Chapter 632 Sacrifice Ceremony
Years are like a shuttle.
It had been more than six years since the Black Star left Danara. After a long journey, it finally arrived near the Gezan plane. The battleship slowed down and stopped after finding a suitable hiding place.
"How is it, can I contact your real body?"
In a room on the battleship, Ivan asked Mavis who had just woken up from a deep sleep.
"No, in the past, it was always the main body that took the initiative to convey the instructions, and I couldn't contact her." Mavis carefully sensed for a while, then shook her head in disappointment:
"My main body has been exiled for many years, so my strength must have been greatly depleted. Moreover, there are enemies watching from the dark, so I shouldn't act rashly."
"In this case, we can only enter the fairy plane first and then find a way to contact her."
Hearing this, Ivan did not force it. In fact, there was another important reason. The time they agreed on was a hundred years, but now it was advanced by more than ten years.
If the other party has been in deep sleep for these years and ignored everything in the outside world, he might not know that they have already started to act.
Compared to Mavis's true form, Ivan's perception of Templer was exceptionally clear.
Coincidentally, just as he thought of Templer, Templer was summoning him with a secret method. He gestured to Mavis and projected his consciousness over along the mysterious call.
After arriving in the Gezan plane, Ivan's consciousness turned into a phantom, which was lifelike.
"Temple has seen the Lord."
This is like a secret room, and Temple is the only one in the room.
Ivan looked inside and outside the secret room and found that he was in a temple. The temple was not big, but it had everything he needed. It was the temple of the God of Knights. It could be seen that Temple had developed very well in the past two years.
"No need to be polite, just tell me about your recent situation."
“My Lord, the Black Star Fighting Qi has now spread throughout the Frozen Bone Wasteland and has quietly spread to many areas of the Wild Beast Kingdom. However, for the sake of caution, it has not been spread to important cities.
As more and more orcs cultivate Black Star Fighting Qi, my own strength is also rising. I should be only one step away from breaking through to the Lord level."
Temple did not dare to be negligent and reported the development situation truthfully. It can be said that the development in recent years has been unusually smooth.
Ivan nodded slightly. Templer was his clone, and he could tell the strength of the person. However, one thing was quite surprising: no one in the Wild Beast Kingdom was causing trouble.
"The situation in this Wild Beast Kingdom is quite interesting." He said after pondering for a few seconds.
"My Lord, do you mean there is something fishy going on here?" Temple's face turned a little ugly, but he still sounded confident in his statement just now.
"No, on the contrary. I think the situation is favorable to us. Someone should allow you to develop here. Perhaps, when you are promoted to the lord level, we will see the result."
"this--"
"Relax, those people are most likely friends, not enemies."
Although the land where the Wild Beast Kingdom is located is barren, it is a place of faith and gods. However, the gods here condone the development of the power of the God of Knights, and there is undoubtedly a deeper level of consideration in it.
Considering the relationship between the Gezan plane and the fairy plane, the identity of the gods behind this land becomes clear.
The reason why Temple knew nothing about those people was that his strength was too low and he was not qualified to become their ally for the time being. This would save Ivan a lot of trouble.
"Temple."
"My Lord, please give your orders."
"Be prepared, you will be promoted to lord soon."
"Temple understands!"
Temple didn't hesitate at all to follow his master's orders.
He understood his mission very well. If he remained at the pseudo-lord level, he would not be able to complete his mission at all, which he could not accept.
After saying a few more words, Ivan's shadow disappeared into the secret room.
Half a month passed in a flash.
In the Frozen Bone Wasteland, the city of Wizilan has become more and more lively in recent days. A large number of orcs who believe in the god of justice have come and settled in the city.
The city was full, so the believers set up tents outside the city.
It was because not long ago, the great God of Justice issued a decree that he would descend on Wiziland soon and spread his divine light to this land and to the knights who believed in him.
For this purpose, the temple specially issued a call to summon believers from all directions to participate in the sacrificial ceremony and welcome the arrival of the great God of Knights.
As a devout believer, how could I miss such a grand event?
Another three days passed, and on this much-anticipated day, the sacrificial ceremony began.
The state of Wiziland, from the temple to the central square next to it, to the surrounding streets, and the streets of the outer city, are all crowded with orcs, including goat-horned people, pig-headed people of the Pig tribe, werewolves of the Wolf tribe, dog-headed people of the Dog tribe, centaurs of the House tribe, and so on.
