Chapter 1135: Temporarily Stopping the Sacrifice
Chapter 1135: Temporarily Stopping the Sacrifice
After leaving Karubotu Mountain, Chen Chuan, Skarlsen, and the members of the International Investigation Team boarded a train to return to the Serranoja Continent.
A ritual expert from the investigation team said to Skarlsen, "Captain, based on our calculations, a celestial event will occur soon, a rare alignment of three stars that happens only once every three hundred years."
He explained further, "This alignment involves the Wise Star, representing wisdom; the Fate Star, representing destiny; and the Path Star, representing journeys. In the old days, these three stars were considered Ritual Stars because they are difficult to observe most of the time, appearing only during specific periods.
When the three stars align, it greatly enhances the effectiveness of rituals. Historically, there have also been records of six-star and nine-star alignments, but these have not occurred for nearly six hundred years."
Another ritual expert added, "We speculate that Samaruga has been delaying his move against you, Captain, likely waiting for this alignment. While we can't pinpoint the exact date, it should be sometime between now and the end of this month.
At that time..."
He paused, "If he sacrifices you then, he would likely receive more ritual feedback."
Another team member said, "Captain, you must have considered this beforehand, right?"
Skarlsen replied gravely, "I don't know much about rituals and was unaware of this. Issues like fissure leaks need to be addressed promptly. I wouldn't risk my safety by deliberately aligning with this timing. My return this time is mainly due to Chen Chuang; without him, I wouldn't be alive."
The team members nodded in agreement. Indeed, without Chen Chuang's help, not only would Skarlsen not have survived, but their continued investigation would also have been unsafe.
In this area of the Federation West Coast, occasional disappearances are not uncommon, and there's often no way to investigate them.
The team leader expressed gratitude, "Chen Chuang, we are truly grateful for your efforts. We also thank Daxun for supporting the investigation team!"
Chen Chuan responded, "We are all part of this world, and maintaining its safety is our duty. I've also said before that the International Investigation Team needs someone like Mr. Skarlsen."
Skarlsen said solemnly, "Although I have escaped, we must quickly address the New Light Cult's misuse of sacrifices and their communication with otherworldly entities. This is a very urgent matter."
He continued, "If the number of fissures in the world increases, allowing otherworldly entities to pass through more frequently, the Great Collision could come sooner.
While this is still a matter of debate, we don't have enough time to verify it. We must eliminate all possible threats to delay the Great Collision as long as possible."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Captain, what exactly will the Great Collision be like?"
Despite most of the team members being part of the International Investigation Team, they were unclear about the exact consequences of the Great Collision.
Skarlsen fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know much more than you, but the leader has said that the arrival of another world will certainly change the current world's rules. Powerful individuals might adapt quickly and find their place, but weaker ones will likely be swallowed or swept away.
Most people in the world are weak, and they will undoubtedly be the most affected.
Therefore, we must delay the Great Collision as much as possible to give the world more time to prepare. This will allow more strong individuals to emerge, who can become pillars of the world. We must also reduce internal conflicts so that when the Great Collision truly arrives, we can accumulate more strength."
The team members, hearing this, couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan. If anyone could be a pillar against the Great Collision, it might be someone like Chen Chuang.
Chen Chuan did not comment on Skarlsen's words. It might be his persistence or his character, but he thought too highly of people. He knew that resolving Samaruga in front of Skarlsen had made him feel regretful, perhaps seeing it as a weakening of the forces against the Great Collision.
However, Skarlsen was a reasonable person and understood that this was to save him, so he didn't say anything at the time.
In Chen Chuan's view, people like Skarlsen could be pillars, but those like the New Light Cult were more like worms gnawing at the pillars, and might even become those who would try to dismantle them. Therefore, it was better to eliminate them early.
Half a day later, they returned to the temporary base of the Serranoja Investigation Team.
The on-duty personnel immediately handed them newspapers, supposedly printed in an emergency, along with some updates from the central city.
The newspapers had already reported the attack on the New Light Cult's preaching location, but the New Light Cult did not blame Chen Chuan or the investigation team, only claiming it was a serious internal incident.
