The Demon Lord Begins with Sacrifice

My name is Chen Hongtao, and I am the "firewood" of the Chen family in Qingyang City. The so-called firewood is a living container that provides vitality to the "disaster" sealed by the family. Every ten years, a "lucky guy" like me will be honored and sacrificed at a family ceremony. They said it was my honor and the greatest gift from my family. I believed it to be true. Until the eve of the ceremony, the heart that had been dormant in my body for sixteen years woke up. It told me that the so-called "disaster" is a supreme thing that can make the gods tremble; the so-called "sacrifice" is a complete scam. When the first voice came from the beating heart: "Do you want to live? Then devour them, along with their false glory!" From that moment on, I was no longer firewood, but the one who held the flame.
