I thrived in the primitive tribe

After dinner, the last rays of the setting sun had been swallowed by the night. After a busy day, Lu Yao and her companion felt a little tired. They walked slowly along the dark mountain path, holding torches in their hands, like two faint guiding lights in the night, trying their best to illuminate the way forward for the tribe.

Looking up at the sky, I saw countless stars, like diamonds scattered on black silk, twinkling incessantly, as if telling ancient and distant stories.

As night fell, the surrounding environment seemed to gradually quiet down, the daytime hustle and bustle replaced by the tranquility of the night. The birdsong gradually subsided, and the low murmurs of insects faded, adding a touch of mystery and depth to the night.

Lu Yao finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Great Shaman, do beast gods truly exist in this world?"

The high shaman turned her head, a look of surprise on her face, her gaze fixed on Lu Yao's face, clearly taken aback by the question she had asked. She frowned slightly, as if weighing whether to reveal the deep-seated secret to Lu Yao.

The shaman's mind raced, knowing full well that this matter was extraordinary, as it not only concerned everyone's beliefs but also involved some ancient legends.

Just as the Great Shaman hesitated, Lu Yaodi's voice rang out again.

"At first, I thought that the Beast God was just a figment of everyone's imagination, not a real existence, but just a belief in everyone's hearts. After all, if the Beast God really existed, why didn't he just lead everyone to a more prosperous path and make people's lives less difficult?"

Lu Yao paused for a moment, as if considering how to continue.

"Later, seeing everyone's respect for life and their reverence for nature, I began to waver in my thinking. It made me realize that perhaps this is why the Beast God cannot directly intervene. As members of this continent, we are no more noble than other creatures. The way to survive is for everyone to live together peacefully and equally, rather than standing on a high place looking down on all living beings and imposing our will on them."

He gave the orcs resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity, courage and strength in the face of suffering, and the wisdom to survive, spiritually guiding them towards a better tomorrow.

She continued, her voice trembling slightly.

“I started to believe that the Beast God exists and guides our lives in the unseen world. But the destruction of the tribe before started to shake my faith again. I don’t know what it feels like for the Beast God to watch all his children die in front of him. If He really exists, why doesn’t He give them even the slightest bit of help?”

Perhaps it was the darkness of the night, like a thick blanket, that concealed Lu Yao's usual vigilance and defensiveness, making her heart soften and open at this moment; or perhaps it was the unconditional trust and support of the Great Witch over the past few days that gave her the courage to confide her doubts to the wise man who had always stood by her side.

Lu Yao stood quietly on the road, gazing at the pitch-black distance ahead, wondering if she could find her way home and return to her original world.

The high shaman looked at the young child before her, her expression complex. She marveled at Lu Yao's keen insight and wisdom. She sighed deeply.

"Lu Yao, as my successor, I was originally going to tell you these things when you had truly mastered all my skills and succeeded me as the Great Shaman. But since you've asked me about it now, it's fine to tell you in advance."

In truth, even I harbor deep doubts about whether the Beast God truly exists in this time. This is not disrespect for faith, but rather stems from my endless exploration and contemplation of this world.

In ancient legends, orcs were created by a beast god. They possess incredibly strong physiques and unimaginable intelligence. Those of Tyrannosaurus Rex bloodline are the strongest of the strong; powerful and arrogant, they are confident in their power and wage war everywhere.

However, as time passed, all that former glory vanished, submerged in the river of time, leaving no record. Just as you said, I too have wondered why, as such a powerful being, we now struggle to even survive.

This makes me wonder if the Beast God truly exists, or if He has abandoned us. Otherwise, why are more and more of us beastmen unable to successfully enter the differentiation phase and become beastmen? And why do those who successfully become beastmen experience side effects every time they use their beast form, leaving them weak for a long time afterward? These are all heavy burdens weighing on my heart, making it difficult for me to let go.

But your arrival has made me believe in the existence of the Beast God. You may not remember that when you first arrived, you were wearing clothes that didn't belong to this world. Loya brought you to me while you were unconscious. After examining you, I changed your clothes so that people wouldn't treat you like an outsider. After you woke up, you kept bringing new things to the tribe, leading them to store food, build pottery kilns, and so on. All of this made me even more convinced that you were sent by the Beast God to save us.

As the number of differentiated orcs gradually decreases, our survival is greatly threatened. Now we need to cooperate with many people to hunt, otherwise we will not be able to catch enough prey, and our people will starve. As orcs who cannot differentiate, although our lifespan has been extended, our strength has been weakened accordingly. All of these factors constantly threaten our survival and make us feel unprecedented pressure.

Since you came, our tribe has been developing better and better. You are like a ray of light shining into our lives, bringing us new hope.

I don't know exactly where you come from, nor do I know if you will suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear again, but I only hope that in the days to come, you can lead your people to develop better, so that we can survive in this cruel world.

As for whether the Beast God truly exists, that's for you to discover. I've tried to find answers in ancient legends, but each time I only uncovered more mysteries. I believe that if you search diligently and persevere, you will eventually find the answer you seek. And I, and indeed our entire tribe, will always be by your side, supporting you.”

Hearing the shaman's words, Lu Yao was stunned into silence. It turned out that she had been exposed from the very beginning.

"Great Shaman, aren't you afraid I might be a bad person? What if I do something bad for the tribe?"

"I've actually thought about that too, but after observing you for several days, I've concluded that you're not the kind of person who would disregard others for your own sake. And I also trust my intuition; the Great Shaman's intuition is very accurate..."

After talking with the shaman, Lu Yao felt much more relaxed. Indeed, people need to communicate with each other.

As for the matter of the Beast God, it cannot be resolved in a short time. Perhaps we will find out when we lead everyone towards a prosperous life.
