997. Delay

The Ape God left a mental brand every fifty years, and forty-five of them had already passed since the last gathering. Moreover, the expert claimed to have seen the Ape God, which quickly turned the situation far more serious.

There was a chance that the scared expert had misjudged a powerful beast for a god, but Noah wasn't willing to bet his life on the weakness of those inhabiting those lands.

A series of fast thoughts surged and vanished in his mind in a matter of seconds. The truth was that no countermeasure would work against a being of such power. Even if only as a magical beast, a god was still a god.

"Stand up," Noah eventually said as he turned toward the expert. "I want to know everything about this summoning and mental brands."

The old cultivator explained everything he knew and even added his name, Winter, to the list. The Ape God spread peculiar mental waves that forced all the humans in their range to converge in its lair.