The Samaruga individual from the Propaganda Department clashed with the International Investigation Team over personal interests, attempting to Resolve Matters By Force. However, the matter has now been handled according to religious laws.
They issued a public statement, vowing to comply with international treaties, ceasing all secret sacrificial activities, and expressing their commitment to maintaining World Safety, willing to contribute more in the future.
Regarding the incident, they expressed deep regret and promised to investigate clearly, clarify responsibilities, and provide satisfactory compensation to the affected individuals and groups.
The New Light Cult has pushed the fault onto the Samaruga individual, despite Chen Chuan clearly killing the target, they altered the story to self-disposal.
This move, aside from preventing the sect's reputation from being damaged, clearly aimed to Avoid Further Conflicts with Daxun and the International Investigation Team, amounting to a proactive retreat.
If the above is true, then the various sacrificial activities of the New Light Cult might soon disappear.
However, this does not mean such incidents will not recur, and the New Light Cult, after suffering this loss, will certainly seek revenge. Therefore, vigilance must be doubled in the future, and no relaxation is allowed.
Since it was already evening, Chuan stayed overnight and left for Vijiazia the next morning, after Farewells and Thanks from the Investigation Team Members.
It was also informed that Kavatuya rejoiced upon hearing the news and was preparing to award him with a medal of honor.
Since the New Light Cult has always been the driving force against Kavatuya, this victory was a huge boost, causing Celebrations that lasted all night.
Chen Chuan was skeptical about the medal, Kavatuya imitates Federal Form, which they are unwilling to change, but they learn quickly in form.
Seeing this, he turned his thoughts, heading to the Capital, inevitably dealing with Prime Human Company personnel.
He had previously received news, the Prime Human Company delegation was negotiating with the First Escort Unit, hoping to gain more favorable conditions in Daxun, where his main business was in Jibei Circuit, and he was the Chief of Jibei Circuit’s Security Department, making it impossible to bypass.
He looked out the window at this moment, watching the scenery rush by, his eyes gradually becoming distant.
Meanwhile, in Vijiazia Central City, Non-Body Flow Dojo.
A woman around sixty, well-maintained, knelt elegantly in the main position of the Non-Body Flow Dojo, her posture graceful, despite her age, still full of energy, her black hair neatly combed, her clothing without a wrinkle.
Before her, two formally dressed individuals, clearly representatives of a company, were presenting a Plan to her, discussing it calmly.
She is Luo Xiao’s daughter, Cui Xuanhui’s granddaughter, Luo Weina, who has been Promoting Non-Body Flow in Vijiazia, where Non-Body Flow has gained fame in the Federation, largely due to her and her mother’s efforts.
Of course, previously, They Had National Heroes, But Now, This Title Has Been Revoked.
Without Cui Xuanhui, the Non-Body Flow Dojo immediately faced envious gazes, but she would not abandon it, as it was the Heart’s Blood of Her and Her Mother.
Cui Xuanhui’s Non-Body Flow was Suitable for Fighting Families, Offering No Support to the Fighters Below, All Summarized by Them, Initially Borrowing Cui Xuanhui’s Name and Receiving His Protection, but Later Entirely Their Own.
Now, Through Half a Lifetime of Efforts, She Has Turned It Into a Renowned Brand, Disciples Spread Across the Federation, and Possessing Great Commercial Value.
"Ms. Luo, we hope you will consider our proposal carefully. If you have any thoughts, you can come and talk to us."
At this moment, the two company representatives saw her without expressing anything, without being Overly Urgent, and calmly Stood Up, Speaking to Her, "We Believe We Can Provide the Best Conditions."
Luo Weina did not Stand Up to Send, but Slightly Bowed to the Two, and After They Left, a Figure Flashed Across the Floor, a Man in a Hat Sat Before Her, Saying, "Ms. Luo."
Luo Weina slowly lifted the tea, Slowly Speaking, "You are not busy, are You? How Do You Have Time to See an Old Lady Like Me?"
