Chapter 265: On Sacrificial Rites (6k)_3
No practical significance, let alone tiring people.
If a devotee one cherishes truly has an urgent matter, by the time the ritual is prepared, it might be too late.
"No, how do you know so much?"
Bai Yi suddenly realized that even she, who had traveled to the starry sky and encountered so many Lords, didn't know this information—how did Qian Baosi know?
"Because I've encountered these before!
Before the region opened, I was strong in my own region too!
With Space Ability fully maximizing mobility and functionality, I ventured far out after the region opened, even occupying a stretch of coastline!
Except for that one encounter during the Cycle Challenge, all the experiences were gained from fighting the Ocean Lord at the seaside!
What I just mentioned, all these things actually happened in front of me!
It's just a pity that not long after, Xuanxing started appearing frequently on world channels, and quickly retreated step by step, only able to guard the territory in front…"
Qian Baosi nonchalantly replied, grumbling about Xuanxing, but Bai Yi was instantly startled.
The prayers to these Gods are really too unstable…
Imagine at a crucial moment in a fight, just when you're about to unleash a big move, praying for God's power to annihilate the enemy in one stroke.
Even the enemy is prepared to withstand an amazing attack, only to find the attack didn't hit them, and instead, because the sacrifice was unqualified, your own God smacked you in return.
The sky has fallen down.
Even the other one, if randomly casting Divine Arts, would also be mentally exploded...
However, Bai Yi's attention had shifted elsewhere by then, noticing something Qian Baosi mentioned earlier.
"Ocean? Is the ocean very close around here?"
"Ah! Yes, though not very close, it's not that far either.
I tried a long-distance breakthrough using Space Ability back then, about five hundred kilometers in that direction, does Your Highness have any plans?"
"No, nothing, you continue with the ceremonial ritual first."
Bai Yi waved her hand, allowing Qian Baosi to continue her ritual, preparing to guide the cross-world teleportation.
Her interruption was already long enough, and Ju had been waiting there for a long time.
As she voluntarily stepped aside, Bai Yi began to ponder over this information.
Indeed, this world also has oceans...
According to the original plan, if the previous battle had not gone well recently, her plan was to start moving to the sea for development.
Since Xuanxing's advantage on land was too great, then move into the sea!
The ocean would equally weaken everyone; no matter how powerful Xuanxing's machinery is, under the ocean's suppression, most machinery is hard to use.
Especially those troublesome laser weapons that had been bothering Bai Yi!
Using laser weapons underwater? Seriously?
Even those energy weapons would collectively be discounted in power, directly crippling Xuanxing's mechanical forces' long-range firepower, forcing them into melee.
Although Bai Yi's subordinates would also be equally weakened, she has the Sea Son specialized in ocean warfare!
Moreover, relying on the ocean's uniqueness can make it difficult for Xuanxing to hinder her development; on land, there are ways to forcibly attack by using ground-penetrating missiles, but in the ocean, Xuanxing can't evaporate the sea.
In fact, her Fungus Blanket expands much faster in the deep sea than drilling into the land...
Though this time the battle was a big victory for her, she didn't lose the opportunity for land development.
However, although they have land, they can also push forward in the sea synchronously...
After all, they can develop faster and even compress Xuanxing's space more quickly, accomplishing both goals simultaneously.
Within the network, direct the Insect Swarm and Mechanical Brain Worm to expand mainly towards the coastline, striving to reach the sea as soon as possible, deploying the Sea Son and Fungus Blanket.
Just as the order was issued, the Array within the room began to glow.
The ritual has begun!
Silently leaving the room, exiting the ritual area, Bai Yi felt a gaze falling upon her, followed by a familiar space fluctuation appearing.
This was the unique fluctuation produced by cross-world teleportation, feeling exactly like the teleportation used to come to this world.
And that sensation of being watched from earlier, likely came from that God.
"However, thankfully, this feeling of being watched dissipated quickly.
This presence seemed to bear no malice, merely scanning once due to bestowing power."
Bai Yi sighed in relief; she couldn't deny that the statue of [Longevity] on that Clear Spring Altar had given her some PTSD.
Confirming her safety, with the teleportation's guidance and the entire process still needing more than ten seconds, Bai Yi took the opportunity to ponder the feeling of being watched just now.
"That gaze's origin seemed quite familiar...
That 'direction' seemed a bit like the perspective direction seen in the illusion during my ascension, cast down from 'above'...
So, is that the direction of future ascension?
Is a God the ultimate result of ascension?"
Although there had been speculation after the previous ascension, now it seemed she finally had enough solid evidence.
Furthermore, she suspected that what is called coercion, or perhaps priority levels, might also be related to this.
Like, soul-arming and Power of Faith are processes close to it, and Abnormal Object is the pinnacle of it all...
Unfortunately, the current ascension hasn't reached the level of Abnormal Object, maybe she could inquire next time about what level Abnormal Object belongs to in the Starry Sky…
But Bai Yi's thoughts were quickly interrupted because, at the same moment, the spatial fluctuation had reached its peak.
