At that time, many methods failed to quell the anomaly of the god, but as the core of the god, the elders could not remain indifferent to it.
In desperation, the Presbyterian Council could only choose a rather expensive solution——
Sacrifice.
That time, they sacrificed an elder who was dying.
At that time, this incident caused fierce quarrels, and some of the people present here came from that period.
As for why sacrifice?
More than 20 years ago, not long after the Divine Will was founded, a similar thing happened at that time. The solution was to sacrifice two captured fifth-level psykers.
To use the gods, the price must be borne by someone.
"It's a pity that Elder Su passed away last year, otherwise we wouldn't have a solution now." An elder sighed, but Elder Xu shook his head:
"Even if he is still alive, it will definitely take a long time to argue, or are you willing to give up the desperate fight when you have a short lifespan and become the nourishment of the gods?"
Speaking of which, the old elder with wrinkled forehead turned his head to look at the head seat, and looked at the great elder who was tilting his head slightly, showing no expression:
"The Great Elder must have someone to sacrifice, even if he hasn't decided whether to sacrifice or not."
Charles sat upright and smiled, and took the topic without any sense of disobedience:
"Elder Xu is not afraid that I will choose you in the end? You know, you don't have a few years to live."
Elder Xu's complexion changed, but he restrained himself and didn't answer.
As he spoke, he sighed:
"The damage of black crystals to the body is really powerful. The excessive amount of black crystals injected decades ago can't get rid of the influence until you become a sixth-level psyker."
"I heard that the orphan of Qingmang Biology is also a patient with severe black crystal disease. Maybe she and we have something in common by accident."
"The Great Elder was joking," an elder sighed, "According to the information from Miguang, the excessive amount of black crystals in Qingmang is for ordinary people. Awakening psionic power and raising a few levels can reduce the influence." Press it down."
"but we......"
The elder who spoke out shook his head and didn't continue talking.
The meeting hall of the Presbyterian Council fell into a strange silence. When the topic of longevity was mentioned, everyone had a sad look on their faces.
The black crystals on their bodies were actively injected through a special solution, and the concentration was much higher than that on Hua Mian's body.
Huamian did not die immediately after being infected.
Under Qingmang's medical treatment, she suffered for a long time before she gradually couldn't hold on.
However, the experimental subjects who understand God are different.
They don't have Qingmang's medical conditions, and no one will treat them. Only by awakening as psykers and constantly upgrading can they survive until now.
Those who have not awakened have already buried their bones.
"You don't need to be sad here. Neither of the two saintesses attended this meeting. Everyone should have guessed what it was."
Suddenly, Charles broke the silence and spoke with a smile.
Theoretically, the meeting of the elders was to notify the two saintesses, but for some reason, there were no two saintesses in this meeting.
"You mean?"
"The two saintesses should be happy to contribute to the two gods they believe in, right?" Charles said slowly, as if he was asking the elders for their opinions.
"that is......"
"Of course, they are saintesses..."
"Of course the saint must contribute to the gods."
The elders all agreed and echoed eagerly.
Since the matter of offering sacrifices is likely to be a foregone conclusion, as long as they are not the ones offering sacrifices, it's fine.
"Then, which saintess do you think is more appropriate to choose?"
Charles smiled slightly.
......
070 Candidates
"Then, which saintess do you think is more appropriate to choose?"
Charles smiled slightly.
It was clearly still spring, and it was even approaching midsummer, but the elders still felt chills when they saw the expressionless smile on Charles' face.
The two saintesses are characters that Charles personally promoted.
They are also part of his power expansion, and now they are abandoned like this?
Several elders had a deeper understanding of the Great Elder.
"If you want to offer a sacrifice, then it's safer to be Da Si Ming, after all, she is a sixth-level psychic." Elder Xu said hastily.
His lifespan is short, if the two saintesses are not selected this time, it will probably be his turn, so no matter what, he thinks it is better to choose one first.
"But according to our analysis of the AXX-level experimental body, Da Siming should have more than three years to live."
"Then Young Master can live for another five years." An elder sneered.
"But she became a sixth-level psyker at the age of 17, and stepped into the seventh-level within eight years..." The elder hesitated, "It may not be impossible."
"You want a seventh-level thug who can be stably controlled? Are you crazy?! When she reaches the seventh level, can the gods really restrain her?!"
Elder Xu's complexion changed, and he reprimanded loudly.
Going deep into the divine residence, the gods can affect sixth-level psykers, but it is not yet known whether the previous restrictions will be effective after Jiangli breaks through the seventh level.
If Jiang Li had the idea of betrayal after becoming a seventh-level psyker, the damage would be immeasurable.
