Chapter 1738: Public Opinion Matters.

Chapter 1738: Public Opinion Matters.

Legion followed after her to make sure everything went well. Despite how nonchalant they appear to be about the mission they gave her, they have a lot riding on being able to create a temple and how it is created.

A shrine is a personal dedication to a god. It is a symbol of the devotion of a single person or group to a god. Every local god gets one, be they evil or kind gods. But a temple signifies public recognition. Only righteous gods can have a temple.

A temple is oftentimes viewed as a public place of worship, but it is more significant than that. A temple implies that the believers of a god can come together to worship in public and don't have to hide. It means that the god is accepted as orthodox by the public. So a public temple is the divide between a religion and a cult.

It doesn't matter if the god is evil or kind; as long as they are publicly accepted, their religion becomes righteous, and if they are not accepted, they become a cult. So the morality of the god doesn't matter in establishing a religion. Public acceptance is the most important for it. The best way to get that orthodoxy is to have the recommendation of those in power or representatives of the people. Hence why the Shaman is going to see the tribal chief.

A lot is hanging on the chief's word. Whatever he says will determine if the second step of the main quest will be easy for Legion or will be difficult.

But they are not worried too much. They are gods, and these people are mortals. They have too many means at hand to fail. It might be difficult, but they are confident that they will eventually succeed.

Legion-4 sneered and said, "This is why gods are so pitiful. They have to rely on the opinion and acceptance of mortals. They can lose most of their strength if they are neglected by mortals. What a pitiful existence."

Legion-9 added, "Fortunately, mortals are stupid and easy to fool. In fact, they want to rely on someone powerful to care for them. So the gods are filling a demand not creating one."

Legion-1 shook his head and said, "Weakness is a sin."

"Agreed," said the rest.

They bypassed houses made of wood and stones along the way to the chief. The orcs had just woken up and were going about their day, so the streets were busy. But everyone made way for the Shaman and her acolyte. They also couldn't help but take second glances at her when they saw how full of energy and spry she was.

Some began to follow her when they noticed where she was matching to. The encampment of the tribe chief is the biggest compound in the village, so it was clear to everyone where she was going. They wanted to see what this was about, so they followed her.

Legion followed calmly behind their oracle. Meanwhile, their angel acted like a guide to them. It was explaining the culture and tradition of the orcs. It also spoke at length about the buildings.

"Orcs didn't use to build houses with stones and wood. They used to use wood and hide. And they built tents instead of square and rigid buildings. That changed during the first advent of the gods."

"At that time, all the races in God's Domain were called together to follow their respective gods. The orcs built the War Orc Empire at the behest of their god. It led to their civilization, most of which have been lost to time since the fall of the War Orc Empire. Now the orcs are mostly scattered along the edges of the northern realm, but traces of civilization can be seen here and there."

The angel went on and on as they walked. Legion didn't interrupt it because what she said was informative. As immortals who have schemed against others and have been fooled by schemes, they know that knowledge is power. So they are welcome to every piece of knowledge they can get about this strange world.

They also found it intriguing that this world has such a long history. They know that God's Domain should be around 10,000 years and deserves such a long history, but they thought it was a world built for Origin gods to acquire the Authority of the void universe.

However, what they are hearing about it implies a world that has existed before Origin gods and will exist without them. From what they have heard, they are not the first wave of god seeds to appear in this world. So they very much want to learn more about God's Domain.

They finally reached the encampment of the tribal chief. There were two guards in front of the gates, but the Shaman practically barged in. The guards were stronger than her, but they respected her too much to force her to stop for an inspection.

The Shaman and her entourage of curious orcs gained entry into the large encampment. Unfortunately, not everyone could get in, so some had to climb the walls and use them for leverage.

The chief was at home. He was in front of his house having a meeting with 12 other orcs. Legion noticed that half of his body was green. This shouldn't be so since he is a yellow- skinned orc.

A quick use of insight explained the cause of the odd coloration.

The chief is very powerful, but he has been poisoned. That's why part of his yellow skin is green. They can notice the signs of his imminent death too. His black eyes are reddening, and his breathing is labored and shallow.

Apparently this wasn't news to Warshaw. She didn't appear to be surprised by it. No one was.
