The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 265: On Sacrificial Rites (6k)_2



"What's happening?"

Suddenly receiving the message, Ju thought the territory was under attack again, requiring her to return for support.

Especially since she knew Bai Yi might have offended someone in the Starry Sky during this time, it would be possible that someone would find a way to track down and attack them.

In that brief second, she was already prepared to return and face several Seventh Rank opponents, relying on her own strength to bear the pressure and take Bai Yi away.

Now discovering there was no danger, but instead just needing her strength, Ju immediately shifted her thinking and prepared to use her powers to help.

"Here's the situation..."

Bai Yi explained Qian Baosi's cross-world teleportation ability to Ju in detail, and being of the Space Series herself, Ju immediately understood what she needed to do.

"Isn't it just learning teleportation by experiencing it!

Leave it to me!

It's perfect timing, after reaching Seventh Rank, I've spent the whole day familiarizing myself with my powers, but haven't studied the application of Seventh Rank superpowers yet, so this is just right!"

The learner here was ready, now everything was waiting for Qian Baosi on the other side to start the teleportation...

After all, this was not a real ability; it required invoking a sort of Divine Arts through prayer and seeking power, and couldn't be completed instantly.

Fortunately, the sacrifices needed by this God weren't complicated, and were quickly prepared.

.........

World 8848, underground base, shrine room

"Is it really okay to be so casual for a sacrifice to a God?"

Bai Yi stared at the "sacrificial items" placed on the prototype alloy tabletop in front of her, feeling her worldview broadened significantly.

A few hastily grown little flowers, a piece of metal from the room's walls that she had just controlled, stone ripped from the cave wall outside, and some food and drink she had brought.

——And that drink was something special. As a free player now, Qian Baosi as a Lord dug out an old reward from an early mission from her vintage storage, a bottle of cola from 1982.

Ahem, of course, that's just a figure of speech, but how could that cola not be expired!

This world has been destroyed for so long, is there really still such a thing as cola?

Oh, right, this isn't her world; this world had human civilization before Xuanxing, so it's fine.

But even if it's not expired, using these items for a sacrificial ritual seems a bit too abstract.

Even she, once an atheist, felt this was clearly blasphemous!

It's already like before she became a Lord, seeing people online use figurines as offerings to a shrine.

Hearing Bai Yi's question, Qian Baosi responded with confusion:

"Why not?

Isn't blasphemy something that should be decided by the God?

The essence of a sacrifice is to please the God, not to satisfy the inner thoughts of the followers!

This prayer offering is exactly what the Traveler specifically named as the sacrificial process, a cluster of fresh plants representing natural scenery and a piece of local property, plus a curious food item and any drink.

Your Highness, tell me, how doesn't this meet the requirements!"

Faced with Qian Baosi's rebuttal, Bai Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.

She also had already become a God for many humans and even her own created races — although sitting in the position does not mean she possesses such power.

Yet still, she understood this identity of being God to some extent.

According to Qian Baosi's explanation, it really was like this.

Sacrifice has always been about pleasing the God, even when she accepts the witches' offerings, she requires them to daily sacrifice something new.

And aren't those new foods seen as a bit abnormal to others?

But no matter the case, this is a God with true power!

How can this be compared!

Using these items for a sacrificial ritual really is...

Ignoring Bai Yi's inner struggles, Qian Baosi continued explaining:

"But speaking of it, the Traveler is actually one of those Gods with relatively low requirements for sacrifices.

Unlike Order, whose sacrificial process requirements are so strict they can drive people mad, allowing no mistakes whatsoever!

And Collapse, as long as the offering doesn't meet the expectations, not only will they not grant power, but may even inflict a Divine Punishment right there on the spot...

However, it's not like there aren't Gods with even lower requirements than Traveler, such as Eternal and Submersion, whose sacrificial demands are quite minimal.

The former mainly requires one to become their Favored and can basically gain power through prayer alone, while the latter is even simpler, only requiring prayer.

Though in comparison, the power granted is more random, as if the God is sleepwalking; even though the prayer is for Attack, it might end up being amplification instead..."

Qian Baosi recounted extensively, sharing all the knowledge she had.

Bai Yi counted them up, and Qian Baosi had almost introduced all the Gods.

"These Gods are too down-to-earth..."

Bai Yi muttered in a complaining tone, finally understanding.

Even though she was fully aware that the essence of sacrifice was to please the God.

There was an subconscious belief that the more powerful the God, the more respect should be expressed; at least not simply chipping off stone as part of the offering...

But with Qian Baosi's explanation, Bai Yi truly realized this.

Honestly though, if she could become such an entity, she'd definitely make the prayer ritual much less troublesome.
