Chapter 853 - 838: Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict, Sealing the Borderlands!

Chapter 853: Chapter 838: Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict, Sealing the Borderlands!

A lone flatboat, a solitary figure standing upright, yet causing heaven and earth to pale in comparison, for he was the Supreme Monarch that could only emerge among the countless myriads of the Human Bloodline, and this man was none other than the Celestial Seal King, Yin Cangqiong!

Under his witness on that day, the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Blood Faint Noble Family of the Blood Clan had established a pact for a destiny-forging blood sacrifice battle. Now, the Gu Yuan Tribe had annihilated the Blood Faint Noble Family, winning the battle of destiny sealed in blood.

Moreover, it had caused the fortunes of the Border Wasteland to double, becoming even more prosperous. Naturally, the return of the Celestial Seal King to the Border Wasteland City fell within reason.

Even on that day, the Celestial Seal King had stated in golden words that if Xiao Chen led the Gu Yuan Tribe to obliterate the Blood Clan, there would be unimaginable rewards.

"Pay respects to the Human King!"

After a brief silence, Ziyang God Marquis, leading numerous warriors, raised their salutations to the figure above the Void with a high shout.

"Pay respects to the Human King!"

In an instant, outside the Bronze Ancient City, there came a tidal wave of shouts, with countless warriors kneeling on the ground, shouting loudly, their eyes filled with immense respect.

The Human King was the real pillar supporting the Human Bloodline against the foreign tribes. It could be said that each Human King was a towering jade pillar, holding up the four corners of the Human Realm.

To the Border Wasteland Region, the Human King was a legendary existence. In the vast territory of the Human World’s Eastern Wasteland Southern Domain, the apparent number of Supreme Monarchs did not exceed the count of one hand, and even if including some hermit monarchs, it hardly went beyond two hands.

Across the vast territories of the Eastern Wasteland, with dozens and hundreds of regions like the Border Wasteland, in the surrounding areas of the Border Wasteland, not to mention monarchs, even legendary strong ones were few and far between.

"Rise."

The voice of the Celestial Seal King easily penetrated into everyone’s mind. The next moment, the Monarch vanished from mid-air, seemingly appearing out of nowhere atop the city wall of the Bronze Ancient City.

"After more than ten days of blood battles, obliterating the Blood Clan Family, uplifting our Human Tribe’s dignity, and swallowing the Blood Clan’s destiny, the merit of the Gu Yuan Marquis Division of the Human Tribe is indispensable."

The next moment, the Celestial Seal King’s gaze swept across the entire Bronze Ancient City, finally resting upon Xiao Chen, and then his voice rose. Although his gaze was very calm, Xiao Chen felt as if he had been suppressed by an Ancient Mountain, experiencing an incomparable sense of oppression.

"You have done very well!"

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Xiao Chen. To be praised by a Monarch and recognized by a Monarch was an unparalleled honor for countless warriors.

"The junior does not dare to take credit, the victory of the blood sacrifice battle belongs to the millions of brethren of the Gu Yuan Tribe. It is they who fought bloodily and laid down their lives slaughtering the Blood Clan."

Xiao Chen’s voice rang out. Facing the king of the human tribe, a presence he too looked up to, his tone was heavy and extremely solemn.

"Regardless, in this blood battle, the Border Wasteland has won the battle of destiny, severed the foreign tribe’s conspiracy, and this merit is genuine and witnessed by the billions of tribal people of the Border Wasteland."

Once again, the Celestial Seal King’s voice resounded, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He, along with several other Human Kings, was tasked with defending the Eastern Wasteland Southern Domain, with the Border Wasteland falling right under his jurisdiction. Defeating the foreign tribe’s conspiracy for the entire Eastern Wasteland had significant repercussions.

"Remember the day when you established the destiny battle pact with the Blood Clan, I had said that if you could sever the conspiracy of the foreign tribes and win the battle of destiny in blood, I would plea before the Eastern Wasteland Emperor’s Crown on your behalf for your great service!"

