Qingshan tribe.
After unifying the Great Green Mountain and gathering all the tribes, the Qingshan tribe now had three thousand two hundred and fifty-six people, with Tushan Ming as the leader while Tushan Cangyue was still the High Priest with noble status.
At this moment, in the huge square of the tribe, an even taller and bigger statue had already been erected.
With the statue as the center, a large number of tribesmen stood in the surrounding space. Their eyes were filled with inexplicable nervousness and fear.
At the same time, when they looked at the statue of the God of the Great Green Mountain on the altar, they were filled with curiosity.
They had all heard about the manifestation of the Qingshan Great God but all of them felt that such an absurd thing was a fantasy. Although the tribes of Great Green Mountain had believed in God since ancient times, they had never seen God show His power.
God was just the spiritual sustenance fabricated by the ancestors.
However, after arriving at the Qingshan tribe, they discovered that the reality had changed drastically.
The original legend had actually become a reality. This subverted their understanding.
Therefore, at this moment, the tribesmen under the altar were all doubting the authenticity of the Qingshan Great God.
Lin Wudao naturally saw their reactions.
However, he did not pay any attention to it. Instead, he quietly watched.
Thump!
Abruptly, along with a series of melodious and majestic bell rings, under the protection of twelve divine servants led by Tushan Mang, High Priest Tushan Cangyue slowly ascended the altar.
Whoosh!
With her arrival, the originally noisy square instantly quieted down.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Tushan Cangyue.
Amongst them, the original tribesmen of the Qingshan tribe all revealed a strong sense of respect and reverence in their eyes.
Other than that, there was also a strong sense of pride.
The Tushan family finally had another High Priest who served God. In the future, she would lead the Tushan family to rebuild their former glory. Thinking of this, they felt honored and were even more respectful towards Tushan Cangyue.
“Previously, the Great God sent down an oracle to hold another Divine Baptism today to improve the aptitude and aptitude bone of the tribe’s people, increasing their cultivation and strength. However, only those who have devout faith in the Great God can obtain great fortune. I know you don’t believe me, but the members of the Qingshan tribe are the best examples. Before this, we were as weak as you. However, after being baptized and blessed by the Qingshan Great God, all the tribesmen of our tribe have experienced unprecedented changes.”
“Currently, everyone in the Qingshan tribe has reached the Divine Mansion realm and above. The twelve most powerful tribesmen in the Divine Vein realm have become the servants of the Great God. Therefore, as long as you sincerely believe in the Qingshan Great God, the Great God will grant you great power and change your life and destiny.”
Tushan Cangyue’s cold and solemn voice echoed in all directions.
Hearing this, the newly joined tribesmen all turned their eyes to the people of the Qingshan tribe.
They could clearly feel how powerful those people were.
This was especially so for the twelve divine servants standing on the altar. They were as majestic as tyrannosaurus, emitting a powerful aura that shook people’s hearts and souls, making them unable to breathe.
“Could it be… Does the Qingshan Great God really exist?”
Someone was shocked.
“It should be true.”
“Otherwise, it is impossible for the people of the Qingshan tribe to have undergone such a shocking change in such a short time.”
“If 1 can change my fate, then what’s the harm in believing in it?”
“I’m willing to worship the Great God devoutly. I beg the Great God to grant me great strength.”
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Many tribesmen began to kneel and kowtow.
Seeing this, even though quite a few were skeptical, they did not dare to openly oppose the Qingshan tribe at this time. They could only kneel for now.
Tushan Cangyue could see their reactions.
“If you want to gain something, you have to pay something. The grace of the Great God is not something that anyone can obtain. If you want to become a subject of the Qingshan Great God, you must offer a certain amount of lifespan as a sacrifice. According to the tradition of the Qingshan tribe, the young and strong must sacrifice more than a hundred years of their lifespan. Those who were old and weak will sacrifice at least ten years of their lifespan. The more you sacrifice, the greater the fortune bestowed by the Great God.”
What was that? Using lifespan as a sacrifice?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“Since when did the Qingshan tribe have such a tradition?” Someone questioned.
Hearing this, the members of the Qingshan tribe were instantly enraged.
“Hmph! Worshipping the Qingshan Great God is a tradition of our Tushan Family since ancient times. Everyone in our tribe is a firm believer in the Great God. Even our High Priest sacrificed 10,000 years of her life to obtain the recognition of the Great God. Every single one of us has sacrificed our lifespan! Why? You can’t even bear to part with a mere hundred years of lifespan? If that’s the case, how can you be worthy of the Great God’s grace?” A member of the Qingshan tribe questioned angrily.
