After the villagers neatly completed their first kowtow, the stone disk on the very bottom layer of the altar actually began to turn.
Immediately after, the villagers kowtowed a second time, and the altar's sixth layer began turning as well.
The villagers kowtowed seven times in total. All seven stone disks of the altar rotated, giving off golden-yellow streams of light.
Lu Feng's gaze traveled from the bottom upward until it reached the very top. To his surprise, he discovered that his memories had changed somewhat.
In his original memories, there had been a strange one-eyed pattern at the center of the altar's top disk, with three peculiar pillars standing around it.
But at this moment, there was something else.
A ferocious beast emanating an ancient primordial aura was crouched at the center of the altar's top disk. Its body resembled a tiger and a leopard, while a pair of terrifying fangs grew from its face.
Three chains of light extended from the three stone pillars around it, piercing through the beast's torso and binding it in place.
Lu Feng glanced at the beast's fierce eyes. With just that single glance, his soul sea began to churn violently.
Lu Feng's feet moved beyond his control, and he began walking forward slowly, as though something unseen was calling to him.
His eyes were unfocused and his gaze dull, like a puppet on strings.
Had Lu Feng been conscious at this moment, he would have realized that the ferocious beast on the altar's top disk was not a living creature, but a lifelike statue.
The main body of the beast statue had actually been fashioned into a rectangular coffin.
As Lu Feng approached, the coffin lid on the beast's back opened by itself, and Lu Feng obediently lay down inside.
