621: Chapter 621 The Sacrifice Ceremony Begins

“I'm anxious! I'm very anxious. But what's the use of being anxious?” Gu Qingyi remained unhurried.

“Since you’re not anxious, just watch carefully,” Oriental Chen said.

“I’ll be watching,” Gu Qingyi replied.

Oriental Chen cut the call and reconnected the line.

It was now 11:58, and the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin.

“Mr. Dongfang, the High Priest just sent a message saying that the sacrificial ceremony will be successfully stopped. However, humanity’s fate has not changed,” the Maya High Priest said.

“We’ll take it one step at a time. There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge,’” Oriental Chen said, unsurprised.

As long as the Sirius Remnants were not eliminated, humanity’s fate would not change.

However, he had a bad premonition that Gu Qingyi, by controlling the Chinese base, might have other plans.

“Exactly,” Te Chars agreed.

“The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Everyone, stay alert.”

It was 12:00 PM.

As expected, an anomaly occurred.

The 108 Elder Halls began to stir.

Huge stones rose from the ground, growing taller and taller.

The entire Mordo territory experienced strong tremors.

The stones grew higher and higher, finally stopping at a height of about 20 meters.

These stones were covered with dense, ancient symbols that looked like cuneiform.

The chief elder and Guest Elder of each Elder Hall sat around the stones, gesticulating wildly.

They channeled their abilities into the stones, causing the runes on the stones to emit bright blue light.

Bugs that tried to approach were instantly annihilated.

When Oriental Chen saw this scene, he understood why the Bee Queen had not detected any anomalies.

Because these stones themselves were made of very ordinary material, and they were also irregularly shaped.

The Bee Queen would have treated them as ordinary stones.

“Mr. Dongfang, we must stop them immediately. They seem to be constructing a complex formation. Once it takes shape, there might be unpredictable consequences,” the Maya High Priest immediately warned.

“Don’t worry, everything is under control. Let’s first see where their altar is and what it looks like,” Oriental Chen said.

“Alright!” the Maya High Priest nodded.

One minute later.

An anomaly appeared 20 kilometers south of Kulake.

An unusually massive stone began to emerge from underground, probably a kilometer in diameter.

There was also a person on top of the stone, with both hands raised, shouting something.

“Is this the altar?” Oriental Chen said, looking at the stone.

Aside from being covered in dense symbols, from a distance, it just looked like an ordinary, shapeless stone.

“I think it must be,” the Maya High Priest replied with a frown.

“Alright!” Now that he had seen what he needed to see, it was time to end it.

“Xiao Lin, order the Bee Queen to act,” Oriental Chen said.

“Yes, Commander, the order has been issued.”

In the screen, the blue light on the stones appearing in the 108 Elder Halls grew increasingly intense.

“Whoosh~”

Suddenly, a stone shot out a blue light, flying west.

Just then, the blue light reached another stone.

These two adjacent locations were connected by the blue light.

“Whoosh~ Whoosh~”

More blue lights shot out from other places, and more and more stones were connected.

From a bird’s-eye view, these blue lights, with the stones as their intersections, continuously outlined a giant blue grid.

Presumably, this was the Star Formation mentioned by the Moni Sect Leader.

And the massive stone beneath his own feet should be the core of the entire Star Formation.

Once the entire Star Formation took shape, its core would be able to create a signal pathway linking to the moon.

“Mr. Dongfang, it’s time to act! Any later and it will be too late!” Seeing the Star Formation about to take shape, the Maya High Priest became agitated.

“Don’t worry, the order has been issued. They won’t succeed,” Oriental Chen reassured him with a smile.

The Maya High Priest’s emotions were not calmed. Although he said no more, he was still very anxious.

Te Chars was also very nervous beside him, his forehead covered in sweat.

Inside the Kyoto Central Base, Old Qin and Baili Ji also stood in front of the screen, watching.

They didn’t have much concept of this sacrificial ceremony, so they weren't as worried or anxious.

The blue lights connected very quickly. Within a few seconds, numerous lines appeared.

Finally, the massive central stone was illuminated by the surrounding six stones and immediately reacted.

“Ah~”

The person on the massive stone flew into the air, his body already enveloped in blue light.

“Buzz~”

The energy on the large stone accumulated to its peak, and a beam of blue light shot straight up into the sky.

That person was instantly swallowed by the blue light.

Seeing this scene, the Maya High Priest closed his eyes.

Te Chars stared at the screen, his eyes wide and his mouth agape.

“This…” Te Chars didn’t know what to say.

“Alas! It’s all too late!” the Maya High Priest sighed.

“Not necessarily!” Oriental Chen said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the screen began to change.

“Whoosh~”

One blue light disappeared.

“Whoosh~ Whoosh~”

Immediately after, two or three more disappeared.