Whoosh!
As soon as these words were said, the outsiders immediately bathed in the glares of the Qingshan tribe members.
Blasphemy against God was a great disrespect. In the Qingshan tribe, this was absolutely not allowed to happen.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Although there were only a few dozen people in the Qingshan tribe, their cultivation and strength were far stronger than everyone else. Therefore, the aura that erupted naturally shocked everyone.
For a time, the voices of doubt in the crowd were immediately suppressed.
“Since you have become a part of the Qingshan tribe, you must follow the traditions and rules of the tribe. In the Qingshan tribe, the Great God is supreme. Any act of blasphemy against the Great God will be severely punished. Of course, having a devout and firm belief will also allow one to obtain great fortune,” Tushan Cangyue’s voice continued.
After saying that, She began to guide the crowd and began the sacrificial activities.
“I’m willing to sacrifice a hundred years to serve the Great God!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice fifty years of my lifespan to serve the Great God!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice 200 years of my lifespan!”
“I’m willing to sacrifice eighty years…”
Under the pressure of the Qingshan tribe, the crowd began to shout.
In Qingshan Temple, Lin Wudao revealed a gratified smile when he saw this.
“I was right. Tushan Cangyue is indeed qualified to be the High Priest of the Qingshan
Temple. This time, I must give her a huge merit.”
His eyes were filled with admiration.
[Ding!]
[You have received a sacrifice of 100 years of lifespan. Believer +1.]
(You have received a sacrifice of 200 years of lifespan. Believer +1.]
[You have received a sacrifice of 80 years of lifespan. Believer +1.]
[You have received a sacrifice of 50 years of lifespan…]
System notifications rang out in his mind one after another.
A moment later, the sacrifice ended.
Lin Wudao opened the system interface and realized that he had gained nearly 100,000 years of lifespan this time.
[Name: Lin Wudao)
[Lifespan: 121,236]
This harvest could be said to be a huge wave of gains.
Lin Wudao was extremely satisfied with this result.
With so much lifespan, his main body could walk out of the Land of Sins.
That being said, although his lifespan had increased by nearly 100,000 years, the limits had not been reached yet compared to the current tribe members of more than 3,000 people.
Amongst them, a large number of people did not sacrifice their lifespan.
Naturally, Lin Wudao would not indulge these stubborn people.
“Cangyue, immediately pass on my oracle. Those who are not devout believers cannot obtain my divine grace and fortune. I will give you a name list. Anyone whose name is not on the list will be expelled from the square because they are not my believers,” Lin Wudao said through the divine sense.
“Yes, sir,” Tushan Cangyue replied respectfully.
Boom!
With that, a name list silently appeared in her soul.
Seeing this, Tushan Cangyue glanced at it discreetly and was shocked.
She knew that the so-called devout believers were those who had offered up their lifespan.
“I just received an oracle. The Great God is about to descend into the human world. Next, I will call out some names. Those who have been mentioned have a firm and devout faith in the Great God. You can thus stay in the square to receive the baptism and fortune of the Great God. Those whose names are not on the list will be expelled,” Her cold voice resounded throughout the square.
What was that? Those who didn’t offer up their lifespan would be expelled?
The moment these words came out, everyone’s hearts were greatly shaken.
At this moment, many in the crowd were already secretly regretting it.
However, Tushan Cangyue didn’t care about that. She immediately called out the names one by one according to the list given by Lin Wudao.
Very quickly, those who were not on the list were all expelled by Tushan Mang and the others.
Only one-third of them remained.
Lin Wudao glanced around and saw that there were about 1,000 people left.
“Chances are always given to those who are prepared.”
He immediately descended to the human world as the Qingshan Demonic God.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Accompanied by beams of dazzling divine light, a majestic phantom condensed above the statue. He sat in the sky and looked down at the mortal world.
“Greetings, Qingshan Great God.”
“Greetings, Qingshan Great God.”
Seeing Lin Wudao arrive, Tushan Cangyue, the twelve divine servants, and the Qingshan tribe’s people immediately knelt and kowtowed with utmost sincerity.
The other people in the square widened their eyes in disbelief. Their eyes were filled with fear.
“The God of the Great Green Mountain has really appeared?”
“God does exist!”
“Fortunately, I chose to believe. Otherwise, I would definitely have been expelled.”
Everyone was both terrified and excited.
Lin Wudao did not pay much attention to their reactions.
Whoosh!
After coldly sweeping his gaze over, he began to execute the Divine Baptism and the Great Imbuement Technique according to the procedure..
