It triggered the bloodline power of all the humans and formed a resonance.
Xu Qing was the same, fie looked at the human battle flag in the sky and the flag in the Seven Blood Eyes back then appeared in his mind.
Although he didn’t know much about the main and subordinate banners, he could still tell that the materials of these two flags were similar. They probably came from the same source. As for their might, it was naturally like the difference between a bright moon and a firefly.
Just as Xu Qing was observing the human race’s battle flag, the old eunuch’s voice echoed again.
“The battle flag is out. Raise the flag!”
“Open the heaven prisons!”
“Sacrifice to our human race’s battle flag!”
As soon as the old eunuch finished speaking, the world rumbled. Lightning swam inside and outside the battle flag, and thunder rumbled explosively. At the next instant, the Upper Mystic Five Ministries in the Imperial Capital each opened their heaven prisons.
Squads of human cultivators escorted countless nonhuman captives toward the battle flag in the sky.
There were no less than ten million nonhuman captives.
At this moment, all the cultivators in the Imperial City and on the Ancient Sovereign Planet stared at the sky.
Xu Qing’s gaze swept over and his eyes narrowed.
At the same time, the teleportation arrays in the imperial city were constantly activating. On the other side of the teleportation arrays, the various human armies in the large region also received the decree.
They opened their prisons and escorted the captives out.
If someone looked at the entire Grand Imperial Capital Region from high above, they should be able to roughly calculate that there were a total of 50 to 60 million captives being escorted at this moment.
This was the result of the wars that had occurred during the era of the current Human Emperor, and most of them were the battle spoils after the appearance of the Sun of Dawn.
The Human Emperor calmly spoke.
“Slash!”
In an instant, the tens of millions of captives in the sky trembled violently. The human cultivators behind them raised their hands and slashed down.
Countless heads flew up, rain of blood and corpses fell down.
However, they didn’t fall to the earth. In the next instant, with the formation of a vortex within the human race’s battle flag that covered the sky, these corpses and blood were drawn in, swirling back toward the battle flag.
At the same time, the teleportation arrays everywhere activated and the corpses of the prisoners of war who had been killed were sent over.
The moment they appeared, they were also drawn into the air and fused into the battle flag.
The battle flag instantly turned dark red!
This extremely bloody scene showed the cruelty between the Wanggu races.
It wasn’t just the human race. The offering ceremonies of the other races were the same. The strong preyed on the weak; in the Wanggu, this was the supreme law.
After absorbing such amounts of flesh and blood, although the human race’s battle flag was red, it still didn’t have enough spirituality. Hence… the second segment of the offering started.
That was soul sacrifice.
At the next instant, the souls of these tens of millions of dead nonhumans appeared in the world, their reincarnations locked and unable to move on to the afterlife.
Their souls roamed the sky, as if a ghostly realm had descended upon the human world.
However, the human world wasn’t weak, and the ghostly realm did not always bring sharp cries but also contained the sound of mournful wails.
So, in an instant, as the vortex of the human race’s battle flag spun, these tens of millions of souls were drawn in, as if being devoured, and were all absorbed into the battle flag.
All of them entered and were absorbed into the battle flag as nutrients!
At this moment, the old eunuch’s voice became excited.
“The sacrificial rites for the race’s flag are complete. Our emperor shall now offer the sacrifice!”
The Empress expressionlessly raised her right hand and grabbed at the sky.
With this grab, the sky rumbled and distorted, tilting toward the Empress. Finally, the human battle flag that covered the sky headed straight for the Empress.
At the next instant, it was plucked from the sky by the Empress!
She grabbed the flagpole of the battle flag and waved it at the sky that was now uncovered.
The large flag waved and spread out like waves. After waving it once, it formed a red vortex in the sky.
This wasn’t the end. The Empress waved the battle flag again.
Immediately, the blood-red vortex became even more intense.
After nine times, the vortex transformed into a blood-red tornado. With monstrous power and the might to destroy the void, it tore in all directions.
It was as though a gap was about to be opened!
However, the sky of the Wanggu was sealed; entry from the outside was possible, but exiting from the inside required an extraordinarily high price.
