Chapter 524: Chapter 246 Chosen of the Double Gods! _2

This would be a tremendous honor for the Divine Chosen Servant.

Although they are called servants, they are the trusted inner circle of the Divine Chosen. In each sub-branch, they are high-ranking individuals.

This made Gongsun Craftsman’s face light up with excitement, as he continuously nodded and showered Li Yelai with all sorts of flattering remarks.

Li Yelai then asked, ”Speaking of which, Gongsun, do we have an Ancient Dragon Ball in our base?”

”Ancient Dragon Ball?” Gongsun Craftsman was startled and then thought for a moment before shaking his head, ”If I remember correctly, an Ancient Dragon Ball is a power crystal that may be formed when an adult ancient dragon ascends to a higher level. We do not have such a material in our base—even those two fallen Divine Chosen Ones could not easily hunt an Overlord Level ancient dragon.”

”But in the Main Base, there might be such materials. There once was a Divine Chosen in the Church who ascended to the Supreme level. He collected a large quantity of materials wanting to craft a Supreme Divine Weapon, which might have included an Ancient Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, the Divine Weapon was not completed before he fell in battle against the Sky Supreme from Kunlun Giant City... Sir, do you need the Ancient Dragon Ball to craft equipment?”

”Exactly, I will ascend to Supreme level sooner or later and want to prepare in advance.” Li Yelai said with a smile, ”By then, you will be the craftsman.”

”Yes!” Gongsun Craftsman could hardly contain his excitement. The greatest honor for a Spiritual Ability Craftsman was to craft a world-renowned Spiritual Ability Equipment.

If Lord Di Yun ascended to the Supreme Level, he might be able to forge a Supreme Level Divine Weapon for him!

Afterwards, the sacrifice ceremony ensued.

After two days and one night of preparation, the followers of the Blood God Sect held a grand sacrificial ceremony.

The casualties from this war were especially severe; two Divine Chosen had died.

But this undoubtedly also pleased the Blood River.

The Blood River loves war and slaughter.

Regardless of who is killed, as long as the blood flows like a river, It is pleased and might bestow blessings.

Though this bloody battle seemed to have less than ten thousand combatants, most of them were Spiritual Ability Users or Sufferers, the elite troops of both Sects.

Just the mysterious materials successfully obtained after the battle exceeded two thousand pieces.

Their quality was guaranteed to be substantial.

For this reason, followers of the Blood God Sect had made lengthy preparations.

Eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight skulls were arranged in a Corpse Pile. Positioned at the very center and topmost point was the skull of Divine Chosen Mo Ya.

Offering another Divine Chosen to the Divine would be an immense honor!

Thus, tens of thousands of followers surrounded the massive Corpse Pile, began praying, and uttered various obscure and mysterious spells, causing the sky to gradually change color, as if flames were burning in the sky.

Over eighty percent of them were not Spiritual Ability Users, yet they were immensely eager for the Divine’s blessing, which could help them overcome the toughest hurdle.

Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of thousands of followers, Li Yelai—donned in Battle Armor—stood on the high platform.

Without much speech or prayer, Li Yelai uttered, ”Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, offering skulls to the throne,” and the entire Corpse Pile instantly ignited.

The crimson flames nearly dyed the sky red as terrible forces from the Virtual Realm began to pour into the Physical World.

Crimson effulgence burst forth from the flames and enveloped Li Yelai in an instant.

In that moment, Li Yelai’s Soul Well rapidly expanded and developed, enabling him to peer into more of the Virtual Realm Starry Sky through his Soul Well.

Not only this, but Li Yelai’s Virtual Realm Projection also began to step closer to the Soul Well.

Li Yelai had not been a Four Awakenings for long, just slightly over a month, even though he had gone through bloody battles during this period.

Executing human traitors, killing Forbidden Zone Divine, slaughtering the Withered, confronting the Eternal Life Faction, and even once facing off against his comrades from Champion Team One.

The bloody battles had greatly increased his Strength of Spiritual Energy, and his Soul Well had expanded considerably.

But he was still a certain distance from the Fifth Sense; after all, the time had been too short.

