"Long live the chieftain!"

The voices were like a tide, one wave after another, converging from all directions around the Gu Yuan Tribe, with millions of tribe people simultaneously shouting, all prostrating on the ground, creating a resounding roar.

Among those who entered the Gu Yuan Tribe to attend the grand ceremony were numerous warriors and rangers, also surrounded by this tidal wave, but their hearts were filled only with awe.

This was the carnival of the Gu Yuan Tribe; although they were also attracted by this momentum, deep down, they understood that this did not belong to them.

Not far from the altar, two beautiful figures, one in green and one in blue, stood embracing each other, looking at Xiao Chen on top of the altar, weeping with joy.

The figure on the altar had already been imprinted in their hearts, becoming a part of their lives.

In Mu Qing’s eyes, Xiao Chen had succeeded. Ten years ago, the Gu Yuan Tribe was just a minor tribe in the Desolate Wilds, with a domain less than ten thousand miles wide and barely known. Yet now, he was leading the once small tribe to ascend to legend, wielding power over one region, and his influence shook many realms.

This was her husband!

As his wife, she was equally elated for him!

This was the iron-blooded empire of a man!

The fervent tide of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s people lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it finally calmed down.

The Gu Yuan Tribe ascended to the status of Legendary Marquis Department, but the ceremony was far from over. The Gu Yuan ascent to legend was a grand event for the Gu Yuan Tribe alone, but what followed was a matter concerning all the tribes in the Border Wasteland!

Ruling the Border Wasteland!

Woo Woo Woo!

The sounds of bells and drums subsided for a moment, leaving only the deep, desolate, and protracted sound of the horn, which made people look up involuntarily.

The Ziyang God Marquis had also arrived at the Gu Yuan Tribe unnoticed, but he too did not stand on the altar, for today, the altar was meant only for Xiao Chen!

"We can begin now."

Clad in an opulent Purple Snake Robe, adorned with cloud patterns of a blazing sun, the Ziyang God Marquis was now the high priest presiding over the ceremony.

During this ceremony, Xiao Chen had to act according to his guidance.

In a moment, the Ziyang God Marquis unfolded a scroll in his hand and began to proclaim loudly.

"Legendary Gu Yuan, has rendered great services to the Border Wasteland Human Tribe, favored by fortune, receives the imperial edict under the Eastern Emperor Crown, bestowed with land as a reward to the meritorious vassal, granted the Border Wasteland as the fief."

Accompanied by the high shouts of Ziyang God Marquis, the sound of bells, drums, and horns once again erupted.

"The Sealing and Offering Ceremony begins!"

Following this, a thousand Gu Yuan Tribe children approached the altar. These children were around ten years of age, both boys and girls, moving with rhythm and precision, their young faces tense with solemnity.

These one thousand children were divided into five groups, each group consisting of two hundred individuals, both boys and girls mixed, all heading towards the altar.

At the north of the altar, the first group of two hundred children wore black clothes without any decoration.

To the East, another group of two hundred children wore green clothes, also devoid of any decoration, simple green garments.

The children from the West, also numbering two hundred, wore white clothes; the children from the South donned red, and the central group of two hundred children wore yellow!

The five directions, five colors; it was rumored that the Desolate Wilds had five divine soils. When the ancient Desolate Human Emperor established the human realm, the five directions of the human world offered up five-colored divine soil, together forging the human race’s sacrificial altar.

These thousand-plus children clad in differently colored clothes represented the five-colored divine soils, the colors of the Human World.

And in front of these thousands of youngsters, also at the base of the altar, were placed the heavy bronze equipment for the sacrificial rites.

These bronze heavy items were divided into three major categories: ceremonial tripods, Blood Wine vessels, and Blood Food vessels.

There were nine tripods, nine being the supreme number, intended for ritual use!

The Blood Wine equipment, also made of bronze, was composed of jugs, goblets, cups, urns, and chalices; the Blood Food equipment included tripods, cooking pots, and containers—Natural for a human tribe’s offering, which necessitated Blood Wine and Blood Food.

At this moment, these bronze vessels were filled with Blood Wine and Blood Food; the Blood Wine was brewed using Heavenly grade spirit medicine, and the Blood Food was made from cuisine of Exotic Beasts with four stars and above!

The fragrant medicine filled the air, and many warriors smelled it, feeling their Blood Qi surge and Combat Qi stir; merely the diffused aroma caused their internal realms to show signs of loosening.

At a distance from the altar, those warriors who had come to participate in the ceremony revealed shock in their eyes. Anyone who could enter the Gu Yuan Tribe was at least a warrior of the Towering Realm.

"Heavenly grade spirit medicine, four-star Exotic Beasts!"

"What a grand gesture. Just these tripods of Blood Food and Blood Wine, used for the ritual, could exhaust the reserves of our tribe’s foundation,"

some warriors whispered among themselves. Each component used was of Heavenly grade spirit medicine, none under the fifth level; regarding the beastly cuisine, all were from four-star Exotic Beasts or higher, each capable of matching a Human Race Venerable in strength!

As the bells and drums sounded together, the Ziyang God Marquis, the high priest, held a Beast Skin scroll in his hands, solemnly reciting aloud, invoking an ancient and vast sacrificial text.

