Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel

After another two hours, the long-awaited mountain flood finally erupted right at the time and place that Sun Sikong had predicted! Actually, he also had the means to make the mountain floods erupt before their time or delay them as he pleased, but this matter wasn’t that big.

As everything had already been prepared, the Akata Tribe didn’t suffer any damage at all. While the mountain floods were erupting, Sun Sikong started to teach some fish farming methods to Shui Beishan and the others. That made sure that in the future, no matter if it was spring, summer, winter, or fall, the Akata Tribe won’t have to worry about food!

As the Gods were teaching them, Shui Beishan and his people listened with their utmost attention. I, on the other hand, was idle.

“Want to go around with me?” I said to Shui Ling’er who was with me.

“Ah?” As I suddenly invited her, Shui Ling’er felt at a loss of what to do, but she immediately nodded and said, “Okay!”

So, us two disobedient “students” left the classroom of professor Sun Sikong.

...............................

Meanwhile, in the Xixi Tribe, the head of their Tribe, Lowell, was looking at the several men that they had adopted from the Akata Tribe. His face was still pale.

“Godzilla, tell me about that God, what the heck is going on?” Lowell could be considered to have lost big time today.

“I don’t know the specific situation, but I can tell you the events that happened and how that God appeared!” Godzilla said, “I had gone out with the other warriors of the Akata Tribe on that day when Shui Ling’er suddenly found him. He looked like an ordinary man fainted beside the river, so we woke him up!”

“What then?” Lowell asked.

“After that, he said that he was a foreign businessman and then we brought him back to the tribe. Then, for some unknown reason, he expressed his love for Shui Ling’er!” As Godzilla said this, a hatred flashed through his eyes, “I was very excited at that time and was going to have a duel with him! When the fight started, he suddenly used godly fire and forced me back! Only then did we realized that he was actually a god!”

“So, a God just descended to the Akata Tribe through sheer luck?” Lowell envied them. Why couldn’t they discover God before the Akata Tribe!

“Yeah. I have heard that the Dark God of the Dark Tribe also arrived there by sheer chance!” Godzilla said.

“I know, I have heard about that!” Lowell said with a nod, “Dark Tribe was originally called the Inferior Tribe. But in an accidental situation, they found a man in a coma. Later, that man claimed himself to the be God of Darkness. After that, the Inferior Tribe was renamed to the Dark Tribe, and that God lead them to become stronger and stronger!”

“In other words, the God of Darkness and the God of the Akata Tribe both descended to the Mortal World accidentally?” Godzilla said.

“Yes. Moreover, I think their abilities are also quite similar!” Lowell said, “Ah! Why hasn’t any God arrived at our Xixi Tribe?”

Lowell felt annoyed. With the current situation, his Tribe had become the weakest of all! The Dark Tribe had been growing continuously and they had already annexed innumerable small tribes. Their Xixi Tribe had been one of the two major Tribes in the north, together with the Akata Tribe. Yet now, the Akata Tribe had found formidable support, leaving their Xixi Tribe as the weakest!

So now, whether it was the Akata Tribe or the Dark Tribe, their Xixi Tribe wasn’t an opponent to either of them! The magical ability I had displayed today had already scared Lowell!

It was impossible to fight against any of the two tribes! Even if they didn’t fight, it wasn’t known when the Dark Tribe would swallow their Xixi Tribe. Even if the Dark Tribe doesn’t come to find them, will the Akata Tribe let them go after they had been in opposition to them for such a long time?

Lowell could only sigh. Lowell had been an ambitious man before who wanted to unify the entire northern area and annex the Akata Tribe. He never thought that just in half a day, not only was his dream shattered, but even the safety of his Tribe was at risk. There were only problems and no solutions.

His tribesmen also knew that the time had come for the Xixi Tribe to fight for their lives! If they made one wrong mistake, the entire Xixi Tribe might just fall into an abyss of no return.

“Everyone, please give some ideas, I am listening!” Lowell wanted to see what his tribesmen thought. But no matter who it was, no one dared open their mouth!

Seeing that no one was speaking up, Lowell named someone himself, “Patriarch of the Purple Flame Tribe, what opinion do you have?”

The Purple Flame Tribe’s Patriarch was trying to keep his head down and not say anything, but now that the Patriarch had named him, he had no choice but to speak up, “Patriarch Lowell, with our current strength... Although we are quite powerful when compared to the ordinary tribes, compared to tribes like the Dark Tribe and the Akata Tribe, we are too weak! There is no way we can protect ourselves from them!”

“We all know that, so what do you say we do about it?” Lowell waved his hand impatiently.

“I believe that if we want to survive, we must find a strong Tribe to join!” The Purple Flame Tribe’s Patriarch said slowly, “That is, our only way out is to rely on others!”

“You want to say that we bow down to the Akata Tribe?” Lowell’s face was full of helplessness! Just a few hours ago he was telling Shui Beishan that he will have to rely on him, yet now, the tables had turned! He had completely lost his face today!

“Indeed. Besides this, we have no other way!” The Purple Flame Tribe’s Patriarch said, “This is the only way to protect ourselves!”

“But how are we going to do that? If I go and bow before Shui Beishan, he will certainly laugh at me and I am sure that I might not even be given the seat of an elder there!” Lowell shook his head and said what he thought.

“Patriarch Lowell!” Godzilla suddenly spoke, “I seem to have a good idea!”

“Oh? What’s the idea? Say it, we are listening as long as we don’t have to rely on Shui Beishan!” Lowell was interested and said at once.

“I actually agree with the Purple Flame Tribe’s Patriarch!” Godzilla said.

“What are you talking about? Are you playing me? Didn’t you say you had an idea?” Lowell said with anger.

“Patriarch Lowell, please listen to me!” Godzilla waved his hand, “I meant that since we can’t trust the Akata Tribe, we can only go to the Dark Tribe!”

“What! You want us to join the Dark Tribe?” Lowell was shocked. Everyone else present was also stunned!

“But the Dark Tribe is our enemy!” The Patriarch of the Purple Flame Tribe said, “How can we join our enemy?”

“Isn’t Akata Tribe our enemy as well?” Godzilla said in rebuttal.

“That is different!” Lowell said, “The Dark Tribe represents evil! How can we submit to evil? They kill, rape, and commit arson, stopping at no evil!”

“Humph, Patriarch Lowell, isn’t that something we have also done before? So what’s the difference between us and the Dark Tribe?” Godzilla sneered, “We also took advantage of people and tried to force the Akata Tribe to merge into ours!”

“This...” Lowell was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say.
