Chapter 598 His blood and soul power are the catalyst
Bai Jiu looked at Bai Qingjue on the round platform with curiosity: "He doesn't seem to be doing well."
Ye Qingshuang replied, "The sealing ceremony is led by him, so there's nothing we can do about it."
Upon hearing this, Baijiu's confusion deepened: "Why do you say that?"
Ye Qingshuang didn't say much, only saying, "You'll see when you keep watching."
"Okay." Baijiu responded without asking any further questions, simply gazing quietly at the people on the round platform.
Looking at the man's pale face, Bai Jiu felt a pang of sadness for some reason. But he didn't know the man. Was he having another episode of pitying people?
Thinking of this, Bai Jiu secretly glanced at Ling Yi, but found that Ling Yi was not looking at him. He quickly looked away and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
Although Ling Yi had been looking at Bai Qingjue, she immediately noticed someone looking at her. When she realized it was Bai Jiu, she was about to ask what was wrong when she saw Bai Jiu quickly look away.
Seeing his reaction, Ling Yi didn't ask any questions and continued watching Bai Qingjue's side.
Bai Qingjue sat cross-legged in the center of the circular platform, surrounded by five concentric circles of divine descendants dressed in white robes.
The first lap has eight people, the second lap has sixteen people, the third lap has thirty-two people, the fourth lap has sixty people, and the fifth lap has one hundred and twenty-eight people.
Including Bai Qingjue, there were a total of 249 people on the round platform.
Once everyone was ready, the sealing ceremony officially began.
Transparent tubular objects emerged from beneath the pedestal, their pointed ends piercing directly into the bodies of those on the pedestal and beginning to suck blood.
Fresh blood flowed into the circular platform through the tube. After the blood was absorbed, rings of runes appeared on the platform. After the runes appeared, Bai Qingjue took the lead, and everyone on the platform began to inject power into the platform.
As a continuous stream of power flowed into the platform, the originally dim runes began to glow. Then, those glowing runes flew off the platform and towards the white wall in front of them.
As one rune after another disappeared into the white wall, waves of power rippled outwards, spreading in all directions and beginning to reinforce the seal.
As the fog was reinforced, the white wall in front of them faded a little, but soon the fog thickened again and spread forward at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been provoked.
Seeing this, the gods' expressions turned grim, and Lei Wuming even mocked, "This seal is truly human-like; blood isn't enough, it also requires soul power."
Although the other deities remained silent, they also agreed with Lei Wuming's statement.
Upon hearing their words, Ling Yi used his divine sense to ask, "What do you mean?"
Tianyan said, "Reinforcing the seal requires the blood and soul power of the pure-blooded gods. They say that because they believe the seal is protecting Bai Qingjue, since they can kill Bai Qingjue once it is no longer needed."
This is also the main reason why the other gods tried to stop Mingguang from taking over Bai Qingjue's body.
Ling Yi asked, "When the seal was completed, did they know that reinforcing it would require the blood and soul power of a pure-blooded god?"
“Hmm.” Tianyan responded, “These are the words of the true god; they dare not gamble on them.”
Ling Yi said, "No wonder they've kept Bai Qingjue until now."
Just as Ling Yi and Tian Yan were talking, Bai Qingjue began to release her soul power. The soul power flowed down the tubular object on her body and landed on the round platform. After absorbing the soul power, the runes shone brightly and flew towards the white wall like a bolt of lightning, spreading out powerful forces and forcefully suppressing the counterattacking white mist.
As the runes carrying soul power landed on the white wall, streams of power rose from the Land of Vanishing Gods. These powers flew into the white mist, joining the external forces to reinforce the seal.
While others couldn't see what was happening behind the white wall, Ling Yi could see it clearly and asked Tian Yan, "What's going on here?"
Tianyan explained, "The seal on the Land of Divine Disappearance was laid down by all the gods together. Bai Qingjue alone could not strengthen such a powerful seal. His blood and soul power were just the catalyst, which could attract the power of the true gods to strengthen it together."
Tianyan said, "Without his blood and soul power as a catalyst, it is impossible to activate the power of the true god, and thus impossible to truly strengthen the seal."
"I see." Ling Yi said, "From this perspective, Bai Qingjue is indeed a crucial figure."
Before Tianyan could speak, Lingyi said again, "If the seal only requires the blood and soul power of a pure-blooded god, any god would suffice. Why is it Bai Qingjue?"
"Of all those true gods and gods, why was Bai Qingjue left out? What is his true purpose?"
