"I heard that the Charlotte Family has a True Spirit Magic Tool that has been passed down for a millennium. It's called the Thousand Souls Sacrifice. I wonder if that's true?"
"You, you, you …" Lin Yun's question was very ordinary, but Hanson looked as if he had seen a ghost. His face turned deathly pale as he slowly retreated. He looked at Lin Yun with alarm and fear. "How did you know!?"
"Hmm?" Lin Yun froze for a moment before remembering that he had remembered the wrong time. The Thousand Souls Sacrifice had yet to be known in this era.
This was a secret of the Charlotte Family that had been hidden for a millennium.
It would take a hundred years before the power of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice would shock all of Noscent.
But it would be as an Augment.
"Impossible, impossible …" Hanson didn't know about this. When Lin Yun mentioned the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, Hanson thoroughly lost his composure. He was scared silly as he kept repeating, "Impossible, impossible, impossible …"
It was no wonder that Hanson was scared like that.
After all, the existence of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice could be said to be one of the Charlotte Family's greatest secrets. The Charlotte Family had obtained this powerful True Spirit Magic Tool a millennium ago.
But the Thousand Souls Sacrifice didn't bring any benefits to the Charlotte Family.
This sounded inconceivable.
A True Spirit Magic Tool had the power of an Archmage. Even in the hands of an ordinary person, it could display frightening power. How could such a powerful True Spirit Magic Tool not have any benefits in the hands of the Charlotte Family?
However, Hanson Charlotte knew that this was the truth …
Because the Charlotte Family had been thinking of ways to satisfy that sinister Magic Tool Incarnation for a millennium.
Only those who had seen that True Spirit Magic Tool knew how evil that Incarnation was. Almost everyone in the Charlotte Family was regretting and cursing. They regretted provoking that evil Magic Tool Incarnation and cursed that damned monster to go to Hell as soon as possible.
Hanson Charlotte became a High Mage at the age of fifty and was qualified to enter the core of the Charlotte Family. It was also at that time that Hanson Charlotte came in contact with the Thousand Souls Sacrifice for the first time and saw that sinister Magic Tool Incarnation with his own eyes.
Hanson Charlotte still remembered it to this day …
When he entered the Charlotte Family's Ancestral Land, the ground was covered in bones and blood. The smell of blood in the air seemed to have solidified.
Then, Hanson Charlotte saw a monster emitting the smell of sulfur and blood. Amidst the bones and blood, the monster revealed a sinister smile.
At that time, Hanson Charlotte had been scared silly …
After a few dozen years, Hanson Charlotte couldn't remember how he sacrificed himself to that monster or how he left the Ancestral Land covered in bones and blood.
Hanson Charlotte could only remember that the monster was very satisfied with its sacrifice. Amidst the blood and bones, it let out a joyful and sinister laugh …
Later, as Hanson Charlotte became more and more powerful, his status in the Charlotte Family also rose higher and higher, and Hanson Charlotte gradually gained the qualifications to participate in top secrets.
At that time, Hanson Charlotte knew that this terrifying monster was the Incarnation of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice. As early as a millennium ago, that sinister Incarnation had signed a contract with the Charlotte Family's ancestor. It agreed to serve the descendants of the Charlotte Family at a suitable time, but in exchange, the descendants of the Charlotte Family had to keep sacrificing fresh flesh for it.
For a millennium, that sinister Magic Tool Incarnation was like a black hole that could never be filled. In order to satisfy its desires, the Charlotte Family used every method possible, especially when Santon Merlin appeared and the Charlotte Family was in dire straits. That sinister Magic Tool Incarnation truly became the Charlotte Family's deepest nightmare.
At that time, the Charlotte Family couldn't even look after themselves, they simply couldn't get enough fresh flesh. After three times in a row, the sinister Incarnation was thoroughly enraged and set off a reign of terror in the Charlotte Family's Ancestral Land, almost flipping the entire Ancestral Land upside down.
In the end, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family appeared and personally entered the Ancestral Land to have a long talk with that monster. No one knew the contents of that talk, they only knew that when the Patriarch left the Ancestral Land, he seemed to have aged a few decades. He then locked himself in his room for an entire night, and when he opened the door the next day, half of his hair had turned white.
Then, the Patriarch gave an order that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Tens of thousands of branch family members of the Charlotte Family were summoned back. They were told that they would have a rare opportunity to enter the Ancestral Land of the Charlotte Family and receive the Ancestor's Baptism. If they were lucky, they would obtain the purest Charlotte Family bloodline after the Baptism.
