Chapter 1282: Chapter 1240: Tribal Troop Gathering - The Secret of Divine Blood!

The East Emperor didn’t give Xiao Chen any chance to think, he just threw him into the space channel.

The space channel was long, the space wall barriers were crystal clear like jade, shimmering with treasure-like light. In just over a dozen breaths, he reappeared above the desolate Earth.

It was the East Desolate Land.

Having established the King-level Tribe, Xiao Chen had an almost familiar perception of the Mountains and Rivers and Earth under his tribe’s domain. The moment he stepped out of the channel, he was still able to discern that he had arrived in the Border Wasteland Region.

Since the East Emperor had said so, instructing him to gather his forces and wage war against the God Clan, he naturally needed to obey the imperial command.

Moreover, he understood that since the East Emperor had spoken thusly, the East Desolate Land must have already been invaded by the God Clan, and by leading his troops there, he was effectively accruing qualifications.

In an instant, Xiao Chen understood; this was an opportunity given to him by the East Emperor. After all, as the Saint Child of the human race from the Eastern Wasteland, he must have some impressive war achievements, the more the better!

The Gu Yuan King’s Department, Yuwang Hall.

The five Grand Elders and three Golden Commanders of the tribe quickly arrived at the Great Hall.

"Elders, I have just received a personal imperial command from the East Emperor Crown, commanding me to lead our department along with the Eastern Wasteland Experts to exterminate the God Clan."

"I volunteer."

Without any hesitation, Ding Shan of the Heavenly Soldier Hall and Shi Ya of the War Master Hall immediately volunteered.

"Heavenly Soldiers from the Heavenly Soldier Hall, when you wage conquest in the various domains and return, how many?"

"Two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers have returned," Ding Shan promptly responded.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. The returning Celestial Soldiers, along with the Tribal War Masters from the War Master Hall, totaled up to three hundred thousand War Soldiers -- enough. It wasn’t that the tribe couldn’t muster more Towering Realm Martial Artists, but because the tribe also needed to maintain its defense.

Moreover, the Gu Yuan Tribe still possessed Xiao Chen’s secretly nurtured hidden strength, an armed force that had never been used since its foundation a hundred years ago.

This time, going to war against the God Clan, the quality of soldiers was more important than quantity. Moreover, Xiao Chen had other plans at this moment, which was to plunder the God Clan.

The more elite the War Soldiers he brought, the better for marching.

They were known as the God Clan, not the Divine Realm, because since the God Clan’s separation from the Holy Realm, they had not found a true place of settlement, now precariously residing in a dilapidated Small World.

This Small World too, it was unknown which era it belonged to or from which perished race it was left behind. The laws of the Small World were not operating fully, merely maintaining a precarious operation. However, the God Clan’s occupation a century ago did breathe new life into this desolate world.

But for this Small World to become a Divine Realm, it was still far from it!

Now that he had grasped the meaning of the East Emperor regarding accruing qualifications for himself, Xiao Chen naturally needed to handle this battle beautifully.

After all, his title as the Saint Child of Eastern Wasteland was indeed somewhat unwarranted.

If he could silence some critics with the military exploits from this battle, that would be excellent!

"Very well, Xiao Bangtu will lead a troop of War Soldiers to guard the King’s Department, and Gu Ling the king will hold the fort in the tribe, with the various Elders maintaining the operations of the tribe."

Quickly, without any hesitation, Xiao Chen commanded.

"Ding Shan, Shi Ya, you two will lead the Tribal Warriors with me into battle, along with the five Luo brothers who are Silver Commanders of our tribe!"

"Yes!"

"Go gather the troops!"

In the next moment, Ding Shan and Shi Ya both left the Great Hall. Now the Gu Yuan Tribe was under the leadership of the various Elders and Commanders, with the talented ones having consumed the Sky Mending Fruit, and some others who had refined the ninth grade of Martial Arts, had reached the Legendary Realm, were also sufficient to go out for the conquest.

"Elders, this battle likely won’t take too long, so there’s no need for the tribe to panic too much."

Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke again. In truth, he hadn’t expected that a simple trip to the Southern Desolate Land would evolve into the situation as it was now.

He had oddly arrived at the Flame Ancient Domain during a crisis for the Fire Phoenix Clan, and the subsequent chain reactions triggered by the Fire Phoenix Clan had caught him off guard.

The grand palm in Fire Phoenix City was undoubtedly royal; clearly, the Fire Phoenix Clan had something that interested a monarch, hence the All Heavens monarchs intervened, leading to a chain reaction across the heavens.

He guessed it was not just the God Clan that had been attacked by humans; perhaps several of the major races among the All Heavens had also experienced the human race’s onslaught.

Like the Saint Clan, with the Sacred Emperor not stationed within the realm, it naturally provided an opportunity for the human race.

As the East Emperor had said, a powerful God Clan did not fit the interests of the human race!

Thus, any race among the All Heavens becoming powerful did not fit the interests of the human race!

For the human race, the best approach was to constantly keep them in check -- once they grew stronger, go out and wage war on them. It may not be possible to annihilate them, but neither would it allow them to truly grow powerful.

So Xiao Chen deduced that this incursion into the Divine Realm was primarily intended to eradicate the God Clan’s living forces, erode their potential; potential here meant everything from living beings to resources, even Cultivating Methods, and habitats, all to be obliterated.

Erode the potential of the race!

If the Fire Phoenix Clan represents a sumptuous feast for the races in the Heavens that yearn for cultivating divinity,

then to the warriors of the entire Eastern Desolate Land, the God Clan is a feast, a chance to plunder countless resources, and to stunt the developmental potential of the God Clan.

He also believed that such plundering was something the Human Clan would definitely partake in frequently.

