Seeking a Sacrifice

"I need to emphasize again, the practice of using one's destiny for sacrifice is not a good thing for the person being sacrificed!"

While it's not surprising that Grien was still lively and energetic after being sacrificed, Li Yingbo's ability to break through solid defenses after being sacrificed was the envy of many.

This news spread throughout the Sequence Circle in a short time, prompting Nagesi in the Thousand Islands Alliance to repeatedly inquire about it.

It seems that Zhang Xuezhou possesses the domain, but there are only Zhang Xuezhou and Mengtesi Badun in the Ninth Sequence, while there are only four people in the Eighth Sequence: Nagesi, Ren Yisheng, Chimon Haig, and Zhou Xin.

Li Yingbo is internationally renowned, but Li Yingbo ranks relatively low in the sequence group. Even after entering the Seventh Sequence, he would have been somewhat indistinguishable from the crowd. He had never been as low as he is now, ranking seventh in the sequence.

This ritual caused a great uproar among the group, with constant discussions and discussions leading everyone to seek the possibility of entering the Eighth Sequence.

Zhang Xuezhou had to repeatedly remind everyone that sacrificial rites were not something that could be held at will, and that even if they were held, there was no guarantee of any benefit; in fact, there was a high probability that they would bring harm.

"Uncle Li absorbed the pain of the Luofu Dynasty Dynasty's demise and then took over the Scarlet Alliance State's pursuit of development, which led to his control. In my personal understanding, this was more like a psychological stimulus, which led him to take an unconventional approach and achieve success!"

Zhang Xuezhou put down the communicator and began to summarize.

"So many people are subjected to mental stimulation, yet very few gain anything from it," Luo Burang said. "In my opinion, this was a spiritual baptism that resonated with Chairman Li, thus unlocking the secrets of his spirit!"

"That makes sense!"

After Li Yingbo recovered from the injection of the X864 gene therapy drug, some things became known to everyone, and tests were even conducted again.

Li Yingbo couldn't escape the despair of the second half, but he emerged from the first half, and the control he gained from the mental baptism was real.

Relying on his right hand to form a sword-finger shape, Li Yingbo's strike could reach twenty meters, and the closer the distance, the stronger the power, directly piercing through Zhao Tianhua's physical body.

Zhao Tianhua's physical body is not as strong as Zhou Rihui's or Zhang Xuezhou's, but after undergoing two sequence advancements, Zhao Tianhua's physical strength is extremely high, ranking among the top in the Seventh Sequence Holder.

The power of this control is astonishing, especially since Li Yingbo's control has not yet reached its limit and still has room for development.

"I'm wondering if I can break through the illusion in the second half, is it possible for me to develop a new domain?"

Awakening from his pale face and weakened spirit, Li Yingbo dispelled the shadow of death and even felt a sense of anticipation.

"Zhu Liangping was driven mad by the Yellow Path back then, but he's improved considerably since overcoming his trauma. Despite not having undergone any Gene Sequence training, his strength is no less than other Sixth Sequence Holder," Li Yingbo said. "Zhouzi, when will I meet the conditions for another one? I really want to undergo another spiritual baptism!"

"Uh, this ritual isn't a good thing. There are risks involved in running the ceremony, risks I'm not even aware of!"

"Everyone faces risks in their spiritual practice; don't tell me they're envious of my opportunity!"

I'm so envious!

Zhao Tianhua, who had been beaten, raised his right hand. He only regretted that he wasn't the one standing in the center of the formation flag, which resulted in him not only not gaining any advantage but also being hit by Li Yingbo.

If he hadn't been so tall and strong, that sword finger might have pierced the center of his head, and even Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't have been able to save him.

"I also envy spiritual baptism!"

Luo Burang shrugged, indicating that he made no difference.

Even with a slim chance of winning the lottery, some people persist in buying tickets their entire lives. So, it's not surprising that someone like Li Yingbo would be sacrificed and gamble away his life.

At least Li Yingbo had the opportunity, while others didn't, so it's normal for him to be envied.

