Hearing this, Sui was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the information about Josh.
He was about 100 years old, born as a barbarian in the north, and used to be the chief of the Ice Bear tribe. He believed in the goddess of snowfield and blizzard in the north, who was also known as the Queen of the North. This goddess was very powerful. Although she was only a mid-level Divine Power, she had more than one conflict with a great Divine Power without being at a disadvantage. It was generally believed that she was as powerful as a great Divine Power. Although she usually sent more disasters than blessings, with her great strength and ferocious deterrence, her belief in the north was very solid, even more than that of the barbarian's patron god, the Bear Herding Elder.
Most people in the Ice Bear tribe believed in the Bear Herding Elder, the patron god of the barbarians. However, Josh was different. As a strong individual, he couldn't agree with the old man who had the support of the good gods and barbarians, but was still at a disadvantage against the evil gods of the Arctic Alliance led by the Empress of the North. So, he chose to follow the strong individual and became a believer of the Empress of the North.
In fact, he was not only a believer, but also a clergyman — he was a Soul Shaman.
Shamans were a type of clergyman unique to areas with a relatively low level of civilization. Unlike priests, they did not directly communicate with God through prayer to obtain Divine Power and spells. Instead, they first communicated with "spirits," and then communicated with God through the "spirits." Spirits were generally promoted from the ancestors of the tribe, or transformed from a powerful creature living near the tribe. They only had spirits left, but they were very powerful, probably equivalent to the power of an oracle.
In the Shaman's belief system, spirits were the real medium of Divine Power, and the importance of the clergyman was not high. As long as a tribe had high-level spirits, even if the Shaman's level was not high, he could still cast powerful spells.
Some Shamans did not believe in gods, but in ancestral spirits, so they could ignore this step. Although they were more primitive and barbaric, they were more like priests.
Josh's spirit was a powerful monster, the Ice Bear. When he first became a believer of the Queen of the North, he went out to hunt alone. With extraordinary bravery and luck, he hunted down this ferocious monster and pleased the Goddess, becoming her clergy. The Ice Bear's soul was transformed by the Goddess into his own soul.
If things continued to develop like this, perhaps Josh would become a Great Chieftain of the Northlands or a famous Great Shaman. Perhaps in a few decades or even a century, he might even lead an army of barbarians to the south to fight against the Orc Empire, becoming a part of the history of the "Northwind Ice Disaster".
However, perhaps it was the teasing of fate, or perhaps it was just a game that the Goddess did not care about. The Ice Bear Tribe was destroyed by the harsh cold and snowstorm one winter. Josh prayed very hard and even offered his only child as a sacrifice, but the Goddess did not show any mercy.
In the end, Josh, who had lost everything, became enraged. He hated and cursed the goddess he believed in. Then, he left the snowy plains and headed south.
He had been wandering for several years. Although the hatred in his heart had never subsided, the anger in his chest had gradually subsided. Then he was thinking, thinking about what he should do.
The dead were gone, and the dead could not be resurrected. His goal of revenge was also very difficult to achieve. Was he going to spend the rest of his life in hopeless hatred and curses?
In a daze, he came to the Ancient Forest in the south. He encountered the legendary temple that had existed since the beginning of the world, and he met the old sage who was said to be older than the gods.
Although the sage was only a frog the size of a fist, he gave him very good advice. So, he decided to change his goal and rebuild the Ice Bear Tribe.
His plan was to have enough children, and then have grandchildren … This way, as long as he worked hard, maybe after four or five generations, he would be able to rebuild the Ice Bear Tribe.
Many people were very surprised. They did not understand why Josh was so determined to rely on his descendants to rebuild the tribe. Sui Xiong had once asked Josh about this, and Josh's answer was, "Only my descendants can inherit my wrath."
Only his descendants can inherit his wrath? Sui Xiong did not think so.
However, he did not intend to refute. He only watched Josh curiously, wanting to see how far this barbarian could go.
In order to have enough descendants, Josh was very indulgent in his private life. When he was active in the Double-Headed Crane City, at least one-third of the female mercenaries and almost all the prostitutes in the city had a fixed or irregular relationship with him. Later, he joined the Church of the Void Mask and became the leader of the mobile force. He used almost all of his income to increase the number of women around him, or rather … increase the number of descendants.
As far as Sui Xiong knew, when he became a Legendary Master, he already had more than 50 descendants.
After becoming a Legendary Master, Josh actually became a little more reserved. This was because he already had absolute confidence that he could live until the number of descendants was enough to form a tribe.
Otherwise, if he still maintained his original style, with his identity as a Legendary Master, he might only need two or three years to form a tribe — as a Legendary Master, as long as he was not "picky," two or three hundred women was really not a big problem …
Sure enough, now he had already achieved his original goal.
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong subconsciously used the Bond of Faith to check on Josh's situation.
He saw that in the eastern part of the northern ice field, adjacent to a canyon covered with ice and snow, there was a newly built tribe.
This tribe was slightly different from the ordinary northern barbarian tribes. Its location was a little more north, and there were no farms nearby. Instead, there was a huge transmission array in the square in the center of the tribe.
Sui Xiong recognized the origin of this transmission array at a glance — the combination of several sets of magic runes was the style of the chief mage of the Church of the Void Mask, Master Satan. Even if this transmission array was not made by him, it must be made by his disciples. The most likely one was probably the most outstanding among his disciples, Nice Parne.
With the transmission array, this newly built "Ice Bear" tribe could sell their hunting or mining gains at a suitable price, and then buy enough food. Perhaps in the future, they could also act as a second-hand dealer, buying the products of other barbarians, and then selling food and daily necessities to them.
In general, the foundation of this tribe was still quite stable.
"Josh, this guy, finally realized his dream!" Looking at Josh, who was leading his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren to the tribe's central square for their daily worship, praying to the huge ice sculpture of a jellyfish, Sui Xiong smiled and nodded slightly.