Back then, Xu Qing and Erniu relied on the power of the Divine Realm to do this.
Seeing the Empress’ actions, Xu Qing’s pupils narrowed slightly.
At the next instant, a deafening sound echoed. The Ancient Sovereign Planet swayed and the fortune of the human race soared into the sky like a dragon, smashing fiercely toward the center of the vortex!
The dragon of fortune roared and its entire body fluctuated intensely, as though it was pressing forward!
At the same time, an even more terrifying energy wave spread out from the Ancient Sovereign Planet. To be precise… it came from the golden divine fire burning on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
Although this fire wasn’t completed, it now possessed the aura of gods. As the Ancient Sovereign Planet rumbled, it was guided into the air and headed straight for the blood-red storm in the sky.
Its aura was astonishing, like an eternal fire that burned everything!
This wasn’t the end. At the next moment, the Empress raised her hand and swung it fiercely. She used the human battle flag in her hand as a spear and shot it into the sky.
The battle flag pierced through everything in its path with unstoppable force, as if any obstacle before it would be shattered, and any barrier would be torn apart by the indomitable will contained within the fortune of humanity.
At the same time, she took a step toward the sky, appearing at the zenith of the sky. She embodied the destiny and will of the human race. From her position as the emperor, with unparalleled determination, she clenched her right fist and punched toward the sky.
Everything gathered to break through the sky!
The storm generated from the flag as a vortex, humanity’s will as the catalyst, fortune as the dragon, battle flag as the spear, and divine fire as power, all of these paired up with a peak Ruler’s strength to form a power that could split the sky and earth!
The sky rumbled and cracking sounds echoed.
The sky cracked!
A huge gap opened in the sky.
It revealed the starry sky outside and a beam of silver light.
This beam of light was huge and enveloped the sky above the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region. One end was here, and the other end… extended into the starry sky.
It connected to a holy planet that was completely silver in an unknown area in the starry sky!
That planet was naturally not as big as Wanggu but it was large enough. Upon closer inspection, it was actually extremely similar to the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
It was… the Mystic Nether Holy Land established by the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether back then!
As for this huge silver beam of light, it was like a passageway!
The Empress’ eyes revealed determination as her voice echoed.
“Wanggu’s human race’s current generation Human Emperor.”
“Today, 1 offer forty-nine Imperial Seals formed from the nourishment of the human race’s fortune as tributes to the Mystic Nether Holy Land.”
As she spoke, the Empress waved her hand, and immediately, one by one, luminous Imperial Seals soared into the sky from the human race’s fortune on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
Each of these seals exuded an aura of supreme treasure rich with the human race’s fortune and will. Due to the recent resurgence of the human race, these seals appeared even more radiant than before.
It even emitted a sense of faith power.
At that moment, all of them rose into the air and were personally sent off by the Human Emperor to the holy land.
Soon, under the gazes of everyone from the human race and with the Empress bowing her head in reverence, these forty-nine Imperial Seals flew out of the crack and into the silver light passage.
They followed the passage and headed up.
This was the complete offering ritual.
Every time they made an offering to heaven, they had to pay a tribute to the holy land. However, in the past, although the tribute was also the Imperial Seals formed by fortune, there weren’t many of them and they couldn’t tear the sky like this.
Instead, the offering was completed through an ancient method that had been passed down from the holy land.
Only this time was different.
What was even more different was that the instant the forty-nine Imperial Seals flew rapidly toward the holy land in the silver beam of light, the silver light flickered and there was a sense of rejection.
There were also fluctuations that rapidly swept through the silver light, as though they were probing. The moment they came into contact with the forty-nine Imperial Seals, they shook in unison.
At the next instant, a shocking scene appeared before all the human cultivators.
The forty-nine Imperial Seals that were speeding in the silver beam of light shattered, revealing the things that were hidden in them.
There were forty-nine sun-like existences.
They were forty-nine spheres of flames.
They were forty-nine Suns of Dawn!!
“Please enjoy the offering, holy land.”
“May you be honored and pleased!”
The Empress raised her head and calmly spoke..
