The guests assumed that once they entered the tribe's territory, they would need to explain everything that had happened that day to the high priest.
Unexpectedly, the high priest already knew everything and had a clear view from the highest watchtower in the tribe.
Combined with Jiang Nuo's explanation, this deliberate fabrication of a divine deception has finally come to light.
The high priest and the Nuo shamans now both feared and revered Jiang Nuo.
Regarding the identity of the deity that the Bone Witch Tribe has been worshipping for hundreds of years, the High Priest hesitated to speak.
When asked about the origin of the body of the first clan chief's son in the bamboo hut at the sentry post, he stammered and couldn't give a proper answer.
"They won't say anything, they won't explain anything, they deserve to be fooled."
Si Yan criticized without any reservations.
At this point, Jiang Nuo played the bad cop again, waving the Eight Treasures Gourd in front of the high priest and the Nuo goddess in a mysterious manner.
"Please, everyone, organize another sacrificial ceremony as soon as possible, and have the clansmen whose families have experienced fainting come to the sacrificial square."
"Their souls are all here. The longer they're separated from their bodies, the harder it is for them to reunite. They might die any second now."
Upon hearing that it concerned the souls of their tribe's inhabitants, the high priest, who had been speechless just moments before, immediately agreed.
Zhou Ling: "The deity hoax is too ridiculous. It's hard to get them to believe it." She shook her head as she said this.
Lin Yu came up with an idea and suggested, "It's better for us all to go on stage and help Jiang Nuo explain than for him to do it all by himself."
After saying that, he smiled at Jiang Nuo in a friendly manner.
Jiang Nuo twice, then hid behind Si Yan, muttering to herself.
Lin Yu didn't do anything special in this episode, why does his smile always feel so... creepy?
Jiang Nuo was really puzzled and rubbed her arms.
I have a feeling that Jiang Nuo is a little afraid of Lin Yu. Is it just my imagination?
Rather than fear, it's more like she doesn't want to talk to him. These two have probably completely fallen out and become rivals.
[Hilarious! It's unbelievable that a celebrity would act so arrogantly on a variety show. Does Jiang Nuo think she's so powerful that she can look down on everyone?]
[Heh heh heh, is there anyone who doesn't know Jiang Nuo and his fans? They're notoriously rude. It's probably best to stay away from Lin Yu to avoid being accused of trolling!]
How dare Lin Yu's fans use the word "status"? Open your eyes and look at the number of fans! Jiang Nuo and Lin Yu are no longer on the same level!
[The point is, everyone's arguing about Lin Yu and Jiang Nuo, and nobody cares about Qian Sen, who has tried countless times to talk to Si Yan...]
Holy crap!! What's with Qian Sen's look? It's kind of scary!
What the comments section could spot, Si Yan naturally noticed as well.
However, he ignored it and refused to communicate with Qian Sen.

Hearing that it could revive family members in a coma, the tribespeople once again surrounded the sacrificial square, this time even more excited than during the worship ceremony.
But what the people of the tribe received was not a formal sacrificial ceremony, but rather the presence of several outsiders they had previously driven away.
The guest group, consisting of celebrities and internet influencers, were used to being on stage, but today's scene certainly refreshed their understanding.
The tribespeople below the stage all wore solemn expressions, their bright eyes fixed on the statue. Their awe did not come from the guests on the stage, but from the deer head behind them.
This is almost an ingrained belief in the hearts of this generation of the Bone Witch Tribe Clan members.
Jiang Nuo looked back, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Logically speaking, even if the so-called deity worshipped for hundreds of years only has a trace of divine consciousness, the fact that they are worshipped in this way should mean they have some divine intention.
Why is this deer head still so ordinary, without any change at all?
"Could the gods of the Bone Witch Tribe also be man-made...?"
Jiang Nuo turned around and whispered to Si Yan, "These tribespeople are so pitiful, they were completely fooled like that."
On the stage, Lin Yu and Chu Xiu were explaining the truth they had discovered to the tribespeople, exposing the deception by the gods, with the Nuo goddess women, who all understood Mandarin, translating their words one by one.
As expected, the tribespeople became extremely agitated and riotous.
They dared not and did not want to believe that the god in the dense forest, who had received so many offerings, was actually the villain who had almost caused their Bone Witch Tribe to be wiped out.
The argument from the audience continued, and Lin Yu and Chu Xiu were unable to control the situation.
I couldn't understand what the tribespeople were shouting, but I knew their anger had affected me, and their eyes were frightening.
Chu Xiu wiped away her sweat, placing her hopes on Jiang Nuo.
At this point, the only way to resolve this chaotic situation is to quickly restore the souls of the living to their bodies and awaken the unconscious members of the tribe.
So the high priest pleaded with Jiang Nuo, trying to persuade him, and really didn't know what he was waiting for.
Jiang Nuo looked down at the audience and, seeing that it was about time, asked again.
"Is the High Priest truly unwilling to explain to us the mystery of the gods you have worshipped since ancient times?"
Si Yan raised the Eight Treasures Gourd in cooperation, as if he would immediately smash the gourd, which was filled with divine souls, if the High Priest still dared to conceal anything.
"Can't!!"
The high priest was terrified by this action. He exchanged glances with the old women around him, unsure of what to say.
"Because there are no gods!"
A familiar, aged voice came from behind me.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling stepped forward and helped the witch doctor.
[Here it comes! The most anticipated reveal!]
What made an ancient tribe so devoted to the deer head? And what caused the witch doctor to suffer such horrific torment?
[Next, an advertisement... (not really)]
As the old witch doctor passed the high priest, she slammed her cane down hard. "Even if we have to keep it from the people of our tribe, let others know how helpless we are now! The Bone Witch Tribe has long since collapsed!"
Her rugged and bizarre face held a strange mix of a smile and extreme anger; her expression was quite peculiar.
"We have no gods. Our so-called abilities are merely special witchcraft passed down to priests and shamans."
"In earlier years, although the Bone Witch Tribe lived in seclusion, they frequently communicated with the outside world. Gradually... the outside world developed faster and faster, Bone Witch Tribe... could not keep up with the development of civilization."
"The clan chief at the time was afraid that the young people would all leave and no one would be able to pass on the witchcraft, so he came up with the idea of worshipping a deity, so that as long as there was faith, no one would dare to leave."
They never expected that this method would be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, almost leading to the annihilation of their entire tribe.
Jiang Nuo: "And who is this so-called son of the clan chief in the bamboo hut at the sentry post?"
The high priest sighed; things had come to this point, and there was no point in hiding it any longer.
"That's our current clan leader, or to be precise... the clan leaders of the Bone Witch Tribe for the past hundred years or so have all been that corpse."
"They are undead corpses we created using witchcraft."
"Oh~" Jiang Nuo suddenly understood, "On the one hand, they instill faith in the people, and on the other hand, they make them fear this power."
He laughed, his smile bordering on mockery.
"This behavior is remarkably similar to Ma Ye's approach."
