Chapter 124: 5.26 First Violet Star – Soleil Tribe’s Elders
Last night’s revelations left chaos in all tribes in the primitive world. The facts about the trials from the Beast God were all sent for everyone to experience as a dream. Thankfully there are only two trials but in spite of it, no one could become happy about it. First, winter had already arrived. According to the timeline, that hellish winter with cruel snowstorms and hail would be coming soon. They don’t have enough time to prepare. They don’t even know when the exact time the snowstorm would land.
Second, this is a problem from the other tribes, no one of them knows who that pair is nor which tribe they’ve come from. They had to blindly guess which of the big tribes would know the identities of the chosen ones.
The Lune Tribe has no problem with this as the chosen pair were their own tribesmen.
It’s a bit different for the Soleil Tribe. The instant their Tribe Priest had woken up from the dreams of revelation, he immediately comes over to the tribe leader, Shizi, and requests for a tribe meeting with all the elders. Shizi who saw the same dream didn’t question his tribe’s priest and instantly calls the rest of the elders for an emergency meeting.
This is an event that took place at dawn before sunrise.
In a huge tent, Shizi sat at the most honorable position in the place. He waited for the rest of the participants of this meeting to arrive. He sat in his position with his back straight while imposing a heavy presence to show his authority as the tribe leader. Beside him the old Tribe Priest was silent as mute with his head lowered as if thinking deeply about something.
Some elders who just woke up from their dreams all had pale faces while in daze. They’ve obviously just woke up from a nightmare. If not because they’ve all heard the message from their Beast God that they wouldn’t believe what they saw in that dreamland. Some of them were even sneaking peeks at the young tribe leader who sat at the honorable seat with a heavy presence. They could remember every word of rejections they’ve sprouted to this young leader this afternoon.
This afternoon Shizi, who had arranged a tribe’s meeting, informed them about his initial plan to meet the elders of the hated Lune Tribe. It was just a small talk of concession. When they heard about the tribe leader’s plan to make amends with their enemy tribe, most of the elders had blown out in anger and wished they could clearly deliberate this foolish tribe leader of their tribe. But they do remember Shizi’s words this afternoon before ending the meeting in anger.
“You do not need to tell this lord your decision yet. Let’s wait for a night and you can seriously think about it. As for whether this lord’s words are nonsense or not, you should be able to understand it tonight! Disperse!!!” The words Shizi had said in the afternoon tribe’s meeting a few hours ago.
Once they’ve met Shizi’s meaningful gaze, these old men couldn’t help but lower their heads in distress and remorse. They had a feeling that their faces were slapped multiple times before they were able to understand their tribe leader’s meaning.
Once Shizi saw that all elders had arrived, he ignored them for a while.
“Chiya come over!” commanded Shizi.
As soon as his words ended Warrior Leader of Soleil Tribe, Chiya had appeared beside Shizi. He was saluting at Shizi and the tribe elders but his eyes only focused on their tribe leader.
Chiya respectfully spoke, “You call, tribe leader?” he said.
Shizi responded, “Go ask Rina to prepare. You and him would be the representatives I’ve chosen to watch over the decisions the Lune Tribe leader and elder would make. You’ll leave at sunrise.”
“I will have Rina get prepared.” replied Chiya.
Shizi, “While you’re at it, make sure to prepare a place for the esteemed guests the Lune Tribe would be sending.”
“Chiya will make the necessary preparations.” answered Chiya.
Shizi waves his hand to indicate that Warrior Chiya could take his leave to do his orders. Chiya saluted once again before exiting the place. Only then did Shizi look at the elders of his tribe before him. He looked at them one by one and noticed that no one except the tribe priest is willing to meet his gaze. They were even lowering their heads afraid that the tribe leader would point them out personally and reprimand them from their audaciousness this afternoon.
“Now. Do you understand what this Lord’s words in the midday means? Though I didn’t directly receive a revelation like the chosen ones, this lord could still sense the future danger looming over our tribe. This is also the reason why I’ve agreed to the talks of concession with the Young Leader and the strongest warrior of the Lune Tribe.” said Shizi.
The elders keep their silence. Even though they wanted to retort against the words of their leader, once they’ve recalled the details of that nightmare no one of them could open their mouths. They all feel that they have no right once those hellish scenes appeared in their minds.
Among the elders only the tribe priest who had seen more details of the dream had spoken his side.
“Tribe Leader I have something to inform the tribe. This is about the ending of the Trials we all had experienced in our dreams. The Beast God had shown as Tribe Priests the ending of the trial.” said the tribe priest.
Every elders inside the tent gasped in surprise when they heard the tribe priest’s words. No one among the rest of the tribe including the tribe leader had seen the ending of those nightmarish scenes. Even Shizi showed surprise when he heard the Tribe Priest words.
Seeing the astonished look of the tribe leader, the tribe priest had sighed as if he got an answer to his confusion. “I see. The tribe leader hasn’t seen the endings of those trials as well.”
