“Today, the Tushan family will worship God under Great Green Mountain. Since the fall of the Tushan family, thanks to the protection of the Qingshan Great God, we have been able to achieve our current prosperity. Now, the Tushan family includes the Leishan tribe, the Lieyang tribe, the Tianfeng tribe, the Chiyue tribe, and many other tribes. But from now on, there will only be Tushan family in the world. No matter where you originated or which tribe you came from, you will all be under the rule of the Tushan family. Other than that, the Tushan family only worships one God, and that is the Qingshan Great God. Any blasphemous behavior would be punished by the temple.”
Tushan Cangyue stood on the altar, her majestic and indifferent voice sweeping across the area.
No one voiced any objections and nor did they dare to do so.
“According to the tradition of the Tushan family since ancient times, all new members have to offer sacrifices to the Qingshan Great God. The sacrifice is lifespan. The lifespan sacrificed doesn’t need to be too long, but you must do it to express your firm belief in the Qingshan Great God. Let’s begin now.”
What? Using lifespan as a sacrifice?
Hearing this, the people who joined the Tushan family earlier didn’t show any shock. After all, they were already used to it. Thinking back, when they joined the Tushan family, they had also experienced this process.
Now, it was time for the Tianfeng tribe and the Chiyue tribe to experience this.
“An evil God! This is an evil God!”
“Hmph, so this so-called sacrificial ceremony is to take our lifespan? The Qingshan Great God must be an evil demonic God.”
“I don’t even have enough lifespan for myself. How can I give it to others? I’ll just not believe in the God of Great Green Mountain.”
“You want my lifespan? No way!”
Whispers could be heard from the crowd.
For a moment, many started to get restless.
They were all terrified that they had to sacrifice their lifespan, which made them even more resistant to the Qingshan Great God.
Seeing this, Tushan Cangyue looked indifferent. She only watched everything coldly and did not stop or force anything because those who resisted were only a minority.
Whoosh!
Compared to the people from the Tianfeng tribe and the Chiyue tribe who resisted, the Leishan tribe people who joined the Tushan family earlier but didn’t get the second Divine Baptism were all pleasantly surprised.
As soon as Tushan Cangyue finished speaking, they immediately arrived at the altar at their fastest speed and knelt in an extremely pious manner.
“I’m willing to sacrifice a hundred years of my lifespan to serve the Great God!” A young man kowtowed excitedly.
“I’m also willing to sacrifice a hundred years of my lifespan to serve the Great God!” Another muscular man hurriedly kowtowed as well.
“I’m willing to sacrifice 80 years of my lifespan!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice 50 years of my lifespan!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice 90 years of my lifespan!”
Fanatical voices rose and fell under the altar.
Seeing this scene, the members of the Tianfeng tribe and the Chiyue tribe widened their eyes in shock.
“They… Why are they so mad? Do they want to die?”
In front of the crowd, Feng Zhentian gasped and said in disbelief.
In his eyes, those people seemed to have gone mad. It was as if they had been bewitched by some kind of power and were blindly acting.
Not only Feng Zhentian, but even the knowledgeable old ancestor Feng Qinglei was also in disbelief.
“Have they all been bewitched by the God of Great Green Mountain?” He muttered.
Hearing this, Feng Changqing, who was standing beside them, shook his head mysteriously.
“Old ancestor, those people haven’t been bewitched by the God of Great Green Mountain. They’re offering their lifespan voluntarily.”
Voluntarily? How was this possible?
Feng Qinglei’s face was filled with disbelief.
In response, Feng Changqing shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Old ancestor, I know you don’t believe me, but all of this is true. Those people are willing to sacrifice their lifespan because none of them made the second Divine Baptism.”
The second Divine Baptism?
Feng Zhentian and Feng Qinglei revealed puzzled expressions. They had never heard of such a thing.
“I heard about this from the other emissaries of the temple. They said that the Qingshan Great God would descend to the human world every time a sacrificial ceremony was held. He would bestow divine grace on the people, cleanse their aptitudes, and improve their strength.”
“Previously, during the second Divine Baptism, those people resisted crazily as well, unwilling to believe in the Qingshan Great God. In the end, they missed the Divine Baptism. As a result, their aptitude or strength became far behind the others. Now that the third Divine Baptism has descended, they are surely not willing to miss it,” Feng Changqing explained.
