After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 315 A New Journey!
More than 8,000 years ago, when the Black Bird was feeding on Yongyi, the people of Yongyi would have had at least one common enemy.

Normally speaking, the failure of the Marquis of Yongshan to conquer the Xuanniao was equivalent to buying the Yongyi people eight thousand years of cultivation time.

Even though the underground caves absorbed the source energy from the north and south of the Giant Mountain Range, making cultivation difficult for the Yongyi people and affecting their cultivation.

However, this does not mean there are no other options. We can explore the outside world, move away from the Juyue Mountains, and find places with abundant source energy.

There may be various dangers and difficulties in expanding outwards, but not doing it and failing after trying are two different things.

The people of Yongyi have no ambition whatsoever.

At this moment, the truth came to light, like a thunderclap exploding among the warriors of the Divine Treasury.

After Lord Changhuan finished speaking, there were more sighs. Some people in the Wandering Knights' Treasury were stunned. They were just wandering knights, so how did they suddenly become burdened with the weight of the mountain?

The pressure is immense; I don't know if I can handle it.

For the members of the Blazing Flame Clan, they thought they had defeated the Holy Envoy Clan, cleansed Yongyi, and were even conquering the Huan Tou Clan and the Tu Lou.

Unexpectedly, in the end, this mere divine treasure turned out to be nothing at all.

Fourth-tier and fifth-tier individuals facing off against seventh-tier individuals are like ants trying to shake a tree.

When everyone learned the truth, tears welled up in their eyes.

run?
Where are you going?

The Great Wilderness is fraught with danger, but Yongyi is like an oasis in the desert, a fertile land where humans have thrived for many years.

There's no way to avoid it, no way to escape it.

By this time, everyone had returned to the Alliance Hall from the Holy Envoy Clan.

Everyone gathered together, and for a moment no one spoke.

At that moment, a metallic sound rang out, and a streak of light shot out in front of everyone like lightning, transforming into swords and blades that emitted a series of hums.

The hum of swords broke the silence.

"If you can't beat the Black Bird, slitting your own throat isn't too difficult, is it?"

Shen Can's voice resounded throughout the hall as he looked at everyone present.

After the truth about the seventh-tier Xuan Bird came to light, even the Divine Treasure Warriors of the Blazing Flame Tribe fell into silence.

The seventh rank is a realm that even the ancestral land of the human race has not fully explored.

After visiting the Great Pu Ancient Kingdom, Shen Can understood even more clearly that without the power of the seventh rank to protect the clan, one could only become a vassal, with life and death entirely dependent on other clans.

Of course, the people of Yongyi were unaware of the situation in the ancestral land of the human race, but even if they knew, it would be of no use, as it was too far away and beyond their reach, making it impossible to even guide them.

"Qiang!"

Yan Jiang yanked the witch knife in front of her and threw it aside.

"For the temple, death is the only option; we will never sit idly by and wait for our demise!"

The other divine treasures also realized that the Black Bird hadn't woken up yet.

It's been eight thousand years already, perhaps it won't wake up for another eight thousand years?

The Black Bird is terrifying, but slitting its own throat is a completely different matter.

Who would want to die if there's nothing wrong with them!

At this moment, Shen Can's divine sense surged between his brows, and a beam of divine sense split off, instantly transforming into more than two thousand parts, which flowed into the perceptions of every martial artist present, transforming into a large amount of information.

"Cloud River Valley, so it turns out that there are other places where our human race lives too!"

"What kind of race is the Pierced Chest Clan? I've never seen them before. This Mujiang Clan is one too."

After digesting this information, the group was somewhat surprised and doubtful. Although they knew that the Giant Mountain Range was very large and that other races lived outside, they only knew about the Xiaoyang and Huantou tribes at most.

As a result, over the years, the vast majority of the tribal chiefs present have remained indifferent, allowing the Xiaoyang and Huantou tribes to run rampant in both the north and south of Yongyi.

As the Lord of Changhuan lamented, they knew nothing of expanding territory, only how to bully their own kind.

The vast majority of them are corrupt and incompetent, and unfortunately, Shen Can only has these cards to play right now.

The Blazing Flame Empire has developed rapidly, but it has only existed for a century. Development requires people and time.

Whether the rotten blood and the traces of bestiality can be cleansed remains to be seen.

"If our human race continues to fight amongst ourselves, we will face the danger of extinction!"

Lord Changhuan's voice drowned out the crowd: "We must not wait to die, but forge ahead and reshape the soul of humanity."

"The old man is right, we can't go on like this!"

Martial artists continued to speak up, especially the young Divine Treasure martial artists from the Blazing Flame Clan, whose eyes were burning with determination and full of vigor.

However, many more treasures remain dormant.

The seventh level felt like a heavy, towering mountain crashing down on my heart, making it hard to breathe.

This is like a hopeless situation; there's no way to resist, so what's the point of struggling?

This situation is quite reasonable.

The old man of Changhuan waved his arms angrily, "Coward! So what if you die? You've lived for hundreds of years, so what if you die? Don't you think about your descendants?"
Are we to continue to let our descendants become food for the Black Bird, to be eaten at will, just to reproduce and thrive as food for the Black Bird?

