Jiang Chen ascended into the sky under the tense gaze of those around him.
He hoisted the giant stone altar to an altitude of over a hundred kilometers above the ground and then stopped.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fly higher, but as the altitude increased, so did the temperature of the thermosphere.
The temperature exceeded a thousand degrees Celsius, comparable to a magma environment.
While the human body could withstand such high temperatures, the altar, being only made of fragile rock, was already approaching its melting point.
If he continued to raise it, the core structure of the altar would gradually be damaged.
Therefore, Jiang Chen maintained this altitude and began attempting to activate the altar—
When the Merfolk Great Priest activated the altar, he held a strange staff in his hand.
That staff had already been completely destroyed by the Sea Deity’s power during the battle at the sea abyss, becoming part of the sea abyss gravel.
There was no way Jiang Chen could replicate it exactly.
However, according to Jiang Chen’s observations, both the supreme deity monsters and the Sea Deity Monsters saw humans as tiny ants, full of disdain.
It was like the ancient inhabitants of a planetary house who, upon waking up and finding their home overrun with ants, would start a thorough cleanup, quickly clearing them away.
In such a case, would ancient creatures converse with “ants,” leaving behind an altar or legacy for communication?
Clearly, it was unreasonable!
Jiang Chen believed that the Merfolk Empire merely worshipped the ancient monsters’ might and unilaterally saw them as deities.
They expressed their adoration for the deities through ancient blood rituals.
Therefore, such altars most likely originated from ancient traditions of old civilizations, rather than being an original part of the Merfolk Empire.
When Jiang Chen asked the nations to prepare materials, he had also obtained a set of wall painting data on deity-worshipping ceremonies from ancient underwater civilizations from archaeologists.
In making the altar, he referred to this data to design a corresponding ceremony.
Now, he let Zero and Yun, the two mechas equipped with intelligent modules, handle the deity-worshipping ceremony.
Meanwhile, he channeled the Inner Strength inherited in this world into the altar as an energy source.
As time passed,
The bizarre essence of blood on the altar’s surface, following special patterns, rapidly boiled under the action of Inner Strength.
Jiang Chen activated his High-Energy Vision and could see that these energy-laden essences of blood transformed into ripples, spreading in all directions.
“Is it really working?”
Jiang Chen had initially just tried his luck.
He didn’t expect the altar to actually take effect!
As he marveled, he saw everything showcased by his High-Energy Vision and suddenly understood.
This [Sea Deity Altar] was not a specific communication altar.
It was more like a diffusion device that spread the scent of the sacrificial offerings to attract those powerful creatures.
However, under normal circumstances, the qualifications of the offerings were low and the energy was minimal.
They could only attract some weaker elite monsters.
Ancient monsters like the Sea Deity and the Supreme Deity would not even notice these insignificant things.
It was also due to this extremely simple principle that it didn’t require any special ceremonies.
It only needed [altar], [offering], [energy source] these three elements.
To be activated.
Now, Jiang Chen had built an extra-large altar, used the monsters’ flesh and blood as sacrifice, and injected a large amount of Inner Strength as an energy source.
Thus, their scent, in the form of ripples faster than the speed of sound, spread rapidly.
In a moment, it covered the entire planet.
The auras of the ancient Supreme Deity Monster and Sea Deity Monster, transformed into waves imperceptible to ordinary people, covered the entire planet.
When the weaker monsters, even the elite ones, sensed the wanton release of the two ancestors’ auras, they dared not react at all.
They tried to sleep deeper, hiding even further below.
Only creatures on the same level as the Supreme Deity and Sea Deity would be attracted to these vibrations and auras.
Under the polar ice caps, an ancient creature that had slept for God knows how many years sensed this aura and slowly awoke.
The hard eons-old ice was like gas to it, unable to form any obstacle.
It stretched its body within the ice, raising its three heads.
The azure head emitted vibrations, “Is it the call of my brothers…”
The golden head bumped it hard, “Mother hasn’t returned, how could the brothers wake up together?”
“There has to be a problem!”
The scarlet head tilted.
“But…”
“Outside is clearly the scent of our brothers.”
Even if put to a vote, two heads overruled one.
They controlled the body, following the ice upward, breaking through the snow and ice as they emerged.
In the endless polar snowy wilderness, a creature with immense wings that blotted out the sun stretched them at will, revealing its splendid and colorful towering body.
It was a lofty monster with three slender necks and heads, overall having avian traits.
If using the wings to measure size,
Its wingspan exceeded three thousand kilometers, even more exaggerated than both the Supreme Deity Monster and the Sea Deity Monster.
However, if measured by the strength of Life Force Energy…
Its energy was far less than that of the Sea Deity Monster, and even less than the Supreme Deity’s, clearly “younger” by comparison.
But no matter the youth, it was an ancient monster with tremendous power.
With just a slight flap of its wings, it stirred up endless blizzards, using this power to soar into the sky.
It waved its wings, flying towards the direction from where the scent came.
It traversed the polar regions, crossed the oceans,
And as it was about to reach its destination, at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, it saw a reddened stone tray.
