Chapter 507:

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Heng pondered over Philip’s memories. According to Philip’s memories, he was undoubtedly a lucky person.

After he came to Hechi Star, he had been wandering around the ancient ruins all year round, searching for all sorts of powers left behind from the ancient times.

In common sense, his actions would only lead to a quicker death. After all, those ancient ruins were all terrifying forbidden areas that would devour humans. Staying in them all year round was equivalent to being accompanied by danger all year round. One could imagine the degree of danger.

However, Philip was fine. Not only was he safe, he even obtained a secret treasure from ruin more than a hundred years ago. That secret treasure was none other than the ruin where the Black King was once worshipped.

Philip had obtained many things from the treasure. Among them were the ancient book in front of him and the stone tablets placed in the palace.

A large amount of information surged into Chen Heng’s mind. A moment later, Chen Heng opened his eyes again and looked in front of him. In his hand lies the ancient book. At this moment, it was emitting a faint golden glow, giving off a faint burning feeling.

Chen Heng glanced at the book, then casually pulled it open, revealing the contents inside. After opening the ancient book, the contents were written in some very ancient and unique characters. Chen Heng did not know this type of character, nor could he understand its meaning.

But it did not matter. Chen Heng could not understand, but Philip could. After obtaining Philip’s memory, Chen Heng was able to decipher the meaning of this unique writing.

“A sacrificial ceremony?”

After carefully flipping through it for a moment, Chen Heng frowned as he looked at the ancient book in front of him. He was a little surprised. This ancient book recorded nothing else but a sacrificial ceremony.

A large portion of the content was used to praise the so-called Black King. From the looks of it, it was no different from the words carved in the stone palace.

Chen Heng continued to read, and then he realized the difference. In the ancient book, except for the first half, which was full of praise for the Black King’s achievements and greatness, the rest was a unique secret method.

“The Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony…”

Standing on the spot and closing the book in his hand, Chen Heng slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, the so-called Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony appeared.

The Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony, this secret technique was the greatest proof of Philip’s rapid rise to become a powerhouse. This secret technique explained how to set up the altar and array, offer the sacrifice, and then obtain the power feedback.

These descriptions gave Chen Heng an inexplicable sense of déja vu. ‘Wasn’t that what had happened on the altar outside? The members of the Red Lotus Society had offered sacrifices and then obtained feedback, baptizing themselves and making them stronger.

According to Philip’s memories, after he had obtained the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony, he had collaborated with his two companions who had discovered the Black King’s ruins and established the Red Lotus Society together, using the power of sacrifice to rope in various dignitaries, they had used

this opportunity to nurture their powerhouses and had gradually reached this stage.

In reality, he was also the main controller of the Red Lotus Society. Together with the other two elders, he was one of the higher-ups of the Red Lotus Society.

In the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters, Philip was the most respected person. He wanted to obtain Gunali because he had taken a liking to the powerful bloodline in Gunali’s body. He hoped that by sacrificing Gunali, he could obtain even greater power and surpass the other two elders in one go. He

wanted to become the only master of the Red Lotus Society.

After understanding the cause and effect, Chen Heng stood where he was and could not help but fall into deep thought. The effect of the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony was very straightforward. It gave Chen Heng a feeling that he was very familiar with it.

In the World of Gods, the high and mighty gods had given him the divine art of sacrificial ceremony to feed his own power back to the body of the sacrificial ceremony. Wasn’t this also the method used?

However, unlike the Black King Sacrificial Ceremony, real gods could accurately sense their believers. As long as they were in the same world, no matter where they were, they could accurately sense the traces of their believers.

However, the Black King Sacrificial Ceremony still needed to build altars and magic arrays to establish a connection. What it needed was not the power of faith but all kinds of sacrifices.

From the level, the Black King Sacrificial Ceremony was undoubtedly much worse. The so-called Black King, even if he was really the king of this world, could never be compared to the gods in the World of Gods. There was no comparison at all. But this did not hinder the value of the Black King Sacrificial

Ceremony.

The gods could receive faith and obtain the power of faith by relying on the god’s extremely powerful nature and power. However, this was not the case with the Black King Altar.

As long as the altar was built and sacrifices were offered, anyone could receive feedback without any barriers. Without a doubt, this greatly reduced the requirements. This was very useful.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Heng thought of the various uses of the black king sacrificial ceremony and where he could make use of it. After a long while, he came back to his senses and walked to the side.

‘When he reached the bathroom, a mirror was placed there. As Chen Heng walked closer, the mirror showed his current appearance. It was the image of a thin old man.

He was wearing the Red Lotus Society’s long robe. His face was cold and stern, and he looked dignified without being angry. It was a far cry from Chen Heng’s own image.

