"Grandson, come to grandma for a hug."

This was the first time Wu Wang saw his grandmother since he started to recover memories of his past life and observe the Great Wasteland.

Wu Wang only remembered his grandmother's trembling hands when she held him, which almost made him faint.

His grandmother loved him very much and had a childlike sense of humor. She would play with him like a child, fight for toys with him, deliberately make him cry, and tell him stories of his grandfather's heroic deeds.

The most memorable time was when he was seven years old and studying the structure of waterwheels by the lake. His grandmother's cart appeared behind him. She jumped down from the half-zhang-high cart, which she could barely walk on, and kicked him into the lake, then ran away with her cane like the wind.

When he stole his grandmother's dentures at the age of five and smeared them with Five Spice Powder from the West Wilderness, his grandmother chased him around the palace with her cane, which made his father shed tears of excitement and think that his grandmother had regained new vitality and could live for several more decades.

Thinking back on these memories now, Wu Wang's eyes were a little red, and many old people in the tent wiped away tears.

"Young master, everyone is here."

General Xiong San shouted outside the tent, not too loudly, as the parents and uncles of the three generals were inside and they could easily get angry.

"Suqing," Wu Wang looked at Lin Suqing beside him, "my grandmother likes lively scenes, and there is no custom of guarding the dead in the North Wilderness. Can you help me with some customs of the Human Realm?"

Lin Suqing asked seriously, "Do you want the full set?"

"Do your best, just accompany her more for me."

After speaking, Wu Wang looked at his grandmother's body again, lowered his head and left the tent, heading towards the fire-filled night.

As soon as he took two steps, he heard Lin Suqing commanding inside the tent, naming long tables, candlesticks, offerings, yellow paper, and paper-burning pots...

Turning his head, he saw Lin Suqing taking out a peach wood sword from the storage magic treasure and putting it in the corner, then taking out a cushion and laying it on the ground. With a solemn expression, she recited:

"The sky is high and endless, and the earth is vast with talented people!

Heroes are true heroes, and the North Wilderness has heroes!

The loved ones have taken the Yellow Crane, but their voices remain, and the tower is not empty!"

What?

The Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect has such an elegant name and such a broad business?

The tent suddenly filled with intermittent weeping, and Wu Wang's mood became somewhat gloomy.

In front of him, men and women in sacrificial robes stood with their heads bowed. Their faces were gray, and most of the sacrificial priests in the front rows had white hair.

Wu Wang had thought of many things to say.

He wanted to start with "The clan is where everyone is born," and also thought about starting with "Which is more important, the reverence for the Star God or the lives of the clan members?"

He actually wanted to ask these sacrificial priests.

If the beasts from heaven were a gift from the Star God, why weren't there ordinary beasts falling from the sky during the years of famine when people were starving to death and the land was like a purgatory?He was originally a young master who was determined to live a carefree life. Why did he spend several years designing, finding good words, and almost exhausting all his efforts to establish a system of food storage and enlighten the concept of animal husbandry for the clan?

Just because he saw the tragic scene of a famine when he was three years old.

But...

Looking at the people in front of him.

The figures standing in front of him, in the gap between the tents, and on this muddy grassland, Wu Wang suddenly fell silent.

All the words surged to the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

What reason do they not understand?

They are all older than him, more experienced than him, and have a better understanding of North Wilderness. Ultimately, at noon, they just lost some courage and did not have the idea of rebellion.

Wu Wang slightly lowered his head, the light from the torches shining on his profile, but there was always a little haze that could not be illuminated.

"Young Master."

The current Grand Priest took a half step forward, his eyes full of guilt. "It's us..."

"My grandmother has passed away."

The Grand Priest's body trembled, and the elderly female Priest sighed softly; Wu Wang's grandmother was her teacher and her close friend to this day.

Many priests had red eyes and deep guilt on their faces.

Wu Wang's voice was relatively calm as he whispered, "A total of 2,232 people died in the clan today, and more than 1,600 were seriously injured. Because this is the royal court, most of the dead and injured were elderly and children. If most people had not left the royal court during the attack of the ferocious beasts, the death toll would probably be incalculable."

The nearby tents were completely quiet, and the crackling sound of torch flames could occasionally be heard.

"I am the Grand Star Festival."

Wu Wang raised his head slightly, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

"When the ferocious beasts suddenly attacked, I realized how useless the Grand Star Festival was. I couldn't even get its attention."

