8 The Sacrifice Is Actually A Young Girl?!

Just as James looked over nervously, he suddenly froze.

This was because he had clearly seen that the "sacrifice" was not some terrifying abyssal dragon.

It was not the same chaos creature from before either.

Instead, it was a young girl?!

This girl had curly golden hair, a delicate and slender body, and skin as fair as snow.

She also had a pair of eyes that would make anyone who saw them feel pity.

She was huddled in the middle of the formation as she timidly looked at James.

…

This girl was born in a backward, superstitious, and poor village.

Those villagers believed that they would be bestowed with gifts from the Evil God as long as they offered enough tributes to him.

They did so to get what they wanted.

They wanted food, fresh water, and money…

They had sacrificed everything they could for these things.

However, there was no sign of gifts from the Evil God. As a result, they started to panic.

Was the Evil God dissatisfied with the tributes?

In order to find a tribute to sufficiently satisfy the Evil God, they asked their respected Great Elder.

His answer was — sacrifice a young girl!

A beautiful young girl!

Therefore, they ignored the opposition from the young girl's parents and forcefully sacrificed her to receive gifts from the Evil God.

To prevent her from moving and ruining the sacrificial ritual, they tied the young girl up tightly.

The young girl lay in the middle of the sacrificial array, her heart filled with despair.

She felt honored to be the sacrifice for the Evil God.

However, she knew that it was very possible that this sacrifice would fail.

Sacrifices were not without rules. On the contrary, there were many rules.

The sacrificial array was essentially a spatial teleportation array.

Some creatures living in the void, such as the terrifying void creatures, could be sacrificed without any obstacles.

However, humans were not void creatures.

A human's fragile body would not be able to withstand the tearing sensation of spatial teleportation without learning any space-related knowledge.

Thus, there was a high chance that she would die in the process of spatial teleportation.

However, her hands and feet were tied up at that moment.

Thus, it was impossible for her to escape.

Her parents had also been imprisoned by the other villagers.

This was because the villagers were afraid that her parents would ruin the ceremony. If they angered the Evil God…

Everyone would die!

Thus, the young girl could only lie in the middle of the array with despair and cry silently.

She could only watch in despair as the array was filled with red light before it drowned her.

As she traversed the void, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave and she felt a bone-piercing chill throughout her entire body. Thereafter, she felt as if she had fallen into a volcano, where the scorching heat was about to melt her.

Was this the feeling of traveling through the void?

How painful… how terrifying…

The young girl was filled with despair.

She did not know how much time had passed. Just as her willpower and body were about to be torn apart by the power of the void, the pain finally stopped.

She could feel it.

She seemed to have touched a hard floor.

She silently heaved a sigh of relief as she finally did not have to feel the torment anymore.

But soon, she became nervous.

If she had not died during teleportation, she should have arrived at the Divine Temple of the Evil God.

She raised her head shakily and saw an indescribable figure.

The girl felt how terrifying the figure was in the darkness. It was majestic and vast.

It made her feel a wave of fear as she recalled the words from the elders in her village, "Don't look straight at a god!"

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to take another look at the figure.

In her fear, she could only start to recite the prayers required when making sacrifices to the Evil God!

"The Lord of the Void…"

"The redemption of the undeserved…"

"The primordial evil that leads to the Temple of Immortals…"

"The dead silence of the bright night…"

"The punishment above the thunderclouds…"

"…"

James was speechless as he looked at the young girl who kept chanting prayers out of fear.

He was a little confused now.

Why did this sacrifice send a young girl over?

Shouldn't a sacrificial array of this scale produce a terrifying abyssal demon dragon?

Alternatively, it could send over terrifying chaos creatures in the void.

Why was it a young human girl instead?

She had a petite body, pale skin, and golden curls.

She also looked very weak.

The girl was curled up in her tattered clothes while her hands and feet were tied with ropes.

Meanwhile, her sky-blue eyes were filled with fear and unease.

James walked slowly over to the young girl who was crawling on the ground. "Hey, you okay?"

Sensing the approach of the Evil God, the young girl became even more afraid and bowed down even more respectfully as her prayers became louder.

"The… Lord of Hollow…"

"The redemption… of the undeserved…"

"Please… please listen to the prayers of your believers…"

The young girl started to stutter greatly out of her extreme fear. As a result, she even let out a series of indistinct sounds, making it difficult for James to hear her clearly.

What was this fellow doing?

James scratched his head, confused.

However, when he heard the words "Lord of the Void", he finally understood.

Did she think that James was the Evil God?

It was no wonder that she became like this after seeing him.

It was because she was afraid of provoking him and inflicting divine punishment on herself as a result.

After figuring out the situation, James helplessly said, "Hey, little fellow, you're mistaken. I'm not the Evil God."

Upon hearing his words, the girl's prayers suddenly stopped.

He wasn't the Evil God?

She looked up, puzzled.

However, when she raised her head, she felt an indescribable, strange, and vast terrifying aura.

She immediately lowered her head again.

"The… supreme and honorable Lord of the Void! I know this is the test you have given me!"

"No matter what you look like, as your loyal believer, I will not offend you at all. I do not dare to look at your face."

James was speechless. He never thought that he would make the young girl even more frightened when he spoke.

He was helpless.

He could only squat down and force the girl to look at him directly.

"Look at me!"

"Look at my cheerful and handsome face. Do I look like an Evil God?!"

Upon hearing his words, the girl's opened her tightly shut eyes slightly.

"Eh?"

He— he didn't look like an Evil God!

The face in front of him was not what she had imagined.

She had imagined that the Evil God's face must be poised and imposing, making people want to crawl on the ground in fear upon seeing him.

However, the face in front of her was like the brother next door.

However, this person was much more handsome.

"Are… are you really not the Evil God?"

The young girl tried asking him.

She was still a little uncertain. After all, she had passed through the sacrificial array and teleported here.

Seeing that the girl was still hesitant, James sighed.

"I'm really not the Evil God~"

Upon hearing his words, the young girl finally relaxed completely. Then, her body slumped weakly onto the ground.

Upon seeing this, James stretched out his hand to help her up.

However, it was as if the young girl seemed to have seen something terrifying and her body instantly stiffened.
