Chapter 338: Radiant Light
"Teacher, can you open the Holy Tower?" Jiang Yan looked at Wang Mingyuan and asked.
Wang Mingyuan nodded slightly but said nothing. For a moment the car became quiet again.
The Holy Pagoda is not a tower in the ordinary sense. It is a statue of a god that is more than 100 meters high. Its whole body is as white as jade. It looks like a person with his arms outstretched towards the sky, praying for something to God.
Legend has it that before Jing Daoxian rushed into the federal building and committed massacre, this statue was emitting infinite holy light. The holy light was able to cover the entire holy city. No matter how many powerful forbidden dimensional creatures there were, they could not rush into the holy light.
But the current statue, although still white, does not have any divine radiance and is just a majestic statue.
In front of the statue, there were many soldiers, officers and inspectors inside and outside. The most eye-catching among them were six people, four men and two women. If someone knew them, they would be shocked by their simultaneous appearance.
These four men and two women are the current leaders of the six major families and are members of the House of Lords. When the six of them stand together, their power is greater than that of the federal president.
After all, the federal president’s bill can only be implemented if it is passed by the Senate.
"Sir, Wang Mingyuan has been brought here." Even someone as powerful as Shen Yuchi had to be extremely respectful in front of these six people and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
"Are you all ready?" A woman as noble as a goddess among the six people asked lightly.
"Everything is ready. Wang Mingyuan has agreed to open the Holy Tower." Shen Yuchi said.
"Very good, we have waited for this day for too long. If Wang Mingyuan can really restart the Holy Tower, then he will be the greatest contributor to our Federation. It's a pity..." Another elegant middle-aged man said lightly, but he did not finish his words.
"According to the information seized from him, the feasibility is indeed very strong. However, there are one or two key points that our researchers have not been able to figure out, and Wang Mingyuan needs to do it personally." said a man who looked like a secretary.
"Then let him go." The woman said lightly.
"Yes." Shen Yuchi responded and asked someone to bring Wang Mingyuan over.
As Wang Mingyuan passed by the six people, the elegant man looked down at him and said, "Wang Mingyuan, after the Holy Pagoda is reopened, we will forgive all your sins and give you a chance to start over. You must seize this opportunity and don't waste the kindness of everyone."
"I will seize the opportunity." Wang Mingyuan was wearing shackles, which were transformed from a special companion pet. Even if it was a mythical creature, it would be difficult to escape once it was locked by those shackles.
Under the escort of the inspector, Zhou Wen and the other three followed Wang Mingyuan to the statue.
"Are those four young men Wang Mingyuan's students?" The elegant middle-aged man said to Zhou Wen and the other three who were following Wang Mingyuan.
"Yes, one of them has some relationship with the An family." Shen Yuchi said.
"During this special period, the An family is no exception. Being able to sacrifice for the great cause of the Federation is a worthwhile death. I believe the An family can understand." The elegant middle-aged man's light words seemed to have determined the fate of Zhou Wen and the others.
In front of the holy tower, Wang Mingyuan, who was wearing shackles, stopped. He was standing in front of a stone tripod in front of the statue. Everyone's attention was attracted by him. Even the six people standing at the top of the federal power pyramid could not help but stare at Wang Mingyuan, expecting him to take action.
Wang Mingyuan turned to look at the federal officials beside him and said, "The sacrificial ceremony can begin now. Just follow the procedure. If anything goes wrong, it's not my fault."
"If something goes wrong, you will be the first to die." The official snorted coldly, then looked towards where Shen Yuchi was.
Seeing Shen Yuchi nod slightly, the official gave an order and a row of soldiers came up, lined up in front of the stone tripod, then cut their fingers and dripped a drop of blood into the stone tripod.
As more and more blood dripped into the stone tripod, flames actually started burning inside the tripod, as if the blood was gasoline. The more blood dripped in, the stronger the flames inside the tripod became.
A hint of joy appeared on the faces of the four men and two women. If the holy tower could really be restarted, the safety of the holy city would be greatly improved. Even if all the dimensional fields lost their ability to end in the future, the holy land would be a pure land for mankind, and no dimensional creatures would be able to rush in.
However, as more and more soldiers donated their blood, the flames in the stone tripod grew higher and higher, but there were no other changes, and the statue did not emit any holy light.
Seeing the last soldier had donated blood and left the altar, the official frowned and asked, "Wang Mingyuan, what should we do next?"
"Next we need to pray sincerely," said Wang Mingyuan.
The official was slightly startled and asked doubtfully, "Does prayer work?"
"If prayer worked, there wouldn't be so many poor people in the world," Wang Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Are you kidding me?" The official was immediately furious. He pointed at Wang Mingyuan and said, "You'd better be able to open the Holy Pagoda, otherwise I will make you reborn into this world."
Wang Mingyuan suddenly moved and bumped into the official. The official's strength was very average, and he was often sitting in the office. His actual combat ability was almost zero. He was caught off guard by Wang Mingyuan's collision and couldn't help but step back. After hitting the stone tripod, he immediately fell into the stone tripod that was burning with flames.
The official's whole body was suddenly on fire. He screamed like a burning man and tried to climb out, but it seemed as if there were a pair of hands pulling him from inside the stone tripod, making it impossible for him to climb out.
"Wang Mingyuan...what are you doing?" Shen Yuchi was furious. All the soldiers and inspectors pointed their guns at Wang Mingyuan. As long as he gave the order, Wang Mingyuan could be beaten into a hornet's nest.
Wang Mingyuan ignored it and turned to look at the statue.
Shen Yuchi frowned and asked a few more questions, but Wang Mingyuan still ignored him and just stood there looking up at the statue.
"Wait a minute, look at the statue." The noble woman stopped Shen Yuchi, who was about to go down and deal with Wang Mingyuan himself, and pointed at the statue.
They saw a bright glow appearing on the hands of the statue. Although it was not very bright, it made them ecstatic. This was a phenomenon they had never seen in all the years they had studied the Holy Pagoda.
The screams of the officials in the flames gradually faded, but the light on the statue became stronger and stronger. Not only the hands, but the entire statue exuded a holy light, as if it were a true divine manifestation.
"Sacrifice, of course, requires sacrifices." Wang Mingyuan looked at the rising holy light, the expression on his face became very strange, and he muttered to himself.
Zhou Wen and the other three were very close to him. Looking at the expression on Wang Mingyuan's face, they felt that Wang Mingyuan at this moment was so unfamiliar. He seemed to be completely different from the Wang Mingyuan in their memory.
Shen Yuchi and the six high-ranking beings were now filled with excitement. They saw the light from the hands of the statue shooting straight into the sky, turning into a halo in the sky and spreading to the surroundings, as if to turn the entire sky into holy light.
People from the entire holy city witnessed this amazing sight. Some older people couldn't help but cheer. They still remembered the time when the holy light enveloped the holy city. Those were the most peaceful days they had ever lived.
