I fought back after reselling my engagement

Xing Weiran knelt on the ground.

Just as Star-Lord was thinking, he heard someone exclaim, "What happened to the Virgin Mary Spring?"

The twelfth layer of the Our Lady Spring turned into a phantom, and it suddenly shattered, revealing a nine-foot-high trunk of the entire Our Lady Tree, which looked so strange.

After that, it was the Our Lady's Spring on the eleventh floor, which turned into a phantom, shook and shattered, and then a nine-meter-high tree trunk was seen.

Then there is the tenth floor, the Virgin Mary Spring…

There were several priests in colorful clothes nearby, and one of them screamed piercingly: "The Holy Emperor has lost his virtue, the Holy Mother Tree has withered, and the Holy Mother Spring has been downgraded! The Holy Emperor has lost his virtue—"

Xing Weiran raised his chin: "The Holy Emperor has lost his virtue, the Holy Mother Tree has withered, and the Holy Mother Spring has been downgraded! The Holy Emperor has lost his virtue——"

Star-Lord roared, "Xing Weiran!", gritting his teeth.

Xing Weiran didn't want to bear such a great sin. The Holy Mother tree withered, which was a great sin that would punish all nine clans, and would make him a public enemy and sinner of all the subjects in the world. "I testify that the Holy Queen was not killed by the Crown Prince, but by the Holy Emperor Xing Jue, who killed her and framed the Crown Prince Xing Fan!"

The Holy Queen exclaimed, "You are talking nonsense!"

Xing Weiran stood up and looked at the increasing number of people around him. "Have you forgotten? It was the eldest prince Xing Fan who abdicated the throne to my father. In order to seize the throne, he killed the Holy Queen and framed the eldest prince to seize the Holy Emperor's position. The previous Holy Queen was killed by Xing Jue. He was the one who killed the Holy Queen..."

The high priest lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The second priest said, "The Holy Emperor Xingyao is virtuous and kind, and the eldest prince is filial to his parents and kind to the people. He is definitely not the real murderer who killed the Holy Queen. I have said it long ago that the eldest prince Xingfan would not do such a thing. Now the truth is clear. Xingjue killed his biological mother and harmed his brother in order to seize the Holy Emperor's throne. He is immoral and unfilial, and has no mercy on his brothers. That is why the Holy Mother Tree withered and the Mother Spring was downgraded!"

The three priests looked at the high priest.

The people in the priest's hall knew that after such a major incident, there must be a reason to calm the people's anger.

Countless couples are still on their way to the holy land. If they knew that the Our Lady Tree had withered and the Our Lady Spring had been degraded, there would be an uproar.

The high priest said: "The only solution now is to sacrifice the Immoral Saint Emperor Star Lord!"

The second priest said coldly: "The loss of virtue will be transformed into the origin beads to feed the Holy Mother Tree."

The people in the Priest's Hall felt that their chance to come forward had come.

In recent years, the priests in the priest's hall have been like decorations.

When the Our Lady tree withers and the Our Lady spring is downgraded, they will be able to perform.

Star-Lord shouted, "How dare you!"

The high priest did not respond.

The third priest said: "Not only the immoral members of the Holy Royal Family, but also the evildoers among the nobles will be sacrificed. Only by eliminating these immoral people can the Holy Mother Tree regain its vitality."

There are never any corpses in the Origin Realm, because after death, the creatures here will turn into the elemental force of heaven and earth, return to the Holy Mother Spring, and enter countless reincarnations through here.

Su Zhen watched the video and saw a series of events caused by the withering of the Holy Mother Tree.

The angry people pushed Star-Lord onto the judgment altar, and the priests performed a ritual to transform him into an Origin Pearl and sent him back to the Holy Mother Spring. The priests with their own ideas began to take advantage of the people's trust in the priest's hall to eliminate dissidents, and most of these dissidents were the confidants of the former Holy Queen and Holy Emperor Star-Lord.

All the criminals in the prison turned into Origin Pearls on the altar and returned to the Virgin Mary's Spring.

In just half a month, thousands of people died.

Even a small sin could cost one’s life.

The result was that the Virgin Mary Tree sprouted new leaves and the double-level holy fruit grew new buds. The people in the priest's hall were greatly excited and felt that the method of sacrifice was feasible, so they directly ordered each city to send in sacrificers.