The voice of the Celestial Seal King was indifferent, immediately stirring shock among the surrounding warriors. Many present around the Bronze Ancient City were the same warriors who had been there when the blood battle was established. This was precisely why they felt so astonished.

A Monarch’s word was as precious as gold and jade, and naturally, there would be no lies. When the Celestial Seal King had spoken such words on that day, he surely had confidence in them. A Monarch’s word was irreversible, and his presence today was naturally to fulfill the reward promised that day!

Imperial Edict of an Enfeoffed Territory!

This reward was simply too great, far beyond anyone’s imagination.

"Very well, if you can defeat the Blood Clan and ensure that our Human Tribe’s destiny remains unextinguished, I shall request permission from beneath the Eastern Emperor Crown to enfeoff the Border Wasteland land to Gu Yuan, allowing your tribe’s legacy to be passed down through generations!"

Above the Sky Vault, a colossal figure materialized, towering and majestic, booming a voice that resonated across the earth.

This was the scene when the destiny battle pact was made that day, and even now, as Xiao Chen reminisced, it remained incredibly vivid.

"Alright, today I’ve come, naturally, to fulfill the promise of that day. The Gu Yuan Tribe has battled bloodily and contributed to the Human Tribe. The Eastern Wasteland Human Emperor Palace will naturally have rewards!"

Weng!

Immediately after, countless warriors felt a mysterious energy surge, instantly gripping their minds. Like spring rain nurturing plants, it silently merged into their spirits, an energy from across ancient times erupting atop the city wall of the Bronze Ancient City.

Human Emperor’s Imperial Command!

Ziyang God Marquis exclaimed in shock. In the hands of the Celestial Seal King was a purple and gold scroll with a sheen of brilliance, an aura so smooth and gentle, yet it influenced the spirit of everyone.

It was not the domineering and overwhelming force that Supreme Monarchs typically inflicted, but a subtler energy that, no matter how much one struggled, could not be resisted.

"No, this is not a Human Emperor’s Imperial Command, it is a Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict!"

However, in the next moment, the Ziyang God Marquis had already realized the distinction; the Human Emperor’s Imperial Command, and the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict were but a single character apart, yet the difference in their ranks was enormous.

The Imperial Command from the Human Emperor -- the emperor among the people, capable of suppressing an entire realm -- even in today’s Human Realm where the five directions of the great lands have but five reigning Human Emperors. Each one, holding the constitutional mandate, whose words become law, possessed immense and towering power. The decree issued personally by the Human Emperor is called the Imperial Command.

As for the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict, it merely carries a trace of the emperor’s aura, imprinted by the emperor who anchors the human tribe. This pillar of the Human Tribe, overshadowing the vastness of the Desolate Wilds Earth, naturally does not personally attend to every matter; these affairs are handled by the Palace of the Human Emperor.

In the five directions of the Human Realm’s vast lands, there are five great Human Emperor Palaces. Combined, they are the Human Ancestral Court, and the Border Wasteland Human Ancestral Court is but a tiny branch of it.

Within the headquarters of the Ancestral Court in the five directions, lies the Palace of the Human Emperor. Many elders from the palace assist in handling all sorts of affairs on the Human World’s great lands, and not all matters require seeking the Human Emperor’s direct orders. In reality, many matters are deliberated and decided by the elders, but when issuing decrees, they need to employ the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict.

Therefore, to avoid trouble, the Human Emperor would pre-emptively imprint some blank scrolls with the royal seal. When the time comes to issue a decree, the elders of the Human Emperor Palace only need to record the command on the blank scroll imprinted with the Human Emperor’s seal.

Even so, an Imperial Edict carrying the aura of the Human Emperor is exceedingly rare because this strand of royal aura is connected to the Human Emperor. If the imperial decree recorded by the elders of the Human Emperor Palace is sensed by the Human Emperor and the latter is dissatisfied, the scroll would not record the command!

