It’s the end of the world after becoming a mountain god!

Today is a good day to offer sacrifices.

Yuanshi City was bustling since before dawn, and some people even continued to party from the previous night until today.

Many businesses were decorated with lights and red lotus lanterns were lit all night long.

At seven o'clock, the float team representing the God Worship Festival started from the South Gate and began to parade around Yuanshi City.

There were nine floats in total. Each float had a statue of a deity dressed in a black robe, and in front of the statue was a pair of little fairies no older than ten years old. There were nine teams in total.

Mingyuan and Ali were arranged to sit on the car in the middle, which was the float belonging to the witch god!

Song Tang and others scattered around the float.

As the float passed by, many tourists and believers either surrounded it or followed behind it.

Gradually, Song Tang and his group moved from the outer layer of the float to the inner layer.

They were surrounded by tourists who came to watch the fun. Many of them had a red cloth strip on their right hands and were holding red paper lanterns.

Many of the children following the floats wore various fairy masks.

"May the witch god bless you!" A circle of believers who were also wearing black robes stood on the float.

There is a large golden vat next to them, and each of them holds a cypress branch in his hand, constantly sprinkling the "magic water" in the vat to the tourists around them.

While sprinkling water, they shouted: "May the witch god bless you!"

Whenever drops of water fall, the tourists around become extremely excited.

"It is said that this magical water is very effective. It can dispel bad luck, cure diseases, and increase wealth!"

"The more magic water you receive, the greater your fortune."

"Then take more and move closer inside!"

When they heard that it could increase wealth and fortune, the tourists around became even more excited and wanted to get more "wealth".

The entire float team started from the South Gate and circled Yuanshi City all the way to the East Gate.

The journey that originally took four hours to complete took two hours longer today.

For a full six hours, the number of people gathering increased instead of decreased!

At this time, the float stopped at the East City Gate, planning to rest for half an hour before leaving, and also wait for those tourists who had not yet had time to join.

The festival of worshipping gods has actually ended here.

The subsequent sacrificial ceremony requires entering the mountains. Generally, only true believers will follow it from beginning to end.

As expected, many tourists who came just to watch the fun surrounded the floats, some taking photos and some taking videos, and soon the number of people around decreased significantly.

"The witch god is back to the palace!" The shouts spread from the first float to the last.

The music welcoming the Witch God back to the Witch God Palace played again. With the sound of gongs and drums in front leading the way, the float team behind continued to head towards the forest in the distance.

A broad white road extends all the way from Yuanshi City to the outskirts of the forest.

The Wushen Palace is built in the forest and is usually not open to the public. It is only open to the public on the day of the God Worship Festival.

On weekdays, if believers want to worship the gods, they can only look at them from afar at the foot of the mountain.

Soon the float continued to move forward in the right lane, while the rest of the believers took another road into the forest.

This is a four-lane road, but once you enter the forest, vehicles are prohibited and everyone has to walk up the mountain.

On both sides of the walking path up the mountain are tall and straight fir trees, and the air is extremely humid.

"The Ascension Platform is in front. Everyone should walk according to their ability. Those who cannot walk up can take the cable car next to it." A believer in a black robe pointed to the cable car not far away.

Shengxiantai is at the top of the mountain. It takes 999 steps to get to Shengxiantai from here.

"I don't know where Mingyuan and the others went." Mingxin pulled the wig on her head uncomfortably.

As a monk he stood out so much here that he had no choice but to buy a men's wig.

"They've already gone up." Wei Yan carried her Yin Tie coffin on her back and pointed to the location of the Ascension Platform with her chin.

In order to prevent her coffin from being too conspicuous, Wei Yan dressed herself up as a COSER and painted the outside of the coffin with fancy colors.

At first glance, it looks like a middle school girl carrying a colorful "cardboard box".

Song Tang looked up at the long stairs in front of him, winding all the way into the clouds and mist, seemingly with no end.

"Let's go."

The two younger ones had already gone up.

A few people were a little worried, so they mixed in with other believers and started walking up the mountain.

As he stepped onto the stairs, Song Tang took a deep look at the tributes near the stairs.

There are so many of them that they extend all the way from the steps to very far away, and you can't see the end at all!

"Lou Shao and Yue Qing are walking too slowly! I saw them not far behind me just now, but now I can't even see their shadows." Wei Yan climbed the stairs carrying a coffin weighing several hundred kilograms, still walking briskly.

Some people even had the leisure to complain about Lou Shao, the little loser.

"I seem to have seen Donor Lou and Donor Le arguing just now." Mingxin is not good at speaking and is even worse at persuading others.

I originally planned to come here for support, but as soon as I turned around, these two people disappeared.

Song Tang walked in front without blushing or panting, which made him stand out from the tourists in front and behind him who were panting like bellows.

Without even turning her head, she said, "Yue Qing won't harm Lou Shao! Let's go first, they will catch up soon."

After walking up 999 steps, we finally arrived at our destination.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a huge natural rock with the words "Shengxiantai" written on it.

"You are all the most devout believers. Here is free supply of divine water. You can drink some to quench your thirst."

There were several believers in black robes standing in front of the Ascension Platform. They looked at the first group of people who came up with a smile and handed over paper cups filled with the famous "magic water".

"Thank you." Song Tang took the cup and drank it without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wei Yan and Ming Xin also drank a glass each.

I thought it wouldn't be noticeable this way.

Who knew that many tourists were so exaggerated! They didn't know whether they were too thirsty or they just liked the magic water. They drank one cup after another and couldn't stop!

Song Tang pursed his lips and walked towards the sacrificial square under the guidance of the man in black robe.

"Oh my god, this is too big!" Wei Yan exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Not only Wei Yan, but other tourists also looked shocked, with their mouths opened so wide that an egg could almost be stuffed in.

Who would have thought that in a large primeval forest, on a mountain behind 999 steps, there was actually a huge square that could probably accommodate nearly 10,000 people!

How much manpower and resources are needed to build such a large project on a mountain that has hardly been developed?

"It's so beautiful there, take a picture for me!"

With an exclamation, many tourists chose to take photos and check in at various places.

Song Tang and his companions walked directly into the square and came to the center of the square. When they looked up, they saw a high platform right in front of the square.

There are nine tall statues standing on the platform, each of which is about ten meters high.

The tallest one is the witch god statue in the center, which is about fifteen meters high.

There are four statues on each side of the witch god, all of which are the statues that have been seen on the floats before.

These should be the God of War and his eight guardian elders.
