In the tribe, several old crypt men wearing worn but still recognizable drow clothes were kneeling in front of a tall statue of a crypt man and praying in a low voice.
These old crypt men were the oldest in the tribe and the first to see the God of the Crypt Men with their own eyes.
After years of protection, even if Lin Xiao didn't do anything, these crypt men already regarded him as their protector.
In the sixth year of his protection, under the call of the elders of the tribe, the crypt men gathered their people and spent several years carving a statue of Lin Xiao in the center of the tribe.
At this point, the faith of Lin Xiao officially took root in the tribe and slowly grew.
At this time, the tribe of crypt men had become a large tribe with a total crypt population of more than 10,000. This was a grand occasion that the crypt men had never thought of before.
When they were weak, it brought them hope. This faith was the most devout. Now, more than 10,000 crypt men in the tribe were all true believers and above. Most of them were devout believers and fanatics. The quality of their faith was almost on par with Lin Xiao's clan in the divine realm.
Unfortunately, the crypt men were too weak and provided too little faith power. Even devout believers and fanatics couldn't provide him much faith power. The entire tribe of 10,000 crypt men could only provide him with more than 300 points of faith power every day.
And one point of divine power required one million points of faith power. The entire tribe had to continue for thousands of years to provide him with one point of divine power. This speed …
"So it's time to expand the faith!"
Lin Xiao walked out of the cave, followed by the Tauren Jonila, with a hint of fanaticism in his expression.
After a few years, the Tauren had already known his identity. After spending a long time with a true god, under the influence of divine power, the Tauren was now a fanatic believer.
Lin Xiao certainly wouldn't be stingy with his most powerful subordinates. Although he didn't give him divinity and didn't dare to give him the bloodline of Shura Naga, he often gave him divine power. At the same time, his real body found the ancient red dragon Field and took a drop of ancient red dragon blood from him. He activated the ancient red dragon's bloodline for Jonila and promoted him to a Tauren ancient red dragon's dragon bloodline warlock.
Now that Jonilla's strength had entered the Legendary-level, he was a Level-20 Warrior and a Level-22 Dragon Disciple. He was very powerful.
In fact, if he didn't need to establish prestige in the eyes of the Crypt Men, he could have sent the Tauren to drive the patrol away.
Year after year, the surrounding Subterrane Dwellers gradually came to know that this Subterrane Dweller Tribe had the protection of a powerful Subterrane Dweller Tribe. Many of them moved from afar, and the Subterrane Dweller Tribe grew bigger and bigger.
By the tenth year, the Subterrane Dweller tribe that Lin Xiao had protected for ten years had expanded into a large tribe with over 200,000 Subterrane Dwellers. At this time, Lin Xiao began to consciously spread his faith.
Although all the Subterrane Dwellers believed in him before, it was a spontaneous and aimless belief. In the eyes of the Subterrane Dwellers, he was the God of the Subterrane Dwellers. If he became a god in the future, he would only be able to obtain the Subterrane Dwellers' Divine Title.
Although he was the God of the Subterrane Dwellers, the Subterrane Dwellers were too weak. No matter how strong they were in the future, they wouldn't be that strong. Therefore, he had to guide the Subterrane Dwellers to prepare for some powerful Divine Titles in the future.
One year, after driving away an even larger Drow raiding team, Lin Xiao didn't leave as before. Instead, he stayed.
When a tall Subterrane Dweller with golden light slowly walked down from the sky, all the Subterrane Dwellers knelt down and shouted the name of the God of the Subterrane Dwellers.
Lin Xiao's eyes swept across the entire tribe. He stretched out his hand, and a golden light flew out and fell on his statue in the center of the tribe. Suddenly, a faint layer of light appeared on the statue, and a faint divine power spread out. The mosquitoes in the entire tribe fled from the corners of the tribe as if they had encountered something terrible. They formed a large swarm of insects and left the tribe.
"I am the God of Subterrane Dwellers and Protection!"
At the same time, he waved his hand, and more than a thousand golden lights flew out and sank into the bodies of a hundred Subterrane Dwellers.
This was the new Subterrane Dweller bloodline that he had modified. It could transform these Subterrane Dwellers and make their bodies stronger. The results of the previous experiments showed that the new Subterrane Dwellers would be about 1.23 meters tall when they reached adulthood. Under the condition of maintaining the original reproduction speed, their physique would be stronger than before, but they would be slightly weaker than ordinary humans. The hardened skin on the surface of their bodies would have a high defense, and at the same time, they would have stronger night vision and an extended lifespan of about five years.
This was the first generation of Lin Xiao's current modulation. Next, he would slowly increase the number of new Subterrane Dwellers. When the new Subterrane Dwellers slowly multiplied and reached a certain number, he would start the third generation of new Subterrane Dwellers.
Food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and racial evolution couldn't be rushed. Anyway, he had enough time to slowly develop.
Twenty years later, the thousand new Subterrane Dwellers would continue to reproduce, and these new Subterrane Dwellers would continue to reproduce for the second and third generations. Soon, these powerful new Subterrane Dwellers would become the mainstream of the larger tribe.
Lin Xiao did not hide the fact that the birth of the new Subterrane Dwellers was due to him, so he could confirm that Divine Might was more stable.
