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

Chapter 336 The People's Palace, Building the City

Upon hearing that the volcano was going to issue a land reclamation order, several warriors from the surrounding area fell into deep thought.

They were familiar with this thing.

A territory spanning 30,000 square miles is vast enough that a single tribe wouldn't even need to exhaust all the resources within the region to achieve rapid development.

"Jiang Yangbo's tribe is willing to accept the Alliance's pioneering order."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Shu was the first to speak.

It is obvious that the Human Alliance wants to adopt a new governance model in the Dai region. Not to mention that the ancestral land of Jiang Yangbo's tribe was destroyed thousands of years ago, even if it had not been destroyed, it would be easy for him to lead his people to rebuild it and conflict with the alliance's governance model.

Restoring a destroyed clan territory is not easy; it requires a great deal of effort and resources, and can take a long time.

In contrast, finding a new place to cultivate might be like a dragon entering the sea.

Although Jiang Shu is a woman, she had keenly sensed the Alliance's support for pioneering the new land right before the volcano was mentioned.

At this point, obeying the alliance's orders might actually garner greater support from them.

She couldn't explain the other reasons, but she knew that during a hunt, the first person in the tribe to rush towards and capture the prey was entitled to cut off the fattest piece of meat from the prey.

Some other members of the tribe only received a little bone broth.

The first tribe to reclaim land may face risks, but the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

The human alliance reclaimed only two-thirds of the original Dai lands from the Tulou, which were thousands of years ago.

The remaining third was deliberately destroyed because the earthworms couldn't control it.

At this time, the primary territory that the Human Alliance needed to reclaim was this ancient land that had been abandoned for thousands of years.

As soon as Jiang Shu finished speaking, the cave master of Yuezai Cave and the other two mountain masters of the inheritance mountain also realized what was going on.

They all stood up, bowed towards the volcano, and spoke.

"Alliance Leader, we are also willing to accept the pioneering order."

Volcano waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down again.

"Alright, regarding the land reclamation, the alliance needs some time to come up with specific regulations. Once everything is ready, the land reclamation order will be issued."

Having learned how the Human Alliance governed the Dai lands, the mountain lords and cave masters of these inherited lands were relieved.

The banquet then became increasingly lively.

……

At this time, at the Zhiyan Ancestral Temple.

Shen Can and Huo Tang wiped the newly invited shrines in the ancestral temple together. There were 29 shrines for the clansmen of the Divine Treasure Realm, and 377 for the Heavenly Vein Realm.

These are only the clansmen who died in the battle of Daidi.

More and more people came from all directions of the ancestral land, summoned by the ancestral temple.

Some people brought offerings with them and quietly placed them outside the ancestral temple.

Not long after, Huotang came out of the ancestral temple.

At this moment, nearly four thousand warriors and wizards have gathered outside the ancestral temple. These are all clansmen with experience in construction and exploration.

“Ayu”.

Hearing the shouts, Ayu came over carrying a wooden box, from which jade slips flew out and towards the many clansmen in front of her.

"Let's take a look."

After everyone had their hands on the jade slip, they used their divine senses to perceive its contents.

"The recapture of Dai is just the beginning. If I, Zhiyan, want to take control of Dai, I still need to build a city first."

The alliance has issued an edict to establish cities throughout the Dai region in order to achieve the goal of governing the Dai region.

Your task is to go ahead for the alliance, scout out the situation in the Dai region in advance, and see where it is suitable to build a city.

The conditions for building a city are similar to those for the market town of Yongyi, aiming to radiate out as many scattered settlements as possible.

The jade slip contains a list of the three million torchbearers I trained in Dai. You can contact them to help you investigate the situation in Dai.

In addition to these torchbearers trained within your tribe, once you have chosen a location, the Alliance's troops in that region will assist you in building your city.

Huo Tang's voice was very loud. To put it bluntly, the Human Alliance was simply the way Zhi Yan united the various tribes.

With so many people in Daidi, and without the large tribes of Yongyi fighting amongst themselves, if it could be directly governed by the Zhiyanbo tribe, and once it could be completely integrated, it would become the foundation for the Zhiyanbo tribe's transformation once again.

As for who will be stationed in charge of the city after it is built, Blazing Flame will also allocate a number of slots to the alliance.

After all, it's an alliance, so we still need to form a united front.

As for why members were first drawn from within the clan, one reason was to give them something to do, otherwise, with so many clan members, they couldn't all just stay cooped up in the clan.

Secondly, after completing the city-building task, a group of key personnel will be selected from this group to form the People's Temple under the alliance.

