Chapter 1865: Chapter 1850: Heavenly God’s Wrath
"Great embodiment of the Sand Sea Heavenly God’s envoy, please forgive our foolishness and ignorance. It is our pettiness that caused us to act shortsightedly, leading us to stray from the Heavenly God’s glory.
Now, we who are foolish and humble have already awakened, we pray to the merciful Heavenly God, to allow our Yuansha Tribe to return under the radiance of the Heavenly God’s glory."
Speaking, the Clan Leader of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, heavily smashed his head into the sand, his buttocks raised high, adopting the most humble posture awaiting their fate.
At the same moment, all the Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe kneeled toward Ye Zhen, pleading in the most humble manner for Divine Envoy Ye Zhen’s forgiveness.
In the sky, the face of Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi turned incredibly ugly.
Not just the Yuansha Tribe, even those behind him, except for a few confidants in blue and green robes, the over a hundred temple warriors, were equally terrified, dropped to the ground, and worshipped Ye Zhen in the most pious manner, fearing that they and their tribes would be abandoned by the Heavenly God.
The key was that the trick Ye Zhen just displayed was too terrifying.
If making Yidongqing Divine Tree Flower bloom all over in an instant was a Divine Miracle, a blessing from the Heavenly God, then making the blooming Yidongqing Divine Tree wither and decay in an instant, that was divine punishment, the wrath of the Heavenly God.
Compared to the blessing of the Heavenly God, the wrath of the Heavenly God has a more deterrent effect.
How did Ye Zhen create this wrath of the Heavenly God?
The wrath of the Heavenly God, originated from the Acquired Spirit Treasure Wood Meridian Divine Beard Ye Zhen bestowed upon the Little Demon.
That Wood Meridian Divine Beard can instantly take root, absorb the wood element power from all surrounding flora.
Just now, Ye Zhen let the Little Demon activate the Wood Meridian Divine Beard, extracting the life essence of the newly bloomed Yidongqing Trees, letting them wither instantly.
This technique is like hanging a sharp sword over these Sha Clan tribes, Ye Zhen, the envoy, can either make their tribes flourish or face doom in a single thought.
Life and death in a single thought, this is the true means of God.
After today, the name of Envoy Ye Zhen, no one will be able to shake!
Ye Zhen, suspended in the sky, looked coldly with an icy gaze at the pleading Clan Leader Dijia and Sha Clanspeople, shaking his head slowly.
"The Sand Sea Heavenly God is merciful and tolerant, yet the Sand Sea Heavenly God also has dignity. The Heavenly God has given you two opportunities; it’s you who strayed from the Heavenly God’s glory, even I as the envoy cannot change that."
As Ye Zhen’s voice emerged, the clanspeople of Yuansha Tribe immediately began to cry desperately.
The Clan Leader of Yuansha Tribe, even more, frantically pressed his head to the ground, slapped his cheeks, and howled, "Merciful Envoy, give our Yuansha Tribe a chance, for this, I am willing to pay any price, we are willing to be the envoy’s servants, no, even slaves."
Watching the desperate display of the Yuansha Tribe’s Clan Leader Dijia, Ye Zhen did not offer any opportunity, but slowly turned his back.
This act, in an instant, made Dijia feel as if his bones were removed and collapse to the ground.
Is it true that the Yuansha Tribe will become abandoned, less than even sinful people?
Hearing the wailing of hundreds of thousands of Yuansha tribe members, Ye Zhen, turned away, heart as hard as steel.
The Yuansha Tribe today, even after being given opportunities, even after Ye Zhen showcased divine miracles, chose to betray and side with Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi.
It wasn’t until Ye Zhen displayed the wrath of the Heavenly God that they painfully awoke to return to the embrace of Sand Sea Heavenly God, wanting to enjoy the protection of Envoy Ye Zhen.
This is a typical betrayal, trying to surrender after being hit.
If Ye Zhen were to easily accept them today, does it mean that the tribes under the glory of Envoy Ye Zhen can all act this way?
Betray Ye Zhen as they wish, then surrender after being punished.
If that’s the case, what dignity does such an envoy still possess?
Now, this Yuansha Tribe, supported by Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi, serves as a negative example.
It can warn all tribes in the Sand Sea.
Betraying the Yizhi Heavenly God, betraying Envoy Ye Zhen, means paying an unbearable price.
Ye Zhen believes once this exception spreads.
Throughout the Yizhi Sand Sea, no tribe would dare betray Envoy Ye Zhen, dare violate the will of Envoy Ye Zhen.
Once the example of Yuansha Tribe spreads, the prestige of Sand Sea Divine Priest of the Yizhi Temple will be significantly weakened.
If such a situation arises again, the tribes within the Yizhi Sand Sea will definitely choose to stand by Envoy Ye Zhen, not Sand Sea Divine Priest.
"A tribe that has forsaken the glory of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God is no longer suitable for us to dwell with. Let us leave, and allow those who have forsaken the Sand Sea Heavenly God’s glory to seek their own glory."
Ye Zhen whispered softly and was about to leave.
Ye Zhen’s impending departure immediately drove the wailing Sha Clanspeople of Yuansha Tribe to desperation.
Everyone knew clearly that if Envoy Ye Zhen left, then their Yuansha Tribe would truly become an abandoned tribe, and everyone in the Yuansha Tribe would face a most miserable life.
