Then even if the strongest Saint is not stronger than the Deities, they shouldn't be too far off, shouldn't they? Otherwise, how could they capture and control the Deities?

Now he understands, the entities they worship may not necessarily be particularly strong, they may not even be stronger than the strongest Saints.

In Yu Ziqing's understanding, the worshipped entities are more like a key part of the sacrificial technique and ritual.

Through these worshipped entities, using sacrificial techniques or rituals, they achieve the most crucial ascent.

Even with sacrificial techniques and rituals, although they haven't sorted them out clearly, their bodies are honest when in use.

For particularly strong entities, they use sacrificial techniques, focusing on the sacrifice, sometimes even Blood Sacrifice.

Just like the Sacrificial God of those days.

Back then, among the many Deities, the Sacrificial God might not have been very strong, not even ranked.

But the divine name of the Sacrificial God had its uniqueness, making him the most suitable for the path of the Saint.

Yu Ziqing understood that the Sacrificial God matched the needs one hundred and twenty percent, in terms of hardware, software, and the effects presented, all top-tier.

Almost equivalent to Lake Tai Light.

And those with particularly strong combat power and destructiveness, akin to human-shaped black mushrooms.

One can't simply and crudely compare Lake Tai Light with human-shaped black mushrooms to say the latter is stronger.

And for well-controlled worshipped entities, they use rituals, treating them as special ritual materials.

Just like the plaque covered with red cloth on the Black Ship.

Almost equivalent to a barely counted supercomputer, incomparable to Lake Tai Light.

Thus, Fish Bone wants to resurrect the Sacrificial God.

They thought the Sacrificial God had vanished, and now they want to bring back the vanished Sacrificial God.

This time, they found Xi Yang, the "Remnant Saint," to unearth the person behind Xi Yang, to clarify where Xi Yang's legacy came from, with the ultimate goal being the Sacrificial God.

Another goal was for the giant shark beaten to death alive by Peel Skin master.

To find the Sixty-four-sided consumed by the giant shark.

Yu Ziqing thought they could trace all the way to Jinlan Mountain, their capability truly impressive.

Upon hearing Fish Bone's method of locating Jinlan Mountain, Yu Ziqing was speechless.

He never expected it was because of the Jade Tablet, due to Xi Yang being surrounded for spectacle.

The Sixty-four-sided indeed in his possession, no mistake.

Though no Remnant Saint, yet the Sacrificial God himself became a hungry ghost, also within his grasp.

They surely found the right target.

"What artifact are you searching for? Why seek this item?"

"Our currently worshipped entity has significant risks, if the ascent fails, or dies in some way, the Saint may transform into that indestructible Evil.

Just like the object unleashed previously by the High Priest to hunt the Remnant."

"You're mistaken, he's not a Remnant Saint, he's just in the deep sea, unaware having absorbed some aura, not even he knows."

"Impossible, no Remnant Saints remain in the deep sea." Fish Bone affirmed firmly.

"You have complete control over the deep sea? Complete understanding? Look at you, are all Saints so arrogant?" Yu Ziqing sneered.

Fish Bone's face tensed, respectfully bowing, his expression sincere and serious.

"You are correct, arrogance is the primary obstacle in surviving the deep sea.

The deep sea is vast, with too many changes, we dare not claim full understanding."

"Alright, continue."

"Transforming into Evil is a Saint's final home. Death is rather a good outcome.

To solve this issue, we've attempted changing worshipped entities over the years.

None have been suitable.

Some are safe, but they are too weak.

Hundreds of years ago, we encountered a great deep sea monster, estimating sufficient for young Saints to ascend to the Eighth Tier.

Unfortunately, slaughtered during that one's rampant killing spree."

Fish Bone gestured southward of Jinlan Mountain.

His fear of Han Dong was not without reason.

"Evil stems from the current sacrificial object, what about before?"

"According to the High Priest, aside from the Sacrificial God, others have various issues.

This current one, the most direct is transforming into Evil.

Acceptance is due to facing no major problems before becoming Evil."

Yu Ziqing exclaimed, these people are truly daring.

Transforming into Evil is a relatively acceptable cost?

"Release a bit of your power, let me feel it."

Fish Bone sensed briefly, here, his body's power was unusually honest.

Even overly honest, compacted, unmoving, lacking its usual arrogance.

Even attempting to mobilize it was incredibly difficult.

He pondered, stretched out his hand, forcibly mobilizing power to extend to his hand, then with a thought, his hand fell off, using flesh and blood, enclosing the power, handing it to Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing took the hand, wishing to say unnecessary.

But seeing Fish Bone's composed accepting look, he swallowed back his words.

Yu Ziqing could feel the power in the hand, seemingly yearning to escape back into Fish Bone's body.

The moment Yu Ziqing touched it, the power shrank within the hand, unmoving.

Yu Ziqing attempted to use Qi-Blood power to drive it out, with little effect, like forcing a hard clash.
