After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 38

It’s no wonder that Yuanyuan spent half a day on these two peaks without observing anything.

 

The star beast stealthily hid behind the distant dark clouds. The immense wings stirred up winds that could be mistaken for weather changes in an instant. But as it approached the dark clouds, the winds surged, shattering the clouds in an instant, trailing behind it was a ‘dark cloud’.

 

No, it should be said that it was the star beast pack driven by its agitation.

 

Everyone squeezed into the crevice.

 

The few tied up members of the carp tribe were also brought in because they feared exposing the whereabouts of their group.

 

Xinghui nestled between the crevice and Yuanyuan, poking his head out to look outside.

 

Such a large pack of star beasts was indeed rare.

 

Xinghui also consciously leaned closer to Yuanyuan, conveniently facilitating the removal of the first follower of their own faith when it was time to run away.

 

Then the little deity who poked his head out was blown by the wind waves outside.

 

His military cap was almost blown off, but fortunately, Yuanyuan quickly pressed it back.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

Yuanyuan had watched Xinghui poke his head out and get hit by the wind, almost staggering back two steps.

 

The little deity could now only see the outlines and spiritual energy of living beings. Although he could hear the sound of the wind, he had somewhat misjudged the power and distance of sticking his head out.

 

Yuanyuan subconsciously turned Xinghui around, lifting his face.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

Xinghui tried to open his eyes wide, his face maintaining its usual expressionless and icy demeanor.

 

The deity’s face had cooled down from being blown by the wind, the previous flush fading away, leaving him somewhat sickly pale. Though he wasn’t delicate enough to be left with red marks from the harsh wind, clearly Xinghui hadn’t anticipated it earlier. He had tried to look outside, and now his eye sockets were red, not looking like he was fine at all.

 

Yuanyuan wanted to wipe his face, but there was nothing clean available, and he didn’t dare to reach out.

 

A big man like him was a bit at a loss at the moment.

 

Looking at Xinghui’s face again, still calm and composed, utterly reliable.

 

Yuanyuan was half-trusting.

 

“Really, are you really okay?”

 

“I’m fine.”

 

After saying that, Xinghui looked away.

 

Then he quickly rubbed his eyes.

 

Really, he was fine.

 

The dignity of the deity was intact!

 

Yuanyuan: …

 

Alright, alright.

 

“But we might encounter some trouble.”

 

Xinghui calmed down his mind, which had been bewildered by the wind, and calmly spoke up.

 

“No wonder I couldn’t detect the traces of the deity fragment after looking for half a day. I thought it was a very small deity fragment. It turned out that the fragment was held in the mouth of the leading star beast.”

 

The star beast probably instinctively realized the usefulness of the deity fragment, so it directly claimed the deity fragment for itself. The power of the deity fragment when it was active was all neutralized by its violent genetic disease, leaving hardly any traces.

 

Xinghui could feel the frantic call of the deity fragment—Help, help, save me!

 

It was somewhat exaggerated.

 

Xinghui and Yuanyuan exchanged glances.

 

What to do?

 

Obviously, the star beast wouldn’t just open its mouth and let them take out the deity fragment.

 

Yuanyuan raised his hand and flexed his wrist.

 

Then they would have to find an opportunity to act.

 

But the oppression from this tide of star beasts was too strong. If they were near the Divine Star, where there were many demons, and everyone teamed up against it, they might have a chance. But now their manpower was insufficient, so they had to seize the opportunity.

 

“Boss, shall I go out and scout?”

 

The demons who hadn’t had the chance to show off in front of Xinghui just now were now eager to try.

 

“Do you want to go out?”

 

Zu Cong was originally sitting next to his younger brother and sister.

 

His younger brother and sister were two children with severe genetic diseases, and they were somewhat unclear in consciousness. He stood up.

 

“Is the target the leading star beast? We have a way to separate the star beasts using plants that can attract them. I can take you to gather them, and you can use these plants to scatter the star beasts. Our parents taught us these methods.”

 

He quickly spoke up, jumping off the platform.

 

He landed right beside the tied-up carp tribe members.

 

The slender teenager squatted down and deftly tied the legs of his pants with ropes, so that these relatively loose pants wouldn’t slip and trip him during running.

 

He squatted down, coincidentally meeting the eyes of the carp tribe member who had just been frightened by Xinghui. The carp tribe member smiled faintly and moved his lips, no longer daring to speak loudly after being scared by Xinghui, only speaking softly.

 

“Really? Do you actually believe the nonsense of the demons and that fake god? Since the beginning of history, the deities have always been in power in the Upper Star System, and it has never changed. What they hate the most is the demons—”

 

Before he finished speaking softly, Zu Cong had already finished tying up and stood up, looking down at him.

