Chapter 6178: Sacrifice
Chapter 6178: Sacrifice
Little Fishy looked Shen Yi in the eye and answered word by word, “I, Xianhai Yu’er, will not marry you.”
Shen Yi’s face turned even colder.
With a wave of his sleeves, he destroyed the palace.
This allowed Little Fishy to see what was outside. They were still flying in mid-air, but beneath them was a vast square comparable to a plain. Exquisite marbles inscribed with runes lay all around the square, and these runes resonated as one.
At the center of the square was a humongous golden idol towering at a height of over tens of thousands of meters tall. Even the clouds barely reached its feet. It looked almost lifelike.
This was the God Ancestor Statue worshiped by the God Clan.
Beneath the God Ancestor Statue was an elevated platform. It was the formation core, as well as the altar.
Tens of millions of God Clansmen floated in the vicinity. They stood in a specific formation around the God Ancestor Statue, with the stronger ones standing closer to it. It looked like they were preparing for a ritual.
99 people stood above the God Clansmen with lofty eyes as if they were the masters.
They were the strongest individuals in the God Clan, with all of them at Heavenly God level. They were also Shen Yi’s brothers, and Shen Bai was among them too.
But Little Fishy cast her gaze at a remote location beneath.
There was a huge crowd gathered there too, and looking at them from above, they resembled a huge colony of ants. They were the Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen.
They were once a galaxy overlord, but now, they were packed together with their hands and legs bound by golden shackles and their mouths were covered by a golden hood, as if they were livestock.
Among them were the top experts of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan, such as Little Fishy’s grandfather, her parents, and her big brother, Xianhai Shaoyu. They looked like a bunch of reared animals.
This formed a stark contrast to the God Clansmen in the sky.
Little Fishy glared at Shen Yi. “You said you wouldn’t let my clansmen know about this!”
She was more concerned about her clansmen being here than their treatment.
“I did mention before that I won’t let your clansmen know if you choose to sacrifice yourself, but I changed my mind,” Shen Yi said.
Shen Yi’s brothers laughed.
All of them, including Shen Bai and Shen Yi, looked at Little Fishy in disdain
Wu!
A voice could be heard from beneath.
The Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen were riled up after hearing Shen Yi and Little Fishy’s conversation, but they couldn’t say a word or even exchange voice transmissions. All they could do was to let out groans.
Little Fishy glanced at her family members with a heavy expression. She turned back to Shen Yi and asked in a more subdued tone, “What exactly do you want?”
“What do I want?” Shen Yi sneered. “Our God Clan is the noblest clan in the world, but my brothers and I didn’t rest on our laurels. We worked hard and underwent 50,000 years of tempering before we were finally born. We cultivated for 10,000 years before we reached Heavenly God level, achieving our current accomplishment.
“A lofty background yet not lacking in diligence; I, Shen Yi, have it all. I am the only one worthy of ruling over the world. Do you know why our God Clan never bothered to look outside despite having the means to do so?
“It’s beneath us to observe mere ants. It doesn’t matter what heights they have reached. Their only choices are to submit or die when we finally emerge from our seclusion. I never thought I would lose to an ant beneath a hundred years of age. Xianhai Yu’er, you have insulted this god.”
Shen Yi glared at Little Fishy.
Little Fishy realized he wanted vengeance on her, so she didn’t bother saying anything else. She descended on the altar and said, “Let’s begin.”
Despite all that was said and done, Little Fishy showed no inclination to change her mind.
Shen Yi’s eyes turned even colder. His cheeks even twitched. He was so angry that he burst into laughter, though that only made him look even more menacing.
“Very well.”
He cast a sweeping glance at the Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen before his gaze fell on Little Fishy’s parents. “You’re lucky to have a good daughter. Your daughter is going to be sacrificed to our God Ancestor, and you will be saved because of that. This is your honor, Immortal Sea Fish Clan.”
His words angered the Immortal Sea Fish Clansmen. Their eyes blazed with murderous intent. Little Fishy’s parents, grandfather, and Xianhai Shaoyu would have torn Shen Yi into pieces if they could.
But that only further amused Shen Yi. That was the effect he wanted.
He turned to the God Clansmen and grandly waved his sleeves. “Let’s begin.”
All the God Clansmen simultaneously formed a hand seal, causing a golden light to envelop the world. Starting from the center of the square, the runes started lighting up.
It turned out that it was not just the square but the entire underground world was a tribute formation!
As the tribute formation whirred into life, a blinding light gushed out of the underground world to envelop Calmlake Upper Realm’s surface.
The sudden outburst of light startled the cultivators on the surface.
They initially thought that a legendary treasure had emerged, but they soon realized something was amiss when they lost their cultivation, and a terrifying suction force coming from the earth threatened to devour not just their bodies but their souls as well.
Adults shrieked in pain while children burst into tears. It was as if hell had descended upon Calmlake Upper Realm!
No matter their cultivation, their gender, or their age, those who came into contact with the light couldn’t escape the fate of being devoured.
This was also why the God Clan had moved from Golden River Upper Realm to Calmlake Upper Realm. Other than their own power, they also needed a huge amount of cultivators as sacrifices for the ritual.
They had been making preparations for this day. They were the ones who enriched Calmlake Upper Realm’s natural energies, and needless to say, the goal was to draw cultivators to settle on this land so that they could become their fodder.
Not everyone residing on Calmlake Upper Realm died straight away. This was merely the start.
Overwhelming energy flowed into the tribute formation, and it converged onto the altar where Little Fishy stood.
This energy was to be fused into Little Fishy’s body to nourish her bloodline before it was offered to the God Ancestor Statue.
However, absorbing this huge amount of energy was no easy feat for Little Fishy. The sheer pain she felt warped her beautiful face, but she clenched her jaws and held on.
The God Clansmen had previously treated Little Fishy kindly, but all of them now looked at her with cold eyes.
“You had it coming. You could have enjoyed a comfortable life,” Shen Bai sneered without a shred of sympathy.
They would have continued treating her kindly if she had agreed to marry into their God Clan, but she chose to take this path. They believed she deserved the pain she was suffering now.