After ten years of reproduction, Lin Xiao determined that the new Subterrane Dwellers' genes were stable and there were no other problems. He began to start the genetic modulation of the third generation of Subterrane Dwellers on the basis of the existing new Subterrane Dwellers.
This time, he would add the genes of more powerful species, trying to ensure that they had a strong reproductive ability while also having a stronger physique and a longer lifespan.
However, before the results of the modulation came out, a crisis began to approach the powerful Subterrane Dweller tribe.
With his blessing for more than twenty years, the Subterrane Dweller tribe had become a super-large Subterrane Dweller tribe with a total population of more than 400,000. The hardworking Subterrane Dwellers had opened up more farms near the tribe to plant various crops, which deeply attracted the Drows in the third layer of the Underdark.
It was just that the Drows were afraid of Lin Xiao's powerful strength, and one or two raiding teams were not strong enough, so they didn't dare to take risks.
But this time, unfortunately, there was a large-scale Beast Tide in the Underdark that affected several Drow cities, leading to a serious shortage of food. So several Drow cities joined forces and prepared to attack this huge Subterrane Dweller tribe to snatch food.
A total of four Drow cities joined forces and gathered an army of more than 6,000 Drows and more than 15,000 servant races. They gathered somewhere in the underground passage leading to the third layer of the Underdark, which quickly attracted Lin Xiao's attention.
After all, it was a coalition of four Drow cities, and there were several high-level Priests of the Dark Lord among them. It was difficult for Lin Xiao not to notice them.
But how to deal with this coalition next? Lin Xiao was in a dilemma.
Of course, he had the strength to directly destroy this coalition. After all, he was already a True God. No matter how many mortals there were, they were no match for him. But he couldn't kill so many Drows, otherwise, it would attract the Dark Lord like last time.
In the past, when he was alone, he could just leave after doing something, and the Dark Lord couldn't do anything to him. Now that this Subterrane Dweller tribe had developed well, giving up was equivalent to wasting twenty years.
Of course, he could afford to waste twenty years. At most, he could start again. But if he ran away this time, what would he do next time?
As long as the Subterrane Dwellers wanted to rise, they must face the threat of the Drows. This was inescapable.
"It really makes the Gods sad!"
The Divine Thinking allowed him to think of all the possibilities in an instant. In the end, he had only two choices. One was to stand by and let the Subterrane Dwellers face all this by themselves. They had to defeat the invading Drow joint raiding team with their own strength.
Yes, this was the only way to avoid the interference of the Dark Lord.
Gods belonged to gods, and mortals belonged to mortals.
If he wanted to take action, the Dark Lord also had a reason to take action. If he didn't take action, if the Subterrane Dwellers could block the Drow joint forces, even if the Drow joint forces were wiped out, the Dark Lord would only scold his followers for being useless, but he would not personally deal with the Subterrane Dwellers.
But now, the strength of the Subterrane Dwellers compared to the strength of the Drow joint forces …
Although there were more than 400,000 Subterrane Dwellers, and nearly half of them were second-generation Subterrane Dwellers, they were far worse than the Drows who had experienced killing all year round and had various professions and extraordinary powers.
Lin Xiao regretted that he didn't prepare earlier, but it was too late to regret now. He could only implement the second way, which was to run away.
Leaving some of the old and weak Subterrane Dwellers behind, the adult and young Subterrane Dwellers would evacuate here and start over in another place. This was the only reliable way.
Thinking of doing it, Lin Xiao immediately issued a Divine Prophecy and ordered his followers to prepare to move.
In order to ensure that his threat and the faith of his followers would not decline, he panicked that because the Subterrane Dwellers were gradually becoming stronger, they were threatening the Drows. Now hundreds of thousands of Drows were coming under the leadership of the evil Dark Lord …
The ignorant Subterrane Dwellers did not know the sinister nature of people's hearts. In addition, the second-generation Subterrane Dwellers were indeed much stronger than the first-generation Subterrane Dwellers. They did not hesitate to believe it and quickly mobilized to start moving.
The whole tribe was directly abandoned. More than 100,000 adult and young Subterrane Dwellers left the tribe with only enough dry food to eat for ten days and marched in the direction that Lin Xiao pointed out.
After the large army left, Lin Xiao erased the traces they left behind.
Five days later, Lin Xiao, who had been escorting the Subterrane Dwellers, suddenly stopped and turned around. The long line in front of him also stopped. At this moment, all the Subterrane Dwellers felt something.
The lines of faith were broken one by one, and each broken line of faith represented the death of a Subterrane Dweller.
In just one day, the whole tribe was slaughtered. More than two hundred and forty thousand Subterrane Dwellers were all killed by the Drow coalition. The whole tribe was burned, and the stored food was robbed.
The Drows did not know how to fish in a pond. They directly slaughtered the tribe in one breath. Even the Subterrane Dwellers hiding underground were all forced out or directly killed in the cave. Even Lin Xiao, who was used to seeing blood, felt a little uncomfortable with the cruelty.
The team continued to move forward in the darkness. All the Subterrane Dwellers seemed to know something, and the team was terribly silent.
The Subterrane Dwellers, who were not very intelligent, seemed to be enlightened at this moment.