Thus, any command imprinted on the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict is definitely approved by the Human Emperor!

It would also make sense, as the Ziyang God Marquis realized, the Gu Yuan Tribe had won the battle for the human tribe’s fate but was ultimately just a Marquis and Battle Division.

It wasn’t even among the highest tier of Marquis – the Legendary Marquis Department. Only the Supreme King Tribes and the Supreme Kings could receive the Imperial Commands of the Human Emperor.

To have received the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict was already beyond Ziyang God Marquis’s expectations. When he was initially ordered to come to the Border Wasteland, he only received a regular Imperial Command from the Ancestral Court.

"The Gu Yuan Clan, blood staining the Vault of Heaven, did not fail the heavy trust of countless tribe people of the Border Wasteland, securing the fate of the Border Wasteland Human Tribe unharmed, bestowing great meritorious service upon the Border Wasteland Human Tribe."

The Celestial Seal King, who had brought out the Human Emperor’s Imperial Edict, spoke up again.

"With great meritorious service naturally comes great reward. Xiao Chen of the Gu Yuan Tribe, heed the decree!!"

"Xiao Chen of the Gu Yuan Tribe leads the Gu Yuan Clan in obedience to the decree!"

In an instant, Xiao Chen’s figure shook, he exhaled softly and bowed deeply in salute.

The Gu Yuan Tribe accepts the decree!

Hum!

The golden scroll flew into the Void above, ballooning in the wind, slowly unfolding until it reached midair, where it had turned into a scroll that eclipsed the sun, even covering the entire Bronze Ancient City.

On it were ancient purple and gold seal characters, each a hundred zhang tall, and emanating an indescribable aura.

In the Desolate Human Realm, the Human Emperor decrees:

The Border Wasteland Region, the Human Realm’s homeland, where clans proliferate and legacy continues from generation to generation. The foreign tribes run rampant, the Earth soaks in blood, the Blood Clan ravages, crossing realms to challenge, shrouding clan fate in dust, and seeking to bring down the Border Wasteland.

Luckily, the Gu Yuan rose in the Wilderness, waged war against the Blood Clan, their whole tribe battling fiercely, enduring bloody combat, their blood spilled by their kin. Eventually, they secured victory, countless tribe people were spared from disaster,

Meritorious service to the clan earns deserved reward.

The young Gu Yuan Tribe of the Border Wasteland may have been established not long ago, but its battle honors are testified by the Border Wasteland, their strength as descendants of the Human Bloodline is evident. After deliberation by many elders of the East Emperor Palace, I enfeoff millions of li of the Border Wasteland Region in the Human Realm to the Gu Yuan Clan as their ancestral land.

As long as the Gu Yuan exists, the territory will forever endure!

As long as the bloodline continues, the enfeoffed territory will forever remain!

Hum, hum, hum!

The sound of the heavenly decree rang out like thunder, travelling to the ears of all nearby, and the rumbling voice that fell was like a thunderclap, leaving the ears of many warriors still buzzing. It took several breaths before they were able to come to their senses.

Enfeoffment of noble land!

Indeed, the Border Wasteland Region was conferred as the noble land of the Gu Yuan Tribe; from this moment on, the millions of li of the Border Wasteland now belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe, nominally; all the people living on this land would be subjects of the Gu Yuan Tribe in name.

From this moment, the status of the Gu Yuan Tribe in the Border Wasteland Region would be on par with the Border Wasteland Human Ancestral Court.

Although the Human Emperor’s decree converted this land into the noble land of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe merely had nominal rule over the land, and these tribes were only titularly subordinate to the Gu Yuan Tribe – the tribe could not restrict them; however, the annual tributes were indispensable!

But this wasn’t the most important part; the key was that, with the Human Emperor’s decree, the Gu Yuan Tribe’s integration into this vast land was legitimate, genuinely connecting with the fate of the land above, which would bring incomparable benefits for the future development of the tribe!