Then …
There was no then.
Tens of thousands of branch members of the Charlotte Family never came out after entering the Ancestral Land.
The next day, the cleaning servant opened the door to the Patriarch's room and saw him lying in a pool of blood. That was the first Patriarch to commit suicide in the history of the Charlotte Family.
From then on, the entire Charlotte Family regarded the Thousand Souls Sacrifice as a top secret. Unless one truly entered the core of the Charlotte Family, no one would ever learn of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice's existence.
Hanson always thought that this was a secret unique to the Charlotte Family, but he hadn't expected that it would be exposed by Lin Yun.
The shock he felt at that moment could be imagined.
The first thought that appeared in Hanson's mind was that it was over. The Merlin Family already knew of the existence of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice.
But then, Hanson realized that something was wrong. The Merlin Family couldn't know of the existence of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice. Otherwise, the Merlin Family would have had many opportunities to consign the Charlotte Family to eternal damnation.
Even if he had some private tutelage with Ofran, for the sake of the Family's interests, he would have unhesitatingly snatched the Star Gem, while Ofran would have unhesitatingly targeted the Charlotte Family. This was a war between Families, just like what happened with Santon Merlin in the past. Once he reached the Heaven Rank, even if the Charlotte Family submitted, Santon Merlin would still unhesitantly destroy the Charlotte Family's power and make that millennial Family fall to the level of a 3rd rate force.
Was this because of the irreconcilable enmity between Santon Merlin and the Charlotte Family? Of course not, this was only because the Charlotte Family was blocking the path of the Merlin Family. If a Heaven Rank powerhouse had appeared in the Charlotte Family, they would have treated the Merlin Family the same way.
But if it wasn't because the Merlin Family already knew of the existence of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, then why?
'How could this young High Mage in his twenties know so much?'
"Haha, do you want to ask me why I know about the Thousand Souls Sacrifice? Sorry, this is a secret that can't be said … "Lin Yun smiled. This was indeed a secret that couldn't be said. Nothing could be done about it, Lin Yun couldn't tell Hanson that he only knew about the existence of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice because he came from 30,000 years in the future.
Only Lin Yun, who came from 30,000 years in the future, knew that the Charlotte Family would be consigned to eternal damnation a hundred years later. At that time, the Charlotte Family would finally sacrifice enough fresh flesh, and everyone would be wild with joy, thinking that the Charlotte Family would finally be able to use the power of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice.
But they simply didn't know …
The power of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice wasn't something they could control. After obtaining enough fresh flesh, the Thousand Souls Sacrifice would become a terrifying monster. It would reach the peak of the True Spirit realm, crazy and bloodthirsty. The first thing the Thousand Souls Sacrifice did after leaving the Ancestral Land was heavily injuring the Merlin Family.
After heavily injuring their old enemy, the Charlotte Family was overjoyed and held a grand celebration in Okland that lasted for three days and three nights. Then, during that celebration, the Thousand Souls Sacrifice suddenly broke free of control and turned the celebration into a funeral. The elites of the Charlotte Family died in one night.
When someone walked into the square the next day, they only saw severed limbs and broken bones everywhere. Fresh blood flowed on the square, dyeing the ground scarlet. A monster was laughing heartily in the midst of the severed limbs and broken bones, opening its mouth wide and chewing …
What a horrifying scene it was …
From that day onwards, the Thousand Souls Sacrifice wreaked havoc in Okland, creating countless tragedies and devouring countless lives. This was a huge disaster for all of Okland. After an entire decade, a Heaven Rank powerhouse rose up in the Cloud Tower and caught traces of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice in the Aurij Mountains. After a great battle, the Thousand Souls Sacrifice's incarnation was thoroughly destroyed and the Magic Tool itself was brought back to the Cloud Tower.
After a few years, that Heaven Rank powerhouse mastered the Black Death Rune. At that time, the Black Death Rune was completely different from the one Lin Yun had seen. The biggest difference was that it was a Peak True Spirit Augment.
That Peak True Spirit Augment had incomparably frightening power. In battle after battle, it displayed extraordinary power and followed that Heaven Rank powerhouse to conquer one plane after another, making the Cloud Tower's name once again resound throughout Noscent.
After thousands of years, people finally learned that the True Spirit Augment attached to the Black Death Rune was the Thousand Souls Sacrifice.
