Teacher, can you activate the Holy Tower? "Jiang Yan asked Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan nodded slightly but didn't say a word. Instantly, the car fell silent again.
The Sanctum was no ordinary tower. It was a statue of a god that was more than a hundred meters tall. Its entire body was as white as jade, and it looked like a person with his arms outstretched towards the sky, praying to the heavens.
Legend had it that before Jing Daoxian charged into the League building to massacre, the statue emitted infinite holy light. The holy light could envelop the entire Holy City, and no matter how many powerful dimensional creatures there were, they were unable to rush into the holy light.
But now, although the statue was still white, it didn't have any holy light. It was just a majestic statue.
In front of the statue, there were many soldiers, officers, and inspectors. Among them, there were six people who stood out the most. They were four men and two women. If anyone knew them, they would definitely be shocked by their simultaneous appearance.
These four men and two women were the current leaders of the six families. They were members of the Senate, and when the six of them stood together, their power was even greater than the League President's.
After all, the League President's proposal had to be passed by the Senate before it could be implemented.
"Sir, Wang Mingyuan has been brought here." Even someone as domineering as Shen Yuchi had to be respectful in front of the six. He didn't dare show any signs of impropriety.
"Are you ready?" among the six, a woman who looked like a noble goddess asked indifferently.
"Everything is ready. Wang Mingyuan has already agreed to activate the Holy Tower," Shen Yuchi said.
"Very good. We've been waiting for this day for far too long. If Wang Mingyuan can really reactivate the Sanctum, then he'll be the greatest hero of our Federation. It's just a pity …" Another elegant middle-aged man said faintly, but he didn't finish his sentence.
"According to the information we obtained from him, the feasibility is indeed very high. However, there are one or two key points that our researchers haven't figured out. We need Wang Mingyuan to do it personally," a person who looked like a secretary said.
"Then let him go," the woman said indifferently.
"Yes," Shen Yuchi replied and got someone to bring Wang Mingyuan over.
When Wang Mingyuan passed by the six of them, the elegant man looked down at him and said, "Wang Mingyuan, after the Sacred Tower is reopened, we will pardon all your sins and give you a chance to start over. Make good use of this opportunity and don't waste the kindness of the lords."
"I will seize the opportunity." Wang Mingyuan wore shackles that were formed from a special Companion Beast. Even a Mythical creature would find it difficult to escape if they were shackled.
Under the escort of the inspectors, Zhou Wen and company followed Wang Mingyuan to the statue.
"Are those four youths Wang Mingyuan's students?" the elegant middle-aged man asked as he looked at the quartet beside Wang Mingyuan.
"Yes, one of them is related to the An family," Shen Yuchi said.
"During special times, the An family isn't an exception. To be able to sacrifice for the Federation, their deaths can be considered valuable. I believe the An family can understand." The elegant middle-aged man's casual words seemed to decide Zhou Wen and company's fate.
In front of the Sacred Tower, the shackled Wang Mingyuan stopped. He was standing in front of a stone tripod in front of the statue. Everyone's eyes were attracted to him. Even the six people who stood at the top of the Federation's power pyramid couldn't help but stare at Wang Mingyuan, hoping that he would do something.
Wang Mingyuan turned to look at the Federation official beside him and said, "The sacrificial ritual can begin. Follow the procedure. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me."
"If anything goes wrong, the first to die will be you." The official snorted coldly before looking at Shen Yuchi.
Seeing Shen Yuchi nod slightly, the official gave the order. A row of soldiers walked up and lined up in front of the stone tripod. Then, they cut their fingers and dripped a drop of blood into the stone tripod.
As more and more blood dripped into the stone tripod, the stone tripod began to burn. It was as though the blood was gasoline. The more blood dripped in, the more intense the flames in the stone tripod became.
The four men and two women revealed looks of delight. If the Holy Tower could really be reactivated, the safety of the Holy City would greatly increase. Even if all the dimensional zones lost their ability to end things in the future, the Holy Land would still be a paradise for humans. No dimensional creatures could rush in.
However, as more and more soldiers donated their blood, the flames in the stone tripod grew higher and higher. However, there were no other changes. The statue didn't emit any holy light.
Seeing that the last soldier had finished donating his blood and retreated from the altar, the official frowned and asked, "Wang Mingyuan, what should we do next?"
"Next, we need to pray sincerely," Wang Mingyuan said.
The official was slightly taken aback as he asked in puzzlement, "Is prayer useful?"
"If prayer was useful, there wouldn't be so many poor people in the world," Wang Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Are you kidding me?" The official was immediately enraged as he pointed at Wang Mingyuan and said, "It's best if you can activate the Holy Tower. Otherwise, I'll make you retreat and never be born in this world."
Wang Mingyuan suddenly moved and slammed into the official. The official's strength was very ordinary, and he was someone who often sat in an office. His combat ability was almost zero. Caught off guard by Wang Mingyuan's slam, he involuntarily retreated and slammed into the stone tripod. Immediately, he fell into the burning stone tripod.
The official's body immediately ignited as though he was on fire. He screamed and tried to crawl out, but it was as though a pair of hands were pulling him from the stone tripod, preventing him from crawling out no matter how hard he tried.
"Wang Mingyuan … What are you doing?" Shen Yuchi was enraged. All the soldiers and inspectors aimed their guns at Wang Mingyuan. As long as he gave the order, Wang Mingyuan would immediately be riddled with holes.
However, Wang Mingyuan ignored him and turned to look at the statue.
Shen Yuchi frowned and shouted a few more questions, but Wang Mingyuan ignored him. All he did was stand there and look up at the statue.
"Wait. Look at the statue." The noble woman stopped Shen Yuchi, who was about to personally deal with Wang Mingyuan, and pointed at the statue.
They saw a lustrous glow appear on the statue's hands. Although it wasn't very bright, it left them ecstatic. This was something they had never seen in all their years of studying the Holy Tower.
The official's screams in the flames gradually weakened, but the glow on the statue grew stronger. It wasn't just the hands. The entire statue emitted a holy glow, as though it was a true manifestation of a god.
Wang Mingyuan looked at the rising holy light with a strange expression on his face as he muttered to himself, "Of course, there must be sacrifices for a sacrifice."
The four of them were just inches away from him. When they saw the expression on Wang Mingyuan's face, they found him extremely unfamiliar. He was completely different from the Wang Mingyuan in their memories.
Shen Yuchi and the six high and mighty existences were filled with excitement at this moment. The light from the statue's hands shot into the sky, turning into a halo that spread in all directions, as if it wanted to turn the entire sky into a holy radiance.
All the citizens of Holy City saw this scene. Some of the older elders couldn't help but cheer. They still remembered the period when the holy glow enveloped Holy City. It was the most peaceful period of their lives.
