Chapter 1401 - 1240: Ancient Beast World 6
Dou Yan and Shi Li knelt on the ground, sincerely thanking the Earth Lord God for watching over their Silver Tiger Clan, and personally bestowing the Great Witch upon them.Both of them bowed with genuine gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, even though before this, they had no idea that there was an Earth Lord God.
But it didn’t matter, as gods were everywhere in the Beastman World, and each tribe had its own deity to worship.
Some of these gods were imagined by the beastmen, while others were learned of through the Great Witch’s communication with the heavens and earth. Although the truth was unknown, gods indeed flourished across the Beastman World.
After expressing their gratitude to the Earth Lord God, Dou Yan and Shi Li began to discuss how to worship this Earth Lord God within the tribe.
The gods that were worshipped when the previous Great Witch was around also needed to be removed. Since this god no longer watched over the tribe by sending down a Great Witch, it meant the god had abandoned the Silver Tiger Clan, and naturally, they no longer needed to worship it.
Moreover, with the new Main God requiring worship, the tribe couldn’t spare the effort to worship another god.
Even if they could worship, they would not continue to do so, lest they displease the Earth Lord God currently favoring the tribe, which would not be worth the risk.
However, they had never heard of the Earth Lord God before, nor did they know if this Main God had any preferences or taboos, or how exactly to worship.
The methods and rules for worshiping gods varied greatly, with no two being the same. Some were relatively gentle, requiring only a simple three-animal offering, while others demanded any kind of prey, but some gods required extremely cruel methods of worship.
Dou Yan directly asked Shuangshuang, who was personally favored by the Earth Lord God, how exactly the Earth Lord God should be worshiped.
While waiting for Shuangshuang’s answer, Dou Yan was quite anxious, hoping this Earth Lord God was not a cruel deity and that the method of worship was simpler.
It’s no wonder Dou Yan was so worried, as some gods’ demands for worship were indeed excessively cruel and perverted. Dou Yan had once encountered a tribe with an extremely cruel method of worship.
When they worshipped, they would choose two pairs of young male and female orcs in advance, then decapitate them as offerings. Before beheading, they would also severely torment them.
The entire process was extremely cruel and bloody, and because the god they worshipped was very violent, the tribe was also fond of invading other tribes and was thus despised by both gods and men.
Dou Yan was very afraid this Earth Lord God was such a deity. Shuangshuang did not know Dou Yan’s thoughts, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to keep the ritual simple.
"The Earth Lord God is a very merciful Main God, and his requirements for offerings are also simple. Just present the best prey from the tribe, no need to demand other offerings."
As soon as Shuangshuang spoke, Dou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Earth Lord God was a very benevolent god, and the requirements for offerings were so lenient.
Having determined how to prepare the offerings for the Earth Lord God, Dou Yan pulled Shi Li and Tu Ya away to start preparations, leaving Saran to accompany Shuangshuang.
Outside, it was rare for there to be such excitement. Although Shuangshuang didn’t particularly enjoy the excitement, she didn’t want her young and slightly restless natured mother to have to stay with her in the cave either.
Thinking about this, Shuangshuang said to Saran, "Mother, it sounds so lively outside. Why don’t you accompany me for a walk to see if there’s anything we can help with."
Saran was already itching to go out, and when Shuangshuang suggested it, she immediately agreed. Shuangshuang and Saran left the cave, greeted by an extremely lively scene outside.
To speak of Saran’s age, she had only just turned twenty. She gave birth to Shuangshuang at fifteen, which was unimaginable in modern society but perfectly normal in this primitive world.
A few young female orcs gathered together to dance. While it was called dancing, it was actually just a simple twisting of the waist and swaying of the hips.
Several orcs formed a circle, stomping continuously on the ground with their feet. Rather than dancing, it was more like aimless limb movement, lacking any aesthetic appeal.
Shuangshuang suddenly recalled how Su Jinghao had once captivated the entire tribe with a piece of classical dance from the modern world that was very beautiful, though she performed it clumsily and full of mistakes.
With a cold smile at the corner of her mouth, Shuangshuang thought that if the girls in the tribe all started dancing well, she doubted that Su Jinghao’s clumsy dance, which was only impressive to primitive orcs too busy with survival to study dance, could still astonish everyone.
Back then, Su Jinghao’s dance had made the entire tribe’s male orcs swoon and even stirred the heart of Yan Ming, the tribe’s Great Witch who rarely participated in tribal activities and who suddenly decided to join that activity.
With thought turned to action, Shuangshuang directly beckoned the most beautiful girls with the best figures in the tribe to come over.
Although Shuangshuang appeared only a few years old, no tribe member dared to disobey her orders.
Realizing it was Shuangshuang calling them, several female orcs quickly gathered in front of her, waiting for her instructions.
Because of Shuangshuang’s status as the Great Witch, her not behaving like a child did not seem odd to any tribe member. Instead, they thought it perfectly natural for the Great Witch to be different from ordinary beastmen.
Shuangshuang looked at these female orcs; their figures were good, their looks were good, and if they studied well, they should be able to perform a dance that could amaze people.
"I called you over because I suddenly remembered that there should be a God Sacrifice Dance during the altar. I’ll now teach you the God Sacrifice Dance, so you must study hard. It’s okay if you don’t learn it well at first, you can take your time, but you must be serious and diligent, no slacking off."
The female orcs hadn’t expected Shuangshuang to call them over to teach them to dance, but the God Sacrifice Dance sounded like a very important matter. To the orcs, nothing was more important than the gods.
At that, the female orcs excitedly said, "Great Witch, rest assured, we will work hard to learn and won’t be lazy."
"Entrusting us with such an important task, we will not let you down, Great Witch."
The female orcs looked at Shuangshuang with sparkling eyes, extremely excited. They didn’t understand about diligence. They just knew they certainly wouldn’t be lazy.
Shuangshuang nodded: "Since you’ve said so, let’s begin learning the dance. I’ll demonstrate it first, and then teach you step by step."
Speaking of dancing, Shuangshuang had never really learned before, but with her long practice in martial arts, many martial arts moves were much harder than dancing. To replicate a dance she had seen before, without needing it to be exactly the same, getting it seventy or eighty percent right was easy, and that was enough.
The only pity was that Shuangshuang’s body was too young. A dance that should have been solemn and filled with ultimate grace and poignancy came out as merely a child’s imitation of an adult, but adorably so.
Although more cute than serious, it was still impressive enough to awe these primitive beastmen who had never seen much of the outside world.
