Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Chapter 2: How Did I Become a Priest?



In the crude square, the flame in the stone brazier surged, forming a flame several meters high. The flame danced, casting its light on the faces of every tribesperson.

Expressions of surprise, disbelief, and excitement flickered across the faces of the tribespeople, and cheers erupted suddenly.

But compared to the others, Priest Sovita, with his old age, was even more shaken.

He vaguely remembered that when he inherited the priesthood, the flame he ignited in the stone brazier was only a few inches high. However, the former priest praised him and said he would lead the tribe to prosperity.

And indeed, it happened.

The once weak Crimson Star Tribe, under his leadership, had become not the strongest, but one of the most renowned tribes in the vicinity. They had produced not just twelve tribal warriors, but the tribe's population had grown to over two hundred, and they even established their own ceremonial square.

Yet now, the flame was several meters high, surpassing the height of the pillars in the ceremonial square.

This was a miracle!

Sovita was excited beyond words. Leaning on his bone scepter, he approached and asked eagerly, "Child, what is your name?"

Enzo replied truthfully, "Enzo."

Sovita nodded.

He gestured for Tia to step back, then lifted Enzo's hand high and solemnly announced to all the tribespeople, "From this day forward, Enzo will be the priest of the Crimson Star Tribe. He will lead the Crimson Star Tribe to prosperity! Lead the tribe's warriors to victory over all enemies! Lead the tribe to become the most powerful totem tribe!"

"Totem tribe!"

"Totem tribe!"

All the tribespeople cheered.

Totem tribe, what was that?

Amidst the cheers, Enzo was the only one looking bewildered.

First, he was forced by Tiana, although he came from behind and took the initiative... Now, he has been announced as the new priest by Priest Sovita, instantly becoming the leader of the entire tribe. Isn't this a bit hasty?

However, no one thought it was hasty.

Although Enzo was a refugee brought back from the jungle by Tia, his ability to ignite the flame in the stone brazier indicated that he had gained the tacit approval of the tribe's will.

Becoming a priest was only natural.

At this moment, Priest Sovita lowered Enzo's hand and smiled, saying, "Enzo, I know you must have many questions right now. I was the same when I became a priest. Relax, becoming a priest is not a bad thing. Moreover, with your talent being so strong, you will undoubtedly become the strongest after becoming a priest."

Sovita had great confidence in Enzo.

However, inheriting the priesthood was evidently not a simple matter; there were many preparations needed.

Once Sovita confirmed Enzo as the next priest of the Crimson Star Tribe, he visibly relaxed. He removed the fierce beast tooth necklace he was wearing and used the largest tooth to roast briefly in the flame of the stone brazier. Then, he drew a peculiar symbol on Enzo's forehead and said

"This is the mark of the priest of the Crimson Star Tribe. When you can sense this mark and manipulate the flame in the stone brazier by yourself, then you can proceed to the next stage of priestly inheritance and knowledge impartation."

Enzo muttered, "Sense the mark, manipulate the flame..."

As Sovita drew the strange symbol on Enzo's forehead, Enzo had already sensed the mark and was even able to easily manipulate it. He flicked his fingers, and the flame in the stone brazier began to fluctuate in size.

It was quite fascinating.

Enzo became interested and pointed at the stone brazier, asking Sovita, "Is it like this, Priest?"

Sovita fell into silence...

After about fifteen seconds, he finally snapped out of it and exclaimed, "Enzo, you are a genius!"

Then, feeling somewhat embarrassed, he cleared his throat and said with a slightly awkward expression, "You can already freely manipulate the flame in the stone brazier. In theory, you can start receiving the priestly inheritance knowledge. However, you are not yet familiar with the tribe, and I also need some time to prepare. So..."

Sovita paused, then instructed Tia, "Tia, lead Enzo to tour the tribe and explain the current situation of the tribe. Three days later, we will proceed with the priestly inheritance."

