章 12: Worship from other Beastkind
編集者: Atlas Studios
Not long after Tang Sen left, he heard the Brazen Bull Tribe's calls through the Godhead. The Brazen Bull Tribe prayed frequently, and it was not surprising for him to hear about them.
However, Tang Sen decided to return due to the anxiousness within their calls.
The Brazen Bull Tribe's land was a scene of hard work, even though the seeds' growth had slowed down significantly without the blessing of Tang Sen's flames. However, things had significantly improved compared to previously. Hence, the Brazen Bull Tribe didn't feel resentful about Tang Sen's absence.
Due to this, Tang Sen had a better opinion of the Brazen Bull Tribe.
After Tang Sen appeared, he naturally attracted the attention of many people. They all respectfully saluted him when they saw Tang Sen again.
When the Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief came over, a crowd had already formed around Tang Sen.
"I saw that your lives are pretty good now as I came over." Tang Sen looked at the Chief in front of him and nodded.
After solving the food problem, the Brazen Bull Tribe's development was on the right track. Both the elderly and the young were all smiles.
The Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief was full of gratitude when he heard Tang Sen say this. He then hesitated and said, "Thank you, great Divine Spirit, for your blessing. However, our prayers this time were for other people."
Tang Sen nodded slightly when he heard 'other people.' His attention was on the two people behind the Chief.
There was nothing very unusual about these two people's clothes; the only thing that stood out was their ears. One of them had ears like those of a cat, and the other had long ears like those of a rabbit.
Tang Sen understood when he saw them. He guessed that some other weaker tribes were tempted when they saw how well the Brazen Bull Tribe was living. This was why they came to see him in a hurry.
When he saw that Tang Sen did not speak, the Brazen Bull Tribe's Chief quickly introduced the two people behind him. "They are the Rabbit Ear Tribe and the Cat Ear Tribe's Elders. They are here to seek your protection."
When the Brazen Bull Tribe's Elder finished speaking, both Elders from the Cat Ear Tribe and Rabbit Ear Tribe were on their knees. "We seek your protection over our tribe, Divine Spirit."
At this moment, 'the strong prey on the weak' was not just a saying. These weaker tribes found it hard to live their lives due to the lack of power. There was no peace for them. Every time a powerful tribe lacked food and clothing, they would be the targets of invasion. Therefore, the powerful tribes remained mighty after many years passed, while the weaker tribes became weaker.
If their days continued like this, the weaker tribes would just accept their fate. However, life clearly became better for the Aquila Tribe and the Brazen Bull Tribe after they had gotten blessings.
This gave the weaker tribes a glimpse of hope—if they could get the Divine Spirit's blessing, they would be able to lead better lives.
This thought was exactly what Tang Sen hoped for. Tang Sen, the Divine Spirit, needed many people to have faith in him. Therefore, as long as these people did not have major problems, Tang Sen would not reject them.
Tang Sen still did not speak, which worried the two Elders from both tribes. Thankfully, Tang Sen spoke after a while. "In that case, I shall bless your tribes as you wish."
There was a saying that went, 'the order, once given, will be strictly enforced.' Following Tang Sen's blessing for the Cat Ear Tribe and the Rabbit Ear Tribe's Elders, a soft white light flew out and headed toward both tribes.
Even the Brazen Bull Tribe's people felt the warmth. This was the power of the Divine Spirit.
Originally, the Cat Ear Tribe and the Rabbit Ear Tribe's Elders were very anxious when they made this trip. However, they finally felt relieved when they witnessed Tang Sen's capabilities, especially after they saw the white light appear.
This was because they could sense themselves becoming stronger.
"Thank you, Divine Spirit, for blessing us."
This time, it was not only the Cat Ear Tribe and the Rabbit Ear Tribe's Elders that knelt down. Even the people from the Brazen Bull Tribe had knelt down sincerely.
"Congratulations to the Host. The Cat Ear Tribe acknowledges you as a Divine Spirit. Strength of Faith +1,000!"
"Congratulations to the Host. The Rabbit Ear Tribe acknowledges you as a Divine Spirit. Strength of Faith +1,000!"
The last time Tang Sen blessed the Brazen Bull Tribe with food, he could clearly feel his Strength of Faith getting stronger. However, Tang Sen didn't check the exact number then.
This time, Tang Sen heard how much Strength of Faith he gained when he just thought about it slightly.
Tang Sen was confident that this was just the beginning. In the future, more tribes would seek his blessing and eventually worship him.
Tang Sen did not expect that he would hear news of the Brazen Bull Tribe being attacked before hearing news of other tribes seeking his blessing.
The Brazen Bull Tribe had seeds that no others had and plenty of food supplies. Other tribes had taken it to heart and remembered it.
They had not dared to attack for a long time due to Tang Sen's power. However, they became jealous when they saw the weaker tribes receive his blessing.
When they found out that the Divine Spirit they worshipped was not around after much snooping around, they gathered some people for a sneak attack.
The Brazen Bull Tribe was completely unprepared for such an attack. They did not have much experience in such things previously. The Brazen Bull Tribe was originally a very poor tribe.
In the past, the bigger tribes didn't care much about them when they went around robbing other tribes. Hence, they were completely unaware that someone would attack them after receiving Tang Sen's blessing.
When they finally reacted, the Wild Lion Tribe's butcher knife was already before their eyes.
Several people were hacked to death in their sleep. However, the adequate food and clothing the Brazen Bull Tribe had for many days were not completely useless. Their tacit understanding was much better than before since they grew food together in recent days.
When the Brazen Bull Tribe realized what was going on, they quickly split into two groups. One group tried to fight with the Wild Lion Tribe with just a few weapons. The other group quickly retreated with the children and those who were injured.
Fortunately, the food they ate had improved their body conditions. They also didn't bring much with them. They just ran with all they had.
When they arrived at a relatively safe place, tears nearly fell from the Chief's eyes. This time, the Brazen Bull Tribe had taken substantial damage.