From a distance, everything looks orderly.
"My Lord, Templer Marichatton, you are the great, just, and omniscient God of Knights. You generously bestowed the Black Star Fighting Spirit upon those who have lost their way."
Led by the legendary Knight Commander Rob, the orcs' prayers merged into a hymn, praising the glorious deeds of the great God of Knights and expressing the believers' heartfelt respect.
As the prayers were in full swing, a tall figure covered in divine light appeared in the sky, overlooking the entire Wizilan State.
The God of Knights has arrived!
After the orcs noticed the movement, their hearts became more and more excited, and their moans became more and more pious. A trace of invisible power emerged from them and was pulled into the figure high in the sky.
As those bits of power gathered, the figure in the sky became brighter and brighter.
"Evil heretic, you dare to spy on the paradise of the Father of Holy Light? Accept your judgment!"
"Get judged quickly!"
Such a big commotion here naturally could not be concealed from the Holy Light Church, which regarded the Rich Continent as its own territory. They then discovered that the previous heresy was not only not wiped out, but was growing stronger in secret.
Of course, the people of the Holy Light Church will not admit their mistakes in public.
They will only take decisive action to restore order and once again destroy the evil heresy.
"Sure enough, these guys are here to join in the fun again."
"My Lord, I—"
"Temple, just focus on your promotion. I will make arrangements for the rest."
At this time, Ivan's consciousness had already descended to the Gezan plane, not far from Temple.
In fact, the so-called sacrificial ceremony is just a cover for Templer's promotion to the level of lord, and his promotion requires the help of the power of believers.
Anyone who practices Black Star Fighting Qi will unknowingly dedicate a bit of their strength to Templer, the God of Knights, and this is especially true today.
This is a bit like forcing things to happen, but there is not enough time for Temple to practice slowly.
Ivan had to take such measures.
As he spoke, a force emerged from the temple and spread to the surroundings of Wezilanbang, isolating the sounds coming from afar and preventing the believers below from being disturbed. "Thank you, Lord."
Temple was self-aware and knew that even if he took action, he would not be able to hold off the enemy for long, so it would be better for him to concentrate on his promotion to the lord level.
The power of Holy Light Judgment spreads from far to near.
Ivan raised his hand and was about to block it back, but he suddenly realized something and withdrew his hand.
Someone took action for him.
"I was wondering who was so arrogant and domineering. It turned out to be the three birdmen from the Holy Light Church. It is not a good habit to bully the weak. Why don't we be your opponents?"
In the sky outside the Frozen Bone Wasteland, there suddenly appeared five majestic figures, some tall and some short.
The five men stood in the middle, and as soon as they appeared, they cut off the power of judgment from the Holy Light Church, and showed their intention to protect Wezilanbang.
"Golden Pigbear, you are such a despicable and shameless person. You and all these evil people dared to come out and stop the Holy Light Judgment. I will just kill you all."
"Hehe, let's give it a try. We have never been afraid of you."
Several more people jumped out from the Holy Light Church. Their identities were similar. They were all angels of judgment, angels of judgment, and guardian angels under the Father of Holy Light.
Without exception, these messengers from heaven are all lord-level beings, and are also gods who hold some authority over the Songzan plane.
Soon, a group of people started fighting in the sky over there.
Temple used his peripheral vision to sense this situation in his heart, thinking to himself, the Lord is the Lord, and he is indeed as wise as a god.
"Don't worry about that. Just focus on your promotion. Your time is very tight."
How could Ivan not know that he was distracted, so he reminded him seriously.
Temple's heart trembled, and he quickly gathered his thoughts, no longer paying attention to the disturbance outside, and focusing all his attention on the lord's promotion.
Originally, Ivan was planning to have the Black Star Army sneak into the Fertile Plains to block the Holy Light Church for a while.
Now it seems that this strategy may not be necessary. Golden Pigbird and others are more capable than expected, and have implicated the main force of the Holy Light Church in one fell swoop.
"This is good. We don't need to involve the outside world. I don't think the Holy Light Church will take it too seriously."
While Templer was busy with promotion, Ivan did not relax his vigilance. At this moment, he was actually busier than Templer himself.
