Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 855 - 840: Gathering the Wild Name, the Change of Title!

Chapter 855: Chapter 840: Gathering the Wild Name, the Change of Title!

An incomparably majestic voice spread across Heaven and Earth, proclaiming the sovereign as surpassing the supreme realm, truly pressing down through the ages, controlling the rise and fall of a clan. His power could penetrate through time and space.

The sovereign, resonating with the Great Dao that operates Heaven and Earth, truly, with a mouth containing heavenly decrees, his words followed by the law.

At this moment, the Eastern Emperor had decreed Xiao Chen as a Divine Marquis, which amounted to a public recognition by the entire Human World Earth, approved by the tribe, recognized by all people of the five realms of Human World, billions upon billions in total.

Rumors said that sovereigns of the human race could even merge temporarily with the will of human fate. In a sense, human emperors also represented the will of the tribe.

This was the will derived from all tribe people since ancient times, the Human Race Will gathered by the number of tribe people as numerous as grains of sand in the Star River, imaginable how immense his power was.

The title of Divine Marquis, unlike the titles earned in battle, required the personal decree of the Human Emperor, which was why the apparition of the Eastern Emperor had descended upon the Border Wasteland.

The Human Emperor connected with the tribe’s will, and the title of Divine Marquis, once decreed by the Human Emperor, naturally rested on fate and was then truly a Divine Marquis.

The same imperial decree to bestow the title of Divine Marquis varied; some were named after the martial arts they perceived, like Ziyang God Marquis, others after names or preferences, and beyond these, the types of titles were incredibly diverse. Yet, Xiao Chen was granted a title based on his fiefdom.

To be named after a noble fief meant a fundamental difference from previous titles. Not everyone could be named after a noble land; the name of the fief represented the person who had the qualifications to carry this title.

If another were given the title of Border Wasteland Divine Marquis without the fate of the Border Wasteland approaching Xiao Chen, they would inevitably not withstand the backlash of the Border Wasteland’s destiny, and forcefully basing it on the Human Race Territories would thus be unseemly. Destiny was profoundly mysterious; to gain the enhancement of fate, one must possess the capacity to carry that particular fate.

This was why many warriors, despite having the chance to be titled Divine Marquis, had to retreat in disappointment and rebuild their reputations in battle!

But Xiao Chen was different, having innate advantages, born and raised in the Border Wasteland, moreover receiving the enhancement of the Border Wasteland’s fate, leading his entire tribe in a fight against the Blood Clan, winning a battle of fate for the Border Wasteland Region.

Such a person thriving with fate, upon receiving the title of Border Wasteland surrounding him, was bound to reap endless benefits!

This was why the Eastern Emperor directly titled Xiao Chen as the Border Wasteland Divine Marquis!

Hum!

As the sovereign declared his decree, words following the law, accompanied by the Eastern Emperor’s voice falling, deep in the sky above, a purple and gold color fate fell down, descending directly towards Xiao Chen.

At Xiao Chen’s brow, a trace of purple-gold ethereal mist also manifested, this mass of mist amorphous, yet it did not have the ancient battle character as before.

A Divine Marquis needed great merits, great perseverance, great fate to be forged; the sovereign’s personal decree was but the first step, but now came the trial by fate.

The title had already been decreed, now it remained to be seen whether he could bear it!

In the Desolate Land, there were warriors who had obtained great merits, eventually received the sovereign’s decree, but ultimately were unable to bear the title, their efforts falling short!

This was because, throughout the ages, all Divine Marquises that had appeared were at the Legendary Realm of Stage Eight Realm Nine Heavens, requiring warriors to be at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens, stepping into the peak condition of a mortal’s life, possessing the strength to become a Divine Marquis.

A Divine Marquis was a kind of fate-based title, the bearer receiving enhancements from fate, battle strength, perceiving the mysteries of heaven and earth, affinity with Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy among other martial arts aspects.

Hum!

As this purple-gold aura fell toward the spot on Xiao Chen’s brow, the ethereal purple-gold mist at his brow became even more replete, and Xiao Chen was wrapped in an endless purple light.

At this moment, all warriors were watching Xiao Chen intently, although they did not understand Xiao Chen’s current situation, but they understood that he was in a critical moment.

The purple-blue ethereal mist was now condensing his title. Since the Eastern Emperor had proclaimed him the Border Wasteland Divine Marquis, it naturally needed to condense the Desolate Character as his talismanic title, once the title condensed, it meant that this title rested on the tribe’s fate, bringing immeasurable benefits.

But in this moment, as fate approached him, he too understood the difference between Divine Marquis and the title earned in battle. Both were different forms in which a Human Warrior could receive the enhancement of fate.

The battle titles ranged from bronze to purple-gold, and whether there was potential elevation after the purple-gold battle title, even with fate approaching him, he likewise didn’t perceive this aspect.

And once he became a titled Divine Marquis, the starting point of the fate enhancement he obtained was on par with the purple-gold battle title.

After Divine Marquis, there was also another level, that of God King, although fate provided a hint, but he did not know whether there were warriors who had obtained the title of God King; the mysteries were indeed too mysterious, like viewing flowers through fog, perhaps there are, perhaps not.

