The Endless Shuttle

Jiuyuan Asuka was also infected by the emotion in the old man's words, and held his breath involuntarily.

"Human beings are always afraid of death, and the ancestor is no exception. He was not frightened into a coma by the female devil, but as if grasping a life-saving straw, he wanted to extend his life with the help of extraordinary power."

"Maybe it's not worth mentioning that humans are not worth mentioning. The demon god who found it interesting easily agreed and chose to make a contract with the ancestors of the Jiuyuan family."

"The content of the agreement is two. One is that she will extend the ancestor's lifespan for thirty years, and let him maintain a youthful and healthy body before the end of life. Relative to the blood of the ancestors, they must offer worship to the demon god named "Father of Demons" . The second is that as long as the worship continues and sacrifices are made to the "father of all demons" in each generation, the person who made the sacrifice in the Jiuyuan family will be allowed to fulfill any wish. "

Hearing this, Jiuyuan Asuka frowned.

"Wait, Lord Patriarch. Are you sure you remember correctly?"

"I feel that there should be no signs of Alzheimer's disease, Asuka, what's wrong?"

"The logic doesn't make sense."

Asuka said.

"The statue in front of you is the "Father of Demons" you mentioned, right? Then the agreement allows the Jiuyuan family to offer sacrifices to it every generation to fulfill a wish. Why hasn't the Jiuyuan family ruled the world, or become a real ruler? If this wish is a bit heavy, according to the performance of the female demon god who can give life at will, there should be immortals in every generation of Jiuyuan's family. But as far as I know, apart from special abilities, everything else in the Jiuyuan family follows the birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings. "

"The demon god will not leave special loopholes. There is no such phenomenon of abuse of wishes, because the sacrifices are not accepted."

The old man closed his eyes.

"Only if the "Father of Demons" accepts the sacrifice, can the wish come true. Unacceptable sacrifices will naturally fail to achieve the true meaning of the agreement. "

"So the family sacrifice held every generation is the Jiuyuan family's gambling?" Asuka's mouth twitched: "If so, please allow me to question you and the ancestors, because this is simply too stupid."

"Haha, as expected of the most outstanding heir of the clan, the outspoken pride is the embodiment of the noble blood of the Jiuyuan family."

Patriarch Jiu Yuan smiled lightly.

"But Asuka, do you know why the Jiuyuan family is so obsessed with a family festival that has no successful precedent?"

"No one can resist the opportunity to make any wish come true."

Jiuyuan Asuka replied bluntly.

The old man nodded.

"Exactly. Wish, what a beautiful word. It makes people think of what it will be like if it succeeds."

Human desires are too numerous to count.

Even the legends of successful precedents left by the ancestors will make every generation unable to resist trying.

"You brought me here not only to tell me the details of the family sacrifice, but also to let me pass it on?" Asuka asked, "If I'm not mistaken, grandpa, you plan to hold a family traditional festival and offer sacrifices. Take a gamble on an almost impossible miracle?"

"Asuka, I'm really not reconciled..."

The old man's eyes became sharper.

"How can the hard work of nine generations be destroyed by those bastards at the headquarters? If you give me some more time and some more life, I will definitely be able to reverse the dead situation in front of me!"

"Is this your last struggle, grandpa..." Asuka sighed helplessly.

She was young and could not understand the mentality of the elderly.

"The life of a human being is a life of struggle. If I don't try all means, I can't feel at ease." The old man said, "Don't worry, Asuka, if the family sacrifice fails, I won't miss the glory of the past, and I will execute you and you immediately." Disband the Jiuyuan Financial Group for the future that the clansmen hope for."

Hearing these words, Jiuyuan Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn't want to use her ability on her blood-related grandfather, and it was a relief to be able to agree to it now.

In this way, without the Jiuyuan consortium, she can realize her dream of flying far away.

"Sorry, Asuka."

"Um?"

The sudden apology made the girl raise her head in doubt.

The moment he met the old man's eyes, cold sweat soaked Kuyuan Asuka's back.

Those cloudy pupils no longer contained human emotions.

Something is wrong! Did I overlook something?

Immediately, she realized a very serious mistake.

"...Grandpa." Jiu Yuan Asuka's voice gradually became colder: "I want to know, what are the sacrifices of family sacrifices in the past... What are they? It shouldn't be a sacrifice of livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep?"

The old man didn't answer.

But this attitude says it all.

"So that's the case, no wonder it is so strictly guarded to protect the secret."

The girl looked surprisingly angry.

"You guys would actually use members of the family as human sacrifices for some illusory miracle!"

"...Please forgive me, Asuka." The old man said slowly, "I shouldn't have used my own family, especially the direct line of blood, as a sacrifice. But you are the most powerful blood heir in the history of the Jiuyuan family, and I really can't resist The possibility. Grandpa wants to live."

"shut up!"

Asuka uses her innate strength.

Patriarch Jiu Yuan shook his head.

"Give up, the power of the Jiuyuan family's bloodline cannot be used here. The majesty of the father of all demons envelopes this grotto."

The old man clapped his hands lightly, and two tall women wearing masks came silently from the darkness, easily catching the bird that was about to escape.

Without the ability to speak, Jiuyuan Asuka is just a weak girl.

"Forgive me, Asuka."

Patriarch Jiuyuan said again.

Asuka looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar grandfather with disgust.

"Jiuyuan Zhenmu! In vain I have such respect and trust in you. For a glimmer of hope, you even took the life of your own granddaughter! You will definitely go to hell!"

"If I can obtain immortal life, hell is the other shore that I will never reach."

The old man stopped talking and gave orders to the two women.

"Let's do it."
