Chapter 197 Apocalypse Tribe
On the largest island.
The center of the island is a lush green grassland. There are many wooden houses built here. They are scattered on the grassland in an orderly manner, integrating with the surrounding natural environment.
These wooden houses are built with local wood, maintaining the color and texture of the logs, giving them a simple and warm feeling. The roofs are covered with thick thatch to withstand wind and rain.
This island, along with the other islands, all belong to a large tribe called "Apocalypse".
This tribe has a population of millions. The grassland is the core of the tribe, with hundreds of thousands of people living there. Other tribesmen belong to various islands.
In the center of the tribe, there is a towering tree that reaches into the sky.
Its branches are wide and its leaves are lush and green, like a huge umbrella, covering the surrounding houses. Under the tree is an open space for tribal people to gather, rest, and hold sacrificial ceremonies. .
This is a spirit-gathering tree, and it seems to be of the same species as the one in Yongye City.
In fact, the two are not only the same species, but also closely related. Strictly speaking, this spirit-gathering tree is the offspring of the spirit-gathering mother tree in Yongye City.
When the Spirit Gathering Tree was producing seeds, Su Xingyu kept one, and then used the divine power of creation to continuously cultivate it to improve the quality of the talent, and finally planted it on the Tianqi tribe.
After years of careful care by the Tianqi tribe and the help of the gods of creation, this spirit-gathering tree has grown much faster than its other brothers and sisters. While other second-generation sub-trees are still struggling for the seventh level, it has already Breaking through the eighth level first.
The Apocalypse Tribe has developed so rapidly over the years, and it can be said that the Spirit Gathering Tree is indispensable.
All the surrounding spiritual energy was gathered and concentrated on the islands, providing a superior cultivation environment for the tribesmen.
So in order to express respect for the Spirit-Gathering Tree, the Tianqi tribe designated it as a "holy tree" and worshiped it every year.
There are several large ranches built around the core area of the tribe, where many large ferocious beasts are bred.
From the appearance point of view, these ferocious beasts do not match the local environment. They do not look like local ferocious beasts, but more like someone transported them from afar.
However, these large ferocious beasts are indeed prey captured from the half plane of the void when the Apocalypse people went out for training.
They have many advantages, such as good meat quality and docile Qi and blood, which is conducive to absorption and consumption by ordinary tribesmen.
After many years of domestication by the Tianqi tribe, they have already transformed from ferocious beasts into qualified farmed beasts, providing a large amount of meat for the local tribesmen.
On the edge of the grassland, there is a dense forest, which provides a natural barrier for this grassland. There are all kinds of exotic trees and plants growing in the forest, which are lush and green, adding a bit of mystery and beauty to this land.
If you ignore the living conditions, then there is no doubt that this is a qualified tourist destination.
"Chief, I'm back." A strong man, more than two meters tall, came to the center of the tribe, shouted, stretched out his hand to push open the wooden door, and walked in.
The strong man named Li Qiong is the first warrior of the Apocalypse tribe, and his extraordinary state reaches the ninth level.
"Come back as soon as you come back. What's the name of the ghost?" The middle-aged man in the room raised his head and looked at Li Qiong, with some helplessness on his face.
The middle-aged man named Mo Qi is the current patriarch of the Apocalypse Tribe. He is also one of the few ninth-level experts in the Apocalypse Tribe and a magician in the Holy Realm.
Mo Qi stopped what he was doing and asked: "How was the exploration this time? Did you gain anything?"
Li Qiong smiled "hehe", patted his chest, and said confidently : "I personally took action. If there is any problem, I will definitely come back with a great victory. This time we hunted a total of three ninth-level ferocious beasts and seven eighth-level ferocious beasts, which is enough for the tribe to last for a while."
"The harvest this time is good, much better than last time." When Mo Qi heard this, he was slightly startled. It seemed that he did not expect that the harvest this time would be so great, but he quickly frowned: "The casualties How about you, aren't you taking everyone on another adventure?" His voice suddenly became stern, and Li Qiong's body trembled subconsciously.
"No, no, without your order from the clan leader, how could I dare to take risks!" Li Qiong explained quickly, fearing that Mo Qi would misunderstand, "Only a few young men were injured this time, and they were all minor. It’s an injury, just lie down for a few days, it’s nothing serious.”
