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

The Gushan tribe is about as powerful as the Snake-Lizard tribe, but the Gushan tribe does not have as glorious a history as the Snake-Lizard tribe.

At this moment, watching the human race tow back the serpent lizard race's fleet, with so many serpent lizard corpses still on the ships, and even the serpent lizard chieftain and elders hanging from the bow, Chief Gushan's expression turned solemn.

Damn it, we just made contact with the Bull-Snake Clan here.

I thought my family had finally found our opportunity, but now it seems that this opportunity isn't so easy to come by.

It might turn into a disaster.

"Shut up, aren't you afraid that a powerful expert might intercept your divine sense transmission?"

The clan chief of Gushan looked around and then reprimanded the second elder.

The Second Elder was so frightened that he also looked around cautiously, revealing a lewd and wary expression.

At this moment, within the City of Ruins, many alien races showed expressions of horror as they gazed at the serpent lizard carcasses and serpent ships that had been dragged back.

"The human race sent a treasure ship before, and it actually wiped out the entire serpent lizard race fleet. How come there's not even a ripple from a battle of this magnitude?"

"From the northwest, who came from the northwest? Did they witness the battle?"

"Our people just came from the northwest and didn't hear a sound. How could there be no noise when so many creatures are fighting?" "Hiss, the humans must have used some means to cover up the battlefield."

"What a joke! If humanity doesn't use some methods, what if some creature takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!"

The many creatures within the ruins whispered among themselves, and many of them looked quite grim.

"From now on, everyone behave yourselves and don't try to harm the human race."

In every corner, beings were constantly exchanging thoughts, their words filled with solemnity.

The bloody skeletons of the snake-lizard tribe are the best testimonial.

To the southwest of the city, Niu Hun was also watching the serpent lizard race fleet that the humans had towed back.

"My lord, this..."

Behind Niu Hun followed a slender, bony figure.

Niu Hun turned to look at the Bone-like creature and said, "Are humans more powerful, or am I, the Bull-Snake, more powerful?"

Upon hearing this, the Bone-Rock Clan creature's expression changed, and it quickly replied, "Of course, the Bull-Snake Clan is more powerful!"

The Bull-Snake Clan specializes in capturing humans.

"Hehe."

Niu Hun chuckled lightly, "Good to know. Work hard, and your clan might still have a chance to become the Bull-Snake Clan."

"ah?"

Gu Tu was taken aback; he didn't understand what Niu Hun was saying.

What opportunity to become a member of the Bull-Snake Clan? He is a Bone-Rock Clan member, which is a different race from the Bull-Snake Clan.

"The Ox-Snake Clan is a general term; anyone who has made contributions can be classified as an Ox-Snake."

Niu Hun's words carried a hint of seduction, "A thousand years ago, I didn't belong to the Bull-Snake Clan either. I was granted the Bull-Snake body because of my merits, and I also possessed exceptional talent for cultivation. Now, I'm only one step away from comprehending the Dao."

For a small race like the Bone Ridge Clan in the vast wilderness, Niu Hun knew all too well what they needed.

Despite the abundance of sixth-tier races in the Great Wilderness, the leap from a sixth-tier race to a seventh-tier race is like an insurmountable chasm.

There are far too many sixth-tier races like the Bone Ridge in the Great Wilderness. They may have survived for tens of thousands of years, but in reality, they are just like duckweed floating on water, without any foundation whatsoever.

Their greatest dream is to one day comprehend the Dao and hope to transform into a seventh-order Saint.

But taking this step is extremely difficult.

As for changing one's appearance and becoming another race, what does that matter in the face of the opportunity to potentially reach the seventh rank?

As expected, as Niu Hun opened his mouth, Gu Tu's breathing became slightly rapid.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Bone Ridge Clan has a late-stage sixth-tier being like him, or even a peak sixth-tier being within the clan. This also means that the Bone Ridge Clan has opponents of equal caliber.

The matter is quite simple. The cultivation resources needed by the late-stage and peak sixth-tier Bone Ridge Clan are also needed by other beings of the same tier. The Great Wilderness is vast, but the amount of high-tier resources that each region can produce is limited.

If you use it, others can't use it anymore. If you go to more distant places to seize it, you will naturally have conflicts with forces in more distant places.

Unless you have the foresight to venture deeper into the wilderness to seek opportunities, you'll face powerful wild beasts and challenging terrain—it won't be easy. At this point, if you say you're giving up and want to maintain the status quo, then sorry, if you don't move forward, others will.

For the sake of resources, you are just as much a thorn in someone else's side.

What? You're saying you don't want the resources anymore?

Nobody believes it!

Besides, for some creatures, cultivating themselves is nothing compared to devouring blood and indulging in delicacies, and slowly developing their race is nothing compared to plundering other races.

Since you've become weaker than other beings of the same level due to your lack of ambition, you and your race are excellent resources for others to grow stronger. If a late-stage or peak sixth-tier being passes away, and the next generation doesn't catch up, resulting in no new late-stage or peak sixth-tier beings, the situation will be even worse. You'll inevitably become a delicious feast, attracting numerous wolves to devour you.

At this point, you can say that I will hand over everything that the late-stage and peak sixth-tier ancestors cultivated, including their techniques and magical artifacts, and we can retreat to the mid-stage sixth-tier power, okay?

