41: Chapter 41 Rewarding Merit! The New Order of the Dragon God Tribe!

"Chief, what... what should we do now?"

Lin Waner's voice, carrying a hint of trembling and confusion, broke the dead silence brought about by the extreme shock.

Her question also voiced the inner thoughts of all the girls present.

Their home was destroyed, and everything awaited reconstruction.

Although their "God" had displayed power enough to crush everything, giving them an unparalleled sense of security.

But what came next?

Where did the road lead?

Qin Yu slowly turned around, his deep eyes scanning everyone present.

That punch just now wasn't just to test his strength.

It was even more so to establish his authority!

It was a display of absolute power—more direct and soul-stirring than the execution of traitors or the slaughter of the giant python!

He wanted everyone to understand a truth from the depths of their souls.

He, Qin Yu, was the only god in this world!

His words were divine oracles!

His will was the heavenly mandate!

Looking at those faces that had become incredibly submissive due to fear and worship, Qin Yu knew the time had come.

"What to do?"

The corners of Qin Yu's mouth curled into a cold arc.

"From today onwards, the Dragon God Tribe will establish a new order!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty, exploding in everyone's ears like a clap of thunder.

"A Tribe cannot be a heap of loose sand!"

"If you want to survive, if you want to live better, you must have rules, ranks, rewards, and punishments!"

"Now, we shall bestow rewards for merit!"

Qin Yu's gaze first fell on a girl not far away, supported by several other girls; her face was as pale as paper, yet she still stood stubbornly.

It was Chen Xiao!

The Amazon Valkyrie who had burned herself to create three seconds of life for him!

After a night of treatment from Lin Waner and nourishment from the life aura of the wilderness totem, her body, which had almost been flattened into meat pulp, had miraculously survived.

Though she was still extremely weak, her eyes remained as bright as stars.

When she saw Qin Yu's gaze turn toward her, her body trembled slightly, and a flash of excitement and... shyness appeared in her eyes.

Qin Yu walked toward her step by step.

The girls around them automatically made way for their king.

"Chen Xiao."

Qin Yu's voice regained a hint of warmth.

"Yes! Chief!"

Chen Xiao instinctively tried to straighten her body to give a standard military salute, but it pulled at her wounds, making her gasp in pain.

"Don't move."

Qin Yu reached out and pressed down on her shoulder, transferring a gentle power into her.

"In yesterday's battle, your contribution was paramount!"

"Without you, the Dragon God Tribe would not have today!"

"Everyone has seen your loyalty and courage!"

Qin Yu's voice suddenly rose!

"I hereby announce!"

"From this day forth, the Dragon God Tribe Guard is established! It shall be responsible for all external warfare and internal patrols of the Tribe!"

"Chen Xiao!"

"Present!"

Chen Xiao looked up abruptly, her eyes already filled with tears.

"I appoint you as the first and only Captain of the Dragon God Tribe Guard!"

"You shall command all combat personnel of the Tribe and report directly to me!"

"This heart of the warrior is yours!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he took something out from his robe.

It was a blood-colored crystal that had dropped from the Elite Saber-toothed Tiger, still pulsing slightly like a heart!

[heart of the warrior (Special Item): The wearer gains Strength +10, Constitution +10, and the passive skill 'Indomitable' (Combat power increases as injuries worsen)!]

This was something he had specifically set aside without absorbing when he was taking stock of the loot last night.

He knew who this item suited best!

Under the gazes of everyone, who were driven mad with envy, Qin Yu personally hung the heart of the warrior around Chen Xiao's neck.

As soon as the blood-colored crystal touched Chen Xiao's skin, it immediately turned into a red light and merged into her body!

A visible, majestic wave of blood-colored energy erupted from Chen Xiao's body!

Her originally paper-pale face instantly became flushed with color!

Her weak aura began to climb steadily at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Those broken bones were healing rapidly at an incredible speed!

"My... my power..."

Chen Xiao looked at her hands in disbelief.

She felt that not only had her injuries healed, but she was even several times stronger than before she was wounded!

