In the Subterranean Tribe, several old Ground Dwellers, wearing worn yet identifiable Thorium Gnome clothes, knelt before a tall statue of a Ground Dweller, praying in low voices.
These old Ground Dwellers were the oldest in the tribe and were the first to witness the God of Underworlders.
Year after year of protection, even though Lin Xiao did nothing, these Ground Dwellers had come to view him as their protector.
In the sixth year of his protection, upon the elders' call, the Ground Dwellers took several years to carve a statue of Lin Xiao and erected it at the center of the tribe.
Thenceforth, Lin Xiao's faith officially took root and sprouted in this tribe, slowly growing.
By this time, the Subterranean Tribe had grown into a large tribe with over ten thousand members, a prosperity beyond what the Ground Dwellers had ever dreamed of.