The People's Hall is mainly responsible for statistics on the population, tribes, and cities under the control of the alliance, the approximate number of warriors and wizards, and the distribution of mountains, rivers, lakes, and mineral resources, etc.

With the inclusion of Daidi, the alliance's existing subordinate agencies are completely insufficient.

Although the alliance currently only controls Yongyi and Daidi, and Yongyi has many tribes with complex relationships, it does not mean that the alliance will not expand beyond the Juyue Mountains in the future.

"Besides building the city, you also need to send some people to explore the northwest region of Dai and report back to the tribe what you find about the terrain and environment."

"The Great Zhang Cart is already on the flying boat; you may depart now."

Following Huo Tang's instructions, the clansmen bowed to Huo Tang and Shen Can and headed towards the floating airship not far away.

Watching the flying boat disappear into the distance, Huotang slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Do you think any of the tribes in Yongyi were interested after the land reclamation order was issued?"

The two went to the side hall and sat down, where they boiled water around the stove and soaked some dried spiritual fruits.

The volcano hosted a banquet for the local warriors and had the executive elders accompany them, all in order to release the news of the reclamation order first.

If some tribes in Yongyi could be relocated to cultivate new land, the overcrowding problem among the various tribes in Yongyi could be alleviated, and conflicts between them could be reduced.

The so-called crowding in the Great Wilderness is not that tribes are next to each other, but that hunting areas overlap and food production areas overlap.

More importantly, cultivation resources are scarce. It is all too common for two tribes that grow in close proximity to each other to break out into a tribal war over a precious herb, thus creating a deep-seated feud.

It's like wild beasts; the higher the level of the wild beast, the larger the hunting area it needs.

There should be a few.

At this moment, Shen Can spoke up again, "Even if they don't want to go, we have to push them to go, otherwise how can we expand the territory for the alliance?"

Hearing Shen Can say this, Huo Tang nodded in agreement. The alliance is Blazing Flame, and Blazing Flame is the alliance. How can we expand this business if we don't grow it further?

When the pot of food was cooked to a great size, even though Blazing Flame ate most of it, it still left the other tribes in the alliance stuffed.

"It's a pity that the land reclamation order of the Jiangyangbo tribe was destroyed thousands of years ago, otherwise we could have borrowed it to take a look."

The Jiangyan clan of Daidi are said to be among the first to come to Daidi to reclaim wasteland, and they came with a reclaiming order bestowed by an even more ancient clan.

Later, the Jiangyan clan became the Jiangyangbo tribe of Dai, but the land reclamation order from that time was destroyed when the earthworms ran rampant.

This is the origin story told by the Jiangyang Grotto-Heaven of Daidi, which is somewhat different from the origin of the Giant Mountain Clan that Shen Can heard from the Marquis of Yongshan.

Whether this statement is true or false is not important; perhaps what the Marquis of Yongshan and the chieftain of Jiangyang said is true.

"The order to reclaim the wasteland was granted by the Temple of Heroes."

At this moment, Shen Can spoke up, “The most important matters of the human race are sacrifices and conquests. The temple chief officiates, the warriors guard, and the land reclamation order must be sent to the ancestral temples of each tribe for worship after it is issued.”

The appearance of the Reclamation Order is not important; what matters is its function, which truly possesses the power to protect the tribe.

Only in this way can each department truly value the land reclamation order, preserve it properly, and respectfully honor it year after year.

The reclamation order conceived by Shen Can is a magical artifact based on array formations.

When any tribe in the pioneering stage faces the threat of extinction, the Pioneering Order can be activated to protect the tribe, giving it a chance to survive and await rescue.

Such an important item should not be handed over casually. Each tribe should send people to welcome it and establish an ancestral temple to offer sacrifices every year, so that each tribe knows that this is a tribal guardian artifact comparable to a spirit offering.

This will help address the current problem of various tribes being unable to receive the spirits of their ancestors.

The reason why various tribes cannot receive the sacrificial spirits is not only due to reasons within the tribes themselves, but also because the sacrificial spirits can only survive under special circumstances.

Over thousands of years, most of the humans who have died have truly died, leaving not a trace of their souls. If later generations want to guide them, there are no spirits to worship in the mountains and fields. You can't even perform a ritual dance for ten days and ten nights, let alone do a handstand.

Huo Tang believed Shen Can's words without question.

Then he asked, "Have you figured out how to arrange the sacrificial rites for the scattered settlements in Daidi?"

Smaller settlements are indeed easier for Blazing Flame to manage and control.

