Chapter 1169: Folks! A Game to Determine the Winner (Vote of the Month) 2

Seeing the two of them, the noisy crowd quieted down all at once.
The Elders of the Barbarian Gu Clan immediately stood up to welcome them.Although they squabbled fiercely in private, in front of Saintess Dai, they always maintained a respectful demeanor, daring not to act recklessly.
Emperor Zi’an, Wang Shouzhe, and others, naturally, also stood up to exchange greetings with Saintess Dai, exchanging a few pleasantries.
Saintess Dai also took the opportunity to soothe everyone’s mood, indicating that they were guests invited by herself.
To be serious, this was the first time both sides had met, but they had long been acquainted in spirit, having already reached a tacit understanding and consensus on many matters.
At this moment, Saintess Dai’s face was calm, but her heart was anything but, far from the tranquility of her outward appearance.
She had long been aware of Wang Shouzhe’s plans, but seeing the two powerful figures behind Emperor Zi’an, whose aura caused even the Heavenly Silkworm within her to feel wary, issuing frequent warnings to her, she couldn’t help feeling secretly alarmed.
Even if her inheritance had not failed, and she eventually ascended to become a Gu Saint, she would merely be equivalent to someone in the Divine Power Territory of Da Qian. Yet, Emperor Zi’an traveled with two Divine Power Territory protectors by his side.
Even with some special reasons involved, this was enough to demonstrate Da Qian’s strength. In comparison, the Sacred Gu Clan was far too weak, far too weak~~
For the Sacred Gu Clan to contend with Da Qian, it was nearly impossible, unless, unless they could find the real inheritance secret book, or a method to allow the Heavenly Silkworm to safely metamorphosize into a Level Eleven Emperor Butterfly…
Well~ why think of these things. If it were so simple, the generations of Gu Saints would have found a way long ago. Besides, up to this day, she had no other choice, thinking about it only added to her troubles.
With a silent sigh in her heart, Saintess Dai’s gaze once again swept across Wang Shouzhe’s face, and she couldn’t help feeling a sense of admiration again.
Indeed, these Da Qian people were all exceptionally good-looking, especially Wang Shouzhe, so stunningly handsome~ No wonder he mesmerized those girls completely. In contrast, the boys of her own tribe were far too unimpressive.
While pondering, the auspicious time arrived.
Saintess Dai waved her hand, and the sound of drums and music rose again, as young men and women danced in unison to the dance pleasing to the ancestors. The atmosphere of the whole village immediately became lively again.
In this joyful atmosphere, Saintess Dai led Wang Luo Jing onto the altar.
Wang Shouzhe and others looked on, feeling it all very novel.
Contrary to what they had imagined, the Barbarian Gu Clan’s ancestor-worship ceremony was unexpectedly simple, devoid of long lamentations or extensive praise; Saintess Dai simply reverently conducted the worship, then repeated the announcement of her intent to pass the position of Saintess to Wang Luo Jing.
Her expression was solemn and earnest, yet her tone was light, as if reporting a joyous event to the ancestors, telling them that the Sacred Gu Clan had a successor.
Even the offerings on the altar consisted only of fresh fruit and the fresh bodies of Fierce Beasts, still bloody from the hunt.
Seeing Wang Shouzhe and others’ curiosity, an Elder who had visited the Wang family explained through a whispering transmission, “In the ancient legends of our Sacred Gu Clan, it is believed that our ancestors do not dissipate utterly upon death but become countless Gu spirits that merge with the world around us. Our control over Gu bugs also relies on the legacy of our ancestors.”
“These fresh fruits and bodies of Fierce Beasts used for the sacrifice will later be placed in the wild for wild insects and our domesticated Gu bugs to gnaw on.”
As they spoke, Saintess Dai had already concluded the sacrifice ceremony.
From this moment on, Wang Luo Jing was recognized by the ancestors, officially transitioning from “Quasi Saintess Jing” to “Saintess Jing.”
Of course, this was not the end of the Saintess inheritance ceremony.
Next was an even more important step, the handing over of “The True Method of Gu Saint” in its entirety, and the recognition of Wang Luo Jing as the new master by the Sacred Gu, “Heavenly Silkworm.”
Only after this step was completed would Wang Luo Jing truly become the Saintess of the Barbarian Gu Clan.
From then on, her status would be unshakeable.
Then, Saintess Dai had Granny Aya fetch the altar that had been prepared in advance.
It was a pottery jar that had been used for an untold length of time, having become a glossy and darkened color, appearing very ancient.
Under the breathless and focused gaze of everyone, the former Saintess Dai first summoned the plump and white Heavenly Silkworm, then extended her slender fingers and used a specially-made thick needle to prick each of her finger tips once.
Five drops of dark, crimson blood immediately dripped into the pottery jar.
The moment these five drops of blood left her body, the former Saintess Dai’s face instantly turned exceedingly pale, and her body swayed, clearly under great strain. Granny Aya, distressed, quickly stepped forward to support her.
The former Saintess Dai then caught her breath and began to chant an incantation in the ancient language of the Sacred Gu Clan.
As the incantation began, the originally sluggish Baby Heavenly Silkworm suddenly perked up as if it had smelled something enticing. It then crawled into the pottery jar, licking the five drops of blood clean.
Moments later, it began to spin silk and form a cocoon, quickly transforming into a pale gold cocoon.
The former Saintess Dai was chanting a spell to dissolve the contract.
As the cocoon formed, the bond between her and the Heavenly Silkworm grew weaker and weaker until it finally broke completely. The former Saintess Dai’s complexion grew increasingly worse, and her whole person seemed as though drained of all vigor, looking visibly aged.
