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

Chapter 335 The Order to Reclaim the Wasteland!

The warship carrying the ashes of fallen warriors slowly landed outside the Temple of Heroes amidst the roar of the witch cannons.

Besides the temples and young people lined up outside, the leader of the Volcano Alliance tribe, along with some executive elders and garrison soldiers, came to the Temple of Heroes to welcome back the souls of the fallen heroes.

Behind the volcano, besides the warriors of Yongyi, there are also some warriors of Daidi.

The Divine Warriors of Daidi all come from several inherited mountains and grotto-heavens in Daidi.

After the human alliance army entered the Dai region, they initially set up their main camp at Xingchen Mountain in the Dai region.

Lu Yang, the master of Xingchen Mountain, stood behind the volcano. He had been thinking of coming to Yongyi for decades.

At that time, I never imagined that I would arrive in Yongyi in such a scene.

Besides Lu Yang, the master of Xingchen Mountain, there are also Jiang Shu, the master of the two great cave heavens Jiang Yang and Yue Zai, Yue Lei, and four other masters of the inheritance mountain.

These mountains, which represent the lineage of the Dai lands, all sent warriors to fight against the local antagonists.

The alliance between the Dai tribe and the Marquis of Yongshan, formed eight thousand years ago, was finally fulfilled by warriors from both regions, who wiped out the Tulou and recovered the lost lands of the human race.

Shen Can was already waiting outside the main hall of the Temple of Heroes.

Two rows of priests stood on either side of the temple entrance.

In addition, two fourth-level priests stood before him.

These two fourth-level priests are both Shen Can's grand-disciples, namely Yan Wu and Zhong Jing.

The soldiers who died in the battle of Daidi came from different tribes and needed to be returned to their respective tribes one by one. After being buried in their respective tribal ancestral graves, their spirit tablets were then placed in the Temple of Heroes.

The warships didn't need to stop here at all, but Shen Can created this scene so that the young people from various temples and shamanic practices could experience the farewell ceremony for the fallen.

He wanted all the temples and young people to participate and witness it firsthand.

The roar of cannons echoed across the sky, and as the three warships carrying the ashes of the fallen fell, the expressions of the crowd grew increasingly solemn.

Large offering tables were placed in front of the Hall of Heroes, covered with offerings such as sacred fruits and animal meat.

As the incense burned, the priests standing outside the Temple of Heroes headed toward the three fallen warships.

The young men lined up in front of the Hall of Heroes, the first group following the priests toward the warship.

After saluting in the direction of the warship, they stepped onto the landing platform that descended from the warship and entered the warship one by one.

When the group of teenagers emerged from the warship again, each of them carried a stone jar containing the ashes of the fallen. They slowly disembarked and headed towards the main hall of the Temple of Heroes.

Subsequently, the second group of teenagers, led by the priest, headed towards the warship once again.

The boys looked tense, affected by the scene before them.

Each stone jar bears the name and place of origin of the fallen, as well as the mark of the corresponding tribe.

As the boys carried the ashes of the fallen into the shrine of heroes, some of them saw familiar markings from their own tribes and recognized the fallen.

Many teenagers lowered their heads, suppressing their tears.

From dawn till dusk, bonfires burned outside the Temple of the Heroes, and the ashes and memorial tablets of more than 379,600 fallen soldiers were finally brought into the main hall of the Temple of the Heroes.

The reason why there are still divine positions is that the warriors who died in battle at the several inheritance mountains and grotto heavens of Daidi have long been buried back in their respective places of life.

Naturally, only the tablets of the gods were enshrined in Valhalla.

The bonfire roared, the priests chanted incantations, and the sound of horns, desolate in the night, rang out again and again.

"Sacrifice."

Volcano, the leader of the Alliance tribe, led the Alliance elders, garrison soldiers, and warriors from the Daidi Heritage Mountain and Cave Heaven to the outside of the Temple of Heroes. Under Shen Can's guidance, they paid homage to the many fallen warriors inside the temple.