 

“My recognized deity came to save us. He is with us, and my younger brother and sister’s genetic disease has not worsened. What about your recognized deity?”

 

The calm words of the young boy made the carp tribe member open his mouth, wanting to talk about how powerful his deity was, and how Lord Yuejian had prevented the lords of the Upper Star System from suffering from severe genetic diseases every day.

 

But at this moment, he couldn’t say a word.

 

The proximity of Carp Star to Weaver Star meant that even though Carp Star was several times larger in size, like the Weaver Tribe, they were harassed by this pack of star beasts. They had fled from under the hands of these star beasts, fleeing in embarrassment to Weaver Star.

 

Despite claiming to be relatives of the Dragon Tribe, they were fundamentally no different from the Weaver Tribe.

 

He looked at Zu Cong’s antennae standing up on his head, still wearing the ill-fitting military uniform of the demon tribe, and walked towards the door.

 

The imposing and intimidating black deity now bent down slightly and whispered something to Zu Cong.

 

Several carp tribe members fell silent for a moment.

 

But some still forcefully avoided eye contact.

 

It was just here that they were twisting the facts. Could the announcement from Brilliant Star be wrong?

 

And indeed, there was a bit of trouble on Xinghui’s side.

 

These were all children. Originally, it was agreed that they would follow the other demon tribesmen onto the airship.

 

But after hearing that they wanted to stay a while longer on Weaver Star, almost all the children cautiously asked if they could wait a little longer here.

 

It wasn’t because they couldn’t bear to leave their homeland. Each child seemed to be waiting for someone.

 

Combining the fervent rebuttal of the carp tribe child just now, the way they had hesitated to answer when asked about their parents earlier, it was basically certain that they were waiting for their parents.

 

And considering the pollution situation on Weaver Star, many of these children couldn’t bear it anymore. The adults had been exposed to the pollution for a long time, and with Lu Xuan and the others having scanned the entire Weaver Star earlier, there were no other Weaver Tribe members left besides these children.

 

What had happened in between, one could guess the general idea.

 

The star beasts outside were currently in a violent period, wreaking havoc everywhere.

 

But because they were a bit far away, the wind and waves outside weren’t as intense at the moment.

 

The demon tribe had left a few people behind to watch over these children who wanted to wait for their return. Along with the tied-up carp tribe members, the rest of the people followed Zu Cong’s lead and headed to the location of the plants he mentioned.

 

These plants were unique to Weaver Star, a type of giant grass that grew by the lakeside and could be grown by the Weaver Tribe. During the tender shoot stage, they could grow as tall as adults and were called Weaver Grass. These grasses were the favorite food of the avian star beasts when they were just sprouting, even if they were controlled by genetic diseases, they would subconsciously chase after them. However, once the Weaver Grass grew to the stage with black-green leaves, they would give up eating them. At this stage, the grass contained a large amount of fiber, which was the raw material for the expensive fabrics exported by the Weaver Tribe.

 

The lake was very calm.

 

The tender Weaver Grass around it had already been messed up by the restless avian star beasts.

 

Zu Cong looked around and led the demon tribe to a crevice. He squatted down and reached out his hand.

 

“My spiritual power can only grow this one plant, but the avian star beasts are very sensitive to the scent of Weaver Grass. By dividing it up, we should be able to attract the star beast groups that are currently gathered together and lead them away temporarily.”

 

Xinghui watched as the light green spiritual power in the hands of the young boy lit up, and the outline of the white light belonging to Weaver Grass slowly rose from nothingness, eventually growing taller than the boy himself.

 

Although Weaver Grass could continue to grow, for Zu Cong at his age, this was already his limit.

 

“This is also taught to me by my elders.”

 

The young boy laboriously plucked off several lush grass leaves and handed them to the demon tribe members around him.

 

Finally, he turned around and looked at Xinghui.

 

“My lord deity, please don’t mind their desire to wait a little longer. They are still reluctant to leave here, and when the adults left, they promised they would come back.”

 

But so far, no matter how they left, and how they explained to their children before leaving, they had not come back.

 

And in the Weaver Tribe, they often ran to Weaver Star to escape from the star beasts, occasionally leading to such debates. The carp tribe often mocked them for not being able to see the reality clearly, saying that perhaps their parents had abandoned them because they were nuisances.

 

During this period of time, with such words and experiences, for the Weaver Star children with an average age of only eight or nine years old, it was truly a nightmare they were unwilling to mention.

 

The Weaver Tribe was already rare, and for the sake of survival, to divert the attention of the avian star beasts or resist the exploitation of other star beasts and the carp tribe, only these children were left in the end.

 

Even though they knew in their hearts that the adults were no longer here, they still couldn’t help but wait a little longer, and a little longer. It was as if they were holding onto hope, waiting a little longer, and maybe Mom and Dad would come back.

