Chapter 1212 Worshiping the Source Altar

Popota clenched his fists. The strength he had not long ago and the extreme weakness he had now formed a strong contrast.

From the heart to the mind, from the body to the soul. That endless emptiness made him understand one thing.

Everything was over.

The tribe, the fire of worship... and my sister.

"I'm sorry." Popota murmured to himself, and images flashed through his mind. His eyes became hazy after these memories broke through the siege.

"Popota."

At this time, a sighing voice rang in his ears.

...

Angel didn't expect that he had just finished chatting with a sobbing young fire demon a moment ago, and now he came to Popota and heard crying again.

Popota heard Angel's call, raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and kept repeating in his mouth: "It's over."

"This is your choice itself, so you should have expected the ending." Angel sighed softly.

Listening to the voice in his ears, Popota's mind slowly woke up from the chaos. He glanced at Angel, his eyes dimmed:

"I know I'm doomed to die, but I just want to delay a little longer, I want to sacrifice Orusia to delay a little longer, I didn't expect to get such a consequence. I had expected that today's situation might happen, but I was arrogant and thought that I could control the situation."

"However, in fact, I didn't do anything."

The biggest illusion in his life is "I can".

When Bopota mentioned Orusia's body, Angel raised his eyebrows: "Do you still want to sacrifice Orusia's body now?"

Bopota smiled bitterly and shook his head.

When he wanted to use the descending objects to pray for the Lord of the Deep to come, and the other party ignored him at all, he already understood everything.

From beginning to end, he was actually played by the Lord of the Deep.

Even if he got Orusia's body and sacrificed it to the Lord of the Deep, he probably wouldn't get what he wanted. What's more, Orusia's body has been taken away by Angel.

"Making a pact with the devil is like conspiring with a tiger." Angel said calmly.

"I got a prophecy from my sister and thought I could turn from a chess piece into a chess player. Now I find that when I pray to the devil, I can't do anything..." Bopota raised his eye sockets, which were only a layer of skin left, and looked at Angel with turbid eyes: "Your choice is right. Never believe in the devil, and never use the descending objects."

Blood and tears mixed with sticky liquid flowed out of Bopota's eye sockets.

Angel just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Bopota raised his head and said: "Angel, can you do me a favor..."

"No." Angel refused without hesitation.

Bopota was stunned. He didn't expect Angel to refuse so decisively. In his mind, since Angel came to find him, it should have some meaning. If he wanted to refuse, why did he come again?

Or did Angel just come to laugh at himself with the attitude of a winner?

"You are still alive now. The abnormal energy has disappeared, and the bubble dream brought to you has ended. Return to reality, you are at least not dead yet. You can do anything you want to do by yourself."

"I am already a useless person. The magic source has cracked and there is no chance of healing. And the source fire..." Bobota glanced at Greywood in the distance and immediately got a roll of the eyes: "The source fire is gone, everything is over."

"Is the source fire important to the Baiyuan people?" Angel asked.

"Only the source fire can ignite the Baiyuan ancestral altar and leave a passable fire for the clan. The prophecy of the ancestors clearly stated that when the Baiyuan fire is rekindled, we can regain our glory. Therefore, the source fire is the spiritual pillar for our clan."

Angel nodded thoughtfully.

"I can give you the source fire." Angel pointed to his earlobe. The purple-white source fire sealed the soul of Orusia and could not be given to Bobota. But there is still a source fire in the flame mark in his earlobe.

Bopota looked at Angel in shock. Since Angel said he would not help him, why did he give him the source fire?

Angel did not explain his reasons, but just said: "Since you have the source fire, you should survive and light the altar of the source ancestor you mentioned. Also, you have to go find your sister in person."

How could Bopota not understand when he heard this? He had completely misunderstood Angel before. He did not come to laugh at him, but to encourage him to live in this way.

Bopota's eyes were filled with turbid tears, but this time it was because he was moved. If he was still in the Savage Cave, maybe he could become friends with Angel... but now.

"Thank you." Bopota's eyes were sad: "But even if I choose to light the altar of the source ancestor, I will still die."

Angel looked at Bopota, waiting for his explanation.

This matter actually concerns the core secret of the source worshipers. Bopota's eyes flashed with hesitation, not knowing whether to say it. After a long time, Bopota sighed: I'm going to die soon anyway, and if I die with these secrets, I can only bury them in the grave. It's better to tell Angel that he should be... trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Bopota slowly told a secret about the Baiyuan people.

The so-called ancestral altar worshiped by the source worshipers does not actually exist in the real world. Bobota himself does not know where it is. It is just the Tao. It exists in the thinking of every source worshipper. As long as he calms down and feels it, everything will happen. Source worshipers can all perceive this ancestral altar that exists in nothingness.

