They were elite assistant priests at the late stage of Tier One.

The tall and upright men standing on both sides were two of the four elite combat priests Shen Yue mentioned earlier.

When Lin Feng secretly glanced at these two, he felt a sharp and powerful aura.

Unlike the assistant priests who focused on spirit research, their evolution direction was absolute power.

At this point, as the ceremony officially began, everyone started drawing lots.

The two elite assistant priests stood on either side of a box under the podium, and the sacrificial offerers came forward in turn from the first row to draw their numbers.

Once the two hundred sacrificial candidates completed their drawing, the selection process began.

The male assistant priest raised a Holy Grail filled with Holy Spring Water from the pool behind the church and walked down to announce the result among the sacrificial offerers:

"Lord Bishop says that this year's Wasteland Calendar millennium, the one hundred and twenty-fourth Holy Spring Day, will be chosen, this number."

With that, the crowd stirred.

The upper-class person who drew number one hundred and twenty-four emerged from their seat, nervously approached the podium, and respectfully took the Holy Grail from the assistant priest.

Then, in front of everyone, he drank the Holy Spring Water in one gulp.

He then followed the assistant priest out of the church prayer room.

Once a sacrificial offerer was selected, the final ceremony had to be executed immediately.

The location for observing the ceremony was in a secret room on the highest floor above the church.

And that was the tower attic topped with the golden Teaching Emblem.

Lin Feng thought the ceremony would stop at this point, but Shen Yue pulled him along to join the group heading to the spire.

"Is it okay?"

Lin Feng mouthed silently.

Shen Yue nodded and continued forward.

But at a fork in the path, she led Lin Feng to the side tower attic.

From here, they could see everything happening in the main tower attic dozens of meters away.

Two combat priests are seen moving a heavy two-cubic-meter black box filled with liquid.

Then, under the assistant priest's guidance, the selected sacrificial offerer removed his robe and jumped in from the top of the black box.

As the black box was sealed, the female assistant priest placed her hands on the back of the box, guiding the sacrificial offerer to relax and not resist.

Once a stable spiritual connection was established, the female assistant priest nodded slightly, signaling the male assistant priest to begin observation.

The male assistant priest then waved a flag toward the Moonlight Garden over two hundred meters away.

The managers stationed at the Moonlight Garden began making adjustments to the ten-meter-wide giant lens.

Soon, the focal point of the lens surface gathered on an observation hole of the black box.

At this moment, the previously snowy and pristine lens surface began to show a layer of darkness, deepening into a dark red.

It was like an eerie blood moon.

Just like the crimson in the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area.

Hiding in the nearby attic, Lin Feng's eyes widened in disbelief at all this.

He wanted to ask Shen Yue beside him, but she had already covered his mouth with her hand and shook her head forcefully, signaling him to stay silent.

Lin Feng nodded gently and continued to observe.

As the gigantic glass mirror gathered countless light sources from outside the dome, including energy released from the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area, it concentrated into the black box.

At this moment, visible to the naked eye, the focal point of light gradually condensed into a red-white light source like a veil.

The fleeting shadows reminded Lin Feng of the fleeting apparition he accidentally glimpsed in the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area from the mountaintop of Lao Mountain!

This is the Power of Curse!

As the focal point condensed by the lens gathered into the black box, seen by the sacrificial offerer's eyes and absorbed by his brain.

The entire black box began to shake slightly.

That was the sacrificial offerer's struggle under intense pain.

The fiery light containing the Power of Curse was invading his brain consciousness, synchronizing neuron pulse signals.

Meanwhile, the female assistant priest behind the black box was also reading everything seen by the sacrificial offerer.

Confirming whether there was a sunstorm phenomenon in the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area miles away.
