#621 - Chapter 621 The Sacrifice Ceremony Begins
"Anxious! I'm very anxious. But is being anxious useful?" Gu Qingyi remained unhurried.
"Since you're not anxious, just watch carefully," Dongfang Chen said.
"We shall wait and see," Gu Qingyi replied.
Dongfang Chen disconnected the phone and reconnected the line.
It is now 11:58, and the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin.
"Mr. Dongfang, the High Priest just sent a message that the sacrificial ceremony will be successfully prevented. However, the fate of humanity has not changed," the Mayan High Priest said.
"Let's take it one step at a time. There's an old saying in Hua country, 'When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten,'" Dongfang Chen said, not surprised.
The remnants of Sirius have not been eliminated, so the fate of humanity will not change.
However, he had a bad feeling that Gu Qingyi's control of the Hua country base had other plans.
"That's right," Techas agreed.
"Now that the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, everyone be vigilant."
12 noon.
An anomaly occurred as expected.
The 108 Elder Halls showed activity.
Huge stones rose from the ground, growing taller and taller.
The entire Modo territory experienced strong tremors.
The stones grew higher and higher, eventually stopping at a height of about 20 meters.
These stones were engraved with dense, ancient symbols that looked like cuneiform writing.
The chief elders and guest elders of each Elder Hall sat around the stones, gesticulating wildly.
They transferred their abilities to the stones, causing the runes on the stones to emit a bright blue light.
Insects that tried to approach were instantly crushed.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Chen knew why the Queen Bee hadn't been able to detect the anomaly.
Because these stones themselves were made of very ordinary materials and were irregular in shape.
The Queen Bee would treat them as very ordinary stones.
"Mr. Dongfang, we must stop them immediately. They should be constructing a complex formation, and once it's completed, the consequences could be unpredictable," the Mayan High Priest immediately reminded.
"Don't worry, everything is under control. Let's first see where their altar is and what it looks like," Dongfang Chen said.
"Alright!" The Mayan High Priest nodded.
1 minute later.
An anomaly appeared 20 kilometers south of Kulak.
An extremely large stone began to emerge from the ground, with a diameter of perhaps 1 kilometer.
There was a person on top of the stone, stretching out his hands and shouting something.
"Is that the altar?" Dongfang Chen said, looking at the stone.
Apart from being covered with dense symbols, from a distance, it looked like an ordinary, shapeless stone.
"I think that should be it," the Mayan High Priest frowned and replied.
"Alright!" Now that he had seen what he needed to see, it was time to end it.
"Xiaolin, order the Queen Bee to take action," Dongfang Chen said.
"Yes, Commander. The order has been issued."
On the screen, the stones that appeared in the 108 Elder Halls emitted an increasingly bright blue light.
"Swish~"
Suddenly, a stone shot out a blue light, flying west.
Just then, the blue light reached another stone.
These two adjacent places were connected by the blue light.
"Swish~ Swish~"
Blue light shot out from other places, and more and more stones were connected.
Looking down from the sky, these blue lights, with the stones as intersections, constantly outlined a huge blue grid.
Presumably, this was the Star Array mentioned by the leader of the Mani Sect.
And the huge stone under his feet should be the eye of the entire Star Array.
As long as the entire Star Array was formed, the eye would have the ability to create a signal channel connecting to the moon.
"Mr. Dongfang, it's time to take action! It will be too late if we delay any longer!" Seeing that the Star Array was about to be completed, the Mayan High Priest became uneasy.
"Don't worry, the order has been issued, they won't succeed," Dongfang Chen said with a smile, reassuring him.
The Mayan High Priest's emotions were not stabilized. Although he didn't say anything more, he was still very anxious.
Techas was also very nervous beside him, his head covered in sweat.
Inside the Kyoto Central Base, Old Qin and Baili Ji also stood in front of the screen watching.
They didn't have much of a concept of this sacrificial ceremony, so they weren't so worried and anxious.
The blue light connected very quickly. In a matter of seconds, a large number of lines appeared.
Finally, the huge stone in the center was illuminated by the six surrounding stones, and immediately reacted.
"Ah~"
The person on the huge stone flew into the air, already surrounded by blue light.
"Buzz~"
The energy on the big stone accumulated to the extreme, and a beam of blue light shot into the sky.
That person was instantly swallowed by the blue light.
Seeing this scene, the Mayan High Priest closed his eyes.
Techas looked at the screen, his eyes wide and his mouth open.
"This..." Techas didn't know what to say.
"Alas! It's all too late!" The Mayan High Priest sighed.
"Not necessarily!" Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the screen began to change.
"Swoosh~"
A blue light disappeared.
"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"
Then two or three more disappeared.
