Chapter 427: Blood Sacrifice

"Furthermore, within the entire territory of Dongying, the worship of war criminals is no longer permitted; instead, you must go to the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall in Shenzhou every day to kneel, repent, and reflect on your own transgressions."

"In addition, Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands all belong to Shenzhou; your warships and fishing boats are not allowed to loiter in the vicinity of Diaoyu Island."

"These are the four points. Can you fulfill them?" Meng Yifan barked.

The negotiation representative, Koizumi Ichiro, was drenched in sweat. If he agreed to these four points from Meng Yifan, it would truly be a humiliation to the nation, and he, Koizumi Ichiro, would be nailed to the pillar of shame, forever reviled by millions of his countrymen. He had a lifetime of reputation, and he truly did not want to agree to such conditions.

However, if he did not agree to Meng Yifan's conditions, he would certainly not let the matter rest. With an attack power more terrifying than nuclear weapons, he alone could cause Dongying to perish as a nation and be wiped out as a people.

When others are the butcher's knife and you are the fish and meat, even if these four conditions were excessive, they had to be agreed to.

"Lord Meng Yifan, I represent the Dongying authorities and agree," Koizumi Ichiro said, feeling deeply aggrieved.

"Your rank is too low; can you represent Dongying? Have that short Commander of yours come over and sign the contract in person," Meng Yifan laughed.

Koizumi Ichiro's expression was ugly. The Commander held a supreme status in Dongying; having him come forward to sign such a humiliating contract would be a disgrace to all of Dongying.

"What? Too embarrassed to show your face, wanting to send some random stray cat or dog to fool me?" Meng Yifan gave a disdainful laugh, then stomped his right foot, and in an instant, the earth shook.

Within a radius of ten kilometers, it felt as if a magnitude-12 earthquake had erupted; the concrete road cracked, revealing bottomless canyons, and hundreds of high-rise buildings collapsed simultaneously. This single stomp from Meng Yifan was more terrifying than an atomic bomb explosion.

Just like that, Meng Yifan walked with his hands behind his back, as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard. Each step he took covered over ten kilometers, and with every step that landed, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, turning a ten-kilometer radius into ruins. If he kept walking like this, it wouldn't be long before the entire nation was destroyed by him. If he were allowed to circle the island, all of Dongying would be completely finished.

"Lord Meng, please temporarily extinguish your thunderous rage; do not destroy the city further or harm innocent civilians. I will contact the Commander immediately and have him come over as quickly as possible." Koizumi Ichiro was flustered and at a loss, hurriedly taking out his phone to report the situation to the Commander.

The short Commander had been watching Meng Yifan through video, and he was furious about the four conditions. He wanted to disregard everything and use every means to eliminate Meng Yifan, but even if all of Dongying were shattered like jade, it might not be enough to eliminate Meng Yifan, which made the Commander feel very distressed.

Facing Koizumi Ichiro's request for instructions, the Commander gritted his teeth and said, "Agree to him, I am coming over immediately."

Not long after, the short Commander arrived before Meng Yifan by helicopter and bowed respectfully. This scene was photographed and uploaded to the internet. When the people of Shenzhou saw this image, they were incredibly excited, and the whole country was in an uproar.

This scene was comparable to when Dongying announced its unconditional surrender back then, and Dongying Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Mamoru signed the instrument of surrender on the deck of the battleship Missouri.

This scene would surely be recorded in history and forever remembered in people's hearts.

The short Commander represented Dongying and signed the contract, accepting all four conditions proposed by Meng Yifan.

The subsequent details would be discussed between the Shenzhou authorities and the Dongying authorities; Meng Yifan would not concern himself with that. He believed Dongying would not dare to go back on their word, otherwise, Meng Yifan would not mind completely wiping out this sinful nation.

Before leaving, Meng Yifan walked into a Dongying arsenal and moved away many assault rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, hand grenades, armored vehicles, tanks, armed helicopters, and other weapons. The Dongying officials just watched from the side, not daring to let out a single fart, letting Meng Yifan take whatever he wanted.

Meng Yifan prepared to bring these weapons and equipment back to the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World to equip the soldiers of the Salvation Army.

"The Space Ring is too small; it can't hold much equipment. If I could open a passage to the Nine Systems World here, I could empty out Dongying's arsenal, and even move their missile silos over."

Thinking of this, Meng Yifan tried to connect to his Nine Systems World, only to discover that his Nine-System World Prototype was in a very distant place; he could sense the direction of the Nine Systems World.

However, with Meng Yifan's Sixth Grade High strength, he was still unable to cross space and open a passage.

"What a pity. Otherwise, if I could move away some weapon production lines and capture a batch of ordnance factory workers, I could produce weapons and equipment within the Nine Systems World."

Meng Yifan shook his head in disappointment, then formed a seal with his right hand, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, carrying him as he flew toward the direction of Shenzhou.

"That devil has finally left." The short Commander breathed a sigh of relief. After returning to the headquarters, he said viciously, "A disgrace, truly a supreme humiliation. Order the Onmyoji to perform a Blood Sacrifice and continuously call upon great gods like Susanoo."

"Hai!" The Commander's order was carried out.

Inside Mount Fuji, besides the constantly churning magma, there was a special area containing a shrine. Unlike other shrines, the central area of this shrine had a huge pit, and inside the pit was a platform where gods from Dongying myths and legends, such as Amaterasu and Susanoo, were worshipped.

At this moment, the Onmyoji Kamo no Yasunori, who possessed Fourth Grade High strength, was presiding over the Blood Sacrifice ceremony.

Kamo no Yasunori was the son of Kamo no Tadayuki. He already knew that his father had fallen. When Meng Yifan was slaughtering his way through Dongying, Kamo no Yasunori had also wanted to go out and fight to the death, but his father had sternly refused and used secret Onmyoji techniques to trap him, telling him to endure humiliation and not make a meaningless sacrifice.

Just like that, after Kamo no Tadayuki fell, the secret technique lost its effect, and Kamo no Yasunori broke free. Not long after, he saw through video the Dongying Commander humiliatingly bowing and saluting Meng Yifan, signing a treaty of surrender under the city walls.

At that moment, Kamo no Yasunori used a small knife to slash his own cheek and swore that if he did not avenge this, he would not be a man.

Upon receiving the Commander's order to perform the Blood Sacrifice and summon the great gods, Kamo no Yasunori began preparing for the Blood Sacrifice ritual without hesitation.

Blood Sacrifice, as the name implies, requires blood to offer as a sacrifice. This method was passed down from ancient times. Initially, it used the blood of oxen, horses, and sheep to sacrifice to the gods. Later, Onmyoji discovered that since humans are the spirits of all things, using human blood to sacrifice was more efficacious than the blood of the three sacrificial animals.

Thus, the lineage of Onmyoji switched to using human blood to sacrifice to the great gods.

"Begin." Following Kamo no Yasunori's order, countless Dongying commoners were brought into the shrine by fully armed soldiers. Like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they were pressed to the ground, their carotid arteries were cut, and their blood was allowed to flow into the Blood Pool of the shrine.