He needed to multitask, keeping an eye on the movements in the distance, guiding the power of Wizilanbang into Templer's body, and guiding his promotion.
It can be said that Ivan is just one step away from taking over Templer's body and completing his promotion to lord.
It is the same path of life, the same path of sacrifice. However, due to the special nature of Templer's identity, what he needs to comprehend is naturally different from Ivan's path.
However, the two have a lot in common.
Secondly, the path that Templer took was paved by Ivan, and it had been deduced from beginning to end, which would certainly be more than enough to guide him to promotion.
There would definitely be drawbacks to doing this, and it would greatly affect Temple's future path of cultivation, but neither of them had the heart to consider this.
As time passed, the prayers of Wizilanbang continued to ring out, and the aura emanating from Temple became stronger and stronger.
"Haha, good job, you came at the right time today. Looks like we're going to have another powerful ally."
People in the distance were also paying attention to Wezilanbang. Seeing the aura here rising sharply, the orc lords were all smiling, and they stood in front of the people of the Holy Light Church, not giving them any chance to slip away.
Seeing this, the angels of the Holy Light Church were very anxious, but not as urgent as they said.
The messengers of heaven knew in their hearts that this was the paradise of the Supreme Father of Light, and the powerful creatures in the paradise were the prey of the Father of Light, not their prey.
Before the appointed time, their main task is to keep watch and maintain the vitality of the rich continent, rather than to completely wipe them out.
If too much is done, it may lead to imbalances and affect the vigorous development of the entire continent.
"Assholes! You arrogant bastards, I will extract your souls one by one and put them into the holy fire to burn fiercely for thousands of years."
"Everyone can talk big, but you've been talking for so long, isn't your mouth dry?"
The two sides had different ideas, and the resulting battle scene was very massive, but for a while, no one could do anything to anyone else.
No one knows that although the person who was promoted to lord at this time was a local creature, there were other people behind him manipulating him, and the people behind him also had their own purposes.
The people in the sky far away were fighting happily, and the believers of Wizilan on the ground suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and even panicked.
The great God of Justice is actually depriving them of their fighting power!
Why do the orcs worship the God of Justice so devoutly? Isn't it because the great gods have given them power and freed them from the predicament of being the bottom of society?
Now, the power is fading.
How can the orcs keep their minds at ease?
"Legendary Knight Commander, something is wrong. Listen to the prayers outside. They are much quieter than before. If this continues, I'm afraid--"
In the Temple of the God of Justice, after the Earth Knight Lina noticed something unusual, she quickly gave a low reminder.
The person she reminded was Rob, the First Black Star Knight, now the Legendary Knight Commander of the Temple and the Leader of the Black Star Knights.
"Don't worry about those who are not steadfast in their faith. Our strength is all given by our Lord. How can we let a small change shake our hearts? Tell my people to sing the 'Hymn of Knightly Valor' with me."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Looking at the determined face in front of them, Lina and the others couldn't help but nod slightly.
We, the people of Sheep Horn, are the most devout servants of the God of Knights. When faced with adversity, we should remain true to ourselves and set the proper example.
The knight's heroic hymn sounded, which was a direct manifestation of the spirit of sacrifice, and the strength in his body disappeared even faster.
The Sheep-Horned People turned a blind eye to this. Their actions undoubtedly shocked the people around them, making them dare not do it again, and the situation soon stabilized.
"Boom!"
After a while, a terrifying aura spread from the center of the city to the surrounding areas, and at that moment, all the creatures in the state of Wezilan were stunned.
Templer was promoted successfully, and his aura increased greatly, and he became more and more arrogant.
If Ivan hadn't acted in time and isolated most of the pressure, the situation would have been even worse for the people in the city.
"My Lord, Temple has fulfilled his mission!"
"Very good, very good. I'll leave this to you to deal with the aftermath. Reward those who deserve rewards and punish those who deserve punishment. This wizard will leave first."
Looking at the shadow that disappeared in a hurry, the new lord Temple was filled with gratitude. If it wasn't for helping him, the lord wouldn't have to work so hard and rush back to rest.
In fact, there is another hidden story.
Ivan left in a hurry, but he was touched by Temple's promotion, so he hurried back to seize this opportunity to see if he could go one step further and become a legendary star. (End of this chapter)
