Chapter 1247: Chapter 1214: The Alliance of the Five Kings - Defending the Southern Border Together! (Additional Update 1)

Human Saint Child!

Xiao Chen’s voice was soft, but everyone in the Great Hall was a Martial Arts strong one, so naturally, they heard it clearly. However, because of this statement, the Great Hall was split into two vastly different reactions.

The majority of the warriors in the Great Hall had a look of confusion in their eyes, not understanding why Xiao Chen would say such a thing.

They had not heard of the Human Saint Child, but they had heard of the Saints and Divine Children of the Hundred Clans of Heaven; after all, Xiao Chen’s rise to the pinnacle was stepping on the blood and bones of the Saints and Divine Children of the Hundred Clans.

On the other hand, the Warriors in the Great Hall, especially those of the Supreme Kings and some of the long-established Ancient Tribes, had their eyes filled with shock at the words of the Saint Child.

Now that Xiao Chen had spoken such words, what did it imply!

Hiss!

It was precisely because the more they knew and the higher their status, the more they realized their own insignificance. Some Kings drew in a breath of cold air, notably Xiang Song. At this moment, his thoughts were already filled with Xiao Chen’s words.

As for the matter of subjugation related to the Hidden Families, it had already been thrown to the back of his mind.

"Xiao Clan Leader, why do you say this? Could it be...?" Eventually, a Warrior spoke out.

That’s right!

In a moment of realization, the Assembly of Supreme Kings in the Great Hall came to understand!

Xiao Chen absolutely qualified for the position of the Human Saint Child!

He walked out from the Border Wasteland Region and conquest all the way to the Hollow World. Such a glorious record of battle achievements accumulated and resonated throughout the Hundred Realms echoing across the Eastern Wasteland Land. Who else, if not he, would be worthy of the position of the Saint Child?

"The reigning Human Emperor among our Human Race would choose a youth of exceptional talent and unrivaled combat prowess as the Saint Child, the future heir to the Human Emperor’s throne."

"Our Human Saint Child will inherit the position of the Human Emperor in the future and rule over the Land of the Human Clan!"

What!

The position of the Human Emperor!

In the Great Hall, sighs were heard one after another. The warriors, originally confused, now had shock that they could hardly conceal in their eyes. The position of the Human Emperor was, after all, a coveted role where only five had reigned since time immemorial across the entire Land of the Human Clan.

"So it is being said that Xiao Clan Leader will become our Human Emperor of the Human Clan in the future!"

Some warriors, not clear about the reasons, were now convinced that Xiao Chen would be the next East Emperor of the Human Clan!

At that moment, Xiao Chen stood up, and immediately an overwhelmingly strong aura arose and his gaze swept across the entire Great Hall.

"Indeed, Hankered by the favor of the Eastern Emperor Crown, I shall assume the position of the Saint Child of this generation!"

Whoosh!

The Great Hall burst into an uproar as this revelation struck like thunder, making everyone feel as though Heavenly Thunder rumbled within their Soul World.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in the eyes of Xiang Song, which he quickly concealed. It felt as if the very thing he feared had come to pass.

As a scion of the Imperial-Meridian Great Clan, tracing back several generations, with a line of Warriors succeeding one after another in his clan, naturally, their foundation was profound, and they knew far more than other warriors.

No wonder Xiao Chen showed no concern for their united front of Hidden Families, even when they were prepared to execute thundering tactics. He even wondered if he had insisted on leaving the Gu Yuan Tribe earlier, he might have already been taken down!

The position of the Human Saint, encapsulating so many things, the mere prospect of competing for the throne of the Human Emperor could draw countless Warriors!

The Human Emperor was but one person, yet the Human Emperor also needed the support of powers to govern; this called for taking sides. With every rise of a new Human Emperor in the Human Race’s history, a bevy of powerful forces would follow the Human Emperor in his conquest of the All Heavens.

Around the Human Emperor, there would be several Human Race Generals serving, and similarly, a batch of established powers would retire from the stage—this would be a purification of power.

He, of course, was unlike the other warriors, keenly aware that becoming the Human Saint did not guarantee the ultimate inheritance of the throne of the Human Emperor, but it was an opportunity!

What did Xiao Chen have now!

Compared to other Human Saint Children, Xiao Chen was still far too weak. Once Xiao Chen grew powerful, those Large Tribes following him in the conquest of the All Heavens would definitely shine across the sky. Adding icing on the cake is good, but how could it compare to sending charcoal in snowy weather!

This news was not only for his Xiang Song Aristocratic family but could also be said to be an opportunity for all the tribes of the entire Eastern Wasteland South Region!

After the initial shock, contemplation arose in the hearts of many tribal warriors. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe was forging a King-level Tribe, overseeing thirty-seven Human Race Territories, and with Xiao Chen becoming the Human Saint Child, their future development was beyond measure.

However, just as the warriors in the Great Hall were internally tumultuous, Xiao Chen did not speak further; instead, he began to toast the warriors inside the Great Hall.

In fact, to entertain these Supreme Kings and legendary figures, the Gu Yuan Tribe had made considerable efforts. The medicinal cuisines cooked with the Five-Star Beasts, enriched with Heavenly grade spirit medicine, featured rare Exotic Beasts.

Yet amidst the constant shocks, for the warriors in the Great Hall, even with such exquisite Blood Food before them, their minds were no longer on that!

...

Deep Blue King Lake.

A wooden boat drifted on the lake, with several figures seated at the bow, a lingering scent wafting towards them.

After the banquet in the Great Hall concluded, these warriors had been arranged by the Gu Yuan Tribe to stay, just as Xiao Chen had anticipated. Not a single warrior was eager to leave, not even those from the Hidden Families.