What? Divine Baptism?
Hearing this, Feng Zhentian and Feng Qinglei were both shocked.
“So, as long as we offer lifespan as a sacrifice, we can obtain the divine grace of the God of Great Green Mountain?”
“Yes, because it means that you have expressed your faith in the Qingshan Great God with your actions. In a minute, anyone who doesn’t have a devout belief will be expelled. Those people are not qualified to enjoy the grace of the Great God.”
At this point, Feng Changqing looked at Feng Zhentian and Feng Qinglei with a meaningful gaze.
“Zhentian, most of the people who are resisting now are from the Chiyue tribe. The people of our tribe are not as resistant. As long as we obtain the grace and fortune of the Qingshan Great God, our strength will definitely crush the Chiyue tribe,” Feng Qinglei said as he clenched his fists.
Hearing this, Feng Zhentian’s heart skipped a beat.
“Old ancestor, you mean… Shall we take the lead?”
“Yes. Since the Chiyue tribe doesn’t understand the mystery behind it, then we’ve undoubtedly taken the initiative. As long as we take the lead in worshipping the Qingshan Great God, we’ll certainly be able to make our tribesmen worship the Qingshan Great God as well. At that time, our people will have an unprecedented improvement in power. In the future, our position in the Tushan family will also be higher.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to the old ancestor,” Feng Zhentian nodded heavily.
With this, he and Feng Qinglei immediately strode toward the altar.
“People of the Tianfeng tribe, now that we have merged with the Tushan family, we are part of the Tushan family. Since we are a member of the Tushan family, we should firmly believe in the Qingshan Great God. This is our honor and glory! Regardless of whether others believe it or not, we must firmly believe in the Qingshan Great God. It is our honor to become the Great God’s subjects! Now, come with us to worship the Great God!”
Feng Qinglei’s loud voice resounded in all directions.
After saying that, he and Feng Zhentian knelt respectfully and piously before the altar.
“I, Feng Zhentian, am willing to sacrifice two hundred years of my lifespan to serve the Great God!”
Thump!
Under everyone’s gaze, Feng Zhentian kowtowed toward the statue.
“I, Feng Qinglei, am willing to sacrifice a hundred years of my lifespan to serve the Great God!”
Feng Qinglei followed closely behind.
Whoosh!
The members of the Tianfeng tribe were greatly shocked by their actions.
“Since the leader and old ancestor have taken the lead, let’s go too!”
“We’re just ordinary mortals, and we just want a stable living environment. Since we’ve joined the Tushan family, we should worship the Qingshan Great God.”
“I’m willing to sacrifice a hundred years of my lifespan!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice eighty years of my lifespan!”
Earth-shattering sounds continued to ring out.
With Feng Zhentian and Feng Qinglei in the lead, the tribe members of the Tianfeng tribe began to flood toward the altar.
One by one, they began to sacrifice their lifespans to express their faith.
“These people… Are they mad? Each person sacrifices dozens of years of lifespan, so how much lifespan would the God of Great Green Mountain reap from so many people?”
Outside the square, Qin Daofu widened his eyes and said in shock.
Even the Mad Daoist beside him took a deep breath. There was an unprecedented yearning in his eyes. That was lifespan!
“The Tianfeng tribe alone has more than a hundred thousand people. If each of them gives up ten years of their lifespan, that would be a million years. With so much lifespan, if it was given to me, I would even dare to dig up the tomb of a Great Emperor. Unfortunately, the God of Great Green Mountain has harvested all that lifespan as a part of faith.”
The Mad Daoist looked pained.
He could be considered someone who had seen magnificent scenes, but what he had seen before paled in comparison to what he was seeing now. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
This time, the lifespan harvested by the God of Great Green Mountain was definitely more than ten million years. Such a huge number was unimaginable even for the Mad Daoist.
At the same time, he could imagine how happy the God of Great Green Mountain would be to obtain such a shocking number of lifespan sacrifices.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
In the temple, after receiving the sacrifice of all living beings, Lin Wudao indeed blossomed with an incomparably brilliant smile..
