"In three months, I shall conduct another sacrifice to our god, and this time I need to prepare more sacrifices. However, our world lacks rare and exotic beasts."
Ying Zheng looked at Donghuang Taiyi. "Therefore, I plan to gather books from the Hundreds of Schools, divine weapons, and daughters of great fate to sacrifice to our god."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Empress Yan, the Moon Goddess, the Xiang sisters, and other women of stunning beauty lit up. Their breathing became rapid, their full chests heaving.
Their gazes burned as they looked towards Ying Zheng. Empress Yan voiced the question they all held in their hearts, "My King, how do we identify such daughters of great fate? Do we qualify?"
Each of them possessed spiritual beauty and talent, one in a million.
Even Jing Ni, a mere assassin, could become a sacrifice.
They believed they were no less than Jing Ni.
"As long as you remain pure, you can be offered as sacrifices to our god."
Ying Zheng looked at the peerlessly graceful beauties before him, feeling incredibly satisfied.
No persuasion needed; they were directly pleading to be placed on the altar. Our god is truly magnificent! Worship!
"My King, for the next sacrifice, I wish to offer myself as a sacrifice and serve the Upper God in heaven!" Empress Yan and several others said in unison.
They were unaware if there was a limit to the number of sacrifices. No one wanted to fall behind.
"Rest assured, as long as you meet the requirements, there is no limit to the number!"
Ying Zheng’s words finally eased everyone’s tension, and they all began to look forward to the opportunity.
They had previously seen Jing Ni’s astonishing transformation; she had grown so strong in just a few breaths that they could hardly look directly at her. Furthermore, by ascending to the God’s Kingdom, they would be able to see the great Divine Spirits. None of them wanted to miss such an opportunity.
They were orphans, to begin with. With no attachments, they were eager for a better place; anyone who wouldn’t want that would be a fool.
"Let me tell you something else," Ying Zheng continued. "The Divine Envoy who just descended was an ordinary person, without the slightest bit of martial arts, just half a month ago."
"She was sacrificed by followers of the Upper God in another world and became the Divine Envoy you see now!"
Ying Zheng’s words struck everyone like a bolt from the blue, causing their hearts to tighten and their eyes to redden.
Even Donghuang Taiyi could not remain seated. "My King, may I offer myself as a sacrifice to the Upper God?"
"You may offer yourself as a blood sacrifice!" Ying Zheng glanced at him, his indifferent voice like a bucket of cold water poured over Donghuang Taiyi’s head.
Donghuang Taiyi’s spirits dimmed; it seemed seeking a shortcut was futile! Indeed. Shortcuts are not so easy to take.
Perceiving the disappointment in Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes, Ying Zheng said leisurely, "Just follow me, work hard, and preach for our god!"
"When all people believe in our god, when the world becomes a land of faith for our god, the world will transform into the Earthly Divine Kingdom!"
"I will then be able to lead the entire world in ascending to the God’s Kingdom."
"Our god is grand and just. All your efforts will be rewarded and seen by our god."
Donghuang Taiyi’s spirit trembled. He hastily said, "Rest assured, my King. I will work hard. For the glory of our god, I am ready to suffer and die a thousand deaths!"
"Good." Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, taking out a sacred text. "This is the "Meditation Method," bestowed by our god. Pray, and you shall receive divine grace."
"With the first prayer, nine out of ten will see our god’s majestic Chaotic divine body, or even receive God’s Revelation."
"Take this "Meditation Method," subdue the Hundreds of Schools, and lead them all to worship our god. If any are stubbornly ignorant, bring them back to be blood sacrificed to our god!"
"As you command, my King." Donghuang Taiyi took the "Meditation Method," then led Empress Yan and the others to bid farewell and leave.
Donghuang Taiyi was already a peak figure of the era. After receiving divine favor, he would be unrivaled in the world, apart from Ying Zheng. Leading the Yin Yang Sect to subdue the Hundreds of Schools would be as easy as flipping his hand.
Within the God’s Kingdom, one after another, Divine Beasts followed Wang Yuyan into the God’s Kingdom, where they were organized and managed by Ah Zhu and other Heroic Spirits.
Jing Ni, being a hero, was directly transported into the Reincarnation Pool.
