After reciting the blessings, the high priest bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
The other beasts knelt on the ground as well.
In an instant, only Huanhuan, Bai Di, Xue Ling, and Xuan Wei were still standing.
Some people looked at them with displeasure.
Huanhuan and the others could only kneel down as well. Only then did those people look away.
The high priest carefully dipped the black wood into the water, then faced the divine tree. He leaned down respectfully and pressed his forehead to the grass.
"May the divine tree bless the Divine Wood City with peace and prosperity. May life never disappear!"
All the beasts shouted in unison, "May the divine tree bless the Divine Wood City!"
Huanhuan and the other three felt a little embarrassed.
Although Huanhuan had held sacrificial ceremonies before, she had never asked anyone to kneel, let alone shout slogans like this.