"Since time immemorial, since Chaos was separated, the emergence of the Desolate Lands began, the Earth expansive, mountains majestic, spirits gathered, the awakening began!"

After reciting some records about the Desolate Land, the Ziyang God Marquis finally shouted loudly, and suddenly, the Beast Skin scroll in his hand started to emit green smoke and burned up completely.

This peculiar green smoke did not whirl up into the sky but fell to the Earth, absorbed by some mysterious existence.

Standing on the sacrificial altar, Xiao Chen also vaguely sensed the presence of this mysterious entity, which absorbed the green smoke, naturally inheriting the information originally recorded on the beast skin scroll.

The Earth has a spirit!

The Gu Yuan Tribe wished to merge with the Border Wasteland, necessitating not just a fusion of fates but also a resonance with the whole Border Wasteland Region, which essentially meant the Earth veins of the entire region.

It was similar to the Gu Yuan Tribe’s initial encounter at Dragon Fall Ridge, which was merely a minor branch of Earth veins, whereas now, the tribe needed the main vein of the entire Border Wasteland!

The Earth Dragon Vein of the Border Wasteland Region!

These sacrificial offerings were meant to awaken the Dragon Vein hidden beneath the earth. Intangible and constantly shifting, these veins were hard for ordinary warriors to locate.

"Sacrifice!"

Accompanied by the sound of Ziyang God Marquis’s voice, a thousand tribe children in front of him began to sing a long ritual song, with bells and drums echoing in unison.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, continuous booming sounds erupted from the vessels filled with slowly offered Blood Wine and Blood Food, turning into a sky-filled fog.

Then, this mass of fog, too, began to seep into the ground below, absorbed by some mysterious force.

"Sacrifice!"

When the bronze vessels used for the sacrifice had emptied, Ziyang God Marquis called out once more.

The Blood Wine and Blood Food previously prepared by the Gu Yuan Tribe were evidently insufficient to summon the spirit of the Border Wasteland’s Earth veins.

Thunderous booming!

Immediately in front of the altar, a giant pit a thousand feet in size appeared.

The next moment, squads of captured Survivors of the Exotic Clan were dragged up by the Gu Yuan Tribe Soldiers and brought to the edge of the massive pit. Amidst their pitiful shrieks, they were slain by the Tribal Warriors and thrown into the pit, their hot blood flowing.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

These exiled foreign tribesmen, merely common soldiers of exotic tribes, had been captured by the Gu Yuan Tribe over these days; despite their lamentations, the surrounding humans showed no mercy.

Inside the pit, the corpses of the exotic tribe gradually accumulated, soon piling up to half the depth of the pit, their fresh blood flowing and creating a bloody gleam with a dense scent of blood filling the air.

In less than half an hour, tens of thousands of Foreign Warriors were slain and cast into the pit, their blood spreading to the skies, overpowering even the continuous burning of fragrant incense.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen, standing atop the altar, let out a fierce shout!

Immediately afterward, everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene: in the Void, a blood light flashed, and an exotic tribe member appeared out of nowhere, only to be bisected by Xiao Chen and fall into the pit, stacking atop other corpses of the exotic tribe.

This was a legendary strong one from the Blood Clan!

"Kill! Kill!"

However, Xiao Chen did not cease his actions, continuing to shout fiercely, and above the Void, the blood light lingered while two more strong ones of the exotic tribe were cleaved in half, their blood scattering and falling into the pit!

Legendary strong ones.

A total of three legendary figures from the exotic tribes were used by Xiao Chen as sacrificial offerings and cast into the pit!

These three members of the exotic tribe were just unfortunate, having been devoured by the fog of ink outside the chaotic void, unwittingly becoming sacrificial offerings for the Gu Yuan Tribe!

"Today, the Gu Yuan offers numerous sacrifices to awaken the spirit of the Border Wasteland!"

Following this, a vehement shout came from Xiao Chen, with purple and gold color ethereal mist manifesting at his brow, accompanying the shout as it fell into the deep pit!

This was a flame transformed by the human race’s fate, capable of reducing even the bones of the exotic legendary strong ones to ashes!

Boom!

Suddenly, the pit blazed like dry wood meeting fierce flames, a purple-blood light soaring into the sky, as the blood and bones of the exotic tribe began to burn.

At the same time, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe also poured spices, sandalwood, and ample amounts of fragrant incense pills into the pit.

In an instant, the vast pit turned into a giant blaze, where even some vague figures appeared amidst the flames, only to be consumed by the fire.

Thousands of exotic tribe members were turned into sacrificial offerings, with some even twitching as they were turned to ashes by the roaring flames, the copious amounts of spices and sandalwood also turning into ashes in the flames.

Mountains of white ashes drifted with the wind, dispersing over the Border Wasteland, while the essence of the burnt exotic tribe offerings vanished into thin air, merging with the earth below.

When the last exotic tribe’s corpse turned to ash, releasing energy that seeped into the ground below,

Buzz!

A buzz resonated between heaven and earth, and above the altar, divine brilliance in five colors shone, soon after a phantom image of the entire Border Wasteland floated out of nowhere!

An illusory map of the Border Wasteland!

Almost simultaneously, in the eyes of all warriors, a phantom flashed by, so fleeting that no one could capture its form!

What could it be!
