Chapter 397 - Demon Hunting Rankings (1)
Li Yu’s shout frightened everyone present into keeping quiet out of fear.
However, right at this moment, rays of light suddenly flickered on the Gate of Fortune. Countless mysterious runes flew out of the door and circled the surrounding void, faintly discernible and profound.
Upon seeing this, Tai Ri frowned as bone-chilling memories surfaced again. When this scene appeared back then, his Dao companion had become a sacrifice for the Gate of Fortune.
“The Gate of Fortune is about to absorb the power of the offerings again. Those so-called Sons of Destiny are about to appear!” Tai Ri spoke again. He knew that those people would not believe anything he said.
However, they might be able to see with their own eyes today if those Sons of Destiny had ascended to the God Realm or become sacrifices.
Even if those people could not tell, he believed that Li Yu could.
Indeed, before he finished his sentence, figures sped over from afar. Their bodies emitted a faint golden light, and mysterious runes flickered between their brows. They echoed the runes that flew out of the Gate of Fortune, and they looked extraordinary.
These people arrived around the Gate of Fortune and immediately arranged themselves into a strange array formation.
At a glance, there were more than a thousand people.
Yao Xi, Wang Yi, Gu Zheng, and others were among them. They were all expressionless, and their eyes were empty. They were like soulless puppets controlled by some sort of power.
“Family Head!”
“Third Brother!”
“Father!” Many people from the Immortal Realm shouted.
This was because their family members were among these Sons of Destiny.
Of course, the reason they became the Sons of Destiny was that they had seized the Great Dao inscriptions of the true Sons of Destiny.
“See that? These people have already been controlled by the Gate of Fortune. They have already lost their minds. What they need to do next is to sacrifice their magic power, soul, and blood essence to condense the sealing array formation again and strengthen the sealing power of the Gate of Fortune!” Tai Ri shouted at the top of his lungs.
The emotions that had been suppressed for countless years, the twisted truth, and the hidden truth could finally be vented and revealed today.
Li Yu frowned as he watched everything with a grave expression.
He was well aware that everything that was happening was not a scheme or a scam.
He was only twisted into a lie by some people.
The person who set up this rule with the Gate of Fortune back then was not wrong. Otherwise, the invasion of the demons would still lead to more deaths.
Even though a portion of them had to pay the price of their lives.
It was just that humans were not individuals. Every person who came to this world would definitely have entanglements with others, forming bonds that were inextricably linked.
That was how the tragedy of Tai Ri happened and the story of today.
From Tai Ri’s point of view, he might not be wrong. He was only doing it for the love of his life and to save his lover.
Many things in this world were not good or evil. Righteousness and evil were only different because of the angle.
There was no true right or wrong in this story surrounding the Gate of Fortune, but there must be a reason for it. The cause of everything was the demons.
In fact, from the point of view of the demons, invading the Immortal World might be a heroic feat and the right thing to do.
However, Li Yu was not a member of the demon race, so he naturally believed that the demon race was the cause of the disaster.
Since everything originated from the demons, he would resolve it from the root.
“Father, what’s wrong? Answer me!”
“Master, Master, can you hear me?” Many people from the Immortal Realm rushed over to call their families, but they did not react.
The others present fell silent as they watched everything. They knew that Tai Ri might be telling the truth. The Sons of Destiny were really just a lie that someone had fabricated.
However, although these people were not the Sons of Destiny, they were still heroes because their deaths were exchanged for eternal peace in the myriad worlds.
“Sect Master?” Ji Qinglan, Ye Qiu, Murong Xingqiao, and the others looked at Li Yu.
They naturally could not bear to see Yao Xi, Wang Yi, Gu Zheng, and the others become sacrifices.
However, if they stopped all of this, the Gate of Fortune might not be able to continue sealing the Demon God Well, so they were conflicted.
At the moment, Yao Xi, Gu Zheng, Wang Yi, and the others had already begun forming hand seals with both hands. Magic power condensed into runes on their fingertips, and a golden light lit up between their brows as if the ritual was about to begin.
Seeing this, Li Yu instantly released the power of his Primordial Origin True Body, enveloping the surrounding void.
The power instantly cut off the connection between the Gate of Fortune and the sacrifices. Everyone stopped moving, and their eyes regained their luster.
However, their eyes were filled with confusion and surprise.
They could not remember where they were or what they had done. They looked around in confusion and surprise.
“What… what’s going on?” Yao Xi, Gu Zheng, and the others looked around in surprise, but they immediately saw Li Yu.
A drop of blood essence seeped out of his fingertip, and it instantly entered the Gate of Fortune.
Blast!
The ancient Gate of Fortune shook violently, and ripples appeared in the surrounding space. An ancient aura spread out, and countless holy sutras echoed in the starry sky.
In a daze, countless extraordinary figures surfaced from the deep sky and kowtowed deeply to the gate.
