Chapter 939 - Reasons (2/2)
And beneath the surface of the sea, near the altar of skeletons, large batches of murlocs were still continuously being offered as sacrifices to enable the altar to grow larger and larger. The trident with two broken forks was glowing brighter and brighter.
A few elderly murlocs gazed at that trident, which was glowing with vigor, from afar, and their eyes reflected their relief.
“Soon! Very soon!”
“A god that truly belongs to us murlocs…”
“Our queen, you will return!”
Because of the pollution caused by the Lord of the Abyss, the entire surface of the sea was heavily obscured. Though more than 50 percent of the evil green fog had dispersed, even Sui Xiong had only noticed Yuslar, the Lord of the Abyss. He did not notice the existence of that altar at all.
This was the essence of the murlocs’ plan. They would sacrifice a large number of clansmen to summon the Lord of the Abyss, who would then attract the attention of everyone. This would be a good screen to cover up their real actions—this plan was made for them by the late God of Conspiracy.
Though the God of Conspiracy had fallen, many of the conspiracies that he had devised over the years did not fail following his fall. On the contrary, these plots were still in full operation or eventually launched.
The murlocs'”God-Making Plan” was one of the God of Conspiracy’s works.
This plan consisted of two key factors. The first was the right medium, and the second was the right opportunity.
In terms of medium, after the fall of the former Goddess of the Ocean, the remnants of that trident of the Sea King were seized by the God of Conspiracy. The divinity within this magical object was extracted by Sui Xiong and became the catalyst for the birth of the new generation of Goddess of the Ocean. But the noumenon of the magical object was not completely destroyed. The God of Conspiracy collected most of its shattered pieces and used some secret means to recast them. At this very moment, the shattered pieces became that long spear that was stuck into the altar of skeletons.
This thing retained most of the auras of many generations of former Goddesses of the Ocean. With it as the inducer infused with a large amount of vitality and belief, it was enough to unite the belief of the entire murloc race and create a whole new god.
Perhaps this god would be very weak, but backing her up would be the entire murloc race, the largest race on the Main Plane in terms of population. So long as she was given enough time, she would naturally grow up well.
What was more, when she appeared this time, she would be a god that truly belonged to the murloc race!
For this, the murloc race needed to prepare a large number of sacrifices. They also needed to find the right opportunity.
Of course, sacrifices were not the issue. The murlocs did not have much to boast of, but they were indeed wealthy in terms of population size. With eight to ten thousand murlocs dying to be used as sacrifices, the higher-ups of the murlocs did not even blink an eye.
But the problem lay with the right opportunity. The murlocs did not have a good reputation and had many enemies. If they wanted to create a god that belonged to them, they were bound to be attacked by swarms of enemies. They could only possibly succeed if they could find the opportunity that could attract the attention of their enemies, the opportunity that no one would ever notice.
And this great battle that affected the entire Main Plane and involved almost all the God Systems of the races, was the best opportunity!
