Ye Zhongming definitely couldn't sacrifice Xia Bai. He quickly chose to deny it and then asked Xia Bai to exit the Sanctuary. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after the prompt disappeared.
What this thing was, Ye Zhongming wasn't clear. Saying it was a divine relic was pure nonsense. However, it was most likely something produced by the roulette, or belonged to the roulette system. Otherwise, how could there be prompts similar to artificial intelligence? How could the roulette's skills be upgraded?
If that was the case, then what the hell did it mean to treat Xia Bai as a sacrificial offering? Did this mean that as long as the attributes of human evolvers met the requirements, they could be sacrificed?
Faced with the strange situation earlier, the King of Cloud Summit was somewhat perplexed.
He glanced at the Holy Maiden, who was also looking at him with a face full of surprise, clearly unaware of what had just happened.
Was it useless for those in the Blue Secret Realm? Was it really so?
Ye Zhongming didn’t explain. The Holy Maiden seemed somewhat disappointed. She walked over to the Gate of Blessing, placing a hand on it, clearly trying to communicate with what she viewed as a miracle.
After watching for a while, Ye Zhongming noticed that the Holy Maiden showed no signs of stopping. He thought for a moment and opened the Key of the Secret Realm on the side. All the dark attribute weapons, equipment, and battle beasts he had collected from the Ogre Chain and elsewhere were moved here.
Due to the sheer volume of items, this process took several hours. Throughout this time, the Holy Maiden maintained her position, and it was unclear whether she had established any connection with the Gate of Blessing.
Once everything was moved, Ye Zhongming didn’t immediately close the space-time gate. After all, that ninth-level life had definitely locked onto their current position, and the difference between opening and closing wasn’t significant.
He first had Little Tiger come over to offer some dark attribute weapons and equipment as sacrifices, only to find that the Gate of Blessing didn’t respond at all.
Little Tiger looked at Ye Zhongming with a face that seemed to say he was better off dead. He clearly still wanted to gain some benefits but was kicked away by Liang Chuyin, who could no longer bear to watch.
Others also tried experimenting, but there was no response until… the twin sisters!
To be precise, it was the sister who had turned into a Silver Corpse!
Because of their shared intentions, Ye Zhongming could receive more precise feedback from the younger sister, Yaten. Similarly, Yani's actions and choices, which she couldn’t perform due to being a Silver Corpse, could be accomplished with her sister's assistance.
When Yaten brought the news that her sister could be sacrificed, everyone was astonished. In the end, Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan, who had come to watch the excitement, said that for some unknown reason, the Gate of Blessing seemed to be bound to Ye Zhongming. Only lives related to him could use the Gate of Blessing.
"That's right."
The Holy Maiden 'awoke,' and her face bore two trails of tears.
"The Gate of Blessing has been cursed by the Holy Father. It can no longer just bestow blessings on anyone who offers sacrifices. Now, it... can only remember you."
The Holy Maiden's gaze fell upon Ye Zhongming's face. "Perhaps it was something the Holy Father did when he left here, or perhaps your earlier sacrifices caused the Gate of Blessing to remember, but in any case, this is the current situation."
Seeing the sorrow on the woman's face, Ye Zhongming didn't think too much. This object was originally a sacred item of the Temple of Dawn, yet now it could only be used by Ye Zhongming. For the Holy Maiden, this was undoubtedly a huge irony.
Ye Zhongming fell silent for a moment, signaling to the twin sisters. The two little girls immediately began to place offerings into the Gate of Blessing.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t know the prompts, but Yaten would relay them verbatim.
