“Miss Tina, Miss Trish, and Miss Sheila, it’s time for the three of you to board now. please come with me.” With the reminder from the gentle and pleasant blonde service lady, the three girls walked to the boarding passage of the Kennedy Airport Lounge. Tina gave Zhang Lisheng one last kiss before boarding, “Hey, Lisheng! I really don’t want to leave you. Goodbye, baby. ”

“Wow, what a pair of enviable entangling couple! But, dear sister, the time is running out, you should give me a few seconds to say goodbye to your boyfriend too!” As Sheila was speaking, she pushed Tina away and placed her cheeks close to the young man’s cheek before making loud kissing noise. “Thank you for giving me the most incredible two weeks of my life, Lisheng. See you!”

Trish who was on the side hesitated a moment before kissing Zhang Lisheng’s cheeks as well. “Goodbye, Lisheng.”

After the three girls said goodbye, they walked along the aisle to the plane. Tina turned her head from time to time and waved at Zhang Lisheng longingly. The young man also returned a longing smile at her.

After a while, the plane soared up into the sky and flew towards the blue sky. At this moment, Zhang Lisheng had already left the airport and was sitting in the back seat of a taxi to the new New York port.

Actually, after witnessing the Witch Doctor who betrayed the ‘Lord’ to find him peculiarly and killing himself horribly after leaving the message, he was not as calm as the facade he showed Tina, Trish, and Sheila. His impression of the powerful ‘Darkwalker’ lurking in New York City had improved tremendously.

The improvement of the impression also made Zhang Lisheng inevitably realize the thing that Sir Lord coveted, particularly so when he was being in control of a large Hellfire tribe that had a great congenital advantage.

After arriving at the new port, he boarded the last ferry to the Shrimp B1 Island. The young man looked at the red sun on the horizon from the deck and recalled the Witch Doctor’s confession over ten days ago before muttering to himself, “No matter what, now that this is seemingly related to such an imaginary thing as ‘belief’, it must have something to do with Gods. Don’t tell me that the reason that so-called ‘Lord’ wanted to unravel the secret of the Hellfire tribesmen’s faith is because he wants to become a… a God… No, wait a minute! How can I possibly think of such an absurd thing!? If one can become a god just by having the beliefs of a few aborigines, the Shrimp World No. 2 would have been filled with gods and buddhas already! B-but, that Lord’s power seems to be far above my imagination, he’s certainly not a vain madman! Since that dead Witch Doctor has even mentioned this concept of ‘Trinity’, well, how else can I can justify this if it’s not for the sake of becoming a God?”

In the ancient myths of many civilizations on Earth, the objects described that the ‘Trinity’ described usually pointed to Gods, powerful Gods on top of that. For example, in Western society, the name of ‘God’ which over a billion people worshipped was actually the Trinity’s collective name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the East, the legend of the Taoist Master Lao Tzu’s most famous saying—the Three Pure Ones—was also a reversal saying of the Trinity.

The young man pondered between God and Laozi repetitively. No matter how he contemplated about it on the boat, he still could not figure it out. By the time the ferry had reached the pier of the Shrimp B1 Island’s human gathering place, he shook his head hard and strode along the ladder down the ferry. When he saw that there was not much time left, he ran straight to the gate of the city wall.

He was lucky enough to blend in with the last batch of people who walked out of the gathering place. Putting on a careful facade, he entered the jungle with caution and continued to walk several hundred meters forward amid the insect’s cries. Then, he commanded Ghostface to jump out of the pocket of his clothes before carrying him to Tudenan at an incredible speed.

After two hours of speeding, he finally seated on the soft furry blanket in the Tudenan’s bark house, enshrining the tribal book of history. Holding onto the Tudenan tribal book of history that seemed to be rough and heavy yet full of a quaint and sacred taste, he turned the cover open.

In fact, Zhang Lisheng had long read this tribal book of history before. However, since the Hellfire men’s tribal book of history and the totem poles contained too many unbelievable and incomprehensible things, along with the fact that the young man felt guilty for he was not actually a sea spiritual monster, he roughly went through the book two to three times but saw nothing much. After that, because of the fear of the unknown seeping through his subconscious, he put it on the shelf and enshrined it according to tradition. Ever since then, he stayed at a respectful distance.

This time, the reason Zhang Lisheng decided to study it seriously was because he felt that if there was something special like the Trinity in the aborigine tribe, this tribal book of history should be one of them aside from the totem pole.

“Totem pole, a tribal book of history… it must be these three things included in the Trinity, but no matter how I count it, there are only two magical items in the Hellfire tribe…” Zhang Lisheng flipped the paper page one after another and looked at the drawing of strange beasts and gods that still remained colorful and vivid despite undergoing many years of tempering.

While looking at them, he muttered to himself, “There are only two no matter how I ponder over it. The hell? What else is there that this book could mention in the same breath with the totem pole and the tribal book of history to constitute the Trinity…”

As he was muttering to himself, the young man frowned and unconsciously turned the Tudenan tribal book of history to the last page. Suddenly, as though he was looking in a mirror, he saw a pale skinny young man with an undistinguished appearance who only had a piece of animal skin wrapping the bottom half of his body sitting on a thick animal skin. That man was staring into him with a blank expression from the book.

