Chapter 863: Chapter 848: Battle in Another Realm, Inside the Bronze Tower! (Make-up Release 12)

"It is difficult to forge a king, even harder to seal a divine marquis, and to be titled a God King is an utter illusion." There was a hint of melancholy in the Great Hall, but even more so, a sense of helplessness.

Strength differs, and so does perspective; knowledge of secrets naturally becomes more abundant. This aspect, coming from Ziyang God Marquis of the Human Ancestral Court from the East Emperor Palace, naturally knew much more than Xiao Chen.

"The crisis in the Eastern Wasteland is imminent. To be honest, this moment when your Gu Yuan Tribe is granted nobility over the Border Wasteland as its fiefdom is not well-timed. With fortune added to you, there naturally comes the duty to guard this land. Now, several small worlds of foreign races outside the Void are covetously eyeing our Human World, and bloodshed is inevitable."

Soon, Ziyang God Marquis’s words turned back to Xiao Chen. After all, the Gu Yuan Tribe had now received the Imperial Edict and had the qualifications to meddle in the affairs of the entire Border Wasteland.

"God Marquis, the rise and fall of the human race is everyone’s responsibility. My Gu Yuan Tribe was born and raised here; doesn’t this land that forged the Gu Yuan Tribe warrant us to defend it, title or no title?"

Xiao Chen chuckled lightly, understanding the words of Ziyang God Marquis. Now, with the crisis looming over the entire Eastern Wasteland, the Border Wasteland inevitably could not escape, and the Gu Yuan Tribe, having accepted the edict and received the fortune of the entire Border Wasteland, naturally had the responsibility to defend its territory.

"Our human race has proliferated for countless eras; generations of Human Emperors and kings waged wars across the Hundred Clans and invaded the Hundred Realms, and countless tribes have shed their blood on this land, staining the sky with azure blood. How could we possibly surrender this land with clasped hands."

"Exactly!" Originally filled with sighs, Ziyang God Marquis suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, sweeping away his broken momentum, like a rising purple sun.

He then raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if the crisis of foreign races is imminent, with a Human Emperor at the helm, our race’s profound heritage that has accumulated since ancient times will surely rise to fight back against the Hundred Clans, and one day, we will pacify the world of the Hundred Clans."

"Also, you need to quickly handle the clan affairs and head to the Divine Marquis Palace in the Eastern Emperor Domain. You can use the Ancestral Court’s Void Teleportation Array for a direct transfer to the East Emperor Palace in the Eastern Emperor Domain," Ziyang God Marquis then began assigning some tasks to Xiao Chen.

"May I ask, God Marquis, about this foreign race conspiracy stirring up the battle of fortunes and blood, how are the battle conditions in other regions of our race?"

After a while, Xiao Chen spoke up. This battle for fortune and blood sacrifice was not only his Border Wasteland; the entire Eastern Wasteland had dozens of Human Race territories involved, just his part of the Eastern Wasteland South Region included three major Human Race territories in the battle.

"As for other territories of Eastern Wasteland, I do not know. In my Eastern Wasteland South Region, besides my Border Wasteland, there are also the Wind Fire Area and the Central South Region. The Central South Region need not worry; it is an ancient domain of our Human Race, very strong in strength and constantly scrutinized by foreign races."

"Thus, in this battle of fortune, the enemies of the Central South Region are the Demon Dragon lineage of the Lion Dragon Clan of the Demon Race, a very powerful branch with Monster Dragon Bloodline. Although not a royal lineage, their bloodline is still top-notch right below that of kings."

"The Central South Region’s Human Race Battle Division, named the Iron Blood Battle Department, is a legendary marquis department that has lasted 68,000 years, with profound heritage and millions of tribespeople; strong ones abound, hence the battle remains in a stalemate."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but wonder. This was what a real large tribe was like — to have both strength and deep heritage. In vain, he was quite satisfied with the current achievements of the Gu Yuan Tribe, but compared to these tribes, they were still vastly inferior.

Compared to Central South Region’s battle for destiny, perhaps the battle between his Gu Yuan Tribe and the Blood Faint Noble Family was merely trivial, not even on the same level.

"As for the Wind Fire Area..." As he said this, Ziyang God Marquis’s tone became gloomy, evidently the results were not satisfactory.

"The Human Race was defeated!"

"The Human Race’s Xun Wind Battle Department in the Wind Fire Area was annihilated, and most of the Human Race’s fortune in the Wind Fire Area was seized by the Scorpion Clan, and what’s more, the Scorpion Clan paid a great price to bring down a Scorpion Clan War Master to the Wind Fire Area, leveraging the victory of the fortune battle to oppressively dominate the Wind Fire Area."

"Had it not been for you leading the Gu Yuan Tribe to a victory in the fortune battle, perhaps by now our Border Wasteland would have already faced the Blood Clan’s War Masters!"

"However?" Xiao Chen was about to speak but was interrupted by Ziyang God Marquis who continued, "The Scorpion Clan just sent a minor force, not aiming to attack the Human Race, but to wedge a foothold in the Human World. They wait for the Void outside to fully evolve into the real Celestial River, seizing the opportunity to disrupt our Human World. Therefore, we do not have much time."

"Even if this battle for fortune and blood sacrifice is in a stalemate due to the evenly matched strength, it won’t last for more than two years at most, and a conclusion must emerge."

"Two years, eh?"

Xiao Chen murmured, this meant that the Gu Yuan Tribe still had two years to accumulate strength and expand the tribe.

"Xiao Clan Leader, after two years, that is when you and I will stand together, bloodied," Ziyang God Marquis declared.

