This underground altar, which had been burning and rumbling in the depths of the earth and had not been known to outsiders for many years, seemed to have long been in ruins. Although the surrounding lava river was very grand, but the things on the black boulder had long been mottled and peeled off over the years.
There were cracks all over the five black stone pillars, and there were even gaps in many places. Other than that, Lu Chen didn't see anything like the legendary Fire God's statue on the black boulder.
It was called an altar, but there wasn't even a statue of the God?
This seemed a little unusual, or perhaps the customs of the Barbarians were different from those of the Northern Human Race?
Lu Chen asked Huo Yan this question in his heart, but Huo Yan did not know. He only said that when he came here, the Fire God Altar was already like this. But at the same time, Huo Yan confidently told Lu Chen that there was not much difference between the Barbarians and the Human Race when it came to worshiping the Gods. It could even be said that most of the time, the Barbarians actually respected and worshiped the Gods more than the Human Race, so their ceremonies were more solemn.
Usually, on an altar, there would be a statue of a deity that was enshrined.
At this point, Huo Yan's expression became a little strange, and he looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said helplessly, "Or was it passed down from the earliest ancestors of your Black Fire Tribe?"
"Yes."
Lu Chen thought for a moment, and said, "Then in your tribe, what does the supreme Fire God look like?"
Huo Yan's face immediately revealed a look of reverence. He gestured in the air with his hand and said, "It is a gigantic ball of scorching flames. It is the first ball of fire that was born at the beginning of the world, the ancestor of all flames."
Lu Chen frowned, and asked, "It is a flame?"
Huo Yan nodded his head heavily. Suddenly, as if he had come to a sudden realization, he clapped his hands together and said excitedly, "I know! This place is filled with lava and raging flames, like a disaster. Flames are everywhere, isn't this the incarnation of the Fire God? It is basically omnipresent, so why bother to erect a statue of a god? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yan's face was filled with excitement. Waving his hand at Lu Chen, he quickly walked to the center of the five black pillars and knelt down.
Lu Chen walked over slowly, but his eyes were constantly looking around.
As far as he was concerned, he still had some doubts about the existence of the Fire God. Naturally, he did not have any faith or reverence. When he walked to the center of the altar, he did not even have the intention to kneel.
However, this was not an ordinary place after all. It was a place where gods were worshiped. In addition, the Blackfire tribe was once powerful for a period of time, and even had many powerful shamans. Therefore, Lu Chen had to be careful in secret.
Huo Yan kowtowed a few times on the ground, praying and chanting. But after waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement in the surroundings. He hurriedly looked back, and his face was filled with anger and anxiety. He reached out and pulled on Lu Chen's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Quickly kneel down and worship the Fire God!"
"..." Lu Chen was speechless. Just as he was about to retort, he sighed in his heart when he saw Huo Yan's expression. In the end, he still knelt down and imitated Huo Yan's previous actions. He actually began to kowtow.
He was a shadow that had lived in the darkness since he was young. Apart from the agreement he had with Lord Tian Lan in the depths of his heart, Lu Chen did not have much faith in the first half of his life.
Or it could be said that Lu Chen was actually not sure whether there were gods in this world.
Since he had no faith, he naturally did not have any persistence. In the past, when he was a spy in the Evil Cult, he had knelt many times, including to his Master and the Evil Cult's God. Apart from the devoutness on the surface, he had always been sneering in the depths of his heart.
He coldly looked at the world, looked at human feelings, looked at all gods and ghosts, and had no faith. On this day, when he knelt down in front of the altar that was surrounded by burning flames, for some reason, Lu Chen suddenly seemed to see through himself.
What kind of person was this?
He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and there was some confusion in the depths of his eyes.
…
The same resolute and devoutness of faith that had deceived the world's most cunning and treacherous Evil Cult members ten years ago, right now, in front of a barbarian like Huo Yan, Lu Chen's performance could be said to be flawless.
Even Lu Chen's performance was too perfect, and even Huo Yan himself was stunned. He did not dare to believe it. Not long ago, this person was still suspicious of the Fire God, but right now, he had suddenly become so devout. The change was really too great.
But no matter what, this was the time to worship the God at the Fire God Altar, devoutness was much better than arrogance and rudeness. Therefore, Huo Yan felt even more gratified, turned around and continued to kowtow.
The two of them faced the empty Fire God Altar and worshipped for a long time. The surrounding magma surged and flowed, and there were five black stone pillars standing majestically, but other than that, there was no other movement.
Huo Yan raised his head in puzzlement, and looked around. At the same time, Lu Chen's voice came from behind, asking, "When you came here to worship before, was it also like this?"
