Chapter 723 - 399: Crimson Rite (Double-Length, Subscription Requested!)

Rogel withdrew his gaze from the Sun-Chasing Giant.

The assistance given to Vic has paid off.

Of course, for him, the greatest gain is not the Sun-Chasing Giant and Vic.

But the rich heritage of the entire Varesa Dynasty.

The Varesa Dynasty’s expertise in runes is enough to elevate the strength of the entire Black Tide Secret Society to a higher tier. The collision of many skills might spark new flames...

"Sharo, how is the construction progress of the Divine Altar?"

Black mist condensed, Rogel’s form manifested, and he inquired of Sharo.

Mephisto’s fall is inevitable.

High-tier deities with power have all received the world’s warning, all silently waiting for that most important opportunity.

Now both his main body and clone have reached the Demigod Tier.

However, to truly dominate everything, he must ascend to a True God when the time arrives.

The method of ascending to a True God is also simple—build the Ascension Ladder, ignite the True God’s flame.

Sounds simple enough.

However, as is widely known, the fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

Constructing the Ascension Ladder is not easy; it requires what can be called massive power.

If a demigod without a foundation of faith and insufficient strength lightly attempts to construct the Divine Tier, it’s very likely to fall in this irreversible process.

No one knows how much power the Ascension Ladder requires, so naturally, the more, the better.

However, if a high-tier existence can gather the power of the authority path they reside on, then it’s likely to be stable.

After all, without the limitations of the world’s evolution, achieving this would naturally allow one to ascend to a True God...

And this key point, Rogel knows, and so do other demigods.

The world’s evolution distinguishes neither good nor bad.

So, whether it’s the Mother Goddess, the Extreme Night Stars, or the dead deity in the coffin, or the beings waiting for revival in the Blood Sea... they all understand this.

Thus, gathering the power of one’s own authority path has become of utmost importance.

Knowledge and wisdom had once disclosed information about the path to him.

On the path of "Calamity and Destruction" of the main body, there are three demigods, and this is not good news.

In other words, if Rogel wants to take the conventional route as the main body, he must find the remaining two demigods on the same path and cause their artificial fall.

He doesn’t doubt his ability to do this, for with the support of three shells, his top-tier power is enough to crush most demigods.

But this really is splitting hairs.

One must know, Heisatan’s path of "Mystery and Fear" has no existing demigods, at least not in the Main World.

In other words, most of the authority power on the "Mystery and Fear" path is in an ownerless state.

This makes it very easy for Heisatan to gather this path’s power, only requiring a great amount of time and energy to gather and absorb it.

And once Mephisto completely falls, the restriction on ascending to a True God will be lifted.

At that time, time will be everything.

The [Divine Altar] is a method for gathering authority power created by Rogel, based on what he saw in Mephisto’s dreams and his own inference.

It can convert a large amount of Power of Faith into Rogel’s own power in a short time, and thereby guide the gathering of more authority power in the world.

And once the [Divine Altar] is constructed and successfully gathers the remaining authority power of the path, the Heisatan clone will become a solid source of power when Rogel ascends to the Divine Tier!

Therefore, the importance of the Divine Altar cannot be overstated.

However, the difficulty in its construction doesn’t lie in any grand or arduous building conditions but in having enough Anchor Point Divine Statues created by devout believers.

Otherwise, Rogel would have done it himself already, sparing extraordinary and believers from taking action!

"The Divine Altar has been completed, but the completion of the statues might still take some time."

Sharo also knows the importance of this matter and truthfully reported.

Hearing this, Rogel nodded slightly and then left.

The creation of the Anchor Point Divine Statues cannot be rushed because it requires the devout believers to carefully carve the image of the deity they believe in from their hearts.

If you hastily make a bunch of unfinished products, it will only affect the altar’s intended function.

...

The sea generally still maintains a surface-level peace.

But in some sea areas, massive tsunamis have already begun to brew...

Blood Sea, Blood Empire Imperial City.

The sky remains dark, and the blood-red sea appears to symbolize that everything is as usual.

Low-tier Blood Race on the island continues to live a life of hunger and numbness.

A grand and luxurious Duke-class ship slowly docked at the port, a clean red carpet with gold edges rolled out from a specially made gangway.

Yinluo’er, with a trace of barely noticeable arrogance in his eyes, stepped out from the ship in an extraordinarily luxurious Blood Race Duke’s suit.

Swoosh...

Scarlet bats assembled, automatically gathering under his feet, elevating his figure, slowly heading toward the Blood Empire Imperial City.

Shortly after his departure were a few guards and Hudson.

Facing Yinluo’er’s grand entrance, Hudson gazed calmly with silent disapproval in his eyes.

...Since you’re going to ride bats, pray tell, what use is the carpet?

Hudson, straightforward as he is, naturally doesn’t understand the purpose of "rites," only finding these cumbersome rituals meaningless.

He knows very well that Yinluo’er’s purpose for this trip is certainly not to act as a dutiful Blood Race Duke...

Thinking of this, Hudson tightened the hard, cold Black Tide Mark in his pocket, looked up at the Imperial City that blotted out the sky, and then turned to look behind.
