Chapter 264: Illusion

Chapter 264: Illusion

Clang! Clang! Clang! A dull bell chime sounded from outside. The sound was bright and clear, not at all like it came from the water.

As the bell chime sounded, Heath suddenly felt something strange behind him. Then, a voice suddenly sounded behind him. It was the voice of a boy. The voice was cheerful and full of expectation.

“Father, the Sea God Bell is ringing. The Blessing Ceremony of the high priest is about to begin!”

Heath turned his head and saw a little boy wearing a burlap shirt behind him. The boy’s bright eyes were looking out of the window and he shouted excitedly.

“Spirit body?!”

Heath and Nina spoke in unison. The sudden appearance of the little boy made them both feel the unique soul fluctuations of a spirit body.

But as soon as he finished his words, Heath denied this guess.

‘No, that’s not right.’

Although the boy’s body had the unique soul fluctuations of the spirit body, there wasn’t the slightest reaction of spiritual power. After all, spiritual power meant thinking to the spirit body. Even if the spirit body was completely unconscious, it should have some spiritual power.

It didn’t have any spiritual power at all, which meant that the spirit body no longer had any independent thinking, only the image in front of it. This image was also known as —

“Remnant soul image!”

This was a special phenomenon formed by remnant soul power, which was related to the rule of time. The remnant soul power would repeat some parts of the past of life, as if it was a constantly playing image.

Heath and Nina glanced at each other, not understanding why.

Nina said, “Why is there a remnant soul image here? Is it a coincidence? Or did someone use magic to record this?”

Heath said, “Look at what this soul recorded.”

At the same time, after the boy, the water rippled again and soon turned into a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked somewhat similar to the boy and should be his father.

The middle-aged man said with a slightly admonishing tone, “Be calm. You have to be solemn in front of Lord Sea God. I’ve reminded you many times!”

The boy stuck out his tongue and quickly said, “Oh, oh, okay. I’ll be solemn after the ceremony begins. I promise you, Father.”

After a pause, the boy said, “This time, the high priest is going to select Lord Sea God’s emissary. Father, do you think I’ll be chosen?”

“If only I’m chosen. Then I can go to Lord Sea God’s palace. At that time, I’ll definitely beg Lord Sea God to bring Mother back from the abyss. Then our family can be together again.”

The boy’s face was full of anticipation.

The middle-aged man smiled. “Pray. Lord Sea God will hear you.”

“Alright, let’s go. The ceremony is about to begin.”

Speaking up to this point, the middle-aged man held the boy’s hand and walked out of the door.

Looking at the two people who left, Nina seemed to have thought of something. She raised a finger to her lips and said, “Ceremony? Ceremony? Is this the Sea God’s sacrificial ceremony of Jewel City?”

Heath asked in puzzlement, “Sea God’s sacrifice?”

Nina explained, “That’s a kind of sacrifice that Jewel City regularly held. Selena seemed to be very keen on these activities when she ruled Jewel City.”

“Follow them out and see if you can see anything else.”

The two followed the father and son in front of them and quickly left the residential building. When they arrived at the street in front of them, the scene in front of them stunned them.

“The ritual is about to begin! The ritual is about to begin!”

“God of the sea, bless us!”

“I hope I’m chosen, I hope I’m chosen!”

The street that had been deserted a moment ago suddenly became lively in the blink of an eye.

On the street, people dressed in all kinds of clothes were bustling with activity. There were all kinds of beautiful carriages on the road.

The flow of people was endless, and the traffic was heavy. It was a bustling scene of prosperity, and there was no longer the slightest bit of desolation from before.

Heath opened his mouth and said, “This… is too exaggerated…”

It was normal for a soul remnant image to appear once or twice, but it was really unbelievable for it to appear in such a large area.

“Eh?”

At this moment, Heath seemed to have suddenly discovered something and looked in front of him in surprise.

At some point, the salty, wet, and resistant seawater that was everywhere disappeared without a trace. Now, it was as if Heath was physically on land, breathing in the fresh air that was like land.

Heath stretched out his hand and touched it. He then spread out his spiritual tentacles to sense it. After confirming that it was real, he could not help but be puzzled. “What is this? An illusion-type spell?”

Other than this, Heath could not find any other reason.

First, it was a large area of remnant soul images, and now it was an illusion-type spell… This place was really getting stranger and stranger…

“Quick, let me go. I want to go as a sacrifice. This time, I will definitely be chosen. Sea God Temple, I’m coming!”

“The one chosen will only be me!”

People came from all directions and headed in a certain direction. Their expressions were excited and elated, and their faces were filled with anticipation. It was obvious that this sacrifice was very important to the people in the city.

“Come, Heath, Let’s go and see what’s over there.” Nina urged.

Heath hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

There were so many soul remnants that it was obviously impossible for them to be formed naturally. In addition, there was such a large area of illusion magic here. Heath guessed that someone wanted to reveal some information.

What could it be?

With this curiosity, Heath squeezed into the crowd and followed the crowd to the distance.

After crossing two streets, Heath soon followed the crowd to a square.

It was a huge square that was as big as several football fields. In front of the square was a tall and big palace, and at the gate of the palace was a high viewing platform.

At this moment, thousands of residents came from all directions and gathered in this square.

“Has the ceremony started? has the ceremony started? I’m not late, am I? Tell me, I haven’t missed the opportunity to become an emissary of the Sea God, have I?”

“You haven’t missed the ceremony, but I will be the only one who becomes an emissary. You have no chance, hahaha!”

“Is the priest not out yet? He should be out soon, right?”

Everyone whispered to each other and looked at the palace in front of them with pious and excited eyes, as if they were waiting for something.

The wait didn’t last long. Not long after the 13th bell rang…

Da da da… A series of footsteps sounded.

Then, several figures walked out from the long tunnel behind the open door of the palace.

As these figures walked out, the crowd instantly cheered…