When Angel heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. He had read in books that they all said that there must be source fire in the settlement of source worshipers. This was also the reason why some wizards wanted to hunt down source worshipers. However, the source worshipers were killed in pieces, but no wizard found this so-called "source fire".

It turns out that the altar carrying the Source Fire is not in reality at all.

"Since the fire in the ancestral altar has gradually disappeared, it has become more and more difficult for worshipers to sense the ancestral altar. It is recorded in the books left by our ancestors that when the fire in the ancestral altar is burning, you can see it as long as you close your eyes. But now, to sense the ancestral altar, you need to use auxiliary rituals."

"The time required for the auxiliary ceremony is at least two days. This is why, after coming to this world, I did not light the source fire immediately." Popota's eyes were filled with sadness.

Auxiliary rituals can help worshipers find the location of the ancestral altar again.

After finding the ancestral altar, can it be lit as long as there is source of fire? The answer is no. If you want to send the source fire into the ancestral altar, you need to consume a lot of energy.

The total amount of energy consumed is very large, at least reaching the wizard level.

This is why Bobota contacted the Lord of the Deep and forcibly increased his strength. Firstly, it was to disrupt the situation in Rasudran, and secondly, it required strong strength to ignite the Source Fire.

This cannot be replaced by others, because only the source worshipers can perceive their ancestral altar.

"My magic source has been broken now, which is irreversible. If I want to ignite the ancestral altar, I don't have that much energy at all."

"So, the only way is to sacrifice yourself and use the flesh and blood of the worshiper to light the ancestral altar."

In other words, Popota will still die.

After Bobota finished speaking, he said to Angel: "Thank you for fulfilling my last wish. I am the only one left in the Baiyuan clan, so I have to do this."

"Also, although the collapse of my physical body has stopped temporarily, it will collapse again one day. Even if I survive, I can only live for one or two years at most, so I will choose to sacrifice myself. The only one I am sorry for is my sister. ...Angel, can you help me go see my sister and tell her that I still..."

Before Bobota could finish her sentimental words, Angel said expressionlessly: "No."

Then Angel said again: "I won't give you the Source Fire either."

Bobota was stunned. Wasn't the atmosphere good before?

…

The reason why Angel decided to hand over the source fire to Bobota was actually based on two considerations.

First, the source fire is very important to the worshipers. According to Popota, the source fire is the key to the continuation and survival of the worshipers. As for Dudolo, it is basically certain that he is a source worshiper, so Bobota lighting the source fire is actually good for Dudolo.

Second, Angel doesn’t want Popota to die, at least not within a short period of time. This was not because Angel was deeply moved by what happened to Bobota. Angel had said early on that if you make any choice, you must bear the consequences of failure. What's more, Bobota kidnapped him by force, and Angel had a bad impression of Bobota from the beginning.

But even so, Angel didn't want Bobota to die.

Because once Bobota dies, as a believer who has received the mark of the Lord of the Deep, his soul will return to the Deep Abyss and be controlled by the Lord of the Deep.

Once the soul of Bobota is controlled by the Lord of the Deep, everything that happens here will be known to the Lord of the Deep.

At that time, Angel will inevitably enter the sight of the Lord of the Deep, which is extremely dangerous.

This is the real reason why Angel doesn't want Popota to die. At least, before returning to the wizarding world, if Popota can't die, then don't die, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

As for killing Bobota and destroying his soul... Angel still can't do it. It's not that he can't do it, but that part of Bobota's soul is already in the hands of the Lord of the Deep. When Bobota dies, his soul will directly Arriving from the land of void souls to the deep abyss, he had no chance to destroy Popota's soul.

In this case, ensure that Popota survives.

Hearing that Bobota would die immediately if the ancestral altar was set on fire, Angel naturally rejected him without hesitation.

…

"Why?" Popota asked after being stunned for a while.

"Why give me hope and then let me..." Disappointment.

Angel looked at the absent-minded Bobota: "I said, you'd better survive."

"But lighting the ancestral altar is my only wish!" Bobota growled.

"Is it really the only one?"

Bobota paused, a picture flashed in his mind, and he seemed to hear his sister's innocent laughter in his ears.

It was his obsession to light up the ancestral altar.

But protecting his sister is also what he wants.

"Don't think that just because you dedicate yourself to lighting up the ancestral altar, everything you have done can be erased." Angel paused: "Besides, you are not the last person of the Baiyuan clan. You still have a life left and can go there in person. See the flowers and birds."
