Laugh at my lack of gods in China? I awaken billions of gods at the beginning

Chapter 731: Fighting with Gods, the Fun is Endless

At the same time, as Sun Xing finished speaking, the crowd gradually became agitated.

"This, this, this, do we have to pay such a heavy price?"

"Hiss, but...but the God's blessing ceremony in previous years was not like this."

"We need to offer a sacrifice..."

"..."

People were nervous and whispering.

However, there were also some people in the crowd who looked fanatical. Whenever they heard people around them questioning the God-given ritual, they would immediately shout loudly.

Without exception, when these people looked at the tall gilded statue, their faces were filled with piety and reverence.

Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Sun Xing straightened his clothes and said loudly, "Okay, the God-granted ceremony is important, and we can discuss the other trivial details later."

"Now that the God's messenger has awakened, how can we let the honorable God's messenger wait any longer?"

"Let's put it this way. From now on, my subordinates will call out names from the roster. If a family is called out, then that family will provide the sacrifice this time."

As he spoke, Sun Xing winked at someone in the crowd.

Among the dark crowd, there was a small group of people whose clothes were obviously different from those around them.

They look very much like the servants of ancient Daxia.

This scene fell into Chu Yun's eyes, and Chu Yun understood it immediately.

Sun Xing is the lord of this town, and those people dressed as servants are the subordinates of the lord's mansion.

that's the truth.

A group of officers immediately stepped forward, and one middle-aged man respectfully handed Sun Xing a thick roster.

Obviously, people who come to worship this time, whether they are rich or ordinary people, will register in advance.

This is also for the convenience of management, and it can also record the number of sacrifices offered by each family.

Generally speaking, after each divine gift ceremony, the City Lord's Mansion would select the family with the greatest contribution from the roster.

Even in this divine ceremony, these families were not the lucky ones chosen by God's messengers.

But next time, because of this contribution, there will be a greater chance of being chosen by God's messenger.

To put it simply, this roster is like an assessment record.

Whoever has higher achievements has a better chance of becoming the lucky one.

Of course, there is more room for maneuver here.

To put it bluntly, it is a time to compete in financial resources, material resources, and power.

At the same time, it can also stimulate people to offer sacrifices more actively in every divine ceremony.

After all, whoever gives more has a greater chance of becoming a lucky person in his or her family.

It is precisely by relying on this privilege that Sun Xing can always maintain firm control over the town.

Just because the roster is under his control, he can put anyone's name at the front whenever he wants.

Even with a stroke of the pen, the sacrificial offerings from one family could be transferred to the name of another family. It was a simple and easy matter.

Because of this, Sun Xing's family, relying on this privilege, can be said to be the supreme existence in the city.

No family or individual dared to disobey the decision of the Sun family.

But this time the situation is a little different...

Sun Xing slowly opened the roster and his eyes swept across the densely packed names on it.

At times like this in previous years, the Sun family would take advantage of the privileges of the God-granted rituals to make a fortune.

Anyway, the roster is in the hands of his Sun family, and it says how much each family sacrificed, and that is the number.

His pen can be said to determine everyone's life!

But at this moment, Sun Xing was in a dilemma.

After all, in this God-given ceremony, the awakened messenger of God actually demanded a human sacrifice in public!

In other words, one word from Sun Xing now can decide a person's life or death!

This made Sun Xing, who was used to gaining some benefits from it on a daily basis, a little hesitant.

After all, human life is at stake.

This kind of situation has happened in history. There have been similar incidents in the biographies of the ancestors of the Sun family.

Thinking of this, Sun Xing no longer hesitated.

The complex look in his eyes flashed away, replaced by a cold and indifferent look.

no way.

Don't blame me if you die.

Since ancient times, the people have never fought against officials, let alone against gods!

The words of God's messenger are the supreme decree.

You have been eaten alive and your hearts have been ripped out, all because of the demands of the messenger of God.

If you die tragically and become a wandering ghost, if you want revenge, you should look for the messenger of God, don't blame my Sun family.

I, Sun Xing, can't do anything about this and can't save you!

Sun Xing's heart hardened. After taking a deep breath, he immediately said loudly: "Next, all the families named will be eligible to become sacrifices to the envoy of God!"

"This honor is rare, it's a great thing that will make our ancestors' graves smoke!"

"You guys, just be happy."

"Lin Xi from the Lin family..."

"The Wang family..."

"..."

Soon, Sun Xing began to call the roll.

