She stood up, her attire distinct from that of most of the tribes’ beastn, who wore animal skins. The High Priest was clothed in plain white garnts sewn from linen, which were soft and labor-intensive to make. In the entire tribe, only the High Priest had such a luxury.
At this mont, she stood in the night wind, her voluminous white robe billowing in the breeze as if a gust stronger than this might carry her slender body away.
Ovis sat not far from her, feeling an urge to walk over and shield her from the wind.
It was then that Gu Shengyin spoke up, "Last night, I received a divine revelation from the Beast God."
Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it resounded clearly in the ears of every mber of the Owl Clan, even those not present because they were patrolling outside.
Such an ability deepened the Owl Clan’s reverence for her, and the implied significance in Gu Shengyin’s words caused them all to beco somber.
Upon hearing the words "Beast God," all the beastn instinctively stood up and bowed their heads toward Gu Shengyin’s direction.
In their hearts, the High Priestess was the spokesperson of the Beast God on the Beastman Continent.
No beastn had ever seen what the Beast God looked like. In comparison, the High Priest who brought wealth and prosperity to the Owl Clan was unquestionably held in higher esteem.
Then, the words that followed from Gu Shengyin plunged everyone into euphoria.
"My Owl Clan will beco the strongest tribe on the Beastman Continent, and the children of the Owl Clan will beco the strongest beastn on the continent!"
"Long live the Beast God," everyone was stunned by the news.
They didn’t doubt Gu Shengyin was lying; in their world, no beastman would dare to joke about the Beast God.
"The Beast God has told how to beco a priest and the thods for further cultivation." If Gu Shengyin had just painted the Owl Clan a grand picture, then with these words, she was telling them how to savor this feast.
All the beastn looked at Gu Shengyin with astonishnt.
Priests were such a precious resource. In their vast Owl Clan, only a few beastn had the potential to beco priests, and only the Great Priest Wu Luo could serve as the High Priest of a tribe.
Priests needed to possess Witch Power, sothing bestowed by the Beast God at birth. And now the High Priest was saying other beastn could also hope to beco priests?
A powerful High Priest was, to a clan, an existence as stabilizing as the Stabilizing Sea Needle.
If the Owl Clan could have many priests... contemplating this possibility, the eyes of all the beastn turned red with excitent.
"Starting tomorrow during the day, bring ten little beastn to each day, and I will observe one by one who has the potential to beco a priest," Gu Shengyin said before returning to her seat.
She had spoken enough for today; it was ti for them to digest the information.
Sure enough, the entire Owl Clan was imrsed in a state of excitent, and many of the adult beastn did not sleep at all that night.
The next day, as soon as Gu Shengyin woke up, she noticed the neatly arranged beastn outside.
"What ti is it already?" Gu Shengyin was surprised.
The system answered, "If converted to the 24-hour clock, it’s only six in the morning now."
Six in the morning? Gu Shengyin pushed open the door and indeed, there were beads of moisture atop the heads of the beastn outside, clearly the result of the morning mist they had gathered.
The little beastn were fine, each held in their parents’ arms, wrapped tightly in animal skins, with a few even in the sweet embrace of sleep.
