Chapter 204: Tudenan’s God

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the brand new Tudenan’s totem pole, the drawing of monsters and giant beasts that originally belonged to the Tudenan’s ancient heritage occupied nearly half of it.

In the remaining half of the pattern, two-thirds of it was the image of the ancestral mountain spirit on the Luami’s totem pole. Directly on top of it was a drawing of a ferocious-looking giant, whose body line was as solid as steel and his entire body covered with yellow and blue alternate scales that were round on the outside but square on the inside. It was howling towards the sky, battling and receiving the worshipping of countless aborigines.

“What the hell is this?” Zhang Lisheng turned around by the pit and looked at the drawing of his transformed body revealing on the totem pole. He had long recovered his normal body shape since he couldn’t maintain his transformed form for too long. Unable to help himself, he muttered in bafflement.

At this time, tens of thousands of indigenous midgets around the huge fire began to kneel on the ground one after another. Continuing to raise their heads and kowtow, they howled loudly, “Ouunaaa woo wooo... Great Guardian Zhang Lisheng! You protected Tudenan’s legacy at the verge of our destruction in the hurricane! Ouunaaa woo wooo... Oh, Great Tribal Protector Zhang Lisheng! You made Tudenan’s totem regain its brilliance once again! Ouunaaa woo wooo... Oh, Great Remodeler Zhang Lisheng, you’re the new legend on the Tudenan’s totem pole! You’re the faith of the Tudenan people in this world...”

The aborigines sang and praised Zhang Lisheng for a long time and gradually stood up. In accordance with the position they had in Luami tribe last time, they began to throw themselves down on the ground one after another to kiss the footprint he left on the ground.

Those who had a lofty position could kiss those fresher footprints nearer to Zhang Lisheng while those who had lower ranking position would kiss the footprints much farther away.

At this time, even though the young man did not understand the Hellfire people’s custom, he also knew that the Tudenan tribe had worshipped him as a god already.

To be revered by tens of thousands of people and could govern the fate, all of the accomplished sorcerers in ancient times once dominated even the life of a mortal. However, now, such a distinguished power was just a legend that had long been annihilated in history.

When 10,000 people gathered in the dark, it did not seem like their number was too many, but when they began to leave and entered the open space illuminated by the fire, the crowds stretched out as far as the eye could see.

“Is this the worship a great wizard received in the ancient times?! Enjoying the worshipping of others while leading my own tribe to go into battle and kill, to loot for resources...” The young man stared at the darn and dense figures lying on the ground. At first, he became lost in this intoxicated feeling, but when he snapped back to reality, he could not help but smile wryly when he began to see the ugly and primitive appearance of the supernatural realm’s short midgets.

If he was still living in the mountain village in Western Sichuan, or if he had only just arrived at the US, Zhang Lisheng would not mind living in seclusion in this supernatural realm’s island and become the tribe’s God and stealthily cultivated witchcraft.

However, now that he had accomplished extraordinary achievements in the civilized world and was fully capable of collecting more resources, he had no intention of abandoning the human world’s comfortable life and live in seclusion in this wild and primitive island.

However, as his train of thought changed its course, a lightbulb flashed in the young man’s mind as a thought appeared. He could not help but whisper to himself, “I can’t sell the cow and drink the milk at the same time... Wait a minute! If things continue to develop according to the current situation, it may not be an extravagant hope for me to have both ways...”

“Dear Remodeler, do you plan to elect a new headman for the Tudenan through competition of fight and weaponry or to directly bestow the history book to somebody in the tribe,” Without warning, a humble and respectful voice interrupted the young man’s train of thought.

Zhang Lisheng froze for a moment. When he snapped back to his senses, he saw that the person talking was Tugra who was crouching beside his feet. He then asked in a whisper, “Can’t I keep the book of history?”

“If you’re always in the tribe, of course, you can keep the book of history...” Tugra raised his head and answered with a pleasant surprise.

“I can’t, I’d have to return to the sea soon!” Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before raising his head to look at the already faltering moon. After contemplating for a moment, he said high-soundingly, “Tugra, you’re the only Tudenan person I know who is willing to go into exile when the Tudenan tribe is on the verge of collapse for the sake of reviving it. Now that you’ve gone through so many dangerous hardships and now that the tribe is revived, I’ve decided to bestow you with the headman position.”

As he finished saying that, he strode towards the heads of the two dead strange forest creatures and picked up the Tudenan’s tree bark book before patting away the soil and putting it in Tugra’s hand.

All of the Tudenan aborigines around the fire who were originally Luami tribesmen immediately showed a hint of disappointment on their fire-reflecting faces, particular those powerful warriors who even glared with their eyes wide with an unyielding gaze.

However, after being swept by Zhang Lisheng’s cold glance, they immediately recalled the powerful strength of this sea monster who transformed into a human now and his two giant followers. Right away, they lowered their heads in respect and showed a sign of obedience.

“Tugra is the headman now but all of the Tudenan warriors who were originally from Luami can retain your original status.” Suppressing the dissatisfaction of tens of thousands of the new Tudenan tribesmen, Zhang Lisheng continued to announce after giving assurance to the leaders of the tribal warriors. “I’ll return to the sea now, but I’ll soon come back to the Tudenan Valley. By that time, I’ll definitely bring you new conquest!”

