Chapter 538 The Power of Faith
As Su Muyao listened to these words, her expression became increasingly serious, as if she could see what the beast world looked like back then through these words.

Looking at Su Muyao's expression, Di Fuyuan knew that she wanted to hear these things and understand them.

So he continued speaking.

"Of course, at that time the Zerg orcs did not dare to use evil magic to harm orcs of other races."

"Once discovered by the Witch Clan, the Zerg will be severely punished."

"But around 100,000 years ago, the insectoid orcs probably knew that the witch race's abilities were not what they used to be, so they acted without any scruples."

"The abilities of the Wu Clan beastmen 100,000 years ago were actually weakened by the Black Lotus of Annihilation. The Wu Clan's abilities were strongest 300,000 years ago, when they were at their peak. However, there were many giant beasts at that time, and wild beasts that survived for a certain period of time and possessed crystal cores were also extremely ferocious."

"Orcs can obtain crystal cores by hunting ferocious beasts to enhance their strength. However, after the cataclysmic event, there are no more giant beasts, and wild beasts no longer have crystal cores. In order to quickly improve their strength and catch up with the level of their ancestors, some orcs have used evil forbidden techniques. For example, the insectoids use the ability to devour other orcs to quickly enhance their own strength."

"If it were 300,000 years ago, the Wu Clan would have only needed to send two or three elders to resolve this matter."

"But 100,000 years ago, the Wu Clan mobilized countless powerful beings to seal the Insect Clan in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land. These powerful beings consumed a great deal of power and soon passed away. During the cataclysmic calamity, other members of the Wu Clan had to protect the Beastmen and resist the power of the Black Lotus of Annihilation from completely invading the Beast World. Most of them sacrificed themselves to bring about the Beast World we have today."

"However, after 100,000 years, the power of the Black Lotus of Annihilation may make a comeback."

As Su Muyao listened to these words, her heart was filled with turbulent emotions; these facts deeply shocked her.

"So this is the truth."

"The Wu Clan orcs actually paid such a high price."

Emperor Fuyuan said softly, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

"The Witch Clan possessed divinely bestowed power, and naturally they took on such a heavy responsibility."

Su Muyao murmured, "The brocade pouch my grandfather left me tells me with my divine sense that I should be kinder to the Moon Clan beastmen and to Yue Wuhen."

"I think I understand what my grandfather meant now."

Unfortunately, before she could treat Yue Wuhen any better, Yue Wuhen died.

Su Muyao felt lost and sad at this moment, with a sense of gloom.

When the name of Yue Wuhen from the Wu Clan was mentioned, Di Fuyuan said, "The Wu Clan is indeed worthy, and so is Yue Wuhen."

He deserves the kindness of others.

"Unfortunately, the orcs today may not know the price the witches paid back then."

Emperor Fuyuan held the Wu tribe in high regard.

He knew exactly what the Wu Clan had sacrificed.

Thinking of everything that had happened between the Witch Clan and the Dragon Clan, Di Fuyuan's peach blossom eyes instantly flashed with a cold light.

Su Muyao remained silent for a long time before continuing to ask, "Do you know about the Ancient Celestial Serpent?"

Di Fuyuan looked at Su Muyao, and then seemed to look through her into the distance. He smiled, his peach blossom eyes shimmering with affection. He chuckled softly, "Little girl, you want to know about Wen Nanxi. Are you so worried about him?"

Su Muyao found Di Fuyuan's peach blossom eyes too captivating; even a single glance from them made her mind wander. She stopped looking and nodded earnestly, saying, "Yes, I'm very worried."

"I don't want his consciousness to be erased by another clone and disappear into the world."

She couldn't bear to even think about it.

Di Fuyuan said, "Little girl, call me brother, and I will help you." Su Muyao was stunned for a moment, then blinked, hesitated for a second, and then readily agreed, "Brother."

Anyway, it won't do any harm to call out.

However, Su Muyao was startled when she heard the word "brother".

She felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had used that name a long time ago.

However, by calling him that, she felt as if she had suddenly become closer to him.

Besides, she got the better deal by calling the dragon beastman her brother.

Di Fuyuan's peach blossom eyes narrowed, and his expression grew even more profound, as if he had thought of something.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Since you've called me 'brother,' then I'll naturally help you."

"In ancient times, the ancient celestial serpents were serpent gods of the divine realm. They had nine heads and the power to mend the heavens."

"During the cataclysmic event 300,000 years ago, a section of the sky in our Beast World was also torn open. The power of the Black Lotus of Annihilation invaded, and it was the Serpent God at that time who consumed his own power to mend the torn sky."

"At that time, there were many orcs who believed in the snake god. Not only the snake race, but also other races, the snake god temple was the most lively for sacrifices and offerings."

"But patching up the hole in the sky won't be easy; it means he'll have to face the power of the Black Lotus that destroys the world."

"The Serpent God extended his nine heads to their maximum extent, as if forming nine pillars supporting the sky. When he was mending the sky, his power seemed to be stolen. His sacrifice completed the sky, preventing the power of the Black Lotus of Annihilation from reaching the Beast World in its entirety, thus buying time for the Beastmen of the Beast World to survive."

"But that's not enough. A portion of the power of the Black Lotus of Annihilation has already invaded the Beast World."

Di Fuyuan's expression shifted several times as he recalled what had happened to the Dragon Clan back then.

He didn't mention the dragon race, but continued talking about the snake-beastmen. "Back then, the snake god was able to mend that torn sky because he possessed the power of faith from the beastmen of the beast world."

"The power of faith is actually extremely strong."

"It is likely that the power of the Black Lotus of Annihilation was wary of the power of faith of the Serpent Clan, so it used the aura of the Black Lotus to change the orcs' respect and faith in the Serpent Beastmen, constantly weakening the power of the Serpent Beastmen, and eventually even making the orcs prejudiced against the Serpent Beastmen."

Su Muyao's eyes widened in surprise, and she seemed to hear rolling thunder in her ears.

She suddenly remembered seeing the snake shaman of the snake tribe long ago through the abandoned snake god temple in the dense forest.

It felt as if I had traveled through a long period of time and witnessed the snake race go from being revered to being despised.

At that time, it was as if the snake witch had traveled through time and space to see her, allowing her to communicate with the snake witch of that time.

She remembered the snake witch saying that the Snake Temple had gathered the power of countless orcs' faith, which was why it was able to bring her to the ancient snake race and to the Snake Temple in its heyday.

The serpent witch said she was the serpent god's bride and only she could open the serpent god's temple.

Thinking of this, Su Muyao reached out and gently touched the spot on her chest, where the Serpent God's Reverse Scale was placed.

It was something left to her by the serpent god when she entered the serpent god temple.

Mei Qingchen also awakened within the family and suddenly gained a seven-aperture exquisite heart. At that time, she even communicated with him about some things.

Mei Qingchen said that in the past, there was indeed some powerful force in the Beast World that feared the Mei family's ability to divine.

Without a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, one cannot perform divination. Once one possesses a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart and awakens its power, the Mei family can perform divination. The beastmen revere this mysterious power and believe in it.

Therefore, the Black Lotus of Annihilation did not want the Mei family to obtain the power of the orcs' faith.