With the Little Mad King’s estimation, Li Yelai needed at least three months to digest all he had accumulated to enter the Fifth Sense.

But now, under the blessings of the Blood God, Li Yelai’s Virtual Realm Projection leapt forward seven steps and actually arrived directly in front of the Spiritual Power Well!

At this moment, he was merely one step away from the Fifth Sense.

But if he were to enter the Fifth Sense relying directly on the blessings of the Blood God,

not to mention the lack of Magic Potion in terms of Spiritual Energy, his luck would randomly determine what abstract ability he could attain.

Entering the Fifth Sense through external force could bring unknown risks.

Thus, when he was only a step away from the Soul Well, Li Yelai’s projection stopped, no longer advancing.

This caused the crimson flames that were originally rushing into his body to spill out, spreading around, flowing toward other believers.

This surprised the believers immensely, and they loudly praised Lord Di Yun.

They believed it was Lord Di Yun who had shared his blessing with them, which moved and delighted them.

Among the surging crimson flames, some ordinary believers, amid their surprise, ascended. They became Spiritual Ability Users, thus transforming into a new breed of humans! Their status within the Church greatly increased!

However, even more believers suddenly let out distorted wails and started fighting with those around them. They were distorted, unable to withstand the blessing, yet unwilling to give up, ultimately twisting in despair. These sufferers of such level couldn’t even become Bloodsuckers and were abandoned on the spot.

Thus, another blood battle erupted.

Over seven hundred out-of-control believers, after slaughtering hundreds of ordinary believers, were slain by Church Spiritual Ability Users, their heads offered once again to the Blood God.

Meanwhile, Li Yelai faintly sensed a strange gaze. He initially thought it was the Blood God watching him, but no such gaze came from him.

Li Yelai frowned and looked toward the altar, only to be surprised to find that Mo Ya, the Divine Chosen’s head situated at the highest point, had opened its eyes at that moment.

From the top of the Corpse Pile, looking down at Li Yelai beneath through countless crimson flames.

Incredibly disturbing, yet the Gongsun Craftsman and other servants behind him had no idea.

Damn! Is he alive?

Li Yelai was shocked inwardly but was unwilling to believe.

Mo Ya was personally slain by the seventh-generation champion, turned entirely into foam. Even with the blessing of the Eternal Life Faction, he couldn’t be restored. Both the soul well and virtual realm projection were shattered beyond repair. How could he possibly come back to life?

Yet, that gaze carried a slight benevolence, as if a respected elder was looking down on his junior.

No, it wasn’t Mo Ya, but the Divine behind Mo Ya!

The Father of Plague!

Another Chaotic God!

Damn, hit the minor one, and here comes the senior? Did he sense that his Divine Chosen was sacrificed and decided to ruin the scene?

Then go find the Blood River!

Li Yelai’s body tensed slightly, wondering if a trade with Mr. Shadow right now could kill a Chaos God.

Cost-effective, should be a bit higher than that of the King of the Forbidden Zone, right?

However, ’Mo Ya’s’ head slightly moved its lips, and a voice slowly came from the virtual realm.

”Plague of destiny? Very good...”

Subsequently, Mo Ya’s head was fully ignited, along with the other heads, offered to the Blood God.

There were no accidents, nor any anomalies. The sacrifice ended.

Li Yelai, however, was lost in thought.

Anyone watched by a Chaos God would feel uneasy.

”Plague of destiny? What does that mean?” Li Yelai pondered inwardly, ”Could it be... referring to my calamity?”

It could indeed be interpreted that way. The Book Holder’s plan was disrupted by Li Yelai. That is, the so-called changing of destiny...

But Li Yelai couldn’t disrupt ’destiny’ at will, only when he activated the ’Face’ and triggered calamity, greatly disturbing the Book Holder’s calculations.

Is this the plague of destiny?

As the Eternal Life Faction, which sees everything rot and none perish... are they interested in me, the ’source of the plague’?

Very well!

Would shouting ’everything corrupts, none perish’ garner the attention of the Father of Plague? Could I also become His Divine Chosen?

Become a Chosen of the Double Gods!
