Ten years after the failed awakening, I became a god

Chapter 183 God-Given

Flower Sea City.

What Lan Yin didn't expect was that the place of sacrifice Bai Xi mentioned was actually the central square of Huahai City.

Isn’t this the place where Bai Xi was sacrificed by the people of the Divine Cult because he lost the Flower of Rebirth?

Although the five of them had already changed into the specific clothing of the cult before entering the center of the flower sea city, the black robes and hats covered their entire bodies, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

However, there are quite a few people in the center of the square, and it is inevitable that some spiritualists will see through the phenomenon to the essence and see through Bai Xi's spirit.

Aren’t you really afraid of being recognized by choosing this place?

Lan Yin swallowed the doubts that were on the tip of her tongue, because given her current identity, she shouldn't know about Bai Xi's past.

So she could only ask politely, "Isn't this a bit too conspicuous for the sacrifice? There are so many people here."

Bai Xi explained quietly, "This sacrificial ritual is a secret method of the Divine Cult. There are only two places in Huahai City where this ritual can be performed. One is the central square below us, and the other is the Divine Tree Grounds, a forbidden area of ​​the Divine Cult. The Divine Tree Grounds are even more dangerous. Although the central square is crowded, no one knows each other. I'll step out through a space, and the others in the square won't be able to see us."

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Who would have thought that they would be sacrificed to exchange lives for the cult right under the noses of the cult members.

Lan Yin nodded with some understanding, probably understanding what the other party meant.

Come to think of it, how could a sacrificial method like exchanging lives be carried out in just any place?

Anything related to life requires a huge price to pay.

"Start now?"

"Of course not. Wait until tonight."

It was a dark, windy, and moonless night, a time for murder and arson.

This sentence suddenly popped up in Lan Yin's mind.

"Then what are we doing in the central square so early?"

Bai Xi curled his lips and said, "Of course, some preparations need to be made. The method of sacrifice requires the right time, place, and people. It also requires the interference of some external factors, such as the night of the full moon, and the blood sacrifice formation."

Lan Yin understood that it was equivalent to the preoperative preparation for surgery.

But blood sacrifice? Whose blood? You Feng's?

Bai Xi said that when a person is conscious and willing to offer sacrifice, the probability of success is higher. But if it is a blood sacrifice, then wouldn't You Feng have to watch his body bleed to death?

Wouldn’t that be a bit too cruel?

Shi Zhen couldn't bear it when she heard this, and asked cautiously: "Sister Bai Xi, is it true that a living person is sacrificed..."

Bai Xi patted Shi Zhen and changed the subject, "Don't worry about any of this. I'll take care of everything. And don't give me any more trouble. The arrow is on the string and must be released. I want success right away."

Shizhen shut her mouth in grievance.

Central Square at night.

There were no lights on the central square at night, but the number of people coming and going was ten times that of the daytime. They were active in the central square, doing all kinds of strange movements and muttering to themselves.

It seems that people in the religion prefer to go out at night.

Lan Yin was a little curious: "Are they practicing?"

Apart from this, she really couldn't think of the reason for these strange movements.

Bai Xi glanced calmly at the chaotic crowd surrounding the central square and explained in a calm tone, "They are praying."

"prayer?"

Lan Yin was very puzzled. Influenced by the TV dramas she had watched in her previous life, she felt that praying should be a solemn and sacred thing, and everyone should be pious and silent.

Instead of dancing around like the people in the religion of God.

Bai Xi: "Yes, they are praying self-righteously, begging our great God to be kind enough to choose them and grant them a unique spiritual body, making them the next 'God-Gifted One.' Decades ago, a man prayed this same prayer in the central square. That day, that person was favored by the Gods and became a 'God-Gifted One,' possessing the unique spiritual body of the Divine Religion, and from then on, he was elevated above the ordinary Divine Religionists."

Lan Yin asked curiously, "Who is that person?"

Bai Xi responded impatiently, "You probably don't know him. That person is now the Wujiaosi of the Divine Cult."

Wu Jiaosi, Lan Yin remembered him because Wu Jiaosi also had two spirits in his body, which made him a relatively special existence in the Divine Religion.

It turns out that the other party is the 'God-given One'.

Bai Xi sneered, "Ever since the Wujiao Division, people have been praying these devious prayers every day in the central square. But decades have passed, and no one has ever become the next God-Given One."

"why?"

Lan Yin couldn't help but reply.

"Why?" Bai Xi chuckled. "Because these ignorant believers of the Divine Religion don't know that a blood sacrifice also took place in the central square that night. People only saw his prayers, but not the blood sacrifice. Naturally, they don't know that Wu Jiaosi was the only one who survived the sacrifice and ultimately became the God-Given One."

Lan Yin sighed: "Then he is quite lucky."

"Lucky bullshit!" Bai Xi couldn't help but curse. "That blood sacrifice was originally performed for him. How can such a predetermined outcome be called a gift from God?"

Lan Yin: “…”

It seems that there are some unknown past events here. In the past, she only thought that the Great Church and the Black Church were not in harmony, which led to the hostile relationship between Bai Xi and the Black Church.

Now it seems that Bai Xi's resentment towards the Wujiaosi is extremely deep.

Bai Xi glanced at the sky, and Lan Yin followed suit.

The night in Flower Sea City was much darker than that in either Ice Peak City of the Empire or Vision City of the Federation. In such a scene, the moon looked like a shimmering pearl about to be swallowed up by the endless darkness.

People who watched it felt a little nervous.

"Time is almost up, prepare to set up the space barrier."

As he spoke, Bai Xi began to place candles in a regular pattern in the center of the square.

Because the worshippers in the square were doing all kinds of things, Bai Xi's behavior of placing candles was not outstanding. Most of the believers of the cult were immersed in their own prayers and did not even spare a glance at Bai Xi.

A small number of people took a look and quickly turned away.

Soon, Bai Xi placed a circle of candles around the statue in the central square.

I don’t know what kind of candles Bai Xi bought. Although the night wind was a bit cold, not a single candle was blown out by the wind.

When placing the candles, Bai Xi stood closest to the statue, Hei Ya stood on the other side to keep watch, and Lan Yin stood a little further away from Bai Xi.

However, the two parties involved in this sacrifice, Shi Zhen and You Feng, were standing farther away from each other.

Shizhen's face did not look very happy, and You Feng was whispering something to Shizhen, seemingly trying to comfort her.

The three of them took one look at each other and then turned their eyes away from the two of them. It was the last night, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to let the two of them have a private chat.

"The formation is complete..."

"Bang····"

Bai Xi's voice and the sound of gunfire rang out at the same time, and the people in the square suddenly became chaotic.

Lan Yin turned around and saw a body falling straight down in front of her, with blood splattering out of the body.
