C10 Received a New Skill

"To the God of Flames, we find ourselves exiled with nowhere to turn."

Qingyou responded, following the female clan leader's signal.

Conversing with a deity was an honor of the highest order, not something even the clan leader would undertake lightly.

Qingyou was of the appropriate age and a pure virgin, having previously communicated with the deity. Thus, the Spirit Cat Clan had come to see her as the prime candidate for Saintess, entrusting her with the sacred duty of divine liaison.

"If that is so, then relocate to the mountain I previously rescued. The land there is rich and well-suited for your habitation," Lin Mo instructed.

The mountain was thoroughly scorched, its surface blanketed in a thick layer of ash—ideal for cultivation and settlement.

"We will heed your guidance and settle in the land bestowed by the god," Qingyou answered with reverence.

"Besides your Spirit Cat Clan, are there others who would pledge their faith to me?" Lin Mo inquired further.

"There are four major clans within the Cat-man Clan: Spirit Cat, Gray Cat, Black Cat, and Raccoon. The Gray Cat and Black Cat clans cherish stability and would surely rejoice under the protection of the Flame Lord.

The Raccoon, however, is naturally aggressive, having allied itself with the Wolf Clan. With their backing, the Raccoon dominates the Cat-man Clan, subjugating both the Gray and Black Cats. Only we chose to resist unto exile," Qingyou clarified.

Lin Mo grasped the dynamics at play. Addressing the Raccoon Clan's challenge could bring the Gray and Black Cats into his fold as followers.

Aiding the Spirit Cat Clan in uniting the Cat-man would be his initial stride in growing his congregation.

With two clans united, he could amass over a thousand Faith Power daily.

Lin Mo resolved within himself that unifying the Cat-man Clan was a pressing priority.

"Very well. Establish yourselves, and I shall issue a divine edict to guide you."

With his command given, Lin Mo dissipated the fiery visage he had formed and transformed into a small fireball, retreating to the shadows.

The Civet Clan remained prostrate for an extended time before cautiously rising and, under Qingyou's lead, made their way to the Land of Divine Blessings.

I had already made arrangements for the Civet Clan's relocation; now, it was up to their determination and hard work to settle in.

The issues with the believers were resolved. The next step was to devise a strategy to enhance my own power.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment before deciding to access his panel and review his current stats.

Oh?

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. Advancing to the Fire King realm had indeed rewarded him with a new ability.

His previous skills, Compressed Flame and Brutal Burn, were mostly augmentative in nature, but this latest addition looked to be a truly offensive power.

"Meteoric Descent, Level 1—Activate!"

With a focused intent, Lin Mo immediately tested out the skill.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sky echoed with the tremendous sound of something tearing through the atmosphere. A meteorite, as large as a small house and wrapped in fierce flames, plummeted from the heavens.

It struck the adjacent forest with a thunderous crash, unleashing a massive explosion.

The impact created a deep crater in the earth, and fragments of the scorching meteorite scattered like shrapnel, igniting a ferocious blaze.

In an instant, an area as vast as a soccer field was reduced to ashes.
