Chapter 965: Chapter 948: Issuing Imperial Orders to All Departments, Soul Power Promotion!

[Seeking recommendations!]

The high monument loomed, emitting an indescribable oppression, a great sorrow that reached deep into the soul, to which Xiao Chen respectfully saluted.

After standing up, Xiao Chen remained silent for a long time, relying on the inheritance and fate boosting divine objects of the Purple Snake Marquis Clan, the Gu Yuan Tribe had reached today’s heights.

The faint scent of sandalwood wafted through the Great Hall as incense smoke rose, and Xiao Chen likewise offered incense and prayers.

"Gu Yuan has inherited Purple Snake, thus flourishing with fate, unparalleled in the Border Wasteland. Xiao Chen carries forward the will of our ancestors, tirelessly day and night, daring not to slacken, advancing through bloodshed, all for fear of failing the ancestors’ expectations," he announced.

"Over a decade of blood-soaked battles has finally led to Gu Yuan’s current might, blessed with fate, enabling Gu Yuan to accept the Imperial Command, to govern a domain of the Border Wasteland, and to lead hundreds of millions of tribe people. Since ancient times, endless calamities have befallen the Border Wasteland. Lives have been sacrificed, tribes burned, and bones littered the fields. Having inherited the Imperial Command, it is my duty to protect our tribe and ensure the people’s safety, and to lead the hundreds of thousands of Gu Yuan Warriors as they patrol the Mountains and Rivers."

"Yet the strength of Gu Yuan alone is not enough to suppress a region. Therefore, Xiao Chen wishes to bestow titles to various tribes. However, fate is a profound mystery, and without the support of fate boosting divine objects, tribes struggle to unite," he continued.

"For this reason, I dare to borrow the fate boosting divine artifact from the inheritance of the Purple Snake, and hereby notify the spirits of the ancestors!"

Xiao Chen’s voice echoed in the Great Hall repeatedly, then once more he bowed deeply.

Previously, the clan elders had discussed establishing a safe passage through dangerous terrain, issuing an Imperial Command for roaming warriors to form tribes and systems. Xiao Chen had agreed to forge for them divine objects to suppress their fate.

Xiao Chen came for this purpose. Other divine metals are rare, and fate boosting divine metals are even harder to come by. His intentions set firmly on the Altar of the Enshrined King positioned before him.

This was a divine artifact capable of stabilizing top-tier Legendary Marquis Departments. If it were not for the fact that the Gu Yuan Tribe had recently acquired the Wild Cauldron to suppress the Border Wasteland Region, the Altar of the Enshrined King would still be stabilizing the fate of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

For the roaming warriors, it was easy to gather tribe people and establish a tribe. The challenge was to unite their hearts and prevent collapse, possible only with a fate boosting divine object. However, acquiring such an object was extremely difficult.

The Altar of the Enshrined King was quite large, almost ten feet tall, and if divided, it could yield over a hundred fate boosting divine objects that could stabilize medium-tier Battle Divisions.

Originally, when the Gu Yuan Tribe had not yet developed, the Border Wasteland Region had ten high-tier Battle Divisions, eighty-nine medium-tier Battle Divisions, and one Marquis-tier Battle Division.

Now, aside from the Gu Yuan Tribe itself, the previously three great high-tier Battle Divisions of the Sky Platform, Crystal Stone, and Heavenly Lake have successively advanced to the Marquis-tier Battle Division level. Of the remaining seven high-tier Battle Divisions, only two survived after several years of warfare, with five high-tier Battle Divisions destroyed consecutively!

There are now just over fifty medium-tier Battle Divisions left. As for the low-tier Battle Divisions, too many have been destroyed to count accurately.

Upon the Vast Land, in the vast Border Wasteland, human war divisions that could once be counted have, in a few short years, suffered destruction to a third of their number.

This does not even include the fallen tribe people. As the Gu Yuan Tribe had recently taken control of the Border Wasteland, enfeoffing various divisions was inevitable!

Hum!

From Xiao Chen’s brow, the fate aura of the title of Divine Marquis materialized, a purple and gold fate surge like a wild tide directed at the Altar of the Enshrined King.

