Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

203: The tenth bronze coffin, activated!“I’ve said my piece. If you agree, I’ll continue. If you disagree, I’ll still continue.” Yu Lei’s voice wasn’t loud, but there was no room for discussion in his tone.

“Heh heh, you’re really arrogant!” Demon Star Houqing sneered, then said to War God Xing Tian, who had been silent all along: “Hey, headless, say something!”

The other few lying in their bronze coffins rolled their eyes. Hou Qing, that fellow, was truly impolite!

A few seconds later, a muffled voice came from one of the bronze coffins: “If there’s no fight, don’t bother me!”

With a chuckle, a snicker came from one of the bronze coffins, though it was unclear which one.

Demon Star Houqing bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

“Who’s laughing at me?”

In the empty System Space, only more laughter responded to him.

“You… fine, fine, fine. I was originally worried you’d fall for the schemes of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, those two underworld fellows, which is why I warned you.

Since you’re not speaking, at worst, I’ll just accompany you into another slumber.”

After a long wait, Silver Spirit said faintly: “Everyone, let’s rest. Who knows if we’ve truly woken up, or if this is just an ethereal dream in our slumber? I’m tired, so tired, logging off.”

After a few sighs, everyone stopped speaking.

Demon Star Houqing lay in his bronze coffin, silently pondering.

As Song Zhong, his host, gradually completed the System’s tasks, Hou Qing could feel the Seal on him from the bronze coffin weakening.

Now, he could also do some things.

Since Shen Tu and Yu Lei, those two fellows, had already acted, wouldn’t he be at a huge disadvantage if he did nothing?

It seemed he also needed to talk to that boy, Song Zhong.

…

Song Zhong held the Reincarnation Mirror in his hand, and an indescribable power was transmitted through his arm into the bronze mirror.

Before long, an incredible scene unfolded: the Reincarnation Mirror seemed to have been thrown into a furnace.

The originally cold metal began to heat up.

Song Zhong instinctively felt something was wrong, but the transmission of power had not yet ended.

The Reincarnation Mirror continued to heat up.

In the dark and cold hall, the scorching Reincarnation Mirror seemed out of place.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The hand Song Zhong held the Reincarnation Mirror with had already begun to emit white smoke, and a faint smell of roasted meat drifted into Song Zhong’s nose.

If it weren’t for the excessively gloomy surroundings, he would have thought he had entered a barbecue stall.

However, at this moment, the ability of Flesh White Bone activated on its own.

As soon as a layer of Song Zhong’s hand was charred, new tender flesh would immediately grow back.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The piercing sound echoed in the hall, and Song Zhong endured the intense pain.

The Reincarnation Mirror had turned completely red, and Song Zhong was a little anxious. He didn’t know how long this process would last, and he couldn’t be distracted by other things right now.

If Yue Huai and the others were to find him at this time, it would be dangerous.

Although those paper figures were blocking them, Song Zhong knew they wouldn’t be of much use.

Song Zhong sighed and said, “You two don’t need to worry about me. Put in more effort; time is running out!”

The surrounding gloom seemed to have heard Song Zhong’s words, and an even stronger power poured into the Reincarnation Mirror.

Feeling the influx of that power, Song Zhong laughed wildly.

“That’s right, just like this! Hahaha, again, more violently!”

Song Zhong’s eyes were bloodshot, and the Qi around his body surged again.

His clothes flapped loudly, and his tied hair scattered, leaving him disheveled. He looked mentally unstable.

The temperature of the Reincarnation Mirror had reached a terrifying degree; even with the terrifying recovery ability of Flesh White Bone, Song Zhong’s entire arm had turned to charcoal.

Just then, the familiar System prompt sounded.

“Detected Sacrifice Task: Sacrificing the Fengdu Great Emperor’s Origin Magic Treasure, the Reincarnation Mirror, can yield 5000 Sacrifice Points!”

How much?

5000 points?

Song Zhong was startled. He hadn’t expected this item to yield so many Sacrifice Points.

However, upon closer thought, this item was formed from the Fengdu Great Emperor’s Reincarnation Law.

Although the Reincarnation Law had been shattered and partially stolen by death gods from other Systems, this was still the Law power of this world.

It was a necessity for becoming a god.

Moreover, the Reincarnation Law held immense weight in any mythological System.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be Ranks within the gods themselves.

And what Shen Tu and Yu Lei wanted Song Zhong to do was to first refine this Reincarnation Mirror to a sacrificable state, and then, through sacrifice, claim this Reincarnation Law for himself.

In return, Shen Tu and Yu Lei helped Song Zhong forge a forbidden item, or rather, a Magic Treasure would be a more fitting term.

The Great Compassion and Great Grief Rescue Banner!

Just by its name, one could tell it was a flag.

It was the one Zhao Kongcheng and Han Shaoyun mentioned, the one used to sacrifice disobedient ghosts.

Birth, old age, sickness, death, meeting those one resents, separation from loved ones, not getting what one desires, and the blazing of the five aggregates.

Humans are entangled by these eight sufferings from birth, so living is actually a vexation, a suffering.

Therefore, since I Transmigrated to this world, I should help the people of this world find relief from suffering and attain happiness.

I’m quite kind, aren’t I!

Thinking of this, Song Zhong smiled, a very happy smile.

“System, sacrifice for me!”

“Wind Scythe!”

Clang!

A sound of wind rang out, and Song Zhong’s other arm was cut open by a wind blade, leaving a large gash.

After entering the hall, Song Zhong had dispelled his Zombification state.

Bright red, hot blood directly splattered onto the scorching, crimson Reincarnation Mirror.

Heat meeting heat produced plumes of thick smoke.

A blood-red mist descended once more.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful sacrifice! You have gained 5000 Sacrifice Points. Your current remaining Sacrifice Points are 9639.”

Enough, I finally have enough!

At this moment, Song Zhong couldn’t care about anything else; his consciousness directly immersed itself into the System Space.

The System Space was quiet, completely devoid of the previous noisy.

The faith tombstone still floated in the air, without any abnormalities.

He stumbled to the last bronze coffin.

Song Zhong ripped off his charred right arm. Although blood Qi rose from the wound, the flesh at the wound quickly surged.

Before long, a new arm grew out.

Song Zhong flexed his new arm, and after confirming there were no side effects, he placed his fresh arm in front of the last bronze coffin.

“System, activate for me!”

Activating the last bronze coffin required 5000 Sacrifice Points.

If he wanted to extract an ability, he didn’t know how many more it would take.

Buzz!

Just as Song Zhong spoke of activating the last bronze coffin, the entire System Space suddenly began to vibrate, as if an earthquake had occurred.
