“For the bride and groom, every step of these two parts is extremely dangerous, especially the first part of the ceremony. Each segment of the three bows and nine prostrations results in a portion of their Qi Luck and lifespan being drained until they’re completely depleted,”

“As for the guests, there’s not much danger in the first part, but in the second part, their lives are at stake because their flesh and divine spirits will become food at the banquet!”

Qi Luck and lifespan can be drained?

Shocked, Su Nan recalled the previous three ancient temples where only Divine Souls were demanded for sacrifices by the Offering God Demons. Now, even intangible elements like Qi Luck and lifespan could be drained, highlighting the vast difference.

“As for what will happen after these two parts, no one knows because the people who have experienced these stages either died or ran away before they got to find out,”

After a pause, the Great Princess spoke solemnly, “Last time, I was the bride in the ceremony, and I almost died while struggling against the temple’s power.”

The bride?

Having listened silently, Su Nan finally got a rough understanding of this so- called Joyful Deity Temple, and his heart inevitably sank.

He couldn’t just run, but carrying out the ritual would result in his Qi Luck and lifespan being drained. He remained clueless as to how to break free of such a predicament.

“I do not know how you know in advance what we’ll encounter, but if it’s the Joyful Deity Temple, I advise you to take the same route back immediately,”

Once again, the Great Princess tried to dissuade him. She had been to the temple once and knew all too well the terror it possessed.

Su Nan remained silent, saying nothing, and turned his gaze back to the panel. “Continue foreseeing!”

“[A minute later, you awake and realize you’re lying on a stone bed. Mysteriously, you’re dressed in red festive clothes.]”

“[At that moment, a paper male child, about eight or nine years old, made from red paper, walks into the room and informs you that it’s time for the marriage ceremony.]”

“[You realize you’re no match for the paper puppet demon before you and there’s no traditional way to escape. You decide to use the Across the Heavens Shift technique.]”

” [The Across the Heavens Shift technique is used and you successfully escape from the temple, emerging on a small hill.]”

“[However, your actions have infringed some forbidden taboo. Instantly, you feel a horrifying presence advancing towards you.]”

” [Without hesitation, you use the Across the Heavens Shift technique three more times but to your disappointment, you cannot escape the terrifying presence.]”

“[You die.]”

He used the Across the Heavens Shift technique four times, each time covering roughly three thousand meters, yet he still ended up dead after fleeing over twenty miles!

The enemy was too powerful. Even using the Across the Heavens Shift technique was futile!

“Escaping won’t work unless I have a Teleportation Stone, just like the Great Princess did last time, to escape directly from the Divine Ruins.”

“Exiting the game should also solve the problem, but it’s uncertain whether I will still be targeted upon logging back in. I shouldn’t try this method unless absolutely necessary.”

“Right now, I can only consider other options. I wonder what will happen if I use the Spirit Descent technique to control my avatar to enter the temple.”

After the Spirit Descent, the avatar would not be a mere tool, but a bona fide Martial artist.”

If he could enter the temple under such conditions and still play the role of the groom, then that would be an opportunity for him.”

Perhaps after his avatar becomes the groom, he could recall his Divine Soul. This way, even if the avatar continues with the following rituals, it shouldn’t affect him.

After all, without the presence of a Divine Soul, the avatar is merely a tool, devoid of Qi Luck and lifespan.”

The foreseeing begins once more.”

The first three foreseeings were passed during a journey. It was only during the fourth foreknowledge that the so-called Joyful Deity Temple appeared in his avatar’s sight.”

“[After the Spirit Descent into the avatar, you’re ready to explore the temple before you.]”

“[Upon reaching the temple, you notice its festive decorations, suggesting an ongoing wedding.]”

” [In the grand hall, hundreds of lifeless Corpse Puppets and dozens of Soul-eating Demons sit like guests at several long tables, all watching your approach, awaiting your arrival.]”

“You did not avoid the temple and directly walked into it with your avatar. The moment you entered the temple, the divine soul inside your avatar fell unconscious.”

“After a minute, when your avatar woke up, you discovered that you had been dressed in a set of wedding clothes without knowing when.”

“You were not panicked, instead, your eyes showed pleasure. This was the outcome you desired.”

“At this time, an eight or nine-year-old male child, made from red paper, walked into the room and told you that the auspicious time has come and it was time for the wedding.”

“You did not think about escaping, instead, you followed the male child out of the room and, after a moment, you went to the grand hall under the guidance of the child.”

“You saw a woman wearing a wedding dress with a red veil over her face, led by another female child made from red paper, walking into the grand hall and standing next to you. In front of you was a statue of a goddess.”

“You knew that once the wedding ceremony was performed, your divine soul and lifespan would be drained. You did not dare to continue incarnating your divine soul in the avatar and tried to withdraw the divine soul.”

“However, when you were withdrawing your divine soul, you triggered an unknown taboo, and a terrifying force descended.”

“Unfortunately, your avatar was killed and returned to your body in the form of Technique’s Origin.”

‘ “You can not withdraw the divine soul halfway?”‘

Su Nan was disappointed, the first attempt was a failure.

Without the avatar, there was no need for foreknowledge next. Without a good plan, it was a dead end for his entity to continue to enter the temple.

“According to what the Great Princess said, the greatest danger is to become the groom and bride. I wonder if I can play the role of a guest?” With a little thought, Su Nan came up with another method, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

In his previous entries, he had always played the groom, to change the identity, the difficulty is undoubtedly great.

However, for him, it was not without solutions, it was just a few sacrifices to be made.

“There can not be two grooms in a wedding. I will let my avatar enter the temple first and play the groom. Then I can enter as a guest with my entity.”

“Then I can retrieve the divine soul from the avatar, at most, I am just going to lose an avatar!”

If the avatar were killed, it could be revived, but it would require a lot of strength and some time to gather again, similar to gathering life essence blood.

Although by doing so, he wouldn’t be able to use his avatar for the next two or three days, but it was nothing compared to being able to smoothly escape the temple.

Foreknowledge started again,

After wasting three foreseeings, his entity followed his avatar back to the Joyful Deity Temple.

“You know, once you enter the temple, you will either become the groom and bride, or a guest. Compared to becoming the groom and bride, it is much safer to be a guest. You plan to make the avatar the groom and your entity the guest.”

“Your divine soul incarnated in your avatar and marched straight into the temple. The moment your avatar entered the temple, your divine soul within the avatar fell unconscious.”

“A minute later, when your avatar woke up again, you found that it had been dressed in wedding clothes.”

“After confirming that your avatar had become the groom, your entity then started walking towards the temple.”

“The moment your entity entered the temple, your vision blurred momentarily. When it cleared up again, you were seated at a long table.”

“To your left and right were a man and a woman respectively, both with expressionless faces and a dull look. You knew you had successfully become a guest.”

“Soon, your avatar and a woman in a wedding dress, each being led by a male and female child made of red paper, walked into the grand hall.”

“You knew that once the wedding ceremony was performed, your divine soul and lifespan would be drained. You didn’t dare to continue to incarnate the divine soul onto the avatar and attempted to retrieve the divine soul.”

“However, at the moment of retrieving your divine soul, you triggered an unknown taboo and a terrifying force descended.”

“Unfortunately, your avatar was killed and returned to your body as the Origin of the Technique.”

Same situation as before happened.

The critical moment arrived, whether the death of the avatar had any impact on his entity was all in what followed!
