In that case, it seemed that the people of the country had been secretly manipulating them. This was undoubtedly a great blessing. For Lu Zi, this was no different from a bolt from the blue.
When An still did not understand and asked what the Great Fu-Practicing was,
Luzi replied, ”
” The Great Fu Sect is in charge of the military forces of the Thousand Islands. They are also the main force and executor of the ‘Divine Wizard Selection.’ No wonder they would target the Eight Limbed…”
“Wait a minute, Miss Lu, is this matter related to the forbidden monster in the
Roko nodded. Since she was going to face Orochi later, it was necessary for her to briefly explain the origin of the snake to Vivian and Anne. Perhaps it would be helpful later.
” The two of you aren’t locals of the Thousand Islands, so you naturally don’t understand. Every ten years, the Thousand Islands hold a Divine Magus election. The girls who have the potential to become Divine Magi are chosen by the ‘god’ of the Thousand Islands. They compete for the selection, and in the end, a Divine Magus is born. The Divine Magus will enter the Abyss Sea and be sacrificed to the Yamata no Orochi.
“This… I don’t quite understand why humans are sacrificed to… Demonic creature?” Vivian found it a little unacceptable.
However, Lu Zi shook her head.
“The sacrifices here are not meant to be sacrifices. If we really talk about this matter, it will involve the history of the Thousand Islands.”
Both of you should know that before the Era of the Nine Gods, order had yet to be established, and the world was still in chaos and war. At that time, ordinary people had to rely on powerful existences if they wanted to live. Orochi was the first patron saint of the people of the Thousand Islands at that time.”
But then, with the rise of the Nine Gods and the arrival of a new era, a country cannot have two gods. Even if the Water God didn’t mind, the Orochi’s pride wouldn’t allow it. Therefore, it took the initiative to wage war against the Water God.”
In the end, the snake was defeated, but the Water God was merciful and didn’t kill it. Instead, he made an agreement with the snake and allowed it to bring its people who were still willing to follow it to the bottom of the deep sea. Legend has it that there is an eye of the sea there that connects to the Evil World, and it is called the Abyss Sea.”
“The condition for the snake and its offspring to survive is to guard the Abyssal
Sea for all eternity to prevent the evil from surging out of the eye of the Abyssal Sea and harming the Thousand Islands.”
As an official of the Sheshi House, Roko was extremely proficient in the culture of the Thousand Islands, because Sheshi House was in charge of sacrifices and ceremonies.
Although a small portion of the information was already classified as internal documents, at this point, Roko did not hold anything back. She tried her best to use short and clear words, hoping to quickly let the two people in front of her obtain more information.
Because she knew that this was the only way she could win a chance of survival in the upcoming shipwreck.
” As for the selection of Divine Magi, under the new era’s ideology advocated by the Grand Ceremony, it is regarded as an inspection system. By sending the selected Divine Magi to the Water God Temple in the Abyssal Sea, it is determined whether the snake and its descendants are continuing to fulfill the agreement and whether they are continuing to guard the Abyssal Sea. ”
‘ Ot course, our society has always been against it. Because in our eyes, the selection of the Divine Wizard is more like a consolation. It tells the snake and its descendants, as well as the people who followed the snake into the Abyssal Sea and are now known as the survivors of the Abyssal Sea, that they have not been forgotten. The Water God and the people of the Thousand Islands still remember them.
After listening to the history of the ” selection of the Divine Wizard,” the little wolf cub suddenly remembered that in the ” third ” experience, there was an old Thousand-island Warrior on the ship. He had also emphasized the selection of the Divine Wizard to the violent snake, calling it an inducement. He had also mentioned the words ” resistance ” and disrespect many times.
From the looks of it, the older generation of samurai should have been more inclined to the concept of ” social practice ” and had a sense of reverence for the Yamata no Orochi. However, why did the concept of the great ceremony become the mainstream, and even the situation of the shrine maiden escaping?
Lu Zi didn’t let the wolf cubs wait for too long. After she finished explaining the general history, she returned to the current situation with a heavy expression.
However, in recent years, there have been more and more people who oppose the Divine Magus Selection among the people of the Thousand Islands. The reason is that all the Divine Magi who entered the Abyssal Sea have started to…There’s no return to the United States. ”
” At first, they could still suppress it. But as time went on, people began to question whether the snake had broken its promise and torn up the contract. Then, wouldn’t it be equivalent to sending a sheep into the tiger’s den to die if they chose their Divine Wizard?”
Because of this, the impression of the snake among the people of the Thousand Islands began to deteriorate rapidly, and they boycotted the selection of the Divine Magus. Initially, every family hoped that their daughter could be selected as a candidate for the Divine Magus, which was an honor to bring honor to their ancestors. Now, everyone is afraid that their daughter would be selected by the Great Fu Priest and taken away to become food for the snake.”
Hearing this, Ann couldn’t help but ask,”
“What about Water God? Didn’t your Lord Water God show up after such a big thing happened?”
Vivian was also puzzled by this. Both of them were born from the Flame Domain.
Although the Fire God Alice’s recent actions were a little like stabbing her people, if one looked at the river of time in the entire Flame Domain, the Fire God was still very dutiful. She protected the Flame Domain at all times. If there was even the slightest movement, she would immediately nip it in the bud..