The Temple of the Heroes was built on high ground, and under the cover of night, the mountain wind howled, making the robes and cloaks flutter.

There were many people behind the volcano. In the past, the warriors of the various divine treasures would not offer sacrifices to ordinary second- or third-tier warriors.

Before them, everyone present was solemn, bowing respectfully to the fallen heroes in the Hall of Heroes.

"In the 37,793rd year of the Mountain and Sea Calendar, our human tribal alliance broke through the earthworms and reclaimed our homeland. Those who died in battle... those who were wounded... all tribes bravely fought against the foreign tribes. The merits are inscribed on stone and enshrined in the Temple of Heroes to inspire future generations."

Shen Can's voice rang out, suppressing the howling mountain wind and raging flames, and clearly reached the ears of every person present.

"All those who fight for our human race will be worshipped by the Human Alliance every year, and their descendants will be raised by our Human Alliance."

"Not only in this battle, but also in the previous pacification of Yongyi, the killing of Xiangliu, the defeat of the Huantou tribe, and even the many warriors who died in the battles against Xiaoyang and Huantou tribes in Yongyi over the past eight thousand years, and the resistance against Tulou in Daidi over the past thousands of years, all of them must be enshrined in the Temple of Heroes and worshipped by the human race."

"Our Human Alliance will inscribe the names of those who died in battle to tell future generations that it is because our ancestors never yielded to the oppression of other races that our human race has been able to thrive and continue its lineage."

Upon hearing this, the mountain lords and cave masters of the several inherited mountains behind the volcano swayed involuntarily.

The power of Yongyi shocked them; they had never imagined that the people of Yongyi would come to the rescue of Daidi.

At this moment, no one expected that Shen Can, the leader of the alliance temple, would acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices made by the many inherited mountains and grottoes of the Daidi region in their years of conquest and warfare against the Tulou.

"This is the history of our Juyue Mountain people's survival and growth. Only by remembering our history can we move forward bravely."

At this moment, Shen Can downplayed the names Yongyi and Daidi in his words and mentioned the name of Juyue Mountain for the first time.

Ultimately, the origins of the human race on both sides of Juyue Mountain both come from Huai Mountain.

In other words, we have not yet been able to contact Yunhe Valley and do not know the situation of the Yunhe Valley people.

Once contact is established, Cloud Valley will be incorporated into the entire alliance.

The young people standing outside the Temple of Heroes, even though they had been standing there all day, blushed deeply upon hearing Shen Can's words, feeling a surge of anger rising in their chests.

After a brief ceremony at the Temple of Heroes, the ashes of the fallen were escorted by Alliance soldiers and led by the temple shrines of each tribe, along with selected youths from their respective clans, back to their respective tribes for burial the following day.

In order to escort the fallen warriors back to their respective tribes, Shen Can arranged for priests to accompany them, and even more flying cavalry to lead the way.

The purpose was simple: to tell the various tribes of Yongyi that these were the honors of those who fought for the human race.

In addition to the priests sent by the Temple of Heroes, there were also merit envoys sent by the Human Alliance to go to various tribes to announce the merits and verify the affairs of the fallen.

After sending off the fallen warriors to their clans, Volcano saw the newly built Temple of Heroes and immediately ordered the construction of a new Alliance Hall in front of it as a place to handle Alliance affairs.

In this way, anyone who comes to the Alliance will be able to see the Temple of Heroes high up when they look up.

Under the gaze of the heroic spirits, anyone who dares to be heartless and treacherous should not blame his blade.

Now, the Alliance has subordinate agencies such as the Penal Division, the Wasteland Inspection Division, and the Merit Division, but these are still not enough.

After a major battle to conquer the local antagonists, many issues arose, such as the promotion and demobilization of soldiers, the provision of weapons, and logistics, all of which required personnel to arrange.

The alliance also needs these functional bodies to handle the relevant matters.

……

is the day.