Am I, a dignified human being, not even as good as a beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood?

"Coward!"

After being scolded, many of the Divine Treasure warriors looked grim, but most remained silent, occasionally glancing at Elder Changhuan with coldness in their eyes.

That old man has a nice way of speaking; you've lived long enough.

It's just a sacrifice of blood and food, and it might not even be sacrificed to oneself. At least it can be passed down. If it weren't for the actions of the Marquis of Yongshan back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

When they saw Shen Can's gaze looking down at them, some of the people with ulterior motives suddenly became alert, and their eyes cleared up instantly.

“Temple”.

Elder Changhuan spoke, and Shen Can beckoned to sit down.

"The seventh-tier Xuan Bird is indeed powerful, but our Yongyi human race is not without a glimmer of hope."

At this moment, Shen Can spoke up. He knew that if there was no chance of survival, the pressure from the seventh-tier Xuan Bird would crush most of the people present to death in one breath.

These words caused many of the Divine Treasure Warriors to look up.

The young members of the Blazing Flame Tribe, in particular, looked at Shen Can with burning fervor and reverence.

I knew the temple had a solution.

Shen Can then spoke up, saying, "When the Marquis of Yongshan was conquering the Xuan Niao, he actually left a contingency plan, which was the Kui Niu War Drum."

How the Kui Niu war drum came to be is no longer important, but it is not wrong to say that it was left behind by the Marquis of Yongshan.

Zhiyan claimed to have risen to power by inheriting the legacy of the Marquis, and now that he's saying it, it can be considered a continuation of that lineage.

"The Black Bird was severely injured by the Marquis and needs to absorb external power to heal its wounds."

The reason why the Holy Envoy Clan captures sacrificial offerings in Yongyi every once in a while is not just for the purpose of sacrifice, but also to replenish the energy of the Black Bird.

The Black Bird is the overlord of the Giant Mountain Range. The Giant Mountain Range is not only home to our human race, but also to the Huan Tou, Tu Lou, Guan Xiong, and Mu Jiang races. Among these races, the Tu Lou still worship the Black Bird. The situation of the Huan Tou, Guan Xiong, and Mu Jiang is unknown; they may also worship the Black Bird, or they may not.

Now that the Holy Envoy Clan has been found and eliminated, the Black Bird has lost a path to obtain blood sustenance, and its recovery and awakening will inevitably be delayed. Therefore, eliminating the Earth Ants is not only about saving more human descendants, but also about postponing the Black Bird's awakening.

As Shen Can spoke, some of the Divine Treasure warriors showed signs of change again.

"Furthermore, I have found a place for the Black Bird to heal its wounds!"

"what!"

"where?"

Many people instinctively asked the question.

"It's located in the Juyue Mountains."

“I, Zhiyan, am skilled in the art of witchcraft formations. Witchcraft formations have the power to seize the power of heaven and earth. Now that we have found the hiding place of the Xuan Bird, we can also construct a witchcraft formation that seals the heavens and locks the earth there, artificially creating a forbidden zone of source power.”

"In the eyes of a seventh-tier Xuan Bird, our human race is indeed like ants and mayflies, but even ants have the ability to climb divine trees, and mayflies also have the power to shake the heavens."

"As for the materials and source stones for building the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Witch Array, they can be obtained from the Earth Ants. The Earth Ants' bodies contain inner cores that can be considered energy sources, their scales, skin, and horns can be used to refine witch artifacts, and their flesh and blood can be used to refine blood pills. The whole body is a treasure."

The Blazing Flame Clan had long known that the Earthworm was a treasure trove, but some of the Divine Treasure Lords, elders, and wandering knights who had never been to the Dai Land were not so aware of it.

He couldn't help but look at the people who had been to the area, and received a definite nod.

"Besides the Earthworm Clan, there is a mysterious cave in the Giant Mountain Range, which contains countless spirits, especially fifth-order spirits, which can also be used as materials for building large formations and cultivation resources."

The underground cavern is vast, with fifth-tier medicinal herbs found even at its edges; the extent of the treasures within remains unknown.

"I, Blazing Flame, have a method to advance to the fifth rank."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including the lords of Jusha, Juhuang, Xiashan, and Qianze, as well as the wandering knights like Li Wanyang, showed signs of interest.

Fifth-tier cultivation techniques, fifth-tier resources... The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

The words of the blazing temple not only indicated that Yongyi was not a place of certain death, but also that it offered the possibility for everyone present to advance further.

Where there is hope, there is motivation.

Shen Can ignored the changes in the expressions of the many martial artists present and continued, "Back then, when the Marquis was conquering the Black Bird, the Kui Niu assisted him."

The Kui Niu tribe lives deep in the forests southwest of the Juyue Mountains. Finding them means our human race has gained another ally.

"We are expanding outwards, opening up roads to areas outside the Juyue Mountains, and trying to develop new places to live and multiply."

If we are no match for the Black Bird, we have giant tortoises, warships, and flying boats. We can lead our people far away from the Great Mountain and to newly opened territories to multiply and thrive, hoping to fight again!