An elderly man of the Yuansha Tribe, hair and beard all white, wiped away his tears, looked at the bewildered young granddaughter kneeling behind him, and his eyes suddenly became resolute.
The spiritual energy around him moved, and this white-haired man, whose cultivation was only at the Establishment Realm, charged into the sky, blocking in front of Ye Zhen.
The advancing Divine Guards immediately yelled angrily, "You traitors who have forsaken the glory of the Heavenly God, do you still intend to attack the Divine Envoy?"
The white-haired elder blocking Ye Zhen instantly knelt before him in mid-air.
"Respected envoy of Yizhi Heavenly God, please forgive our ignorance. It is the desires of the mortal world that have clouded our vision, causing us to commit foolish and ignorant acts, thus forsaking the glory of the Heavenly God.
We are guilty, we are sinners!
However, those ignorant children are innocent. They don’t even know what just happened. In their weakness and ignorance, they merely follow their parents and elders blindly.
We do not dare to hope for the Heavenly God to accept us again, we only plead for the Heavenly God to give these ignorant children a chance to return to His embrace.
But, the mistakes we have committed are unforgivable, it is we who have desecrated the glory of the Heavenly God. We only hope that our blood and beating hearts can wash away our sins.
So that our souls may be protected by the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God."
In a slow murmur, as the last words were spoken, the white-haired Sha Clan elder extended his hand, as if it were an iron claw, into his own chest.
Amidst a tooth-aching ripping sound, his chest spewed blood as the white-haired elder forcibly tore out his still beating heart, holding it with both hands, presenting it slowly towards Ye Zhen’s direction.
With the strong beating of the heart, the white-haired elder’s body and heart fell from the sky, landing in the sand.
The blood immediately soaked into the sand, and that vibrant heart continued to beat slowly.
The elder’s two granddaughters immediately cried out and lunged forward.
This scene made Ye Zhen’s gaze tighten in pain.
The cries of those two young girls made Ye Zhen’s heart suddenly soften, making him think of blooming the Yidongqing Divine Tree once again.
But Ye Zhen knew better, if today’s matter were let go like this, in the future, more of such happenings would occur within the Yizhi Sand Sea tribes, causing more lives to perish due to such meaningless betrayals.
Heart hard as iron!
Watching Ye Zhen’s resolute departure, many elders of the Yuansha Tribe, as if influenced by the previously fallen elder, had their gazes turn determined one by one.
In order to give the tribe’s children a chance to survive, a future, they now had no choice.
The elder who just offered blood and heart to the Heavenly God had already pointed out the path for them.
In the next moment, one by one, the elders of the Yuansha Tribe shouted the name of the Yizhi Heavenly God, crying out for forgiveness, and then, just like that white-haired elder before.
Either kneeling on the ground or flying into the air, kneeling before Ye Zhen, each of them rawly dug out their own hearts, offering them towards Ye Zhen’s direction.
With every breath, hundreds of elders presented their hearts to Ye Zhen, and before Ye Zhen could react, in just a few breaths, thousands of elders had offered their blood and life for the future of the Yuansha Tribe.
Ye Zhen closed his eyes unwillingly, a tear sliding down his cheek.
Originally, it was unnecessary for this to happen.
Originally, this sacrifice would not have occurred.
"Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God is merciful!" Ye Zhen’s voice, like thunder, suddenly exploded across the four corners of the Yuansha Tribe, "Blood can wash away sins, the Heavenly God has felt your sincerity."
With the sound of Ye Zhen’s voice, the eyes of the Sha Clan people of the Yuansha Tribe filled with hopeful light, and they stopped such heart-rending acts.
As Ye Zhen spoke, his cold gaze turned sharply towards the expressionless Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi floating in mid-air.
If someone had to be held accountable for the thousands of lives lost, the Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi was the prime culprit.
Ye Zhen had already made up his mind that one day, he would make Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi pay the price.
Apart from Meng Lixi, the chief of the Yuansha Tribe, Dijia, was also one of the main culprits.
"I carry out the will of the Yizhi Sand Sea Heavenly God, restoring the Yuansha Tribe under the protection of the Heavenly God’s glory, but..."
As the word ’but’ exited his mouth, Ye Zhen’s gaze locked onto the Yuansha Tribe’s chief ’Dijia’, "But the Heavenly God’s wrath must be appeased with certain people’s blood!"
Upon these words, all the Sha clan people of the Yuansha Tribe turned their gaze towards Chief Dijia, their eyes filled with fury and hatred.
Most of the Yuansha Tribe’s Sha Clan people had not actually forsaken the Yizhi Heavenly God, it was just that Chief Dijia wavered and stood with those tribal elders beside Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi, which provoked the Heavenly God’s wrath.
The meaning of the Heavenly God’s envoy Ye Zhen was crystal clear.
Dijia’s eyes were filled with nothing but regret.
After a short while, under the knife-like, sword-like stares of countless Yuansha Tribe’s Sha Clan people, Dijia let out a bitter laugh, and with all his strength, drove his hand into his own chest.
In the sky, the corner of Sand Sea Divine Priest Meng Lixi’s mouth twitched powerlessly as he witnessed this scene.
"May my blood quell the Heavenly God’s wrath, wash away my sins...." These were the last murmurs of the Yuansha Tribe Chief Dijia.
