Chapter 209 100,000 Battle
"That's right, Billion Mountain. That battle lasted a full three months, with countless lives lost near them. In the end, unable to determine a winner, they ceased fighting and agreed to battle again in 100,000 years."
"What were the results 100,000 years later? Did our Holy Totem win?" Mei asked immediately.
"No, 100,000 years later, it was still a draw. Though both Holy Totems had improved since their first encounter, neither could surpass the other. Thus, there was a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth agreed battle!"
Wow!
A battle every 100,000 years, with the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth encounters? That's incredible! It seems that the Sky piercing Black Eagle is truly an ancient entity that has survived through the ages.
Ethen was equally astonished. He suddenly realized that his previous understanding of powerful beings was too superficial.
In the world of battle pets, cultivation is a novel concept that only began after the revival of spiritual energy.
However, for the creatures of the Wind Splendor Domain and some other worlds, the brilliance of martial arts has been shining for countless millennia.
"Unfathomable!"
This was Ethen's genuine internal assessment of the Sky piercing Black Eagle, a being he had not yet met.
He felt a sense of joy because the more powerful the Sky piercing Black Eagle is, the more it can offer to the Rainbow being upon meeting it...
"All draws?"
Mei asked.
"That's right, the first six agreed battles all ended in draws. The Holy Totem's abilities are profound and extraordinary; it wouldn't fail easily! Of course, its opponent is also immensely powerful. Though it stands on the side of the Leopard Strike Tribe, it is equally deserving of respect," the Great Shaman said.
"The six duels spanned 500,000 years, an inconceivably long period in the context of human history. For the esteemed Totem Lords, even 500,000 years is not a brief duration."
"When these two mighty beings agreed to battle again after 100,000 years, a meteor shower altered the entire Wind Splendor Domain."
"That night, hundreds of powerful beings from another world descended upon the Wind Splendor Domain, riding the meteors. Each of these interworld powerhouses possessed combat strength comparable to our own revered Totem Lords."
"Their arrival fundamentally transformed the global balance of the Wind Splendor Domain. Inevitably, our Totem Lords and the Leopard Tribe were drawn into a great war."
"Ultimately, after 10,000 years of chaotic warfare, many of the interworld powerhouses perished or were wounded."
"At that moment, a being even more powerful than our Totem Lords arrived. Unable to bear the devastation in the Wind Splendor Domain, he intervened and defeated all the surviving visitors from another world."
As the Grand Shaman reached this point in his narrative, his voice rose dramatically.
"One person defeated so many interworld visitors? Who is this individual?" Mei asked curiously.
Ethen's eyes were also filled with questions.
"We do not know his name, only that from that moment on, our entire prairie shared a common belief the Wu God!"
"What?"
"The Wu God?"
Hearing the Grand Shaman reveal these secrets, both Mei and Ethen were shocked. So, this is how the belief in the Wu God originated.
"Shaman elder, does this mean that the Wu God was not a naturally born deity of the Wind Splendor Domain but also from another world?" Ethen turned to the Grand Shaman.
"Indeed, we do not know where the great Wu God came from. What we know is the guidance he left behind: 'Love peace, help and care for each other.'"
"'Love peace, help and care for each other?'"
Ethen almost laughed when he heard this guidance, reminiscent of their high school class motto.
The Wu God seems to have a vastly different personality compared to the Earth Mother Goddess, who is stirring restlessly in the world of battle pets. Quite interesting.
"Yes, Ethen, the Wu God taught us to love peace, help, and care for each other. Is there a problem with that?" Mei asked, noticing Ethen's odd expression.
"Uh, no problem, I'm just curious about this aspect," Ethen replied awkwardly, scratching his head.
"So, did the entire prairie achieve peace afterward?" Ethen inquired of the Grand Shaman.
"It did. It was because everyone adhered to the Wu God's oracles, maintaining harmony and mutual love, that the creatures of the prairie achieved the longest lasting peace."
Since the Wu God descended, defeated the formidable beings, and established faith, the prairie has maintained peace for over 90,000 years, despite occasional conflicts.
"We follow what He said. In such circumstances, the once weak humans gained a rare opportunity for development. Peace is incredibly precious for intelligent species like humans."
"As a result, our human race transformed from one of the many species on the prairie to the strongest terrestrial race in the Wind Splendor Domain, aside from the deities and revered totems," remarked the Grand Shaman with a sigh.
Hearing the Grand Shaman's words, Ethen nodded silently.
Regardless of the Wu God's true purpose for descending upon the Wind Splendor Domain, the mere fact that He helped achieve over 90,000 years of peace on the prairie is a monumental contribution.
In that moment, Ethen mentally separated the Wu God from beings like the Earth Mother Goddess.
"The Wu God also told us that there is no need to pray to Him constantly. Those who believe in Him should not waste their time on prayers but instead live optimistically and actively engage in their own lives."
Seeing Ethen's interest, the Grand Shaman elaborated further.
"Mm, Grandma Shaman is right. The shaman refers to this concept as 'New Faith.' Although we seldom pray to Him, every time someone is ill or the tribe faces natural disasters, the shaman actively responds to us and offers help."
Mei chimed in.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Ethen felt that he had truly broadened his horizons today.
The Earth Mother Goddess, in her quest to spread her faith, was willing to unleash beast tides that brought devastation to the world.
