Chapter 45: Gathering Wishes Sacrifice (End)

In the silent streets at midnight, demons gathered in front of the wooden stage, where the scenery resembled the backdrop of a ghost story, yet what unfolded was a dance ritual to worship the benevolent Direct God. The folding fan danced along with the grey sleeves, bells chimed within the elegant music, and a pretty girl dressed in grey and a golden crown chanted ancient legends through her dance steps.

In the distant past, there was a beautiful woman on Zero Island named Yidou Nengmai. She was kind and wise, possessing much knowledge, and she taught the people how to cultivate beans.

With her help, the life of nearby residents greatly improved. The priests worshiping the Gods heard rumors and came to investigate. They set various tests to see if she indeed had the rumored superpowers, but all were easily resolved.