Wang Yuyan, in a white robe, possessed an unparalleled immortal beauty. She walked gracefully before Hongmeng on her long, beautiful legs and prostrated herself, her exquisite figure revealing its undulating curves.
She respectfully said, "I bow before our god. I have completed delivering the decree in the Tianxing World and have returned to report. Please instruct me, my god!"
"Very good!" Hongmeng nodded in satisfaction. "You’ve accomplished this mission well. I grant you 100,000 Divine Crystals and one Divine Skill; strive in your Cultivation."
"I thank our god for the gracious gift. For our god, I would brave any danger and embrace death without hesitation." Wang Yuyan’s face beamed with a radiant, beautiful smile.
It was her first mission, and her heart had been full of anxiety, fearing she would not perform well. Receiving Hongmeng’s reward was the greatest encouragement of all. A great sense of achievement and satisfaction filled her heart. Every fiber of her being was invigorated.
"You may leave now!" Hongmeng waved his hand.
"I shall take my leave." Wang Yuyan stepped down with the rewards she had received, her heart brimming with sweetness.
I can finally do things for my God! I’m not just someone who can only warm a bed.
Watching Wang Yuyan’s graceful departing figure, Hongmeng smiled wryly and withdrew his gaze.
He carefully reflected on the two True God’s Ways he had just obtained: the Slaughter Path and the Sword Dao. When combined, they could form the Slaughter Sword Dao.
He currently possessed the Heavenly God Level Path of Life, the Path of Wood, the Path of Wind, and the Cloud Path. Among them, the Way of Life was even touching the threshold of the Lord God Level.
Therefore, even though his Cultivation Level remained at the Upper God Peak, his understanding of the Dao had reached the half-step Lord God level. Thus, contemplating other True God’s Ways was like operating from a commanding height, remarkably easy. It was like a university student learning various elementary school subjects; even if he had not learned this knowledge before, with his university-level foundation, he would be able to master it quickly.
With the aid of the Martial Arts Civilization Aura and the burning of Divine Crystal, he gained a deeper understanding of the Hongmeng Path. However, to thoroughly comprehend the Hongmeng Path, he needed to understand more True God’s Ways.
One path leads to all paths.
One path contains all paths.
One path gives birth to all paths.
When all paths merge into one, it is the Hongmeng Path.
A day passed quietly.
Hongmeng had assimilated the True Divinity Level Path of Slaughter and Sword Dao, and realized a new True God’s Way—the Slaughter Sword Dao. Not only that, but Hongmeng, by combining the various Daos he had previously mastered, also comprehended the Life Sword Dao, Splitting Wind Sword Dao, Gale Sword Path, Cloud Soaring Sword Dao, Fengyun Sword Dao, and more.
Although these Daos were extensions of the originals, they represented Hongmeng’s further deepening understanding of various Daos. He took a step closer to comprehending the all-encompassing Hongmeng Path.
"DING. Your hero has prayed to you. You have obtained five hundred units of pure power of faith. With a one hundred thousand-fold amplification, you have obtained fifty million units of Origin Power."
"Oh? Jing Ni has awakened!" Hongmeng’s gaze shifted. He saw Jing Ni hugging the Shoking Giant Salamander Sword as she emerged from the Reincarnation Pool, praying to him.
With a thought, Jing Ni appeared before him.
"Greetings, my God." Jing Ni paused briefly in surprise, then knelt and bowed deeply.
Hongmeng examined Jing Ni: an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, a delicate nose, skin as white as snow, and exquisite features. She wore a long slip dress, revealing creamy soft shoulders, like a perfect classical Eastern beauty.
"Yes, my God." She stood up, holding the Shoking Giant Salamander Sword, standing ramrod straight before Hongmeng, like an impassive guard, valiant and heroic in her bearing.
Her gaze was cold and sharp. Amidst the aloofness, there was an unusual charm.
Like a poppy flower, radiating the sanctity and allure of death.
"What can you do?" Hongmeng asked. He looked at Jing Ni. Picturing her cooking or farming... That image seemed unbearable to watch.
"Kill." Jing Ni’s voice was calm. After a pause, she continued, "Whatever my God tells me to do, I will do!"
"My body, soul, loyalty, faith... everything belongs to my God."
"To dedicate everything to my God is my only faith and goal!"
"To dedicate everything to my God is my greatest honor."
