Chapter 102
"Which deity is it? The scale of this sacrifice is likely already over a million; it can be called the greatest sacrifice in history."
"Is it the Three Pure Ones? Or the Jade Emperor?"
"With such a large scale for this sacrifice, how could the imperial court pass it? Did Doctor Wei not object?"
"This time, the imperial court not only didn't object, but was very proactive."
"I heard that in the imperial court, that deity revealed divine miracles, curing all illnesses of the Duke of Yi, Duke of Lu, Duke of E, Duke of Wei, and other military generals, restoring their youth."
"Why hasn't it started yet after so long?"
Because he didn't know if he could obtain Ye Hao's consent,
Li Shimin, although he notified all the commoners of Luoyangcheng and the nearby Guanzhong commoners to participate in the sacrifice,
did not specify which deity was being sacrificed to.
If Ye Hao didn't agree, today's sacrifice would be to Heaven.
Apart from Ye Hao, other ethereal deities were not qualified for him, Li Shimin, to hold such a grand and solemn sacrifice.
"Your Majesty, has that deity allowed us to sacrifice?"
At this moment, at the Chengtian Sect, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Shubao, Wei Zheng, and others gathered in front of Li Shimin, feeling incomparably nervous.
To ensure the sacrificial effect reached its best,
Li Shimin even had Wei Zheng consume a Blood Bodhi in the imperial court.
After seeing Wei Zheng consume the Blood Bodhi, his whole body radiated a crimson light, he floated in mid-air, and even lifted a hundred-jin giant rock with one hand.
Whether it was Li Shimin's trusted ministers or the officials of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans, all were envious.
Afterward, he had Qin Shubao, Li Jing, and others consume Blood Bodhi in the military camp.
It made countless soldiers bow and worship.
With the nobles, the great clans, and the military generals—these three most powerful forces of the Great Tang—believing in the divine miracle, there was no longer any obstacle in Luoyangcheng.
"I have received the divine oracle; the deity has allowed us to sacrifice."
"If we are pious enough, the deity will descend to our world."
Li Shimin said excitedly.
Empress Zhangsun had already told him about Ye Hao's supreme power in the Mythical World.
Covering the sky with one hand, making the Heavenly Dao fearful.
What a magnificent sense of power.
Therefore, in Li Shimin's eyes, and even in the eyes of some in the chat group,
there was no difference between Ye Hao and a true deity.
"Will the deity really descend to our world?"
"Do we have a chance to obtain divine grace?"
"I will definitely sacrifice piously, move the deity, and witness the true deity; even if I die immediately, I will have no regrets in this life."
"I hope we can witness the descent of the true god together."
Having received Li Shimin's affirmative answer, the civil and military officials were completely boiling, also incomparably excited.
If they obtained the deity's grace, they might also, like Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao, regain their youth.
Or even obtain immortality, transcending the mortal world.
"Let's set off!"
Li Shimin's expression was solemn, his voice resonant.
"Clang~", "Clang~", "Clang~"
Heavy, majestic, and mysterious music sounded.
Instantly, the civil and military officials quieted down, following behind Li Shimin, walking solemnly.
The entire Luoyangcheng, under this solemn and grave atmosphere, was also dyed with a sense of weight, gradually becoming quiet and sacred.
"Please don't fail!"
Li Shimin walked quickly; when he reached the Round Mound, his breathing became slow and heavy.
The Round Mound was built of rammed earth.
The walls and surface of the platform were smoothed with yellow mud.
It was nine meters high.
Four layers of circular platforms.
Each layer had twelve steps, evenly distributed around the circular platform, following the twelve earthly branches.
The three sacrificial animals were placed on the altar!
The five grains were placed around the altar!
Nine sticks of incense were placed in front of the platform!
Pieces of grand music were played!
"We can begin."
As the sun set, looking at the slightly dim sky, Li Shimin gave an order to a trusted aide.
"Hum~"
Immediately, in front of the Round Mound, a huge image was projected into mid-air.
It was the projector that Empress Zhangsun had previously traded with Qi Tongwei.
What was projected was the image of Ye Hao.
"The deity has revealed a miracle!"
Countless commoners trembled, kneeling on the ground one after another.
"Supreme, eternally immortal true god, please listen to my prayer!"
Li Shimin quietly turned on the switch of a speaker connected to his collar and prayed loudly.
Instantly, Li Shimin's voice could be clearly heard for several miles around the Round Mound.
"You are the supreme deity."
"You are the eternally immortal true god."
"Supreme high god, your miracles are my faith, your grace is my salvation, your oracle is my truth."
"Supreme high god, descend!"
The sacrificial text was very short and very simple.
This was so that ordinary commoners and the soldiers could also follow along and chant.
With Li Shimin's prior arrangements, more and more people joined the prayer team, over and over again.
The sound grew louder and louder, like rolling thunder exploding.
【Ding-dong! Ye Hao's activity level in the Great Tang has reached the requirement; World Channel permission opened.】
The chat group vibrated.
In the dark, Ye Hao also perceived a channel connecting to a world.
At the same time, above the Great Tang, with the prayers of the Great Tang people, the sky also changed.
A blurred channel appeared, connecting to the boundless void. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