"Great, great! My Wang family is lucky enough to be the sacrifice! My daughter, you are blessed! You have brought honor to our Wang family!"

As Sun Xing called out the names, the crowd quickly became chaotic.

The families whose names were called were immediately excited, with their members cheering and looking extremely honored.

The people nearby, when looking at this family, also showed envy and jealousy on their faces, as if being able to become a sacrifice for the messenger of God was the greatest honor in their lives.

Even...even the little girl who was pushed out by the tribesmen, a timid little girl, her...her face was flushed with excitement.

The little girl is not very old, probably only in her teens.

She had never seen such a big scene before, and she had never imagined that one day she would be chosen by God's messenger.

She was a little scared and a little uneasy, but when she heard the cheers of her family members beside her, the fear in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

Instead, joy spread, as if at that moment, she really became the pride of the whole family.

It was the first time that the little girl saw her parents’ eyes full of pride and honor for her.

Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but straighten her back, like a victorious little general, enjoying people's attention.

However, among the crowd there are people with such fanatical beliefs, there are also some people with different ideas.

A man in plain clothes heard Sun Xingnian coming to his house.

The man's pupils shrank and his expression changed, as if his soul had been taken away in an instant, and he stood there in a daze.

He was originally unknown and would be inconspicuous among the crowd.

This is indeed the case. Their family is just an ordinary one in the city.

I don't dare to cause trouble on weekdays, and I live cautiously...

"Dad, the city lord has called our house."

"me……"

Just as the man was in a daze, a girl next to him reached out and pulled his sleeve.

The man suddenly woke up and looked back subconsciously.

Then he saw his daughter, a girl of only sixteen, her face pale, her eyes trying hard to hide the uncontrollable fear.

Pretending to be calm, she smiled gently at him.

"Dad, then...then I'll go first."

The girl's voice was very soft, and her tone was trembling when she spoke.

The man could sense that although his daughter was smiling, she was not happy at all.

Her little hands, which were clutching her sleeves, were trembling subconsciously.

She must have been terribly frightened.

Yes, who wouldn't be afraid when facing death?

The corners of the man's eyes twitched rapidly, and he suddenly found it difficult to control his expression.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy for his daughter or sad.

Mingming's education from childhood to adulthood has taught him that being a sacrifice to God's messenger and being chosen by God's messenger is the highest honor for a person or even a family.

But why do I feel such a pain in my heart?

"Dad, the city lord said that this is the highest honor."

The girl seemed to have sensed her father's hesitation.

She forced a smile: "Dad...actually I...I'm not afraid."

"Besides, I am lucky enough to be a sacrifice. For you, me, and our family, this is a great thing that will bring prosperity to our ancestors."

"Our family should be so happy!"

The girl comforted her father, suppressed her reluctance, and gently released her hand that was holding her father's sleeve.

But this slight action was like the last straw that broke the man's back.

When he realized his daughter's intention to let go, he almost instinctively reached out and grabbed her little hand.

The hesitation on his face completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a feeling of distraught and confusion.

"Happy? Why should I be happy?"

"I... you are my only daughter. Anyone in my family can be sacrificed, but you!"

The man was trembling all over and muttering to himself.

As he spoke, the confusion on his face suddenly faded away, and he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, without waiting for the girl to react, the man turned his head and looked in the direction of Sun Xing.

"My lord, my lord!"

"I, Mu Xuan, am willing to be the sacrifice for my daughter!"

"Yes, yes, I, Mu Xuan, am the most suitable candidate. Sir, you still remember me, right? I am Mu Xuan, who gave up the God-given place to my sister twenty years ago!"

Mu Xuan...

The man's voice was very loud. He almost used up all his strength to shout, fearing that Sun Xing couldn't hear him.

As Mu Xuan finished speaking, the noisy scene gradually quieted down.

Everyone looked in the direction of Mu Xuan in surprise.

Sun Xing was also attracted by the movement from Mu Xuan's side.

Of course he knew Mu Xuan.

After all, his Sun family has held the privilege of the roster for generations.

It can be said that whoever has a greater chance of being chosen by God's messenger, enjoying the blessings bestowed by God, leaving this city, and going to the place of eternal life and bliss that everyone dreams of.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everything is decided by his Sun family.

But twenty years ago, an accident happened.

The messenger of God who woke up that time specially chose the Mu family.

The Mu family is not a wealthy family, but just an ordinary family in the city.

At that time, Mu Xuan, who was chosen, gave this God-given spot to his younger sister.

This incident shocked Sun Xing greatly when he was still a teenager at that time.

