Nightmare Light

Chapter 306 The Creation of the Blood Cult
In the Blood Cult's underground facilities, an astonishing number of immortals were immersed in huge glass jars, each in a state of unconscious coma.

The Blood Cult's biggest, and most bloody and terrifying secret, has finally been revealed to everyone.

Even powerful beings like the Mountain Lord and the Literature Lord, who are at the "god level," couldn't help but feel surprised and shocked after witnessing this scene.

"You lot, how could you possibly have so many immortals..." The Mountain Lord, abandoning his usual composure, spoke with a hint of shock and anger, "How wicked and cruel!"

Cang's tentacles curled up, shimmering with a blue light. He was about to use the blue light to attack the jars when Lin Wang stopped him.

"Lin Wang, why are you stopping me?" Cang's tone was also angry. "These are all my friends!"

“You are the Lord of Wisdom, calm down and think it through.” Lin Wang pointed to the tubes on the jars and said to Cang, “Is it safe to release them now…?”

Cang paused for a moment, then slowly released the tentacles.

He understood Lin Wang's meaning: almost every one of these immortals was in a state of corruption, and releasing them now would only create a huge threat.

He coiled up two tentacles, gesturing a furrowed brow above his eyes: "What should we do? Are we just going to let them be..."

“Of course not, we are determined to save them.” Lin Wang shook his head, “But now, there is still one thing that needs to be done.”

Lin Wang looked at Cui Qi'an: "Where are your man-made gods?"

Upon hearing this, his companions were startled.

Dog Brother trembled: "Boss... are there still jobs for these Blood Cult members?"

Tian Taozi also looked incredulous: "The immortals they captured are all here, and Master Hongxiang is dead too. Could they have some secrets?"

Lin Wang looked at Cui Qi'an calmly: "They have been deceiving Hong Xiangye from the very beginning—from the very beginning, the Blood Cult's real purpose was to create a new god and seize the goddess's position."

“This…” Tian Taozi remained silent.

When Hong Xiangye recounted the story, people actually heard about the cultists' plan. However, because Hong Xiangye remained clear-headed and still dominated the entire base, he took almost all the cultists with him after going mad.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously believed that no matter how crazy or evil the Blood Cult's plans were, they were a thing of the past.

It wasn't until Lin Wang brought it up again that things changed.

Cang stretched out a tentacle: "Lin Wang, my friend... do you believe that the artificial new god created by the Blood Cult is indeed real?"

“You can ask him directly.” Lin Wang looked at Cui Qi’an, the former archbishop of the Blood Cult.

Cui Qi'an looked at Lin Wang quietly, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded: "The Blood Cult does indeed have a project to 'create a new god,' and as the Blood Cult's technical archbishop, I am indeed one of the people in charge of that project."

Before anyone could react with surprise, he quickly changed the subject: "But... you can all rest assured, that project was not successful—you can focus on solving the pollution problem caused by these immortals."

Lin Wang didn't believe him. Instead, he took a few steps forward and got closer to Cui Qi'an: "Prove it to me."

“Powerful…and cautious, no wonder you’ve become the core of these people.” Cui Qi’an nodded, then turned and walked toward a door at the back of the facility. “Come with me, I will prove to you…that failed ‘god-making’ project.”

"However, before seeing that project, I think it's necessary to emphasize that the project was indeed stopped, and I personally stopped it."

He stopped, turned around and smiled at the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the large pile of glass jars: "The reason... you can probably guess—all these immortals have been corrupted."

"The method the Blood God Cult wants to use to create a new god is to extract divine blood from immortals and gods, extract the most powerful factors from the divine blood, combine them together, and use this method to create a new god."

"For this reason, we captured a large number of immortals, but these immortals were all defeated, corrupted, and weakened in the war... and their blood was poisonous."

He spread his hands: "Expired ingredients cannot be made into fresh food."

Tian Taozi said, "But you have Hong Xiangye's help..." A ball of blue light emerged from Cang's hand, condensing into the shape of a book: "You also have the Infinite Book."

Cui Qi'an nodded: "Yes, that's right—the appearance of Lord Hongxiang and the purification plan provided by the Infinite Book have indeed made our plan take a big step forward."

"But...it's not enough, far from enough."

He shook his head and gave a bitter laugh.

"If it were a deity, it might be alright, but the only ones we can capture are some immortals—the divine factors that can be extracted from the blood of immortals are already very few, and even fewer after purification."

"Therefore, after investing enormous resources and effort, we believe that this plan is not currently feasible, so we have stopped it."

As he spoke, Cui Qi'an opened the second door.

A tremendous stench of blood erupted from the doorway.

The stench of blood was so strong that it even affected visibility.

Qianlan raised her hand, and a wisp of air swirled in the air, dispersing the blood energy, allowing everyone to see the scene inside the gate—

"God..."

The middle-aged cult member walked at the front, entered through the gate, then turned around and gestured to the crowd: "Gentlemen, this is the failed plan—the Blood God Plan."

"Please feel free to look around. This is an abandoned project; it will not be moved."

As Cui Qi'an spoke, everyone's gaze turned to the very center of the facility space—

It was a huge and deep space dug downwards, more than ten meters high, with countless metal frames, lights and pipes extending deep into this space.

And in the very center of these shelves and conduits stood a colossal, dark red entity—

He looked somewhat similar to the blood giant he had seen at the Federal University, with a huge, dark red humanoid body and three arms.

However, the one before us looked more solid and taller—its head and face already had clear features, and its four eyes were arranged in two rows, tightly closed at the moment.

He seems to have become almost a true mythical being.

"You...you actually created such a wicked thing by human hands..." Dog Brother trembled all over, his stilts crossed in front of his chest, as if afraid that the thing might suddenly erupt at any moment. "Since it was a plan to stop, why didn't you destroy it?"

Cui Qi'an shook his head: "First of all, we should suspend this plan. The Blood Cult has been established for hundreds of years and has carried out countless dark and bloody plans. In case we master a more efficient purification technology one day, we can restart this plan."

At this point, he gave a wry smile: "Of course, that was just wishful thinking at the time."

He added, "Furthermore, there is another very practical reason—with its current capabilities, the Blood Cult cannot destroy Him."

"Huh? It can't be destroyed?" Dog Brother was taken aback.

The others also frowned.

“Yes, it can’t be destroyed.” Cui Qi’an nodded, then glanced at the scarlet giant. “Although its blood purity is not high enough, it was created according to the requirements of mythical creatures from the very beginning of the project.”

“However, you need not be afraid.” The cultist said, conjuring a blood arrow and shooting it at the blood giant’s shoulder, which did not react.

"Look, right now He is just a giant, mindless puppet."
