Lud Platform.
King Zhouu carried out human sacrifices here to appease the heavens. This time, he performed the grandest national ritual ever, surpassing even the funeral ceremonies of the previous emperor. He sacrificed eighty thousand people and one hundred twenty thousand livestock to successfully communicate with God — and even then, success was not guaranteed.

"Then where is the person?" King Zhouu was at a loss for words. Were all these wizards this incompetent? He felt he might as well have done it himself. After all that effort and so many sacrifices of nobles, was it just for a giant whirlpool?
King Zhouu scrutinized the Wizard, contemplating whether to sacrifice this guy next.
What a useless waste, utterly ineffectual.
The Wizard, terrified, was about to kneel.
A roar!
