destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei was no longer barely clothed; he was wearing the animal skins that the Long-Armed Men had presented to him.

However, the bark mask still made him stand out.

He wandered around, observing the transactions of these ancient human races.

It consisted mostly of various foods, herbs, and some slaves.

Yes, there were slaves in this era.

The Stone Raven settlement (the name Livy gave them) had no slaves, simply because they were too weak to be treated as slaves by others.

Fortunately, the forest provides shelter, making it difficult for outsiders to know their true strength, and therefore they will not attack them rashly.

In addition to these, there were some special items traded, such as pottery and bronzes.

Only a few of the most powerful tribes could make pottery, and as for bronze ware, it is said to have originated from the Jiuli tribe.

These things are all very expensive.

As for the axe on the long-armed man's body, he said it was also a product of the Jiuli tribe and was already considered a divine weapon, so it was definitely not for sale.

The trading session continued until noon the following day.

During this time, Li Wei took a nap at the campfire in the Stone Raven settlement to replenish his energy.

At noon, everyone packed up and left, but they didn't disperse.

Yes, there is meeting content.

An old man wearing a bronze crown stepped forward and said:

"The main purpose of this gathering is to discuss whether our Dongye people should migrate."

Upon hearing this, the hundreds of people below immediately began to discuss it.

With his exceptional hearing, Li Wei quickly extracted the relevant information.

It turns out that in this era, the human race was just an insignificant race among all the races in the world.

Although demons can all transform into human form, according to the demons, this is actually the appearance of gods, and humans are just born looking like gods.

The human race is numerous, but their strength is far too insignificant.

Some humans, like the Stone Raven settlements, are freely scattered throughout the world, forming settlements and tribes.

Some humans also choose to attach themselves to the powerful demon race.

What they have in common is that they all worship totem demons, but the Stone Raven settlement has a contract with a single deity.

Those human tribes that chose to attach themselves to the demon race were required to offer sacrifices to the entire tribe.

Dongye is an area scattered with many small and medium-sized human settlements.

The largest human tribe here, the Xuanyuan clan, worships the Tengshe clan, who are the true masters of this region.

Recently, the two major demon races, Bifang and Taotie, have started a major battle.

Neither of these two demon races is very friendly to humans. Of course, Taotie is even less friendly than Bifang.

The reason for discussing whether to migrate is that the Tengshe clan is said to be on the verge of being unable to withstand the pressure and must submit to the Taotie clan.

This place will definitely be taken over by the Taotie Alliance. Those demons are a brutal race that doesn't regard humans as intelligent beings.

In contrast, the allied forces on Bifang's side seemed to have some humanity.

The group argued for a long time, but still couldn't reach a conclusion.

Ultimately, they didn't know if the news that the Tengshe clan was going to side with Taotie was true.

The stalemate continued until evening.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the west.

The crowd stopped arguing and looked toward the source of the sound.

A large procession could be seen winding its way from the direction where the sun was setting.

They even had something called 'flags,' which looked to be made of silk.

The words "Xuanyuan" are written on it in charcoal black.

"It's the Xuanyuan tribe! Go and ask them what's going on with the Tengshe clan!"

And so, the two groups of people walked towards each other and quickly came into contact.

Li Wei noticed that the Xuanyuan tribe's group numbered several thousand, including men, women, and children, and it seemed to be a migration of the entire tribe. He had already made a judgment in his mind.

Sure enough, a young man stepped out from the Xuanyuan tribe and shouted:

"Gentlemen, the Tengshe clan has already pledged allegiance to the Taotie alliance. Out of consideration for our centuries-old friendship, they notified our Xuanyuan clan in advance to leave Dongye. You should also hurry and migrate!"

The old man wearing the bronze crown also went out and said:

"You must be Ji Yuanhong. Like father, like son!"

The young man clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, "You flatter me, Elder Mu, you are too kind."

"Is your Xuanyuan clan planning to join forces with the Bifang alliance?" Elder Mu asked.

"Yes. We can no longer stay in the territory of the Taotie Alliance, and the Bifang will certainly not let us humans settle down easily. We can only exchange participation in the war for survival."

Ji Yuanhong said with a wry smile.

Having received confirmation, the various groups dispersed and returned to their respective settlements to discuss whether to relocate.

Longarm and the others went back to the forest, but Li Wei stayed behind.

He planned to follow the Xuanyuan tribe.

"Who are you?" Ji Yuanhong asked curiously when he saw Li Wei, the strange man wearing a tree bark mask.

"Chief Ji, I am Wei Li, a native of Kunlun, currently traveling the world."

Li Wei had a sudden inspiration and said.

Previously, Long Arm mentioned that Kunlun was teaching martial arts to humans. Since he himself was a martial artist, pretending to be a Kunlun disciple was a piece of cake for him.

"To think it's the Immortal Master Kunlun! I, Ji, truly had no respect for such a great man!"

Ji Yuanhong bowed respectfully.

He didn't even consider the possibility of impersonation, because it was said that all the Kunlun Immortal Masters were very powerful.

Whether the journey will be fraught with peril or not, we'll find out by observing Wei Li's performance on the road.

Li Wei thus joined the Xuanyuan clan's entourage.

After chatting briefly with Ji Yuanhong, Li Wei figured out some things.

Unlike the Shiya settlement where leaders were chosen through religious sacrifices, the Xuanyuan clan's power transfer was hereditary.

Ji Yuanhong's father died in battle a few years ago in the conflict between the Tengshe clan and the Xuangui clan, and the position of the tribe leader fell to Ji Yuanhong.

This time, they followed the advice of the Tengshe clan and sought the protection of the more docile Shen clan within the Bifang Alliance.

This clan has a relatively good relationship with the Tengshe clan. Both sides were dragged into this war by the powerful demon race, so they probably won't put in a serious effort.

Li Wei realized that the relationships within the demon race were also very complicated.

The Tengshe clan joined the Taotie Alliance, but they had secret dealings with the Shen clan of the Bifang Alliance.

They even entrusted the human race, which they themselves protected, to the other party's protection.

Moreover, these demon races seem to have a very rich diversity of species.

He browsed through the princess's library. The demons of later generations were not so strange and unusual; their true forms were mostly ordinary animals.

Only ten thousand years have passed, and some powerful demon clans have lifespans of more than ten thousand years. How could they all have disappeared?

Were they all slaughtered by the later-rising human race?

Keeping his doubts to himself, Li Wei followed Xuanyuan southward.

Along the way, they encountered many demons, and Li Wei took the opportunity to demonstrate his strength, which surpassed the Qi Sea Realm, making Ji Yuanhong and the others completely believe that he was the Kunlun Immortal Master.

After all, most people in this era don't even know what true qi is.

They basically fight using only their vital energy and blood.

The Tengshe clan was indeed quite generous, as they didn't retract the blood pact with the Xuanyuan clan.

There are more than fifty contractors in the Xuanyuan clan.

Even without fully unleashing their totem power, their strength far surpasses that of ordinary people due to the contract.

With Li Wei by their side, the journey was relatively uneventful.
