Chapter 867 - 853: Woven In

Jin Tuo nodded and said, "Yes, there are Demon Beasts."

"The words passed down by our ancestors are that long ago in our Beast World, there indeed were Demon Beasts. These Demon Beasts appeared out of nowhere, committing great slaughter. They were inherently bloodthirsty and brutal, unlike us Beastmen."

"The Beast God consumed His Divine Power to suppress these Demon Beasts and protect the Beastmen."

"Although the Demon Beasts ceased their rampage, the conflicts among the Beastmen gradually increased."

"Your mother said that someone is deliberately sabotaging the Power of Faith, unwilling to let the Beast God awaken and return."

"So she supported me in worshipping the Beast God Sacrificial Map."

"Nowadays, what you all are doing is very good. The Beastmen in our city are starting to involuntarily worship the Beast God, believing that the Power of Faith will increase."

Jin Tuo always believed that the Beast God would return.

Listening to all this, Su Muyao felt some of her doubts were resolved.

For instance, the Ice Wolf Beast God Fragment she previously acquired from the Ant Clan Beastman in the Secret Realm; the system also mentioned that it contained a faint Power of Faith.

Perhaps in the past, Beastmen worshipping left a trace of Power of Faith in the Ice Wolf Beast God Sacrificial Map.

That’s why all she did throughout the Snow Season in Black Rock City was right.

This brought a sense of comfort to Su Muyao’s heart.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jihan was not here.

At this moment, Xiao Jihan was at home looking after the three Zaizais.

Xuan Yan knew the wife was trying to help Xiao Jihan Become God; he already possessed the Beast God’s Blood.

Of course, Xuan Yan wouldn’t tell anyone these things, including his own father.

Xuan Yan simply said, "Now that the Snow Season is about to end, Black Rock City will organize caravans to spread the candles and Fire Sticks."

"The Bird Clan will do the same."

Naturally, the caravans in Black Rock City won’t fly as far as the Bird Clan.

But the caravans can cover the entire northern area.

This way, the Power of Faith will grow even more.

Jin Tuo nodded and said, "That’s very good."

"I hope the Beast God can awaken and return soon, so that the living environment of the Beastmen will not be like this."

"The reason we are more willing to worship the Ice Wolf Beast God is that it is said the Ice Wolf Beast God possesses Beast Taming Ability. As long as He is present, all creatures and beasts will follow His command and adhere to the rules He sets."

"Moreover, legend says the Ice Wolf Beast God can use Beast Taming Ability to collectively suppress Demon Beasts, with His Divine Power being extremely strong."

When saying these words, Jin Tuo’s eyes showed respect and admiration.

Isn’t this describing Xiao Jihan?

At this moment, the system quietly listened, looking at the female’s scroll nearby and said, "That scroll’s material seems different, not beast skin but like woven cloth, with some shimmering colors."

Su Muyao also gazed at that scroll.

For some reason, as she watched, her heart couldn’t help but accelerate.

"Gold... Golden Silkworm Silk woven."

Her nose ached, and she couldn’t help but think of Sang Yao.

Thought of the various silk garments he once wove.

Initially, when she entered ten thousand years ago, she met Sang Yao, and later he made a Magic Artifact clothing with Golden Silkworm Silk for her, which protected her and eventually shattered.

Later, as Su Qingluo, several thousand years ago, she was harmed by Cui Liyi and nearly died from losing her Immortal Phoenix Bone, only to be found and saved by Sang Yao in the snowstorm.

It was then she learned Sang Yao had been searching for her from ten thousand years ago, searching the entire world.

Having searched for so long, when he found her, she was barely clinging to life.

If it weren’t for Sang Yao’s utmost effort to save her, she would have perished in the snowstorm.

He nurtured her body with all his Power, taking care of her.

Wove various magnificent clothes for her.

To produce beautiful colors, he ate Spirit Plants that could yield hues.

In those times, he cared for her deeply, healing her fragmented heart.

This looks like the fabric Sang Yao wove, she somewhat recognized his weaving habits and style.

So, is this scroll related to Sang Yao?

Su Muyao wasn’t entirely sure.

But at this moment, she couldn’t help but think of Sang Yao.

After listening to Jin Tuo finish speaking, Su Muyao pointed to the painting next to him and asked, "What about that painting?"

Jin Tuo explained, "That too was found by the ancestors, discovered alongside the Beast God Sacrificial Map."

"According to the ancestors, this painting is even more important than the other one; see the fabric material isn’t ordinary."

"This painting isn’t drawn on, but woven on."

"I’ve never seen such weaving skills, nor do I know what kind of wonderful ability could achieve such a thing."

Su Muyao’s expression changed slightly as she looked at the painting, the female depicted was identical to her, but indeed wasn’t painted, it was woven.

The system became excited, "Host, this must be the work of an Insect Clan Beastman."

"The emotions of the Beastman who wove this painting were infused into it, creating something so beautiful."

"I can’t shake the feeling that it seems like Sang Yao."

"Host, I always felt Sang Yao’s identity isn’t simple; he should be more than just a Golden Silkworm Beastman."

"The words spoken by that Ant Beastman earlier also indicate that the Golden Silkworm Beastmen are very esteemed in their region and have the ability to refine Magic Artifacts."

At this point, Jin Tuo continued speaking, "Your mother said, that the female on this scroll is an Immortal Beastman, because the woven cloth is shining with seven colors, upon closer inspection, they are indeed seven-colored, thus an Immortal Beastman."

"Your mother mentioned that long ago, rumors said there were immortals and gods in Beast World, conjecturing that perhaps the assistance of an Immortal Beastman is needed for the Beast God to return."

"Thus, she told me to hang both scrolls here to facilitate the sacrifices."

While saying this, Jin Tuo appeared extremely earnest, looking at Xuan Yan and said, "Your mother is a High Priest, unlike ordinary High Priests, possessing Priest’s Blood, previously serving the Beast God, their clan of Pure-blooded Beastmen, upon awakening the Priest’s ability, can communicate with heaven and earth, with the Beast God’s consciousness, knowing many things unknown to regular Beastmen."

"However, a long time ago, many High Priests were assassinated, but the Bird Clan’s forces were strong, so your mother’s clan’s priestly abilities persisted."

"Your mother also found many strong Beast Husbands for protection."

"The Bird Clan would also automatically shield her."

For a clan, having a High Priest ensures the prosperity of the tribe.

A High Priest can guide the tribe’s direction, understanding things they don’t know.

Being highly respected.

Xuan Yan listened, his expression became solemn.

"Assassinated?"

Jin Tuo nodded and said, "Yes, we suspect it’s related to the Demon Beasts, but aren’t very certain."

"Thus Black Rock City only offers sacrifices discreetly."

"Actually, many Beastmen used to worship the Beast God, but for some reason, their numbers dwindled, and then a rumor spread saying that the Beast God abandoned the Beastmen."

"Another saying was that there is no Beast God in the world."

"Beastmen experiencing injustice would resent the Beast God for ignoring them, Wandering Beastmen were even more resentful, and when they saw Beastmen worship the Beast God, they would destroy and slaughter. So even if someone worshiped the Beast God, they dared not offer sacrifices."

"I can only privately offer sacrifices in the room, not daring to organize sacrifices in Black Rock City."

"Thus, only supremely powerful cities would possess a High Priest."
