Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 2 My sister is finally saved!

Wang An actually offered the stone as a sacrifice.

The main problem was that he was penniless and had nothing of value on him, so he set his sights on things in the surrounding ruins: stones, trees, grass, soil...

Wang An kept stuffing in everything he could see until he stopped, panting. The space inside the black box seemed endless, and he could never fill it up.

After putting in the first item, Jie Sheng carefully observed the changes in himself. Others could not see what was happening in the darkness inside the black box, but he could sense it.

What's inside the black box isn't darkness, but a void—a void where no matter or concept exists.

With the massive amount of garbage being fed, Jie Sheng has finally figured out how to use the black box.

After an item is placed into the black box, it will randomly enter either the 'nothingness' or 'chaos' state.

If it enters a state of 'nothingness', it will directly disintegrate and annihilate, completely ceasing to exist.

If you're lucky enough to enter a 'chaotic' state, these items will be transformed into the most fundamental chaotic essence and stored away until the box is opened again, at which point they will produce random effects.

Just like its name suggests, the result of opening the box is completely chaotic.

It could be a piece of trash, an object, a power, or even a miracle; anything is possible.

"Goodness, isn't this just a lottery? I've really become Schrödinger's lottery machine. It just requires two checks, and I have no idea what the result will be until I open the box."

However, one thing is certain: the strength of the overall effect after opening the box is related to the amount of Chaos Origin. The more Origin, the stronger the guaranteed effect.

To put it simply, if you put 1 unit of Chaos Essence into the box, the result of the lottery will be randomly selected from 0 to 100.

If you invest 10 units of Chaos Origin, the reward level for the lottery will increase to 10 to 1000.

However... when the box can be opened for a lottery, and how much essence is put in each time it is all decided by Jie Sheng himself, and the final interpretation right is in Jie Sheng's hands.

He could even simply swallow the boxes and not let anyone open them to claim the rewards, but he won't do that. He'll give those who open the boxes a little something, and occasionally a big prize, to ignite their greed.

The saved Chaos Origin can serve as his energy source, allowing him to actively intervene in this world and perform miracles, provided that he learns the corresponding techniques.

However, Jie Sheng believes that as long as he has enough source material and his ability to interfere with the world increases, he will one day become a true god, instead of the imposter he is now.

Wang An, panting heavily, asked, "My Lord, is that enough?"

"……not enough."

Even if Wang An only put in garbage, the accumulated amount still exceeded the original essence of a minimum opening box.

But only what is hard to obtain is cherished, and Jie Sheng didn't want to leave Wang An with the impression that miracles could be obtained with just a little trash.

Jie Sheng silently set a standard: as long as the other party has accumulated ten copies of the essence required to open the box at the minimum level, he will give one copy to the other party for a lottery.

Wang An is digging...

After scraping the land for half a day, Wang An finally completed his "sacrifice".

As the sun set and dusk approached, Wang An's breathing became increasingly rapid. Seeing that it was almost time, Jie Sheng snapped the lid shut and then pulled out a portion of Chaos Origin and stuffed it inside.

"Open the box again; this time, you will receive a reward."

As he spoke, wisps of white light seeped out from the cracks in the black box, as if some treasure was about to be revealed.

Seeing the strange phenomena changing inside the box in his hand, Wang An couldn't help but hold his breath: "What... could be inside?"

"Everything."

Jie Sheng paused slightly: "Wealth, resources, power, even the opportunity to become a god—you can obtain everything in this world, all you need is... enough piety."

Although the results of opening the box are completely random, that doesn't stop Jie Sheng from giving the other party hope. Little does he know that what people lack most in the apocalypse is hope... It's not just empty promises.

gudu~

As it turns out, Jie Sheng has a real talent for being an evil god. Wang An couldn't help but swallow, clearly already believing his nonsense.

Crunch~

A crisp opening and closing sound rang out, and a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth from the black box, instantly filling the entire field of vision.

After a long while, the light gradually weakened and receded, and Wang An was able to see the scene inside the box clearly: two orbs of light, one gray and one white, were quietly suspended inside.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached for the ball of white light.

His fingers touched the white ball of light without any discomfort, until his entire arm was submerged in the box, and he finally touched an item.

A cold sensation came from my fingertips; it looked like a cylindrical object.

Wang An grabbed it and pulled it away. In a short while, a sharp and narrow dagger appeared in front of him. The dagger was dark red and engraved with intricate patterns. A scarlet gem was inlaid at the end of the handle.

The moment he saw the dagger, he felt a chilling wave of energy.

"This is... a relic of the gods?!"

Since the gods disappeared, the power of the rules they symbolized did not simply vanish, but rather went out of control and entered a state of abnormal rampage.

All things are made of divine power. All matter and concepts are transformed from divine power with different rules. The abnormal rampage of divine power is the reason for the end times.

Divine relics are items that contain divine power. Depending on the different attributes of the divine power they contain, divine relics often possess all sorts of strange and wonderful abilities.

Even the weakest divine relic is still an extremely rare item, because divine power itself is an extremely precious resource!

Wang An looked horrified. The money he would get from selling this divine relic would be enough for him and his sister to live a carefree life for several years!

But the next second, he thought of the superhuman who had ruined his family, and cold sweat soaked his back without him realizing it. All of this was on the premise that he could really protect this resource.

"No, this divine relic must not be seen by anyone else."

A bold idea quietly emerged: extraordinary power didn't seem so far away after all.

He stared intently at the black box, Jie Sheng's words echoing in his mind.

This box contains everything.

Wang An suppressed his excitement: "There's one more thing inside. Let's see what it is."

This time there were no divine relics. The gray orb was slightly inferior to the white one. This time, Wang An found a box.

Despite the fact that the box was much larger than the black box, he lifted it out with ease.

After the gray light dissipated, Wang An finally saw what the object looked like: a completely white box with a red cross engraved on top.

"I feel like I've seen something similar somewhere before."

Wang An remembered seeing a similar sign at the doctor's residence not long ago when he took his sister to a nearby town for treatment. Unfortunately, the treatment was too expensive, and he simply couldn't afford it.

He quickly opened the medical kit, and sure enough, it contained a lot of medical supplies.

Wang An was overjoyed: "Xiaoyu is saved!"
