Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1223 - 674: Blue Bear Totem Spirit_2

The people there have a love-hate relationship with them.

They love their barbaric and plundering way of life, which endows them with aggression. They take the initiative to wage war against the monsters of the wilderness, seizing wealth and supplies from them. They play a crucial role in suppressing the recklessly proliferating Monster Tribes of the Eternal Wasteland, preventing them from harassing the coasts of Sword Bay and blocking the paths they could take to raid Waterdeep City.

They hate it when those Monster Tribes are severely suppressed and can’t plunder much for sustenance, turning their sights on villages that are likewise human, leading to conflicts as numerous as hairs on an ox.

The most fortunate thing is that although the Uthgar Barbarians are of the same origin, due to their faith in different Totem Spirits, they are not unified and belong to more than a dozen splintered tribes. There are many contradictions and hostilities among them, and it is common for them to wage war against each other. Coupled with the conscious control exerted by the Lord Alliance and the Silvermoon Alliance, the Uthgar Barbarians have never been able to unleash a calamity that affects the entire Northern Lands.

If Gaven wants to continue developing near Anfield Village, he will inevitably have to deal with the Uthgar Barbarians in the future.

Just didn’t expect to come into contact with their Totem Spirit first on the Komeer side. Having this in hand can give one the upper hand in future interactions since this race is very xenophobic, let alone Half-Elves, even other Humans striving to hold a dominant position within their ranks is nearly an impossible feat.

Or rather, Gaven can use this as a point of intervention. Although the Usga People worship their ancestral god Uthgar, the Totem Spirit revered by each tribe is key to maintaining that tribe’s rule. Once the Blue Bear Tribe loses their Totem Spirit, the original faith will inevitably suffer a fatal blow—this is directly related to their abilities, and those Beast Worship Sect Shamans will lose the related powers, resulting in the tribe’s loss of strength.

This is not just the predicament they must face, but all priests of Fallen Gods as well, such as those of the Tyrant God Bane. If they still worship him now, they will lose all their Priest Casting Abilities (while retaining their Professional Level), because their casting does not originate from themselves, but a gift from their own deity. If they wish to regain casting abilities, they must either find a way to resurrect their deity or convert to another deity’s fold. As long as they gain approval from that deity, they don’t even need trial tasks; simply offer prayers, and they will instantly obtain casting abilities matching their original Professional Level, especially when a particular deity proclaims to take over the corresponding divine position, this transition of faith will be smooth and rational.

Compared to holding onto their original beliefs, there will be more people choosing a new path, after all, Mortals are a very pragmatic intelligent species, including those priests. But this also highlights the value of those who can maintain their believers; to call them devout believers is an understatement—they are uncompromising fanatics.

This kind of faith transition can’t happen too often; once labeled as fickle, they won’t be welcomed by most deities, except for a few Evil Deities, and this path is likely to be cut short.

All in all, even if the Blue Bear Tribe isn’t on the brink of disintegration, they have already reached this edge.

And this will be Gaven’s opportunity. He doesn’t fear difficulties or turmoil; he fears only peace, prosperity, and tranquility because then he will lose many chances to manipulate situations. Although peaceful development is possible, what can compare to the excessive profits of war?

He, operating in Rocklands and Three Rivers Region, mining and managing Ghost Grape Wine—a monopolistic product—has worked hard for nearly half a year, but hasn’t produced even one-tenth of the value created by the Conqueror Army marching from Darama to City of Faith.

However, the specific situation still depends on what he can plunder from this incarnation of the Beast Totem Spirit, Magla. After all, this is his first foray into such things, and without definite results, it is impossible to make hasty assertions; even planned strategies may go awry.

With the improvement of Gaven’s strength, the power of some abilities has also increased, including Destroy Evil.

The first time he destroyed the severed hand of the Undying Goddess of Vengeance, he relied on the strength of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Shadow Power.

To destroy the twisted and corrupt idol extracted from the body of the Corpse Spider Elf, he had Five-Willow as a support force behind him.

Refining the Divine Nature Incarnation of The Plunderer Kallargos, it wasn’t even him who took action; it was Lady Strategy leveraging his Destroy Evil.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has truly, on his own, destroyed and refined something related to True Gods, and surprisingly, without too much pressure, the speed was also unexpectedly fast.

Before long, the blood and soul extracted from the body of the Bear of Plunder were drained and condensed into a massive sphere of blood-red light.

Just as Gaven was scratching his head, contemplating how to make the most of this sphere, his Soul Consciousness suddenly surged, and a vast force swept out from it, directly engulfing the sphere of blood-red light.

Feeling the familiar aura emanating from this force, Gaven did not stop it; instead, he was overjoyed.