However, Chen Heng didn’t mind. Looking at his image, Chen Heng nodded, then turned around and walked out. Chen Heng planned to use this identity for a while.

At the moment, Chen Heng’s own body was still lying in the Golden Dragon Tree, using the Golden Dragon Tree’s enormous vitality to nourish it. At least for a long period of time, Chen Heng did not have a body and could only use his true spirit to walk.

Chen Heng was used to this, but it was not convenient. Since he had Philip’s body now, he could use it as well. Although Philip’s body was old, it was only on the surface.

‘As a powerhouse that was about to hit the Fifth Rank, Philip’s lifespan was still very long, far from reaching the age of old. His aging was mostly just a disguise. In reality, this body was extremely powerful, not inferior to any Fourth Rank existence.

However, with regard to this strength, Philip was not able to display it well. In Chen Heng’s hands, though, it was a different concept. He was capable of unleashing the strength of a peak Fourth Rank or even Fifth Rank using this body.

Using it, for the time being, was not bad. Of course, compared to the strength of this body, what Chen Heng valued more was the many resources and connections this body possessed.

In the past, the Red Lotus Society had used the Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony to win over many nobles and experts. The sacrificial ceremony was an existence that only needed sacrifices to strengthen itself steadily. To a certain extent, it was very attractive.

Those noble families and experts who did not have much lifespan would be willing to pay a lot of things for a baptism. Under such circumstances, the Red Lotus Society had taken root on Hechi Star for more than a hundred years and won over a large number of experts.

And these people were all resources. If Chen Heng killed Philip and threw away his identity, then these things would be wasted. And now that he had picked up Philip’s identity and continued to use it, he could naturally continue to use the things that originally belonged to Philip.

To Chen Heng, these resources were of great use. With these resources, it was much more convenient for Chen Heng to achieve what he aimed. Similarly, some things that were not suitable to be done through the Oriel family were very suitable to be done through the Red Lotus Society’s network.

Chen Heng walked out of the room and arrived in the outside world. Everything in the outside world was so bright. The sun shone on the earth, illuminating the surroundings with a golden color.

‘When the light spread, Chen Heng looked at the scenery in front of him and could not help but smile. However, his smile scared the servants beside him quite a bit.

With a bang, a few servants beside him immediately fell to the ground. Their heads were tightly connected to the ground, and they were already kowtowing non-stop.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be terrified. Chen Heng looked at them and was inexplicably a little speechless. From the looks of it, the previous Philip was really too powerful in the hearts of these people, so much so that he only smiled, and these people all had such a big reaction.

“Get up.”

Chen Heng secretly shook his head, and then he took a step forward and walked out. When he walked out of the manor where he lived, a figure was already waiting outside.

It was a young man who also wore a Red Lotus Society robe. He was standing outside Philip’s manor. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

“Elder Philip.”

Standing in front of the Manor’s Gate, the young man saw Chen Heng walking over. His face immediately showed respect.

“Kerry, what are you doing here?”

Chen Heng walked to the gate of the manor, looked at the young man in front of him, and said lightly, “If I remember correctly, you should have been by your teacher’s side recently?

“Why are you here all of a sudden?”

“Respected Elder Philip…”

‘The young man named Kerry had a respectful look on his face. At this moment, he looked at Philip in front of him, and his expression remained low, maintaining his humility. He did not dare to stop at all. “Mr. Delia has already rushed here.

“Lhave also come with my teacher.”

“Your teacher has also come?”

Chen Heng stood on the spot and listened to Kerry’s words. He smiled. After a long while, he restrained his expression and asked coldly, “Where is he?”

Kerry’s teacher was another elder of the Red Lotus Society. He was also one of the three members who had founded the Red Lotus Society together with Philip.

However, even though they were all elders of the Red Lotus Society, from Philip’s past memories, the relationship between Philip and the other two elders did not seem to be very harmonious.

This was very normal. After all, from what he saw on a daily basis, he could understand that the so-called Red Lotus Society was actually a cult. As for the members of the cult, it was strange that they could be friendly with each other.

In the past, Philip and the other two elders had disagreed on many things. Therefore, even though they were both elders of the Red Lotus Society and were in charge of part of the power of the Red Lotus Society, they rarely met each other.

It was extremely rare for them to suddenly come to Philip’s residence like this. There were probably other problems. If it was the original Philip, he would probably be on guard at this moment.

However, Chen Heng did not care. He only asked with interest, “Then where is your teacher?”

“Mr. Delia is currently waiting for Elder Philip in the office…”

Standing in front of Chen Heng and listening to his words, Kerry lowered his voice even more. At this moment, he said respectfully, “He seems to have something to discuss with Elder Philip.”