A quarter hour later, Xiao Chen and Ziyang God Marquis exchanged bows and farewells as they left the Great Hall. This visit to the Human Ancestral Court had been very enlightening for Xiao Chen, and although the Gu Yuan Tribe could not yet fully control the entire Border Wasteland, simply controlling the Border Wasteland wasn’t his desired outcome either.

Thus, today Xiao Chen returned only with the Wild Cauldron that suppressed the luck of the Border Wasteland, while other items such as the stele engraved with the marks of various tribes in the Border Wasteland were still stored in the Ancestral Court.

However, the crisis posed by foreign races made it urgent to enhance the tribe’s strength. The stronger the tribe became, the greater the likelihood they could survive the crisis.

Furthermore, he had heard of the Legendary Marquis Department, which had been passed down for 68,000 years in the Southern Central Domain. This ignited a surge of heroism in Xiao Chen’s heart, as he aspired to compare himself with it.

Upon leaving the Ancestral Court, Xiao Chen did not return to the tribe but instead turned toward another direction and streaked away. There stood a tall bronze tower, which was not the one located in the Gu Yuan Clan Great Hall.

In fact, it was the place where he had attended the Void Trade Festival years ago.

The Bronze Tower.

It counted as a factional power within the Border Wasteland City. Even Xiao Chen had only heard that this faction’s foundation was not in the Border Wasteland; the Border Wasteland Region was merely a branch of it.

Nevertheless, the influence of the Bronze Tower spanned throughout the entire Border Wasteland, and even the Trade Festival, which occurred once every thirty years, held boundless allure for strong individuals from the neighboring territories.

Besides the periodically held Trade Festival, which occurred every several decades, the Bronze Tower also organized trade meetings irregularly. Reminiscing about the past, he had entered the Border Wasteland alone and acquired many treasures at such a meeting, including the egg of a four-star Star Beast, the Dragon Blood Turtle. Now, nurtured with abundant resources provided by the tribe, the Dragon Blood Turtle had advanced to the three-star status.

Who would have thought that, in just ten years, much had changed, and Xiao Chen was visiting the Bronze Tower specifically to meet its tower master?

Months ago, when the Gu Yuan Clan was forming a destiny-binding war pact, the Bronze Tower had even presented the Gu Yuan Clan with one hundred thousand high-grade Yuan stones and a hundred thousand jun of Ore Casting Materials. Naturally, he was there to offer his thanks.

Apart from that, he was also considering trading for some treasures from within the Bronze Tower.

The crisis with alien races had not made the Bronze Tower less busy. On the contrary, due to the crisis, warriors sought to enhance their strengths swiftly, leading to a huge number of them purchasing various items that could enhance their abilities.

In front of the Bronze Tower, there was a team of War Soldiers maintaining order, with a continuous stream of people entering the tower. Aside from holding trade festivals, the Bronze Tower also opened a grand hall on the first floor for trading purposes, as the regular influx of common warriors each day brought considerable profits.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Chen had a faint azure light on his face, making it difficult for others to see his features clearly.

"My lord."

Soon, a warrior who noticed Xiao Chen casually surveying the surroundings approached him. Although he did not exhibit any formidable aura, the warrior felt bewildered; no matter how he observed, Xiao Chen appeared to be just an ordinary warrior.

However, dealing with thousands of warriors daily, these attendants had developed a keen eye for detail and promptly approached.

"May I know what kind of treasures you need, my lord? The items on this floor are intended for ordinary warriors. For Towering Realm warriors like yourself, necessary resources are on the second floor. Our Bronze Tower has all sorts of weapons, armors, Spirit Medicines, and Spirit Fruits."

"Even the elixirs crafted by the Gu Yuan Marquis from our Border Wasteland’s first big tribe, including those made by the Divine Marquis of the Border Wasteland Region, Xiao, are available for sale here."

However, the servant’s next words made Xiao Chen somewhat amused and exasperated. The elixirs he had crafted had apparently become a lure to attract warriors, but this was not something entirely implausible.

There had been elixir trades between the Gu Yuan Clan and many tribes of the Border Wasteland Region. Some of the elixirs used by the Towering Realm warriors were indeed crafted by his hand. As for how they ended up in this Bronze Tower, that was not his concern anymore.

"I have heard that there is a Hundred Treasures Pavilion inside the Bronze Tower, housing treasures that are unmatched in the Border Wasteland."

Xiao Chen said softly.

Upon hearing this, the attendant’s eyes instantly brightened. Since Xiao Chen referred to himself as "this revered one," he must indeed be a venerable being. His mention of visiting the Hundred Treasures Pavilion seemed like good fortune for the attendant.

As long as this unknown reverend lord selected an item from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he would receive considerable rewards from within the tower. Thinking of this, the attendant was invigorated.

"Indeed, my lord, the treasures in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of our Bronze Tower truly are the finest in the Border Wasteland. Beings as venerable as yourself, lord, will surely find satisfactory items in the pavilion."

"Let’s go," said Xiao Chen softly.

Upon hearing this, the attendant promptly led Xiao Chen deeper into the Bronze Tower. His current visit to the tower was quite different from his last, but Xiao Chen understood that the tower housed a spatial formation. Given the endless space variations, changes were quite normal.

This time, he came looking for treasures capable of opening attribute-specific worlds.

The Ice World created in the Mountains and Rivers Seal had inspired him. Gathering Heavenly and Earthly treasures of various attributes to create corresponding worlds would bring countless benefits to the development of the tribe.