"Young Master, please don't blame yourself. This is not a force we can fight against."

A kind-looking female priest trembled as she spoke, "This is the blessing of the Star God, a gift from the stars, the will of the Star God."

"Yes, this is the blessing of the Star God, a reward for her most diligent followers!"

Wu Wang suddenly raised his head, his expression solemn, and his eyes surprisingly clear.

"All along, the Star God's blessing has occurred every one or two hundred years. The selected clans were the most powerful at that time, and we have never asked why. Have any of you ever thought about why?"

The people in the big tent behind him were attracted by him and looked over.

The priests who were silent and bowed their heads before, at this moment, raised their heads in amazement and looked at their young master's face that was emitting a sacred light.

What the young master said at this moment was completely different from what they had expected...

"Because the Star God cannot understand us! Just as we cannot understand the Star God!

She guards the endless starry sky, protects the sky of North Wilderness, rotates droughts and storms, and watches over the entire North Wilderness!""To use our own arrogant thoughts to speculate about the Star God is disrespectful to the Star God!

Those who want the Star God to pay attention to them are truly ignorant!

The Star God does not see the life and death of one person, a few people, or thousands of people. What she sees is the safety and survival of countless lives in the entire North Wilderness!"

In the big tent, Lin Suqing widened her eyes upon hearing this.

What is the young master talking about?

"Gods are just creatures that have mastered the Dao early," isn't that what the young master said to her before?

How come...

The expressions of the priests went from shock to contemplation.

Wu Wang continued to shout:

"The blessing bestowed by the Star God is the weakest beast created by her divine power that can be sent down to the earth!

Using the weakest beast to test the strongest clan is the gentlest blessing the Star God can give to her people.

And us!

We can't even accept the weakest beast sent by the Star God, we cannot open its body or embrace the true gift of the Star God!

This is a disgrace!

It is the shame of the North Wilderness, and even more so, the shame of my Bear Hug Clan!"

He said, "If the Star God wants to destroy us, why use fierce beasts? The Star God only needs a thought."

He continued, "When the blessing comes, why complain that it has chosen us?

What we need to reflect on is how to accept the grace given by the Star God when the blessing comes!

Letting the blessing disappear on the edge of the earth is the greatest insult to the Star God!"

The head priest's voice trembled slightly, "We... have we been thinking wrong all along..."

Wu Wang sighed deeply, "Actually, these words were passed on to me by my grandmother through Suqing. At the moment of her life's sublimation, she heard the Star God's sigh with a hint of loneliness.

We have disappointed the Star God."

Lin Suqing's body tensed up, her little face full of seriousness. Although she didn't know what to do, she stood there nodding vigorously.

The confusion in the eyes of the priests became even more pronounced.

Wu Wang's voice returned to calmness:

"It turns out that you have never tried to understand the will of the Star God.

Look at the stars and think carefully, all of you stand here for two hours."

After speaking, Wu Wang turned and walked back to the big tent, kneeling beside his grandmother and Hua Tuan, praying quietly.

Soon, there were whispers outside the tent:

"We have been misunderstanding. The blessing of the Star God requires us to actively accept it?"

"The young master is not only the future leader, but also the youngest Grand Star Festival. He will definitely gain the recognition of the Star God..."

"The blessing of the Star God is her will, but her will is to give us trials and wealth, not disasters."

"Yes, if the Star God wants to bring disaster, she only needs to bring famine or drought."

The whispers gradually grew louder, and the priests debated and argued, one by one showing regret and becoming delirious.

"Head Priest, let's go accept the trial!"

"The Star God is protecting us. The fierce beasts are our enemies. How could the Star God let fierce beasts become her messengers!"

"Let's go kill that fierce beast!""Our Star-Praying Technique that we worked so hard to cultivate should be used now! What were we afraid of before? Why did we hesitate? Our people didn't die in vain!"

"But we were too far away to stop the fireball at that time..."

Inside the tent, Lin Suqing stared blankly at the scene before her; were these the same priests who had been kneeling and praying to the fierce beast?

Wu Wang felt slightly speechless in his heart and also a little guilty when he looked at his grandmother's expression.

He had just used his grandmother's name, but he had no choice.