“This lord indeed didn’t see the ending. I was forced to wake up after hearing the esteemed Beast God’s words.” replied Shizi.
The Tribe Priest said, “Then this means only the Tribe Priest of each tribe had seen the endings of the trials. Then now have the responsibilities to inform the tribe about the endings of the trials. Sadly there isn’t much. There are only two endings for the trials.”
“Two endings? There are two results!?” another elder asked
“What is it? Tell us!” urgently asked by a tribe elder.
Shizi looked at the tribe priest and nodded his head. This is a gesture telling the tribe leader to go ahead and inform the tribe.
Seeing the tribe leader’s gesture the tribe priest announced the result of the trials in accordance with what he had seen in his dream.
Nod!
“The first ending is the death of the world and the second one is… the survival of everyone. But to achieve the second ending there are requirements that must be fulfilled those are… things you guys might not agree.” said the tribe priest.
Once Shizi heard the last sentence from what the tribe priest had said, he could only somewhat guess what he meant. While the other elders were still left bewildered and guessed silently in their minds what the tribe priest’s words mean. There’s a sudden silence in the area. Seeing the expressions of his tribe’s elders, the tribe priest couldn’t help but exhale a helpless sigh.
Sigh~
Shizi looked at the tribe priest and asked things to complete his conjectures.
“Is the ending for survival had something to do with the Lune Tribe?” asked Shizi.
The tribe priest instantly nodded his head as an answer to his tribe leader’s question. Seeing this interaction the elders were left dumbfounded but the two choose to ignore the rest and focus on the important point of the conversation.
Shizi asked, “Does it involve the whole Lune tribe or not?”
“No. There are only two concerned individuals. One of them is someone our tribe knew and guarded against for years.” replied the tribe priest.
Hearing this answer Shizi’s eyes squinted to show that he guessed whom the tribe priest is talking about.
“Is it the Lune Tribe’s strongest warrior, Meizhou?” asked Shizi curiously.
“Yes. Meizhou of the Lune Tribe is one of the two chosen ones the Beast God had appointed to save the world. While the other one is someone I haven’t met before but… this person possesses a peculiar hair color and eyes that match the legend of the Lune Tribe. Hair with the same shade as that of a snow and eyes that is dyed with the color of sky and seas. The same features of the strongest female in the myth. He must be the descendant of the White Devil from the last war.” answered the tribe priest.
This time the commotion inside the place cannot be held back. Meizhou being pointed at as a chosen one is not a surprise as he had the reputation of a War God in this primitive world. He is that strong. His fame had widely spread that most of the tribes had known his existence. But the descendant of the White Devil is not expected.
After all they’ve all thought that the White Devil who died from his hidden injuries he got from the last war had died without any descendants. Moreover for the last few years, only Meizhou’s name had become famous as the strongest warrior from the Lune Tribe. Only now they knew that the Lune Tribe had hidden this news to protect the new White Devil that guards the Lune Tribe.
An elder shivered thinking about this topic, “That White Devil has… a descendant!!?” just thinking about this sent chills in their bodies.
“I-Is this a dream too?” an elder uttered in shocked.
That is just not a simple descendant. That is the offspring of the devil who conquered the tribe wars for decades. It is a bloodline that is feared by all warriors. The elders who used to be warriors had trembled while recalling the hell on earth scene from their memories. Most of them were left dazed as they reminisced about the past.
Only Shizi reacted differently, in his mind he recalled the meeting he had with that God-like presence which Meizhou pampers like its his own life. According to the tribe priest’s word, that female called Xuebao is also a chosen being by the Beast God.
“So the ones who can bring us the result of survival during the trials are those two? Meizhou and the white devil’s descendant?” asked Shizi.
“Yes. Sadly only they could save this world as it was their destiny to do so.” replied the tribe priest.
Shizi responded, “I see. Hm~ the representatives from the Lune Tribe would be coming over in the morning. I guess everyone here agreed to the two tribes’ meeting a few days from now.”
He said while looking around the elders checking whether there are still people who would voice their disagreements. Thankfully except for their ugly expressions no elders disagree with the Two Tribes’ Meeting. Now they only need to talk about how they should proceed with the details from that upcoming meeting. They need to get at least an equal standing with the Lune Tribe. This is what the elders and the tribe leader had to brainstorm for these few days.
Seeing there’s no longer dispute against the plan of Shizi, he left the meeting for the tribe priest to supervise. They would need to plan for the details on their own at least for tonight.
Shizi who went out of the tent looked at the pitch black sky above him. Only the huge moon had lit up his surroundings a bit.
“Sigh~ the responsibilities this vessel has is a pain in the ass. Not being able to OOC is annoying too. The only good thing that happened lately is seeing Ming’er and meeting the Lord in this world. I wonder why the Lord had awakened early in this world? That monster must have done something…” whispered Shizi in the darkness.