 

“Are your parents also—?”

 

A demon tribe member who couldn’t see the situation clearly asked casually from the side, but was immediately elbowed in the chest by another demon tribe member next to him, causing him to gasp for breath.

 

Zu Cong had already said before that there was nothing that couldn’t be said now.

 

“My father passed away from genetic disease a long time ago, and my mother… when she left, I was still making her angry.”

 

The young boy lowered his eyelashes.

 

“Because at that time, there were already very few people in the tribe. I was the oldest in the tribe and had to learn a lot of things from the Weaver Tribe. It was very hard and tiring, and I also had to avoid these birds and beasts and survive. At that time, I cried and didn’t want to learn from my mother properly. Later, when my mother went out to look for something, she never came back. If I had known it was the last time— I wouldn’t have said those things or done those things.”

 

Now he was trying hard to be a good big brother to his younger brother and sister, just like his mother would have expected.

 

But likewise, he was also one of the children in the tribe who didn’t need to wait for their parents.

 

Because his mother—didn’t say goodbye before she left.

 

He didn’t even know if his mother was upset because he didn’t listen to her properly.

 

“My lord deity, thank you for granting my request.”

 

Zu Cong earnestly spoke to Xinghui.

 

The deity with black hair was dazed for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and remained calm.

 

“You have done well, and even without you, we would still need to search for things in the Lower Star System, not just for you.”

 

Yuanyuan didn’t take any Weaver Grass. The moment he saw the avian beasts rushing over, he held the little deity and left.

 

Lu Xuan also carried Zu Cong and ran back.

 

“Boss, I’ll take him back first. It’s too dangerous outside.”

 

Now there was no need for anyone to teach them.

 

The demon tribe members chased by the avian beasts scattered and ran away, using a few expressive phrases, having become proficient on their own.

 

Although the demon tribe was quite competitive and liked fighting, it didn’t mean they enjoyed being ganged up on.

 

Fortunately, the demon tribe members were individually capable, running quickly with the Weaver Grass. If it were another race, they might not have been able to handle it.

 

The avian beast leading the charge was the least affected by the Weaver Grass.

 

At this moment, the leading avian beast finally emerged from the surrounding group of other avian beasts.

 

It was larger than the other avian beasts by a significant margin. As Yuanyuan settled Xinghui, he took out his spiritual power gun and aimed at the avian beast.

 

The other demon tribe members surrounded it.

 

It must be said that when it came to hunting star beasts, no race could surpass the demon tribe living in the desolate star system with groups of star beasts in their territory.

 

The avian beast found itself isolated and helpless too late.

 

It was skillfully bound by the demon tribe with various sturdy nets, resisted with spiritual power against Yuanyuan, and endured blows from several demon tribe members. Finally, in its struggle, it gradually became still.

 

Xinghui watched from not far away, originally worried about his believers.

 

But he found that these guys were extremely skilled at dealing with star beasts.

 

They couldn’t handle a group of star beasts, but one was more than enough. Yuanyuan even invited Xinghui to practice against the star beast since he hadn’t seen the little deity shoot before.

 

Xinghui, whose hand was slightly numb from the previous shots, politely declined.

 

Just as one demon tribe member was about to pry open the avian beast’s mouth.

 

The fragment of the deity suddenly lit up, flew out of the avian beast’s mouth, and flew towards Xinghui with a pitiful cry.

 

But before it could reach Xinghui’s arms, it was casually caught by Yuanyuan with a spare piece of clothing. After giving it a good rub while it struggled, he handed it to Xinghui.

 

The place wasn’t far from the crevice.

 

As the demon tribe pulled the huge star beast from the sky to the ground, the demon tribe inside the crevice was arranging for these little Weaver Tribe children to leave.

 

The few carp tribe members were casually thrown at the entrance of the cave.

 

When Xinghui turned around and saw those little Weaver Tribe children taking their few belongings and looking back every few steps, he held the fragment of the deity that hadn’t merged yet. At this moment, he realized something, and the black-haired deity paused for a moment.

 

“You all wait.”

 

All the little Weaver Tribe children looked cautiously at Xinghui.

 

They had already heard from Big Brother Zu Cong.

 

This was their lord deity, and in the future, Big Brother would teach them how to use the spiritual power of the Weaver Tribe, and they should do things well so they could survive on their own.

 

The impression these little Weaver Tribe children had of Xinghui still lingered on the cold and merciless appearance of the one who had sharply taught someone a lesson with a gun before. Now, being stopped, they couldn’t help but feel a little frightened.

 

“My lord deity, is there something—”

 

Zu Cong was the first to speak.

 

But the next moment, he saw something in Xinghui’s arms glowing—

 

No, Xinghui was also glowing—

 

At a time when all the little Weaver Tribe children were puzzled, a tender voice rang out.

