Chapter 39: Chapter 37: The Grand Rite, Part 3
The mechanical design of the humanoid mecha, along with its posture, brought about a unique sense of oppression.
Below.
Qi Chuan held a flat fragment of beast bone high with both hands and walked slowly to the front of the crowd.
On the bone fragment.
Lines of secret text were engraved.
In the next moment.
Led by Qi Chuan, the tribe members behind him fell to the ground like a tidal wave.
Qi Chuan held the bone fragment high, speaking not in the language of the Great Wilderness, but rather in a peculiar rhythm, as if reciting scriptures.
At the back.
Accompanying his whispers, the members before him prostrated themselves on the ground.
Qin Jin observed this scene.
“It appears similar to our first encounter, but seems more complete.”
“In this view, is this the perfected ritual to form a contract with the Sacrificial Spirit?”
“Perhaps this is the ancient wisdom truly passed down among the Desolate Human Race.”
“At our first meeting, Qi Chuan was in a hurry and unprepared, resorting to a brief ceremony to attempt it.”
“And I had just arrived in the Great Wilderness, triggered the profession panel, and accepted it directly.”
Qin Jin recalled everything in his mind.
Admittedly, his first contact with the Fire Sacrifice Tribe set him on an extraordinary path in the Great Wilderness.
He looked to the front.
In Qi Chuan’s whispered tones, the peculiar rhythm gathered into a song, and the secret text engraved on the bone fragment he held up began to glow.
Like fireflies in the night.
Initially, only individual characters flickered, gradually linking into a script, with the secret text casting an unusual brilliance in the darkness.
The light projected the secret text into the air.
At this moment.
Qi Chuan held the bone fragment, leaned forward, and knelt on the ground.
As he knelt down.
Just like the first meeting, in the night, above the crowd, golden clouds of mist rose, forming smoke clouds above.
If during the first worship, the golden mist was as thin as a stream, it was now like waves rippling across a lake!
The golden mist rose and gathered, incredibly dense and pure.
It formed into a torrent, streaking across the sky, flying towards the Deep Driller.
Wherever this Wish Power flowed, beautiful scenes visible to the naked eye flickered and then disappeared in the void.
In the next moment…
The Wish Power descended into the Deep Driller, merging into Qin Jin’s body.
Suddenly, clarity arose in his heart.
The tremendous difference from the first worship was not just due to numbers or the completeness of the ritual; it was also because, at the first meeting, the Fire Sacrifice Tribe people trusted Qi Chuan and offered their faith in bewilderment.
But now.
Returning with the head of an Ancient Relic Species, Qin Jin had already established unparalleled prestige, and the Fire Sacrifice Tribe people were willing to offer everything to the Sacrificial Spirit.
Thoughts passed in an instant.
The panel displayed rapid growth in Wish Power.
This incredibly pure Wish Power merged throughout his body, bringing a chain reaction.
Qin Jin distinctly felt that his Life Energy surged fiercely, like a rising sun harboring astonishing vital force.
His physique, under the influence of Wish Power, underwent refinement, while his Spiritual Power grew gentler under its nurture.
This was merely an incidental effect of the Wish Power.
In Qin Jin’s Spiritual Perception, as the Wish Power poured in, the Deep Driller also underwent changes!
The first change occurred with the light sphere floating before Qin Jin in the cockpit.
This was the control core module of the Deep Driller, where the Martial Arts Family had to establish a spiritual connection with the mecha through it.
As Wish Power flowed in, the control core, originally emitting a gentle white light, was suffused with color, turning from white to gold, radiating a brilliant golden light.
“With this, even if I switch to controlling a different mecha in the future, I can directly replace the control core.”
“Now, it’s truly become a Holy Relic.”
“It seems that under the influence of Wish Power, the mecha undergoes changes in a modular fashion.”
“After all, the mecha itself has no life; the target of the Wish Power is me.”
“So it is because the Deep Driller mecha is spiritually connected to me, making the closest control core the first to change?”
Thoughts raced by rapidly.
In the next moment.
Suddenly, insight arose in Qin Jin’s heart.
