to Chen Ning.

Then, she looked at Hua Luo, Nalan Yao, and the others, and said, "They might not be allowed to enter the city. Perhaps we should have them wait somewhere else."

Why is that?

Chen Ning was puzzled.

Ji Hongyi blinked her beautiful eyes and said frankly, "They were once sacrificed, and are Curse. In the eyes of many important figures in the clan, they are considered unlucky, so they are not allowed to enter the City of Light."

"Offerings?"

Chen Ning frowned.

"The so-called sacrifices, the leaders, are often individuals with extraordinary destinies chosen by the God Clan to be offered as sacrifices to the deities and to obtain power from them. Then, the God Clan take that power from us, and after that, we sacrifices are no longer of any use."

Nalan Yao chuckled and said, "Actually, to be more precise, we can only be considered containers, containers that bear the power of the gods."

These offerings once carried the power of the gods. Although they were taken away, many of them were gifted enough to explore and master that former power.

However, this move is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.

"We are not divine beings, so wielding and using divine power will harm us, and we often do not live long."

Ding Erliang's tone also became more serious.

Finally, Bai Ziyu laughed and said, "Chief, we are among the longest-lived of the sacrifices, especially Old Man Yang, who has refrained from making a move for many years. He has certainly taken good care of himself."

The Old Man Yang gave a dry laugh.

In fact, even though he hadn't used that power for many years, the Purgatory Fire was still constantly eroding his life.

During the time of the Grand One God Clan, because Emperor Yu was so domineering, many people dared not express their dissent even if they had reservations about their identities.

But this is now the territory of the Light God Clan.

Naturally, they wouldn't allow these sacrificial offerings to enter.

"So... Hua'er were once used as offerings?"

Chen Ning's voice was already filled with deep anger.

Nalan Yao nodded and said, "Hua Luo's situation is a bit more special; she must have fully embodied the power of a certain god."

"What does this mean?"

"Simply put, that god poured all his power into Hua Luo Maiden, but she clearly couldn't bear it, so her soul was obliterated, and she became... became..."

"Go on."

"The walking dead."

He remained silent upon seeing Chen Ning.

Nalan Yao speculated, "We were all chosen because of our unique destinies, and we all wanted to fully bear the power of the gods. Sister Hua Luo was probably chosen before she was even born and given a specific destiny. The God Clan who made her a sacrifice was probably very powerful."

"Explain more clearly."

Chen Ning practically squeezed these words out between his teeth.

Nalan Yao slowly said, "It might be one of the Eight Great God Clans."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning's eyes instantly turned pitch black, and the demonic intent emanating from his body seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer.

The Heaven-Burying Devil Scripture was activated.

An aura of terror permeated the air.

It seemed poised to annihilate the heavens and the earth.

Seeing this, Ji Hongyi hurriedly pointed a finger at Chen Ning's brow, and strands of holy light surged in, gradually fading the demonic intent in Chen Ning's eyes.

"You seemed so rational, how come you've lost your composure at this moment?"

Ji Hongyi said calmly.

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning's heart also trembled. Normally, he would never be devoured by demonic intent, but today, having learned such a cruel truth, his concern clouded his judgment.

In addition, he had just comprehended the Heaven-Burying Devil Scripture.

I didn't fully grasp it.

It also incorporates the life experiences of the Heaven-Slaying Devil God.

At this moment, the demonic nature within him had become somewhat stronger.

That's why the situation just now occurred.

Thank you.

Chen Ning thanked Ji Hongyi, then looked at Hua Luo, gently stroking the girl's cheek with eyes full of affection.

No matter who it is, no matter which God Clan belong to, Chen Ning has already sworn an oath to annihilate their entire race one day!

"Chief, please entrust Hua Luo our protection. Rest assured, we will do our utmost to safeguard her during your stay in the City of Light."

Nalan Yao said softly.

The Old Man Yang also smiled and said, "Chief, there's no need to worry about us. The Eternal Continent is so vast; we've been wanting to explore it ourselves."

"No, we'll enter the city together."

Chen Ning's attitude was firm.

Then, he looked at Ji Hongyi and said, "I don't care whether they are Curse or not. I only know that they are all my partners, and none of them can be missing."

Ji Hongyi also said with some difficulty, "Getting them to come here is already the limit."

"If you can't do it, then our cooperation ends here."

After Chen Ning finished speaking...

He then took Hua Luo's hand and prepared to head back the way they came.

This scene.

This surprised Nalan Yao and the others.

They never expected that the leader would go to such lengths for them.

Of course, it might be because of Hua Luo that the leader was so determined, but if only Hua Luo were brought in, Ji Hongyi, the Divine Daughter of Light, wouldn't have too much of a problem.

But the leader still insisted on bringing everyone into the city.

Moreover, they were willing to sacrifice cooperation.

You need to know.

Once the leader leaves the territory of the Light God Clan, he will be exposed to the clutches of the Darkness God Clan.

That was an extremely dangerous situation.

But the leader remained resolute.

The group of people who So Close Yet Worlds Apart were not stupid; on the contrary, they were quite shrewd, so they naturally understood all of this.

At this time.

They were all somewhat moved.

Even Xue Rang, who was usually taciturn, softened his stiff face slightly.

Even they themselves didn't realize it.

From that moment on, they actually began to consider working for the leader.

Because.

Only they themselves truly understand how unwelcome they are as sacrificial offerings.

Just as Chen Ning and the others were flying away into the distance.

Ji Hongyi finally spoke helplessly, "I give up. I can bring them all into the city, but you must keep a low profile and avoid any disputes with anyone."
