Chapter 405 The Heaven Sacrifice Begins!
Walking out of the dark streets, because of the change in appearance, they no longer need to deliberately avoid some ordinary soul detection devices in the city.
He appeared on the street openly and found a mid-range hotel to stay.
……
Five days later.
Today's Mingdu is obviously a bit more solemn and solemn.
Early in the morning, the originally bustling city became very quiet.
Except for some daily necessities, almost most shops choose to close on this day.
Because today is the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
His Majesty Xu Tianran, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, will hold a ceremony to worship the sky on the outskirts of Mingdu.
Pay homage to heaven and earth, and also pay homage to the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Empire.
This sacrifice to heaven was more to highlight Xu Tianran's own achievements.
At the same time, it was also the moment when he announced to the world that he would prepare for the unification of the continent in the future.
The preparations for this heaven-sacrifice ceremony began several months ago, and a lot of manpower, financial and material resources were spent.
Early this morning, a large number of people have already flowed out of Mingdu and came to the outskirts to prepare for the arrival of this grand ceremony of the country.
On all the main roads in Mingdu, soldiers with bright armor stood on both sides, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.
A strong sense of chilling almost permeated the entire city.
Under the coercion of the army, the people marched to the southern suburbs in an orderly manner.
The scale of this heaven-sacrifice ceremony was extremely grand. For this purpose, the Sun and Moon Empire mobilized an army of more than 100,000 people.
On the outskirts of the southern suburbs, a huge altar was built half a month ago. The altar itself is a strange-shaped platform, with a circle on the left and a crescent-shaped one on the right.
It means the sun and the moon, which is the symbol of the sun and moon empire.
The circular altar covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters and is ten feet high. It is entirely made of granite.
On top of the platform, there are six consecutive levels of platforms, each of which has the same shape and shrinks one by one.
When we reached the top platform, it was only one thousand square meters in size.
The entire seven-story platform, from bottom to top, is red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, and purple, symbolizing the colors of the rainbow.
Everything in heaven and earth.
There are a total of eight stone steps around the altar that can lead to the top one by one.
This altar is not a temporary construction for one-time use, but will be passed down and used to worship the heavens in the future.
The area around the altar was already surrounded by a large army.
In the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north, a soul guide position has been constructed.
Although they are not soul guidance device positions on the same scale as the soul guidance corps, these four soul guidance device positions are all constructed by the most powerful royal soul guidance corps of the Sun and Moon Empire, and use the current Sun and Moon technology. The most advanced soul guide in the empire.
Among the troops mobilized this time, troops surrounded the altar, and the other troops had their own affiliations, most of which were responsible for commanding the order of the people.
The sky was completely bright at this time, and the sunlight shone on the majestic Sun and Moon Festival rooftop, exuding a colorful halo.
It is also extremely spectacular when viewed from a distance.
All the seven-story sacrificial rooftops add up to a height of 100 feet.
It is much taller than the tallest building in Mingdu.
In the future it will surely become one of the landmark buildings of the Sun and Moon Empire.
On the outside of the Sun and Moon Sacrifice rooftop, people under the command of the army have already surrounded the place with water.
There are more than 20 million people from the Sun and Moon Empire living in Mingdu, which is the true core of the Sun and Moon Empire.
<divclass="contentadv">At this time, there were not tens of millions of people coming to watch the ceremony, but millions of people, densely packed as far as the eye could see.
The time for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is held when the sun is three poles high.
At that time, Yang Qi is rising, which means prosperity.
In the distance, from the direction of Mingdu, a team composed entirely of bright yellow slowly came towards the rooftop of the Sun and Moon Festival.
Wherever this team passed, soldiers cleared the way.
At the front is a huge dragon chariot carried by one thousand and twenty-four people.
The bright yellow silk and satin on the dragon chariot has the pattern of thousands of dragons galloping, but in all important core positions, there are patterns of the sun and the moon competing for glory.
Yes, this is the dragon chariot of Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Empire.
At this time, on the dragon chariot, Xu Tianran was sitting upright, wearing a purple gold crown with nine dragons and beads on his head, and a gorgeous dragon-ying sun-moon emperor's brocade robe.
The gauze curtains around the dragon chariot were raised, so that the people could see the pair of the most powerful emperors in the world from a distance!
"Long live, long live, long live!" Under the unified command, the soldiers raised their weapons high and shouted long live.
Suddenly, the millions of people fell to the ground in the direction of the dragon chariot like reaping wheat.
Sitting high above the dragon chariot, Xu Tianran's eyes were full of majesty, but behind this majesty, there was endless emotion and pride.
Once upon a time, when he lost his legs, it seemed as if the whole world had turned dark.
But at this moment, he has become the master of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Looking at the millions of people who worshiped him, Xu Tianran seemed to see countless fortunes condensing towards him.
That feeling is so wonderful.
He couldn't imagine how glorious he would be if he became the master of the continent in the future.
It might even be possible to become a god in one fell swoop!
Sacrifice to heaven is just a formality, but it is an important ceremony that unites the people and makes the empire more stable.
Carrying out the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is the starting point for Xu Tianran to further realize his ideals after succeeding to the throne.
In the past two years, the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent have been working hard to develop soul guides and recruit troops immediately.
Isn't it true for the Sun and Moon Empire?
Xu Tianran has an excellent grasp of the rhythm. From the very beginning, after he inherited the throne, his throne was actually very unstable.
However, he defied all opinions and launched an aggressive war in almost the shortest time with the support of the Holy Spirit Religion.
why?
The purpose is to divert domestic conflicts. Regardless of whether those ministers support him or not, when the war starts, any smart person will know what to do.
Defeating the enemy is the most important thing.
However, this is far from satisfying his ambition. He wants to be the only emperor in the world.
His goal is to unify the entire Douluo Continent.
To avenge the lost holy war more than 4,000 years ago.
Therefore, he wanted to sacrifice to heaven, and he wanted to tell the world through this heaven-sacrifice ceremony that Douluo Continent belonged to him, Xu Tianran, and to the Sun and Moon Empire.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, there is a holy war.
Under the spotlight, he was like a sun, blooming with bright and domineering brilliance.
Under the attention of all the people, the dragon chariot finally arrived in front of the sun and moon sacrifice platform.
Xu Tianran stood up, slowly stepped off the dragon chariot, and then walked towards the rooftop sacrifice platform.
At this time, the lower level of the Sacrifice to the Heaven Terrace was already full of people. The people who could stand on the six floors below the Sacrifice to the Heaven Terrace were all important figures in the Sun and Moon Empire.
For them, it is an absolute honor to be able to stand here.
The cheers of the people sounded like a wave. This was a real wave!
