Chapter 169 We need the Beast God, and the Beast God needs us too!
At this moment, Azhi asked loudly, "There are guardian stone tablets representing the four divine beasts in the four directions, so where are the beast gods?"
Linni gave Azhi an encouraging smile: "Why don't you take a guess?"
A-Zhi stared blankly at her smile for a moment, when A-Ping shouted, "Is the Beast God in the Central Forest?"
Lin Ni nodded immediately: "That's right!"
These words sparked further whispers among the beastmen. Suddenly, Aruo shouted, "The Beast God's deeds are unspeakable; you must not blaspheme him!"
Linni looked at Aruo and asked, "The Beast God has always protected the Beastman Continent. We not only talk about the Beast God every day, but you also sang many songs about the Beast God just now. Why do you still say that everything about the Beast God is unspeakable?"
"This..." Aruo was immediately speechless.
Yao suddenly spoke slowly. He didn't speak loudly, but his voice resonated in the ears of all the orcs on the mountaintop: "Regarding the Beast God, anything that praises the Beast God and is correct can be said; only slander and curses against the Beast God are unspeakable and blasphemous. All the beauty and greatness of the Beast God needs to be constantly sung by the orcs. Only through oral transmission can the legacy be preserved. It is because no one sings of it that the four guardian stone tablets are mistaken for the Beast God's tablets; it is because no one speaks of it that the guardian orcs' lineage has been broken; it is because no one speaks of it that the Beast God has fallen into slumber, and everyone has forgotten the Beast God, thus losing His divine power. If the Beast God's messenger doesn't ask today, who will think that the Beast God is in the Central Forest? Who among you still knows the name of the Beast God? What does the Beast God look like? We always say that the Beast God protects us, but how does the Beast God protect us? When has He ever displayed His divine power? No one speaks of it, so no one will ever know..."
When these words, so deeply moving, rang in the ears of the women, most of them immediately began to reflect on their own behavior. Women were the most susceptible to sensing the power of the Beast God; everyone knew the Beast God favored women, yet it was the women who kept saying: "The Beast God's power is unspeakable!" They not only refused to speak of it themselves, but also forbade others to do so. Could it be that they were the ones who harmed the Beast God?
Aping clutched her chest, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Beast God, I was wrong! Great Beast God, please wake up!"
After she finished speaking, a red light suddenly flashed on her forehead: she had been upgraded to a high-level female!
This unexpected turn of events shocked all the beastmen present: it was true, Ah Ping sincerely admitted her mistake, and she immediately upgraded to a high-level female! What could be more convincing to the beastmen than seeing it with their own eyes at this moment? The beastmen all bowed their heads and repented to the Beast God.
Lin Ni looked at Yao, who had been by her side the whole time. He was still as handsome and dashing as ever. His golden eyes, shimmering with light, were looking down at the striking women below the platform with a smile of contentment, as if he had a great love for humanity… Lin Ni couldn’t help but recall the first time she met him, when she asked him his name and he said, “I don’t know my name. No one in this world remembers my name.” Combining this with what he said now, could he be—the answer was so obvious, but Lin Ni dared not think any further. Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest. The answer was too incredible; she dared not imagine it.
Noticing Lin Ni's gaze, Yao turned around and smiled at her: "Little Ni, please continue."
"Go on, what should I say?" Lin Ni looked at the orcs below the platform repenting to the Beast God, and suddenly spoke up, loudly proclaiming, "The Beast God created the Orc Continent, allowing us to live on this beautiful and bountiful land. He has always protected us. We need the Beast God, and the Beast God needs us! I hope everyone can spread this message and sing it aloud, telling all the orcs on the Orc Continent, so that we can all contribute our strength to help the Beast God regain his divine power and descend upon the Orc Continent once more, okay?"
"Yes!" the beastmen of the Eagle Beast Tribe responded in unison: "Restore divine power! Descend once more! Restore divine power! Descend once more!"
Amidst the cheers, Linni sang the melody that the beastmen on the towering cliffs often chanted: "Great Beast God, all-powerful, your brilliant light shines upon the earth. With fiery passion, we beg you to awaken anew! Your power can cleanse the earth of all evil. Under your radiant light, we are united and joyful!"
(For those who want to sing, please refer to the melody of "Goddess of Joy". The lyrics are a rough adaptation by Corn, and the writing is not very good, so please bear with it. Anyway, that's the gist of it.)
The familiar melody, coupled with Lin Ni's slightly modified lyrics, prompted everyone to sing along when she sang it for the second time. Even after Lin Ni pointed towards the Central Forest, everyone turned around, faced the Central Forest, and made a blessing gesture while singing.
The Central Forest is a flat, dense forest, and at its very center stands a volcano taller and larger than any mountain on the Orcish continent. Most of the flying orcs of the Eagle Beast Tribe have flown to that place. So, although Linni didn't say that the Beast God slumbered in the volcano, when she confirmed Aping's statement that the Beast God was in the Central Forest, all the orcs knew that the Beast God was in the volcano.
Because the platform was located to the south of the mountaintop, and the central forest to the north of the towering cliffs, after everyone turned towards the central forest, they were all facing away from Linni. Linni and Yao stood behind all the orcs, watching them chant devoutly. She seemed to sense an invisible energy rising from them, slowly drifting towards the dormant volcano in the central forest—or perhaps, Beast God Mountain. Could this be the power of faith?
Suddenly, Yao lowered his head and kissed Lin Ni's lips. Before she could react, he turned around, hoisted her onto his back, leaped forward, and transformed into a golden-red phoenix, taking flight. Lin Ni clung tightly to him from behind, feeling that if she had reacted even a fraction of a second slower, she might have fallen off his back. But she didn't; she remained firmly on his back, flying with Yao into the starless night sky of the Beastman Continent. Under the ever-round full moon, Yao circled once in the sky before flying down the mountain where they lived.
Yao's phoenix form was far more dazzling and awe-inspiring in the pitch-black night than it had been during the day. The beautiful divine bird, the phoenix, emitting a red glow with faint golden light, flew across the horizon, leaving a red trail in the dark night sky before disappearing into the distance, but leaving a lasting impression on the hearts of the beastmen.
"What a beautiful firebird!"
What kind of bird is that?
"Is that an orc?"
Bai proudly replied, "That is the divine bird, the phoenix!"
The divine phoenix! With such a dazzling and magnificent beastly body, it truly deserves the name of a divine bird!