"Thank... thank you for the Chief's blessing!"

Chen Xiao could no longer suppress her inner excitement; her knees buckled as she prepared to kneel.

However, she was caught by Qin Yu.

"Remember, you are the Guard Captain of my Dragon God Tribe."

"Your knees shall not kneel to anyone except for me!"

"Yes!"

Chen Xiao's face was covered in tears as she nodded heavily.

After finishing the appointment of Chen Xiao, Qin Yu's gaze turned toward Lin Waner.

Lin Waner's heart skipped a beat, her pretty face flushed slightly, both expectant and nervous.

"Lin Waner!"

"Present! Chief!"

"As the only Healer in the Tribe, you saved the dying and healed the wounded during this defense battle; your contribution is indispensable!"

"I announce that from today, the Dragon God Tribe Logistics Department is established! It shall be responsible for the Tribe's resource collection, material distribution, treatment of the wounded, and all internal affairs!"

"I appoint you as the first Chief Steward of Internal Affairs of the Logistics Department!"

"This Ode to Life belongs to you!"

Qin Yu took out another item.

It was a skill book woven from the leaves of some kind of plant, emitting a soft green light!

[Ode to Life (Rare Skill Book): Upon use, grants mastery of the large-scale divine healing spell 'Ode to Life', plus a permanent +5 to Spirit and +10% to healing effectiveness!]

This was also one of the rewards from the S-rank evaluation!

"Ah!"

Lin Waner let out a cry of surprise and quickly covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy!

A large-scale divine healing spell!

This was exactly what she had dreamed of!

With this, she could better share the Chief's burdens!

"Thank you, Chief!"

Lin Waner was so excited she could barely speak.

Finally, Qin Yu's gaze landed on the figure who had been silently standing behind him ever since he walked out of the tent.

Su Qingyao.

Her complexion was much better today; her exquisite face carried a hint of the shyness and satisfaction of a newlywed, making her entire being radiate a breathtaking beauty.

Seeing Qin Yu look over, she only smiled slightly—a smile that seemed to make a hundred flowers pale in comparison.

"Su Qingyao."

Qin Yu's voice became gentle once again.

"As the Holy Priestess, you are my eyes and the guide of the Tribe."

"Only you can fully unleash the power of the wilderness totem."

"I hereby announce!"

"From this day forth, you are the High Priestess of the Dragon God Tribe!"

"You shall manage the totem, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, communicate with the heavens above, and question the spirits below!"

"Your status is second only to mine and above everyone else!"

Whoosh—!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire field was in an uproar!

High Priestess!

Second only to the Chief!

No one expected that Qin Yu would give Su Qingyao such an exalted status!

But when they saw Su Qingyao's peerless beauty and the unspoken intimacy between her and the Chief, all jealousy and resentment turned into natural envy.

A god, naturally, must have the most beautiful God-Queen.

At this point, the power pyramid of the Dragon God Tribe was completely formed!

Qin Yu was the one and only supreme "Dragon God."

Below him were Guard Captain Chen Xiao in charge of military affairs, Chief Steward of Internal Affairs Lin Waner in charge of internal administration, and High Priestess Su Qingyao in charge of religion and divine power!

A prototype of civilization with clear division of labor and strict ranks was officially established under Qin Yu's will!

Looking at the girls who had rekindled their fighting spirit and begun to throw themselves into the reconstruction of their home according to their duties, Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction.

His gaze finally landed on the corpse of the Titan Python in the distance, lying across the land like a black mountain range.

"A new order has been established; now, it is time for a new carnival!"

The corners of Qin Yu's mouth curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

He turned his head and issued new orders to Chen Xiao and Lin Waner.

"The victory celebration is not over yet!"

"Our most bountiful spoils of war are still lying quietly over there!"

"Chen Xiao, take your people and maintain a lookout!"

"Lin Waner, organize everyone to bring knives and prepare to butcher the meat!"

"Today, I want everyone who has bled for the Tribe to enjoy an unprecedented sumptuous feast!"

"I want this beast to make our entire Tribe stronger with its flesh and blood!"
