Chapter 1078: The Last Gift of Power (Part One)
Although this image was vague, Fei was 10,000 percent confident that this man was Emperor Ya.s.sin. At this moment, Emperor Ya.s.sin no longer had a supreme and dominating presence. Instead, he looked like a genial senior in an ordinary family.
“Child.” Emperor Ya.s.sin"s voice sounded distant as he lightly called out to Fei.
This voice instantly made the sadness in Fei"s mind many times more intense.
“My child, this is the last thing that Father can do for you. Please accept my gift of power. Let me… see… you… for the last time… my child… let Father… hug you… my child!”
While the distant yet clear voice called out, the screen before Fei suddenly shattered.
Emperor Ya.s.sin"s image walked out of the screen and opened his arms while moving toward Fei, trying to give the king a hug.
Fei opened his arms subconsciously, but he didn"t hug onto anything.
Emperor Ya.s.sin"s image turned into a streak of golden power of faith and merged into the king"s body.
In the next moment, the intense and n.o.ble golden power of faith in the area seemed to have gotten a signal, and it all quickly rushed into Fei"s body.
The golden power of faith was extremely potent. One tiny streak of it was better than a giant streak of ordinary power of faith.
The golden power of faith that Fei suddenly obtained was vaster and stronger than all the power of faith that he condensed before.
With the giant influx of power of faith, Fei instantly fell back into that mystical state without control, and his speed of refining the grand G.o.dly realm increased by many folds.
-The Banished Land-
“Fei! Fck you! You punk, going into seclusion cultivation at this moment! Fck your granddaddy!”
In the back palace of the Beast G.o.d Palace, Pope Entus was jumping around and shouting, and all kinds of curses flowed out of his mouth. This would be a shocking scene for orcs since anything that Pope Entus had said before was treated as life principles.
Fortunately, the pope was using Mandarin which was commonly used in China, and intelligent beings of this world couldn"t understand it.
Otherwise, Entus" followers and the saintesses who were looking at him with love would be shocked to their cores.
About 20 days had pa.s.sed, and more and more catastrophes were happening on the [Banished Land]. Catastrophes such as earthquakes, erupting volcanos, landslides, and falling meteors already caused great tragedies to the Behemoth Orc Tribe, and the expansion of the [Metal Desert] and [Vicious Swamp] far exceeded the most pessimistic estimates.
About one-third the continent became a paradise for fierce beasts, and the orcs had to temporarily move to the area that was safe at this point.
In about 20 days, the population of Behemoth Orc Tribe reduced to less than three-fifths of before; many orcs had died in the endless catastrophes.
The dire situation caused great panic and fear in the Behemoth Orc Tribe, and migrating back to the Azeroth Continent was the only option.
Even the clans that were stubborn and didn"t want to move back all became the avid supporters of the migration plan. In reality, the entire Behemoth Orc Tribe couldn"t wait to escape from the [Banished Land] and return to the beautiful and rich land from their legends.
At the same time, the inheritance of the pope position in the Beast G.o.d Palace was also put on the schedule, and it was happening in an orderly fashion under Entus" plan.
This process wasn"t complicated.
The orcs" beliefs and the protection of Beast G.o.d Rexxar guided all their decisions. Therefore, the selection of new people also required the Beast G.o.d"s guidance.
According to the ancient tradition, regardless if they were members of the powerful G.o.d-tier and silver-tier clans or the weak iron-tier clans, all orc clans were qualified to put forward candidates.
As long as the orc could trigger a miraculous response from Beast G.o.d Rexxar"s statue, this orc would become the next pope.
Chapter 1078: The Last Gift of Power (Part Two)
This method was so simple that it seemed a little childish, but the Behemoth Orc Tribe used this method to select the next pope for millennia, and no mistake had ever been made.
It was evident that this simple method chose the best candidate. Even the popes who came from the weak iron-tier clans proved themselves to the tribe later and became among the most prestigious and honorable members.
Compared to how humans schemed against each other and killed each other to get the position of pope in the Holy Church, the orcs were proud of their unique selection process.
Normally speaking, the chance of successfully selecting a new pope was greater among priests and shamans.
However, it didn"t mean that warriors couldn"t become the pope of the Beast G.o.d Palace.
In the history of behemoth orcs, there had been four popes who were warriors to begin with.
More importantly, the legendary Beast G.o.d Rexxar was an orc warrior who could summon battle beasts. The only thing was that the Beast G.o.d always had a black half-mask on his face, so even the popes of the Beast G.o.d Palace couldn"t say what the face looked like under the mask and which clan that Beast G.o.d Rexxar belonged to.
This time, the selection of the pope followed the ancient tradition as well.
However, out of more than 130 candidates that the various clans put forward, none of them were able to trigger a response from the Beast G.o.d by praying before Beast G.o.d Rexxar"s statue. It meant that all the candidates weren"t qualified.
However, this didn"t discourage the behemoth orcs. The testing process and the selection process continued in order.
The orcs believe that a new pope would rise up, obtain guidance from the Beast G.o.d, and lead the tribe toward a better future.
However, Pope Entus couldn"t sit still anymore.
According to the agreement that he made with the mysterious existence, Fei was the person who was going to take over his position. However, at this moment, Fei was in the middle of cultivation. Although increasing one"s strength was important, and warriors" moments of epiphany were rare and unpredictable, Entus wondered why Fei had to do it now.
“What if I die before the time is up? What will happen next?”
“The situation will be messy. Could it count as a breach of contract?”
“Will any punishments or terrifying consequences take place?”
In the last 20 days or so, Zhong Dajun, which was the poor Pope Entus, pointed at the direction of Fei"s hotel and cursed every day.
On the other hand, Great Priest Nash directly lived in the hotel that Fei was staying in, waiting for Fei to wake up from his moment of epiphany.
Nash was even more anxious compared to Entus who was the biggest "imposter" in history. This man was truly worried about the future of the tribe.
If the migration still didn"t start, the entire [Banished Land] was going to be devoured by the [Metal Desert] and [Vicious Swamp] that were quickly expanding, and the Behemoth Orc Tribe would die here.
The only good thing was that the [Legion of Light] of Chambord, the troop made of 100 golden-armored warriors led by a dark-armored demi-G.o.d named Basturk, was trying their best to protect the orcs.
This group of tireless warriors traveled to every catastrophe site and offered help, saving many orcs who were in trouble. Right now, they were the favorite warriors of behemoth orcs.
Rumors such as the King of Chambord having Beast G.o.d Rexxar"s bloodline and the King of Chambord being the reincarnation of Beast G.o.d Rexxar were quite popular among the orcs, and the orcs who were helped by the [Legion of Light] believed in the rumors as well. Gradually, even the orcs who had strong doubts became unsure under Pope Entus and the Beast G.o.d Palace"s propaganda.
Time quickly pa.s.sed by.
When the poor Zhong Dajun was about to go crazy, some news finally came in.
“Your Holiness! Your Holiness! Great news! Mr. Torres of Chambord and Mr. O"Neal have returned from the Azeroth Continent!” Great Priest Nash rushed into the Beast G.o.d Palace in excitement, and he almost lost his shoes in the process.
