Zhao Fu didn't want to pay any more attention to the old man. He felt a little disgusted. A huge amount of demonic energy poured into the old man's body, easily controlling the old man's body, and began to read his memories.
Just now, he said that he knew a big secret. Zhao Fu was also curious about what that secret was.
After a while, Zhao Fu understood what the secret was.
This secret was that the old man knew that there was an unknown existence sealed in the Land of Darkness. This existence had a kind of power, and that was the power to make people gods. To be more precise, it was something similar to gods.
And the power this thing possessed could not be compared to a true god, but it had some kind of ability that gods could weaken by many times.
They had existed here for hundreds of years. They had plenty of food and clothing here. There were no wild beast attacks, no natural disasters, and their lifespans had also increased. It could be said to be a paradise.
However, this paradise, the beautiful and peaceful scene on the surface, was built under bloody and cruel methods.
Because they had mastered the method to become similar to divine power.
This method was to capture a girl under the age of 18 every ten years, and she must still be a virgin.
Then, dig out the girl's eyes, cut off her ears, and cut off her nose. Then, sew her mouth with a needle and thread, and insert two corks into the girl's ears to block the two ear holes. Normally, the corks would be inserted very deeply, directly puncturing the eardrums, turning the girl into a deaf person.
After doing all of this, he had to ensure that the girl was conscious and would not die.
This would make the girl clearly experience intense pain, but it was not over yet. Next, they would cut off the girl's hands and feet and help her stop the bleeding to prevent her from bleeding to death.
Finally, he dug a large pit in the ground of the village, buried the girl in it, and licked the soil he had brought back from the Land of Darkness.
What he had to pay attention to was that he had to bury the girl alive and not let the girl die.
They would bury the girl underground and then insert two tubes into her nostrils to provide her with air to breathe.
For this, a small tree would be planted on it, and the small tree must also be a tree from the Land of Darkness.
When the girl was buried in the ground, she would endure countless pains and die with a strong resentment. Under the nourishment of the Land of Darkness, a strange divine power would be formed and fuse into the small tree planted on it.
The small tree absorbed that strange God Power and became a big tree that emitted that strange God Power to protect the village.
Therefore, there were no attacks from wild beasts in that village. They had a bountiful harvest and lived a carefree life. The villagers were naturally happy and healthy.
Originally, the old man would only say that the Land of Darkness had this ability, and would never say what they had done. If Zhao Fu hadn't read the old man's memories, he would never have known what they had done.
The villagers knew what had caused the current situation. It wasn't like they didn't know anything about it.
Because of the cruelty of the method, the young women had to endure intense pain. Naturally, no one in the village would offer their own women as sacrifices, so they would usually find young women from other villages.
Some were sold from other places, some were cheated, and some were directly snatched.
This kind of thing had been going on for hundreds of years, but recently, there was a change, and it was this change that led to the current situation.
…
In order to maintain the peace and prosperity of the village, the villagers followed the method passed down by their ancestors and continued to capture young girls as sacrifices.
However, because of an accident, the young girl that had been captured from another village died and could no longer be used as a sacrifice, because the sacrifice required a fresh life.
Everyone had no choice but to continue searching for suitable young girls. They had enjoyed the protection of divine power for hundreds of years, and they didn't want it to be broken in this year, nor did they want their peaceful and prosperous life to be broken.
At this time, a family came to join the village.
There were a total of four people in this family. There was a father, a mother, an elder sister, and a younger brother.
The elder sister was just seventeen years old. She was good-looking and also a virgin. She was very suitable as a sacrifice.
The villagers happily accepted the sacrifice that had been delivered to their doorstep. It was impossible for them not to attack her.
The villagers pretended to welcome the family and even prepared a room for them to settle down. When the deadline was up, the villagers rushed into the house and arrested the family of four.
The family of four still didn't understand what was going on. Why did the villagers who were usually friendly and gentle to them now become so ferocious and terrifying, like demons?
The villagers naturally didn't want to explain anything and directly brought the family to the side of the divine tree.
There was not just one divine tree but 32 of them, which represented 320 years. All of the trees were very thick and had lush leaves. The trunks were black and the leaves were white, and they gave off a strange and dark aura.
The elder in front of Zhao Fu was the Village Chief from before. He tied the young girl to the divine tree and planned to dig out her eyes, nose, and ears.
At that moment, an old scholar said that the more hatred a young girl had, the more divine power she would give off. Everyone wanted more divine power so that they would receive more benefits.
Everyone quickly thought of a way to increase the young girl's hatred, which was her family.
The villagers stripped off the clothes of the young girl's father, mother, and little brother before tying them to a pillar and placing them in front of the young girl.
Following this, they used all sorts of cruel methods to torture the three of them.
For example, they used red-hot iron to brand the three people's bodies. When the hot iron touched their bodies, it sizzled and gave off white smoke.
They also used small knives to cut off pieces of flesh from the three people's bodies and sprinkled a large amount of salt on them.
Then, he used pliers to pull out the teeth of the three people one by one. Then, he pulled out the fingernails of their fingers and toes. Finally, he used pliers to pull out the fingers and toes one by one.
The scene was incredibly bloody and cruel, and the young girl's parents and little brother continuously gave off pitiful cries, causing people's minds to ache.
The surrounding villagers did not feel any pity or sympathy when they saw this scene, and they instead looked at the young girl with anticipation and excitement.
The young girl was tied to the tree, and seeing her parents and little brother being treated like this, she looked incredibly savage. Tears continuously flowed out of her eyes as she madly howled like a beast that had lost its mind.
The villagers all smiled; this was the effect they wanted. Seeing how hateful the young girl was, this year's divine power would definitely be more powerful than before. When that time came, everyone's lifespans would increase, and the crops in the fields would increase.
