Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 493: Chapter 484: The Great Chief 2

Although this world is too dangerous, causing many people to die early due to various reasons, and lifespans are often not as long as those on Earth, if one can live safely, the lifespans of the primitive people in this world are astonishingly long.

In this world, everyone always faces the test of life and death, including the most powerful and knowledgeable leader and Great Witch within a tribe. So, although everyone has a long lifespan, there are very few who truly live long, and most die prematurely.

When Yan Shuangshuang was carried into Yu’s stone cave by Cao, Yu was processing herbs. The witch doctor’s way of healing mainly relied on their own power, as the Heavenly God did not teach the primitives how to use herbs. All medicinal herbs used to treat illnesses were painstakingly researched by countless witch doctors, so their number and variety were limited.

We are grateful that the Heavenly God taught everyone the same language and writing, allowing knowledge in this world to spread without barriers. Otherwise, small tribes like the Power Tribe would never have mastered the use of such precious plants as herbs.

Yu is a very beautiful woman, and though she is not old, despite her vast experience, she does not appear aged at all. She wears a leopard-skin skirt, with a necklace made of giant wolf teeth hanging from her chest, and a resplendent feather crown made from bird tail feathers collected during annual molting on her head. There is an exotic wild charm about her.

Although Cao barged in, nearly shouting and unreasonable, Yu, with her good temper, was not angry. Instead, she habitually reached out to take Yan Shuangshuang from Cao’s arms, placing her palm on Yan Shuangshuang’s back, and witch power flowed like a stream of heat into Yan Shuangshuang’s body.

The feeling of the heat streaming into her body was all too familiar to Yan Shuangshuang, as she had felt it intensely between life and death countless times in her past life. She knew that Yu was using her witch power to heal her body.

In her past life, Yan Shuangshuang’s health was really poor. Every time after Yu treated her, Yan Shuangshuang only felt it was slightly easier to breathe and she no longer felt as if she was about to die, but she didn’t feel any other relief nor the comfort that people described when witch power entered their body.

But this time, her body had been replaced with a healthy one by the Goddess in the Flower Sea Space. Upon absorbing the witch power that Yu injected, she felt instantly refreshed, with the illusion of being so light she might leap to the sky!

Yan Shuangshuang, as the recipient of the witch power, felt incredibly good, while Yu, as the provider of the witch power, felt it even more clearly.

If a human body was compared to a fruit shell filled with water, then Yan Shuangshuang’s body was like a fruit shell riddled with small holes. Most of the witch power Yu injected into Yan Shuangshuang’s body would leak right out through those holes, with very little remaining that would eventually dissipate.

This often resulted in each of Yu’s healing attempts being less effective for Yan Shuangshuang, but this time, Yu distinctly felt that all witch power she sent into Yan Shuangshuang’s body was being absorbed without waste.

Yu looked down in amazement, closely observing Yan Shuangshuang, and seeing Yan Shuangshuang’s healthy and rosy complexion, Yu confirmed again that it wasn’t an illusion; Yan Shuangshuang’s body had truly changed from one filled with holes to being intact!

Only now did Yu remember what Cao had been shouting earlier when carrying Yan Shuangshuang in, ”My daughter has received the favor of the Heavenly God!” A surge of joy suddenly rose in Yu’s heart; a Divine Favored had emerged within the tribe, signifying the Power Tribe’s forthcoming prosperity!

Yu became instantly excited, her beautiful eyes locked onto Yan Shuangshuang, her voice trembling with excitement as she asked, ”Shuangshuang, you’ve been favored by the God? Tell me what happened? How did you receive the God’s favor?”

It’s no wonder Yu was so ecstatic. When there’s a Divine Favored in the tribe, once they grow strong, the tribe’s safety would be greatly enhanced by their immense power. And in this era, safety equates to population growth, and population growth means the tribe’s prosperity.

”I don’t know either. I was just dreaming while asleep, and in my dream, I saw a very tall man with a big axe on his back. The axe on his back resembled a Stone Axe, but it wasn’t made of stone—I’m not sure what it was made of, but it looked really pretty. That man came out and pointed at my forehead, and then I felt much better. I no longer felt tired or in pain, and my mind was filled with so much more, it seemed like there were many medicinal herbs to cure diseases, many things growing on the ground that could be eaten, but anyway, there were so many things that I couldn’t look through them all!”

Yan Shuangshuang deliberately spoke with a mature yet somewhat childlike tone, appearing like an adult yet still retaining a touch of childish innocence. This seemed to align well with the state of a child being favored by the Heavenly God, having increased wisdom while still possessing a child’s nature.

Upon hearing Yan Shuangshuang’s words, Yu wasn’t at all surprised by Yan Shuangshuang’s tone, nor did she doubt Yan Shuangshuang. Rather, she was so excited that she lifted Yan Shuangshuang high up and spun her around several times, then reverently knelt on the ground to begin worshiping the sky.

As she knelt, she murmured repeatedly, ”Thank the God for favoring the Power Tribe, allowing the tribe to emerge from difficulty with newfound strength!”

At this time, although the concept of family was not significant, the idea of the tribe was heavily emphasized. Everyone in the tribe was a companion, so Yan Shuangshuang being blessed by the God was equivalent to the entire Power Tribe being blessed by the God.

Because, as a member of the Power Tribe, when Yan Shuangshuang grew stronger, she certainly wouldn’t ignore the Power Tribe, so wasn’t this essentially the God favoring the entire Power Tribe? This logic was completely sound.

Seeing Yu not only believing her words but also valuing them so much, Yan Shuangshuang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Though she had anticipated that the primitives of this time had straightforward thoughts, attributing everything to the God, she was somewhat worried that the Witch, akin to a Wise Man, would not accept it.

Fortunately, although Yu was a Witch, her reverence towards the God had penetrated to her core, and she had no doubt about Yan Shuangshuang’s words.

Actually, the most important reason why Yan Shuangshuang was so anxious and insisted on immediately elevating her position in the tribe was her internal unease.

Although reborn, Yan Shuangshuang was constantly worried that her rebirth would cause the dangers of this world to reach the Power Tribe sooner, putting her parents in peril earlier. Therefore, Yan Shuangshuang was determined to make the tribe prosper as soon as possible, strong enough to protect itself against formidable foes.

Initially, Yan Shuangshuang had no idea how to achieve this, as in her past life, she was frail and sickly, the farthest she ventured was to bask in the sun on the flat ground outside the cave, counting the row of suns in the sky.
