Chen Shouyi couldn't quite comprehend the Barbarian's thought process.

From scattered Barbarian believers to the entire tribe, how could development happen so quickly within just under a month?

It's almost like a plague.

Moreover, I've never even responded!

Could it be because I've become a divine creature?

Chen Shouyi pondered thoughtfully.

What piqued his curiosity even more was this mysterious way of information dissemination, completely ignoring spatial distance.

He eagerly wanted to enter the Book of Knowledge Space to see if there were any new changes inside?

However, he patiently waited for the hind leg to finish roasting before sprinkling it with the brought salt and pepper.

The meat from the otherworld was full of chewiness and carried an alluring fragrance. Although his roasting was mediocre, he still ate the entire hind leg without leaving a trace.

After breakfast, he laboriously pushed over a large boulder from nearby to block the cave's entrance, plunging the cave into darkness.

This wasn't Earth, where even if he lay comatose in a forest, no wild beast could gnaw at his body. But here, there were predators everywhere that could pose a threat to him.

If he got attacked by wild beasts while entering the Book of Knowledge Space, he'd truly die with regrets.

The Shell Lady had no objections to staying in the darkness. As a creature accustomed to hiding and seeking shelter, this was the kind of safe, secure nest where she could rest with peace of mind.

Of course, if the gaps were a bit smaller, that would be even better.

...

After finishing these tasks, Chen Shouyi found a clean spot to sit down, then closed his eyes and entered the Book of Knowledge Space.

He was surprised to find the space had expanded again and felt much brighter. Compared to the last time he entered a few days ago, it had expanded by two to three meters, reaching a radius of thirty meters, with a small World Tree at its center emitting a dim light.

An unusual gleam flashed in his eyes.

This change was quite significant!

At this moment, he felt an urge and looked up towards the sky.

He couldn't restrain his shock any longer.

The sky, once shrouded in gray mist and chaos, had transformed into a clear starry sky.

This was no metaphor; it had truly turned into a starry sky.

He saw dozens of stars emitting a crisp, pale silver light.

Some stars were bright, dazzling, while others were faint, indistinguishable unless looked at carefully.

One of the brightest stars caught his eye, and in a daze, he saw a Barbarian kneeling, praying loudly.

"Could this star represent a follower?"

He looked at each one and found that apart from the brightest star, he couldn't sense the others—they seemed to be shallow believers.

...

On the Barbarian Island near the Dongning Spatial Passage.

Still beneath the "Tree God."

The tree, which had lost its divinity, hadn't died; it remained verdant and impressive.

But the mysterious leaves that once gleamed like emeralds had turned into ordinary leaves, and the airflow that lingered between its branches had vanished without a trace, completely reduced to the mundane.

Similarly, the tribe no longer worshipped it.

Over two hundred Barbarians prostrated themselves around a three-meter-high crude stone statue, praying loudly.

The statue was quite simple and rough; it was impossible to discern its features, and its body proportions were severely distorted.

A young Wizard painted all over and dancing frenziedly, his face manic.

With the final blood sacrifice and the tribe's repeated prayers.

The stone statue finally emitted a hazy glow, spreading outward. As this Domain of Faith expanded, the Natural Spirits hidden within the earth fled quickly as if their butts were on fire; some weak spirits even had their soul bodies dissipate, turning into a weak energy that merged into this Domain of Faith.

The eerie atmosphere had completely vanished.

Many Barbarians felt a sense of awe and reverence; those who had initially doubted or even hated the "God of Calamity" quickly curled up their hearts, not daring to harbor any thoughts of desecration.

This was a god capable of killing the Tree God!

Stronger than the Tree God.

A breeze blew past, making the tree leaves rustle gently.

...

Ever since Chen Shouyi slaughtered most of the young adults in this tribe, the Barbarian's days had quickly become difficult.

The most direct manifestation was the rapid decrease in food. Previously, they would get by somehow.

But winter was fast approaching.

Due to elemental inertia, the world's winter was harsher than Earth's.

Most animals would reduce activity and begin hibernating. Usually, this time was when food was massively stored to prepare for winter. However, now, let alone storing food, the entire tribe couldn't even eat their fill.

Without adequate food, the tribe couldn't survive the cruel winter.

To worsen the situation, the Tree God lost its divinity and could no longer protect the tribe from the invasion of evil Natural Spirits.

There were several powerful Natural Spirits on this island.

Every night, they would emerge. They naturally had no impact on the robust Barbarians, but to those old and frail, they were like greedy leeches. Once entangled, the body would weaken day by day until death, eventually even the soul being devoured.

Since the Tree God's Domain of Faith dissipated, almost every few days, an elder would die.

The entire tribe fell into a state of panic.

The belief in the "God of Calamity" started as an act of a few terrified Barbarians secretly.

Many primitive beliefs often stem from fear and the unknown.

To the Barbarians, an alien with strange skin color, mysterious attire, and unmatched might and brutality perfectly fit the persona, gaining a mysterious aura in their imagination, becoming the embodiment of disaster and misfortune.

If Chen Shouyi hadn't become a divine creature, maybe over time, the fear lingering in the Barbarians' hearts would gradually fade, and the belief would rapidly vanish, ultimately forgotten in memory.

But there were no ifs.

The moment Chen Shouyi achieved divinity, during prayers, the Barbarians faintly sensed his presence.

What followed was a chain reaction.

Did the Barbarians have loyalty to the Tree God? Certainly, they did.

But it was more about practicality.

A god unable to protect the tribe's survival would never receive sincere devotion.

If the Tree God never showed anything divine, the Barbarians would accept it casually while still worshipping. But now that the Tree God lost its ability, aside from its still formidable presence, it was of no use!

At this moment, another "god" appeared within their view.

The Barbarians naturally switched camps in minutes.

As for integrity, in the face of cruel survival, what is that?

Can it be eaten?

Under the new Clan Leader, overcoming opposition, the entire tribe swiftly changed its faith in a short time.
