The Beast God set down the scroll. His wise and warm golden eyes looked toward as he asked, "Why?"
I didn’t speak.
I didn’t know how to describe the panic and baseness in my heart.
I felt like a bad person.
I should be punished by the Beast God.
The Beast God dismissed the beastn who had brought here. He took his seat and quietly watched .
"Child, can you speak now?"
My pupils trembled slightly. I said, "Xin Wu is evil! His selfish desires will bring disaster to an entire tribe in the future. Cubs and females will die because of him. He is not a qualified priest!"
"The future..." The Beast God raised his head.
"Bai Feng, I am the Beast God, but I cannot see the future. That is a demigod’s ability."
I lifted my head, my heart pounding.
I didn’t understand why the Beast God would say such a thing.
The Beast God’s golden eyes looked piercingly at . "How can you prove that the future you’ve seen is true?"
I beca fearful. "I just saw it! I really did!"
The Beast God didn’t seem to disbelieve . He said, "How can you prove it is true? And how can you prove that the future you’ve seen won’t change?"
"I... I..." As a young man who had inherited this troubleso special ability, I didn’t know how to deal with the things I saw.
The Beast God sighed.
"Prophetic sight is not a shackle; it is a gift bestowed upon you by the heavens. You are worthy of it. Do you understand?"
I was terrified.
I thought I had made a mistake.
The Beast God summoned all the priests of the Divine Temple.
I thought he would punish severely.
I knelt there, not daring to move an inch.
But who would have thought? On that day, the Beast God Long Ze issued two decrees.
"First: Bai Feng, convicted of biased judgnt and the wrongful killing of Pao Ze, is to be confined in the Divine Temple for five years."
"Second: Promote Bai Feng to the rank of High Priest of the Divine Temple."
In the Beast World, there are countless priests, but I am the only High Priest.
The Beast God’s thoughts were inscrutable. Although the other priests didn’t understand and were not convinced, they didn’t say much out of reverence for him.
And I was confined to the Beast God’s side hall, which was tantamount to being imprisoned at his side.
I believed he knew everything I did, even my very thoughts.
Five years passed, and I left the Divine Temple.
During those five years, I also began to adapt to my eyes.
I returned to White Eagle City.
When I didn’t use my eyes, I could only see what ordinary people saw.
But when I used my eyes, I could see fragnts of a person’s past and future.
Later, I caused trouble again.
I was once again escorted back to the Divine Temple.
I could see the schadenfreude in the eyes of the priests as they looked at .
They all believed that this ti I would not be forgiven, that I would fall from my position as High Priest.
I returned to the Divine Temple.
This ti, however, I was very calm.
Long Ze saw , and I heard him sigh heavily.
"Bai Feng, why did you kill your own mother?" I heard him ask calmly.
I knelt down. No matter what, I revered the Beast God.
"Lord Beast God. I didn’t kill my mother. That female... she wasn’t my mother."
"When I was just an infant, her own cub died. Upon seeing my beast father and mother holding , swaddled and helpless, she was overco with jealousy. She killed my beast father, drove my mother away, and then seized to raise as her own."
"At first, she was kind to . But later, after she had other cubs of her own, she would be reminded of the evil she had done. She began to believe I was the evil one, so she harassed and abused at every turn. Eventually, she sent to the Divine Temple, hoping you could ’purify’ my ’sinful’ self."
I kowtowed deeply, the sound of my head striking the floor echoing throughout the Divine Temple.
"She was evil, truly wicked! I killed her to avenge my father. Lord Beast God, I have no regrets!"
Upon hearing my words, the priests in the Divine Temple beca alard.
"Bai Feng, don’t talk nonsense! You yourself said you were just an infant in swaddling clothes at the ti. How could you possibly have mories from back then?"
"Bai Feng, do you realize how precious females are in this world? As a priest who has killed a female, you’ve committed a capital offense!"
"Killing a female is a capital offense!"
"A capital offense!!!"
The Beast God raised his hand, and the priests fell silent.
In my heart, I knew my sins were grave. As a male who had slain a female, I had indeed committed a capital offense.
