Chapter 1577: Chapter 1117: Ancestor

After a brief silence, the chieftain of the Shaoshan Tribe knelt on one knee before Li Changhe, addressing him respectfully as the General.

In this secluded Demon Domain, this long-lived ancestral strongman clearly knew more.

He understood the significance represented by the Jiuli Tribe, and also recognized the true identity of this unfamiliar Ancestral Warrior.

Not only that, just by seeing Li Changhe, the Shaoshan chieftain felt an inexplicable reverence and closeness, driving him to submit to Li Changhe. It seemed to be a mark engraved in his soul.

This is the current General’s oppressive force over the Jiuli ancestral warriors.

Of course, the Extraordinary Soldiers also felt a similar effect, but it wasn’t as intense.

"Indeed, contacting them was the right decision," thought Li Changhe.

Through Shannü, he conveyed the phrase Jiuli Tribe directly to the chieftain’s ears.

If the chieftain understood the meaning behind it, he would naturally understand the existence of the General, making communication much easier.

Of course, if the other party had no understanding of this, then Li Changhe would have to use other means to communicate.

"It’s rare that the people of this world still remember Jiuli and the General. But I am not the Primordial Warlord, I am his current inheritor, the present General," Li Changhe said with a laugh resembling the sound of a bell, and had the Shaoshan chieftain rise.

"Lord General, have you returned from the outside world with the human kingdoms to the ancestral land?" the Shaoshan chieftain asked.

He was well aware that if such a powerful figure appeared in the ancestral land, he definitely would have received news.

And at this special timing, it could only mean that outsiders had arrived.

As for the present General... according to ancestral records and inheritance, only those who reach the pinnacle in the General’s inheritance and are recognized by the Primordial Warlord can become the present General.

"No, I come from a more distant world. Or rather, from your original home, your true ancestral land," Li Changhe did not conceal this fact.

"The true ancestral land?" there was a hint of shock in the Shaoshan chieftain’s words.

Li Changhe did not elaborate further but asked, "Do the other tribal chiefs also know about Jiuli like you do?"

"Each chieftain goes to Ancestor Mountain to receive the inheritance left by our ancestors. They can even directly hear the ancestors’ voices..." the Shaoshan chieftain replied.

"You can directly contact the ancestors?" The Azure Bronze Demon God was taken aback, and Li Changhe was somewhat astonished.

He had thought that he would have to spend effort to gather information about the underworld, but it turned out these ancestral humans could directly contact the beings in the underworld.

That would make communication much easier.

Whether he could reach Great Yi or the Demon God Shaoshan, they were all allies.

"Yes, although it’s unclear, some tribal chieftains with insufficient strength go mad because of it. But we can still faintly hear the ancestors’ voices," the Shaoshan chieftain continued, "Our ancestors instructed us to staunchly guard the ancestral land and not let the outer world open it."

It was as expected; otherwise, Li Changhe would not have heard that mumble.

"Hmm, but since you know of the human kingdoms outside, why not communicate with them? You all belong to the Human Race, sharing the same bloodline," Li Changhe inquired, "Or is it that you have also been subjected to some curse?"

"Curse..." After a moment of silence, the Shaoshan chieftain replied, "We have tried to contact the human kingdoms, but whenever the portal to the outside is opened, all the tribes enter a Bronze Armor state, and on approaching outsiders, become infectiously mad. Regardless of age or gender, all would attack. Even I cannot break this madness and can solely restrain myself from taking action. This seems to be the method of the ancestors to protect the ancestral land."

To protect the ancestral land is to guard the underworld.

Perhaps these ancestral humans are guardians of the underworld as well?

They attack all outsiders approaching?

Or is there another anomaly occurring within the underworld?

"As far as I know, there were strong individuals from the human kingdoms that stayed here," Li Changhe continued to inquire, "Did they succeed?"

Before the two Divine Will Battles, the strong ones from the human kingdoms ventured deep into the Demon Domain. Until the end of the Divine Will Battle, none had returned.

"Indeed, such an incident did occur, but it was almost a thousand years ago. Those powerful beings from the Human Race kingdoms were forcibly retained in the Ancestral Land until the passage ceased to exist.

And by that point, with the closure of the passage, we also released ourselves from the Azure Bronze Armor State and the frenzy.

We were finally able to communicate with them normally, understand their world, and their predicaments.

And they gradually integrated into the tribe, bringing along some excellent technologies, which improved the lives in various tribes.

The tribes had originally thought that this would allow them to communicate with the outside world.

We could also help them combat the Demons.

And they could help us defend the Ancestral Land.

However, when the passage next opened, those former kingdom powerhouses had also turned into beings like us, clad in Azure Bronze Armor, and similarly fell into madness upon encountering outsiders.

Subsequently, they perished in the wars of the Human Race kingdoms... Since then, we’ve tried several more times, communicating through writing or divinity. But sadly, the others had gone mad, consumed by so-called Divine Artifacts.

Since then, we’ve never attempted to communicate with them again," said the Shaoshan Tribe leader, his voice low: "To think of it, our tribe has also accepted those kingdom people; I am actually their descendant."

Ah, this is the cause of the closeness in language.

What a tragedy.

Both sides attempted contact and communication.

But both failed, as the mighty of the Human Race kingdoms finally managed to connect with the ancestral humans.

Yet in the next Divine Will Battle, they turned into Bronze Demons, fell into madness, and died by the hands of their own, unwitting compatriots.

So tragic...

Even knowing that the other party is their kin, they had no choice but to engage in war.

In fact, divine creatures can communicate with each other, but the divine beings from the Human Race kingdoms are basically swallowed by the Demon’s Divine Artifacts in terms of rationality.

Even at great cost, though able to establish successful communication, the other party could not convey it to the Human Race kingdoms.

As hatred escalated, misunderstandings between both sides grew harder to resolve, and they entirely abandoned the thought of communication.

It’s a pity, if there were Demigod warriors on both sides, shouting out in the void, all problems would have been resolved. Of course, the outcome might have been worse...

"But this tragedy is about to end; I will neither go mad nor will you attack me," Li Changhe said: "According to my orders, the legions of the Human Race kingdom will not strike first. And you... go contact all the tribes, tell them to cease their attacks on the Human Race kingdom!"

Thereupon, under the astonished gaze of the Shaoshan Tribe leader, he pulled out his own vertebra, handing it to the tribe leader.

The vertebra, containing the vast strength of the current General, was enough to prove the authenticity of this command.

The Shaoshan Tribe leader, shocked, accepted the vertebra, looking at Li Changhe regaining his composure.

After a few seconds of silence, he nodded: "Within one day, I will inform them all!"

Li Changhe nodded slightly and then walked out of the tent, summoning the Nine Heavens Dragon Horse, dashing upward, straight towards the Ancestral Land.

...

Meanwhile, in a dim, desolate space, Great Yi seemed to sense a familiar aura.

It felt like something he had seen before...

Just as he was about to speak to his companions around him, he heard cursing voices in the distance.

"That brainless one has gone mad again! Started fighting us in the midst of battle!"

"Fuck!" cursed Great Yi.
