Translator: 549690339
At this moment.
In front of the gigantic tree.
Lin Meng, Mrs. Zhang, and the others were kneeling on the ground in their usual manner, praying fervently toward the location where Jiang Hui resided, bowing three times.
Even though they had still not received any response from Jiang Hui these days, each one of them remained as devout as they were initially, never changing.
This was the obstinacy of the Barbarians.
Once they decided to worship a being as a significant sacrificial spirit, they were willing to devote several generations to it, sparing no effort.
Just at this moment.
A breeze gently blew by, seemingly stirring up the endless skies above.
The next moment.
Several willow leaves were slowly falling, like snowflakes in the afternoon, disappearing without a trace the instant they touched the bodies of Lin Meng and the others…
Lin Meng, who was wholly absorbed in worship, suddenly felt a trace of memory not belonging to him appear in his mind.
After a careful examination, he was stunned to find that the sudden extra memory was about a method called the “Body Tempering Scripture”.
!!..
Lin Meng was not a fool, and he immediately realized that this was the manifestation of Lord Willow God whom they had been praying to day and night.
The leader was right, as long as they were sincere, they would definitely catch the eye of Lord Willow God.
In fact, everyone reacted without his calling out. They were all extremely emotional, hugging each other and crying, acting like madmen.
After the initial surprise, Lin Meng refocused his attention on the “Body Tempering Scripture” bestowed by Lord Willow God. As he learned more about the memory in the back of his mind, his feelings went from surprise to disbelief, absolute disbelief.
Directly tempering the body, and even attaining a massive strength of hundred thousand pounds after completion?!!
What was this concept?
Lin Zhuang was young, had a few experiences, and lacked understanding. But Lin Meng was different, he had friends in several villages and knew that if one wanted to temper the body, it had to be done before worshipping the spirit, with the blood of ferocious beasts being poured into it day and night.
However, the “Body Tempering Scripture” passed down by the Lord Willow God directly overlooked this step and astonishingly allowed ordinary people to reach the Extreme Level of Blood Manipulation.
What he found most unbelievable was the colossal strength of hundred thousand pounds.
Hundred thousand pounds was a great gulf.
According to old friends of the villages, if one could reach the hundred thousand pounds colossal strength in the Blood Manipulation Realm, they could be regarded as being at the extreme level, a rare existence.
Such monster-like existences could not be sought or encountered, each one could easily become invincible in the world within the same realm.
Throughout history, how many people could reach the Extreme Level of Blood Manipulation? Even large villages might not necessarily have one.
For such exceptional geniuses, unless they had showered in the heart-blood of various ferocious beasts, or even that of Species of the Ancient Times, while tempering the body, had excellent innate talents, disposition, etc., it would be impossible to attain something of such a high level.
But they could directly skip this step, irrespective of their innate talents.
Even Lin Meng and Mrs. Zhang, who had already been halfway into the tomb, had an opportunity to perfectly temper their bodies and attain the limit of blood manipulation. How could this not excite them? How could this not shock them?!
“Lord Willow God, from now on, we will be your dependents, accompanying your left and right for generations, serving your person. If we ever go against this, we will be forever trapped in a cage in this life!”
Lin Meng yelled out in a trembling voice, tears streaming down his old face.
How many years had it been? He could no longer remember just how many years it had been.
All he remembered was that the Clan Leader had stressed on his deathbed that they should bury their lineage deep in distant lands, continue the fire, never ending, changing from a tribe to a village, reestablishing their roots somewhere in the Wilderness…
Lin Meng originally thought that he would not have that opportunity in his life, but now, this man, who was already past fifty, suddenly felt like he could do it…
Not just Lin Meng, Mrs. Zhang also had a look of excitement on her face, her eyes rimmed with red. Being the older generation, they understood more deeply the preciousness of what Lord Willow God had bestowed and understood what this represented.
As for people like Lin Chen, their shock was greater than their excitement, with excitement and shock mingling. The kids, only a few years old, were only shocked.
…
By the time the sun set, Lin Meng and the others reluctantly came down the mountain.
After they returned to their dwelling, Lin Zhuang sought out Lin Meng.
“Father, since Lord Willow God has recognized us, can’t we move to a place closer to Lord Willow God? The daily climb up the mountain is several kilometers, and especially uphill, which is quite a distance,” Lin Zhuang selected his words carefully and said in a slow, measured tone.
He had always been sneaking up the mountain previously, but now that the entire family had been recognized by Lord Willow God, why not find a home closer to Lord Willow God? Not only would it be more convenient for worship, but they could also listen to Lord Willow God’s teachings at all times. Why not do it?
Even though Lord Willow God never spoke…
“This…” Lin Meng furrowed his brows, somewhat tempted.
Indeed, as Lin Zhuang said, they went to worship Lord Willow God every day, but the time spent on the road added up to quite a bit.
However, after weighing it up, Lin Meng still decided not to move for the moment.
The reasons were four-fold.
First, they were afraid that they might disturb Lord Willow God. Such a being, existing in an aloof manner in the world, they thought, might not like it if there were so many people around from morning to night.
Secondly, they were more familiar with this area and living here was more convenient.
Thirdly, there wasn’t a suitable place for them to live up the mountain. Even if there was, it was extremely damp or full of broken rocks and would be impossible for them to live there.
As for the fourth point, Lin Meng wanted to use the worshiping path to hone Lin Zhuang and the others. Although climbing the mountain was difficult, it was also a kind of physical training.
Although they did not move, there were some changes compared to before.
Lin Meng and several people from Lin Zhuang had brought back a massive stone from several kilometers away. It took them several weeks to carve the words “Liu Village” in the center position. After sprinkling it with the heart-blood of a wild beast, they placed it in a corner.
Yes.
Even though there were only ten people in total, Lin Meng established a tribe and directly named it Liu Village.
With Lord Willow God guarding here, he thought they were qualified to be called a village, even if there were only ten people.
More importantly, before they named it, they had asked Lord Willow God for his opinion.
Lord Willow God did not object.
Jiang Hui indeed did not object to Lin Meng’s suggestion.
To gather more faithful followers and gain more experience points, the most indispensable thing naturally was people. Establishing a village might not bring many people to him immediately, but at least it was a good start.
He had tried for many years, and Little Black, who ate the golden flowers, was just an exception. The rest of the wild animals were scared off as soon as they saw his manifestation. The faith value did not increase, but fear value exploded.
Only humans were the most suitable target for his believers.
And after receiving Jiang Hui’s transmission, Lin Meng and the others were more reverent and respectful. Their daily worship rituals also become more solemn.
With the increase in number, the boiling blood had almost completely dyed the land around him red. Although Jiang Hui felt a little uncomfortable, he did not stop this.
Because he found that even if the Lin Meng family had become his loyal devotees, their faithfulness could continue to improve through this method.