With the increase in Wish Power, quantitative change led to qualitative change, and he gained insight into an ability related to the Sacrificial Spirit.
[Blessing]
As time passed.
The golden mist completely merged into the Deep Driller.
In the cockpit, Qin Jin’s eyes slowly opened, with a flash of gold passing through them.
He looked at the prostrating Fire Sacrifice Tribe members below, his voice filled with holiness and imposing power echoed.
“Rise, all of you.”
As the voice sounded.
Wish Power diminished, and below, the golden mist scattered into a fine rain, dripping onto each tribe member.
A soothing sensation spread throughout their bodies.
Knowing it was Lord Sacrificial Spirit’s gift, gratitude appeared on their faces.
And at this moment…
Suddenly, two surges of momentum exploded from among the crowd!
Xia Rock Tiger!
Qi Ze!
An invisible wave surged, and the surrounding tribe members instinctively moved back; the momentum of the two continued to churn, advancing towards the Newborn Realm!
The Desolate Human Race tempered their physiques by melting Beast Blood, and in their prime years, their vitality was exceedingly high.
In the initial stage of cultivating the Breathing Technique, for them, it was more like a conversion.
Xia Rock Tiger excelled among them, while Qi Ze had a significant talent in the Breathing Technique; they had already touched the threshold of further progression, and with the Wish Power’s influence, they smoothly broke through!
They broke through to the Newborn Realm!
The Newborn Realm Martial Arts Family would undergo personal transformation!
The two entered the state of transformation.
Atop the altar.
Qin Jin did not focus on the two.
With a slight movement of his thoughts, the profession panel appeared.
Qin Jin’s gaze focused on the information that had changed.
[Life Index: 43.7]
[Spiritual Index: 37.2]
A considerable leap forward.
He looked at the Sacrificial Spirit profession, the panel unfolded.
[Sacrificial Spirit]
[Current Wish Power: 3735 points]
[Blessing: Lv1 (1%)]
Similar to the Breathing Technique and Combat Technique mastered by the Martial Arts Family, the profession panel showed Sacrificial Spirit abilities that could be enhanced.
The Blessing, as the name suggests, can consume Wish Power to bless the Fire Sacrifice Tribe people, amplifying fortune, and providing comprehensive empowerment.
As the Blessing ability grows, the effect will gradually increase.
“Can this ability be used on myself?”
The doubt flashed through his mind.
Qin Jin did not rush to test it.
His gaze fell onto the crowd below.
Next to Xia Rock Tiger and Qi Ze, there was a large empty space, and their momentum continued to rise, undergoing transformation.
Qin Jin’s eyes fluctuated, looking towards another figure.
It was a vigorous man with fiery red markings on his right arm.
Qin Jin knew his identity.
Although they were meeting for the first time, he had already confirmed that this was Ding Yang from the Spirit Spring Tribe.
This was not only because he bore traces of an awakened Treasure Skill on his body.
More importantly, in the grand offering just now, the Wish Power generated by him was considerable and stood out, drawing Qin Jin’s attention.
More talented and powerful individuals could provide more Wish Power.
This was something Qin Jin had known since he first became a Sacrificial Spirit.
During the grand offering just now, he felt quite clearly that the Wish Power provided by Ding Yang even surpassed Qi Ze and Xia Rock Tiger.
“Qi Ze and Xia Rock Tiger have both cultivated Breathing Technique.”
“If he can slightly surpass them, it only means one thing.”
“Either his talent is stronger, or the Treasure Skill he awakened is extraordinarily powerful.”
Mind racing.
Qin Jin shifted his gaze to another side of the crowd.
Under his command, the Fire Sacrifice Tribe people had all risen to their feet.
Qin Jin’s vision settled on a short figure.
It was a six or seven-year-old child with pure eyes, looking at the altar, one hand held by a woman next to them, while the other nervously pinched the hem of their clothing, appearing quite well-behaved.
“The situation of this little one can be directly determined.”
Despite their young age, the Wish Power obtained from this child was greater than that of the other tribe members.
This indicates one thing.
This little one has extremely high talent!
