Bright red blood climbed up along the cracks on the stone pillar, emitting a scorching aura like magma. Not long after, the totem pole began to emit faint black smoke.
Upon seeing that there was finally a strange phenomenon, the hundreds of thousands of aborigines became even crazier. The ordinary tribesmen kneeled on the ground and shouted at the tribal Raider at the top of their lungs, "Great Zhang Lisheng! You're the guardian who maintains the inheritance of the believers! You're our living faith …"
The chief warriors, on the other hand, became even more courageous as they scrambled to chop off their heads under the stone pillar.
In the continuous sacrifice of souls and lives, the cracks on the tribal totem pole gradually spread. The spiritual monsters and giant beast reliefs on the stone pillar that belonged to Tudenan and the several dozens of Hellfire tribes conquered by Tudenan shattered one by one and turned into nothingness.
At the same time when the sculptures shattered, Zhang Lisheng, who was pondering about the similarities and differences between the Witchcraft's Gate of Death and Gate of Sacrifice's secret method from the source, suddenly felt a burning sensation between his brows. The Gate of Sacrifice's method of becoming a wizard that he had inadvertently meditated on had suddenly succeeded.
Then, his vision turned blurry as he inexplicably felt that his body seemed to be suspended high in the air. Then, a long-lost fear rose from his heart, causing goosebumps to rise on the young man's back.
"W-What's going on?" Zhang Lisheng calmed down and muttered in bafflement. Looking down at his feet, he saw that half of his thighs were covered in dense golden long hair.
"T-This is …" Looking around, he suddenly realized that the place he was standing on was actually the top of a three-headed, six-armed, horrifying giant ape with golden hair all over its body.
"It's the Oasis World's monkey king, but it's even bigger. What's going on … "Zhang Lisheng was in a trance. When he recalled the brutal means of the foreign world's monkey that could destroy the world with just pure violence, he snapped back to reality and no longer thought about it. He wanted to use the nine-tailed lizard's power to nihilate his body, only to realize that he no longer had the transformation power.
His heart clenched, the young man's face turned even paler. After being stunned for a while, he tried to command the wizard gu to crawl out of his skin to protect himself, but after trying for a while, he could not even sense a single wizard gu at all.
"I can't use my transformation power and wizard gu anymore …" Zhang Lisheng, who had fallen into a desperate situation inexplicably, suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he thought of the biggest possibility.
Just as an idea flashed through his mind, he heard the giant ape under his feet suddenly let out a deafening roar from all three of its heads, while its six arms pounded on its broad chest.
Just this roar alone was enough to make Zhang Lisheng bleed from all seven of his orifices. Paralyzed, he fell from the ape's head and was smashed into a pulp by the two giant palms in mid-air before being thrown onto the ground.
After his vision turned black, he could clearly feel that his body had become fragmented under the impact of a huge force. His body was only held together by the viscous blood. Zhang Lisheng could not help but feel terrified.
Amidst the heart-wrenching pain, his limbs and bones gradually reconstructed and returned to his human form. However, the young man suddenly felt that the top of his head turned black, and with a loud bang, he was smashed into a pile of minced meat again.
The pain doubled, causing Zhang Lisheng to almost lose his mind. Fortunately, after a long period of witchcraft cultivation, his willpower, which had been tempered many times, was much stronger than ordinary people. For this reason, he could still hold on to his last bit of rationality and prevent himself from collapsing.
As long as he had rationality, he would be able to deduce and analyze, so he could remain calm and make the right choice in the face of adversity. When he reconstructed his body again, Zhang Lisheng began to comfort and encourage himself. "I must have relied on the Hellfire tribesmen's power of faith to become a Rank-1 Wizard of the Gate of Sacrifice. Right now, I'm fusing with a beast's soul, but why did I fuse with the Oasis World's monkey king instead?
I can't think about these things anymore! I must hold on to my rationality! I must hold on to my rationality! Even if I can't cast the Gate of Death's witchcraft right now, my own strength should still be very strong under the nourishment of the wizard gu.
I'll dodge the next attack first and observe the situation clearly before slowly coming up with a solution … "
The instant he recovered, he padded his feet and twisted his waist to leap to the side using the Shape-Will Fist's footwork. Just like that, he narrowly dodged the slap that fell from the sky. Unfortunately, under the huge impact, Zhang Lisheng staggered and was blown more than ten meters away by the strong wind. The moment he leaped up from the ground with a somersault, the giant ape immediately stepped on him, causing all the bones and flesh in his body to be trampled together.
The third time he turned into minced meat, the superimposed pain completely drowned Zhang Lisheng's consciousness in an instant. Unconsciously, he heard countless prayers and soft voices of praise resonating in his mind instead. "Great Raider! You're our living faith! You're the legend that walks in the tribe …"
"… I offer you my most devout prayer, I'm willing to praise your brilliance forever …"
"… You're the faith that God has bestowed upon the tribe. The island should be named after you …" Each of these prayers could bring an insignificant amount of power to the young man. However, when all of the power was gathered together, it gave birth to a human-headed snake monster with an expressionless face, black pupils, decaying skin, and a head full of dry black hair from Zhang Lisheng's minced meat body.
