The hair and beard of Tianyuan Star God Tumi have turned white, but his eyes, which are obviously old, still emit a shrewd and terrifying light.
“Back then, the rumor that the Star God Realm was preparing for the ‘True God Ceremony’ was spread by me. I knew that the rumor was ridiculous, but I grew up with His Highness Xisu, and I knew that he was cautious by nature and never had any doubts. Plus, the Star God Realm suddenly purchased a large amount of Mysterious Crystal Divine Jade, so His Highness went to ask my king about this matter, just as I expected.”
"Of course my king denied it, but he also left a flaw in his eyes for a moment. Others would not notice such a flaw for a moment, but with His Highness Xisu's keen mind, he would definitely notice it."
Tumi is a Star God and also the Emperor's teacher. He is not only the teacher of the Star God Emperor, but also Xisu before he became a Star God, and Jasmine when she was a child, all grew up under his guidance. He knows Xisu and Jasmine's personalities very well.
His life span was currently the longest among all the Star Gods, and his understanding of the Star God Realm and all the Star Gods was far greater than that of the Star God Emperor. Tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes and scheming had made him a wise man respected by everyone in the Star God Realm, second only to the existence of the Star God Realm. However, his loyalty and persistence to the Star God Realm had never changed.
Although he would have to sacrifice two great Star Gods, the two God Emperors’ own children, but if it would benefit the future of the Star God Realm, even if it was somewhat ruthless… or even inhumane, he would not hesitate. Even if the Star God Emperor was unwilling, he would persuade him to make it happen.
"Later, His Highness Xisu had doubts in his heart, so he sneaked into the God Emperor Palace when my king was out, and found a jade slip engraved with the 'Blood Sacrifice Technique'. This jade slip did not come from the Star God Canon, but was made by me and my king using an ancient gem with a very strong ancient aura. The blood sacrifice technique engraved on it is basically the same as that recorded in the God Canon. The only difference is that there is only one 'sacrifice', and it emphasizes that this blood sacrifice technique can only be sacrificed once in a Star God's lifetime."
"Tu…mi…old…thief!!"
Jasmine clenched her hands tightly, blood seeping from her fingers. When she was young, she had great respect for Tumi, and even thought he was the most gentle and omniscient elder in the world. Later, Xisu told her the "truth" before his death, and her impression of Tumi was instantly turned upside down... because it was Tumi who guided her to become the Heavenly Killing Star God while Xisu was away.
After she returned to the Star God Realm, it was also him who guided Caizhi to become the Sirius Star God.
At this moment, her hatred for Tumi increased a hundredfold and a thousandfold again. It was not until today, until this moment, that she realized that she had actually been living in a maze woven by Tumi and the Star God Emperor all these years... And Xisu, he didn't know until his death that the "truth" he knew was simply a despicable calculation.
If she had not been suppressed in the barrier, she would have been filled with murderous intent and would have taken his life at all costs.
Tumi's face remained calm as she continued, "His Highness Xisu took the jade slip and came to our king to question him. At this time, our king admitted it and told His Highness directly that he was the sacrifice."
“Although, as the son of the God Emperor, sacrificing for the Star God Emperor should have been an act of honor. But what happened afterwards was just as expected. His Highness Xisu was extremely opposed to this… A few months later, when His Highness Xisu left the realm, I led His Highness Jasmine to complete the inheritance ceremony of the Heavenly Killing Divine Power.”
“His Highness Xisu and His Highness Jasmine have a deep brother-sister relationship. After learning that His Highness Jasmine had become a Star God, His Highness Xisu finally gave up the thought of struggling and was willing to sacrifice for the future of the Star God Realm, fusing his own divine power with that of our king.”
There was complete silence all around, and everyone was filled with shock... and even felt a heavy sense of suffocation.
At this point, they didn't understand anything. If Jasmine hadn't become the Heavenly Killing Star God, then, with Xisu's personality, even if he rebelled against the Star God Realm, he would never be willing to be a sacrifice. If he knew that the sacrifice was two Star Gods, then after Jasmine became the Heavenly Killing Star God, he would have no hesitation in taking Jasmine with him to escape from the Star God Realm.
However, the truth he discovered was that the ritual required "a" blood-related star god as a sacrifice, and the ritual could only be performed once on the same person.
If Xi Su was a selfish and heartless person, then he could push Jasmine as a sacrifice to save himself. Even if the Star God Realm disagreed, he could leave the Star God Realm and force Jasmine to become a sacrifice.
Worst case scenario, he could always take Jasmine with him and escape from the Star God Realm.
However, not only Star God Emperor and Tumi, but everyone who knows Xisu knows that he would never do so.
Xisu attached great importance to family affection, especially after his mother's death. He blamed himself for not being able to save his mother, so he loved Jasmine and Caizhi to the extreme. He would never run away and let Jasmine become a sacrifice.
And if he took Jasmine with him and escaped, then Jasmine would become a renegade Star God of the Star God Realm, and would be hunted down by the Star God Realm for the rest of her life. Meanwhile, Caizhi would be left without anyone to take care of her, which was equivalent to being abandoned once again.
Therefore, he chose not to fight anymore, not to run away, and to protect Jasmine and Caizhi to the greatest extent possible... No one was surprised.
As for everything about the blood sacrifice ceremony, Xisu had discovered, explored, and learned it bit by bit himself. No one else had proactively told him anything, so he could never have imagined that this was actually a trap set by the Star God Emperor and Tumi... and that it was a trap set to target the kindest and purest side of his character.
It wasn't just Xisu. The "blood sacrifice ceremony" that the Star Gods knew back then was exactly the same as Xisu's. The only two people who really knew everything were the Star God Emperor and Tumi.
