Analysis of the Principle of Sacrifice

Chapter 513 Analysis of the Principle of Sacrifice

After a long journey during the day, it was night again. This time, Qin Mu simply stopped looking for ruins to rest. Instead, he let the box carry the sleeping dragon unicorn and traveled at night, while he walked in the dark to keep up with the box.

He also saw many strange things in the dark, including many cities that suddenly emerged in the darkness, countless creatures, and large-scale battles. These were things he had never seen when he followed the village chief into the Dark Ruins.

Whenever he walked into the light of the box, he could no longer see the scenes in the darkness. The divine light of the box seemed to allow him to travel back to his original world.

And to step into darkness is to travel to another world, the dark world.

Strangely, he couldn't feel the world barrier.

This is almost impossible to happen.

There will be a world barrier between any two worlds. When you pass through the two worlds, you will be squeezed by the forces of different worlds. The stronger the power of the traverser, the stronger the squeezing force.

But there is no barrier between the dark world and the real world, which is strange.

Qin Mu walked into the light of the box and sat on it in a daze. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he smiled, "I know an expert in this area. Can't we ask him to come out and ask him?"

He was very excited. He stopped the box, jumped off the box, and took out a bone altar from his Taotie bag. On the bone altar was a statue of a demon with four heads and eight arms.

Qin Mu took out a cinnabar pen and drew various runes on the demon statue. Then he used his vital energy to activate the talisman and performed a magic trick to summon ghosts and gods.

After a while, he finished his ritual and the demon statue remained motionless.

Qin Mu was suspicious and tried again, but the demon statue still did not respond.

"Big Brother Dutian, I am deeply honored to summon you to come and offer you blood and meat delicacies. Please come to me."

Qin Mu prayed, "If Brother Dutian doesn't come, I will pray ten or a hundred times a day until you come. I kowtow in fear..."

"Shut up! Who is your big brother?"

The demon statue suddenly opened one of its eyes, and its eyeballs spun around rapidly. It didn't realize it was being attacked, and then a ray of consciousness came over it. The other three faces also came to life and said, "You and I have never sworn brotherhood, so don't claim to be relatives. We are not familiar with each other! You pray to me a hundred times a day, and I must be annoyed to death by you! Master Qin, why did you call me here?"

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have one question that I don't understand."

He recounted what he had seen and heard in the darkness, saying, "Why are the two worlds overlapping? Why didn't I encounter any barriers or be rejected when I passed through them?"

The puppet demon statue stood up from the altar, pulled out a bone and put it in his mouth, like eating a piece of sugar cane, and said, "I thought you summoned me for some conspiracy, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter."

Qin Mu held the disciple's etiquette and said, "May I ask for your guidance, Brother Dutian?"

The Demon King of Dutian was horrified and said quickly: "Don't be so polite. If you are so polite, I will always suspect that you are going to make things difficult for me! What you are talking about actually involves the issue of world energy. The energy that constitutes a world is fixed. The birth, cultivation, and death of a person will not change the composition of the world's energy. This is the most basic law!"

Qin Mu seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said: "A person's birth, cultivation, and death will not change the energy composition. So what if this person becomes a god or a demon, and is immortal?"

“Even if you become a god or a demon, you will not change the fixed energy of this world. You will not make the energy of this world more, nor will you make the energy of this world less.”

The Demon King of Dutian said: "The energy of the world is constant, and the energy that can be changed is limited. When a person travels from this world to another, the energy of this world will be reduced by one person, and the energy of the other world will be increased by one person, breaking the original balance and causing him to encounter a force twice his own. Therefore, traveling through the world is difficult and requires the sacrifice of flesh and blood."

Qin Mu suddenly felt enlightened and said, "The principle of blood and flesh sacrifice is to sacrifice the blood and flesh of the creatures in this world to another world and turn them into energy for that world!"

The Demon King Dutian nodded: "And the energy exchanged by the sacrificed gods and demons descended from another world to this world to make up for the energy lost in the sacrifice of flesh and blood, thus maintaining the energy balance between the two worlds. For example, the energy in the bones on your altar was just sacrificed by you and sacrificed to my Dutian world. And in exchange for energy, I descended to your sinister world."

Qin Mu's eyes lit up and he said, "I see. What did you mean by saying that the energy that can be changed is limited?"

"Sacrifice of flesh and blood, building a bridge that connects the two worlds. If my power is strong enough, I can smuggle some of my power through the bridge and input it in, without following the energy balance."

The Demon King Dutian laughed and said, "The last time you summoned me, the power of the sacrifice was very small, and I mobilized a lot of energy to descend into this world. This is equivalent to forcing my way in, but the energy squeezed in requires me to bear the pressure of two worlds, so the power that can be squeezed in is still limited, and it will soon exceed my limit. The power that is smuggled in depends on the strength of the sacrificed person."

Qin Mu suddenly realized and frowned, "But in the darkness of Daxu, the two worlds overlap and there is no world barrier. How do you explain this?"

