Chapter 220: God Worship Ceremony

Chapter 220 The God Sacrifice Ceremony

"Li Wei."

The small, black-robed elder called his name.

Li Wei showed a look of surprise, "Senior, you know me?"

The black-robed elder smiled, "Of course I do, I also know another version of you."

Li Wei's heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed to greet him.

"Who is this Senior?"

The black-robed elder said, "Harras, an old friend of Torresta."

"Greetings, Archmage Harras."

"No need to be so polite."

"You know her? Help persuade her to become my apprentice, so I can take her to the Elemental Tower."

Li Wei was somewhat surprised and asked doubtfully, "Why are you so persistent about taking Lilia as your apprentice?"

If Lilia was unwilling, he naturally would not force her.

This matter must be clarified.

The black-robed elder said, "She is a natural-born Shadow Mage."

Li Wei understood.

He turned his head to look at Lilia hiding behind him.

Lilia shook her head hastily, "I am not a mage, and I cannot use magic."

The black-robed elder chuckled, "It's fine, if you don't know, I can teach you."

Li Wei held Lilia's shoulder and said, "Rest assured, he won't harm you, this is beneficial for you."

Harras claimed to know Torresta, and was even aware of the armored persona's alias.

Torresta did not give any hint either.

This indicates that what he said is all true.

Otherwise, Torresta would have transmitted a message to Li Wei long ago.

At the very least, he could trust him.

Li Wei said, "Follow him, you won't have to live a wandering life anymore, you can live peacefully."

Upon hearing this, Harras smiled without speaking.

A Shadow Mage wanting to live a peaceful life?

Go to the Shadow World?

Lilia looked up at Li Wei and asked, "Really?"

She indeed grew tired of the wandering life.

During this time staying inside the Mage Tower, there was food, drink, and lodging.

It was incredibly comfortable.

Lilia had never felt life could be so comfortable and relaxing.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Really."

Lilia was still somewhat hesitant, she felt staying inside the Mage Tower was quite good, no need to make changes again.

Li Wei looked at Harras and asked, "Lilia is somewhat special, there is another personality within her body."

Harras nodded and said, "I know."

"That is because her power is too strong, the original personality could not bear the power, resulting in a derived second personality."

Li Wei showed a look of surprise.

He didn't expect Harras's insight to be so sharp.

During this period Lilia probably hadn't turned into Lilith.

Yet he could see it at a glance.

Harras said, "I will help her balance the power within her body and resolve the influence brought by the second personality."

Lilia didn't understand, she asked foolishly, "What is a second personality?"

Li Wei explained simply, "Isn't it often when you encounter danger, you suddenly lose consciousness, then wake up and find everything safe?"

"You can understand it as, when you are unconscious, another you is controlling your body's actions, that other you is the second personality."

Upon hearing this, Lilia exclaimed, "Ah! There is another person inside my body?"

Her face was full of confusion, not understanding why there was an extra person inside her body.

She weakly said, "Do I have a child?"

Li Wei: "..."

"Forget it, if you don't understand, just forget it."

"By that time you will naturally understand."

After Li Wei's persuasion, Lilia relaxed her vigilance towards Harras.

After Harras gave her a sparkling crystal, Lilia agreed to be his apprentice.

Watching Lilia hugging the crystal with stars in her eyes, Harras couldn't help but shake his head.

He sensed that the future days might not be good.

Lilia's personality made him worry if she was truly suitable to become a Shadow Mage.

Li Wei smiled, "Compared to Lilia, I feel her other person Lilith is more suitable to become a Shadow Mage."

Upon hearing this, Harras revealed a trace of expectation. "Hmm, thanks."

After finishing speaking to Li Wei, Harras turned to look at Lilia and shouted, "Let's go."

Lilia froze for a moment and asked, "Where to?"

Harras did not answer.

His figure melted into shadow and disappeared.

Lilia also disappeared from sight.

Li Wei felt a vague massive energy moving away.

Using spiritual power to perceive carefully, he could only perceive extremely faint elemental fluctuations.

More of it was intuition.

Li Wei walked towards outside the city, rushing to attend the God Sacrifice Ceremony.

"Lilia went to the Elemental Tower too, feels like the future won't be boring."

Li Wei smiled.

"I wonder how far the High Knight Academy is from the Element Tower?"

"I also promised Lena to find her; if it's too far, it will be troublesome."

Arrived at Green Maple Highland.

Tens of thousands had already gathered here.

If not for the army sealing off the surroundings, there would probably be even more people.

Everyone wanted to squeeze to the front.

It seemed as though reaching the front would grant them the blessings of the gods.

After Li Wei displayed his magic badge, he was not stopped by the soldiers.

Yet he was blocked outside by the sea of people.

"Shadow Servant, clear the way."

The Shadow Servant walked ahead, forcing a path through the crowd.

"What's wrong? Don't push!"

"Damn, who stepped on my foot?"

"Stop pushing! My chest is going to be squashed flat, wuwuwu..."

Passing through the crowd, the view ahead suddenly became spacious.

On the altar, the number of people dropped sharply.

Tens of thousands gathered around the altar, but less than one-tenth stood on the thousand-meter diameter platform.

Only professionals and nobles could ascend the altar.

At least they possessed some status.

Ordinary people were not qualified to step onto the altar.

The higher the status, the higher the altar tier they could ascend.

The powerful figures of Maple Leaf City were all on the second-tier altar.

Only Mayor Oz and several clergy members presiding over the god-sacrifice ceremony stood on the third-tier altar.

Martin, Comas, Troiska, Lena, Old John Bieber, Jonas Rinehart, and others stood on the second-tier altar.

These people were all the backbone of Maple Leaf City.

Either highly skilled professionals or nobles with high rank and power.

Those below, although unable to ascend to the second-tier altar.

Still tried every possible way to move closer to the front.

Li Wei stood in the outer area of the altar, where it was empty and desolate, with hardly anyone around.

He was too lazy to squeeze to the front; as long as he could see the scene on the altar, it was enough.

With his current vision, this distance was roughly enough to clearly see the scene on the third-tier altar.

Li Wei turned back to look at the people below.

Separated by hundreds of meters, even over a kilometer, these sightseers couldn't see the scene on the altar at all.

He didn't know why they were still so enthusiastic.

Hum!

Li Wei's expression sharpened, looking toward the heights of the altar.

The god-sacrifice ceremony was about to begin.

The sacrificial items prepared for the gods began to glow, converging at the center of the altar to form a pillar of light, stretching straight to the sky.

Opening a descent channel connecting to the Divine Realm.

"Long live the Black Church! The Holy Spirit descends! We shall live forever!"

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred within the crowd.

Heavy casualties.

The pillar of light stretching to the sky was dyed with a layer of blood color.