Just half a month ago, the authority of the Priest's Hall surpassed the imperial power of the Holy Royal Family.

More than a dozen princes of the Holy Royal Family, Star-Lord's brothers and sisters were scheming against each other to get rid of each other. They framed each other one after another, just to use the Priest Hall to get rid of their political enemies.

Xing Weiran wanted to be the Holy Emperor. After Xing Jue was punished, he actually thought of a way to eradicate the problem completely and sent the Holy Queen and her son, as well as the Holy Concubine and her son to the altar. The reason was that he asked someone to inform the Priest Hall, saying that they wanted to avenge Xing Jue.

The high priest even heard Star-Lord's eldest son say with his own ears, "When I grow up, I will definitely kill the priest to avenge my father."

Upon hearing this, the priest sent all of Star-Lord's wife and children to the altar.

After the sacrifice of Star-Lord's wife and children, new buds sprouted in the third-level holy fruit area.

In order to save the Holy Mother Tree, the entire Origin Realm was almost crazy.

Everyone from the Holy Royal Family and nobles to the common people were affected. Countless commoners were abandoned by their families and clansmen and became sacrifices. In order to get rid of their enemies, the nobles framed and framed each other endlessly.

Su Zhen thought of his adoptive parents in his memory and saw his former village. The whole village was shrouded in shadow. After the last sacrifice of three people, the higher-ups gave five quotas and asked their village to send five people to be sacrificed to save the Holy Mother Tree.

The young people shouted, "Why? The Holy Emperor has lost his virtue, the Holy Mother Tree has withered, and the Holy Mother Spring has been downgraded, yet he wants us civilians to make sacrifices!"

The old village chief said slowly: "The entire family of the Holy Emperor has been sacrificed, and even the nobles have a quota. If the Holy Mother Tree cannot be saved, the entire Origin Realm will no longer exist."

"What does it have to do with us ordinary people if the people in power are not well governed and have no moral integrity?"

They have never enjoyed happiness, but now that something bad has happened, they are asked to offer sacrifices.

The three people who offered sacrifices last time were volunteers, but now there are five more vacancies. The first three were all old men. They felt that they had lived long enough and would sooner or later turn into Origin Beads and return to the embrace of the Holy Mother Tree, so it would be better to offer sacrifices earlier.

The Virgin Mary tree is their mother. Without the Virgin Mary tree, there would be no them.

These villagers are simple and kind and should not be sacrificed.

They are not the original masters, they are living people.

The young man refused to offer the sacrifice.

Most middle-aged people have children and grandchildren and don’t want to die.

The old village chief is the oldest. After the three oldest people were sacrificed last time, the rest of them didn’t want to die.

"Okay, all the villagers are here, except for the underage children. Are there any others willing to be sacrificed?"

There was silence in the venue.

The old village chief glanced at the crowd and said, "If there is no one willing to offer the sacrifice, then we will draw lots. The one who draws the word 'sacrifice' will offer the sacrifice. I have already written five lots for the sacrifice. It will be decided by God's will..."

During this time, a nine-star youth walked out of the crowd and smiled. "God's will? The will of the Holy Mother Tree told me that she is not sick, she is just tired and wants to sleep. The Priest Hall is doing whatever it wants to seize power, and we are doing the same. In order to survive, we have to send our own villagers to be sacrificed!"

The old village chief stared at the newcomer. "You've been learning skills outside, have you become stupid? Over in Changping City, a town caused unrest because of refusing to offer sacrifices. The leader, who numbered more than 100 people, was killed by the guards. The remaining villagers were all thrown into jail and will be taken away for sacrifice one after another. If you don't offer sacrifices, the higher-ups will send troops to destroy the town and the village."

The adoptive mother was terrified.

The foster father asked, "Is there no one in charge?"

"What do you care about? The Holy Emperor was punished for his immorality, the Holy Queen and her daughter were sacrificed, and half of the entire Holy Royal Family died in one month. You think no one in the Holy Royal Family sacrificed, but they sacrificed half of their people; the nobles have already sacrificed 30% of their people. There are more than 300 people in our village, and we only sent five people for sacrifice, which is already too few."

Half of the Holy Royal Family was sacrificed. This number is too terrifying.