“Oh, Great Remodeler Zhang Lisheng, your words are our orders!” Upon hearing his words, all of the aborigines kneeled down on the ground and responded respectfully.

Later, under the worships of tens of thousands of these indigenous midgets, the young man enlarged his body as though nothing had happened and leaped towards the forest.

However, the moment he freed himself from the aborigines’ sight, Zhang Lisheng whose entire body was in severe pain staggered and shrunk his body once again. Smiling wryly, he commanded the two wizard gus hiding in the forest after being wounded from the battle to come to his side.

Looking at wyrm dragon that had half of its scales fallen off, its body appeared to be heavily mutilated and Island Dragon that had swallowed the strange forest creatures that turned out to be composed of wood and stones with no sense of flesh and blood at all, causing its abdominal cavity to be so badly injured that it almost split into two—if not for a thread of flesh connecting its body together—by the strong enemies who chose to corrode and explode in a suicide manner, he caressed the haggard scars on the wizard gus with lingering fear in his heart.

With no other choice, he climbed on the back of wyrm dragon with great difficulty and commanded the wizard gu to fly in a staggering manner in the clouded sky.

In the air, the blood on the green wyrm dragon continued to seep through the cloud and dropped to the ground. After flying for two whole hours, they finally entered the shallow sea next to the coastline on the outskirts of New York when the sun shone its first glory.

The Explorer was only several hundreds of meters away. Zhang Lisheng struggled to paddle the water and rushed to the beach. Enduring the pain of his body, he rushed into the car naked.

He did not notice that a young woman wearing a long light dress was strolling on the beach barefoot sentimentally in the caress of the sea breeze in the morning when she saw him.

“Oh my God! Do you need any help? I-I’ll make a call for you right away! I’ll call the doctor... Oh, sh*t! I don’t have my phone with me...” It was a good thing that the girl who saw the wounded figure running out of the sea into the SUV on the shore thought she had seen a disaster victim. As she quickly ran to the Explorer, she began to slam on the window.

“Don’t worry, miss! I’m okay! I was merely having some allergic reaction after a jellyfish stung me when I was swimming just now.” Zhang Lisheng was dumbfounded for a moment before quickly using his clothes to cover himself and rolling down the window to flash a smile. “You must have come to New York to apply for a pass to enter the supernatural realm, right? If you’re a local, you wouldn’t have been surprised by such a situation. Of course, I’m very thankful to you too...”

“Allergic reaction after being stung by a jellyfish? The f*ck?! You’ve gone dumb for doing too much weed, right?!” The girl pointed at the young man’s exposed arms that were covered with bruised whipped mark and thin holes before blurting out, “Or perhaps you’re a masochist...”

“Of course not!” Zhang Lisheng immediately realized that this kind of situation would be even more cumbersome if they continued to argue over it. Immediately, he gave up in coming up with absurd excuses and made a deliberate threat right away. “If I hadn’t known that the words you said were out of good intentions, I’m afraid you’d have received my lawyer’s letter today already! Goodbye, Miss!”

Starting the car, he drove far away.

After he had driven the car on the highway, he stopped at the roadside and endured the heart-wrenching pain to wear his clothes. Through the car window, he glanced around and felt that he had shaken himself free from the trouble just now. Thus, he continued to drive the car in the midst of the noisy crowds in the wilderness of the countryside all the way into the new LS Slaughterhouse.

The instant he entered the factory before he even reached the office building, he did not waste even one second and immediately commanded the two wounded wizard gus to turn invisible through the ‘connect’ spell to jump into the sea of blood in the underground trench directly.

Very soon, with the nourishment of a large amount of blood food, the fleshy scales of the lizard and wyrm dragon began to slowly regenerate. Sensing his wizard gus’ situation finally turning for the better, Zhang Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down his speed as he drove to his own office building. Then, he got down from the car and climbed onto the second-floor office with staggering footsteps.

After closing the door, the young man eagerly ran to the giant refrigerator that had double doors at the corner of the office. Opening its door, he stuffed all of the convenient foods that could be eaten directly into his mouth.

After transforming into the Money Toad, his body began to have some of the characteristics of the wizard gu. For example, he could rapidly heal his wounds by devouring blood food.

However, Zhang Lisheng would never drink raw blood and swallow raw meat directly until he was forced to the point of desperation. Fortunately, eating high-calorie food could have similar results too.

After more than ten minutes, as the refrigerator gradually became empty and as the expensive carpet was slowly piled up with more and more food wrappers, tin cans, and cartons of drinks, Zhang Lisheng began to feel that his body was becoming itchier.

He swallowed the last cold burger with one bite and pulled up his sleeves. He could see the fresh red blood dot on his arms disappearing. The several snakeskin-like whip marks faded as well.

Smiling in a satisfactory manner, the young man took out more than twenty fresh steaks from the refrigerator and simply baked it in the oven, before sprinkling them with salt and pepper. Afterward, he swallowed it whole.

Just like this, after consuming all of the food and drink he could find, Zhang Lisheng finally felt that his body no longer had any problems. He proceeded to take a hot shower and changed into a clean set of clothes.