On behalf of the tribal alliance leader, Volcano, along with the executive elders, hosted a banquet for the mountain lords and cave masters of the various heritage mountains of the region.

"Despite the rampage of the earthworms, you have remained undaunted. This cup of wine is offered to you all and to the ancestors who have inherited the mountain and the cave." Volcano raised his cup, and everyone in the room rose and raised their cups as well.

After a few drinks, Jiang Shu stood up.

"Alliance Leader."

She refilled the wine cup. "If it weren't for the Alliance's northern expedition, the Dai region would still be ravaged by the Tu Lou, and my Jiangyang Cave Heaven would still be barely holding on under the Tu Lou's oppression. This cup of wine is to the Alliance Leader and to everyone."

Several other acting mountain lords also rose with Jiang Shu, and after a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the banquet became lively.

"Alliance Leader, I wonder how the Alliance plans to arrange the next phase of the campaign?"

As soon as Jiang Shu spoke, all the figures in the Dai region listened intently.

Zhiyan had long planned to rule the Dai region using a system primarily based on cities and supplemented by tribes.

After all, apart from the seven inherited lands, there were no large tribes in Dai, which was much better than the complex and intertwined situation of the various tribes in Yongyi.

Of course, on the surface, it is done in the name of the Human Alliance.

All you need to do is build cities in suitable locations to radiate out to the human settlements in the surrounding mountains and fields.

The alliance directly appointed a city lord to be responsible for protecting the surrounding settlements.

"Jiangyang Cave Heaven is a legacy of the Jiangyang Bo tribe, who single-handedly resisted the Tulou for many years."

The volcano had already done its homework regarding the land that would inherit the legacy of the Daidi.

"Speaking of which, when I was just starting out, I received help from the spirits of the Jiangyangbo tribe."

Upon hearing this, the executive elders from various departments of Yongyi in the main hall were all stunned for a moment.

How much of the inheritance did the Zhiyan Bo tribe actually receive? We already knew that they had received the inheritance of the Yongshan Bo tribe, so how come they even managed to attract the sacrificial spirit of Daidi?
This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

Another day, should we mention that Zhiyan has inherited the legacy of the human race's ancestral land?
"Since Cave Master Jiang has asked, I'll take this opportunity to explain the alliance's arrangements."

As Huoshan spoke, he looked at Jiang Shu and Yue Lei, the two cave masters whose ancestors were two powerful bo tribes in Daidi.

Furthermore, because there is a grotto-heaven as a place of life, the people living in the grotto-heaven are all of the same bloodline.

On the contrary, the other five heritage mountains are more like a gathering place for wandering knights in Yongyi.

When the Earthworms existed, the seven lands of inheritance served the function of passing on the torch of humankind. Now that the Earthworms have been destroyed, the task of passing on the torch and spreading martial arts naturally falls to the Blazing Flame, or rather, the Alliance.

"You are all cave lords and mountain lords of the land of inheritance. Now that the Tu Lou have been wiped out, are the inheritance mountains where you reside planning to restore the Bo tribe, or will they continue to develop in the form of cities?"

"As the Alliance Leader is aware, my Jiangyang Cave Heaven intends to rebuild the Jiangyang Earl Tribe."

"My Moon Lord's Cave Heaven is also preparing to rebuild the Bo tribe."

Upon hearing the two masters of the inheritance caves speak, the remaining masters of the five inheritance mountains in the Daidi region, apart from Lu Yang, were lost in thought.

The reason Lu Yang didn't react much was mainly because Star Mountain, where he was located, had long since merged with the blazing flames.

After much deliberation, the two mountain lords of Zhenyue Mountain and Fugu Mountain exchanged a glance and then stood up at the same time.

"Alliance Leader, I, Zhen Yueshan, want to establish a tribe."

"My Fugu Mountain is the same."

Now only the mountain lords of Zhongyu Mountain and Mengfu Mountain, the two mountains of inheritance, remained silent.