Tia hurriedly responded, "Yes, Priest."

After completing all this, the old Sovita finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Enzo had sensed the mark in less than a minute after it was drawn, which was far quicker than Sovita had anticipated.

It was a terrifying talent!

This put a lot of pressure on Sovita. Back in his time, it took him six days to sense the mark, and even then, the former priest was ecstatic. But what about Enzo?

Sovita let out a sigh and dismissed the tribespeople who had gathered for the Ceremony of the Chosen Ones.

Tia also led Enzo away. However, Tia now seemed completely different from her wild and unruly demeanor at the beginning. She now resembled a clingy little kitten, her tone soft and submissive as she respectfully asked, "Enzo... Priest, what would you like to know?"

Enzo was quite uncomfortable with Tia's awkward tone.

Upon hearing Enzo's words, he stopped and looked at Tia, saying, "Tia, can you please go back to how you were? I actually prefer your wild nature. It's that side of you that gives me a sense of conquest."

Tia's face flushed red, and she tentatively responded, "E-Enzo?"

Enzo frowned slightly, "Hmm?"

Receiving a response, Tia's pretended coyness disappeared, and she became excited instantly. She kept saying, "Enzo, that's great! You've become the new priest of the tribe! When the priest announced that no one passed the Ceremony of the Chosen Ones just now, I was really scared. I thought the tribe was going to be finished."

Alright, actually, it's fine not to be so lively.

Being overly lively can also be a form of torment.

However, feeling Tia's soft chest rubbing against his arm, especially with the special fragrance emanating from her, gave him a sense of excitement.

So, the two returned to Tia's dwelling in the cave to continue what had been interrupted before.

Not only that, with his status as a priest, Tia was completely submissive to him, allowing Enzo to enjoy the pleasures of different positions.

At the same time, he also noticed that his physical abilities seemed to have improved significantly. This seemed to be due to the mark of the Crimson Star Tribe Priest left by Sovita on his forehead.

This symbol of the Crimson Star Priest could slowly enhance physical abilities!

It seemed that this was no ordinary primitive tribe.

With Tia, who was exhausted from their activities, in his arms, Enzo inquired about the current situation of the Crimson Star Tribe.

Tia roughly replied, "I don't know how long the tribe has existed, but it's definitely been a very long time, maybe even longer than the Venom Tribe... In the tribe, there are now twelve tribal warriors. Even though I am quite strong myself, capable of killing large boars in the jungle alone, the tribal fire is still insufficient."

Listening, Enzo curiously asked, "The Venom Tribe... and what is the tribal fire?"

Tia nuzzled against Enzo and found the most comfortable way to lie down before answering, "The Venom Tribe is a tribe in the swamp to the south of the Crimson Star Tribe. They like to use poison and don't allow others to enter the swamp. I was tracking a horned snake before, almost killed it, but then it ran into the swamp and was taken away by people from the Venom Tribe."

Speaking of this, Tia was very angry.

She continued, "The tribal fire is the flame in the stone basin."

As Tia spoke, Enzo gained a more detailed understanding of the current world.

...

Indeed, this was an extremely primitive world.

There were no cellphones, no computers, not even slightly advanced machinery. Even bronze and iron tools were extremely rare, only appearing in the most powerful tribes.

This world could be said to be in the Stone Age.

However, there were magical divine arts and the rumored power of totems.

Each tribe's priest wielded different divine arts , be it healing, divination, or other strange abilities. They could also bless with the tribal fire, giving birth to tribal warriors.

When a tribe became powerful enough and possessed its own totem, even more powerful totem warriors could be born.

All of this made Enzo extremely curious.

Fortunately, three days later, I'll be able to receive the priestly inheritance and catch a glimpse of the mysterious world.

After asking these questions, Enzo asked again, "Tia, you found me in the jungle, did you find anything else around me?"

Tia thought for a moment, looked up, and asked, "Anything else, you mean... a black bag?"
