NOVEL NEXT Chapter 531: The Great Chief 49
Thank you to the beautiful Goddess in my heart, thank you for giving me a chance to relive my life and make up for regrets, thank you for giving me a healthy body to become strong, thank you for watching over me so that I fear nothing, thank you for your mercy choosing me.
On the stone platform, after the long incantation was recited, everyone, under the leadership of the three Great Witches, prostrated nine times and then stood up. On the stone platform, after the three Great Witches also completed their bows, they stood up and closed their eyes, opening their hands towards the crowd below the stage.
Then, a magical scene appeared, countless points of light shimmering in seven colors emanated from the three Great Witches and gracefully fell onto the people below. Once these points of light landed on them, they entered into their bodies.
Yan Shuangshuang felt the light points entering her body; there was no noticeable change in strength, but her body felt as if it had been cleansed, becoming light and refreshed, her mental state unprecedentedly good.
It seems these light points have a healing effect on the body, although they do not increase strength, they are undoubtedly a rare blessing.
After the colorful light points dispersed, the three Great Witches withdrew their hands, and everyone immediately bowed in thanks, grateful for the Witches' use of witch power to bestow blessings upon them.
After the blessings, the person with the most strength and merit in the tribe would perform the invocation, and this choice was undoubtedly Yan Shuangshuang.
Before the invocation, the person performing it must first dance, a dance which the three Great Witches could not interfere with, requiring Yan Shuangshuang to choreograph it herself.
Yu, Zhi, and Yun, the three Great Witches, gave very irresponsible advice to Yan Shuangshuang for this: they told her to close her eyes, empty her mind, follow her heart, and the dance moves would naturally appear in her mind.
Yan Shuangshuang's reaction to this was that following her heart resulted in her taking several naps in broad daylight, utterly confused about how this abstract way of following the heart functioned. Eventually, having slept too much, Yan Shuangshuang decisively decided to choreograph a segment herself.
In modern society, there are countless types of dances. Yan Shuangshuang directly choreographed a small, grandiose dance segment to use before her invocation.
Standing on the stone platform at this moment, Yan Shuangshuang, clad in snow-white fur, began her majestically choreographed dance, matching the atmosphere of the time, solemn yet carrying the aura of ancient desolation, full of charm.
After the dance, the invocation followed. The incantations for the invocation were previously taught by Yu, which Yan Shuangshuang directly recited. When the incantations were done, the most important opening of this divine worship ceremony was complete.
With the proclamation of "Let us begin the revelry!" by the three Great Witches, the true highlight of the divine ceremony officially started, during which, for five days, all attendees ate, drank, played, and did nothing but revel.
A variety of delicacies were prepared by everyone, and although seasonings like green onions, ginger, and garlic, which Yan Shuangshuang knew well, were missing, the taste of Flaming Grass and chili beans was equally delightful.
When the revelry ended, everyone was left longing for more, fantasizing about what they would eat at next year's divine ceremony.
As for whether the divine ceremony could continue next year, everyone couldn't help thinking of Yan Shuangshuang, the Divine Favored, and firmly believing that it certainly would. Not only next year, but every year thereafter, they would hold the divine ceremony.
After the revelry of the divine ceremony ended, everyone quickly returned to their normal lives, and Yan Shuangshuang began to diligently teach everyone how to refine the use of Warrior Power.
Then Yan Shuangshuang discovered that when she was researching and using Warrior Power herself, she never thought it was difficult. But when it came to teaching everyone to use the power, Yan Shuangshuang felt she was going to be driven to distraction by their thick-headedness.
She explained a thousand times to just use a fraction of the Warrior Power, and refined this sensation through countless explanations, but the people still ended up using up all their Warrior Power in one go, collapsing limply to the ground waiting to recover.
After seven or eight days of teaching, even the strongest warriors, Ben, Mang, Jian, Tie, and Shen, next only to Yan Shuangshuang, still hadn't mastered the refined use of this power. Yan Shuangshuang was speechless: Were their heads made of stone? Completely uninspired!
Although the tribe had enough food not to worry about starvation, they had not been hunting for a while, and their meat supplies were running low. While Cannibal Fish were easy to catch, once the sun rose again in a few days, the weather would warm completely, marking the spawning season for the Cannibal Fish; they needed to preserve their numbers to maintain the ecological balance.
This world didn't have so-called invasive species; these Cannibal Fish were native species, which meant the biological chain was complete. There must be fish in the river that depended on Cannibal Fish to survive. In such circumstances, excessive hunting by humans would disrupt the ecological environment.
Although the current population of the tribe couldn't yet damage the ecosystem of the river, Yan Shuangshuang had ambitious plans to expand the tribe. When the population reached the thousands, even tens of thousands, relying only on Cannibal Fish would disrupt ecological balance.
More importantly, the characteristic of the Cannibal Fish made them easy to hunt. If the Hunting Team became reliant on this easy method, unwilling to face fierce beasts, the tribe's extinction would not be far away.
This isn't Earth's primitive society, but an Otherworld full of fierce beasts and ferocious creatures.
If it were modern primitive society, Yan Shuangshuang would have already led people to build houses, construct protective walls, and then lead the tribe to live outside the caves in a village form. After all, living in houses is much more comfortable than caves.
However, this is not Earth's primitive society; given the strength of the fierce beasts of this world, even the Great Wall in Chinese history wouldn't withstand a single strike from those powerful beasts.
In such circumstances, if humans truly fell into, or even indulged in, a comfortable life without the danger of hunting, they would only be courting death. So, no matter what, the people in the tribe must not give up the desire to enhance their own power.
If one day, humans can rely on their own strength to become top hunters alone, then humankind will stand at the pinnacle of the biological chain and achieve hegemonic status, and the mysterious Warrior Power within the human body is the hope of realizing this vision.
Yan Shuangshuang had great plans: first to elevate the tribe's combat power, then to expand the hunting grounds while fostering good relations with nearby smaller tribes.