After saying that, Shen Can closed his eyes to rest and said nothing more.

Inside the main hall, the many Divine Treasure Warriors initially murmured amongst themselves, but their voices grew louder and louder, sounding like tens of thousands of ducks quacking.

"cough!"

Finally, Volcano coughed, the sound reverberating throughout the venue.

"Everyone is already aware of the current situation of the Yongyi human race. Those present here can be said to encompass all the powerful figures of Yongyi. The future direction of the hundreds of millions of Yongyi human race is in your hands."

Today, with everyone here, let's decide on the future of Yongyi.

Everyone is welcome to freely express their thoughts and suggestions.

……

"Defeat the Earth Foes as soon as possible, acquire resources, and at the same time rescue the Daidi Human Race. The larger the population, the more geniuses will be born."

"Not only the Tulou, but also the human races in other parts of the Giant Mountain Range should be contacted."

"The alliance needs to establish a new department to investigate all parts of the Giant Mountain Range. We cannot be blind."

"We need to figure out whether the Guanxiong tribe and the Mujiang tribe are enemies or friends. If they are truly enemies, they are also worshipping the Xuan Bird. We must not sit idly by and wait for our doom."

"Furthermore, I believe we should concentrate our manpower and resources to select geniuses from the entire Yongyi region and train them intensively. Our human race needs more fifth-order and even sixth-order individuals. Time waits for no one, and we must act on this immediately."

"We can no longer hide things; we must truly unite and weather the storm together!"

The old man from Changhuan stood up directly from the crowd, waving his arm with bulging veins and making a loud appeal.

"Back then, Marquis Yongshan dared to attack the Xuan Niao clan. Although I am not as great as Marquis Yongshan, I also grew up listening to his stories and have the same determination to face death."

"I agree with what the old master said. We should establish a training system that belongs to our human race, instead of being confined to the various departments, and select talented martial artists from each department."

"agree!"

"I agree!"

One of the elders chimed in, saying that the Blazing Flame Elder Clan had been producing Divine Realm warriors in recent years, with young Heavenly Vein warriors emerging one after another, which greatly motivated the elders who had been fortunate enough to advance to the Divine Realm and become the leaders of their clans.

As everyone has observed, the success rate of the Blazing Flame Clan in advancing to the Divine Treasury is extremely high.

Furthermore, some have discovered that the Zhiyan tribe has specialized shamans who assist the tribespeople in advancing their divine treasures.

This undoubtedly signifies that the Zhiyan tribe has broken through the long-standing predicament of Yongyi's advancement in the Divine Treasury.

Just now, the temple master himself said that there is a fifth-tier inheritance, as well as a mysterious cave with fifth-tier resources.

Why has Yongyi been like a stagnant pool all these years? It's because the path of martial arts is blocked before the fifth level.

The power of the Blazing Flame was something they could not resist. However, the Blazing Flame established a tribal alliance instead of using force to annex the tribes, which also shows that the Blazing Flame tribe was willing to lead everyone together.

At this point, it would be foolish to disagree.

Hanging on the thigh of the Blazing Flame Elder and improving together is the best thing to do.

Expanding territory for humanity and strengthening one's own tribe in the process are two sides of the same coin; there is no conflict between the two.

As time went on, everyone's emotions were stirred up.

Even though Yongyi had been corrupt for many years, not everyone was willing to succumb to its decay.

Humans have an inherent stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat. Otherwise, how could they have migrated from their ancestral lands to the Giant Mountain Range, a journey spanning countless mountains and rivers?
Finally, everyone agreed on the next plan: the first step would be to cut down the ringhead and the earthworm, a two-pronged approach.

The purpose of attacking Huan Tou was to drive the Huan Tou tribe further south, or at least to create a larger buffer zone between the Huan Tou tribe and the human race.

Only in this way can the people of Yongyi's southern border region thrive and multiply.

The purpose of conquering the Tulou was twofold: first, to rescue the Dai people and gain more population; and second, to cut off another route for the Xuan Bird to obtain food.

Therefore, it can be seen that the importance of the Daidi Tulou is even greater than that of the Huantou tribe.

Of course, another purpose of conquering the two tribes was to obtain cultivation resources. The earthworms were treasures from head to toe, and their value far exceeded that of the Huantou tribe.

Although humans are capable of reproduction, they still need a large population base. The larger the population, the greater the probability of producing geniuses.

At the same time, a large supply of resources is needed. Yongyi's resources are insufficient, so if it wants to improve more quickly, it needs to expand outwards.

Being trapped in Yongyi meant they could only wait to die.

In addition, an Alliance Patrol Division was established to investigate the situation in the north and south of the Giant Mountain Range while conquering the Tulou and Huantou tribes, to contact the Yunhe Valley people, and to conduct preliminary investigations into the Guanxiong and Mujiang tribes to determine whether the two tribes are enemies or friends.

Ultimately, the agreed-upon plan was written on an animal hide.

As the leader of the alliance, Volcano was the first to leave his mark.

Subsequently, the leaders, elders, wandering knights, and warriors from the Blazing Flame Divine Realm all left their marks on it.
