Under the blue starry sky, the imperial palace of the Witch God Empire was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and was extremely bustling.
From the palace gate to the Great Witch Hall, long colorful silks were hung with red lanterns with strange symbols written on them.
The symbol is the writing of the Yue people, meaning "longevity".
In the Great Witch Hall, lingering music with heat waves rushed out from the hall door, and the palace maids and eunuchs were busy all the time.
"This is the King of Coral from the West Sea. I sent people to salvage it for half a month before I finally found it. I wish Your Majesty a long and healthy life."
Sitting at the head of the hall was the emperor wearing a dragon robe, looking very old, with wrinkles all over his face from smiling.
"That's thoughtful. Sit down!"
The gifts from all over the country had been piled up into a small mountain in the hall, and the eunuchs serving had to take away some of them.
At this time, a eunuch read out the imperial decree: "Your Majesty's eightieth birthday is celebrated throughout the land. A general amnesty will be granted to the whole nation."
The ministers waited for a while and were surprised to find that Yu Ling ended like this.
An old minister trembled as he stepped out of his seat, bowed to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, anyone in the world can be pardoned, except the wicked. Please think twice."
The old emperor slapped his forehead and said cheerfully, "I've been celebrating my birthday and getting confused."
He then looked at the eunuch beside him and asked with a stern face, "I can't remember, and you can't remember too?"
The eunuch was so frightened that he quickly shouted, "Your Majesty has issued an order granting amnesty to all the people, except for the wicked."
Everyone was satisfied, and the atmosphere in the hall continued to be harmonious. Just then, the topic of the evil followers came up, and someone asked, "What should we do with the three thousand evil followers we captured earlier?"
"Just investigate and handle it according to the law. As for the bandit leader, he should be executed by slow slicing, and his entire clan should be exterminated."
The speaker was an official in charge of imperial law, and his remarks were refuted by other officials.
"The bandit leader, Ling Zheng, is from the Ling family, a hereditary marquisate. Who would dare to execute his entire clan? Moreover, the fact that Ling Zheng was captured this time was due to Marquis Boyang's sacrifice of his own family for the greater good. Your Majesty, not only should the Ling family be spared, but they should be rewarded."
The old emperor nodded and said, "That's right. You can discuss the reward later."
After that, there was toasting and the atmosphere in the hall was filled with joy.
However, when the birthday banquet was about to end, an old man suddenly rushed in from outside the hall. He was wearing a white robe embroidered with various insects, birds, fish and beasts.
"Your Majesty, there is a strange phenomenon in the sky. It's a big bad thing!"
The old emperor looked worried and asked quickly, "Great Wizard, what's the urgent matter?"
The white-robed elder was the Great Wizard of the Empire. Without paying any attention to the others present, he hurriedly said, "Not long ago, a giant creature appeared in the starry sky. It's suspected to be the legendary evil demon. The Master Wizard God once sealed the evil demon in the Demonic Abyss, but who knew it would see the light of day again."
When they heard that an evil demon had appeared, everyone at the scene panicked and the place became a mess.
The old emperor slammed the table twice to calm the others.
"Great Wizard, can you see clearly?"
"It's clear to see that giant object in the sky. It could be a demonic beast controlled by an evil demon. Your Majesty, the Sorcerer God once prophesied that when the evil demon appears, our Sorcerer God Empire will be reduced to ashes. What should we do?"
The old emperor was confused and had no idea what to do. He immediately ended the banquet and summoned all his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Finally, it was concluded that it was necessary to sacrifice the evildoers with fire tomorrow and pray for the witch god to come.
"I have issued an order to hunt down all the evildoers throughout the country. Even those who are only connected to the evildoers will be apprehended and sacrificed."
An old official was startled and said hurriedly, "If this happens, the number of people could reach millions. We can't spread it too far."
The great wizard raised his hand and formed a bright flame, scaring the others away.
"If you are not sincere enough, the witch god will not come and use you as a sacrifice."
No one dared to say anything anymore.
That night, people were being arrested all over the Wushen Empire.
…
In the dungeon of the capital, the squeaking of rats was like a sonata, extremely intense.
In the cell, the densely packed prisoners were making noise and quarreling, a sound even harsher than the sound of rats.
In the corner, a ragged boy sat here.
He looked very thin, but no one dared to disturb him.
When light shone through the window, the man finally looked up.
Although the window was only a small corner, he seemed to be able to see the entire starry sky.
"Is there really a God out there? If there is a God, why can't he come and save us?"
Thinking of all the experiences he had had, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"God, these abilities are not what we want, why are they forced upon us?"
He raised his fist and slammed it against the wall, creating a hole.
But even with such great power, he was unable to break the confinement set by the wizard.
Seeing that he woke up, everyone looked over.
"Young Master Ling, we should find a way to escape. Then we can charge directly into the Witch God Temple and kill those wizards."
The man's name was Ling Zheng. Hearing this, he shouted, "If we could get out, why would we be imprisoned until now? The Sorcerer God Temple is protected by the Imperial Army. No matter how powerful we are, we can't fight against the army."
Everyone was speechless and the atmosphere gradually grew colder.
They didn't know when, but they learned from the jailers' conversation that the evil spirit was about to come and they would be burned to death as sacrifices the next day.
The prisoners were furious, but could do nothing.
…
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away, the train has just entered the track.
Chen An gave the order to collect energy.
"There are many resource stars around here, and we're going to collect them with all our strength. Do you have any information about the planets?"
