Chapter 926: Chapter 915: Beastman Plane 35

"How much longer until it starts?" They had been waiting here all morning, and nothing had begun yet, Xia Yue was getting a little bored.

"Midday was mentioned, and there’s half an hour until twelve o’clock, just wait patiently. Having waited so long, it would not be worthwhile to leave now and lose your spot," Ziluo said, looking around at the other Beastmen.

Besides the four of them, other Beastmen showed great reverence towards the statue.

"Of course I can’t exit, I’ve waited all morning, I’m not afraid of half an hour more," Xia Yue certainly wasn’t going to leave, as she wouldn’t be able to squeeze back in.

They continued to wait patiently for almost an hour, and finally, the Sky Eagle Tribe’s Clan Leader and Priest, along with the priests of other major tribes, appeared.

Seeing them come out, all the Beastmen in the tribe got excited, waiting for them to commune with the Beast God and ask for help to get through the approaching Ice Age.

The Sky Eagle Clan Chief quieted the Beastmen present, as the Priests prepared to start the recitation of the ceremonial text.

All the Beastmen became silent and knelt down in a posture of prayer.

Even the Sky Eagle Clan Chief knelt behind the several Priests.

"What shall we do?" Xia Yue saw that the other Beastmen had knelt down, and they would stand out too much if they didn’t kneel, which wouldn’t be good.

"Just squat down, a half-kneel will suffice," Yan Mo replied without any psychological burden, having knelt in greeting during undercover missions before, so kneeling to a deity was even less of a burden.

"Oh," Xia Yue nodded, she was even less burdened, just like the New Year god-worship rituals on Blue Star.

Her main concern was for Wei Se and Ziluo, with one being a deity from the heavens and the other a Mountain God who was worshipped by people, and now they were to kneel before other deities.

Wei Se and Ziluo glanced around, then, using their dresses for cover, they simply sat down; after all, the other Beastmen didn’t know.

"Why do you two look so short?" Xia Yue noticed that Wei Se and Ziluo were significantly shorter than them and curiously asked them using Spiritual Power voice transmission.

"We’ve sat down," Wei Se replied.

"Can you do that?" Xia Yue’s eyes widened in surprise. She had only secretly used a soft cushion under her because the ground here was covered in small stones.

"The main reason is that this Beast God is not of a stature that warrants our worship, so we can only sit," Wei Se explained, as the hierarchy amongst gods is strict and one cannot kneel willy-nilly. If the deity was of lesser power than them, they would suffer a backlash.

"Alright then, you sit. If I sit down now, it will be too obvious," Xia Yue felt that she had knelt down too quickly.

"Stop talking, the ceremony has started, it’s rare to witness such an ancient ritual," Wei Se said, watching the tribal Priests spread out around the statue, ready to begin the ceremonial rite, and reminding Xia Yue.

With the first sentence of the ceremonial text recited by the Sky Eagle Priest, other priests started a sacred dance while joining in the recitation.

Xia Yue watched the Priests’ sacred dance with curiosity. Although she couldn’t understand what they were chanting, she thought the ancient language sounded quite pleasing, offering a flavor that modern dance on Blue Star lacked.

"How does it feel?" Wei Se asked via Spiritual Power transmission.

"It looks good, there’s an indescribable feeling," Xia Yue replied.

"This is the most primitive form of sacred dance, and it’s simple," Wei Se said, her eyes tinged with a hint of nostalgia. In the past, her own faithful also often performed this dance for her. Times had changed, and the dances had become much simpler.