That year, Sun Xing, who had followed his father since childhood and understood one thing, felt the panic of his authority being challenged for the first time in his life.

It was because he had understood since childhood that his Sun family had held power for generations and ruled over the people in the city.

Everything should be under the control of his Sun family!

But unfortunately, this peer in front of him, who was of the same age as him, actually escaped the plan of his Sun family!

He is just a nobody, how could he be so lucky to be chosen by God's messenger?

Even this humble little person actually gave up this God-given place? !

No, no, you are just a nobody, how dare you do this?

Are you negotiating with the messenger of God?

Are you worthy? !

But the development of things once again greatly exceeded Sun Xing's expectations.

The messenger didn't say much, just looked at Mu Xuan meaningfully, and then took his sister away.

The messenger of God actually agreed to the request of this commoner!

This move shocked Sun Xing even more.

He simply couldn't imagine that in his eyes, the omnipotent fathers, uncles, and other big men, who all had to kowtow and fawn on him, would actually agree to the request of a nobody!

That is why Sun Xing has a particularly deep memory of Mu Xuan.

So when he heard Mu Xuan's name, Sun Xing immediately noticed Mu Xuan.

But now, both of them are no longer the young men they used to be.

"Mu Xuan..."

Sun Xing was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses.

"Mu Xuan, you are so outrageous!"

"What do you think a God-given ritual is? It's something you can bargain for!"

"You take this as a joke!"

Sun Xing's expression suddenly changed and became gloomy.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the Mu family's daughter up to me!"

The next moment, Sun Xing looked suddenly at the officers standing beside him.

The officers shuddered, then quickly followed the order and rushed towards Mu Xuan.

"Wait, don't hurt my father, I..."

Faced with a group of police officers as ferocious as wolves and tigers, Mu Xuan's daughter was forcibly dragged away before she could finish her words.

"You...you guys!?"

"Sun Xing!"

Mu Xuan was kicked to the ground by an officer.

But Mu Xuan didn't care about the severe pain in his abdomen at this time. He stood up suddenly and glared in the direction of Sun Xing.

"Sun Xing, do you think I can't see it?"

"Among the people you picked, is there any one from a wealthy family?!"

"Why aren't your Sun family members on the list? Is this a random selection? Or is it a malicious targeting?"

"I, Sun Xing, don't have a daughter. Your daughter is a daughter, but my daughter is not?"

"Glory, glory, why don't you, the Sun family, strive for this glory!"

Mu Xuan was completely crazy. He stiffened his neck with veins bulging on his neck and stared at Sun Xing with his eyes wide open.

"How dare you! How dare you! This guy is crazy and talking nonsense here!"

As for Sun Xing, seeing that Mu Xuan had exposed his little thoughts, his expression changed immediately.

Indeed, none of the sacrifices he selected came from a wealthy family in the city.

They are all selected from ordinary people’s homes.

But although this is a fact and people can see it, it cannot be exposed in public.

Whoever exposes it would be challenging the authority of the Sun family!

"Haha, you are such a filthy, dirty person."

At this moment, before Sun Xing could make any move, the statue, who had been looking like he was enjoying the show, suddenly grinned.

Immediately afterwards, the statue's gaze fell on Mu Xuan.

"Are you qualified to question this God's decision?"

"Mortals should worship the gods."

"Those who have unclean words will be killed without mercy."

A hint of ferocity and cruelty emerged in the eyes of the statue.

To provoke the Sun family is to question its authority.

This is something the deity absolutely cannot tolerate.

Mortals should worship the gods!

Mortals should kowtow to the gods and accept their grace and punishment humbly and devoutly!

And it seemed that even the statue had spoken.

Because of Mu Xuan's words, the scene where there were signs of unrest immediately became quiet.

Many ordinary people dared not speak out but just lowered their heads in silence.

Of course they knew everything the Sun family had done over the years.

They also have a deep understanding of this.

But since ancient times, the people have not fought against officials, let alone against gods.

This concept is like a mountain pressing on my body, so heavy that I cannot move it, and I dare not move it.

"Okay, Mu Xuan, you dare to question the messenger of God. You are lawless and reckless. I think you are crazy and tired of living!"

At the same time, with the words from the statue, Sun Xing straightened his back even more.

But Sun Xing didn't know that there was more than just the statue watching the show!

Just as he finished speaking, an irrelevant voice was heard from the crowd.

"Why, God cannot be questioned?"

"You, haven't you heard a word?"

"Fighting with God is a lot of fun."
