The sky brightened, the capital gradually woke up under the rising sun, and the smell of fireworks filled the air.
"I heard that they're going to burn evildoers as a sacrifice to the heavens today. It's at the execution ground. Come and watch the fun."
No matter in which world, for ordinary people, watching the excitement is like celebrating a festival and they must not miss it.
So the shops on the street closed, the stalls stopped setting up, and the crowds flocked to the execution ground.
The execution ground was in the square outside the side gate of the imperial palace, surrounded by the people in three layers, making a lot of noise.
"Today, we are going to burn three thousand people at once. It will definitely be a spectacular sight."
"Those evildoers deserve to die. They are the ones who caused the empire's drought for years. I hope it rains in a few days."
"They are coming."
The evildoers who were about to be burned to death were shackled and tied with ropes, one after another, like a long dragon.
Some people wanted to fight to the death, but the shackles had a force that suppressed them and they could not break free.
“Brother, brother…”
The little girl outside was crying and shouting, but was quickly picked up by the servant next to her and covered her mouth with her hands.
Ling Zheng on the stage heard it and his expression was moved, but he pretended not to hear it and followed the others to the execution ground.
Death is not scary, but this way of dying is too miserable, and he refuses to accept it.
When all the prisoners were piled on the stage, countless soldiers brought firewood and drowned the three thousand prisoners.
There is a high platform on the side, and the great wizard is performing a ritual with dancing.
He seemed to have real magical powers, and lights of various colors flew everywhere, winning cheers from the people, as if he was performing a magic trick.
The great wizard's face was solemn, and he knelt down on his knees after casting the spell.
Others followed suit and knelt, and naturally the people had to kneel as well.
"My Yue people have been struck by a sudden catastrophe, a sign of an invasion by evil demons. Today, we are burning three thousand evil followers, praying to the witch god for guidance. If the witch god approves, more evil followers will be sacrificed later."
He muttered something and talked nonsense for half an hour.
When his mouth was dry, the great wizard said angrily: "The sacrifice begins, light the fire."
Soldiers surrounding the execution ground threw out torches, burning the oil-soaked wood.
Few people could remain calm in such a situation. Those so-called evildoers either tried to put up a final resistance or cursed loudly, wishing they could go out and kill all the wizards.
Ling Zheng looked towards the corner of the crowd. What he was most worried about was his sister.
I hope she won't be implicated by me and can grow up well in the family.
As the fire grew, the crowd outside wailed and howled, coughing in the thick smoke.
People kept dying, and finally it was Ling Zheng's turn.
It hurts!
But he could persist and would not show his ugly side even if he died.
He is upright and fearless.
As his consciousness blurred, red marks suddenly appeared in his pupils.
Wow!
The wind blew violently, and red light shot out from Ling Zheng's eyes, forming a transparent film around him that just blocked the flames.
It was discovered that the burned bodies gradually disappeared, transforming into blood-red energy that was injected into the living bodies, making them refreshed and feeling stronger than ever.
"What's going on?" The great wizard was shocked. He had never seen such a strange sight.
The audience also panicked.
"He really is an evil demon. His body is gone. Oh my God!"
"Wizards, please suppress them and kill them as soon as possible."
However, the reality is that the transparent film cannot block the flames for too long. It will be burned through in a short time, and the fire will continue to spread, and people will continue to be burned to death.
The previously increased strength was of little use.
As for Ling Zheng, he felt his head swelling and his whole body was extremely weak, and he fainted.
The great wizard breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers to add more firewood to make the fire burn brighter.
However, it didn't last long before it suddenly started to rain heavily.
"The witch god appeared, and it really rained heavily."
The people knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, but the great wizard turned pale with fear.
He stood high enough to clearly see a huge ship-like object suspended in the air, spitting out large amounts of water.
The water was not intended to rain, but to put out the fire.
"Could it be that the evil demon has arrived? The Witch God Temple is ready for battle!"
There are many wizards around the platform. They are ready for battle and look at the "monster" in the sky with trepidation.
The so-called monster is of course a spaceship. Chen An just ordered to put out the fire because Fu Yao told him a surprise.
[Special beings exist in the universe, possessing the ability to change the course of civilization]
Chen An asked: "What kind of extraordinary person is that guy below?"
[He is a sacrificer, able to sacrifice dead lives to empower his teammates. He is not strong enough at the moment of awakening, so the effect is not obvious. If he becomes stronger in the future, he can even sacrifice the civilizations we destroyed, thereby amplifying the entire train.]
Chen An was shocked: "So incredible! What other special and extraordinary things are there?"
[Prophet: We can predict the future of trains and determine their routes. If there is a danger of collapse ahead, we can correct it in advance.]
[Defender: Can create super defense at critical moments to protect the train from being damaged]
[Brutalist: Temporarily increases the train's firepower, making it extremely aggressive.]
[Eternal: Sacrifice your life to transform into an eternal spirit state, allowing the train to directly upgrade stars]
[There are many other special and extraordinary things besides these, please discover them yourself]
Chen An asked: "Does our Purple Star have any special extraordinary people?"
[There is a high probability that Purple Star exists, but it is not on our train, it may be on other trains]
Chen An suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have taken the same route as other trains. If he found anything special, he could have snatched it away.
"Fuyao, why am I not extraordinary?"
[Any special supernatural being will have negative effects when using their abilities. Sacrificers will damage themselves, prophet will consume their lifespan, defenders will become increasingly weak, and eternalists will directly sacrifice their lives. The master does not need to be a special supernatural being, you only need to control them.]
"Haha, that's true. Let the spaceship land and pick up the people."
During the descent, dense arrows were shot from the ground, making tinkling sounds on the spacecraft.
The generals and wizards were facing a powerful enemy, and the people fled in all directions.
Chen An was not interested in paying attention to them at all. When the distance was enough, he opened the hatch, lowered the ladder, and let the robot go down to pick up the people.
But arrows are secondary. The unknown equipment in the wizard's hand can shoot out strange rays to slow down the robot.
"What the hell?"
We underestimated the Yue people. Their wizards can create extraordinary weapons.
"Weapons that use super powers? Can we make them?"
"We can't manufacture this. This weapon belongs to a Level 1 Transcendent Civilization. The Yue people may have just created it by coincidence. Master, I suggest borrowing some and sending them to the train for research. We may be able to create Transcendent weapons in advance."
"It's too vulgar to borrow money, just rob it directly."
Chen An sent out all the robots, and they advanced under the arrows and super-energy rays.
"Is this a supernatural weapon? It seems a bit weak."
[Low-level supernatural weapons are not strong to begin with and need to be developed to a high level before they become useful.]
