Chapter 160 - Previous Life and Present Life (1/2)

In fact, there were some people who didn’t believe that Zhou Ji was the Beast God even now.

At least, the high level Beast Warriors who had been protecting the High Priest were reluctant to believe it.

They had followed the High Priest’s orders and caught Zhou Ji. Yet as a result, the High Priest was now kneeling on the ground and addressing Zhou Ji as the Beast God?

Then, what had they done earlier?

However, even if they didn’t believe it, what could they do?

Zhou Ji was so powerful, and they couldn’t beat him!

Since that was the case… they would just believe that he was the Beast God!

“Beast God, please forgive us for our offense…” A large group of people ended up kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Ji simply accepted this matter as truth and proceeded from there, “Greedy people need to be punished, but the Beast God will not punish the innocent.”

As for how exactly to deal with these people… he would clarify the specifics of the situation first and then talk about it later.

The question now was… how were those Beast Kings doing? He didn’t know if they were dead, or…

“Merciful Beast God, I repent, I am your faithful servant, willing to kneel at your feet and kiss your toes…” The High Priest continued.

Zhou Ji: “……” Toe kissing was unnecessary.

Zhou Ji paid the High Priest no attention and instead looked over at the high level Beast Warriors. “Bring those Beast Kings over here.”

The high level Beast Warriors of the Beast God Temple went over to ‘bring back’ those Beast Kings as soon as Zhou Ji’s words came out.

At this time, the Rhinoceros Beast King and Hai Feng had just returned with Zhou Ji’s and Xiong Ye’s clothing.

Previously, Zhou Ji hadn’t liked to do things himself or show off his strength because he was worried about getting into trouble.

But now… he had already caused such big trouble and even beaten up the Beast Kings. What was there to be scared of?

The plants on the ground suddenly shot up crazily, blocking Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji from view so that the people around them could no longer see them. After the plants blocked the view, Zhou Ji directly changed back into his human form.

Xiong Ye was still in a daze and sat there staring blankly around. Such a big bear sitting there in a stupor looked a bit silly.

Xiong Ye’s brain was a little chaotic at the moment.

How had Zhou Ji become the Beast God?

At the beginning, Zhou Ji had suddenly become the Beast God’s messenger, and he’d been able to accept that just fine. Zhou Ji was so amazing, and he felt that it was normal for Zhou Ji to be the Beast God’s messenger.

Later, when Zhou Ji became a Beast King, he’d also been able to accept it. As the Beast God’s messenger, why couldn’t he become a Beast King?

But now, Zhou Ji had actually become the Beast God.

The huge brown bear had no thoughts left in his head at this time, and his entire person felt hollowed out.

He’d grown up listening to legends about the Beast God and had always worshipped the Beast God. Now… the Beast God was his mate?

He slept with the Beast God every day?

Not long ago, he was even stroking the Beast God!

“Xiong Ye.” Zhou Ji called out to him. Seeing Xiong Ye’s appearance, he could basically guess what Xiong Ye was thinking.

Obviously, Xiong Ye had received a shock because of his identity. In fact, he was also shocked…

“Hm?” Xiong Ye made a sound to show he’d heard.

Zhou Ji prompted, “Change back.”

Xiong Ye subconsciously changed back into human form when he heard Zhou Ji’s words, and then he was hugged and kissed by Zhou Ji.

Xiong Ye thought that he would explode from awkwardness. There were so many people outside, but the person holding him now was the Beast God!

How come he felt like… there was something wrong with that?

“Focus.” Zhou Ji kissed him again.

This kiss was deeper, leaving Xiong Ye no room to think.

When the kiss finally ended, Zhou Ji wanted to make out with Xiong Ye again, but it was obviously not the right time…

When he let go of Xiong Ye, Zhou Ji said, “No matter who I am, I’m still your mate.”

Xiong Ye had originally still been a little uneasy. Now that he heard Zhou Ji say that, he slowly calmed down.

Then, he realized that they were both naked, and there was a large group of people waiting outside.

His face was a little hot, and he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet. Xiong Ye turned around and hurriedly began to dress.

Zhou Ji couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this.

