Chapter 1779

"According to the ancestral system, the offerings should be mainly food."

Li Si pondered and said, "Three animals and six beasts, supplemented by jade and silk … But these things are too ordinary for a god … Even if it's just to express our sincerity, it's too …"

Li Si didn't know how to describe it.

He really couldn't imagine sacrificing these mortal items to a god …

"However, since the Ancestor God has bestowed us with such kindness, I don't think he'll be interested in our offerings."

Li Si shook his head and said, "It's enough to express our sincerity. I believe that the Ancestor God can sense our sincerity. "

Ying Zheng didn't say anything.

Li Si waited quietly. He knew that this emperor might already have an idea.

"What do you think if we use humans as offerings?"

Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

"Humans?"

Li Si was stunned. He was shocked but also understood.

In the ancestral system, there were such situations and there were quite a few of them. Back then, when the various countries were in chaos, there were many examples of offering humans as offerings to gods.

There were also virgin boys and girls, etc.

However, such practices had been abandoned in the Great Qin Empire.

Moreover, human sacrifice was too cruel and went against human ethics.

However, the reason why human sacrifice was criticized back then was because there were no real gods.

"This … If we use humans as offerings in the name of serving the gods, it's still appropriate."

Li Si looked at the silver river hanging in the sky through the window of the palace.

The name of the Ancestor God had spread throughout the empire.

The changes brought about by the mysterious Milky Way were too great and too mysterious.

The majestic figure that could be seen by the entire Xianyang City that day was imprinted in everyone's mind.

"Your Majesty, I think that if we want to offer sacrifices to the Ancestor God, why don't we choose … blood sacrifice?"

At this moment, a steady voice sounded.

Wang Jian strode over. His steady voice echoed in Ying Zheng and Li Si's ears like an ancient bell.

"Blood sacrifice?"

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed. "You mean to sacrifice those demons to the Ancestor God?"

"That's right!"

Wang Jian said slowly, "The Ancestor God sent down such a great power to give Great Qin a chance of survival. The Ancestor God said that he knows the world and knows what's going on in this world. However, the Magical Beasts are Great Qin's enemies, and we need to personally defeat and kill them. "

"Your Majesty, Meng Tian wants to lead a group of soldiers out of the Great Wall. Capture fiendish demons and sacrifice their blood to the Ancestor God. Let's show Great Qin's might and not let down the power bestowed by the ancestor god. "

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "But it's only been a few days. Can you defeat the demons?"

Wang Jian laughed. "Your Majesty, those demons have invaded the Xiongnu people of the north. Each of them possesses inhuman strength. Our Great Qin soldiers are made of flesh and blood. Naturally, they are no match for them. But now, although we have yet to fully study the power of the stars in the sky, our strength has indeed increased greatly … With the elite warriors of the Great Qin Empire, all of them have already transcended the body of flesh and blood. They are absolutely capable of fighting against those demons! "

"Your Majesty, your strength has improved tremendously. I'm sure you know this better than us."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and pondered for a brief moment.

Then, he waved his sleeves and said, "We'll do as you say!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking.

The soldiers of the Great Qin Empire who had obtained the power of the stars were led by the brave and skilled General Meng Tian. Like arrows of hope, they shot out of Xianyang City and rushed to the passes of the Great Wall that were already in ruins.

In fact, there were already many scattered demons outside Xianyang City who had broken through the Great Wall's defensive line.

These demons were huge in size and different in shape. Their bodies were tainted with wisps of black gas and their eyes were red.

There was no killing intent in their eyes. There was only coldness and silence. They were like machines that carried out their tasks meticulously.

They were not something that mortals could compare with.

Even though the Great Qin Empire had Qi Cultivators and Martial Artists, they were still made of flesh and blood.

They were no match for these special demons.

Ying Zheng stood at a corner of the Great Wall and looked coldly at the endless stream of demons below the Great Wall.

The Fiendish Demons looked like ants. It was a horrifying sight.

Most of the passes of the Great Wall had been lost. The pass that Ying Zheng was at was the one closest to Xianyang City.

If this pass was lost, it meant that the demons could directly invade Xianyang City and take over the entire territory of the Great Qin Empire.

There was a strong smell of blood and rotting corpses in the air.

"Can General Meng Tian and the others defeat these demons?"

Li Si followed behind Ying Zheng. As a civil official, he did not have to come.

However, this was the first time that the Great Qin Empire's soldiers fought against the demons after obtaining the power of the stars. The outcome of this battle was very important.

The power of the stars from the Milky Way in the sky was indeed powerful. However, Li Si was not sure what kind of combat strength it could bring.

After all, those demons were too strong.

Ying Zheng's eyes were calm. He did not have Li Si's worries.

"If we only defeat them …"

Ying Zheng said calmly, "That is not what the Ancestor God wants to see …"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Several dazzling figures flew out of the Great Wall.

The figures were like unparalleled Gods of War. They rode on blood-red war horses in the sky. It was as if they could cross the entire Great Wall with a light leap.

They glided down from a height of dozens of meters.

The leader was a burly man with big arms and thick shoulders. He held a long spear in his hand and exuded a powerful aura.

Even the long spear was surrounded by a several-meter-long energy.

With a light leap, he could reach a height of more than a hundred meters. The long spear swept across, and the energy was like a sharp knife, cutting the demons with steel-like bodies into two.

Li Si, who was on the Great Wall, gasped when he saw this.

"So strong?"

Li Si was stunned.

"The power of the stars has the most obvious effect on Meng Tian and the other generals."

Ying Zheng's eyes shone brightly. "You are a civil official. Perhaps the changes are not obvious to you. However, Li Si, your current strength is even greater than Wang Jian's."

"This … I haven't tested it yet …" Li Si's mouth twitched.

"With the recovery of spiritual energy, the strong will naturally break through the upper limit and reach a higher level. In fact, that's not all. The power of the stars has changed the Great Qin Empire in many ways. We will soon feel it. "

Li Si nodded. Although he did not know what His Majesty meant by the recovery of spiritual energy, it should have something to do with the power of the stars.

What followed was a massacre.

Li Si was very excited.

Ever since those demons appeared, the Great Qin Empire had not won a single battle.

It was difficult to even kill those demons.

Now, the demons were being massacred by the soldiers of the empire like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Even though Li Si was just a civil official, his blood was boiling. He wanted to go down and give it a try himself.

Dusk fell.

The setting sun was as red as blood.

The demons retreated, leaving behind countless rivers of blood that gathered below the Great Wall.

"We can start the ritual now."

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face...
