Chapter 975

All of the followers had their palms joined together as they prayed to Death God Dax in trembling voices.

They had witnessed a truly miraculous scene on this night, and all that was left was for the divine prophecy to be fulfilled. This was destined to be a night that would be recorded in the history books, and once the divine prophecy was fulfilled, everything would draw to a conclusion.

They were going to be the first followers of the Slumber of the Stars and the Sea, and they were very much looking forward to the rise of their god!

Their initial astonishment and fear had transformed into anticipation, and even the youngest of the followers were beginning to pray with all their might.

The sound of their collective prayers accompanied the sound of the crashing waves to form an undulating symphony.

However, none of them closed their eyes as they couldn\\\'t bear to shut out such an astonishing scene. As such, they discovered that the scene before them was suddenly becoming brighter.

What was going on?

Some of the followers turned around to find where the light was coming from. This wasn\\\'t a conscious gesture, it was merely an instinctive urge, and none of them were expecting to see anything more interesting than the battle taking place on the sea anyway.

However, right as the first follower turned around to look behind him and was about to withdraw his gaze, he was immediately transfixed by what he saw and his jaw dropped straight to the ground.

His body then began to tremble uncontrollably, and he sprang to his feet before pointing a certain direction. He couldn\\\'t even muster up a full sentence and could only give a strangled gasp of utter astonishment.

His reaction to what he had seen was so extreme that it instantly attracted the attention of the other followers, and those around him also began to turn around.

Curiosity was a common trait in human nature, and on this occasion, their curiosity brought them a massive shock!

An elderly follower turned around, and his eyes immediately widened while his pupils contracted drastically. A wizened hand flew over his mouth as he silently rose to his feet.

A young follower turned around, and upon seeing what was unfolding behind him, he seemed to want to stand up, only for his legs to give out under him. As a result, he sat back down on the spot as his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Soon, all of the followers had turned around to stare at the miraculous scene unfolding behind them.

The light shone on their faces, illuminating their astonished expressions, and it could be seen that every single one of them was completely transfixed.

In the extremely far distance behind them, there was a pillar of light rising straight up into the heavens like a lighthouse in the darkness.

If that were it, then this wouldn\\\'t be a remarkable scene. What was truly astonishing was that all of the LED screens along the entire coastline were displaying the same image. In addition to that, that same crystal clear image was being broadcast over the entire length of the building of the largest hotel in the city.

The image was depicting a church.

Most of the people present could identify it as the Gloria Dei Old Swedes Episcopal Church. However, at this moment, the church was in a very strange state. All of its buildings had been completely uprooted and were hovering in mid-air as if gravity had malfunctioned in the area. Those intricately crafted pillars and statues were all hovering around a massive ball of light.

Boundless holy white light was radiating from the center, within which the indistinct form of a long spear could be just barely made out. Behind the spear was a figure in a black cloak who was entirely enshrouded in darkness.

His head was lowered, and he was carrying a scythe on his back. As he slowly raised his head, his black cloak danced around him.

This scene was resonating deep in the hearts of all of the followers. This was the spitting image of the grim reaper in western mythology!

Qin Ye had used a sly trick here.

This was only a form that he had taken in order to appease the followers gathered on the shore. If he were to appear before them in the form of a Cathayan Underworld Yama-King, he didn\\\'t know how many of them would be willing to accept him, and there was a good chance that their worship wouldn\\\'t be focused.

However, firing the spear as the grim reaper would elicit acceptance from all of the followers for sure!

On the fliers for Death God Dax, there was no image of Dax enclosed.

Thus, there was only a name circulating around Usonia, but no face connected to the name. Dax itself was nothing more than a legend created by the grand script of death, and it had never shown itself to anyone.

Presumably, it was supposed to be in Leoric\\\'s appearance.

However, Leoric was just a skeleton in pirate attire, so his image wasn\\\'t sufficiently grand and imposing to capture the spirit of a mighty death god. Furthermore, he was more of a deceased spirit rather than a death god. Upon reaching the Duke level, one would undergo a massive change. An example of this could be seen in Qin Ye, who had managed to break through the curse of the Taisui fungus upon becoming a Yama-King.

He wanted to appear before the world in a perfect form.

Prior to this, the image of Death God Dax had only existed in the imaginations of all of the followers, and Qin Ye was presenting to them an image of the grim reaper that had existed for thousands of years, so it undoubtedly a perfect match with the image that everyone had in mind!

\\\"Lord Dax...\\\" someone called out from within the crowd, and his call was immediately acknowledged by all of the followers present. All of the people who had stood up immediately knelt down again, and their voices were trembling with
