Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

What excited the Yanhuang Tribe even more than these two breaking through to Level 4 warriors was the simultaneous breakthrough of Yu Hezhi and Mu Sheng to the Level 4 Great Witch! This was the most thrilling event for the Yanhuang Tribe!

Yan Shuangshuang immediately decided to take advantage of the idle cold season to celebrate with a divine worship ritual. In fact, given the current living conditions of the Yanhuang Tribe, they could hold divine worship rituals every year.

However, in the past years, the people of the Yanhuang Tribe were extremely busy, training and hunting and cultivating routinely, and even more so during the cold and hot seasons. Who had the time to organize a divine worship ritual?

Besides, everyone could eat whatever they wanted on a daily basis, except they couldn't have as many varieties as during divine worship rituals. Though they still longed for the rituals in their hearts, it was no longer as obsessive as before.

Moreover, this time the divine worship ritual was not just for honoring the gods; the leadership of the Yanhuang Tribe planned to formally appoint Yan Shuangshuang as the tribal leader during the ritual!

For a while now, although Yan Shuangshuang didn't carry the title of tribal leader, she had already been fulfilling the leader's responsibilities, and everyone had already regarded her as the leader. The people of Yanhuang Tribe felt it only natural for Yan Shuangshuang to officially become the leader.

Divine worship rituals were held after the end of the cold or hot seasons because they required a lot of food and were activities that could only be performed when the tribe was thriving. That's why the rituals took place when food was scarcest, after the cold and hot seasons.

Having survived the cold and hot seasons, a tribe that could still hold a lavish divine worship ritual was the best indicator of prosperity.

From the moment they decided to hold the divine worship ritual, everyone in the tribe began various preparations, such as gathering the necessary ingredients, seasonings, and building a suitable high altar for the ceremony.

All sorts of things came together, seemingly trivial, yet proving to be quite substantial when it was finally time to prepare.

The cold season ended with difficulty, and the divine worship ritual could finally begin. This time, the Yanhuang Tribe's ritual was extremely grand, with five Great Witches presiding! Yu Hezhi, Mu Sheng, and Tong He Yun took the lead, with Tong He Yun assisting.

Atop the high altar, the five Great Witches prayed and chanted blessings, while the crowd knelt below, devoutly praying and wishing together. Yan Shuangshuang knelt behind the five Great Witches, as always, sincerely thanking her Goddess.

The ceremony followed the old rules, proceeded according to the protocol. After everything concluded, it was Yan Shuangshuang's moment. She stood on a higher platform, adorned with a crown filled with vibrant feathers and beautiful stones, receiving the homage of the crowd.

In this world, there was not much distinction between high and low status; humans were all struggling to survive equally. Hence, there were no grand gestures of kneeling, and the so-called homage was simply everyone from the Yanhuang Tribe passing before Yan Shuangshuang with a hand on their chest, looking up to gaze upon her face.

Placing a hand on the chest was a sign of respect towards elders or peers; this etiquette did not involve any hierarchy and was somewhat similar to a military salute.

The most important thing during this process of observing Yan Shuangshuang was not the act of paying respects but remembering the appearance of the tribal leader, so as not to cross paths with the leader in the future without recognizing her.

Yan Shuangshuang stood above, like a rare species, being observed in turns by the people of the Yanhuang Tribe, including the children of the tribe.

Especially when she saw Chacha with its tail wagging behind, mimicking human gait on two little hind legs as it passed before her, the adorable sight almost made Yan Shuangshuang break composure and pick it up for cuddles and strokes.

After the divine worship ritual, Yan Shuangshuang officially became the leader of the Yanhuang Tribe, although she felt her days weren't much different from before.

Primarily because her status was already akin to that of a leader, even higher than leaders of other tribes. In other tribes, it was the Witch who truly called the shots, as the Witch was the representative of the Wise Man.

But in the Yanhuang Tribe, it was always Yan Shuangshuang who made the decisions, so she didn't feel much difference after becoming the leader, except that the way people addressed her changed. It was no longer "Divine Favored," but rather "Leader."

The cold season and the divine worship ritual passed, and the Yanhuang Tribe's lair couldn't be left unattended. Yan Shuangshuang, feeling rusty from staying in the tribe, decided to venture out again, while the Earth King Beast enjoyed its lazy mode in Paradise.

The lair of the Yanhuang Tribe still contains large areas of salt fruit, White Stone Fruit Forests, and Sweet Potato plantation zones, which cannot be neglected under any circumstances. Although the tribe currently lacks no food, it will have more mouths to feed in the future, and food is never too plentiful.

Moreover, even if not consumed by the tribe itself, it can be taken to the Mutual Market for trading essential items the tribe needs. Speaking of the Mutual Market, Yan Shuangshuang recalled being so busy in recent years that she hadn't had the chance to visit. It seemed time to find a chance to go, to trade some honey from the Chun Tribe.

While Yan Shuangshuang was contemplating the honey exchange with the Chun Tribe, she encountered people from the Chun Tribe at the Yanhuang Tribe's lair. Leading them was Yan Shuangshuang's old acquaintance, Hagen, but their condition was far from good, as they were short on food and exhausted.

Yan Shuangshuang didn't have time to ask questions; she immediately offered them a big meal. After they had eaten their fill, she began inquiring about what had happened.

In fact, Hagen's purpose in seeking out Yan Shuangshuang was straightforward: a plea for help. After the cold season, when the snow melted, Hagen's tribe faced a massive flood, which caused their cave to collapse. With no shelter, they were forced to migrate and were ambushed by the Cannibal Tribe.

Though the Chun Tribe was close to being a Great Tribe with nearly ten thousand people, the consecutive disasters caused significant losses, with over a thousand dead due to both natural and human calamities.

The flood washed away the tribe's stored food, and being far from their accustomed home brought changes in vegetation. Familiar edible plants were gone, and unfamiliar ones were unsafe to consume. The Chun Tribe's hunting and gathering were unsuccessful, pushing them into a state without food.

Within a few days, the Chun Tribe, burdened with its large population, could no longer manage. If they couldn't find enough food, people in the Chun Tribe were going to starve!

The desperation brought on by hunger threw the Chun Tribe into despair, and amidst this emotion, Hagen remembered Yan Shuangshuang,
