"You have activated the special creation: Ancient God Ritual."
"EX051, please note, you are being watched by the Outer God · ?"
"Mental increased by 1 point. Current: 34."
Bai Cangshu watched as the blood on the ground, containing the power of a demigod-level mythical creature, began to emit white light and was slowly absorbed by the altar.
He knew his idea was correct.
The Sage, after performing Dragonification, fully met the requirements for activating the altar's sacrifice.
This special altar was inscribed with strange symbols, which roughly translated to: "We Gods shall cross the long river of time and be resurrected on earth."
And the method of resurrection was through living sacrifice.
"Hey, Tao Bai Bai, you bastard…"
The dying Sage felt his mysterious characteristics weakening, and a great panic arose in his heart, but with his heart ripped out and massive blood loss, his consciousness began to sink into darkness.
The next moment, the grayish-blue giant dragon crashed to the ground, its corpse engulfed by white light.
Each time the Sage died, almost at the moment of death, the cognition of "Sage's death" would be distorted, leading to his successful resurrection, and the corpse of some unlucky person who had made a contract with him would appear in the place of his death.
But this time, this "cycle" was broken.
Bai Cangshu watched as the corpse of the mythical creature, a Sequence 4 Demigod, which possessed a high level of mystery within the mysterious world's power system, did not disappear.
But at the same time, a new corpse indeed appeared out of thin air, landing on the altar.
It was a woman, her chest ripped open, her heart lying beside her. She had inherited the Sage's cause of death through distorted cognition.
Bai Cangshu turned his head. In the void, the Sage, looking paler than ever before, staggered into existence.
Bai Cangshu raised his hand and pointed, a golden Dong Dong Wave instantly piercing his shoulder.
The Sage cried out in pain and fell. He showed no inclination to dive into the Subconscious Sea, only looking at his hands in disbelief.
"My mysteriousness… has been taken away…"
Bai Cangshu's pupils were wide, his half-black, half-white long hair still fluttering without wind.
Indeed, the mysterious information on the Sage had completely disappeared, now only leaving behind that intense and distorted demonic power.
Bai Cangshu lowered his head and saw that the Curse Mark on his palm was also slowly fading.
"You have lost Curse Mark - One Strike of Inari."
This was the second time Bai Cangshu had seen an entity capable of directly stripping Reincarnators of their abilities or characteristics, after the Black King · Luffy.
This being, possibly Inari God, or rather, this Ancient God Ritual, had stripped the Sage of the mysteriousness and power he gained from the potion, and at the same time, his own Curse Mark had also been stripped away.
"EX051, you have completed a living sacrifice. You have triggered the special milestone: Sacrificer (Rare)."
"Sacrificer (Rare): Initiate and have accepted more than 3 living sacrifices in any world (1/3)."
"EX051, you have survived direct gaze from an Outer God. You have triggered the special milestone: Outer God's Favored (Extremely Rare)."
"Outer God's Favored (Extremely Rare): Open more than three Outer God factions (1/3)."
"Side Quest · God's Power, progress updated."
"God's Power: Outer God ? has successfully entered the Ancient God Ritual. Please help Him defeat competitors to successfully descend."
Bai Cangshu saw many things pop up on his panel, but he only glanced at them before turning and jumping off the altar, grabbing the Sage, and quickly walking outside.
As for the hidden quest of God's Power, he had no intention of continuing to execute it at this time, just as that Crowned One had said, if the ownership of God's Power was determined, his life would not be so easy.
The so-called Outer God's Favored sounded good, but he was not sure whether such a God, "smuggled" from a small world, could contend with a Supreme Expert like Destiny Eternal.
Now he had essentially caused trouble for the other party. Whether the subsequent quest could be completed depended on the development of other parts.
Having lost the boost from the giant dragon physique, the Sage's body became quite fragile. Bai Cangshu merely squeezed with a little force and heard the sound of his bones fracturing.
Bang!
Bai Cangshu stomped hard, breaking through the quicksand and returning to the surface.
"Hey, Mr. Sage, now, it seems much easier to kill you~"
Buzz!
A brilliant white light suddenly appeared.
Bai Cangshu's pupils constricted, and he instantly fell backward. A terrifying beam of light shot past him, and the Sage's head shattered with a bang.
The light beam also struck his body, but with the Greed Cocoon, which had absorbed various energies, obstructing it, Bai Cangshu only felt a massive force impacting his body.
He instantly lost his balance and crashed to the ground from the air.
The Sage once again revived through distorted cognition. He came to his senses and immediately jumped into the quicksand.
Bai Cangshu's speed was extremely fast, and his eyes instantly narrowed.
Arrogant Vision was activated without interval.
Before the Sage fell into the quicksand, he suffered dozens of attacks, his chest collapsed, leaving only a strange corpse falling into the quicksand.
Buzz!
Another flash of white light appeared. Bai Cangshu frowned. The range of this attack was extremely far, even beyond the coverage of his Mind Net.
But Bai Cangshu, having already taken precautions, made the sand under his feet explode, his body's speed instantly pushed to an uncatchable degree by the naked eye, and his figure vanished into the wind.
The next moment, he appeared in the air, seizing the revived Sage.
He continuously stepped in the air with Moonwalk, moving rapidly towards the direction from which the attack originated.
He still had time to check his spatial panel.
"Based on your Mental attribute, you have obtained the following information:"
"You suffered a strong energy attack."
Not even the attacker's serial number appeared, meaning either the attacker's Mental attribute was far higher than his own, or… the attacker was not a Reincarnator.
And in this world, a plot character capable of using such a strong energy attack…
Bai Cangshu suddenly had a guess in his heart.
His action of putting the Outer God into the altar probably did indeed affect Destiny Eternal's current plan.
Bang, bang, bang…
Bai Cangshu kept bouncing at high altitude, moving extremely fast, and soon crossed more than ten kilometers.
At the same time, the range covered by his Mind Net finally detected the chaos in this area.
Several kilometers away, space was completely distorted, and a huge, vaguely visible, dark humanoid creature had already appeared in the desert.
And in front of him, two powerful martial artists of this world were already covered in wounds.
Bang Pu and Bang Pu's ferocious martial arts seemed to be swallowed by the sea in front of this dark monster.
The fist force that could shatter the atmosphere, when unleashed, would disappear into other worlds along with distorted space, but the opponent merely raised a hand and could send the two flying thousands of meters.
Bang Pu's expression was grim. He was restless, his peripheral vision still watching his disciple, who was emitting pure white light all over his body.
"Cha Lanzi…"
He didn't know what Cha Lanzi had encountered, but Cha Lanzi's current state was quite similar to that of the strange man named "Vagrant Emperor" back then.
Could it be… that guy appeared again?!
