Feng Qiqi left the inner city and climbed up the mountain road.
The flames began to spread to the back mountain, and the woods below had begun to burn.
The back mountain is a magical hilltop. There is a crater above it and a dense forest below. The temperature around the crater is not scorching, so people can stand around it.
At this time, the sister, wearing a sacrificial crown, was standing among a group of adults, near the crater.
The adults looked at her as if she were a prey.
Feng Qiqi looked at this scene with some sadness.
...The reason why humans are superior to other animals is rationality.
When an antelope is being chased by a lion, it will subconsciously run towards the herd, bringing harm to its companions, but human rationality allows humans to go against their instincts and nature. It gives humans the courage to wait for death on the spot, or even run in the opposite direction.
Those who fear death can die for their beliefs. Those who desire to live can die for their spiritual independence.
This is the greatness of human beings.
At this moment, in Feng Qiqi's view, the sister who wore the sacrificial crown and did not run away was more humane than these beast-like elders.
He gripped the black knife tightly and immediately wanted to rush forward——
"—what are you going to do?"
Suddenly, a male voice came from behind him.
He looked over in a daze and saw a black-haired young man who had just climbed up the mountain and was looking at him.
"It's you?" Feng Qiqi recognized Su Mingan: "I'm going to save Xixi."
"Don't go." Su Mingan said.
"You want me to give up Sissi and let me go?"
"What else? Should I invite you to have dinner with me?" Su Ming'an said.
Feng Qiqi laughed instead of getting angry when he heard this: "I thought you were a sensible adult, but it turns out you're no different from those elders!"
"..." Su Mingan looked at him: "You'd better leave now. Because your sister will not die, but you are in danger."
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten the talent transformation array?" Su Mingan said.
Feng Qiqi's expression was slightly sluggish.
He knew that before each succession ceremony, the person chosen to be thrown into the magma would be the most talented child in the tribe.
Lord Baishen has gifted people with instruments to detect talents, allowing them to accurately select those with the best talents.
In this class, the most talented people are him and his sister. Their talents are equally great, so one of them has to be chosen to be thrown into the lava.
But now, after trying the talent blood awakening magic circle, Feng Qiqi's talent became better than Xixi's, and he became the most talented person in the clan.
Feng Qiqi stood there and suddenly realized this.
...The person who is to be pushed into the magma is no longer Sissi.
But him.
Not far away, the elders' preparations had entered the final stages.
The elder raised the talent detection instrument, and it emitted light like a radar. Its modern style seemed a bit out of place in the dome.
A ray of light appeared on Feng Qiqi's face, which was full of astonishment. She was no longer Qianqian at the crater.
The needle of the instrument pointed in his direction.
The Great Elder saw Feng Qiqi hiding in the woods at a glance. Under the detection radar, Feng Qiqi had nowhere to hide.
"——It's Feng Qiqi! He's there!" he shouted loudly.
"What's going on? How could talent change? Why did Feng Qiqi's talent suddenly surpass Xixi's?" someone was surprised.
"Don't worry about it, change the candidate first! Move quickly, the fire is about to burn!"
They let go of Xixi and rushed towards Feng Qiqi.
Feng Qiqi turned and ran.
He came here because he wanted to replace Sissi, but now Sissi is no longer a candidate, so he doesn't have to stay.
The flames gradually spread from the bottom of the mountain and approached the top of the mountain. The fire burned very fiercely and quickly, and during the natural disaster period, it spread up like a tidal wave.
He couldn't outrun the five elders.
The fifth elder Michael just flashed a light in his hand, and Feng Qiqi's steps slowed down. The azure light pulled his steps, making him unable to even rush through the flames.
"Don't run! Do you want to see the First Tribe destroyed? Think about the people in the sea of fire!" The Great Elder said in a shocking voice: "You are the son of the Young Chief, do you want your tribe to be destroyed?"
Feng Qiqi gritted her teeth.
"——Bai Shen won't care about us at all! I set the fire, it has nothing to do with Bai Shen!" He shouted: "Bai Shen has never appeared! You have been deceived, it was those researchers from the outside world who deceived you!"
He hit the jackpot by accident and guessed the truth, but the elders didn't believe it at all.
The great elder stretched out his hand, and a dazzling light rose from his body. A huge hand shining with golden light formed out of thin air and grabbed the motionless Feng Qiqi.
At this critical moment, Su Mingan stretched out his hand.
"boom--!"
Under the gaze of the people, the huge hand shining with golden light was suddenly broken by an invisible wave.
He blocked the attack of the Great Elder.
"Okay, that's enough." Su Mingan said.
He knew that the sacrificial ceremony was indeed fake.
At this point in time, the Hundred Gods have not yet been formed by people's beliefs, and He does not really exist yet.
So far, all the so-called oracles, sacrifices, myths and legends are just forged by outsiders.
Not to mention the talent detector in the hands of the Great Elder, which is obviously a modern technology.
The divine sacrifice ceremony is currently just a means for outsiders to weaken the power of the dome and eliminate the most gifted. Facing this fire, whether Feng Qiqi dies or Xixi dies, it will not have any effect.
Ignorant beliefs make these people lose their humanity, turn into beasts, disregard rationality, and do extremely cruel things. It is instilled with ideas in a designed way and makes this idea deeply rooted, regardless of whether it is a method that sounds absurd.
