Chapter 38 The Goddess Appears
As the light gradually faded, the once bright stone chamber instantly became extremely dark, as if all the light had been swallowed up.
The spot where the mysterious and powerful Beast God Stone once stood is now completely empty, as if it had never existed.
Ruan Mianmian knew perfectly well that the Beast God Stone had been quietly taken back by the system.
Just now, she clearly heard the system's last words: "Host, I'm going to absorb super energy. I have a strong premonition that this might be where my source code is. Once I've successfully absorbed it, I will present you with a brand new system."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system disappeared as if it had gone offline.
The old orc and Sen witnessed the sudden disappearance of the Beast God Stone, but their faces showed no surprise, as if they had always known that Ruan Mianmian was destined to take the Beast God Stone.
However, just as Ruan Mianmian was slowly recovering from the extreme shock, an astonishing scene that was completely unexpected happened without warning.
The elderly orc and Sen made the same move almost simultaneously. Without hesitation, they knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Ruan Mianmian in an extremely devout, almost worshipful manner.
"Sen! And the old orc! What's going on with you guys?"
Faced with this sudden situation, Ruan Mianmian was instantly taken aback and at a loss for what to do.
She frantically tried to help the elderly orc up, but to her utter surprise, the orc's strength far exceeded her imagination and ability. No matter how hard she tried to push him, she couldn't move him even an inch.
"Goddess, please accept our most sincere worship and beg you to accept us as your most loyal followers. From this day forward, we will follow you closely, never leaving you, until the last moment of our lives!" The old orc slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with pleading and fervent desire.
Ruan Mianmian was stunned; she had no idea what was going on.
Seeing this, the old orc quickly explained, "The appearance of the Beast God Stone signifies the arrival of a goddess. Your ability to remove the Beast God Stone means you must be a goddess sent by the Beast God. Moreover, there's an old saying on the orc continent: 'When a goddess descends, the tribes unite!'"
Ruan Mianmian then realized that they had mistaken her for a goddess.
She glanced at the old orc, then at Sen, inwardly groaning.
She was just an ordinary girl; how could she possibly be a goddess who would unify the continent?
But given the current situation, she could only agree for now and then figure out a solution later.
“Okay, I agree to your following. Get up quickly,” Ruan Mianmian said.
As Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, the elderly orc suddenly stood up, and at the same time, Sen's massive body also began to slowly straighten up.
At this moment, it seemed as if an invisible force was driving them.
Whether it was due to the influence of her firm inner beliefs, at this moment, as Ruan Mianmian gazed at the two beastmen in front of her, she sensed that some indescribable change had occurred in them.
However, despite how real the feeling was, she couldn't quite describe exactly what kind of strange sensation it was.
“Goddess, my name is Zhi. I was once the high priest of a tribe. Due to various reasons, I wandered far from home, but now I am willing to follow you. I humbly request that you grant the tribe a new name, and I will do my utmost to divine for the tribe and pray for its well-being.”
Zhi's voice was deep and solemn, revealing his deep respect and expectations for Ruan Mianmian.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian's gaze involuntarily turned to Sen beside her.
The enormous serpentine body of Sen, which had been standing upright, gradually bent down. He flicked his scarlet forked tongue and said slowly, "From this day forward, you are the ruler of this valley. Whether it is me, Yu, or the many young beastmen, we will all follow you wholeheartedly and become your most loyal believers. Great Beast God above, please grant our tribe a name!" His words were filled with piety and earnestness.
