Chapter 45: Unexpected Gain, Fox Clan Integration!

Clearly, these totem poles were the repositories of the Black Fox Tribe's faith energy.

Ordinary people could not sense this faith energy at all.

If an ordinary person happened to see those totem poles, they would merely feel an inexplicable sense of holiness about them.

Only those who had reached the Sacred Domain or higher could perceive the faith energy.

Lin Yan could sense it, thanks solely to his Virtual Divine Core.

"Can I steal the faith energy of other gods?"

Lin Yan wondered.

The Virtual Divine Core gave no response.

Lin Yan directly unleashed his flames and set the totem poles ablaze.

The wood used for these totem poles was extremely dense.

Although they carried faith energy, they did not burn any harder than ordinary wood.

With Lin Yan's flame temperature, he didn't even need to max it out to ignite them easily.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yan saw something that was neither energy, nor matter, nor any element being absorbed by the Virtual Divine Core.

The faith energy value on the Virtual Divine Core increased rapidly.

In a short time, the faith energy rose from several hundred thousand to over a million.

And it continued to rise quickly.

Finally, all the totem poles were completely burned to ash.

The faith energy within Lin Yan's Virtual Divine Core had become over one and a half million!

"You destroyed one totem pole and gained 200 evolution points."

From the four totem poles, Lin Yan had gained a total of 800 evolution points!

This was an unexpected gain.

Additionally, Lin Yan obtained a full ten million energy points from each totem pole.

This was also an unexpected gain!

"A Black Fox Tribe of tens of thousands gathered only 1.2 million faith energy over several months? But the Black Fox Tribe's faith energy was directed toward that dark evil god—now stolen by my Virtual Divine Core, there must be some loss, right?"

Lin Yan muttered to himself.

There was definitely some loss.

Lin Yan felt the lost faith energy hadn't been wasted—otherwise, how had he gained 800 evolution points and forty million energy points?

He vaguely sensed that although the Virtual Divine Core was inferior to a true Divine Core in many ways,

in certain functions, it was far more practical than a true Divine Core.

Once the flames had consumed the totem poles, there was nothing else of value here for Lin Yan.

"Do all the beast tribes have totem poles?"

Lin Yan muttered.

This was a shortcut to collecting evolution points, faith energy, and energy points.

Lin Yan planned to deal with the Fox Clan's affairs first, then pursue this.

Lin Yan returned through the Faith Thread to the shrine in the White Fox Tribe on the wasteland's edge.

Now, in the White Fox Tribe's shrine, besides the holy maiden Qing Ling, there were twelve attendants.

These twelve attendants were all exceptionally beautiful and very young fox maidens of the White Fox Clan.

The twelve attendants took turns praying, ensuring someone was praying in the shrine at all times.

Through this method, Lin Yan could open the Faith Thread anytime and come and go as he pleased.

In the following days, all the fox tribes underwent a massive migration.

They moved en masse from their original territories to the Sacred Wasteland.

Sister Qing Ling, following Lin Yan's revelations, allocated new lands to each of these fox tribes.

Excluding the Black Fox Tribe and the White Gray Fox Tribe, there were a total of fifteen other fox tribes.

These fifteen tribes ranged from two or three thousand to over ten thousand people each.

Combined, they totaled seventy to eighty thousand people.

The Sacred Wasteland became lively for the first time.

The entire Fox Clan began a grand integration.

All former tribal chieftains were demoted to elders.

The Fox Clan now had only one chieftain: Qing Ling's mother.

Qing Ling had only a mother; she had no father, not even the faintest memory of him, nor had she ever heard of him.

Qing Ling's mother became the sole chieftain of the Fox Clan.

Then, under Qing Ling's mother's leadership, the Sacred Wasteland began large-scale reclamation.

The construction of the City of Miracles, already underway at the wasteland's edge, accelerated further.

This city strictly followed the "Lord of Flames"' revelations, and in design concept, far surpassed many human cities.