"Hey, hey, answer me! Can I use the Thousand Islands Alliance I occupied for a sacrificial ceremony? I really want to enter the Ninth Sequence!"

"Yellow Dog is cursing you again. He hates the Thousand Islands Alliance for causing trouble and disrupting air transport, making it difficult to return home. He says all of this should have been his!"

"Yellow Dog said that the mysteries brought by the opportunity of the Fortune Technique can break all constraints. Someone like him who is prepared in advance can directly leap to the top if he takes advantage of it, and might even reach the Tenth Sequence. What do you think, if I try it, is there any hope of reaching the Ninth Sequence!"

"Hey, if you don't answer me, I'm going to start!"

"By the time you regain your senses in half a month, I should have a chance to unify the Thousand Islands Alliance!"

"Since a disaster has broken out here, maybe I can use it to win over the people and become as popular as Grean!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill all the sacrificial requests you mentioned!"

Nagesi, speaking into the communicator, started pressing for answers again.

Communication between the Thousand Islands Alliance and the Scarlet Alliance State is delayed; even through exclusive channels used by high-ranking officials, there is a lag of fifteen minutes or even longer.

Zhang Xuezhou and the others discussed it for a while, and then Nagesi's communications kept popping up.

This information left everyone stunned.

Given Nagesi's nature, the other party wasn't just making empty promises. Regardless of whether it would work or not, Nagesi would do it first, and then see if it would be useful later.

The current Scarlet Alliance State, Aomeijia Alliance, and British Alliance State are practically in cahoots, and the other side is relentlessly targeting the Thousand Islands Alliance, which hasn't joined the group, without any concern about taking sides.

Li Yingbo was about to send a text message to dissuade him, but then stopped himself.

Given the loose Thousand Islands Alliance, being ravaged by Nagesi might not actually be a bad thing.

In the past, the Thousand Islands Alliance could seek help from all sides. However, as the world became increasingly Qinmeng, and strange and Ferocious Beast continued to emerge, the Thousand Islands Alliance was overwhelmed and could only be left to fend for itself. Not to mention that the Thousand Islands Alliance is now facing a disaster, and the consequences of being a disorganized mess with each side acting independently are extremely serious.

"It's not entirely a bad thing!"

Li Yingbo finally pointed to the communication information and made a complaint.

"We don't have many ships built here, and our technology isn't developed yet. Once Nagesi stabilizes things with the Thousand Islands Alliance, we can get some large ships from there to transport supplies," Luo Burang said.

"Your Luo Gaogao said that the ship could be modified into the shape of an airport, thus enabling mobile Airbus-style emergency landings and takeoffs in the waters near Qinmeng," Li Yingbo said. "If it really works, we can use the shipyards in the Thousand Islands Alliance for experiments, which will also facilitate future operations in Qinmeng!"

"What Gaogao is talking about is nothing more than a larger offshore platform. Ship assembly technology can fully meet the requirements," Luo Burang said. "At the very least, we can construct a few artificial islands in shallow waters for temporary use!"

Li Yingbo and Luo Burang briefly explained the benefits of controlling the Thousand Islands Alliance, after which no one paid any more attention to Nagesi's actions, essentially pretending not to have received the message.

This also means that the Thousand Islands Alliance Parliament's plea for help will inevitably be ignored.

"I unfortunately fell ill during the sacrificial ceremony and need to recuperate. I will see you all again in half a month!"

Before even receiving the letter requesting help, Li Yingbo claimed to be ill and recuperating, in order to avoid any awkwardness when meeting the Thousand Islands Alliance in the future.

"I'll order some large flags to keep them from giving up!"

Zhang Xuezhou is not involved in politics, so he doesn't need to take a stand, and the Thousand Islands Alliance can't get anything from him anyway.

Thinking about the possible uses of the Luck Bead, and with many people eagerly requesting sacrifices, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it wouldn't hurt to make preparations in advance.

The consequences for others are uncertain, but Nagesi is extremely resilient; even if he were killed, he could come back to life. Zhang Xuezhou doesn't need to worry about the risks of Nagesi's sacrifice and can fully meet his demands.