At the moment when the monster was born, all of the cracks on the Tudenan tribe's scarred totem pole that were flowing with the blood of the warriors collapsed and connected to form a crooked body that coiled around the stone pillar that was as tall as the clouds.
The snake shadow was carved by a child. It also had a human head, but its face was unrecognizable. When it was carelessly engraved on the totem pole, the Tudenan tribal book of history enshrined on the altar suddenly burst out with a star-like brilliance, turning the treehouse into ashes before rising into the sky.
Under the illumination of the book of history, the totem pole suddenly ignited with a blazing fire from top to bottom, burning the snake shadow that was entrenched on it. However, no matter how hot the flame was, the snake shadow did not dissipate at all. Instead, it gradually integrated into the stone pillar tightly in the fire.
The burning did not get rid of the snake shadow. All of a sudden, a violent roar resonated from the Tudenan tribal book of history. At the same time, the bark book also radiated an even more dazzling brilliance.
Unfortunately, to the Tudenan tribal book of history that had become a rootless tree and water without a source, it was very difficult for it to erupt. After that, it came to an end and soon, the brilliance on the bark book slowly dissipated. The roar also gradually faded away.
After a while, the brilliance of the tribal book of history dissipated and the flame on the totem pole also slowly extinguished. At this time, pairs of invisible giant hands suddenly appeared in the air and began to flatten and thicken the totem pole, carving many lifelike patterns on its surface.
There was no longer any information related to Tudenan or the other Hellfire tribes in these reliefs. All of the carvings on them were the image of a Demon with two heads and five faces shrouded in black fog.
One of the Demon's heads had long hair and an unclear face while the other head had four different faces. Some had wide mouths and bulging eyes like a toad, while some had mouse ears and a bull's nose like a wyrmdragon. They were the various images that Zhang Lisheng had after his transformation.
"It's a success! It's a success! The legendary 'rebirth' ritual has actually succeeded …" Kneeling on the ground and secretly peeking, Tugra could clearly see that only the Demon's image that the young man had transformed was left on the tribal totem pole. At once, he clenched his fists in ecstasy.
Right at this moment, in the dark world where their consciousness blended, the human-headed snake monster that had transformed from Zhang Lisheng's corpse had already entangled the giant ape firmly. Opening its bloody mouth, it swallowed the ape into its stomach in one gulp.
When the ape entered his stomach, the young man only felt a wave of dizziness before opening his eyes in a daze.
"No wonder it's said that it's much more difficult to fuse a beast soul in the Witchcraft's Gate of Sacrifice than to refine a wizard gu in the Gate of Death. This difficulty is just too unexpected … Impossible!
This level of difficulty is absolutely impossible! Don't tell me that Su Deli has done something … "The moment Zhang Lisheng regained his consciousness, the first sentence that came out of his mouth was immediately uttered through gritted teeth. However, he had forgotten that fusing a beast soul was completely different from transforming a wizard gu. The wizard could freely change it.
Even in ancient times, a Rank-1 Wizard would only fuse a beast soul such as a green wolf or a leopard. They could just change it again after they had made great achievements. There was no one like him who had fused a three-headed, six-armed giant ape that only appeared in myths for his first beast soul.
When the young man was muttering to himself, Tugra, who was kneeling at his feet, did not dare to say anything. After Zhang Lisheng had stopped talking, he looked around with a frown. This foreign world's aborigine, who had just transformed from the Tudenan tribe's headman to the Zhang Lisheng tribe's headman, respectfully said with a slightly trembling voice, "It's a success, Great Conqueror! The 'rebirth' ritual has succeeded!
Tudenan has disappeared, and the new Zhang Lisheng tribe has replaced it. Not only that, you've also obtained the honorable title of Conqueror! "
"Zhang Lisheng tribe …" Zhang Lisheng repeated the name once again, feeling very awkward.
"Yes, Great Conqueror! With a tribe and an island named after you, you'll have the opportunity to become the island's god …"
"Wait a minute, Tugra!" Looking at the tribal headman's excited look, Zhang Lisheng interjected in confusion. "Since the entire tribe is named after me now, and I've already conquered an island, why can't I become the island's god directly?"
"Great Conqueror, the legendary spirit and the island's god are different from the previous five honorable titles! They're different …"
"How are they different?"
"I've never left the island before. I only know from the legend that obtaining the honorable title of the island's god means that I've become a real god. As for what the exact situation is, I have no idea at all."
"Become a real god?" Zhang Lisheng did not believe in such nonsense at all. With a curl of his lips, he looked at the hundreds of corpses lying on the ground under the totem pole that had become completely different from before and sighed. Then, he picked up the canvas bag that he carried with him from the ground.
When he opened the bag, the slow-beating meatball and the silk cloth with a simple Eight Trigrams pattern were all there. However, the stone that the monkey king had turned into after its death had disappeared.
After pondering for a while, the young man reached his hand into the bag and rubbed his fingers. Immediately, he felt that it was slippery.
Looking at the stone powder between his fingers, he muttered, "There's indeed a monkey's soul in the stone. It's finally gone now …" Then, he shifted his gaze to the endless aborigines not far away.
