Chapter 973 - 956: Separately Awarding Imperial Edict to 63 Seats!

Chapter 973: Chapter 956: Separately Awarding Imperial Edict to 63 Seats!

The practice of territorial division originated in the dark ages of the Desolate Wilds, when the Human Emperor of the ancient times was still in the world, unifying the Human Realm and conducting the first-ever division among the human race.

In that era, the division among the Human Race of the Desolate Wilds was that of various territories within the Human Realm, dividing the Human Realm into five vast lands, each then further divided into hundreds of Human Race Territories.

The division placed Strong Ones in charge of each territory to lead the human race. Naturally, with thousands of minor and major territories within the Human Realm, it was impossible for there to be that many Strong Ones to individually guard each territory. Therefore, apart from the division where Strong Ones governed some of the Human Race Territories, there were also territories without Strong Ones where warriors from the Ancestral Court were sent to maintain order, under the direct jurisdiction of the Human Ancestral Court.

Such rules passed down from generation to generation. Previously, the Entire Border Wilderness Domain was directly governed by the Human Ancestral Court. Now that the Gu Yuan Clan was granted the Entire Border Wilderness Domain, it naturally fell under the direct jurisdiction of the Gu Yuan Clan!

After receiving the Imperial Edict from Xiao Chen, Xue Zhu returned beneath the altar, followed by other disciples of the War God Temple, who one by one bowed on the peak of the altar and received Xiao Chen’s decree, becoming the chiefs of the middle-tier Battle Divisions!

Twenty-six middle-tier Battle Divisions were granted by Xiao Chen around the entire land of the Border Wilderness Domain, with the Southern Region of the Border Wasteland containing the most, having ten, while the remaining tribes were granted lands in the eastern, western, and northern domains of the Border Wasteland!

These twenty-six middle-tier Battle Divisions, as long as they could gather tribe people and fully develop, would be sufficient to shelter tens of millions of citizens of the Border Wasteland Domain.

"You all emerged from the War God Temple. Although you have now left Gu Yuan and been divided among various tribes, you are still offspring of the Gu Yuan Clan."

Xiao Chen’s gaze swept over the Grand Elder standing boldly below, and immediately the Grand Elder subtly signaled and then stepped forward.

"Chief’s grace remembers your daring exploits. Now that you are independently stationed in the Great Wasteland to guard the tribe, you are permitted to pass on the Martial Arts Classics learned at the War God Temple to your respective tribes!"

"We thank the chief for his great kindness!"

Techniques are the fundamental lineage of a tribe’s heritage. The worst of the Martial Arts Classics they practiced in the War God Temple were of medium Terrestrial Tier. Now that the Gu Yuan Clan allowed them to pass on the martial arts techniques they had learned to their tribes, it was a great grace.

Moreover, among these people, several had not only practiced one type of martial arts technique. Now that the Gu Yuan Clan had lifted the restrictions on the passing on of techniques, these could all become Family Town Martial Arts for their own tribes!

"In addition!" The Grand Elder’s voice rose again, immediately drawing everyone’s attention once more. The looks in those below, gazing towards the twenty-six newly appointed chiefs beneath the altar, carried an immense jealousy!

"Chief once again bestows grace; each middle-tier Battle Division is herewith granted ten thousand sets of high-tier exquisite armors, along with corresponding weapons and war supplies, to aid you in organizing your guardian War Masters!"

Whirl!

Immediately a stir arose below, everyone gasped in cool air. Ten thousand sets of high-tier battle armor was an enormous fortune for them, and the Gu Yuan Clan had given out a staggering two hundred sixty thousand sets!

The twenty-six Warriors granted territories across the Border Wasteland each defended territories of a hundred thousand miles or even more; there was nothing envious about this, as the power of their tribes radiated across vast areas, and it didn’t matter to them whether it was a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or three hundred thousand miles of territories.

In the Border Wasteland, there are millions of miles of territories, vast and boundless, with many barren lands!

But ten thousand sets of exquisite armor for each tribe!

Ranked as high-tier, such armors were enough for Blood Refining Realm Warriors to use. How many Blood Refining Realm Warriors were there in the Border Wasteland Domain, that might have high-tier weapons but necessarily not high-tier armors!

Especially, for those rangers who came wanting to receive the decree from the Gu Yuan Clan, there was a sense of defeat in their eyes. With these ten thousand sets of armors and weapons, when these people gathered tribe people, they would inevitably attract more warriors to converge!

"Border Wasteland rangers, Jian Feng, Feng Ying, East City, and Hu Bo, come forward to accept the order!" the Grand Elder called from beneath the altar.

"Border Wasteland rangers." Four figures stood up and shouted in unison.

"Jian Feng."

"Feng Ying."

"East City."

"Hu Bo."

"We pay our respects to the Lord of the Border Wasteland!"

The four rangers, each with the strength of Venerable Sixth Layer of the Towering Realm, kneeled on the ground before Xiao Chen offering deep respects!

Venerables of great ability, each could establish a common Marquis-tier Battle Division, but even though they were ranked among the Venerables, they had not gathered enough divine metal for dynasty building.

Under the guidance of the Grand Elder, the four Venerables bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen, then ascended to the top of the altar.

Coming to a spot several yards in front of Xiao Chen, all four rangers were solemn and focused. Jian Feng and Feng Ying had once fought alongside Xiao Chen, battling the Ghost Tribe on the Void Path. Yet within just a few years, such fortunes had turned people’s fates distinctly different as Xiao Chen’s strength had become unattainable for them.

Even their status required them to look up to him!

