Virtual Space Rest Area——
The system cheered and congratulated: "Host, congratulations! You have completed all the tasks in the small world! Next, this system will award you all the rewards, please be sure to accept them!"
Chen Yao replied cheerfully, "Okay, I'll take it."
The system immediately put good things into Chen Yao's sea of consciousness with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound, as if it was picking up a bargain and would not let it go for nothing, even though it was obviously Chen Yao who received the things, not it.
After a while, it finally stopped what it was doing and took a few breaths as if it was tired.
"Okay?" Chen Yao asked.
"No." It wiped the virtual beads of sweat from its forehead and said with a smile: "Those were just appetizers."
Chen Yao was stunned.
Then, she saw it grunting and continuing to put things into her sea of consciousness, and the speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that Chen Yao could not see clearly what it was putting in. She could only vaguely see bright flashes of light passing by.
It was unknown how long it took before it finally stopped its movements as if exhausted, and lay flat on its back, saying, "I've finally emptied the treasures from the warehouse. Thankfully, your sea of consciousness is large enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to hold all the treasures."
Chen Yao found it very unbelievable, "Move, empty it?"
The system smiled and said, "Yes, I did empty it, but I only took out the good stuff. I didn't take any of the useless stuff for you, so that you don't have to go through the extra step of cleaning up the garbage later."
Chen Yao smiled and said thank you to it.
"Master Host," the system suddenly called her seriously, "This thing I'm going to give you is very important. Please keep it well."
Chen Yao was puzzled: "Is there anything else you want to give me?"
The system nodded vigorously, and then took out an irregularly shaped object about the size of a fist that shone with dazzling colorful light from somewhere. It held it in both hands and presented it to Chen Yao as if offering a treasure, with a focused and pious expression.
It said: "Host, please close your eyes now."
Shen Yao paused, then did as she was told.
The system smiled, raised its hands a little higher, and muttered something silently.
Soon, the object with multicolored light lying in its hand flew towards Chen Yao's heart as if it had consciousness...
Chen Yao, with her eyes closed, felt a warmth flowing through her heart. Before she had time to think about it, she heard the system telling her that she could open her eyes.
However, after she opened her eyes, the system she saw was different from before.
Its body, for some reason, turned translucent?
"What's wrong with you?" she asked anxiously.
"I'm fine..." the system said weakly, "It's just that there's a very distant story that I want to tell you now..."
Thousands of years ago——
The heavens experienced a great war with the demon world.
In that great war, both the God Realm and the Demon Realm suffered heavy losses. Some gods in the God Realm perished, while others suffered severe injuries.
The god Yun Yao, who had been mentioned several times by the system and Shen Yao before, unfortunately died in the great battle that year and his soul was almost destroyed.
Later, the god Jun Ming, who occupied the eastern position among the four great gods and had no way of knowing or participating in that battle because he was in seclusion, learned that the god Yun Yao had fallen. He went crazy and took the sword of the god to break through the barrier and broke into the demon world, crushing the demon who killed the god Yun Yao to ashes on the spot.
That battle was actually initiated by the Demon Realm. They were targeting the opportunity when Jun Ming, the strongest of the four gods, was in seclusion.
But what they didn't expect was that after Jun Ming came out of seclusion, he would come back again. It was not enough to kill the main force of their demon world, but he also killed all the other demons.
The demon world was soon filled with rivers of blood.
In the end, Jun Ming returned to the heaven with serious injuries. Even though he was seriously injured, no demon in the demon world dared to stop him from going back.
After returning to heaven, Jun Ming did not recuperate first, but went to find a god who observed the celestial phenomena and told fortunes.
He learned from him that one of the three souls and seven spirits of the god Yun Yao might still be alive.
But this soul has already drifted to the human world. Without any nourishment, it is very likely that it has become almost exhausted and difficult to find.
If one wants to preserve this soul, perhaps the only way is a very ancient method of sacrifice: sacrificing the heart of a god, and there is no way to be sure whether the sacrifice will ultimately be successful.
Because this sacrificial technique is too ancient and few gods have used it for tens of thousands of years, there are many uncertainties.
The divination god told Jun Ming the story as if it were an ancient story, but he didn't expect that Jun Ming would actually try it.
later……
Jun Ming found the location where Yun Yao fell that year, tightly grasped his divine blade in his hand, and pointed it directly at his heart.
They say that the blade of God only slays evil spirits.
But when Jun Ming inserted the divine blade into his heart, he did not hesitate or worry at all.
Countless bright lights burst out all around, and the light became more and more dazzling, especially in the heart.
Bright red blood flowed out in streams until the beating heart was tightly wrapped in the bright light and slowly separated from the chest. The flowing blood gradually turned into a transparent and crystal color, and stopped flowing as if it had lost its vitality.
The god raised his hand slightly, and his fingertips traced Sanskrit in the air. As soon as the golden Sanskrit took shape, he rushed towards the heart impatiently, and then opened his huge mouth of the abyss to swallow it.
