Chapter 264 - The young elder

Translated by Lesyt Team

After the third Flame disappeared, the ritual ceremony should normally be over, but it was different tonight.

Even the new warriors that had just awakened did not have time to rejoice about their new life when the giant appeared. Although the giant had already disappeared from the fire pit when the flames retreated, they remained astonished.

Besides the appearance, the giant even made them feel like wors.h.i.+pping it.

The Shaman sighed deeply, looked at Ao in his eyes, and then both looked towards Shao Xuan.

The eyes of the Shaman and the chief were filled with joy.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Ao shouted in a deep voice on the venue to attract the attention of all the people who were still immersed in that feeling.

“I am the chief of the Flaming Horns tribe, called Ao. In accordance with the will of the ancestors, I accept ‘Xuan’ as an ‘elder’!” Ao said solemnly.

After the chief, the Shaman also said: “I am the shaman of the Flaming Horns tribe. In accordance with the will of the ancestors, I accept ‘Xuan’ as an ‘elder’!”

All the people hadn’t become focused yet. Hearing the chief’s and the Shaman’s words, they were suddenly stunned.

An elder? Shao Xuan?

They had heard that in other tribes there were elders, but those were the elites who had made countless contributions to the tribes and were strong and powerful. Most of them had competed to be the chief. In some tribes, after retiring, the chiefs would become the elders. However, they had never heard of such a young elder!

The original members of the Flaming Horns tribe’s only understanding of elders was from that person that was cremated back then, who used to be an elder. Since the Shaman and the chief had announced it and they said they did so “in accordance with the will of the ancestors”, no one could disagree with the ancestors, right? Who dared to do that? Whomever dared to do that would suffer a lot.

Shao Xuan handed the bone ornament to the Shaman and an official t.i.tle-awarding ceremony was held. From now on, Shao Xuan was an elder of the Flaming Horns tribe, only below the Shaman and the chief.

The Shaman was holding the s.h.i.+ning bone ornament. He was so excited that his hands were trembling. He could feel the familiar bone ornament contain the power of the first Shaman, the most powerful Shaman! Meanwhile, he had consumed some energy in the ritual ceremony, but the amount of his energy was rapidly increasing.

In the crowd, Old Ke flushed from his emotions, and in his hollow eyes, tears were flowing. Unexpectedly, the child who had starved in the hole grew up and became an elder with such a high status today.

The original members of the Flaming Horns tribe thought that in the whole tribe only the Shaman and the chief had the absolute authority. Ta and Gui He, the two team leaders, could not make everyone follow their words. But now, it seemed that another ent.i.ty also had the absolute authority. According to the Shaman and chief, an elder had a higher status than the team leaders. When the Shaman and the chief made major decisions, the elder could partic.i.p.ate in the discussion and even oppose the ideas.

Afterthe t.i.tle-awarding ceremony, the ritual ceremony finally ended.

The new totem warriors were asked to go to a place to wait for the Shaman, who would give them lessons. The others would go back together. From now on, they were not wanderers, but members of the Flaming Horns tribe!

This time, there were less than two thousand people who awakened, including the children who were old enough to awaken and the wanderers who came back. They were still counting the exact number. This was what Shao Xuan had expected.

Shao Xuan had Old Ke and Caesar go back first, for the chief looked for him to ask him something about the bone ornament.
