"A Heavenly Facing Householder who was buried alive for the Yili King? Such a barbaric and bloody system actually continued to exist?"
In the history of Wang Yuan's previous life, the phenomenon of living sacrifices in burials had gradually disappeared after the Han Dynasty, but in this Divine Deceit World, it had persisted for a long time.
The current dynasty was no exception; since the Ancestor, the Great Yan Imperial Family had also included the practice of human sacrifice in their ancestral traditions.
With the Emperor and the princes, the most revered figures of the Dynasty, as the principals, those chosen for burial sacrifices were mainly concubines and attendants without descendants, and even subordinates who had served them in life.
Usually, the Court would reward and compensate the sacrificers posthumously, even bestowing honorific titles upon them and promoting their relatives to higher ranks and salaries as a form of consolation.