Huo Yan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes. Because our ancestors said, the Fire God has always only responded to the prayers of priests or shamans. No matter how devout we barbarian warriors are, because we don't have that spiritual power, the Fire God will not pay attention to us. "
As he said this, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he looked at Lu Chen, saying, "You … have the spiritual power of the Fire God in your body, the same origin and the same kind. If you are really our priest, the Fire God will definitely respond to you."
At this moment, there was already some sharpness within Huo Yan's eyes. However, Lu Chen did not panic. After musing for a moment, he stood up and extended his hand to touch his chest. A faint light flashed and the half of the Fire God's Staff once again appeared in his hand.
Seeing the appearance of the Fire God Staff, Huo Yan's face suddenly showed some excitement, and he stood up immediately.
Lu Chen waved his hand at him, indicating that he should not be excited. At the same time, he stood to the side, and then walked alone to the center of the five black stone pillars. He looked around with a solemn expression, but in his heart, he sneered.
Then, he suddenly raised the half of the Fire God Staff high above his head, and both of his hands tightly grasped the staff. At the same time, he seemed to be mumbling something, but in reality, he was just randomly humming a few times.
But unexpectedly, in his eyes, a black flame suddenly appeared, and a dark and powerful aura suddenly gushed out from his body.
With a "hu" sound, the black flame emerged from Lu Chen's body, swaying and dancing wildly, burning, but completely ignoring his clothes.
And almost at the same time, the Fire God Staff in Lu Chen's hand suddenly lit up. The light was dazzling, as if a scorching sun had suddenly lit up in the depths of the earth, emitting a radiance that was tens of thousands of feet long.
All kinds of twisted, strange runes, flashed and lit up on the Fire God Staff. A majestic and ancient aura, far more majestic than before, suddenly emitted from the ancient staff!
Huo Yan, who was standing outside of the five black stone pillars, for a moment could not look directly at the dazzling light, and subconsciously used his hands to cover his eyes. But after a moment, he suddenly heard a deafening roar coming from behind him. At the same time, the huge black stone under his feet also began to shake and tremble.
His footing was unstable, and the sky and earth were spinning. The tens of thousands of feet of light were dazzling, and there was even the sound of a surging tide. It was as if the depths of the earth had suddenly boiled.
When Huo Yan turned around in shock, he saw that in this huge underground cavern, the lava river that originally seemed to have calmly flowed for thousands of years, had completely changed.
The scorching and terrifying red lava, roared and roared, as if it was boiling. Wave after wave surged up, the waves rising higher and higher, and gradually began to overflow the black stones, submerging them one by one.
The huge black stone where the Fire God Altar was located was the highest point, but countless amounts of lava rushed over from all directions, crazily hitting the huge stone. The huge black stone began to shake violently.
Huo Yan stood on top, almost unable to stand steadily. His entire face was pale with fright. Behind him, the person holding the Fire God's Staff seemed to be oblivious to the increasingly dangerous situation outside, as if a disaster was about to befall them.
He only held the staff in his hand, looking up at the sky.
In the depths of the brilliance, under the shadow of the strong light, at that moment, Lu Chen's mind suddenly recalled that day in the wilderness of the Land of Chaos, the last words of the dying old Barbarian priest.
Bring the Fire God Staff back to the Southern Wilderness, bring it back to the Fire God Altar, bring it back to the Fire God's side!
He originally thought that this was the most ridiculous thing in the world, and also the most impossible thing to achieve. But in the unseen world, after a few turns, he suddenly discovered that he was actually standing here...
Could it be that there really was a deity in this world, that the Fire God really existed?
He stared at the depths of the distant shadow outside the brilliant flames, remained silent, and then suddenly raised the Fire God Staff, heavily knocked on the huge black stone, right in the middle of the altar.
[Boom!]
The entire underground cave instantly shook, all the lava in that instant soared into the sky, a terrifying and suffocating scorching feeling was about to drown everything, until a beam of light shone in from the side of the huge black stone.
Under the huge lava whirlpool, a ray of brilliance rose up, a magnificent roar resounded throughout the underground, like an ancient elegy recounting the sad past.
In the depths of the brilliance, half of the staff was surrounded by raging flames, burning, emitting thousands of rays of brilliance. It curled up from the lava whirlpool, rose all the way to the peak of the lava, and then flew towards the Fire God Altar.
Lu Chen silently looked at the flying staff, suddenly threw out the half of the Fire God Staff in his hand. The two staffs converged in mid-air with a loud bang, the fiery light suddenly flourished, magma danced wildly all around, crazily surging up to the dome, but only the huge rock of the altar was not tainted in the slightest.
After a moment, the light dissipated, the two staffs in mid-air had already converged into one, and then flew downwards, a buzzing sound was heard, directly piercing into the incomparably hard black stone!
