874 I Want Your Life
Huanhuan said slowly and softly, “He’s sleeping. He has to sleep for a long, long time before he wakes up.”
Eggy found it very strange. Why was he sleeping in broad daylight?
However, she did not ask further. In any case, it was none of her business.
The altar was quickly built.
At the same time, Jian Yi had awakened. Seeing that Huanhuan was safe and sound and knowing that He Zong had self-destructed, he felt relieved.
The altar was set up in the square at the foot of the divine mountain.
Due to time constraints, the altar was very simple. The stones were pieced together to form a round platform, and there was a stone pillar in the middle. The surface of the pillar was very smooth with nothing on it.
Huanhuan summoned the butterfly flowers.
The butterfly flowers gathered together and worked together to lift her into the air.
Huanhuan carved the totem on the surface of the stone pillar according to the appearance of the altar in her memory.
The bone knife was made from the horn of a unicorn, so it was very sharp. It could easily leave very deep marks on the stone pillar.
When the totem on the surface of the stone pillar was done, the butterfly flowers placed Huanhuan back on the ground.
Huanhuan continued to carve totems on the floor.
By the time the entire 10,000 beast totem was finished, the sun was about to set.
Fortunately, she seemed to have endless energy in her body. Even after working for so long, she did not feel tired at all.
When she was carving the totem, Chen Yuan had already ordered people to clear the area. Other than the few of them, there was no one else in the square.
Huanhuan changed into her sacrificial dress and walked up to the altar. She used the bone knife to cut her palm.
Blood flowed out continuously and landed on the ground. It spread along the carvings and finally gathered at the 10,000 beast totem.
The entire altar glowed red.
Even the knowledgeable Zao Nian could not help but kneel down at this moment. He knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation and kept muttering, “The beast gods have appeared. May you bless the beast continent with good weather and no more wars. May the merfolk be safe for generations…”
Huanhuan slowly began to dance the Dance of the Gods.
Countless green light spots overflowed from her body and scattered everywhere like willow catkins.
After they landed, they immediately took root and germinated, growing into large grasslands.
Jian Yi and Chen Yuan also knelt down.
In the sky, the red sunset roiled with it, transforming into many magical scenes. It was as if there were many invisible gods hidden behind those clouds.
They were watching the land.
A voice echoed in Huanhuan’s ears.
“What are you praying for?”
Huanhuan said silently as she danced, “I pray for peace in the world. I pray that there will be no more war in this land.”
The voice continued, “Your wish is too big. Just a little blood is not enough to fulfill this wish.”
“What else do you want?”
“I want your life.”
After Huanhuan danced the last movement, she knelt on the ground with her hands crossed in front of her chest. She lay on the ground with her forehead pressed against the ground. She said, “Deal.”
The voice seemed to be surprised by her straightforwardness and could not help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“I’m very afraid of death, but if my death can make my family safe and happy, I’m willing to die.”
The voice laughed. “Good …”
The divine pillar suddenly lit up with golden light.
This time, the light was even more dazzling than before.
It almost lit up half the sky. Even the sunset was outshone.
When the beasts in the City of 10,000 Beasts saw this scene, they all knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the divine pillar, shouting miracles!
An endless stream of vitality flowed out of Huanhuan’s body and into the divine pillar. Then, it was teleported to the divine pillars in other parts of the Orc Continent.
In the various beast cities, the divine pillars suddenly shone brightly.
Countless golden light spots mixed with green starlight overflowed. Once all the injured beasts came into contact with them, not only did their wounds heal, but their strength also increased greatly.
Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling used the power brought by these light spots to break through their shackles. Bai Di and Shuang Yun entered the demigod realm one after another. Meanwhile, Xue Ling’s body glowed with divine light.
Even the sunset was gathering toward him.
Xue Ling’s expression changed. He was not happy about becoming a god at all. He turned his head and shouted at Bai Di and Shuang Yun, “I don’t have much time. Go!”
Once he became a god, he would soon be forced to leave the beast continent and enter another world.
This was why Xue Ling had always refused to cross the last hurdle despite being so close to becoming a god.
He would rather shamelessly stay in the beast continent than go to that godforsaken place where he could only live every day without any hope. Even death would be an extravagant hope.
The three of them became much stronger and joined forces to attack Yan.
After Yan accidentally touched those light spots, his body was burned in many places, and his strength also decreased a lot. At this moment, he was surrounded by three experts above the demigod realm, and he was quickly defeated.
Xue Ling did not dare to stop at all.
He was running out of time.
The moment Yan was defeated, Xue Ling rushed up without thinking and pierced Yan’s chest with his claw, burning him to ashes.
Seeing his younger brother killed, Zhi was so furious that his eyes almost split open.
He could not be bothered to command the demon army. He flew into the sky and charged at Xue Ling, vowing to avenge his brother!
Zhi was very cunning and good at reading people’s minds, but his strength was even lower than his younger brother Yan.
If it was in the past, he might have been able to hold on for a while.
But now, under the suppression of the other party’s powerful strength, Zhi was quickly severely injured and smashed to the ground!
Xue Ling was about to rush up and finish him off when he saw a bolt of lightning descend from the sky and strike him!
This was a sign that the heavens were urging him to leave the beast continent as soon as possible.
Xue Ling immediately had the urge to kill. Why did the lightning strike have to come at this critical moment?!
He had to stop in midair and make a 360-degree turn to barely avoid the lightning strike.
Seeing that one bolt of lightning did not hit him, the heavens quickly sent down two more bolts of lightning.
No matter where Xue Ling ran, the two bolts of lightning followed him persistently. From the looks of it, they would not stop until they struck him.
Bai Di and Shuang Yun were stunned.
Shuang Yun could not help but ask loudly, “What did you do to be chased by lightning?”
While dodging, Xue Ling took the time to roar, “Don’t just stand there. Go and kill Zhi!”
It was no wonder that Bai Di and Shuang Yun were making a fuss. They had never seen anyone being chased by lightning. Xue Ling was definitely the first person in history. He was too awesome!
At Xue Ling’s reminder, Bai Di and Shuang Yun immediately turned around and chased after Zhi.
After Zhi landed on the ground, he immediately got up and dragged his heavily injured body to escape.
However, before he could run a few steps, he was stopped by Bai Di and Shuang Yun.
