Kairuoka's display of divine abilities quickly led the nearby Indigenous People to regard him as a deity.
Whether they were newly acquainted or had interacted with him before, every day people came to worship in front of the tower-like structure. Although Kairuoka and Fair Connie appeared friendly and approachable, the Indigenous People still dared not approach them, fearing that they might offend the gods and bring disaster upon themselves.
Kairuoka had no time to ponder such details; he was focused on settling his home first.
He had turned off all communication devices on the ship at the start of their journey, cutting off contact with Mars. Recently, he had familiarized himself with the surrounding terrain and planned to construct a building complex similar to the Kairo Tribe Residence in a clearing deep within the dense forest that he had already scouted.
In just a few days, the environment around the Command Ship, through their careful decoration, had taken on a new charm. However, Kairuoka still felt something was missing; surrounded by lush green forests, he thought that since Fair Connie loved flowers, there were still too few blooms in the area.
Kairuoka immediately decided to venture deep into the forest to find the flowers he needed and flew into the jungle using his Lightness Skill.

Not long after entering the jungle, a sudden scream from a human pierced through the bird songs and insect sounds, sounding particularly jarring, accompanied by the growls of a bear.
Kairuoka quickly got up to investigate. His gaze soon fell upon a child hanging from a branch of a Rubber Tree, desperately calling for help. Below the tree, an injured Grizzly Bear was howling and shaking the trunk vigorously... It seemed that the tree could no longer withstand the commotion; if the branches cracked, the child would surely fall to their doom.
Without hesitation, Kairuoka leaped down from the tree and delivered a powerful punch to the Grizzly Bear, sending it flying about ten feet away. This was an adult Grizzly Bear, and while Kairuoka's punch did not knock it down, it quickly retaliated with a howl. Fortunately, Kairuoka reacted swiftly, soaring into the air to evade the bear's attack. In mid-air, he kicked towards the bear's head. The kick was forceful enough to cause severe damage, sending the bear tumbling several feet away, unable to move. The child in the tree watched in astonishment, cheering loudly.
"Come down now; it's safe," Kairuoka called up to the child, but they remained frozen in place, staring at him blankly from their perch.
Realizing that the child did not understand his words, Kairuoka resorted to gestures to signal for them to come down.
The child timidly climbed down and stood in front of his savior, looking up at him with admiration.
Kairuoka patted his head and said, "It's dangerous here, hurry back home." The child didn’t understand his words but nodded vigorously.
To express his gratitude for Kairuoka's rescue, the saved child took a wild fruit from his cloth pouch and offered it to him, his eyes sparkling with expectation.
Kairuoka was amused by the child's innocent demeanor and politely accepted the fruit, sitting with the child in the grass.
The two of them, one big and one small, ate the wild fruit and communicated with gestures, not caring whether they understood each other, only feeling joy in their hearts.
As evening approached, Kairuoka realized he didn’t know where the child lived, so he gestured for him to come home for a while. The child nodded eagerly and followed his savior's steps toward the edge of the forest.
Upon arriving at Kairuoka's home, the child was immediately stunned... it was his first time seeing such a beautiful place, far superior to their simple hut.
Then, Kairuoka brought out delicious food and showcased some new gadgets from Mars, making the little boy marvel continuously. It was clear that in the child's eyes, Kairuoka had become not just a great hero but a living deity.
After staying for a day and night, the child left without saying goodbye but returned again after a day. This time, he brought his father—
It turned out that the child's name was Kandadi, the son of Chief of the Lalawa Tribe. Chief Kant came to thank Kairuoka after hearing that he had saved his son.
When Chief Kant met Kairuoka, he recognized him as the leader of the Indigenous People who had surrounded him that day. Although after that battle, the Lalawa Tribe had revered him as a god-like figure, Chief Kant still harbored resentment towards Kairuoka's existence.
Now that Kairuoka has saved his son, he has finally changed his stance—upon meeting, Chieftain quickly bowed and apologized. Kairuoka waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formality.
After spending some time with the child Kandadi, Kairuoka began to understand some of the local language. Through gestures, he was able to communicate smoothly with Chief Kant. As they became more familiar with each other, thanks to his strong Cognitive Ability, exceptional memory, and heightened perception, he quickly grasped the commonly used phrases in the local language and could roughly read the local script.
This period of interaction further convinced Chief Kant that only a messenger sent by the gods could possess such abilities, and the entire Lalawa Tribe began to regard Kairuoka as a divine being.