Fate boosting divine gold cannot be refined with ordinary flame, only with the fire ignited by the power of fate can it be refined.

In an instant, the ancient Altar of the Enshrined King was surrounded by a purple gold ethereal mist and was rapidly consumed by roaring purple flames, warping within the fire.

In the Elder Hall.

Ding Shan rushed back, having discussed the opening of the safe passage in the southeastern region of the Border Wasteland with many elders.

"I believe it would be better to use Soul Severing Mountain as a stronghold, building a city between the two peaks. In this way, we can advance or retreat as we please. That area is vast and sparsely populated. Even if our Gu Yuan Tribe puts in a great effort to eradicate the exotic beasts there, it will merely be a drain on manpower and resources, to little avail," explained Ding Shan as he depicted the actual terrain of the Southern Region of the Border Wasteland to the tribe’s elders. With Xiao Chen absent, the seven heads of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s grand halls, along with a group of honored clan elders, formed an elder council to negotiate the tribe’s most challenging issues.

"I agree with Lord Ding’s view. That territory is too desolate, and humans are scarce. Even if a passage is opened, it will be an effort with little utility," quickly responded the Grand Elder, approving Ding Shan’s suggestion. His gaze shifted towards the Kunyu Complete Map in the middle of everyone, pointing at the location of Soul Severing Mountain, before speaking again, "Taking Soul Severing Mountain as the boundary and controlling the passage that leads to the heart of Border Wasteland through those mountains, if necessary, we can clear it when the Gu Yuan Tribe has the extra manpower."

"I concur with the proposal!"

"Concur!"

...

Soon, the elders reached a resolution, and with Soul Severing Mountain as the node in the safe passage of the southeastern Border Wasteland, Ding Shan’s figure quickly exited the Elder Hall, hurrying back towards the southeastern region.

"Master Xiao, have all the various ritual vessels for the sacrifice been forged?" With Ding Shan’s departure, the elders’ assembly continued.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the ritual bells, bronze horns, armor, bronze incense burners, and bronze cauldrons for the sacrifice have all been forged," replied Xiao Lin of the Divine Weapon Hall, rising to his feet.

"Are the other halls ready as well?" The Grand Elder then turned to the other hall masters.

"In the Performing Martial Arts Hall, one thousand children have completed their Foundation Building in martial arts. Half are boys and half are girls, and they have already commenced rehearsals of the ceremonial rites related to the sacrifice," reported Tie Wen immediately.

"Hundred Herbs Hall has prepared the ritual incense pills required for the sacrifice. The production is complete!

"Dark Guard Hall is also ready!"

"Good," nodded the Grand Elder, lifting his voice with affirmation, then once more spoke out, "This time, it is not only the Gu Yuan Tribe ascending as a Legendary Marquis Department, but it is also the moment we accept the command to govern the Border Wasteland from the Human Ancestral Court. Elders, we must not make any mistakes!"

"Should there be any oversight, clan rules will show no mercy!"

"Master Xiao, the tribe leader had said earlier that this time the offering should be held outside the Stone Garden, where the Wild Cauldron is located. Remember, the sacrificial altar needs to be sturdy enough to withstand the pressure of fate!"

"The main body of the sacrificial altar has been forged by the gods from the Earth, plus over a dozen types of other divine metals, sufficient to withstand the pressure of fate!"

Hearing this, the Grand Elder nodded his head. During the discussions in the Bronze Ancient City about evolution, a huge square had already been set aside outside the Stone Garden, where the Wild Cauldron and spirit wills of the Border Wasteland’s divine items were located. It was reserved for this very offering.

This time the sacrificial altar would be placed outside the Stone Garden!

"Alright, my fellow elders, as the Gu Yuan ascends to legend, it will officially rule over the Border Wasteland. It will also be when the mid-tier and high-tier Marquis Clans from the Border Wasteland Region come to pay homage to their lord."

Upon hearing this, many elders could not help but burst into laughter. In a few days, the Gu Yuan Tribe would truly stand at the pinnacle of the Border Wasteland, commanding tens of thousands of humans and myriad tribes!

Countless tribes coming to pay homage!