It is not uncommon for wandering knights to establish tribes. For example, the two places of inheritance, Zhenyue Mountain and Fugu Mountain, are home to a large number of martial artists and are well-suited to establishing tribes.

The mountain lord of Zhongyu Mountain stood up and said, "Alliance Leader, I wonder how the Alliance plans to govern the Dai region?"

"Due to the rampage of the earth worms for many years, the large human tribes were broken up, resulting in small settlements in various places where people multiplied and lived."

Therefore, based on the situation in Dai, the alliance plans to select a location in Dai to build a city, so as to radiate to the surrounding settlements as much as possible.

As for the selection of the city's lord, the alliance will choose a Divine Warrior to fill the position.

At this point, Volcano looked at the executive elders present and continued, "Any Divine Warrior who has participated in the conquest of the Earth Louse in Daidi can participate in the selection of the city lord, with priority given to those who were injured in the battles in Daidi."

As for how many cities to build in Dai, the alliance will next assign personnel to investigate the terrain, settlements, and other features of Dai, and to create a clearer map of the region.

More than a thousand warriors participated in the conquest of Dai, while the number of warriors from the Zhiyan tribe approached seven hundred.

Many perished, and half of the dozens of fallen gods came from the Blazing Flame Tribe.

In this situation, no matter how fair the selection process is, given the sheer number of Divine Warriors from the Blazing Flame Clan, the majority of those who become city lords will still be from Blazing Flame.

"Alliance Leader, may we participate in the city lord selection?"

When Zhong Yushan, the mountain lord, spoke up, he said he had no intention of gathering people to establish a tribe; that would be too exhausting.

In comparison, being a city lord in an alliance is not bad. You are directly responsible to the alliance and can also obtain cultivation resources from it.

Lord Mengfu also showed interest.

On the contrary, the two mountain lords of Fugu Mountain and Zhenyue Mountain were not affected by the arrangement proposed by the volcano, which clearly shows that the establishment of the Bobu was a decision that the two had made long ago.

"Alliance Leader, since the Alliance intends to build a city in the Dai region, if we, the Bo tribe, were to establish our own tribe, could we join the Alliance? Also, will the Alliance allocate land to our Bo tribe?"

Jiang Shu spoke up, as this concerned the upcoming arrangements and they couldn't afford to be careless.

"Whether it's a city or a tribe, they naturally belong to the Alliance."

"As for establishing the clan's territory, do you want to return to the original ancestral land that was destroyed by the Tulou, or do you want to choose another place?"

The volcano looked at the four people who wanted to rebuild and establish the Bo tribe.

In the reclaimed lands, the Tulou, in order to prevent the human race from becoming too powerful, destroyed the former territory of the human race's Bo tribe and some places rich in source energy.

Even if the alliance builds a city in Daidi this time, it will still need to repair the destroyed areas.

Seeing that the group hesitated, Volcano continued, "Here are two choices for you."

You can return to your original territory, such as the former site of the Jiangyangbo tribe. The alliance can help you restore the mountains and rivers destroyed by the Tulou, but you will need to pay a certain amount of resources.

If you do not choose a place destroyed by the Earthworms, the Alliance can issue you a reclamation order to go to the outer areas of the Dai land to find a suitable clan land.

The alliance supports the various human tribes to expand outwards to the borders of Dai and even Yongyi, and they can receive additional support from the alliance.

According to the Bo tribe's land reclamation decree, a territory of 30,000 square li could be designated as the Bo tribe's domain.

Upon hearing this, some of the executive elders in the hall began to look at him with intense interest.

It covers an area of ​​30,000 li, which is quite large.

It's important to understand why many tribes within Yongyi only have one ruler per generation. It's simply because their territory and resources are limited.

For a superior tribe, someone's advancement to the Divine Realm is a momentous event worthy of ancestral worship. However, if a neighboring tribe has already achieved this advancement, conflicts can easily arise between the two sides.

Once the decree for land reclamation is issued, many tribal chiefs in Yongyi will be tempted.