With a sudden jolt to his heart, Zhang Lisheng suddenly thought of a possibility.

Besides the totem pole and tribal book of history, the other vital thing in the Hellfire tribe was the protection of a spiritual monster. This made him blurted out at once, “The f*ck? Isn’t that obvious? The other amazing thing in the Hellfire tribe is the spiritual monster that is protecting it! In the case of a true disciple, it means… me!”

The instant this thought arose in his mind, Zhang Lisheng felt dizzy, as though he had suddenly fallen into a huge kaleidoscope. Gradually, all the past connections he had with Tudenan slowly emerged from beginning to end in his mind. When he was inadvertently refining his wizard gu in the Shrimp B1 Island, he encountered the Tudenan’s hunting team by chance. Since he had conveniently helped to kill the beast that was being hunted, he became the Tudenan’s guardian in a rather baffling manner. When he was at the human gathering place on the foreign world’s island surveying the land there, he encountered the Tudenan’s fugitives whom the fleeing and migrating Luami tribe had almost annihilated. Then, to enhance his wizard power, he was willing to help Tudenan annex the heavily injured Luami tribe due to his selfish motive.

He made the only surviving Tudenan’s tribesman, Tugra, to become a tribal headman, and not long after that, seizing the chance of the emergence of the Emperor Molasses, he conquered the three tribes of Menger, Pavaro, and Vals by ruse…

The past huge and small incidents gradually flashed across Zhang Lisheng’s eyes one after another without fail. It was only until the last image of him picking up the piece of Gold Core fragment to insert it into the spines of the Tudenan’s elite warriors and gave nine Tudenan tribesmen a special powerful power unachievable by the others that all the images finally came to an abrupt end.

After that, the Tudenan’s tribal book of history suddenly burst into a star-like light, illuminating everything as it rose into the air from Zhang Lisheng’s hand. That light that shone in all directions seemed to contain infinite heat. In an instant, it turned everything in the big treehouse into ashes.

As the Tudenan’s tribal book of history gave off the ray, the tribal totem pole with a diameter of over ten meters also ignited from top to bottom, till a blazing fire soared up to the sky in a billowing manner.

When the Tudenan tribesmen who had just finished a day of busy fishing and hunting life, who were waiting for others to finish their preparation on the barbecue so they could fill their hungry stomachs, saw the blazing fire on the totem pole and the tribal book of history, that burned the big tree house into nothingness, they immediately threw themselves onto the ground.

This kind of situation was familiar to everyone in the Hellfire tribe, as they knew that it was the spiritual monster guarding the tribe who was in the process of taking the offering. For this reason, most of the Tudenan tribesmen began to pray silently, dedicating their mental effort to their living faith.

Only Tumu, who was once the most powerful chief warrior in Tudenan, fell to the ground with a complicated look in his eyes, although he was also seemingly praying in silence as he watched the fire—that sent no shock to the Hellfire tribe at all—that was burning with increasing intensity and heat that had enveloped the Tudenan’s Raider entirely.

At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on the ash of a pile of animal skin as he felt as though the blazing fire had completely burned his soul, was already at the verge of death.

His entire body was so stiff that he could not move at all. Relying on Money Toad and the lizard’s transformation power, the young man could barely save his own life. After his body underwent a long time of burning, it began to crack slowly, turned into dust, and caved in.

As the bloody pits and holes on its body surface that led directly to his internal organs increased, the fire of the Tudenan’s totem pole and tribal book of history infiltrated into Zhang Lisheng’s body, licking his heart and liver that had already lost half of their vigor and captured his last remaining ounce of vitality.

The young man felt a sharp and heart-wrenching pain all over his body as he gradually lost consciousness with a bitter smile still on his face. Even though he knew that he no longer had any chance to survive, he still fought to the end, and at that moment, when he held his breath in vain to activate the wizard power in his flesh and blood, a sudden turn emerged out of nowhere.

When the flame rushed into Zhang Lisheng’s skull, a faint light suddenly flowed into his brain. Although the light was so faint that he could barely detect it, the instant it appeared and came in contact with the ‘flame of faith’ burning Zhang Lisheng’s body, it caused the fire to become completely harmless right away.

His body suddenly felt relaxed. It made Zhang Lisheng dumbfounded as he saw his last glimmer of life. immediately, he felt as though he had risen to a paradise from hell.

The young man felt the blazing flame that was about to turn his body and his soul into ashes suddenly transforming into a holy light that can give extraordinary power to a person. Not knowing how to use this flame of faith, he instinctively felt a sense of anxiety.

It was only until his head had become heavier did he realize that the feeling of comfort in the paradise was actually an illusion in contrast to the feeling of being in a heart-wrenching pain earlier. Even though the flame of faith no longer posed any danger to him, it would not make the fatal burn injuries to recover. He still had not solved the crisis yet.