The fear and worship that the priests had for the Star God were deeply ingrained, the result of countless prayers and self-hypnosis; if he used the name of the clan to call them to fight against the fierce beast, it would ultimately lead to a strong conflict of belonging between the clan and the faith.

Perhaps some priests would even commit suicide because of it.

What other options were there?

There was, to do the opposite.

By using his identity as the youngest Grand Star Festival participant to redefine the "blessings of the Star God" and integrate their sense of belonging to the clan and the Star God, the strongest fighting spirit could be produced!

Wu Wang had actually had this idea for a long time, but it was only today, after seeing the entire process of the Star God and the blessings of the Star God with his mother's memories, that he put this bold idea into practice.

[God's power of explanation].

The authority and power to explain gods and miracles.

The Star God worship in North Wilderness was relatively simple, only knowing to pray and supplicate to the Star God; the core of the divine power was the seven-day festival, but the Sun Festival was separated from the clan and lived on the snowy mountains.

If the Star God could not manifest and could not speak, then she was just a girl to be dressed up.

Of course, the prerequisite was that the Sun Festival also remained silent.

By the way, Wu Wang had previously studied some ancient records and found that after the Sun Festival ascended the throne, no matter which tribe the Sun Festival came from, it would transform into a humanoid form similar to the human race.

This should be related to the reference to the innate body of the Dao when Nuwa created the human race.

Back to the current problem.

To get rid of this fierce beast that fell from the sky, and to minimize casualties, there must be the assistance of the priests in the clan.

Powerful clans all had flying mounts, and if those strong ones decided to come and help, they could arrive one after another at noon.

At this moment, everything was ready.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].

The priests were already aroused, and if they weren't stopped by the Grand Priest, someone would have already been unable to resist and gone to fight the fierce beast.

"It's time to make a plan to slaughter the beast."

Wu Wang closed his eyes and used lines to sketch out the body of the fierce beast in his mind, trying to recall the changes in its body in various positions when it moved.

Only by finding its weaknesses could they achieve twice the result with half the effort.

About an hour later.

Woo...

The sound of horns, urgent and majestic!

The earth shook with a rumble, as if countless armies were galloping on the grassland!

Wu Wang suddenly stood up, his expression filled with uncontrollable excitement, and rushed out of the tent.

"The leader is back!"

"They're back!"The originally dull camp suddenly became lively. People rushed out of every tent, looking towards the north where the horn sounded.

As Wu Wang hurried forward, he became aware of his dependence on his father. His biological father was powerful and treated him well. His father's strength was different from the Star-Praying Technique and was similar to the Human Realm's body cultivation, but unfortunately, it couldn't increase his lifespan.

His plan had to be understood by his father in the shortest time possible, and then his father would command the reinforcements from the North Wilderness's strong Great Wave Clan.

Huh? Is that his dad's mount?

At the tent's entrance, Wu Wang looked up towards the direction where the fierce beast was trapped. He saw a snow-white giant bear with two wings rising into the sky, roaring and spitting out a huge ball of light.

A majestic figure jumped off the bear's back and smashed onto the spine of the beast.

Wu Wang used the Star-Praying Technique to concentrate and saw his father holding a long axe, his long hair fluttering in the wind. His beast skirt and battle armor rustled, and his muscular body seemed to be burning with flames, his face full of ferocity.

"How dare you hurt our clan members, I'll kill you! Ahh--"

Huh?

Why did he attack directly?!

There was a loud noise, and the huge fireball exploded on the back of the beast. The figure was instantly thrown away.

Just then!

Swoosh--

A strange-looking eagle suddenly appeared in the night sky, and a figure holding two hammers jumped off and rushed towards the beast.

"Bear Han, you're useless! You became soft after marrying Cang Xue, right? Hahaha! I've been eyeing your family's giant crossbow for a long time!"

"I'm the leader of the Great Wave Clan in the North Wilderness. I'll kill this beast for you! Get me some good wine! Hahaha!"

Then...

Another loud noise, and the second fireball shot into the sky. The burly man with flames on his blackened body drew an elegant arc and fell into the depths of the grassland.

"Save the leader!"

The high priest shouted, and the whole camp became noisy. The eagle also turned around and rushed towards the direction where their leader was thrown.

But before they could get there, two figures jumped up dozens of meters high, holding their hammers and axes high, facing the sudden burst of fire.

"North Wilderness human race!"

"No one can resist us!"

Wu Wang: ...

Ah, the "Plan."
