_1 Even though the corpses on the battlefield had long been cleaned up, the bloodstains that had spilled over the Great Wasteland were impossible to conceal.

Aside from the whistling of the gale, the entire battlefield was silent and solemn.

Upon Xiao Chen’s order, numerous War Soldiers from the Gu Yuan Tribe entered the Desolate Ancient Forest, felling trees and collecting wood to prepare the funeral pyre for their fallen brothers.

The roaring flames rose high, but they couldn’t overshadow the heroic spirits of the dead warriors.

Thusly, Xiao Chen stood before this great fire, his body reddened by the blazing heat, as hundreds of warriors returned to the Great Wasteland in the flames.

The rhythmic sounds of labored breathing emanated from the crowd behind him.

Much later, after the raging fire had subsided, nothing but unswept embers remained.

No trace was left behind; hundreds of warriors had completely vanished, their lives seemingly as frail and delicate as ever.

Only those who have been through war can truly understand its cruelty, its bloodlust.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath; this kind of war would not cease.

The battles of today would continue to reoccur, and he did not know when there would be an end to it all.

Once the flames went out, tribe soldiers moved forward, carrying with them wooden urns carved out of trunks.

Arriving at the remaining ashes of the incinerated warriors, they collected their ashes into the urns, ready to take them back to the tribe and bury them in tribal lands.

“Chieftain Xiao, in total, five hundred and thirteen warriors of our Gu Yuan Tribe have fallen on the battlefield.

I have already arranged for the names of these fallen warriors to be recorded and inscribed on their respective urns, for us to bring back to their families.

As for the surviving warriors, nearly all have sustained varying degrees of injuries.

Thankfully, our tribe had brought ample medicinal herbs for wound treatment prior to our departure, and the injuries of our warriors have been treated effectively.”

“Good.

As for the spoils of war, leave them to Elder Xiao Tan after we return to the tribe.” Facing the ashes of hundreds of vivid lives, Xiao Chen felt somewhat suffocated.

At this moment, he was no longer interested in discussing the post-battle spoils of war.

“Chieftain Xiao, when the Kui Shui Tribe retreated, they abandoned their Crimson Flame Beast.

Additionally, this beast has been gravely injured by you.

How should we handle it now?”

Aware that the wounded beast was not yet taken care of, Xiao Chen turned his gaze toward the edge of the battlefield.

A beat-up, exsanguinated beast was lying on the ground, unable to rise due to its critical injuries.

Seeing Xiao Chen’s focus upon it, the Crimson Flame Beast gave a mournful cry; its desperate fear was evident in its fist-sized eyes.

As a two-star Crimson Flame Beast, it had long left its ordinary beast status behind, acquiring some level of intelligence and understanding of its interests.

It clearly remembered Xiao Chen, who, in its eyes, was nothing less than a demon—for he had nearly shattered its strength and energy source, the Wild Star.

Now in Xiao Chen’s control, the prospect of being stripped of its skin and muscles for blood refining terrified it.

Regarding this two-star Crimson Flame Beast, Xiao Chen harbored no intention of killing.

Such an exotic beast was comparable to a human Blood Refining Realm Warrior.

Additionally, these exotic beasts differ from humans in their straightforwardness.

They only submit to the stronger beings.

If they could tame this beast for the Gu Yuan Tribe, adding another being on par with a Blood Refining Realm Warrior would be an advantage.

Gradually stepping closer to the Crimson Flame Beast, Xiao Chen was taken aback by its size.

Regardless of its grievous injuries and inability to stand, Xiao Chen still looked diminutive standing in front of it.

But, of course, size does not determine strength.

As it stood, the Crimson Flame Beast was heavily injured.

Its Wild Star was in danger of shattering, and if it didn’t receive prompt treatment, its strength could diminish drastically.

Gazing at the beast for a long time, Xiao Chen finally spoke, “As the Chieftain of the tribe, I know you have advanced to the two-star beast realm, evolving a fair bit of intellect, capable of making decisions.

Moreover, the instinct of all creatures is to seek benefits and avoid harm.”

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, the Crimson Flame Beast nodded its massive head in an almost human-like fashion.

“Well then, your life or death depends on your decision.

If you choose life, you’ll pledge your loyalty to the Gu Yuan Tribe, and afterward serve our tribe.

If you don’t, as the tribal leader, I’ll have no choice but to flay you, taking your bones and flesh as nourishment for our tribe’s cultivation!”

Xiao Chen’s words carried an undercurrent of killing intent.

He believed that the Crimson Flame Beast, which had gained a fair amount of intelligence, would make the right choice.

Roar!

A lengthy time later, the Crimson Flame Beast let out a roar.

Although its voice was somewhat weak due to its injuries, the imposing aura of a two-star beast remained undiminished.

It bowed its massive head at Xiao Chen’s feet, the manifestation of its surrender.

“Very good!

Joining the Gu Yuan Tribe means we stick together through life and death.

We won’t abandon our brothers and sisters in times of crisis and flee alone like the Xuan She did,”

Seeing the giant beast’s submission, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

The addition of a fresh force comparable to a warrior from the Blood Refining Realm was a cause for joy.

Not only Xiao Chen, but even Ding Shan and the others were smiling broadly.

The strengthening of the tribe meant enhanced security for the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Recognizing the giant beast’s sense of propriety, Xiao Chen didn’t hold back.

He pulled out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured all of the healing pills into the Crimson Flame Beast’s mouth.

“Congratulations Brother Xiao, not only did you lead the Gu Yuan Tribe to defeat the Xuan She and the Kui Shui Tribes today, but you also tamed such a giant beast.

Our Gu Yuan Tribe’s strength has become even more formidable,”

“Indeed, chieftain, what Qing’er said is right.

Today the chieftain has led us to break free from centuries of humiliation that the Gu Yuan Tribe has been enduring.

Our tribe no longer needs to fear.

Every time we used to start developing, we were secretly sabotaged by these two tribes, and our growth process was disrupted.

We had to bend over backward just to survive.”

“Our chieftain has defeated foreign enemies this time and exalted our tribe’s prestige.

Moreover, he reclaimed the land that originally belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

This accomplishment is unparalleled in our tribe’s history, except for the heroic deeds of the first chieftain who established our tribe.

I propose to commemorate the chieftain’s achievement by following in our ancestors’ footsteps and carve it into stone.

It will be a monument that future generations of the Gu Yuan Tribe can look up to and be inspired to forge ahead!”

“Carve into stone!”

Huang Liang’s words echoed in everyone’s ears, reaching every warrior of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Carving achievements into stone signifies the supreme honor for each man.

Everyone was eagerly watching Xiao Chen, waiting for his decision.

Carving achievements into stone is an ancient custom that has been passed down through generations among mankind.

Legend tells that in ancient times, to pay respect to the human ancestors who defeated foreign races and buried them in the Burying Horizon of the Great Wasteland’s Eastern Region, and to commemorate their brilliant military achievements, human beings carved their achievements into the cliffs tens of thousands of feet high at the Burying Horizon to commemorate the battle, to pass down to future generations.

Ever since then, this custom of carving achievements into stone has been passed down from generation to generation, becoming the aspiration of every tribe’s people.

According to the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Xiao Chen is deserving of having his achievements carved into stone.

After all, since the establishment of the Gu Yuan Tribe, no chief had expanded the territory and won fame among foreign tribes.

But Xiao Chen had achieved this!
