Facing the gazes of the many Ming Shengs and Ming Shens, Ji Jiayu was only slightly stunned, then calmed down. He turned to look at Nie Lanhu and motioned for him to leave with him.
Nie Lanxi showed no signs of fear, raising his feet and walking towards the Great Prophet with Ji Jiayu. Within just a few dozen steps, countless eyes followed them.
The Ming Shengs and Ming Shens all knew who Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi were, but this was their first time seeing them, and they were somewhat curious, so their gazes also held a hint of scrutiny.
Soon, Ji Jiayu and the two of them approached the Great Prophet. "Hello, Great Prophet." Ji Jiayu was a little nervous.
Nie Lanxi, disregarding her usual indifference, said softly, "Great Prophet."
The Great Prophet nodded, looked at Luo Ying, and said, "Your sins cannot be atoned for with a hundred deaths. During the next mission, you will pay with your life, but this is not your punishment."
Hearing the Great Prophet's words, Luo Ying's eyes filled with fear, and she vaguely guessed how the Great Prophet would punish her, which made her feel even more uneasy than killing him.
"This incident all stems from your narrow-mindedness. In that case, I sentence you to sacrifice half of your divinity to him."
The Great Prophet's words fell, and the audience fell silent. Most people looked at Luo Ying with contempt, and a small number were slightly envious of Ji Jiayu.
The so-called divinity was a stepping stone for the Moon God to advance to the Great Heavenly God, uniting the Moon God's perception and essence.
Although Luo Ying was already determined to die, the divinity might no longer be of any use to her, but the Great Prophet actually asked her to sacrifice half of her divinity to Ji Jiayu!
Who was Ji Jiayu? The Lord of the Sacred Gem! A race! A human race that had joined the Sacred Sect! As for him, a "light supremacist," he was the founder and senior executive of the Light Supremacy Sect, and his life philosophy was the supremacy of light, and all else was subordinate.
This time, Sacred Chenghai suddenly faced the calamity of the demonic energy tornado, and the reason was that he, as a high-ranking member of the Light Supremacy Sect, wanted to make a last-ditch effort to try to break up Ji Jiayu and the human race on Paradise Island.
The Great Prophet's punishment was simply a matter of punishing him!
He was silent for a long time, neither objecting nor agreeing. But in this situation, did he need his approval? With things going like this, was he qualified to refuse?
He fell silent, and many Ming Shengs and Ming Shens secretly speculated about the Great Prophet's intention, but Ji Jiayu was a little confused.
A sacrifice to the gods? Although he didn't understand what it meant, he felt it must be a major event. However, wasn't that equivalent to the Great Prophet burning him on a fire?
After all, Luo Ying was a moon god, one of the high-ranking officials of the Sacred Sect, and her disciples were numerous. Her network of relationships was complex. Although it was natural for her to atone for her sins, This way, the people behind him would definitely hate Ji Jiayu.
But there was also an advantage: the great prophet had directly revealed his identity and status, and from now on, it was estimated that no one would dare to underestimate him again.
Ji Jiayu's thoughts raced, but he didn't speak. This wasn't an opportunity for him to speak. After all, Luo Ying was the moon god.
After a long wait, Luo Ying lowered her head and said in a voice that the members of the Guangming clan on the rows of long wooden chairs below could barely hear, "I accept punishment."
"Then let's begin now," the Great Prophet said. When Luo Ying heard this, her body stiffened.
The Great Prophet didn't spare her the slightest mercy! Letting her sacrifice her godhead in front of over two hundred saints and wise gods, and when they came out of the Prophet's Temple later, this matter would surely cause a sensation throughout the Holy Kingdom, and her face would be considered lost. The Great Prophet was going to kill her like a chicken!
The Great Prophet wanted to show everyone how firm his resolve was and how important Ji Jiayu's position was. Luo Ying was the Moon God! You know, there was no Moon God in the entire three human regions! In the Demon Realm, she was also a crucial giant. In this way, she was truly reduced to a chicken being slaughtered for the monkeys. How could this be, how could this be!
Luo Ying's heart almost broke, but she knew very well that things shouldn't be like this, and she was the one who caused everything to develop to this point.
"Alas!" After Luo Ying let out a heavy sigh, she slowly stood up under the Great Prophet's gaze. By now, she had already shed some of her illusions and was looking at Ji Jiayu with calm eyes.
Feeling Luo Ying's gaze, Ji Jiayu was extremely nervous.
After all, this was the Moon God, a senior a hundred or even two hundred years his senior.
But nervousness was nervousness, sympathy was sympathy. Ji Jiayu didn't say much, just waiting quietly. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of Luo Ying. It was a dark golden light.
The light didn't illuminate the entire Prophet's Sanctuary as brightly as day, but rapidly shrank into a polygonal crystal the size of a grain of rice.
Seeing this crystal, Ji Jiayu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain.
Within this small dark golden godhead, there were too many cultivation insights he couldn't comprehend at all.
Ji Jiayu turned his head and stopped looking at the dark golden godhead, but saw that many Ming Saints and Ming Shens below were still staring at him. Some Ming Shengs even had red tears in their eyes, but they still refused to look away.
Only then did Ji Jiayu realize how precious this dark golden godhead was.
When he turned his head, Luo Ying's body was becoming thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dark golden godhead rapidly grew larger, becoming the size of a soybean in just ten seconds. At the same time, dark golden flames rose beneath the dark golden godhead. As the flames burned, the dark golden godhead gradually transformed from a solid to a liquid, and from a pool of liquid to a gaseous state. With the pure divine power released by Luo Ying's fingertips, the dark golden gas slowly enveloped Ji Jiayu.
Ji Jiayu felt a burst of warmth, but other than that, there was no other feeling.
He looked down at his raised hand, only to see the dark golden gas entering his sacred skin and bones. The entire process lasted about two minutes before it ended.
At this time, Ji Jiayu looked at Moon God Luo Ying again, only to see that her entire body was sluggish, and her originally black hair had almost completely turned white.
Ji Jiayu couldn't bear it for a moment, but when he thought of the dead people in Qiming City, he was ruthless and didn't say anything to her.
"Go with Wang Yinlan, she will tell you the next arrangements."
The divine sacrifice had just ended, and Ji Jiayu heard the voice of the great prophet.
"Okay, Great Prophet." Ji Jiayu nodded slightly and walked with Nie Lanxi in a daze. At this moment, Wang Yinlan's expression was extremely complicated. Luo Ying, the Moon Goddess, had taught Wang Yinlan how to cultivate, but now, she had ended up like this.
"Alas." After a light sigh, Wang Yinlan led Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi out of the Prophet's Sanctuary. As for the remaining Ming Saints and Ming Gods, they would accept the arrangements of the Holy Sect's upper management and begin to deal with this major crisis that had affected the entire Holy Kingdom.
