Divine Power from the Laughing Moon Cult?
The strange occurrence went unnoticed by anyone in the darkness, but Shen Hui noticed it.
However, the ritual had already begun, and the corpses on it turned into pools of blood almost instantly.
The flesh and bones vanished without a trace.
Shen Hui tried to stop them, but it was too late; all he could do was offer a reminder.
"Everyone be careful, the formation ritual has just been activated!"
Hearing Shen Hui's words, everyone was taken aback.
"What! You can see? What's going on? What do we do?!"
"Go stop them! Damn it, I can't see anything!"
"Shen Hui, what's the situation now? Is there any danger?"
Listening to the cacophony of voices, Shen Hui only gave the key answer, "There's no danger for now."
At this moment, after the flesh and blood on each node disappeared, the inscribed array lit up.
As a mysterious power began to emanate, the space itself hummed and trembled violently.
The others only saw the array's light flash and appear, after which the darkness that had permeated the area like a curtain began to recede like a tide.
Everyone regained their sight; the burning materials they had lit on the wall to illuminate the scene were still burning.
As previously speculated, it was covered by darkness.
Everyone immediately looked behind them, at the location where they had previously seen the formation.
The formation that caused the corpses to vanish left only blood.
The blood began to flow along the patterns carved into the array, turning the entire array blood red and radiating light.
However, the light emitted by the formation was not so dazzling under the firelight.
They could feel the aura emanating from the array in the space, and the ripples spreading out in concentric circles.
Everyone looked solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
At least half of the people emanated an aura of the Creation World.
It is in a loaded state, ready to be triggered at any time to summon its own Creation World to face the impending crisis.
As for the instability of this space and the spatial rifts, we'll have to deal with those after we survive.
But as Shen Hui said, there is no danger for the time being, at least not except for the activation of the array ritual.
Ye Long, who was also ready to go, nervously asked, "Brother Shen, what did you see in the darkness just now? How did the ritual start?"
This was also the question on everyone's mind. Everyone glanced at Shen Hui, but quickly turned their attention back to the formation.
Shen Hui shook his head. "I don't know. It suddenly activated in the darkness, and the corpses quickly turned into blood."
"Damn it, whatever, we'll just ruin this ritual."
Someone shouted and tried to wipe the array carved on the ground with their foot.
But when he stretched out his foot, he hit an invisible wall of air. Unconvinced, the opponent kicked him with all his might.
Bang~
A deafening roar resounded, and even the power of the Creator Form could not shake it.
Seeing this, someone suggested, "Let's evacuate here first. It's safe now anyway, at least we can contact the people up there once we get back to the surface."
Many people nodded in agreement, even though everyone present was quite capable.
The Creation World is mostly filled with beings around level nine, with the lowest being Shen Hui, Zhuge Hongjing, and Ye Long.
Aside from Shen Hui, there's also Zhuge Hongjing, whose exact strength is unknown, making Ye Long the weakest.
It was even so weak that it felt somewhat out of place.
He nodded quickly. "Yes, everyone, let's go out first."
The minority must submit to the majority, and besides, there's really nothing they can do here.
Everyone began to walk into the tunnel, preparing to return to the surface.
However, just after everyone entered the tunnel, the ceremony that was to be started here took another unexpected turn.
The array's light began to shine brightly, and a power was constantly accumulating, giving the feeling that it was about to explode.
Boom~
A loud bang was heard, and the flames lit in the tunnel flickered.
A cool, divine aura suddenly erupted, and azure light burst forth from the formation.
The commotion here finally drew everyone's attention, especially to the divinity that was so stimulating to the senses and to their respective Creation World.
"What happens!"
"Go back and check quickly!"
Rather than leaving directly, it's better to go back and confront the danger that's coming and deal with it.
Everyone immediately turned around and saw the formation emitting a blue light that gradually faded.
It transformed into the feeling of cool, serene moonlight.
The patterns inscribed in the array intertwined at this moment, casting corresponding light in mid-air.
At the very center of the intersection, that is where divinity erupts.
The power there was constantly gathering, and in the next second, an even more intense divine aura erupted from it.
Boom~
Another loud bang echoed through the space, forming a cool, luminous sphere of energy at the point of convergence.
It was like a miniature version of the full moon hanging there.
The light emanating from the formation dimmed and finally went out completely, signifying the end of the ritual.
The only thing left was that energy sphere, shaped like a full moon, constantly shifting and shimmering in mid-air.
A rich, divine aura, like the scent of photinia, tantalized everyone's sense of smell.
Everyone saw the completed ceremony and the remaining "full moon".
They all stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief.
"This... this is it? What's going on? What was the purpose of this ritual?"
"There's no danger either. What about the world the Laughing Moon Cult believes in? What about their gods? None of them have manifested."
"That... it seems to be a pure Divine Power, hiss~ such a rich aura."
"Could it be that the rituals performed by the Laughing Moon Cult are meant to summon the Divine Power of their worshipped deity?"
"However, something went wrong with the ritual before, which led to what we saw when we came in. And now... the ritual has somehow started again, and the Divine Power of the Laughing Moon Cult has been summoned!"
Everyone who heard this person's speculation felt it was a bit like science fiction.
This mass of divinity, which is not controlled by anyone, can still be refined and absorbed by other deities, even though it belongs to them.
In one's own Creation World, the more the merrier.
Everyone present, each with their own creative World Will, expressed a longing for this divine essence.
But could such a coincidence really happen?
Indeed, there was no danger; everyone watched the Divine Power silently floating in mid-air.
Someone suggested, "Why don't we absorb him? Everyone gets a share, so let's divide it up."
Some people were interested, but none immediately agreed.
"Then you go first?"
"If I absorb it first... I'll ask for two more portions."
"OK."
"I have no objection."
With everyone agreeing, the man approached the divine object with trepidation and reached out his left hand to touch it.