Nobody can take that kind of loss.
"And Shao Si Ming is a fifth-level psychic, what's the use of sacrificing her?" asked Elder Xu, who was about to die.
"......Too."
Hearing this, the man nodded.
"Cough, cough!"
While arguing fiercely on the court, Charles clenched his hands into fists and coughed twice gently by his mouth.
The hall was suddenly quiet, and a needle could be heard.
"I just want to mention a few words," Charles smiled, "Although Shao Siming's strength has not reached level five, she has special psychic powers, and her vitality is no less than ordinary level six."
Charles already had a candidate for sacrifice in his heart, but he kept silent.
He didn't prepare to speak until he saw that there was something wrong with everyone's tone of voice.
Because in his opinion, Hua Mian has not yet reached level six at the age of 20, so he probably has no chance to break through the life limit.
He wanted Jiang Gracilaria to try.
Everyone in Shenyihui thinks that even severe black crystal disease patients can be cured as long as their strength breaks through level seven.
Can......
Charles knew, no.
The advanced black crystal disease is like tarsal maggots. In these years, no matter how Charles tried, he could not eradicate it from himself. The status of a seventh-level psyker only improved his tolerance and allowed him to live a few more days. Year.
But he has come to this point, is it possible that he will be willing to live only a few more years?
Obviously, not reconciled.
So Charles made many plans to survive.
Jiang Li is one of his back-up plans.
When Jiang Li breaks through and finds that he can't restore his normal lifespan even at level seven, he will become a natural ally with him.
It is much better for two seventh-level psykers to find a solution together than to study alone.
In order to survive, Charles had to bet on all possibilities.
This is also the reason for choosing Huamian as the target of the sacrifice.
Awakened as a fifth-level psyker at the age of 15, he is undoubtedly a genius on the outside, but compared with Da Siming Jiangli, he is still a little worse.
She has about five years to live.
But Charles didn't think that this girl could break through two consecutive levels in just five years and reach the pinnacle of psykers.
He does not care about divine development.
He became the Great Elder only because it is the most convenient way to prolong life here.
For Charles, as long as he can't reach the seventh level, the value will drop sharply.
Hua Mian is indeed a genius.
But in the eyes of Charles, her value is not even comparable to the elders of the Presbyterian Church who are expected to break through to the seventh level.
"Then choose the young commander?"
Elder Xu tentatively asked, no matter what, as long as he is not sacrificed.
He hasn't lived enough yet.
Charles nodded, raised his legs and propped his chin to look out the window, and stopped paying attention to the affairs in the meeting after he finished speaking, as if he really just raised his mouth.
But no one dared to underestimate the opinion of the Great Elder.
Seeing that Charles seemed not ready to speak, Elder Meng, the attendant with whom he had a good relationship, got up and said a few words:
"According to the last experience, there are still more than two months before the deadline. During this time, let the research institute try other solutions first."
"It's not bad to choose the young commander, it's just..."
There was a voice from the side seat, it seemed that an elder had thought of something.
"Elder Sun, please tell me."
The attendant of the Great Elder made a gesture of invitation. This Elder Sun broke into the Presbyterian Council not long ago.
Like everyone else, he is also the subject of the black crystal awakening solution.
Of course, he's not an artificial human.
"This kind of thing, no matter which saint is chosen in the end, the other saint will know, even if they were loyal before, but this kind of thing..."
There was clear suspicion in his tone.
"do not worry."
Hearing his question, Charles regained consciousness from his wandering state, and slowly leaned back:
"The black crystal disease on Da Si Ming's body can no longer be suppressed. She is not stupid. Four months is enough for her to guess that her life is not long."
"That child doesn't know why, but his desire to survive is extremely strong, and he is more focused on cultivation than the elders."
Having said that, Charles glanced around with a half-smile.
Several elders turned their heads in embarrassment.
They enjoy too much on weekdays, and things with extremely low returns like cultivation are naturally left behind by them.
"I remember that a few years ago, the Liu family developed a trial version of a black crystal soothing solution. When the time comes, tell her that it can prolong life, and she will probably agree."
"But isn't that thing a failure?"
When mentioning the potion, many elders showed strange expressions on their faces, it seemed that everyone was deeply impressed by it.
"You know that thing is useless, it can only relieve pain, but she doesn't know."
Charles stroked the clean armrest of the rosewood chair with his right hand, and tapped his fingers lightly.
A few seconds later, he smiled and said:
"That potion has a long shelf life. Give her a taste of the sweetness first. If her desire to survive is really strong, she will definitely agree."
"Give up an acquaintance in exchange for a chance to survive..."
