Chapter 425 Who Has The Final Say In The Blue Star World? The Ceremony Begins!
Emperor Monarch's concerns are clear to the east.
However, sometimes things cannot be perfect.
When it comes to making choices, one must choose, weighing the lesser of two evils.
It is obviously more serious to offend Chen Yu than to harm the atmosphere among the demigods of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
Dongfang Xi has no way to deal with Chen Yu, she must first take care of Chen Yu's demands.
The Abyss Demon God outside the Blue Star is only a lower god, still being kept outside.
But the one beside Chen Yu is a genuine middle god who has already descended!
From the moment they entered the Blue Star world during the Moon Banquet, it was no longer up to her to decide.
She can be certain that even if she insists on leading the demigods of the Soaring Dragon Empire to stop the descent of the Demon Gods, she will most likely not have a good outcome.
If Chen Yu believes that killing those Demon Gods will bring great benefits and refuses to give up, what can she do?
Go to war with Chen Yu?
Without a history of cerebral hemorrhage for a thousand years, one cannot make such a decision, right?
Emperor Monarch also understands this principle, so after learning that there is a middle god beside Chen Yu, he can no longer argue with Dongfang Xi.
Moreover, Chen Yu has promised great benefits.
Dongfang Xi is not stupid, of course she knows how to choose.
At this time, carrying a heavy burden is not a big deal.
When she receives the benefits from Chen Yu, she can slowly resolve the conflict.
She believes that under the temptation of becoming a true god, the demigods of the Soaring Dragon Empire will be very reasonable.
...
Cloud River Province, Nine Peaks City.
In a luxurious hotel, Chen Yu has just woken up from his sleep when Yue Yan appears by his side.
And she brings news that the core of the Demon God's descent ritual has been completed.
"Bang bang bang--"
The door is knocked.
Without even looking, he knows it must be Lan Bumu outside.
Since the first day she was led astray, she appears outside Chen Yu's door every day on time.
Chen Yu spends his days happily and fulfilling, dating Lan Bumu during the day, going out to play, and sleeping with Yue Yan at night.
But today, he cannot continue to spend time with Lan Bumu.
He does not respond, nor does he open the door.
Sure enough, after a while, Lan Bumu leaves with a disappointed expression.
At the same time, a message from Lan Bumu appears on his friend panel.
After replying that he has something to do and has already left, Chen Yu, together with Yue Yan, rushes to the location of the formation core.
Outside Nine Peaks City, in a desolate area with few monsters, there is an inconspicuous cave.
If someone enters, they will discover a hidden Grotto-Heaven inside.
Behind the narrow tunnel is a spacious underground plaza.
The ground is arranged with a huge and messy formation.
In the center of the formation stands a ten-meter-tall statue of a Demon God, and dozens of black-robed figures are devoutly worshiping.
Chen Yu sits on top of the Demon God statue, watching with interest the group of black-robed figures below.
Since their faces are not covered during worship, Chen Yu easily captures the appearance of each of them.
A quick search in the intelligence database of the Soaring Dragon Empire's intelligence department.
Wow, each and every one of them is a prominent figure!
Twelve Rank Seven powerhouses, each managing a significant industry, with assets totaling over a hundred billion.
The others are also high-ranking officials in the Cloud River Province's political system, and there is even one person registered in the Countermeasures Department, on the personnel list for this operation.
This person joined the Countermeasures Department and has been working for over thirty years. Although their status is not high due to their strength, they still carry a lot of weight.
But this is just one core unit.
There are a total of nine core units in the Arrival Ceremony, each with nine cultists responsible.
One can imagine how powerful these people are.
However, this is only for ordinary people.
In Chen Yu's eyes, it is nothing special.
Due to the interference of Yue Yan, even a Rank Seven expert could not detect the person sitting above the statue they were worshiping.
Otherwise, they would definitely be furious and fight Chen Yu to the death.
"What are these people still doing? Why haven't they started yet?"
After sitting and waiting for over an hour, Chen Yu became impatient.
"Master, they are communicating with the Abyss Demon through the ritual array," Yue Yan answered.
"After the Abyss Demon agrees, the ceremony can begin."
"Since it involves the descent of the true body, the descender will generally be very cautious and fully prepared."
Chen Yu was speechless.
Who knows how long the Abyss Demon will drag on?
At this time, it is not convenient to leave with Yue Yan.
He needs to suppress the other party as soon as the Abyss Demon descends, to prevent widespread destruction.
Bored, he can only summon Xiao Yan and amuse himself.
After waiting for a long time, the cultists who had been kneeling and praying finally made a new move.
The leader of the cultists closest to the statue stood up.
The other cultists behind him also stood up one after another.
Bags of crimson crystals were taken out and scattered on the ground.
Then, the cultists took out knives and stabbed their own wrists.
Blood gushed out and splattered on the ground.
When the blood came into contact with the runes that formed the ritual array, the array was instantly activated.
The crimson crystals melted like grease, releasing a vast amount of Abyssal power, which merged into the array.
A crimson pillar of light shot up from the array.
The cultists laughed madly, continuously piercing themselves with the knives.
More blood sprayed out, but instead of falling to the ground, it gradually gathered in the air, forming a strange blood-colored symbol.
This blood symbol happened to be directly above the head of the demon statue, only a few meters away from Chen Yu.
"What era is this? Do they have to self-harm to prove that they are a cult?" Chen Yu commented.
"It stinks, it stinks! Master, let's go back quickly!" Xiao Yan, with a bitter face, pinched his nose and burrowed into Chen Yu's clothes, continuously patting his chest, pleading.
The strong smell of blood mixed with Abyssal power was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Primordial Elf.
Just like how normal people cannot tolerate the smell next to a cesspool.
Chen Yu calmly sent Xiao Yan back to the Unsurpassable Sacred Ground.
—After all, he didn't expect her to fight this time, just to play and pass the time.
"Can you confirm the specific location of the descent?" Chen Yu asked.
The demon will descend within the coverage of the ritual array.
That is, this area where the nine core arrays intersect.
However, the area of each core array unit itself is already large, each one exceeding one square kilometer.
The area covered exceeds one hundred square kilometers.
"Of course!" Yue Yan said, "We can even pinpoint it to within one meter!"
"That's good, let's go and wait! Give my little snacks from the Tree of Heaven a surprise." Chen Yu smiled.