 

“Mom!”

 

A virtual shadow appeared behind each little Weaver Tribe child.

 

Yuanyuan stood by Xinghui’s side, watching those shadows.

 

“This is the remaining spiritual power,”

 

Just like the spiritual power of the star beast that guarded the energy mine.

 

Xinghui’s power had pieced together the remaining spiritual power of these little Weaver Tribe parents.

 

Zu Cong also stared blankly at the gentle shadow in front of him, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.

 

“Mom— and Dad?”

 

The young boy who had been pretending to be calm and trying to act like an adult finally couldn’t hold back his tears, which flowed out in large drops.

 

“Yes, I’m sorry, I was so willful at that time… Mom, am I doing okay now?”

 

The gentle shadow in front of Zu Cong crouched down, smiled gently, and reached out to gently stroke his head, then looked at his younger brother and sister.

 

She didn’t say anything, but her smile and demeanor seemed to have explained everything.

 

—My child, you’ve been doing well all along, Mom isn’t angry.

 

She also glanced slightly at the deity standing not far away.

 

Xinghui observed the fragment of the deity in his hand with lowered eyes, and the little tuft of hair on his head swayed gently.

 

“It really works, huh—”

 

He murmured softly to himself.

 

Then he looked up.

 

He happened to meet the gentle gaze of the Weaver Tribe woman, then stood up, bowed to Xinghui, turned around, and in Zu Cong’s sight, began to gradually dissipate into crystal clear spiritual fragments, she raised her hand.

 

And the young boy finally had the opportunity to say goodbye.

 

“Mom, goodbye.”

 

Yuanyuan was still witnessing such a situation for the first time, and there was still some incomprehension in his heart.

 

Didn’t the adult Weaver Tribe members go out to protect their own people and then die outside?

 

It was completely because of the avian beast’s spiritual power, which was still lingering there due to the presence of the energy mine and its powerful spiritual power.

 

“Are these really the spirits of their parents?”

 

Xinghui came back to his senses, turning to look at Yuanyuan.

 

“It’s said that the spiritual power of humanoid races is particularly different. They have more emotions. After dissipating outside, they may still search for your aura from afar because they’re worried and follow you.”

 

The pitch-black, deep eyes were now illuminated by the fragment of the deity, with the soft curls of the little deity falling over his forehead, bringing a hint of a smile.

 

“From this perspective, haven’t they also fulfilled their promise and tried to return home?”

 

For a moment, it was difficult to describe the feeling Xinghui gave people right now.

 

Yuanyuan was stunned, his dark red eyes fixed on the fair side of Xinghui’s face. Occasionally, when the wind blew, it lifted his hair, and the swaying tuft of hair became even more lively without the constraints of the military cap from handling the large avian beast earlier.

 

As the fragment of the deity entered Xinghui’s body, the spiritual power of those people completely dissipated.

 

The expressions of all the little Weaver Tribe children looking at Xinghui were now different.

 

Zu Cong was the first to come forward, speaking softly.

 

“My lord deity, could you touch my head again?”

 

Yuanyuan: ?

 

Yuanyuan watched as Xinghui crouched down in response, raised his hand, and gently touched Zu Cong’s head.

 

To be honest, those two small antennae mixed with strands of hair felt very strange.

 

“I, I want it too!”

 

“My lord deity, me too!”

 

A group of little Weaver Tribe children rushed over. The last little girl who ran over even turned back to the dazed carp tribe members and made a face.

 

“My mom and dad didn’t lie. They didn’t abandon us. They’ve gone home, so let’s say goodbye properly!”

 

Yuanyuan began to understand why people couldn’t take their eyes off Xinghui.

 

Everyone praised the deity for curing genetic diseases and protecting them.

 

But the black-haired deity made people want to approach him not only because of genetic diseases but also because of his inner gentleness and strength.

 

Although that’s what they say.

 

But you little ones shouldn’t go too far.

 

Yuanyuan blocked Xinghui and quickly had the surrounding demon tribe members take away this group of little Weaver Tribe children.

 

Watching this trouble he had caused himself, he felt a headache coming on.

 

And vaguely felt like he had forgotten something.

 

At that moment, the communicator rang.

 

“Hello? Hello! Boss, boss! Can you hear me? Have you finished over there? Can we stop running? There are too many of these avian beasts, and they’re flying more and more vigorously. What the hell is this Weaver Grass?!”

 

Ah, it turned out he had forgotten about these guys who were holding the Weaver Grass to divert the strange group.

 

Yuanyuan calmly picked up the communicator.

 

“It’s okay now. Throw away the Weaver Grass, report your position, and we’ll come to pick you up later.”

 

“Okay, boss—damn, why are they still chasing after me? Is this Weaver Grass marinating me or something?!”
