There was nothing special about the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's transformation from the outside, but it was very obvious to a god.
If he had to describe it, it was as if he had gone from a mortal to a Holy Child.
Still, the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior was special in the first place, which was why his transformation was more complicated.
If it had been any other god, they would have most likely been puzzled by this change.
But since Xi Wei had been observing the area with the help of the Players, he vaguely understood what was going on.
Ever since the Players first arrived at the Western Continent, Xi Wei had always felt that the land seemed to be repelling the gods. In a nutshell, it was as if the fog of war had been lifted, and it was very strenuous even with the Divine Eye.
At first, Xi Wei had thought that some god had cursed the land, or that something had happened during the War of Gods and Demons that caused such a phenomenon.
But from what happened just now, Xi Wei finally realized that his initial assumption was wrong.
While the energy that was poured into the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's body was crude and unsubstantial, Xi Wei was certain that it was divine energy, a power that only gods could wield.
Logically speaking, the nonhuman natives did not worship any gods. Aside from a few who worshipped Beifeng, the God of Beasts, most of them worshipped their ancestors and only worshipped their own ancestors.
As the nonhuman tribes grew in numbers, their worship would condense into a deity, just like the God of Games that Xi Wei worshipped before he transmigrated.
However, even though the Mutants worshipped their ancestors, the exact ancestor they worshipped varied greatly. As a result, there was no way for them to unify their beliefs. In addition, even the largest Mutant tribe only had five to six hundred members. As a result, there was no way for them to form a true God.
Some might say, "Xi Wei didn't even have five to six hundred believers when he transmigrated. Isn't that a standard deity?"
But that was not the case. After all, the God of Games did not manifest from the few believers Xi Wei had when he transmigrated, but from the faith of hundreds of thousands of loyal believers throughout Tierra's most prosperous era!
Be that as it may, the God of Games he manifested was very fragile and unstable, to the point that the God of Games didn't develop enough intelligence to help his believers even after Tierra's fall. Xi Wei's transmigration to this world was nothing more than taking advantage of his transmigration authority.
That was the problem. If there weren't enough people, could they rely on time to gather enough Godhood? The entire Inhuman tribe had been worshipping the same ancestor for almost a thousand years. Could this belief give birth to a god?
Unfortunately, I can't. If faith could be accumulated over time, then faith-based gods wouldn't have fallen due to a lack of believers.
Still, the accumulation of faith over the years had certainly affected them to a certain extent, forming something akin to a divine sprout in those long-established nonhuman tribes. It was an energy cluster that had no form and was simply the condensation of faith that shrouded the corresponding tribe — they were not gods and were naturally not bound by rules, able to exist in the Prime Material Plane and not drawn to the divine realm.
It was precisely because many inhuman tribes in the Western Continent had given birth to such god embryos that they interfered and cooperated with each other. In the end, they formed a kind of barrier that even the true gods could not detect, forcibly separating a part of the Western Continent from the prying eyes of other gods.
Be that as it may, even true faith-based gods would fall if all their believers were wiped out, not to mention these god embryos that didn't even have divinity.
That was why when their believers were about to be completely wiped out, they would instinctively retaliate against the enemy who caused it. On the other hand, they wouldn't care as long as their believers were not completely wiped out.
The nonhumans were not aware of the existence of the god embryos, but having lived on the Vierlin Plains for almost a thousand years, they had vaguely sensed it and concluded certain situations through experience, forming certain rules for the nonhuman tribes. For example, a war between two nonhuman tribes should only end when the victor is decided, and should not be completely wiped out.
That was why even a weak nonhuman tribe like the Long Ears could survive from ancient times until now.
And now that the Mountain Tigers were on the brink of extinction, their god embryos had naturally triggered their self-defense mechanism, turning themselves into pure divine energy and infusing it into the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's body, turning him into a being similar to the Holy Children of other religions!
Xi Wei, having finally understood what was going on, stroked what was probably his chin with his tentacles. Since the Vierlin Plains where the nonhumans lived was protected by the god embryos' barrier and the other true gods could hardly see what was happening here, wouldn't they not notice if he went a little overboard?
Be that as it may, he didn't act directly in the end.
In any case, there were still quite a number of players left, and they wouldn't all die in a short time. Moreover, after the other players received the urgent quest he issued, they all dropped what they were doing and began to head over. He estimated that reinforcements would arrive in about half an hour.
There was no need for him to act directly at the moment, and it was more beneficial for him to play it by ear.
"Die, you wretch!"
The Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior, having become a Holy Child and leveled up to Level 55 and the same level as the Revived Nightstalker roared in rage, throwing an uppercut at the Nightstalker who had yet to fully awaken!
The Nightstalker's giant blood wings parted to form a shield in defense, but it was punched right through by the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior's fist and struck the side of his face, sending the Revived Nightstalker flying out of the ancestral hall!
The Revived Nightstalker bounced several times over the ground like a pebble skipping over water, before finally crashing into a wooden hut and stopping.
His entire face was smashed in, and his chin was crooked. He looked very miserable.
Even so, the Players weren't so optimistic. Judging from his HP bar, he had only lost a thin layer of skin that was less than one-twentieth of his original HP.
The Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior quickly gave chase and was about to go after the Revived Nightstalker when a rain of blood began to fall from the skies.
The Players had assumed that the rain would be poisonous or corrosive and had prepared themselves for it, but nothing happened.
However, the blood that had accumulated on the ground began to squirm and form grotesquely shaped blood monsters that lunged at the Roaring Blaze Tiger Warrior and the Players!
