Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Sir, you are indeed amazing!"

Seeing He Li arrive, Yu Fu spoke.

On his face, there was no surprise or astonishment at He Li's use of the Fire of the Night to kill the powerful aggregate of evil thoughts; there was only calmness as if he had long expected this outcome.

However, Yu Fu did not know He Li's trump card, let alone know in advance that He Li would use the Fire of Fire at Night.

That's why he wasn't surprised...

It's highly likely because he anticipated that He Li still had many powerful trump cards up his sleeve.

For example, He Li's "Fire Burns the Night" just now.

And that's precisely why...

He had anticipated that He Li would be able to deal with the Shu King Yu Fu, a special and powerful aggregate of evil thoughts, without his help, so he was not too surprised by the current outcome.

As for He Li's concern about the fact that he had clearly instructed someone to notify Yu Fu to return to the city, but Yu Fu had not returned...

They pretended nothing had happened.

But He Li actually knew very well why Yu Fu hadn't listened to his advice and returned to the city.

If nothing unexpected happens...

The reason the other party didn't return to the city to help...

Aside from the fact that Yu Fu knew He Li still had trump cards and was therefore not in a hurry to go back, the main reason was that Yu Fu valued the sacrificial ceremony more.

After all, theoretically speaking, since the established history is bound to happen, there is no reason why anything could happen.

In addition to his trump cards...

From Yu Fu's perspective, he didn't need to worry about He Li's safety at all, and could even take this opportunity to see what other power He Li could muster.

Incidentally, they can stay here and continue preparing for more important sacrificial ceremonies.

Because of the confirmation of this sacrificial ceremony...

It was important not only to the Shu Kingdom.

This is very important for the human race.

Although the human race already had other sacrificial activities similar to worshipping the heavens or gods.

But He Li's idea... opened up a new and more useful path for the sacrificial activities of the human race in this era. This path was no longer about passively praying for protection...

Instead, it's about actively acquiring power to target evil spirits or malicious thoughts.

If this sacrificial ceremony is confirmed and successful...

Humanity's reliance on the gods will diminish.

Such an important matter is naturally more important than He Li, who is unlikely to have any problems. Therefore, it is quite normal that King Yu Fu of Shu only watched from the sidelines and did not return to the city to help.

He Li pretended not to know, and did not mention it because he also considered it extremely important.

In addition, the fish will die later...

It's also possible that helping him resolve the evil thoughts in the world allowed him to successfully deify Fang Xiangshi and die... Thinking that he would receive such a favor, He Li naturally didn't bother to care much.

That's why, upon arriving at their destination and meeting Yu Fu, He Li simply nodded calmly.

"It took some effort."

"But it was eventually resolved; it wasn't a big problem."

"However..." He Li paused for a moment and said, "However, the darkness of time is intensifying."

"Those aggregates of evil intentions, and the special individuals they send out, are becoming increasingly terrifying in combat. We must not only not let our guard down, but also be even more vigilant."

"Otherwise, there's no guarantee that problems won't arise."

Upon hearing this, Yu Fu nodded: "Yes, I can also sense the changes in darkness between heaven and earth."

"We don't have much time left."

"But those special aggregates of evil thoughts... their appearance is not necessarily a bad thing. At least what just happened can help the deification process proceed smoothly."

"However... while the deification method is easy, we cannot be certain whether the sacrificial rituals will be effective."

A hint of worry flashed in Yu Fu's eyes.

Although he had confidence in He Li.

Throughout history, other sacrificial activities to worship heaven and gods have essentially been superficial. The real core issue lies in whether the gods acknowledge the worshippers.

If Heaven and the gods acknowledge the worshippers and intend to protect those who perform sacrificial rites...

Let alone the complex sacrificial rituals.

You can receive blessings from heaven or the gods simply by kneeling and worshipping.

Conversely, if Heaven and the gods do not recognize or are unwilling to protect those who perform sacrificial rites, then no matter how complex and grand the sacrificial ceremony you design...

It's impossible to gain any benefit from it.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Yu Fu had some worries.

