However, his thousand armored guards were unharmed, since they had formed a battle formation. Under a battle formation, there are only two possibilities: either the formation is torn apart, killing most of them instantly, or no one dies.
Of course, the army, the Yin-Yang School, and the Luo Net must have had many injured people... and they were all healed by the power of the Horse Talisman.
"The world god... what does the end look like?" Ying Zheng lowered his head and stared at his palm. He too had walked this path, using the power of the world's origin to become a god.
Although Ying Zheng can only be considered a demigod at present.
He looked up and gave Su Han a deep look. "She's truly someone to admire."
"Um," Weber glanced nervously toward the altar, where Huang Rong was still performing her ritual, "why hasn't Miss Huang Rong finished her ritual yet?"
Weber found it strange that both Ying Zheng and Zhang Sanfeng basically completed their sacrifices during the period after defeating the evil forces... or before defeating the evil forces, when they joined the battle to help the council members, or shortly after defeating the evil forces.
But now, Huang Rong seems to be far from a successful sacrificial ceremony.
Zhang Sanfeng frowned in thought, somewhat puzzled. Ying Zheng lowered his eyes, and after a few breaths, suddenly spoke, "Everyone faces different situations. I think what happened to Miss Huang Rong is quite normal."
"That's true..." Conan's expression suddenly changed halfway through his sentence. "Wait a minute, everyone, I suddenly thought of something."
"It seems that... there's a possibility of failure in the ritual to appease the heavens, isn't there?"
The scene fell silent. Ash, holding Pikachu, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Pikachu looked at Ash with concern, and even reached out its little hand to touch Ash's face, trying to comfort him in its own way, "Pika?"
After a brief silence, Zhang Sanfeng turned to look at Su Han, "Number Five, could you explain to us... what might happen after the World Sacrifice fails?"
"If the sacrifice fails, we can perform it again next time," Su Han said calmly.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Han continued, "However, that would make the sacrifices more difficult each time."
"In general, if the first sacrifice fails... the chances of success in subsequent sacrifices will only decrease sharply. Of course, every sacrifice will attract the attention of evil spirits."
"What should we do?" Ash panicked after a brief silence. He paced back and forth, hugging his Pikachu tightly.
Su Han did not answer; he simply deactivated the mirror world, allowing everyone to return to Xuande Gate.

Chapter 329 Conan and Aizen complete another unspeakable secret deal (Third update)
Time passed slowly, and as the sun was about to set, Huang Rong slowly opened her eyes. She plopped down on the altar, panting heavily.
“It’s alright if you fail,” Zhang Sanfeng sighed softly as he stood below the altar. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he did not add pressure to Huang Rong and gently comforted her, “Next time, just come back with adequate preparation.”
“I believe that no one will mind. After all, things can be viewed from two sides, with both good and bad,” Zhang Sanfeng said, trying to find humor in the situation. “For example, performing an extra sacrifice can kill more evil creatures and make one’s own strength stronger.”
"..." Huang Rong stared blankly at Zhang Sanfeng below. After a long while, she patted her cheeks speechlessly, mustered her spirits, and said, "Grandpa Zhang, I succeeded, although the success was somewhat bumpy."
“Even if we succeed, it doesn’t matter, as long as next time… um?” Zhang Sanfeng suddenly realized, and then he looked up at Huang Rong on the altar, his face undergoing a dramatic change.
Finally, only relief remained on Zhang Sanfeng's face, and he said, "Good, that's good!"
Huang Rong stepped on the altar, and her body floated down from the altar.
Zhou Botong, Master Yideng, and the others felt the pressure on them disappear, and after a brief silence, they also stood up. However, they stared at Huang Rong, their eyes filled with doubt, fear, and astonishment.
It's simply because what happened today was far too unusual.
Whether it was them kneeling before Huang Rong, or the appearance of that planet-like monster... they even vaguely sensed that the monsters they had seen before were probably not illusions, but truly each other...
Even now, thinking about these things still sends chills down their spines and makes their hearts pound.
Huang Rong didn't glance at them, but stared directly at Su Han, her eyes slightly narrowed. After a long while, she murmured in admiration, "Truly remarkable."
Although Huang Rong was unable to observe Su Han's true nature from a god-like perspective because the council members were detached from the world, she clearly saw Su Han instantly kill the evil god during the previous sacrificial ceremony.
How enormous was that malevolent god? Perhaps far smaller than Earth, but if it were to collide with Earth, it could easily annihilate all civilizations on the Earth's surface.
Not to mention, He Himself also possesses extremely evil abilities... Huang Rong had no doubt that He had the power to destroy the Earth.
However, that terrifying existence was easily wiped out by Number Five.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Huang Rong looked away and sincerely addressed all the council members present, "I truly don't know how to thank you all."
"It's my duty." Su Han said calmly, then turned his gaze to the others present. "Who wants to stay, and who wants to return?"
"I'm going back." Ying Zheng said, glancing at the army behind him, the Yin Yang School members, and the Luo Wang members, his brows furrowing.
How should we bring these people back? Should we use the original method, return them to their original world, condense their cards, and then summon them?
"I'm going back too." Conan clenched his fist. He was now very much looking forward to seeing how much the evil god power he had obtained this time could elevate his strength.
Waver didn't speak, but judging from his resolute expression, his decision was clear. Ash, holding Pikachu, also decided to return.
“I’ll stay for a while,” Zhang Sanfeng sighed. He glanced at the Five Greats not far away and said seriously, “It’s a good opportunity to see how far the level of immortal martial arts in this world has developed.”
Seeing this, Su Han didn't say anything more.
With a thought, Conan, Webber, and the others gradually transformed from physical entities into ethereal forms.
A few breaths later, the group, including Su Han, disappeared from the spot.
...
In the Hall of Mist, a pair of eyes slowly opened on the bronze throne shrouded in mist.