"Border Wasteland Divine Marquis, then let’s condense a Desolate Character!"

With a thought, the ethereal purple-gold mist at Xiao Chen’s brow gradually began to evolve, transforming into an ancient character, Desolate!

Purple light filled the air, containing a peculiar fluctuation within it. Even the surrounding warriors, unable to see this scene, could still feel the emanating fluctuation.

"Desolate!"

Desolation represents antiquity, carrying with it connotations of an enduring past, even spanning untold ages when human tribes could not mark the years, all demarcated by such words as "Desolate Wilds" and "Ancient Desolation."

The same significance applies to the title "Border Wasteland," which is why Xiao Chen intentionally only formed the Desolate Character without incorporating the Border Character.

Hum!

At the moment when the Desolate Character took shape, the Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors all sighed in relief, confident in their Clan Leader’s ability to coalesce a titular name.

Still, their hearts were hoisted up, and now with the title forming, it signified that the test had been passed. In fact, Xiao Chen hadn’t really undergone any trials. Perhaps this was his victory in the battle of destiny, winning the tribe’s collective will’s favor.

Hum!

However, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, an abruptly desolate and ancient aura burst forth from Xiao Chen, an intangible aura that even caused the Celestial Seal King to tremble fiercely, and within the Void, the phantom of East Emperor suddenly manifested a green divine brilliance in his eyes, gazing towards Xiao Chen.

Hmm?

The next moment, a hint of surprise flickered in the eyes of East Emperor, evidently seeing something intriguing on Xiao Chen.

"Interesting fellow, it seems the Border Wasteland Region really heralds the great era. I hope you can grow to shoulder some of the foreign crises for the human race."

Shortly, the surprise in the eyes of East Emperor faded, as he seemingly understood the unusual change in Xiao Chen. With the emperor showing no expression, the Celestial Seal King naturally suppressed his doubts.

The desolation emitting from Xiao Chen was the mark left by the nameless strong one he had encountered in the secret realms of the Void World – another Desolate Character mark. This mark now fused with the title he had consolidated!

This was unforeseen by Xiao Chen!

Hum!

Soon, the desolate and profound aura disappeared, the Desolate Character solidified completely, gleaming purple and gold, enshrouded by Purple Qi.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was a Divine Marquis!

Utilizing the augmented fate from his consolidated title, Xiao Chen realized that although he could not sense the mysteries of heaven and earth as clearly as when the entire Border Wasteland’s destiny had enveloped him, the mysteries he perceived were now five times clearer than before.

The title of Divine Marquis was equivalent to the Purple Gold battle status, initially granting fourfold fate augmentation, but he had fivefold. This additional boost should not be underestimated, as it meant Xiao Chen’s speed of understanding mysteries was twice as fast as other Divine Marquises, comparable only to supreme kings.

"Not bad, your fate is much stronger than I imagined. The title of Divine Marquis has now been entrusted upon the clan’s destiny. Within six months, proceed to the Divine Marquis Palace in the Eastern Emperor Domain to imprint your own Divine Marquis Seal. Ziyang will inform you of the particulars!"

"I look forward to seeing the development of the only one who has become Marquis without becoming a legend throughout the ages!"

As Xiao Chen’s consolidation of the title completed, the voice of East Emperor echoed, and the next moment, without waiting for Xiao Chen’s response, the phantom disappeared.

"Farewell, His Majesty East Emperor!"

Instantly, numerous warriors once again shouted in unison, Xiao Chen also bowed in respect; he was equally unclear in his mind, yet he had consolidated the Divine Marquis title, even integrating that mysterious Desolate Talisman into the title.

The one to become Marquis without legend, unparalleled through the ages!

Although the phantom of East Emperor had dissipated, the multitude of warriors had heard East Emperor’s last remark. They remembered that Xiao Chen was just at the Stage Eight, Towering Realm, one stage short of the Legendary Realm.

"Xiao Clan Leader, praised by East Emperor, is among the few in the entire Eastern Desolate Land who may soon fight side by side!"

Immediately after, a flat boat appeared beneath the Celestial Seal King’s feet, shooting straight into the Vault of Heaven, breaking through the Sky Vault and vanishing into the Void World.

"Farewell, King!"

Right after, many warriors again bowed deeply as before.

However, what followed was a profound silence within both Border Wasteland City and Bronze Ancient City. First came the Desolate God, followed by the Human Emperor to the world; this day was enough to be commemorated by the Border Wasteland Region.

But everyone knew that from this day forward, besides the Human Ancestral Court, Border Wasteland would be dominated by a tremendously powerful tribe, possibly displacing the Human Ancestral Court from this land before long.

Becoming a Divine Marquis without becoming a legend, even proclaimed by the Human Emperor himself that Xiao Chen’s power could defy legends; who in the entire Border Wasteland could compete? Aside from this, Gu Yuan Clan also harbored another legendary strong one, making even the age-old Bai Ze Marquis Division bow down in respect.

All of this had transpired within just a few years; they had witnessed the birth and rise of a tribe to dominate the entire Border Wasteland.

However, there was no longer any need to discuss dominance, for the entire Border Wasteland was now under the jurisdiction of Gu Yuan Clan, and its people were nominally subjects of the clan.