The Demon King Dutian laughed and said, "What if the energy squeezed in exceeds the limit that this world can bear?"

Qin Mu was shocked: "What you mean is..."

"A large-scale sacrifice of flesh and blood, building tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of bridges, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of gods and demons sneaking across together, infusing that world with their own energy!"

The Demon King Dutian smiled grimly: "Blast the barrier of that world! Once the barrier of the world is blown apart, there will be no more barriers. Then we can rush in without any obstacles!"

Qin Mu was horrified and shuddered several times. He looked unbelievable and said in a lost voice, "You mean, the world in the darkness of Daxu is a world whose world barrier has been blown up?"

“What will be blown up may not necessarily be the world in darkness.”

The Demon King Dutian smiled and said, "Don't you think that your world might also be a world that explodes?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "If this world was blown up, you could have come here at will. I saw that world in the darkness. Countless demon gods opened holes in space and led their demon sons and grandsons to kill. It is conceivable that the world whose barrier was blown up was that world."

The Demon King Dutian sat on the box, laughed, and shook his feet, saying: "From your description, the world in the dark overlaps with this sinister world. This reminds me of a very terrifying possibility. World Sacrifice!"

An extremely eerie smile appeared on the faces of his four puppets, and they almost jumped up with excitement: "World Sacrifice means sacrificing the entire world, using this terrifying power to descend into another world, and millions of gods and demons will descend together to destroy that world! This is a more ambitious plan!"

Qin Mu was surprised and asked, "Are they going to destroy that world?"

The puppet demon statue turned its head with a creaking sound, and the gazes of the four faces fell on him one after another.

Qin Mu's hair stood on end, and he said in a lost voice, "You mean, there are tens of thousands of demon gods that have burst the barriers of that dark world, and then they plan to sacrifice blood in that world and come to us?"

The head of the Demon King Dutian spun around his neck for a few weeks, and he clapped his hands and praised, "Smart! Daxu overlaps with that world and sacrifices that world. The energy of sacrificing a world is so huge and so terrifying that it can make that world full of demons descend on Daxu in one fell swoop! By then, there will be a terrifying scene of the collision of the two worlds, and billions of lives will be destroyed. It's really exciting to think about it!"

Qin Mu looked dazed, and suddenly shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Darkness has existed for 20,000 years. Doesn't this mean that the war in that world has existed for 20,000 years? How could a war last so long? Impossible!"

The Demon King of Dutian jumped down from the box and said, "If I were you, I would have immigrated to another world long ago. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and how can an egg be safe under an overturned nest? This world is too dangerous, I want to go back! Also, don't bother me so often, I'm afraid of you!"

He leaped into the darkness, his consciousness left his body and returned to the Dutian world, shouting: "When the world in the darkness is destroyed, that will be the day your world collides with another demon world, and that will also be the day of your destruction!"

He jumped into the darkness and was immediately invaded by it. Qin Mu hurriedly ran into the darkness and saw the puppet demon statue shattered to the ground.

Qin Mu frowned and returned to the box. The energy of the bone altar was exhausted and the bones shattered.

"Are the words of the Demon King Dutian reliable? This guy has always seemed unreliable, and now what he said is so scary..."

He calmed himself down. The words of Demon King Dutian were truly terrifying. How credible were they?

But think about it, given the nature of the Demon King Dutian who gloats over other people's misfortunes and wishes the world would not be in chaos, there is no need to scare him.

"Yankang is still too weak."

Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air and thought to himself: "However, the world in the dark has been fighting with the demons for 20,000 years and has persisted until now. They will not collapse now and be sacrificed by the other side, right? Therefore, the collision between Yankang and the demon world should be a long time away, so there is no need to worry too much... Hehe, I was almost scared to death by Du Tian. I am worrying about nothing, it must be worrying about nothing!"

After a few days, Qin Mu finally walked out of Daxu and returned to Yankang. He immediately rushed to the capital via the spacecraft from Mishui Pass, reported to Emperor Yanfeng, presented the Xuanwu Pearl that was tributed by Xiong Xiyu, the master of Zhentian Palace, and talked about the road construction.

Emperor Yanfeng summoned his civil and military officials to discuss the matter, and Imperial Master Yankang was among them. The officials had different opinions, and many opposed the road construction. Imperial Master Yankang argued with the scholars and rejected all the opinions. Emperor Yanfeng smiled and said he would behead them, and only then did the road construction matter get finalized.

Emperor Yanfeng handed the matter over to the Ministry of Works, and National Master Yankang was in charge. Qin Mu immediately found National Master Yankang and said, "The magical powers of the Western Land are very suitable for our religion. The Heavenly King will take several elders and hall masters of our Holy Religion to recruit more talents to join the religion."

Imperial Master Yankang wondered, "Master Qin, isn't it appropriate to leave this matter to me?"

"You are one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Religion, so naturally you are in charge."

Veins popped out of Yankang's forehead, and he said stiffly, "Then where is the leader?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I'm going to visit relatives and friends, and then do business to make some money."