Hearing this, Mo Qi softened his tone and said, "Tell me the specific process of hunting."
"Okay." Li Qiong nodded.
Even if this plane enters the medium realm and the aura concentration increases a lot, based on the conditions of the surrounding islands, without external intervention, it is impossible to give birth to a ninth-level holy realm villain in a short period of time. beast.
So the place where Li Qiong hunts ferocious beasts is not the surrounding islands, and of course it cannot be the sea.
After all, although the extraordinary and powerful can reduce the impact of the environment to a certain extent, it is still very difficult to hunt sea beasts in the deep sea.
Since the Tianqi tribe converted to the gods, they have received gifts from the gods from time to time.
For example, weapons and equipment, or food seeds, these are all gifts given to believers by the spirit of creation.
Of course, there are also channels to connect to other void planes.
Compared with the care of the Evernight Empire by the "Eternal Night King" and the care of the Naga Kingdom by the "Ancestral God of Fear", the "Spirit of Creation" has a completely different way of cultivating the Apocalypse Tribe.
Let's put it this way, believers of other gods will make sacrifices and pray from time to time in order to gain the attention of the gods. Sometimes, the gods will directly give divine favors.
Let's put it this way, the gods may not respond to believers' prayers, but all believers can intuitively feel their connection with that great existence.
He is like the sun hanging in the sky, shining on everything in the world. No one can ignore His existence.
As for the Spirit of Creation... Since they accidentally contacted this great being decades ago, the tribesmen have only seen a handful of miracles, and most of them cannot pray in daily life. There is a response.
Only a small number of tribesmen can obtain the divine favor.
The Apocalypse Tribe has a religious religion within it, and its status is very high, but they do not require every tribesman to believe in the gods, it all depends on everyone’s wishes.
Except for a very small number of believers, others are not even aware of their connection with the gods of creation.
This makes some shallow believers sometimes even doubt in their hearts whether gods really exist.
Gods naturally exist. Without the help of the Spirit of Creation, the Apocalypse tribe might still be fighting for territory with ferocious beasts.
Of course, it is also possible that it was directly destroyed by the beast.
After all, after the spiritual energy concentration increases, the strength of the ferocious beasts increases more obviously than that of the human race. With their strength, they may not be able to withstand the early waves of impact.
Even if they survive, it would be a foolish dream for them to dominate this archipelago on their own.
So, generally speaking, the Apocalypse tribe agrees with the spirit of creation, but they are uncomfortable if they cannot connect with this.
The Spirit of Creation has a great influence on the Apocalypse tribe, but "people" cannot be seen.
Things will be done, but people will never be seen.
Very mysterious.
"When will the next trial be?" Mo Qi asked after hearing Li Qiong's experience.
"The great priest said, after three months." Li Qiong thought for a moment and replied.
Mo Qi nodded, and then said: "Go and inform everyone that the sacrifice will be held tonight, all clan members need to come over, and nothing must be delayed."
Although the creation gods did not It is clearly stated that all Tianqi people must believe in Him, but Mo Qi believes that whether the gods say it or not is one thing, and whether he does it or not is another matter.
As a human being, you must never forget your roots.
After reading the "books" that recorded the history of the tribe, Mo Qi knew very well what state the Tianqi tribe was in at the time.
Without the help of the gods of creation, they would never have survived. They would either be annexed by other tribes or die outright. There would be no third possibility. Therefore, in order to repay the gods, let alone anything else, it is necessary to at least fully convert the tribe into faith.
Today’s Apocalypse tribe really cannot lose the spirit of creation.
Don’t say anything else, let’s just say one thing.
Although the Spirit of Creation does not bestow exclusive divine favor on believers, 90% of the high-level extraordinary beings in the Tianqi tribe are devout believers of the Spirit of Creation.
Especially those "mythical beasts" enlightened by gods, they are all fanatical believers.
In this world, the strong have absolute dominance over the weak.
So no matter what the reason is, Mo Qi believes that it is best for him to solve the tribe's faith issue first.
“Okay, where do we need to inform the temple?” Li Qiong asked again.
"What do you think?" Mo Qi looked at him angrily after hearing this.
"I don't know." Li Qiong replied matter-of-factly.
"..."
Mo Qi was speechless for a while, hating that iron could not become steel,
"Sometimes I really want to crack your head open and see inside. What exactly is it? The tribe is holding a grand ceremony to sacrifice the gods. If you don’t inform the temple, why do you want me to preside over it?”
