"Prayer Technique is a kind of ethereal ritual... Make a wish, then wait for 'cause and effect' to take its price, and wait again for the wish to come true. In this process, the caster can do nothing but wait."
It sounded very much like a scam.
How could such a thing exist in this world?
Make a wish, do nothing... Just wait for it to come true.
It's like... a sacrifice.
Gu Shen suddenly thought of this word, and then his pupils contracted slightly, realizing that the so-called Prayer Technique was essentially a ritual. And the "Protectors" passed down through the Li family over generations were the sacrificial offerings that changed over hundreds of years; they nurtured that ethereal wish with their lives and energy.
If the Prayer Technique was false, then these Protectors... were all fools.
If the Prayer Technique was true, then they were all madmen!
