A black altar seemed to have grown in the middle of the massive platform made out of the four airships. It integrated with the pitch-black platform, appearing out of place.
Ten naked young men and women sat in a circle surrounding the altar with space between each other.
Lu Dong and the other 12 demigods and two demigod-level summoning beasts hovered above the altar. They surrounded the ten Crow Spirit candidates and the altar in order to protect them.
Clearly, they had rehearsed the formation many times. They were in position without even speaking to each other. The entire process took less than a minute.
The Crow Leader hovered into the air above the altar and looked at the time on his Emperor's Heart Ring.
Lin Huang, who was watching in the alternate dimension far away, could not help but glance at the time too.
"11.58 p.m…."
