Chapter 396: Chapter396-An Unexpected Turn
John looked at the child before him with an odd expression on his face.

If the system wasn’t mistaken, then this child was one of his teammates.

Yet, it seemed impossible; the child looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old.

The child entered respectfully, placing a fruit tray on the table.

The chieftain watched the child with a warm smile, gently touching his hair.

“Such a good child.”

The child then turned to John and placed some fruit on his table.

While doing so, he subtly made a gesture to John.

John’s hand, holding the fruit, began to tremble involuntarily at that moment, as he recognized the gesture as one from Hidden Stars!

But why would this child know such a gesture?

Moreover, to represent a teammate’s blue dot on the system, John found even his breathing becoming unstable.

The High Priest, keenly noticing John’s unusual demeanor, inquired, “What is it? Divine Envoy, has something distressed you?”

John smiled and waved his hand dismissively.

“No, I was just noticing how clever and neat this child looks. Who is he within the tribe?”

John asked this with a cheerful smile.

At this moment, the chieftain spoke with a smile.

“This child is my son. Divine Envoy, you taking notice of my child is a fortune for him. Let him stay by your side as an assistant to carry things.”

John thought the chieftain was quite on point; he hadn’t said much yet, but the chieftain had already made the perfect offer.

Now, he didn’t need to say much more.

“That sounds good. The child is indeed very clever, and I quite like him.”

John smiled and said no more, as the child quietly remained by his side.

The High Priest drank from the cup in front of him and remained silent, though his eyes seemed to sparkle with a different light.

Meanwhile, John was not idle; he directly inquired about the tribal wars.

The expression on the chieftain’s face grew somber, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly began to speak.

“There are three tribes on our continent. The Eagle Tribe is the most powerful, followed by the Panther Tribe. Our Zebra Tribe, in comparison, is somewhat weaker.”

Upon hearing the names of the three tribes, John couldn’t help but roll his eyes internally.

The first two tribes were named after carnivorous animals, while his was named after a herbivore; if they could defeat the others, it would be a miracle.

The name alone didn’t give them any advantage.

However, John only muttered these complaints to himself while maintaining a very serious expression on the outside.

After all, he was currently serving as the Divine Envoy of the Zebra Tribe.

As for how to handle the situation, he would need to think of some strategies moving forward.

“We rely on battling each other to seize war resources and territory, but we have been losing for three years straight. If we lose again this year, all our people will become slaves to the others,” the chieftain said, his face growing grim.

John could guess the gravity of the situation; after all, these matters involved the distribution of crucial resources.

Resources are precious everywhere, especially so in such places.

Meanwhile, John also sensed an unusual presence drawing closer.

He glanced subtly at the High Priest, whose eyes sparkled with an unusual gleam, and then watched as the High Priest excitedly headed outside.

Seeing John’s expression, the chieftain seemed to understand that John must be harboring some doubts.

He began to explain with a gentle smile, “It seems the gods may have a new decree. Since Divine Envoy, you have come today, why don’t we go outside and see if there are any new revelations from the gods?”

Upon hearing this, John felt a stir in his heart.

He was genuinely curious about what this so-called deity was.

He had initially only been using the guise of the mystical, but to his surprise, it seemed there might indeed be something to it.

Following them outside, he realized that the High Priest had already reached the so-called altar and looked utterly sanctified.

His expression had transformed, becoming profoundly different.

The altar seemed to be gathering invisible energies, with runes around it starting to glow with a soft light.

As the glow became more pronounced, John could feel the power intensifying.

He glanced discreetly at the young boy by his side, his mind brewing with new thoughts.

Although he did not yet know who this boy really was, he knew the child must be one of his teammates.

As for the child’s exact identity, that would have to wait—perhaps he would find an opportunity to inquire more directly later.

John distinctly felt a power spreading across the sky.

Sunlight hit the runes, casting a faint glow that gradually illuminated them.

The power within the runes gathered, and at the same time, the staff in the High Priest’s hands began to glow brighter.

It flickered, as if different forces were converging.

Simultaneously, John felt these powers seemed to have a slight connection with his own essence.

He suddenly realized that, having completed a task earlier, he now had 3% control over this force.

He closed his eyes and tried summoning these energies.

A chorus of gasps arose around him.

While his eyes were closed and he saw nothing, the others saw clearly.

They distinctly saw the lights in the air slowly transform into small dots before entering John’s body.

The High Priest’s expression began to change, for he had never felt anything like this before.

Although he had always tried earnestly to communicate with the divine, he had never been able to let the divine power enter his body in significant amounts—it was always predetermined.

The power was usually stored in the runes, but now, it was different; this man seemed to exceed all their expectations.

This man could truly control mysterious powers, thoroughly surpassing their understanding.

John could clearly feel the power entering his body, strengthening his control over the secret realm from 3% to 4%.

Although it was a slight increase, it signified that the so-called divine powers were actually the control powers of this secret realm.

After John had absorbed all these energies, he saw the astonished looks of those around him and roughly understood what was happening.

Yet, he simply smiled subtly.

“Divine Envoy indeed is a messenger of the gods,” the chieftain said excitedly beside him, his face turning red with enthusiasm.

John remained silent at that moment, merely offering a knowingly profound smile.

Everyone around began shouting excitedly, raising their fists in the air in unison.

“Divine Envoy, sir!”

The entire tribe raised their fists, shouting continuously as if only such displays could express the excitement in their hearts.

They were overwhelmingly thrilled, yet at this moment, they found themselves speechless, only able to gaze in the direction of John.