“Is that so? Then what are you waiting for?”

Chen Heng’s face was cold and stern. He maintained Philip’s usual style, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he said this.

After saying this, he ignored Kerry in front of him. Instead, he directly turned around and walked towards the office. His actions were very fast. Very soon, he left Kerry there.

Kerry stood up slowly and looked at Chen Heng, who was walking forward. He looked like he was going to look for Delia. He wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief.

From the looks of it, he was under a lot of pressure when facing Chen Heng. After all, Philip was one of the three most powerful elders in the Red Lotus Society. His usual style could also be said to be powerful.

No one in the Red Lotus Society would not feel pressured to face such an elder. Moreover, he knew clearly in his heart that he had come to Philip’s residence this time with malicious intentions.

Knowing this, Kerry was naturally nervous, afraid that he would be crushed to death by Philip if he was not careful. Fortunately, it seemed that his luck was not bad. He did not anger Philip and still managed to keep his life.

He could not help but wipe the sweat off his body and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then, he followed Chen Heng’s figure and slowly walked forward.

From the road in front of him all the way to the front, there was another building. The office of the Red Lotus Society was located in the middle. When Chen Heng walked into this office, there was already someone waiting inside.

It was a fat man who looked very strong. Compared to Philip, this man looked much younger. He was only in his early forties, and his figure was very plump. He looked very strong.

At this moment, he was sitting on a wooden chair. He looked like he had been sitting there for a while. Hearing footsteps outside, he immediately turned around and looked at Chen Heng.

“Philip, my dear friend.”

He stood up and looked at Chen Heng in front of him. A bright smile appeared on his face as if he was Philip’s old friend, ready to come up and give him a hug.

“Forget it.”

Chen Heng looked at the fatty in front of him and said coldly. The person in front of him was the other elder in the Red Lotus Society besides Philip. His name was Delia. He was one of the people who had explored the ruins together with Philip and established the Red Lotus Society together.

“Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

Chen Heng looked at Delia in front of him and said calmly, “If I remember correctly, we seemed to have an agreement back then. If there’s nothing else, don’t set foot on other people’s bases.

“It’s still a long time before the next meeting. Why have you come here this time?”

“Philip, my friend.”

Delia did not think much of Chen Heng’s cold attitude. He kept his bright smile on his face. “I heard that the Princess of the Oriel family has already been in your hands…”

The moment he opened his mouth, he immediately revealed his motive.

“The news got out very quickly…”

Looking at Delia in front of him, Chen Heng was also a little surprised.

According to Philip’s memories, the decision to capture Gunali was made by Philip alone. From the beginning to the end, Philip was the only one in charge. And now, in less than half a day, Delia already knew the news. This was obviously not something that Philip had informed Delia.

With Philip’s personality, if he really captured Gunali, he would probably want to keep it for himself. How could he let others come and share it with him?

Obviously, the people around Philip were not as reliable as he thought. Many of them might have been bribed by others. Of course, it was the same in reality. Besides Delia, there were also people that Philip had arranged to be used to deliver messages.

However, in comparison, the other party’s actions were still a little too fast.

“So what if it is?”

Chen Heng looked at Delia in front of him. After a moment of silence, he spoke again. If it was the original Philip, he would definitely not admit it at this moment. He would firmly deny it to give the other party a chance.

However, at this moment, Chen Heng admitted it right away. Sitting on the wooden chair and looking at Chen Heng in front of him, Delia was a little surprised. It was as if he did not expect him to agree so directly.

“The Princess of the Oriel family, this is a big fis]

He looked at Chen Heng in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, “If I remember correctly, it has been a long time since the Oriel family had a person with such a strong bloodline in the past hundred years.”

“So what?”

Chen Heng glanced at him and said casually, “I caught the person. What does it have to do with you?”

“Originally, there wasn’t any. But since we’re already here, then according to the agreement we made before, we should all have the right to enjoy the sacrifice, right?”

Delia smiled. There was a kind smile on his fat face as if he was discussing business.

“That being said…”

Chen Heng glanced at him and revealed a playful expression. “But when you were secretly tributing your sacrifices, you didn’t seem to think about me, right?”

“You don’t have to say anything without evidence.”

Delia shook his head and denied it. He wanted to say something else. Looking at the other party’s expression, Chen Heng understood that if there were no accidents today, the other party would definitely stay here until he agreed to the start of the ritual.

“I’s not impossible for you to participate in the ritual.”

He looked at Delia and suddenly spoke.

“Don’t be too heartless.

In front of him, listening to Chen Heng’s words, Delia subconsciously wanted to continue persuading him, but as he spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. “What did you say just now?”