"The blue specks of light in this lake water must be the Deep Blue King Crystals. Xiao Clan Leader is indeed generous. If all the water in this lake were extracted, it would be enough to become an auxiliary material for a king-level weapon."

A voice arose from the bow; it was the Heavenly Moon King.

"Xiao Clan Leader has gathered us here. It seems he has something to say."

The Heavenly Cassia King said with a smile, and by now, they had all come to terms with Xiao Chen’s upcoming elevation to the status of a Saint Child.

"Indeed!" Xiao Chen didn’t conceal anything. Before him were the four great king-level tribes, and together with his Gu Yuan Tribe, they represented the most significant forces of the Human Race in the Eastern Wasteland South Region, of course, excluding those Hidden Families.

"The four seniors have taken care of Xiao Mou before he was promoted to king. Xiao Chen will not forget this kindness. Should you ever require assistance, it will certainly not be postponed."

"Is Xiao Chen merely here to express his gratitude?"

On the surface, there are only these five king-level tribes in the entire Eastern Wasteland South Region, indicating that the Gu Yuan Tribe and the other four kingdoms didn’t have much direct conflict, given the vastness of the Southern Domain. Thus disputes over territory between the five king-level tribes were rare.

Instead, there were many opportunities for cooperation, whether it was joining forces to defend the land of the Human Race in the Eastern Wasteland South Region or uniting to resist the Hidden Families!

"The four kings, it turns out Xiao Mou, after all, is a junior, and your tribes have been established for tens of thousands of years."

"You can hardly be considered a junior anymore. In martial arts, there is no distinction between seniority; the one who achieves mastery is always at the forefront."

"The four of you must also be able to guess the meaning behind Xiao Mou’s words. In our Eastern Wasteland South Region, it’s just us five king-level tribes. Naturally, we need to unite and act in unison against external affairs."

"What Xiao Clan Leader is saying aligns precisely with the thoughts of us four. Our Eastern Wasteland South Region is the smallest in area and the weakest in strength among the five regions of the Eastern Wasteland. In the past, it was only supported by our four king-level tribes, but now with Gu Yuan Tribe establishing a king-level tribe and founding a clan at the Southern Border, we too can devote our full efforts to face the threats coming from the Northern Border."

The Celestial Blade King spoke out.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. Since both parties were willing, the next steps would naturally be easier to discuss.

"Xiao Clan Leader, our four great king-level tribes are all located in the northern part of the Southern Domain. Even the Celestial Blade King Tribe, the southernmost, is situated in the central lands. The territory occupied by Xiao Clan Leader’s newly established king-level tribe amounts to less than one-third of our Eastern Wasteland South Region. There aren’t many conflicts of interest between our several tribes, so how about we divide the territories according to our respective domains and each safeguard our own rule?"

"This, Xiao Mou has no objections."

Xiao Chen nodded. In fact, this was also what he wanted to say. Each guarding their own territory and not interfering with the others’ power range forms the basis of cooperation.

Quickly, the five leaders who hold sway over the Eastern Wasteland South Region reached an agreement: the five king-level tribes would form a mutual defense alliance, resisting pressure from the Outer World. Here, the "Outer World" refers not only to the exotic races from the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms but also to invasions from outside the Eastern Wasteland South Region.

Internally, they would suppress the Hidden Families and Ancient Clans within their own territories, maintaining absolute control over their lands!

Having settled these matters, naturally, they began to discuss the most important issue: benefits.

"There are four great King Ore Mines in the Eastern Wasteland South Region, and my Gu Yuan Tribe must be involved in them." Xiao Chen’s voice rose quickly.

"Xiao Clan Leader, the four great King Ore Mines have been excavated for an unknown amount of time, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to mine King Material. Even with Gu Yuan Tribe’s participation, perhaps the harvest will still not be significant."

Heavenly Cassia King said softly, a trace of bitter smile in his eyes.

However, Xiao Chen wasn’t deceived by his amiable appearance. Among the four great king-level tribes of the Southern Domain, the Heavenly Cassia King Tribe had existed the longest.

Moreover, on the vast lands of the Eastern Wasteland South Region, there were certainly more than just these four King Ore Mines, and it’s very likely that these four king-level tribes might have hidden mine veins. In addition to this, there were the various Hidden Families and Ancient Clans.

But these four King Ore Mines were well-known throughout the Great Earth Region, controlled by the four king-level tribes. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe had built a king-level tribe, it naturally wanted a share of the spoils.

"Since it’s a partnership, these four great King Ore Mines are inherently part of our Eastern Wasteland South Region. Now that my Gu Yuan Tribe has established a king-level tribe, we naturally have the right to share in the profits. As for whether we can mine King Material, that’s up to luck."

"Agreed!"

Immediately after, the four great king-level tribes exchanged glances, and it was the Heavenly Cassia King who spoke.

"Since Xiao Clan Leader has put it that way, the King Ore Mines naturally include a part for the Gu Yuan Tribe."

"Now that you are enjoying the benefits, your tribe will also have to take on some responsibilities. The reason our four king-level tribes have formed this arrangement is to secure the Kings’ Void Path."

"The four kings can rest assured, safeguarding the security of the Eastern Wasteland South Region is naturally our responsibility. Every hundred years, my Gu Yuan Tribe will send a contingent of Celestial Soldiers to the Void Paths guarded by you to help maintain the defense. We can make it a hundred-year rotation, what do you think?"

"Good! With the integration of Gu Yuan Tribe’s Celestial Soldiers, we tribes can also relax a bit. If it weren’t for the fact that the Void Path ties up too much of our strength, those Hidden Families wouldn’t dare to be so rampant!"

At that moment, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Blade King.