After all, let's not forget that He Li's sacrificial activities are essentially a worship of He Li who has not yet become a god, or rather... a conceptual entity that can suppress evil thoughts.

This situation is unprecedented.

Yu Fu didn't know if he could succeed.

He would certainly feel worried.

However, now that things have come to this, he will never give up, even if he fails later.

"If it succeeds, that would be best. If it doesn't, then we'll try again and make changes. In any case, we must ensure that this sacrificial ceremony is successful."

"Otherwise, let the darkness continue..."

"We allow this aggregate of evil to grow unchecked, and we can't find any other way to combat it..."

"Then all living beings on earth will perish!"

Yu Fu clenched his fist slightly.

He Li, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, walked towards the altar-like platform that had been erected long ago, covered with patterns of flames and sacred trees, and spoke...

"We will succeed."

As they were talking, He Li had already arrived at the high platform.

Meanwhile, in the surrounding dark wilderness, the chilling malice emanating from the collective evil grew ever stronger.

Faintly, everyone could see countless evil thoughts gathering in the darkness, converging on them like a tide.

However, this situation was discovered...

Not only did Yu Fu not back down, but the other guards and wizards did not back down either.

They retreated slightly, suppressing their fear as they lit the large cauldron filled with flammable materials placed around the altar. Instantly, a totem of raging flames formed on the wasteland.

If you look at this place from a distance...

It can be clearly seen that dozens of large cauldrons burning with flames surround the huge altar that faintly reflects the firelight in the darkness, and He Li, whose whole body is burning with fire, stands in the middle.

Yu Ji did not follow him up to the altar.

She stood simply beneath the altar, her small hands touching it as if she were channeling some kind of power through it.

If you look closely, you can see tiny green threads of energy following the indentations carved into the altar's patterns, gathering at He Li's feet and rising upwards.

And it is also affected by the rising energy...

The fire within He Li burned even more fiercely.

Meanwhile, on the altar... He Li slightly raised his head, took a deep breath, and seemed to be ready. Suddenly, the fire in his heart erupted, shooting into the sky, and he began to move.

He closed his eyes, recalling the heaven-worshiping ceremony he had witnessed firsthand...

He didn't feel much when he watched it before.

But now he has comprehended the Dao of Body Transformation.

When he recalls the Heaven Worship Ceremony in his mind, he can clearly feel the meaning represented by those movements, as well as the subtle interaction between the movements and the heavens and the Dao.

But a simple worship ceremony is not enough!

The ritual of worshipping heaven, performed in the posture of an ordinary person, makes it difficult to directly receive the power of heaven and earth.

The movements from the Heaven Worship Ceremony can only be used to enhance the existing power of the sacrifice, so He Li was also mentally working on the Heaven Worship Ceremony he had seen before...

Go and try to deduce the unknown Nuo dance!

Although he had actually tried this deduction repeatedly in his mind during his time in the capital, He Li only realized this when he actually started today...

He actually used all those Nuo dance movements that he had been repeatedly rehearsing in his mind over this period of time...

Everything has been forgotten!

Even those images from later generations...

He found that he couldn't remember anything.

However, this sudden change, while causing He Li's instinctive stride to abruptly stop, did not make him give up on continuing the deduction; instead, it excited him.

The fact that such a reaction occurred indicates that his deduction or the direction he was following was at least correct.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly forgotten all his memories of this subject for no reason.

He was fully aware of the current situation...

This is the rule taking effect!

The reason for this is most likely because He Li has information in his mind about Nuo dance and various sacrificial rituals from later generations.

These messages from later generations are actually the evolution of sacrificial rituals from the ancient, mythical era.

Since things have a sequence, theoretically speaking, He Li cannot complete the "cause" that gave rise to the result based on the result that has already occurred in later generations. Therefore, the rules made him forget these things.

If in this state...

He Li still created the Nuo dance, which possessed special powers, and thus the predetermined history was completed, and the world's people's counterattack and suppression of evil thoughts would truly begin.

However, in a state of "complete forgetting"...

It is difficult to create a unique ancient ritual based solely on basic movements like worshipping the heavens.

Even if He Li possesses extraordinary comprehension...

It's definitely not easy!
