Chapter 1618: I Will
“Long live the emperor!” At the same time, the commoners in the outer ring, the imperial capital, and the realm itself dropped to their knees and chanted long live the emperor.
For a time, their voices literally shook the whole realm.
For a time, the hearts of the people were as thick as a fog.
Logically speaking, Chu Xunxian’s coronation ceremony had come to an end. The Chief Libationist could withdraw now.
However, the old scholar stepped into the air until he was above the Altar of Heavens instead, sleeves flapping. He looked like a celestial.
“What is he planning?” The people watching the ceremony looked confused and puzzled.
It wasn’t just them. The Old Heavenly Master, the Dragon Subjugating Ze Master and more were puzzled as well.
It was at this moment the Chief Libationist made a grabbing motion. The vast purple qi in the horizon, the profound yellow qi on the ground, and the spiritual qi washing like with the wind all condensed into a single brush in the Chief Libationist’s palm.
Then, the Chief Libationist made a swiping motion and gently turned the thick, fog-like power of wishes into a piece of paper.
Bright red blood dripped down the Chief Libationist’s palm right after that. It gathered at the tip of the brush like ink.
“Today, a man named Yinghu uses the heaven, the earth, and the human as the brush, the people’s hearts as the paper, and his heart’s blood to make an offering to the heavens. May the heavens show mercy and sympathize with those who are suffering in the world. May the heavens expel the evils, clean the filth, and return a pure, unblemished world to humankind...”
With his blood as the ink, the Chief Libationist began writing many bloody words on the paper of nothing.