Li Qiong didn’t care and smiled: “You could have said so earlier. If you don’t tell me, I won’t know what to do. Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I will go over and inform them.”
It’s really tiring to communicate with you.
Mo Qi sighed secretly in his heart and waved his hand, "I get a headache when I see you, so get out of here."
"Okay."
Li Qiong is very Quickly leave the house and run quickly towards the other side of the tribe, and soon you will arrive at the temple on the edge of the tribe.
In the temple, after hearing Li Qiong's intention, the high priest's face was very surprised.
“The patriarch is going to hold a sacrificial ceremony. Didn’t it just happen once in two months? Why is it coming again...”
Affected by the gods of creation, the great priest is actually not a good person when it comes to sacrifices. Very concerned.
As I said before, as long as you don't slander, it doesn't matter if you are a disbeliever.
Affected by this, the high priest didn't like holding sacrificial ceremonies very much. There was no other reason than that it was too troublesome.
With this time, I might as well be in the temple to learn more about the laws left by the spirit of creation, and strive to break through to the demigod realm as soon as possible.
Yes, the great priest is also a ninth-level priest.
And the strength is not weak.
“I don’t know, this is arranged by the clan leader.” Li Qiong replied honestly.
"Please ask the clan leader for me. Why don't we hold it this time? The day of the coming of the gods will come in two weeks. We can hold it together then." After thinking about it, the great priest tried to test it. Said in a sexual tone.
"No, I already informed everyone on the way here." Li Qiong shook his head.
“…”
The great priest was speechless.
After a while, the great priest sighed and reluctantly accepted the reality: "Okay, you go back and tell the clan leader that I know what to do."
Li Qiong left with satisfaction.
That night, the Apocalypse tribe held a grand sacrifice, and all kinds of extremely precious sacrifices were carried up and offered to the great spirit of creation.
Different from the bloody sacrifices of the Eternal Night Empire and the Naga Kingdom, although the sacrifices of the Apocalypse Tribe also include various ferocious beasts, most of them have been cooked and exist as food, which looks normal.
A grand, yet plain sacrifice.
The huge power of faith surges from all directions like streams, eventually converging into a river and flowing into the statue of God.
The statue bloomed with silvery brilliance, covering the islands. All existences on the islands were affected, and the bloodline hidden in the deepest parts of the body was being pried.
The growth rate of trees and vegetation accelerated, and the bloodline of the ferocious beasts originating from ancient times began to revive.
“Thank you to my Lord, creation will last forever.”
The changes in the statue made all the Apocalypse people excited. They did not expect that this time the gods would actually respond.
……
In the mysterious space.
A tall figure is sitting on the throne. He is wearing a white robe and has a handsome appearance, as if he is an innate god from ancient mythology.
A pair of silver eyes, deep and bright, seeming to be able to see into the essence of everything.
There is a prismatic crystal between the eyebrows, which is emitting a faint light at the moment, as if it is connected to the source of mysterious power.
He holds a scepter in his hand. The scepter is inlaid with gems and shines with dazzling light, symbolizing his endless power and majesty.
The man has a gentle face, just like a teacher in a school, elegant and easy-going.
But there is also a sense of nobility in him. This is not the kind of nobility cultivated by an extraordinary noble young master, but an innate and sacred noble temperament.
"What happened again? Why did the power of faith suddenly increase so much." Feeling the impact of faith, Su Xingyu opened his eyes, feeling a little confused.
Soon, he discovered the specific source of his faith.
Apocalypse Tribe.
Although He has other sources of faith besides the Apocalypse tribe, in those places, either there are not enough believers to form a faith impact, or they are too far away to affect Him.
After briefly checking the situation, Su Xingyu was speechless.
"This is the first time I have encountered that the gods are not in a hurry, the great priests are not in a hurry, but the tribe leader is rushing to convert the people's beliefs."
In view of the behavior of the Tianqi tribe, Su Xingyu had to interrupt Practice to deal with the sudden impact of faith.
Today’s Spirit of Creation has already been promoted to the rank of Demigod, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
Divide the power of faith into three parts, part of which is integrated into the pool of faith for storage, part of which is absorbed and transformed, and part of which is fed back to all living beings.
