Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

There is a high possibility that the fantasy that she was looking forward to is slumbering in this cave.

After an unknown amount of time, Patriarch Jiuyuan's wheelchair stopped.

"We have arrived."

Countless rays of light pricked the eyes of Asuka, who was accustomed to darkness.

After the light passed, the girl stared at the wonderful scene in the grotto, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Chapter [-] Offering sacrifices to the father of all demons

More than five meters high, a huge black humanoid statue towers inside the grotto.

The dust that has stood the test of time, the vines hanging from the top cover the face, and only the long-distance bird can vaguely recognize that this is a statue depicting the majesty and heroism of men.

This is not what surprised her. There is no reason for the tall statue in the cave, which surprised the eldest lady of the Jiuyuan Consortium.

The reason for his surprise was the evil aura emanating from this statue.

Yes, evil breath.

Jiu Yuan Fei Niao couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. She only felt that the more she stared at the statue, the more her eyes and soul fell into a twisted vortex, unable to extricate herself or break free.

That vortex can melt the body, sublimate the soul, and even see some mysteries that should not be understood by humans.

"Don't stare for too long, the bird, your body won't be able to support it."

Patriarch Jiuyuan warned that compared to the young Asuka, he didn't turn his attention to the statue at all, and obviously knew the danger of this statue.

Jiuyuan Asuka withdrew her gaze, and immediately noticed that her heart was beating extremely violently, as if it was about to run out of her chest.

"Lord Patriarch, what is this...what is it?"

Fantastic events happened, but Asuka couldn't be happy for a long time.

That indescribable fear eroded her heart, making Asuka now want to rush back to the dormitory, covering herself with the quilt and shivering.

"This is the truth of the family festival."

The patriarch Jiuyuan sighed, turned his wheelchair to the edge of the wall, took out flint and lit torches one after another.

"We have a lot of time, let me tell you the deepest secret of the Kuyuan family first."

"Um……"

Jiuyuan Asuka resisted the desire to look at the statue, and half sat down with a stone pier.

"It starts with the first ancestors of the Jiuyuan family. The bloodline of the Jiuyuan family is not ordinary. You know this best in Asuka." The old man said, "Having the power to manipulate the hearts of others, it is impossible to verify where this power comes from. But there is no doubt that it is an ability that is not human."

"It is like the meaning of bone marrow to bones. It is deeply hidden in the blood of the Jiuyuan family. There are many people in the past who have similar abilities to you, but you are the first one as strong as Asuka. Maybe it happened. What kind of mutation, or maybe it’s an atavistic phenomenon, no one can know the truth.”

"If we follow the normal trajectory, we, the stupid heirs of unknown existence, can only suffer the grace and curse of these powers, and cannot seek the root. But everything changed on the eighty-ninth birthday of the original ancestor."

"He met a woman... No, it would be too rude to call that adult a woman. She is the devil of the impure."

The old man grabbed the blanket covering his leg suddenly, as if recalling something terrifying.

"It's really terrifying. Just by reading the documents left by our ancestors, you can feel the fear that penetrates the bone marrow. The devil who is omnipotent, omniscient, and can change the world with one hand, she has no warning. appeared in front of the ancestors of the Kuyuan family."

Jiuyuan Flying Bird was also infected by the emotions in the old man's words, and held his breath involuntarily.

"Humans are always afraid of death, and the ancestors are no exception. He was not frightened into a coma by the goddess, but as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and wanted to use extraordinary power to prolong his life."

"Maybe it's human beings that are not worth mentioning. The demon god who found it interesting agreed easily and chose to make a contract with the ancestors of the Kuyuan family."

"The content of the agreement is two. One is that she will extend the life of the ancestor for [-] years, and let him maintain a youthful and healthy body before the end of life. The blood of the ancestor must be worshipped to the demon god named "Father of Demons" .The second is that as long as the worship does not stop and sacrifices are made to the "Father of All Demons" in each generation, the person who sacrificed the sacrifice is allowed to fulfill any wish. "

Hearing this, Kuyuan Asuka frowned.

"Wait, Lord Patriarch. Are you sure you remember correctly?"

"I feel like I shouldn't have Alzheimer's, Asuka, what's wrong?"

"The logic doesn't make sense."

said the bird.

"The statue in front of you is the "Father of Demons" in your mouth, right?Then the agreement allows the Jiuyuan family to offer sacrifices to it every generation to achieve a wish. Why hasn't the Jiuyuan family ruled the world, or become the real ruler?If this wish is a bit heavy, according to the performance of the female devil who can give life at will, the Jiuyuan family should have longevity people appearing in every generation.But as far as I know, except for the special abilities, the Jiuyuan family follows the birth, old age, sickness and death of human beings. "

"The Demon God will not leave any special loopholes. There is no such phenomenon of abusing wishes because the sacrifices are not accepted."

The old man closed his eyes.

"Only when the "Father of Demons" accepts the sacrifice can his wishes come true.Unacceptable sacrifices naturally cannot achieve the true meaning of the agreement. "

"So the family festival held in each generation is the Jiuyuan family gambling?" Asuka twitched: "If this is the case, please allow me to question you and your ancestors, because this is simply too stupid."

"Haha, worthy of being the most outstanding descendant of the family, the pride of being outspoken is the embodiment of the noble bloodline of the Jiuyuan family."

Patriarch Jiuyuan chuckled.

"But Asuka, do you know why the Kuyuan family is so obsessed with family rituals without a successful precedent?"

"No one can resist the opportunity to realize any wish."

Kuto Asuka replied succinctly.

The old man nodded.
