The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 265: On Sacrificial Rituals (6k)



"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Was this statue originally like this?"

Bai Yi stared intensely at the sculpture depicting a Dragon Girl and asked the Miss Maid beside her.

The Clear Spring Altar has long been the sole water source for the territory, serving as the most widespread building within the area.

From various corners of the city to the tree house under You's shade, it can be found in almost any place where water is used.

Even later, when spells and arrays could actively control the creation of water, making water sources more convenient, this building still spread across most of the territory's occupied zone due to its Life Spring characteristic.

The natural constructions of the territory were not demolished; instead, during You's growth, they underwent several transformations to adapt to her, changing positions multiple times.

"I placed it there! I think it looks better this way!"

A voice suddenly joined the conversation, and without looking, Bai Yi already knew the source of the voice.

She felt relieved but also cautious again.

"You, why did you think to place it like this?"

"No reason, it just feels like this way is right.

Plus, I thought the statue looked nice this way, so I placed it like this."

You replied very decisively, completely responding according to her first impulse.

Relying on her connection with You, Bai Yi repeatedly confirmed that You was not influenced, completely acting on her free will, allowing Bai Yi to relax.

It's not that Bai Yi doesn't trust You, but as a similar ability possessor, she worries You might be influenced by unknown powers.

She knows quite well the strength of her aura ability.

The aura's effect was so strong that it nearly became negative, giving Bai Yi a clear understanding of it.

But fortunately, at the moment, it doesn't seem to be any influence, just a coincidence...

For now, this altar is free from suspicion.

"No, even if there's currently no threat, it can't stay here any longer..."

Although this Clear Spring Altar still has considerable value due to its effects, it can't be entirely dismantled; however, since it has already displeased her, there's no need to keep it.

Regardless of the effects, causing her dissatisfaction is the original sin.

She immediately arranged online, ordering all Clear Spring Altars in the territory to be uniformly placed, like other altar buildings, for unified production and collection, forbidding arbitrary placements.

Anyway, the territory no longer urgently needs it as a water source.

What is needed is the Life Spring it produces, to serve as a material for potion refining, and it can be collected uniformly as a product.

With her direct order, even if the subordinate witch and Insect Swarm found the command puzzling, not understanding why Bai Yi suddenly wanted to relocate the Clear Spring Altar.

Even a rare clear instruction was seen this time, detailing where every Clear Spring Altar in every city, Floating Island, and Mechanical Ship Island needed to be moved to.

Completely different from the usually vague orders requiring Shang Ji for detailed arrangement.

But this time, Bai Yi's highest will showed its benefit; even if the command seemed odd, the subordinate groups faithfully executed it.

Moreover, Bai Yi's uncommon seriousness made it so that no one dared neglect anything, immediately springing into action.

Especially with all Clear Spring Altars in the three cities being relocated, unified shifting to a corner of the city, specifically serving as a Life Spring extraction point.

Confirming everything was proceeding normally, Bai Yi finally relaxed completely.

"Could this statue be Longevity?

In the intelligence from the starry forces, the description of Him also contains many parts about dragons...

But it can't be confirmed yet; those descriptions are only regarding His powers, declarations of those organizations and forces, and no one has truly seen Him.

Nevertheless, research on this Clear Spring Altar must be put on the agenda..."

Previously, the research focused only on those metal mineral types of altars, disregarding this integrated daily building.

This resulted in other altars being replaced, switched to creation arrays researched by the witches themselves, leaving the Clear Spring Altar as the last one.

But now, since it's been remembered, there's no reason to keep it around.

Although suspicion has been eliminated, Bai Yi did not allow the subordinate's free performance during this relocation, overseeing every altar's movement.

Ensuring every altar was properly placed, becoming a part of the previous altar's industrialized assembly line process, Bai Yi was finally reassured.

"Now that contact with other worlds and the starry sky is beginning, the opportunities to deal with these Gods might increase.

It seems necessary to find time for systematic understanding..."

Bai Yi resolved to temporarily set this idea aside.

Because just now, the array in another world was completed!

Consciously relying on the network, Bai Yi quickly located Ju, who was wandering on the outside front line.

"Ju, come back once, your ability is needed here."

Almost the second the message was sent out, a figure immediately appeared beside her, cautiously ensuring there was no accident, she asked.
