The Ascension Ritual of the Rotten, named "King of the Immortals".
The content of the ceremony is that seven immortals fight each other. In the end, the only person who survived will get the truth of "eternal life". A chance to become a real "immortal" god.
But the rotten man himself has already completed his advancement to God.
He just lacks the complete truth of "eternal life".
—The first immortal in this world is the rotting man himself.
And he's clearly not a fool... to make his own ceremony a wedding dress for someone else.
Therefore, the rotting man directly used the authority of the gods to monopolize the ritual of obtaining the curse of "eternal life".
The only way to obtain the curse of "eternal life" in the world today is to complete the ritual of the rotting man.
It is naturally impossible to obtain this special spell for "immortality" at the level of "rejuvenation". To become a true immortal, one must complete the highest ritual in the realm of the rotten man.
—There is no other ritual that can please the rotting husband more than the extinction of the royal family.
For example, "many sons kill each other", "kill the king and the lonely king", or "the lonely man has no offspring".
-Yes.
What the Kingdom of Noah is doing is a ritual of eternal life.
The former is to allow a king to survive in good health, let all his direct bloodlines fight each other and die together, and then let him accept the gift of a rotting man to become a "heavenly eunuch"; the second is to "make a royal direct bloodline Blood relatives kill the monarch and all brothers and sisters", and successfully rebelled and accepted the gift of the rotten man; the last one is to let a monarch succeed, all blood relatives are dead, and he has no descendants. Accept the boon of the rot.
The ceremonies of the first and third are relatively similar, but the first is for the descendants of the current king himself, and the third is for the descendants of the previous king.
No matter which ritual is completed, the king can get the powerful spell of "Eternal Life" and directly advance to around Silver.
Presumably, the rotten man will immediately turn his back on him and kill him directly.
On the one hand, it does not give this new immortal any chance to develop and compete with himself.
On the other hand... also for waste utilization.
After the Great Barrier was shattered, after a long "bloody battle"... In the world that humans can touch, there are only the last five countries left.
And the country where the rotten man held the first ceremony is the current "Twin Goddess Republic Federation", also known as the "Underground Federation".
The patron saints of this country are the Lady of Mystery and the Lady of Silence—two goddesses who are seldom found and whose whereabouts are always a mystery...not like the Silver Lord and the old grandmother who stay close to their country. This also directly led to the weak church power of the underground federation.
And one of the main countries of this federal state is the country that was ravaged by the rotten man and lost a whole generation of newborns and all the royal blood.
Although all the newborns born within seven years died due to the curse... A country lost half a generation, and lost all supernatural beings in an instant.
But there are also a large number of ordinary people... They desperately dug underground passages, and finally managed to move most of the young people and a small number of middle-aged and elderly people to the underground without fog before they died in large numbers due to the curse.
Their royal family has been completely dead.
Afraid of the rotten man who has become a god, they dare not elect a new monarch... Of course, it is also possible that some people who usually have authority among the people have found an opportunity, so they promote it like this.
In short, they formed the "Digger Council" and established a "country without a monarch".
And at this time, their protector, Lady Silence, who was a little too late to realize something was wrong, hurried back home.
She propped up the barrier again, but it was too late. Only bones and uninhabited ruins remained in the above-ground world.
Fortunately, she finally found the people who moved underground.
But they were unwilling to return to the earth.
Because some people think that after the Great Barrier is broken, the underground world is necessary for its existence... With the protection of the power of the gods, they can completely survive underground.
It might be a good thing to be the first to occupy this vast land that no one has ever realized.
The Lady of Silence strongly agrees with them.
So she invited the mysterious lady to help her, and carried out a large-scale transformation of the underground world.
Since then, every child born in the underground world has dark vision and can survive in a completely dark environment. They also got a lot of special "charms" crafted by the mysterious lady to help them build cities underground.
For example, moss that can glow stably in the dark and can be made into street lamps, food crops that can grow underground, and some livestock that can survive in the dark, clean groundwater and water-drawing utensils...
Soon, several small countries sheltered by the mysterious lady also got the news. After asking the goddess for her opinion, they also ran over quickly... The purpose was to avoid the "bloody battle".
Those losers who perished in the gray mist and failed to snatch the protection of the gods in the bloody battle also fled after hearing the news—fortunately, the underground world is very wide, and there is no invasion of gray fog, which can accommodate so many people.
So these losers, instead unite together. The "Twin Goddess Republic Federation" was established.
They do not establish a monarch, but are governed by a dual-parliament model of the "Digger's Council" and "Wise Men's Council".
After all, the underground world is wide enough. Today's underground federation can be called the country with the largest number of people.
The underground passages leading to the remaining four countries were all built under the auspices of the Underground Federation—
The Lady of Mystery is the "God of Secrets and Rituals". There are many wise men among her disciples, especially those who can create some very green-skinned technologies... such as underground rail trains that use gray fog as energy to drive.
Of course, if other countries want to use underground passages or other underground technologies, they will have to pay them high service fees. They don't want money, but fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and fiber products from the ground.
Because they are deep underground, there is no need to worry about the gray fog. After the underground federation began to operate normally, the two goddesses left again.
They are also the only country that does not have the protection of righteous gods almost all year round.
Although the seven righteous gods of Theocracy don't often stay in Tongtian Pagoda. But they will leave at least one or two housekeepers...
After all, people living in the Commonwealth live underground and do not need the protection of the Great Barrier—people in the above-ground world cannot adapt to the underground living environment without the transformation of the mysterious lady. The underground people also have sympathy for the above-ground world, and have a sense of superiority over the underground world.
The Underground Federation has no king.
The Theocracy dare not go.
The ritual of the rotten man seems simple, but he can only go back and forth between the United Kingdom, the Duke of Winter, and the Kingdom of Noah.
It has been hundreds of years since the rotten man became a god.
Annan has every reason to doubt...
His rites, may hardly advance at all.
Because when Annan read the history books, he had never heard of a similar situation happening in the Noah Kingdom before. Moreover, Yaweng, Sir Silver, and the old grandmother are all righteous gods who are not easy to provoke, and the rotten man may not be able to find a chance...
—That's why he looked for the Book of the Sky Chariot.
The ceremony of "King of the Immortals" has been blocked for hundreds of years, and was stuck to death by the three righteous gods.
It's entirely possible that the rot husband has given up on this ritual.
Now, He is just using this ceremony as a cover...
It's just hiding his plan to secretly collect the "Book of Skycart".
The player is the "immortal" and "no heir" person!
The Book of Cranes collected the first fragment, and the effect was to allow the player to "resurrect".
For the rotting man, this is the truth of "used to summon and control the eternal warriors from other worlds"!
It's no wonder he's staring at the Book of Skycar...
But in the tone of Mr. Bones, Annan vaguely noticed something...
—Skeletal Lord, it seems that he knows about this.
Whether it is the plan of the rotten man.
... Or Annan's possession of the Book of Skycart.
