Before the water stream the size of the river could reach the flaming giant, Wang Wei's eyes flickered and he immediately executed his movement art, his giant flaming form moved so quickly it was as if it instantly disappeared from the path of the gigantic snake's attack and reappeared behind its body.
The nearby tribesmen were absolutely stunned by a gigantic 10-meter tall giant appearing from their bonfire and when the sacrificial tribute saw that the giant made of flames was fighting the demonic snake, his hope was again rekindled so he immediately started pleading loudly to the flaming giant for salvation.
Of course, Wang Wei couldn't hear him at all as he was focused entirely on his battle with this challenging opponent, his goal in this fight wasn't to kill the giant snake but just to scare it away as he didn't like killing any living being unless necessary.
As Wang Wei reappeared behind the body of the giant snake and he forcefully punched out but before the punch could reach the feathered serpent it immediately sensed his punch and it curled its body in an attempt to move away from the flaming arm of the giant.
Fortunately for the giant snake, it managed to do so, but still the punch passed extremely close to its scales and the heat radiating off the fist burned its body.
However, what Wang Wei didn't expect was the snake to, as soon as it felt the pain of his scales being burnt, turn around and run away as fast as its wings could carry it.
Wang Wei was very confused at first as to why a Golden-Core stage beast would run away from him, but then he realized why.
The giant snake was at the apex of this fledgling ecosystem that it even forgot what pain felt like because for thousands of kilometers around it nobody could even reach his body before they died let alone hurt it. So even though it was very powerful, it was frightened out of its skin as soon as Wang Wei managed to make it feel pain, and it ran away as fast as it possibly could.
Wang Wei was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't think about it too much as he continued on with executing his plan to completely control the tribe and shape it into a proper civilization.
The tribesmen were shocked out of their minds to see their god so easily beaten and running away, and so they immediately started pleading for mercy and bowing towards the Wang Wei's flaming giant form.
Wang Wei then yelled out "MY CHILDREN I HAVE COME TO PROTECT YOU FROM THESE DEMONS AND FALSE GODS, I WAS SENT BY VERY HEAVENS THEMSELVES TO HELP THE HUMAN RACE!", because of his physical cultivation his entire body was upgraded that included his vocal cords so his voice reverberates around his surrounding as if the voice from the heavens themselves.
He continued yelling out "I WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THEM ALL, I WILL EVEN ALLOW YOU TO FIGHT AGAINST THEM AND THE ONLY THING I ASK OF YOU IS YOUR DEVOTION TO ME AND TO FOLLOW MY TEACHINGS!".
As he was telling them this his giant flaming form kept shrinking and shrinking until the cyan flames disappeared to reveal Wang Wei dressed in a fire-proof Taoist robe that was a gift of his father, it was in fact a defensive artifact that could withstand a blow from a Nascent-Soul cultivator let alone from his flames.
After the flames completely dissipated, the only place where the flames remained was in his eyes as his pupils glowed crimson, as a show of strength to the tribe.
The people of the tribe were stupefied from all of the new events and the first person to react was in fact the tribute that was meant to be sacrificed as he yelled out "Huang Dian swears to follow the teachings of the deity!" his face was full of relief and in his heart, he immediately swore that he would follow his savior for the rest of his life.
As soon as the other tribesman processed all of their information they immediately cheered in their hearts and followed the example of Huang Dian in bowing down and swearing to follow Wang Wei's teachings.
They were completely convinced in Wang Wei's words because he displayed all of these amazing powers that only demons previously used but most important of all was that he was in fact human.
And they didn't have a hard time believing that their last diety was a demon because of how it asked for human sacrifices.
Wang Wei was very pleased with Huang Dian so he immediately jumped out while utilizing his movement technique to gently float towards the tree where Huang Dian was tied up, further improving his image in the minds of the tribesmen.
When Wang Wei reached the tree he slowly extended his hand which was glowing hot as he used it to burn the weeds they used to bind Huang Dian to the tree.
Then he loudly exclaimed, "When I am not around he will be my representative!", because Wang Wei knew that loyalty born from saving someone's life would last a lifetime and he needed someone who knew how the tribe operated to help him implement his plans.
The tribesmen were still very primitive so they couldn't understand Wang Wei's motives, they only felt jealous that Huang Dian could gain the favor of a deity, but even with their jealousy they still bowed to Huang Dian to show him respect as a representative of a deity.
Meanwhile, Huang Dian was even more surprised than them, because of the reason he was chosen as a sacrifice, he was missing an arm and since he couldn't hunt he was chosen to be sacrificed.
Huang Dian couldn't even comprehend why a god would want a cripple to be his representative because he was unfortunately born in a primitive era where all men who couldn't hunt were considered completely useless and that was ingrained in him by society ever since he was a child.