It can be said that in order to successfully keep Xisu and Jasmine as sacrifices at the same time, the Star God Emperor and Tumi also had "good intentions". They not only calculated Xisu and Jasmine, but also calculated everyone in the Star God Realm.
“Later, His Highness Xisu met with an accident and died after returning from the Absolute Beginning Divine Realm. Not long after that, His Highness Jasmine quietly left the Star God Realm again. Then, news came that she had been poisoned by an incurable devil poison in the Southern Divine Region. After that, there was no news of her…”
“Alas.” Tumi sighed, “I had thought that the ceremony that had been prepared for so long was doomed to fail. But God has mercy on me. The Heavenly Wolf Divine Power that had been dormant for a few years actually revived and resonated, and reached an incredibly perfect fit with Her Highness Caizhi. The news that Her Highness Jasmine was still alive also came. After Her Highness Caizhi successfully inherited the Heavenly Wolf Divine Power, Her Highness Jasmine also returned with Yuluo… It seems that the Heavens are finally blessing my king and the Star God Realm. My king actually has three children who have inherited the Star God Divine Power. The ceremony that will definitely change the fate of our Star God Realm has also been completed today.”
Xisu was willing to be sacrificed for Jasmine and Caizhi.
Jasmine returned to the Star God Realm for Caizhi and was willing to be a sacrifice.
And in order to gain access to the realm of the gods, the Star God Emperor not only had them sacrificed without hesitation, he even took advantage of their emphasis on family affection… They were clearly close relatives connected by blood, but there was such a huge contrast.
Many of the Star Gods, Elders, and Star Guards were visibly moved.
Caizhi was completely dumbfounded. She was the only one among all the Star Gods who had never known anything about the "Blood Sacrifice Technique" from the beginning to the end. The Star God Emperor would not let her know, and Jasmine would not know either. Today, she knew, and what she knew was an extremely cruel fact... She finally understood all the strange things that had happened to Jasmine over the years, and finally understood why Jasmine said that inheriting the power of the Heavenly Wolf was the biggest mistake of her life after she returned alive...
I finally understand why Jasmine hates the Star God Emperor so much.
However, while knowing all this, she and Jasmine were trapped in a cage designed for them, without any power to escape or resist.
“Sister…sister…” Her pupils turned pale as she whispered in agony, “It’s me…it’s me who harmed you…if I hadn’t inherited the power of the Heavenly Wolf…it’s me…it’s me who harmed sister…”
Jasmine shook her head. She tightly grasped Caizhi’s cold hand and glared at the Star God Emperor. Every word she said was filled with hatred: “Old thief Xing! Even though you are inhumane, I at least… I believed that you would treat Caizhi well… You… You… You will not die a good death!!”
She did not beg or threaten him to release Caizhi. After planning this for so long, how could the Star God Emperor just give up?
Being hated so much by his own daughter should have been a tragedy for a father, but the Star God Emperor’s face remained calm, and there was not even the slightest turmoil in his heart. He sighed and said, “You can hate me if you want to. Since I am the King of the Star God Realm, there is nothing I cannot sacrifice for the sake of the Star God Realm. Even if I am hated by my children and cursed by the world, I will never regret it!”
He raised his head and looked around the room. "All the elements are ready. The ceremony can begin. Once the ceremony begins, the power of all of us will be completely connected to this formation. We cannot withdraw it, and we cannot forcibly interrupt it. Are you ready?"
“My king…” Tianxuan Star God Aster spoke subconsciously… She and Tianyao Star God Qiangwei were twin siblings and had a very deep relationship. Today, she suddenly learned the truth of everything, and there was no doubt that her heart was filled with strong waves and reluctance.
The Star God Emperor glanced sideways: “What’s the matter?”
"..." Tianxuan Star Goddess Ziyuan regretted her words as soon as they came out. She closed her eyes and finally shook her head: "Nothing, please start, my king."
"Wait." This time it was Tianyuan Star God Tumi who spoke: "My king, once the ceremony begins, we will no longer be able to split our bodies and forces. In order to prevent any accidents, it is better to leave an elder behind just in case."
“No need,” the Star God Emperor said, “There is a Star Soul Absolute Barrier outside, and three thousand Star Guards guarding inside, so there will be no accidents. And if we lose a bit of strength, the possibility of success will also be reduced.”
Tianyuan Star God insisted: "Although outsiders cannot enter, we must guard against the inner forces of the three thousand star guards. There is no such thing as a truly foolproof plan in the world. No matter how confident you are in a situation, it is best to keep a backup plan in case of an emergency."
The same thing was taught to the Star God Emperor many times by Tianyuan Star God when he was very young.
The Star God Emperor did not object this time. After a brief moment of thought, he nodded slightly: “You are right.”
"Mingzi, you should leave the formation and stay here to prevent any possible accidents."
"yes."
Following a calm and low response, a tall and skinny figure withdrew his strength from the blood sacrifice formation and stood up.
Xing Mingzi, the thirty-seventh elder of the Star God Realm, achieved the Divine Lord Realm three hundred years ago and became the new last elder of the Star God Realm.
Xing Mingzi left the formation. As the Star God Emperor’s eyes changed, the huge profound formation below suddenly released dazzling starlight. The nine great Star Gods and the thirty-six Star God elders, a total of forty-five divine masters’ powers and divine auras, all connected and merged at this moment, forming two torrents. One covered the Star God Emperor, and the other enveloped the barrier where Jasmine and Caizhi were.
The blood sacrifice ceremony officially started at this moment, and it also determined that the fate of Jasmine and Caizhi was determined, and there was no possibility of any change.
