Chapter 3702 Discussion
Regin quickly composed himself, turned to look at Xavier, and gave him a subtle look.
Xavier noticed Regin's gaze and sighed inwardly.
have to.
So you want him to take the blame again?
Xavier took a deep breath and said, "I misjudged the situation and suggested to the island lord that we postpone the activation of the deity statue. I apologize to both of you. At present, the pseudo-god fleet is approaching the main island. Time is of the essence. I implore you to put the overall situation first and lend a hand. After this is over, the Island of Sea God will do its best to compensate you."
Lyanna didn't speak, but glanced at Fang Heng out of the corner of her eye.
Fang Heng felt that the pressure he had put on the task was enough, and nodded almost imperceptibly.
Lyanna then said, "Alright, we accept."
“Alright!” Regin immediately said, “Xavier, you will accompany Lyanna’s attendant to awaken the deity immediately. You will have full authority to allocate all the resources and manpower needed for the Island of the Sea God. You must successfully activate the power of the deity before the false god arrives.”
"Yes!"
Lyanna asked, "How much time do we have left?"
"The false god's fleet made a brief stop, probably to clean up the mess. It should set off again soon. Optimistically, we have about eight hours left."
Fang Heng immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's too late. Time is too tight. It's impossible to follow the original ritual process step by step. The entire summoning ritual process, the allocation of priests, and even the control of the deity statues—all of these must be handed over to us. Only in this way can we have a chance to complete the summoning within eight hours."
Upon hearing this, Lei Jin frowned deeply once again.
Has control over all the statues of deities been transferred?
Is there some kind of trap involved?
Should we agree to their request?
Regin thought for a moment, then looked at Xavier with a questioning gaze.
Xavier felt the island lord's gaze.
The scene of his previous battle with the false god's followers instantly flashed through his mind.
Fang Heng's attack from thousands of meters away was something he would never forget.
He didn't even get a clear look at the true form of the body during that attack; his confidant's body was instantly shattered and burned to ashes in the aftershocks of the attack.
He was only grazed by the attack and yet he ended up in this severely injured state.
Don't hesitate.
They're out of time!
Xavier nodded slightly, indicating that the island owner agreed to the plan.
Regin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll follow your arrangements. Xavier, you'll cooperate with them."
"Yes!"
Fang Heng looked at Xavier and asked, "Where is the statue of the god? Time is of the essence. I need to set up a magic circle ritual on the island immediately, and I also need followers. I need at least a thousand followers..."
“I understand.” Xavier nodded solemnly and said, “I have already arranged the venue for the ceremony. I will have someone take you there immediately, and the statue of the deity will also be sent to the ceremony site right away.”
Upon leaving the temple, a high priest led the way.
Fang Heng and Lyanna followed side by side at the back.
Lyanna lowered her voice and warned, "Your Majesty, Regin cannot be trusted entirely. Be careful that he doesn't secretly tamper with the ceremony."
"Ok, I know."
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
He could sense that beneath Regin's outward submissiveness, a surge of anger was brewing, and while the greed had only slightly diminished, it had not completely dissipated.
……
the other side.
Inside the central temple, Regin watched Fang Heng and Lyanna's figures disappear at the end of the corridor and said, "Xavier, they can lead the ritual, but after the ritual, the statues of the gods must not be controlled by them. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xavier took a deep breath.
If the divine statue is successfully awakened, then controlling it will no longer require the help of Lyanna and her companion; they can seize control themselves.
only……
Xavier felt uneasy.
Is it really that easy?
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to give it a try!
Xavier stopped thinking about it and nodded, saying, "Understood."
“Very good. Once the divine statue is fully awakened, immediately retrieve it. Also, I want you to keep a close eye on Lyanna’s every move during the ritual, and report anything that seems amiss immediately.”
"Yes!"
Regin paused, then suddenly asked another question.
"And that young man... what do you think his background is?"
Xavier remained silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"But I am certain of one thing: he is definitely not an ordinary assistant."
Reijin nodded slightly.
Judging from some details of their behavior, they felt that Lyanna was more like the assistant.
"Please rest assured, Island Lord, your subordinate will absolutely not allow the statue of the deity to fall into the hands of outsiders."
……
Five hours later.
It was evening.
A bugle call came from the direction of the port.
The reinforcement priest teams from the other two main islands arrived at the Eternal Night Tide dock one after another.
Fang Heng stood on the high platform of the sacrificial site, looking towards the port in the distance.
One medium-sized ship after another docked, and people dressed in priestly robes of different colors filed off.
The priest of the natural sea wears a green robe.
The one in the grey robe from the raging sea.
The quantity is sufficient.
But the priests didn't look too happy.
As they set foot on the island, they looked at the priests of the Eternal Night Tide who had come to meet them, their eyes filled with undisguised mockery.
The reason is not hard to guess.
The allied forces were completely wiped out, and the elite divine servants of the two main islands were all killed. Only the Tide of Eternal Night managed to escape unscathed.
Everyone can see the intricacies of this matter clearly.
When the news reached back, the owners of the other two main islands were furious.
Lei Jin went to great lengths to persuade the two islands to send reinforcements, and also lost a lot of resources. In addition, Fang Heng had indeed frightened the people of the three main islands this time. The two main islands were worried about becoming the next target of the false god, so they could only hope that the god-level deity statue could stop the false god's fleet and gritted their teeth to send reinforcements.
Xavier, who was in charge of receiving the believers, had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to greet them, guiding them into the sacrificial site. “You have come from afar and have had a hard time. Time is of the essence. I will take you to the sacrificial site immediately and begin the ritual to awaken the gods as soon as possible.”
"Hmph! Lead the way."
The group snorted coldly and followed Xavier into the sacrificial site with grim faces.
The sacrificial site is located on a huge flat area carved out at the top of the mountain. Layer upon layer of stone steps extend from the foot of the mountain to the high platform ceremonial area, and each platform between the stone steps is filled with priests.
The priests on the island, under Lyanna's command, have taken their positions and are ready to act at any time.
When Xavier led his men to the ritual platform, a layer of fine magic runes had appeared on the stone slab beneath their feet, with a halo of light flowing within the runes.
Huh?
Xavier couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
In just a few hours, the entire ritual site was covered with a dense layer of magic circles.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this magic circle.
only……
The magic circles used in the awakening rituals of previous god-level statues didn't need to be this complicated, right? (End of Chapter)
