(Vote!!) _1 At this moment, besides Xiao Chen, only the father-and-son duo of Tie Shi and Tie Wen remained in the Great Hall.

As the Grand Elder and head of the Dark Hall respectively in the Gu Yuan Tribe, their blood refining status held considerable reputation within the tribe.

One was the trusted servant of the late clan leader, while the other had been the new leader’s playmate since childhood.

They were the direct line of the leader’s bloodline within the Gu Yuan tribe.

“Uncle Tie, let’s be open, we are family after all.

A year ago, you pushed me, the frail Xiao Chen, to take the lead in defiance of public opinion.

Throughout the year, you worked tirelessly to maintain the tribe.

Today, there are no distinctions between us.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a heart-to-heart!”.

“And Tie, you’ve been my brother through life and death.

Our Gu Yuan tribe is growing rapidly now, I hope you can help me!”.

Looking at Xiao Chen, who was beginning to show the traits of a king, Tie Wen couldn’t help but feel reassured.

As a brother in arms to the old clan leader, he never expected that Xiao Chen would be so impressive.

Under Xiao Chen’s leadership, the Gu Yuan tribe had expanded its territories through war, achievements matching those of any previous Gu Yuan clan leaders, and it all felt like a dream.

“Now, the development of our Gu Yuan Tribe has reached a bottleneck, which is the number of tribe members.

In the Great Wasteland, the number of tribe members represents the prosperity of a tribe.

To flourish again, we must confront this limitation.

For weak battle divisions, a population of 20,000 is sufficient.

But for our Gu Yuan tribe, this is far from enough.

Without enough tribespeople, our tribe cannot accumulate enough foundation, and we wouldn’t be able to expand our battle force.

We’re already struggling to support our 4,000 warriors!”.

In the vast Great Hall, Xiao Chen’s voice echoed constantly.

Tie Shi and his son kept nodding their heads, understanding this simple truth.

They know that the development of a tribe can’t just consume resources without accumulating anything, otherwise it would be like a moth drawn to a flame, with no long-term viability, eventually leading to a dead end.

“The tribe leader is right.

Our Gu Yuan tribe currently has only 20,000 people.

Not long after the Resentful Spirits’ unrest, over a thousand of our tribespeople died or were rendered useless, which is a 10% loss.

At this rate, how many times can our Gu Yuan tribe survive such chaos?

After all, how can we talk about the tribe’s future when there are no people left!”.

Now, Xiao Chen, seated at the main seat, was not as awe-inspiring as before.

In that moment, he was simply a leader seeking the development of his tribe.

“A few months ago, we absorbed various wanderers from the Great Wasteland due to the limitation of our tribe’s population.

However, due to the chaotic heritages of these people, and the poor quality of talent among their children, we should never absorb these wanderers into our tribe unless absolutely necessary.”.

“Tribe leader, father, I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate to speak.”.

“Brother Tie, feel free to speak up!”.

“Tribe leader, you mentioned not to absorb more wanderers unless absolutely necessary.

But what about tribes that have fallen in rank?

Not long ago, we survived the Resentful Spirits’ rampage.

According to our scouts, half of the tribes within tens of thousands of miles in the Great Wasteland have been severely attacked, with the strong ones dying in battle.

Their current situation is even worse than ours a year ago.

While these tribes no longer have strong defenders, they still retain their heritage and techniques.

If our Gu Yuan tribe sends our strong ones to subdue them, I believe it’s not difficult!”.

“Brother tie, that’s exactly what I was thinking!”.

Xiao Chen shared the same thought as Tie Wen.

Although he couldn’t guarantee that these defeated lower-ranked tribes wouldn’t end up like those wanderers, he was getting impatient.

Besides, the sealing of the alien race in the Void Path left him with little time for step-by-step development and accumulation of the tribe’s strength.

He had to take risks and try his hardest to improve the tribe’s strength.

By forcibly incorporating the defeated human war tribes into his clan after the Resentful Spirits’ rampage, there might be disputes at the beginning.

But looking further ahead, the development of the Gu Yuan tribe hinges on the increase in the number of tribe members.

In reality, there is no time for the Gu Yuan tribe to multiply through natural birth.

Encouraging tribal people to reproduce requires too much time.

The only way is to forcibly integrate other tribes, use Xiao Chen’s supreme power to suppress the tribe, allow tribe people to integrate with each other, give birth to the next generation, and the situation will improve.

“But even so, those tribes that want to join our Gu Yuan tribe must hunt for blood food for us for a year.

This would not only serve as a deterrent to those with ulterior motives, but only through the test of strength can they truly join the Gu Yuan tribe and become a part of us.”

This ‘year’ of blood food does not refer to a time period of one year, but rather a specific quantity, being the entrance test laid out by Xiao Chen for those who wish to join the Gu Yuan tribe.

To satisfy the blood food consumption of the Gu Yuan tribe’s population of 20,000 in one year, we would need about 100 tusks from normal beasts like Wild Boars each day, totaling to 36,500 tusks in a year.

Therefore, every tribe that wishes to join the Gu Yuan tribe must first hunt enough blood food to satisfy us, before officially joining and acquiring the Gu Yuan tribe’s heritage.

The adult Wild Boar is a mid-to-high-level beast, capable of rivaling a sergeant or higher-level warrior among the human war soldiers.

For those defeated human tribes, hunting this beast would be a significant challenge.

“In the coming days, let the brothers of the Dark Hall busier themselves.

They should probe more into the human war tribes far away, and report back any related information as soon as possible.

Even if we want to integrate some tribes into ours, we must distinguish between the good and the bad, and eliminate the termites from them.”

“We’ll surely have our tribespeople investigate thoroughly!”

As a sharp sword under Xiao Chen’s command, the Dark Hall held considerable power, sheltering over fifty warriors of centurion level or under.

Generally, in lower-ranked tribes, warriors of Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm were pivotal figures.

In the Gu Yuan Tribe, they transformed into a sharp sword in Xiao Chen’s hands, hurrying around in the Great Wasteland day and night, constantly sending back information about various movements to the Gu Yuan tribe.
