With a wave of his hand, Barbatos teleported the Fourth-Order Silver Bear corpse outside the ancestral hall.
When the Fourth-Order Silver Bear corpse appeared at the front of the ancestral hall, Eldric and the wolf beastman tribe, who were still kneeling, felt a slight oppression from the Fourth-Order Silver Bear corpse.
After all, the strongest among them was Eldric, who was at Second-Order. Although the silver bear was only a corpse, it was still at Fourth-Order, a monster that could easily wipe out their entire tribe.
As the hierophant of the wolf tribe, Eldric was bestowed with divine knowledge, so he understood the significance of the silver bear corpse to their tribe.
Eldric immediately lowered his head to the ground and prayed, "Oh, great God of Wind! This humble believer of yours is overwhelmed with gratitude. You have blessed us beyond measure with the gift of this mighty silver bear."
"Your boundless power and mercy are evident in this offering, and we, your faithful servants, are deeply honored. This gift will strengthen our tribe and ensure our survival and prosperity."
"We shall forever remain devoted to you, our divine protector and guide. May your winds always favor us, and may your blessings continue to shower upon us. We pledge our unwavering loyalty and faith to you, oh supreme God of Wind. Thank you for your divine grace and this precious gift."
Not only Eldric, but the rest of the wolf beastmen were grateful for the God of Wind's gift.
Their faith in the God of Wind had increased and those who had risked their life to slay the Second-Order Silver Bear felt their efforts rewarded.
There were even three wolf beastmen whose faith had increased from Pious Believer to Fanatics.
The number of pious believers had also increased and it showed that their faith in the God of Wind had become firm after the God of Wind accepted them.
The difference between a fanatic and a pious believer was that a pious believer believed in the God of Wind wholeheartedly and wouldn't change their belief in normal conditions. But if their life was threatened and their god was slain, then they could still be converted into another god's believer.
As for fanatics, they were madmen who worshipped the God of Wind with their lives on the line. Even if Barbatos was killed, those fanatics would die with him and do everything they could to kill the enemy god.
Mind control might be able to change the beliefs of a fanatic, but the chances were low and it would mostly result in mental retardation due to the resistance of fanatics in being converted into another god's believer.
That's why in divine wars, even if a god managed to take control of another god's believers, that god would kill the enemy god along with the fanatics, saints, and holy spirits since they couldn't be converted into their believers.
Feeling the beliefs and faiths of his believers becoming firmer, Barbatos was satisfied that his believers weren't ungrateful swine.
Afterward, Barbatos no longer interfered and stayed within the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall within the wolf beastman race's base was his residence in the Eternal Continent. Unless it was an emergency, even Eldric couldn't enter the ancestral hall.
As a god, Barbatos knew that he should balance divine interference and free will within his believers. He didn't want his believers to rely on him too much but also didn't want to let them lose their faith in him.
'It will take at least a year for the wolf beastmen to use the Fourth-Order Silver Bear corpse so I might as well leave the Eternal Continent.'
With that in mind, Barbatos left the ancestral hall.
…
After leaving the ancestral hall, Barbatos retrieved his projection and returned to the Divine God City.
The Divine God City was an immense metropolis, spanning billions of kilometers and housing trillions of gods. Divided into countless districts, each the size of a planet, the city was a hub of divine activity.
Gods of all ranks lived here, from lowly demigods to powerful Main Gods. Despite its vast size, the city was meticulously organized, with residential areas, grand temples, training grounds, and bustling markets.
Transportation was facilitated by divine portals and celestial pathways, making travel across the city swift and efficient. Resources were abundant, catering to the needs of every god.
In this sprawling city, Barbatos resided in District 78342, Block 129874, Villa 567382, located in the outer area for demigods. His villa was part of a vibrant community of aspiring gods, each striving to ascend the ranks.
Demigods could only send their projections to the Eternal Continent. It's also one of the main reasons why most gods couldn't directly interfere with the development of their believer race.
Even if a demigod's believer race was about to be wiped out, a Demigod couldn't directly interfere since they were only using a projection. The only way to do it was to bestow power upon their chosen hierophant.
After retrieving his projection from the Eternal Continent, Barbatos gazed at the furniture of his villa lazily.
"To think I have become a god. It still feels surreal having loyal and faithful mortals worshiping me."
Lying on his bed, Barbatos sighed and decided to open the chat group to waste time.
Gods could create a chat group and invite others to join it. It was one of the many entertainments in the Divine God City.
The "Class 69" Chat Group was founded by the class monitor a month ago and as part of the so-called "Class 69", Barbatos and the rest of his classmates joined it.
[God Of Spring Verdantus: Rise and shine you wankers! It's already a month since our transmigration and I presume everyone has already awakened their talent?]
[God Of Wanking Handrin: I feel like you are targeting me? But yes, I have awakened a talent. It's a blue-rank talent known as "Divine Liquid". It allows all liquid in my body to have miraculous effects, especially the white, hot, and thick stuff I have.]
