All Gods: Lord’s Conquest

Chapter 197 Apocalypse Tribe

 On the largest island.

In the center of the island is a lush green grassland, where many wooden houses are built. They are scattered in an orderly manner on the grassland, integrating with the surrounding natural environment.

These wooden houses are built using 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, as well as 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 and is home to hundreds of thousands of people. Other tribesmen belong to various islands.

 In the center of the tribe, there is a towering tree that reaches into the sky.

It has broad branches and lush green leaves, 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 first produced seeds, Su Xingyu kept one. Later, he used the divine power of creation to continuously cultivate it to improve the quality of his talent, and finally planted it on the Apocalypse 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 siblings. While other second-generation sub-trees are still struggling for the seventh level, it has already broken through the eighth level. .

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 show respect for the Spirit-Gathering Tree, the Tianqi tribe designated it as a "holy tree" and worshiped it every year.

 Several large ranches were built around the core area of ​​the tribe, where many large ferocious beasts were bred.

From the appearance point of view, these ferocious beasts do not match the local environment. They do not look like native ferocious beasts, but more like someone has transported them from afar.

However, these large ferocious beasts are indeed prey captured by the Apocalypse tribesmen from the half-plane of the void when they go out for training.

They have many advantages, such as good meat quality, and docile Qi and blood, which is easy for ordinary people to absorb and consume.

 After years of domestication by the Tianqi tribe, they have already transformed from ferocious beasts into qualified farmed animals, providing a large amount of meat for the local tribesmen.

At the edge of the grassland, there is also 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, there is no doubt that this place 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 realm 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 is the exploration going this time? Is there any harvest?"

Li Qiong smiled "hehe", patted his chest, and said confidently: "I went out personally. If there is any problem, I will definitely come back with a great victory. This time we hunted a total of three ninth-level beasts and seven eighth-level beasts. The ferocious beast is enough for the tribe to use for a while.”

"The harvest this time is good, much better than last time." When Mo Qi heard this, he was slightly startled, as if he did not expect that the harvest this time would be so great, but he quickly frowned: "How are the casualties? Are you going to take 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 injuries. They will be fine after lying down for a few days." Okay, 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 spiritual energy concentration increases a lot, given the conditions in the surrounding islands, it is impossible for a ninth-level holy beast to be born in a short period of time without external intervention.

 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 an extraordinary strong person 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 Apocalypse tribe converted to the gods, they have received gifts from the gods from time to time.

For example, weapons and equipment, food and seeds, these are all gifts given to believers by the spirit of creation.

Of course, there are also opening up channels to connect to other void planes.

 Comparing the "King of Evernight"'s care for the Evernight Empire, and the "Ancestral God of Fear"'s care for the Naga Kingdom, 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 their daily prayers have not been answered.

 Only a small number of tribesmen can obtain the divine favor.

The Apocalypse Tribe has a religious religion within it, and its status is quite high, but they do not require every tribesman to believe in 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 in their hearts, doubt 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 a ferocious beast.

 After all, after the concentration of spiritual energy 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 not able to connect with this, which makes them feel uncomfortable.

 The Spirit of Creation has a great influence on the Apocalypse tribe, but there are no "people" in sight.

 Things will be done, but people will never see it.

 Very mysterious.

“When is the next trial?” 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, and all clan members need to come over, and nothing can be delayed."

Although the God of Creation did not explicitly say that all Tianqi people should believe in Him, Mo Qi believed that whether the God said it or not was one thing, and whether he did it or not was another matter.

 You should never forget your roots as a human being.

After reading the "books" that recorded the history of the tribe, Mo Qi knew very well what state the Apocalypse 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 was no third possibility. Therefore, in order to repay the gods, let alone anything else, at least the tribe must become fully religious.

 Today’s Apocalypse tribe really cannot lose the spirit of creation.

 Don’t say anything else, just say a few words.

Although the Spirit of Creation does not bestow exclusive divine favor on believers, 90% of the high-level extraordinary beings in the Apocalypse tribe are devout believers of the Spirit of Creation.

 Especially those “divine beasts” enlightened by gods, all of them are fanatical believers.

 In this world, the strong have absolute dominance over the weak.

 So no matter what the reason is, Mo Qidu believes that it is best for him to solve the tribe's faith issue first.

“Okay, which side of the temple do I need to inform?” 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 open your head and see what’s inside. The tribe is holding a ceremony to sacrifice the gods. If you don’t notify the temple, do you want me to preside over it?”

Li Qiong didn't care and smiled: "It's enough to say no earlier. If you don't say it, 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 quickly left the house and ran quickly towards the other side of the tribe, and soon arrived 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. It was held just two months ago. Why is it coming again..."

 Influenced by the creation gods, the high priest actually doesn't care much about sacrifices.

 Just like what I said before, as long as you don’t slander, it doesn’t matter if you are an unbeliever.

 Affected by this, the high priest did not like holding sacrificial ceremonies very much. There was no other reason than that it was too troublesome.

With this time, I might as well go to the temple and learn more about the laws left by the spirit of creation, and strive to break through to the demigod realm as soon as possible.

 That's right, the great priest is also a ninth-level priest.

 And the strength is not weak.

"I don't know, this is arranged by the patriarch." Li Qiong replied honestly.

"Ask the clan leader for me. Why don't we hold it this time? The day of God's coming will be in two weeks. We can hold it together then." After thinking about it, the high priest said in a tentative tone.

“No, I already informed everyone on the way here.” Li Qiong shook his head.

　　　…”

 The great priest was speechless.

 After a while, the high priest sighed and reluctantly accepted the reality: "Okay, you go back and tell the clan leader, I know what to do."

 Li Qiong left satisfied.

 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 **** 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 are used as food, which looks normal.

 A grand, yet plain sacrifice.

Huge power of faith surged 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 has accelerated, and the ancient bloodline of ferocious beasts has begun to revive.

 “Thanks to my Lord, creation will last forever.”

 The changes in the statue made all the Tianqi 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 **** from ancient mythology.

A pair of silver eyes, deep and bright, as if they can 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 sparkles 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 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, those places either don’t have enough believers to create a faith impact, or are too far away to affect Him.

 After briefly checking the situation, Su Xingyu was speechless.

 “This is the first time I’ve encountered it. 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 his practice to deal with the sudden influx of faith.

 The current 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.