This is the glory of a tribe!

After enduring bloody battles, the Gu Yuan Tribe has finally reached such heights!

An hour later.

In the sky above the outside of the Gu Yuan Tribe Mountain City, the screeching of eagles could be heard. Numerous massive Qingyu Desolate Eagles circled with wings wide enough to cover the sky.

Atop each Qingyu Desolate Eagle stood a robust figure.

These were the five Qiu brothers. From once being lone rangers, they now hold honored positions of reverence, with the eldest brother, Qiu Hu, even ranking in the seventh heaven of the Towering Realm.

"Second brother, head to the western part of the Border Wasteland to inform the tribes along the way of the Gu Yuan Clan’s sacrifice and ascension to legend."

"Third brother, head to the southern part of the Border Wasteland!"

"Fourth brother, head to the eastern part of the Border Wasteland!"

"Fifth brother, head to the northern part of the Border Wasteland!"

"Yes!"

The next moment, accompanied by a roar in unison, the massive Desolate Eagles spread their wings and let out a piercing cry, carrying the warriors on their backs off in all directions.

The oldest of the five brothers, Qiu Hu, also rode a Desolate Eagle towards the eastern part of the Border Wasteland. He had other tasks, going beyond the Border Wasteland Region to other areas!

At this moment, Xiao Chen, while separating the Sacrificial King Cauldron, had fallen into a trance.

In fact, when Xiao Chen transformed fate into a purple flame of fate, enveloping the entire Sacrificial King Cauldron, he felt a vast and explosive spiritual will burst forth, rushing towards his spirit.

"What is this!"

Xiao Chen was shocked; these were thoughts belonging to the human race.

Instantly, Xiao Chen realized that the Sacrificial King Cauldron, as an artifact of fate suppressing the exotic tribes, was the spiritual reliance of all the tribespeople. Over time, remnants of thoughts naturally remained.

However, Xiao Chen found these residual thoughts to be quite fragmented and chaotic, and ancient, as if most of the information they contained had been eroded away, leaving only the remnants of soul power.

Purple Snake Clan Members!

Xiao Chen’s eyes revealed shock. The Sacrificial King Cauldron had only suppressed the Gu Yuan Tribe for just over a decade, but as the divine artifact of fate for the Purple Snake Tribe, it had at least suppressed the Purple Snake Tribe’s fate for ten thousand years. The branding of generations of tribespeople left spiritual wills behind, which made sense!

Vaguely, Xiao Chen saw the thoughts of the Purple Snake Tribe’s members, their voices multiplying, fighting bloody battles. These residual spiritual thoughts stretched from the founding of the Purple Snake Tribe to their destruction, spanning ten thousand years.

Even though eroded, Xiao Chen could barely discern some of the information contained within the thoughts.

But these thoughts had lost their essence, void of vitality. If it weren’t for Xiao Chen’s intention to divide the Sacrificial King Cauldron today, he would never have discovered the existence of the residual thoughts of the Purple Snake Clan Members hidden deep within the cauldron.

This was his fate!

Although these soul powers were mottled, they covered the entire history of the Purple Snake Tribe through ten thousand years, the spiritual thoughts of generations of tribespeople.

Not every tribesperson had the ability to imprint their thoughts, and each thread was not strong, but the sheer quantity was overwhelming, like a vast ocean, almost bursting Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea.

Hum!

From between his brows, the Divine Marquis’s ethereal mist grew increasingly divine. Xiao Chen took out a Jade Bottle from his hand and without looking, he poured its contents directly into his mouth.

Divine Soul Pills!

Although there were many but very mottled soul powers, if Xiao Chen wanted to refine them to enhance his own strength, he needed to be cautious, for the fierce chaos of these soul powers could easily cause his mind to go awry.

As the Divine Soul Pills entered his stomach, they dissolved instantly, producing a pure stream of soul power blending directly into Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea, bringing clarity to its chaos and providing Xiao Chen with a moment of lucidity to begin refining the remnants of thoughts within his Soul Sea.

Ps The tribe leader had some drinks last night, and only today did I realize that I had caused a mess. Yesterday’s Chapter made some of us tear up...