Now they were kneeling before Xiao Chen. Even if they were establishing their dynasties, it was under the help of the Gu Yuan Clan; from now on, they would honor Gu Yuan as supreme!

"Although you are rangers, throughout the years, you have fought in the blood of the Great Wasteland and battled foreign tribes to protect the lands of the Border Wasteland. You have great contributions. Today, as the Lord of the Border Wasteland, I grant you each as chiefs of the Marquis Divisions!"

"I bestow upon you the Fate-Defining Divine Cauldron as Divine Objects to protect your tribes, as my affiliated tribes under the Gu Yuan Clan. Generation upon generation will be under the protection of Gu Yuan, ensuring the continuance of your clan’s bloodline and succession of tribal leadership!"

Xiao Chen’s voice was like thunder, and indeed as the lord of the Border Wasteland, the tribe had taken root across the entire Border Wasteland Region. Leveraging luck and the earth veins, today he had issued imperial edicts to various factions, and his voice had already reached every corner of the Border Wasteland Region, and every ear of the Border Wasteland Human Tribe.

"Border Wasteland Ranger Jian Feng desires to establish the Jian Feng Marquis Division, and seeks grace from the Lord!"

Jian Feng Venerable bowed deeply once again, respectfully addressing Xiao Chen!

"Granted!"

As if his words were divine and possessed the weight of jade, the moment he spoke, divine brilliance shone on the Clan Stele, with the name of the Jian Feng Division manifesting upon it!

"Border Wasteland Ranger Feng Ying desires to establish the Feng Gan Marquis Division, and seeks grace from the Lord!"

"Border Wasteland Ranger Dong Cheng desires to establish the East Mountain Marquis Division, and seeks grace from the Lord!"

"Border Wasteland Ranger Hu Bo desires to establish the Amber Marquis Division, and seeks grace from the Lord of the Border Wasteland!"

"Granted!"

The hundred-meter-tall Clan Stele, which resembled a small mountain, erupted in endless divine brilliance, and the names of the three Marquis Divisions manifested upon it!

The Marquis-level Battle Divisions, strictly speaking, had a very significant difference from the middle and upper-level Battle Divisions, marking a qualitative improvement.

Moreover, the divine objects that suppressed luck were also elevated in rank.

At that moment, Grand Elder Iron Stone held a purple-and-gold tray in his hands, which carried four purple-and-gold scrolls, and he stepped up to the altar next to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen took a scroll and unfolded it, his gaze turning towards Jian Feng Venerable, and he then spoke, "The Jian Feng Marquis Division is granted land under Cliff Mountain in the Northern Border Wasteland, to guard the pathway to the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain through Cliff Mountain!"

"Jian Feng receives the command!"

"Feng Gan Marquis Division is granted the Wind Forest Ancient Mountain, a branch of the Luo Long Mountain Range in the Western Border Wasteland, to guard the Luo Long Mountain Range!"

"Feng Gan Marquis Division receives the command!"

"East Mountain Marquis Division is granted the East First Mountain Range in the Eastern Border Wasteland!"

"East Mountain Marquis Division receives the command!"

"Hu Bo Marquis Division is granted the Black Water Swamp in the Southern Border Wasteland!"

"Hu Bo Marquis Division receives the command!"

Jian Feng and the other three venerables respectfully took the purple scrolls from Xiao Chen’s hands, these purple scrolls just like the Imperial Edicts once received by Xiao Chen.

These were credentials issued by the Gu Yuan Clan to its subordinate tribes, and with these edicts, the various rangers could establish their tribes in the Border Wasteland Domain and rightfully claim their names!

With the Imperial Edict scroll in hand, the four rangers, no, at this moment they should be called heads of the tribes.

"Confer the Family Town Divine Objects!"

Immediately following, the Grand Elder standing respectfully at the side spoke again.

Suddenly, four children holding two-foot tall Luck Divine Cauldrons approached the altar.

"Solidify the tribal luck!"

As each of the four revered ones placed the Luck Divine Cauldrons in their hands, another shout resounded.

Hum!

Suddenly, swirling Purple Qi floated out over the altar, as the four revered ones began to merge their heart’s blood with the Divine Cauldrons, leaving their tribal marks on the Clan Stele.

With the division of the four Marquis Divisions completed, Xiao Chen’s dispensations did not cease.

Ranger forces from the Thorn Castle, Boundless Mountain, and some warriors with Towering Realm Cultivation, guided by the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe, came forward to submit and kneel on the ground, each being bestowed by Xiao Chen with a Luck Divine Object.

Four Marquis Divisions, two upper-level Battle Divisions, and fifty-seven middle-level Battle Divisions, in total, Xiao Chen dispensed sixty-three middle and above-level Human Race Battle Divisions this time, nearly doubling the number of middle and above-level Battle Divisions in the entire Gu Yuan Clan.

Of course, these subsequent bestowed ranger forces and warriors did not receive Martial Arts Classics and high-quality armor like the twenty-six warriors of the Gu Yuan Clan’s Battle God Palace.

What they received were just the Gu Yuan Clan’s Imperial Edict scrolls, and the right to govern ten thousand to several tens of thousands of miles of Desolate Land, while all the resources needed for establishing and expanding their tribes had to be prepared by themselves!

Ps To my readers, because I need to save manuscripts for the coming days, there will be a burst of activity on the 18th and New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve, I will also distribute seven days’ worth of subscription manuscript fees as Red Envelopes, so in the coming days I won’t be much on QQ, and I also might neglect the book review area a bit, please excuse me!
