I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 914. Demon God's Minions
Seeing that Mu Qingtong did not respond, Xia Feng had no choice but to look around and observe the sacred ritual.

He vaguely understood that the star map constructed from time-soil particles was a clock, with the second hand ticking away.

When the hour, minute, and second hands align due north, the ceremony is estimated to be successful!

"Little Carp, do you understand how this sacred ritual works? How do you break it?"

He paused for a moment, as if observing, and then two seconds later, the woman's earnest explanation rang out, "The Three Laws of the Holy Trinity: This type of formation generally requires three points to be activated simultaneously, and destroying it naturally requires destroying all three points at the same time. However, since it's merely a divine relic, it has significant flaws, so destroying two formation points simultaneously will completely dispel the ritual."

Listening to Yue Hongli's explanation, Xia Feng fell into deep thought.

Shi Li had previously stated that the Sacred Ritual was performed simultaneously in the Star, Gray, and Present Realms.

The identity of the person in charge of the astral rituals remains unknown.

However, the dominant figure in the Gray Realm is most likely Zhou Yin, the Lord of the Holy Star Court.

Once the sacred rituals of the three realms are simultaneously formed and reach the same frequency, a sacred star strike can be launched at a designated point in spacetime, which is unavoidable.

In other words, to destroy the Sacred Ritual, both the Realm of the Existence and the Ashes would need to simultaneously remove the Time Soil within it.

However, the problem now is that even if Miss Mu also enters the core of the sacred ritual in the Gray Realm, she will be unable to take away the Time Soil, just like him.

As Xia Feng pondered, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Was Miss Mu truly doomed?
Although evil deeds are said to last a thousand years, Miss Mu is the origin of the doomsday prophecy, Sirius, so she shouldn't be dead.

But the sources of these so-called prophecies are all unknown; who knows whether they are true or false?

If the prophecy was a lie, and there was no predetermined doomsday future, then...
The more Xia Feng thought about it, the more his head ached.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and checked the state of the fragments of the power of conservation of fortune and misfortune.

[Accumulated blessings: 84.44%]

"Little Carp, if we use the Blessing ability, can we designate Mu Qingtong to survive?" Xia Feng asked in confusion.

"Yes, but Master, the level of the power of fortune and misfortune is currently very low, and the influence of Fortune can only be a small part of the fate. If the target's death fate is extremely large, enough to affect one or even multiple realms, then the increase in survival probability that Fortune can provide will be negligible. Of course, sometimes even a 0.01% increase in probability can have the power to change the outcome."

"Is it negligible?" Xia Feng pondered. If the sacred ritual could not be destroyed, then he could only use his blessings to bless Miss Mu with good fortune. In addition, Miss Mu herself possessed the Destiny Stone, which she could use to enter the River of Time for refuge.

After that, one can only leave it to fate.
Alas, in the end, it all comes down to Miss Mu and him being too weak.

However, the enemy underestimated Miss Mu's strength, treating her as at least a true god-level being. As a result, they directly mobilized the Holy Star Time Plate of the Three Holy Star Gods, expending countless manpower and resources, determined to kill Mu Qingtong, this demon god.

Gray world.

This realm does not exist in the form of planets, but is composed of two super-continents that seem to be enveloped in primordial energy.

The two continents face each other, one above the other, and are surrounded by three stars, but there are no natural satellites. As a result, except for some special cities, most of the region has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is not suitable for human habitation.

According to the imperial timekeeping, it was nearly midnight, a time when extreme cold should be descending, but the celestial phenomena tonight were particularly unusual.

The stars in the north and south positions have disappeared, but the star in the east position has violated the celestial laws of the gray realm for the first time, remaining directly above the two continents. If you look closely, you can even see that the star in the east position is faintly magnified.

The surface temperature rose rapidly, reaching its highest value since the formation of the ash boundary, as if it were about to burn away all the evil spirits.

"How long are you going to keep putting this off?!"

Above the eastern star, unseen by anyone, an old man draped in a robe of starlight looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless space and time, gazing upon the star realm. "If this continues, the celestial anomalies will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Demon God. If this so-called Demon God truly possesses the celestial god realm, then all our plans will be in vain!"

Huan Yu was silent for two seconds. The response was a childish voice, which, though not angry, carried an air of authority: "Zhou Yin, you should understand that the basis for my willingness to cooperate with you is the formation of 'Sui Guang' (a celestial body). However, at this moment, there is still no sign of Sui Guang. If there is still no 'Sui Guang' within a quarter of an hour, this cooperation will have to be terminated."

The majestic sound of divine power echoed through the silent universe and above the stars.

The old man lifted the hood of his Starry Divine Robe. His eye sockets were empty, but between his brows was a vertical eye filled with countless stars.

The countless stars suddenly converged, forming a divine star pupil like a piece of crystal jade, which narrowed slightly.

"The essence of the Light-attribute Spirit Robe is the core material for its creation. You have not cultivated any Light-attribute abilities, yet you insist on having this item. What is your purpose in using it? Now that things have come to this, you should explain yourself to this court!"

"It won't hurt to tell you."

The childish voice suddenly changed tone, sounding just like a pure and innocent child, "Besides being a source of spiritual materials, the light of time is also a key that can be used to open a [door]."

"Door?"

"That's right, what's inside the door is extremely important to me~"

At this point, as if sensing something, the childish voice paused.

His innocent tone shifted to one of majesty and grandeur, like that of a saint: "The year has begun, let us begin."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yinxing looked down and, sure enough, the Time Soil in the very center of the star's core began to turn into mist and evaporate, releasing wisps of soft light.

This is another function of the Sacred Star Time Plate: the Time Soil may 'degenerate' into the Year Light during the ritual.

This substance is as rare as Time Soil, and it is an essential material for almost all light-attribute spirit garments.

"Buzz—!" But at this moment, space suddenly distorted on a certain part of the star's surface, and a dark, purple-tinged eerie shadow appeared on it.

He was a mysterious person wearing a black robe and a pure black mask, carrying a distinct demonic aura, surrounded by purple mist.

Zhou Yinxing narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the Demon God had not only discovered the celestial anomaly, but also the plot against Him.

But the demon sent this person to stop the sacred ritual?

Even a Venerable One Realm cultivator is just a lowly soldier.

To think that such a lowly soldier could destroy the ritual? That's ridiculous.

The moment the minions appeared, they were swallowed up by the star's energy.

Surprisingly, the grunts did not die, but instead merged into the star along with its energy.

Before long, it flashed into the star's core.

It seems to possess some kind of spirit garment related to stars, somewhat like the Ember Sun Divine Realm?

However, Zhou Yin still couldn't understand the intentions of the miscellaneous soldiers. After all, even if he possessed the Ember Sun Divine Domain, without the power of the Light, entering the star core would still be futile and wouldn't be able to shake the Holy Ritual in the slightest.
