Chapter 360: Chapter 360
Jin Yao retreated in terror.
The Beast God wanted her life!! She had just spread the rumor that the Beast God was dead. She had just disrespected the Beast God, attempting to open the great doors of the Divine Temple.
Jin Yao had never been this frightened.
It’s over. It’s all over. She was done for! She really was done for! Newest update provıded by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
High Priest Bai Feng declared in a loud, reverent voice, "Lord Beast God."
The priests bowed in unison. "Lord Beast God."
The Beastmen knelt in unison. "Lord Beast God."
Only Jin Yao, struggling to rise, roared.
"Are you the Beast God? What kind of Beast God are you?!"
"Natural disasters are unceasing! Insect plagues, droughts, floods, earthquakes, famines... As a god, have you ever cared for your people?!"
The Beastman supervising Jin Yao immediately snapped, "How dare you!!"
With that, he forced Jin Yao to kneel.
The Beastmen whispered among themselves. Jin Yao’s words voiced their own questions.
The Beast God circled in the air twice and said slowly, "Audacious Jin Yao!"
The divine pressure bore down, crushing Jin Yao so much she couldn’t lift her head.
"I have never neglected my children. I have already appointed a Messenger of the Beast God."
The Beastmen murmured among themselves.
A Messenger of the Beast God! We have a Messenger of the Beast God?!
The Beast God, Long Ze, continued, "The Messenger of the Beast God, Si Yan, cleverly rescued the Tiger Beastmen during the insect plague. She led the Beastmen through calamities at Dark Sun Lake on the Day of Searing Flames. Furthermore, the Great Priest Competition of the Wan Cheng Gathering spread countless advanced pieces of knowledge!"
As the Beast God’s voice faded, all the Beastmen turned to look at Si Yan.
Si Yan turned her head blankly, a look of utter bewilderment on her face.
She was certain now. This Beast God was Old Gecko! Even in his divine form, he was still trying to frame her!
The Beastmen excitedly kowtowed to Si Yan.
"Great Messenger of the Beast God!!"
I knew it! Priest Si Yan is extraordinary. She is actually the Great Messenger of the Beast God!!!
The Messenger of the Beast God will lead the Beast World to a life of happiness.
The Beast God has not abandoned us! Not only do we have the Beast God, but we also have the High Priest, and the Messenger of the Beast God!!
Si Yan was somewhat speechless. Though she was being made a scapegoat, she was fortunately composed enough. She faced this scene standing straight, gracefully accepting the Beastmen’s admiration.
At that moment, all eyes were on Si Yan, as if she stood at the center of the Beast World.
Jin Yao watched Si Yan, her eyes red with envy.
Why her? On what grounds?! Where had things gone wrong? Where exactly had they gone wrong?
The golden light gradually faded. The Beast God vanished, leaving no trace.
Then, the Beastmen below erupted in fervent cheers.
"The Beast God has not abandoned us!!"
"The Messenger of the Beast God! We still have the Messenger of the Beast God!"
High Priest Bai Feng finished his Priestly Dance and descended from the altar.
The last priest to perform was Si Yan.
Although Bai Feng had already brought the Great Priest Competition to a climax, the sight of the Beast God’s personally appointed Messenger taking the stage still made the Beastmen equally excited and thrilled.
"Messenger of the Beast God! Messenger of the Beast God! Messenger of the Beast God!!"
Si Yan donned a colorful priestly robe. This was a robe Wang had painstakingly crafted over the past few days, working late into the night. He had sewn it stitch by stitch, using spiritually imbued materials he had collected and even strands of his own hair.
As she ascended the altar, she crossed paths with Bai Feng.
They nodded to each other in acknowledgment.
Bai Feng said softly, "Good luck."
Si Yan smiled and replied, "Okay."
She stepped onto the high altar.
Jin Yao roared, "Si Yan, I hate you! I hate you! Why must you exist? Why are you still alive?!"
Wang and Tai Seng followed Si Yan onto the altar, the two males standing imposingly, one to her left and one to her right.
Si Yan began to dance gracefully.
As the beautiful female began the Priestly Dance, the eyes of all the Beastmen were fixed on her, unable to look away.
Beautiful, so incredibly beautiful. It wasn’t a seductive beauty, but one that evoked peace and prosperity for the nation.
Her skin was whiter than snow, almost translucent. Her hair was as black as ink. Her brows were exquisitely shaped, and her long, fluttering eyelashes stirred the hearts of all who watched.
Bai Feng, witnessing this scene, suddenly remembered the deepest secret buried in his heart.
He could see the past and the future; he could even foresee his own destiny. Such was Si Yan, whom he, with his own eyes, had watched countless times over long years in the past. Before he even met Si Yan for the first time, he had already fallen hopelessly in love with her. This love was something the fortunate snake Beastman, whom Si Yan loved, could not compare to. The Beast God often said his ability was gentle. Yet he himself did not know whether his white eyes with square pupils were a blessing or a curse. All he knew was that she had lived in his heart for too many years. He couldn’t let her go.
He touched his own knuckles.
His icy, proud eyes met the cold, malevolent eyes of the Emperor Snake Beastman. Behind the Emperor Snake Beastman, it was as if countless snake Beastman subjects had appeared. Behind Bai Feng, it seemed there were the hopes and beliefs of countless Beastmen.
The competition between males had not ended. Between them, there was still a battle to be fought!
As Si Yan danced, a seven-colored radiance filled the sky. Thousands of colorful birds hovered above. A rainbow bridge of seven hues stretched from one end of Divine Mountain to the other. The auspicious seven-colored light shone down.
In the sky, the clouds churned once more, and the Beast God’s huge head emerged yet again.
Jin Yao stood up, her body swaying.
Si Yan had done it! She had summoned the Beast God! She really had called the Beast God forth! Why? On what basis? On what basis was Si Yan the center of everyone’s attention? On what basis was Si Yan the one favored by the High Priest and the Beast God?! Why was it her? Wasn’t her luck exhausted? Hadn’t she lost her totem? How could she still stand here, so dazzling, so radiant?!
The Beast God’s expression seemed different from before. When he looked at Si Yan, was there... more affection and a hint of fawning?
So, you recognize Grandpa today, huh? Grandpa is the Beast God! Surprising, isn’t it? Makes you want to worship me, right?! the Beast God thought, though he called out proudly, "Grandchild!"
Si Yan, with a cold face, crossed her arms. "You’ve deceived me for so long. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?!"
Seeing her expression, Long Ze sensed trouble. She didn’t seem surprised or admiring; instead, she seemed particularly angry.
The Beast God, Long Ze, suddenly lost all desire to show off. He immediately shrank his body and nuzzled up to Si Yan.
"Grandchild, listen to my explanation!"
Startled, Si Yan slammed his head to the ground, preventing the massive dragon from getting any closer!
The priests panicked. They quickly formed a human wall with their bodies to prevent the Beastmen from witnessing the scene.
Lord Beast God! So many people are watching! Are you really going to let a female pin you to the ground?! Have you no sense of dignity?!
"Old Gecko, are you really the Beast God?" Si Yan asked again, lowering her head.
The Gold Dragon Beast God slowly took human form. A tall, handsome, and noble male with golden eyes, golden brows, and golden hair that reached the ground now stood before her. The Beast God, transformed into this human shape, was simply too handsome.
"Grandchild, don’t be angry," he coaxed, his voice gentle and pleasant.