Zhou Ji had originally made himself a vest and shorts, but they had been torn apart when he turned into his animal form. Now, he could only put on the robe that he’d had the foresight to take off beforehand.

As for Xiong Ye… Xiong Ye had originally worn an animal hide skirt beneath his robe. Now, his robe was wrecked, but the animal hide skirt was still intact, so he simply wore his animal hide skirt.

The two of them tidied up their clothing before stepping out of the ‘grass hollow’.

There were still a large number of people kneeling outside. Zhou Ji had already calmed down, but Xiong Ye hadn’t gotten used it yet.

Zhou Ji held Xiong Ye’s hand.

Xiong Ye felt a lot more relaxed once Zhou Ji held his hand.

Regardless of whether Zhou Ji was a Beast God or not, he had nothing to fear as long as Zhou Ji didn’t let him go.

Xiong Ye stood up straight and glanced around, having regained some of his presence.

By the time the two of them stepped out, the Beast Kings had already been brought back.

Out of the six Beast Kings, two had died, and the other four were all unconscious. The crystal cores in their bodies had cracked, and there were also severe injuries on their bodies. They weren’t far from death.

To be fair, these Beast Kings weren’t guilty enough to deserve death, and Zhou Ji could understand their choice. However, when they’d stood on opposing sides and these people had wanted to kill him, he couldn’t just choose not to fight back…

The High Priest saw how miserable these Beast Kings were and trembled all over. He didn’t dare to move from where he was on his knees on the ground.

Although several of them were still alive, it was clear that they wouldn’t be able to live based on their current situation… Six Beast Kings would all end up dying at this rate, and they had no ability to resist Zhou Ji.

The High Priest was afraid, but the old priest had already become a fanatical Beast God follower, “Lord Beast God, these people actually tried to hurt you and must be broken into countless pieces!”

The people of the tribes that had Beast Kings were all full of despair when they heard the old priest’s words, but Zhou Ji said, “That’s not necessary.”

After Zhou Ji finished speaking, he roughly helped the four people who were still alive with some brief healing, then ordered, “Settle them somewhere, and have them come find me when they’re better.”

After seeing how the four Beast King’s breathing had stabilized after Zhou Ji had simply touched them, no matter whether it was people of the Beast God Temple or ordinary beastmen of the various tribes, nobody could doubt Zhou Ji’s identity any more.

Zhou Ji could heal people who were on the brink of death so casually… this was absolutely something that only the Beast God could do!

Zhou Ji… really was the Beast God!

“Oh, right, find me a place to rest.” Zhou Ji then said. He didn’t want to stay in this place the whole time!

As soon as Zhou Ji’s voice fell, the High Priest and the old priest both vied to invite Zhou Ji back to the Beast God Temple. Zhou Ji didn’t refuse and followed them back to the Beast God Temple.

The best house in the Beast God Temple was the place that was dedicated to housing the Beast God statue for worship. The High Priest and old priest both invited Zhou Ji to stay there.

This was really the best house Zhou Ji had seen in this era.

The entire house was made of stone. The ground was paved with stone, and the structure looked very sturdy. The only thing was that the statue of the Beast God in the middle was nothing but a rough human shape and looked particularly ugly.

After glancing at this Beast God statue, Zhou Ji suddenly turned and asked, “How did you know that I’m the Beast God?”

The High Priest didn’t speak, but the old priest rushed to tell him of the legend.

Zhou Ji: “……”

Zhou Ji felt that some of these so-called legends regarding the Beast God were probably based on some facts, like the detail that the Beast God’s animal form could change size at will.

There may have been someone like him in the history of beastmen, a powerhouse whose crystal core had become black. A powerhouse like that would certainly be able to change their animal form to become bigger and smaller.

Perhaps, that powerhouse who had long been forgotten in history was the basis for the stories regarding the Beast God.

As for how plants would bloom and so on when the Beast God appeared… this kind of myth was generally used to make the Beast God seem more beautiful and should have been made up casually.

“The legends don’t tell you what my animal form is?” Zhou Ji asked.

“Beast God up above, the legends don’t say.” The old priest replied. “Of course, you would definitely be different from others.”