After issuing the Imperial Command, Xiao Chen appeared in the Mountain and River Seal Small World.

"Feng Li thanks the Lord for granting our Fire Phoenix Clan’s children such great mercy!"

A fiery red silhouette bowed gracefully to Xiao Chen, while Luo Qing by her side did the same. Among these children were those of the Luo Family.

"Rise, as the Fire Phoenix Clan has shed blood for our Human Clan, this King may not know the reasons, but these children are innocent. They are still young, and it is not yet their time to bleed for our Human Clan."

Xiao Chen lifted the two figures up, then spoke again, "Right now, this King has just received the East Emperor’s Imperial Command. After completing the task, I will head to the South Li Land to send these children to the Fire Emperor Palace."

At this moment, Xiao Chen already knew that the Red Fire Divine General, who served the Fire Emperor, was a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

However, some events had occurred years ago that led to the Red Fire Divine General leaving the Fire Phoenix Clan. There were even rumors that the Fire Phoenix Clan had expelled the Red Fire Divine General from their ranks.

But since the Fire Phoenix Clan Ancestor, before departure, wanted to send the children of the Clan to the Red Fire Divine Mansion, it was clear that the relationship between the Red Fire Divine General and the Fire Phoenix Clan was extraordinary.

With these children, the Fire Phoenix Clan was not completely annihilated!

He left Feng Li as a Divine General under his command. The Red Fire Divine General wouldn’t say anything, but the children saved by Xiao Chen numbered nearly one hundred thousand, all of whom were under fifteen years of age—these were the hope for the Fire Phoenix Clan’s rise once again.

The Red Fire Divine General would definitely not turn them over to him, so instead of forcing the issue, he might as well extend a favor and send these children back to the South Li Land. In doing so, he would earn a favor with the Red Fire Divine General—after all, isn’t the greatest investment one can make in the world the debt of gratitude?

"This King is preparing to compile a Divine Army, and since you two are Divine Generals under my command, naturally you are granted the authority to command. Next, you will need to select your respective subordinates."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Qing and the other were taken aback. Compiling a Divine Army could be difficult or easy; having divine blood and the methods for cultivation are sufficient. What comes next is to see whether the ones who cultivate can withstand the backlash of the divine blood. The more divine blood one integrates, the stronger they naturally become; it is essentially a shortcut in cultivation.

Of course, the faster one cultivates, the faster one might die. Clans like the Dragon and Fire Phoenix have, over countless years and generations of inheritance, continuously refined and stabilized their divine blood to reach their current state.

In a rush to gather forces and create a Divine Army, the only option is to fill the ranks with lives, constantly integrating divine blood. Those who withstand the chaos of the divine blood and reach the end are the winners. As for those who can’t suppress it, they naturally fall along the way.

"Lord, creating a Divine Army is not difficult. With your methods of Divine Cultivation and enough divine blood, we could quickly raise an army."

Suddenly, Feng Li spoke up.

"Enough divine blood, huh?" Xiao Chen murmured, and for a moment, his gaze became frozen.

"What kind of restrictions does the Feng Family’s Phoenix Divine Blood have?"

As Xiao Chen asked his question, Feng Li and Luo Qing glanced at each other. It seemed that Xiao Chen’s question made them unsure whether or not to answer.

The reason why Xiao Chen made such an inquiry was that he had speculated ever since learning that the Fire Phoenix Clan was part of a grand plan set by the Human Clan.

And considering the affairs of the Dragon Fall City Luo Family and the foreign races coming forth to plunder bloodlines, bloodlines that had once given rise to emperors, why would the Human Clan let them go?

There had to be a crucial link that he could not yet fathom.

Feng Li bit her lower lip, and Luo Qing’s expression was not good either. Although they were doing it for the Human Clan, they were not very clear about it, as it involved the melting away of their bloodline and kin.

Finally, Feng Li spoke with a hint of sorrow, "Lord, we do not know the specific circumstances apart from what the clan’s ancestors and our fathers do."

"We only know that the four great God-blood Clans that have birthed Emperors, at the time of integrating the bloodline, had already set a restriction within the bloodline, a restriction that would accompany our kin generation after generation."

"That is, once the Divine Method reverses and the divine blood flows backward, bringing the origin to its downfall, the divine blood will become a deadly poison. While there may be a brief spike in strength, once the divine blood reverses, life expectancy is short-lived."

"Could it be that the warriors of the Fire Phoenix Clan had already reversed their divine blood before leaving the barrier?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen had an epiphany, and as the words left his mouth, he realized—wasn’t this obvious?

Presumably, the Dragon lineage of the past and the annihilated North Sea Xuan Family had all undergone this process. The only puzzlement was that, since the Hundred Clans had taken these bloodlines, had they not discovered the secrets within them over the years?

Even he found this conjecture hard to believe!

But knowing that the Human Clan had schemes, why then would the Hundred Clans act in this way, mass mobilizing once again to plunder the divine blood of the Fire Phoenix Clan? It didn’t add up.

Clearly, there were too many secrets involved. He couldn’t believe that after all the efforts of the Human Clan, it was merely a gift of Divine Method to the Hundred Clans of Heaven!

Perhaps it was not evident now, but that did not preclude possibilities in the future!

"Let’s go!"

In the next moment, Xiao Chen did not dwell on this further. Since there was a prohibitive law within the bloodline, and the God Clan had absorbed the divine blood of the Xuan Family of the Human Clan, there must be complications. It seemed he needed to adjust his plan to hunt the God Clan for divine blood.

Xiao Chen, along with the two, appeared in another space within the Mountains and Rivers Seal, where millions of lives were flourishing with vigor.

ps I won’t change it; the Chapter is 3000 words long!