However, small settlements also have drawbacks, namely that they are too scattered. The earthworms did this to prevent the human race from becoming too powerful.

Blazing Flame's goal is exactly the opposite: to make the Daidi human race stronger and stronger under his control.

Sacrifices are a means of uniting people's hearts. If you want to bring the Dai people under your control, you must keep up with the sacrificial rites.

"What I said before was to trace back to the past in order to find the ancestors of various settlements in the Dai region who went out to the Heritage Mountain to cultivate martial arts and died in battle."

Taking Xingchen Mountain as an example, how many people from the surrounding settlements left their villages to cultivate martial arts on Xingchen Mountain?

Looking back through time, in every settlement there were always a few people who, unable to bear the oppression of the local antagonists, chose to leave and go to another settlement to cultivate themselves.

Starting from the various heritage mountains, we cross-referenced the findings with the surrounding settlements to find these people.

At that time, we can write books and biographies for these people, create stories, and spread them, thereby arousing the resonance of people in various settlements.

It's even possible to build ancestral temples for these people.

This is the solution Shen Can has come up with so far.

Next, we still need to cultivate temples for each small settlement.

In Shen Can's view, besides influencing each tribe through their temples, it would be great if he could extend his reach to the ancestral temples of each tribe.

Of course, it's not that he wants to interfere in the rituals of each tribe. He's not that idle. If he had to investigate every single small tribe, he would be exhausted.

His vision was that the Temple of the Heroes would be the main body of a tree, with the various ancestral temples as branches on the trunk.

As the alliance expands outwards, the number of humans who die in battle will increase, and some will inevitably become sacrificial spirits.

In fact, the number of spirits to be sacrificed will increase.

After the Alliance established the Temple of Heroes, it naturally had the advantage of summoning heroic spirits. No matter how small tribes tried to summon them, they could not compare to the Alliance's Temple of Heroes.

When it comes to sacrifices, no tribe can compare to a united alliance, where the spirits can receive offerings from the entire alliance.

If there were a way to communicate with the ancestral temples of each tribe, when a small tribe had the power to exterminate its entire population, it would be possible to summon the spirits from the Alliance Lord's Temple of Heroes through sacrifices, so that they could appear in the ancestral temples of each tribe.

This will maximize the protection of human tribes and bring the sacrificial spirits of various tribes into the alliance.

Unfortunately, he can only think about it for now; he can't do it yet.

Huo Tang and Shen Can chatted for a long time. As night fell, Huo Tang found a place to stay in Shen Can's side hall.

The two or four thousand warriors and shamans sent by the tribe quickly split up after entering the Dai region and went directly to the abandoned land in the northwest of the Dai region.

There are over a hundred Blazing ...

Information about the mountains and rivers of the abandoned lands was sent back to the Blazing Flame Tribe through communication devices and messengers.

With the data as a basis, Zhiyan made the decision to bestow the first batch of nine reclamation orders.

Side hall of the ancestral temple.

A round token floated in front of Shen Can. The token was about a foot in size and was covered with countless star-like points of light.

These points of light form the base of the array, constructing a high-grade fourth-order witch array.

Of course, the range of the witch array is not large. Once activated, it can only cover an area of ​​five miles in radius, but it can protect the core area of ​​the tribe.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Can finished checking the witch array on the reclamation order and looked at his grand-disciple standing in front of him.

This land reclamation token was created by his disciples and grand-disciples working together. Grand-disciple Yan Tan was in charge of forging it, while grand-disciple Yan Chong led the other disciples and grand-disciples to construct the formation.

According to ancient formation methods, they would not be able to create a fourth-tier high-grade witch formation. The formation within the entire token was created by combining ancient and modern formation methods.

"well done."

Hearing Shen Can's praise, the figures in the hall finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy appeared on their faces.

To receive praise from one's master is something to be proud of.

……

After the Wilderness Token was completed, Volcano, in the name of the Alliance Leader, announced the Alliance's decision to grant the Wilderness Token.

Furthermore, this edict was also transmitted to various superior tribes through local communication devices.

The reason why the imperial edict was also sent to the superior tribes was that, based on the survey of the Dai lands, there were areas where the superior tribes could begin land reclamation.

After all, it was a place where the ancient human race once lived. No matter how desolate it was, it was still much better than the situation Shen Can encountered when searching for the Kui Niu tribe.

As one of the first groups to explore the frontier in the Alliance, Blazing Flame takes it very seriously. Only if the first group is successful can they encourage other tribes to participate.