No.

Because the jackals present also possessed mid-stage sixth-tier power.

Even if you retreat step by step to the remote corners of the mountains, leaving only the third-tier leader, you will still be attacked by the third-tier tribes in the forests. Not to mention, this situation is almost impossible.

Because after the late stage of the sixth rank and the peak of the ancestor's passing away or falling, your race will probably be completely swallowed up by other races.

How could we possibly have the chance to compete with a small, uncivilized tribe in the mountains?

"Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Gu Tu asked, 'My lord, can we truly become the Bull-Snake Clan?'"

"You can use your own channels to find out if they're lying to you."

Niu Hun did not directly respond to the question about bone coating.

Although the matter concerning the Bull-Snake Clan is a secret, it is still possible to find out if one is willing to put in the effort.

Becoming a member of the Bull-Snake Clan is quite simple. Just enter the Spirit Palace, and their Palace Master can perform a baptism, allowing the creature to transform into a Bull-Snake body.

Of course, the forms of the bull-snake bodies differ among different races after metamorphosis.

But generally speaking, they all end up looking like a bull's head and a snake's tail.

"The Bone Ridge Clan is willing to obey your command, sir."

Gu Tu bowed his head and swore to serve Niu Hun.

"I'll make the arrangements."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Niu Hun drifted away. The Bone Clan was not the only race he had gathered.

It was only after he discovered that the serpent lizard race was secretly capturing humans that he came up with a solution; he could also gather a group of sixth-tier races to serve him.

Perhaps within the Spirit Hall, he was merely a peak sixth-tier Earth Spirit Envoy, a junior whom several Heaven Spirit Envoys could casually order around.

However, this identity, if presented to most sixth-tier races, would be enough to make them bow down.

Besides, after this mission is completed, he will surely become the new Celestial Envoy, and he should have a group of sixth-tier races as his subordinates.

Niu Hun was quite certain that the Heavenly Spirit Envoy was at the seventh rank.

As for whether he himself could comprehend the Daoist principles, he had no doubt that he would fail.

The Spirit Palace has its own cultivation system, with a sufficient variety of Daoist principles for people to comprehend.

"I suppose the new near-seventh-tier disciple sent by the Palace Master has already made contact with them."

Niu Hun walked along with a smile on his face.

The discovery of the auspicious beast and the human race is a contribution that no one can deny. Even if several more near-seventh-tier beings were recruited, they would still owe him a debt of gratitude. Since being driven out of the cave last time, he has never returned.

He had already sensed the ill intentions of the three Celestial Envoys towards him.

Those three old bastards are heartless and unjust; he will definitely settle this score with them once he reaches the seventh rank.

Before that, he had no intention of returning to the cave.

It's likely that these three will also emerge from their caves and wait in the City of Ruins, trying to find an opportunity to strike before the new beings sent by the Palace Master arrive.

The return of the humans dragging the skeletons of the serpent lizard race caused horror among the many alien races in the ruins city.

Then news spread that the humans had rescued hundreds of humans from the serpent lizard race's fleet.

News also spread that the human race intended to exterminate the entire serpent lizard race.

Everyone then realized that they had all been secretly taking advantage of the opportunity to treat themselves, while the lizard tribe was actually hunting them on a large scale. The lizard tribe really knew how to do business.

In the following days, warriors from the Bone Ridge Clan, Gushan Clan, and Qiulin Clan, who had received a call from Niu Hun, gradually approached the vicinity of the human race's settlement under the guise of merchants.

There are too many alien races coming and going from the City of Ruins, almost all of them are here to sell and buy spiritual items.

This situation involving the three races is quite normal among the many races in the City of Ruins.

There was a reason why Niu Hun chose these three races.

All three races are at the sixth rank and possess considerable strength, but they are all considered "minor races" in the Great Wilderness.

Their races all live in one area, unlike the Dragon Clan, Human Clan, and Owl Sun Clan, whose bloodline branches are everywhere.

These creatures approached the human settlements, waiting for the Heavenly Spirits to command them to act, and then attacked the humans together.

Human settlement.

The more than one hundred humans captured by the Serpent Lizard Clan were all imprisoned in a small domain of the Serpent Lizard Clan's ancestral treasure ship when Yan Jiang led his people to fight against the Serpent Lizard Clan.

Because the ancestral treasure ship of the serpent lizard tribe was indeed extraordinary, and because the captured humans were all imprisoned by layers of serpentine spiritual restraints, they miraculously did not suffer much energy impact.

However, they were all suffering from snake venom and were listless, which affected their Heavenly Vein and Divine Treasury.

Yanzun, who was the most seriously injured, not only had his divine treasure shattered, but his stone statue was also destroyed.

The snake lizard tribe wasn't wiped out entirely; many were left alive, and even the snake lizard chief was killed only after his soul was searched.

"The Golden Serpent Clan!"

The information gathered and ended up in Yan Jiang's hands.

He hadn't expected that after defeating the lizard race, there would be another golden serpent race, an incredibly powerful seventh-tier race.

"Why must we humans be used as sacrifices for the seventh-tier ancestor of the Golden Serpent Clan who is about to pass away!"

"If that's the case, even if we wipe out the lizard tribe, the golden serpent tribe will also learn of our situation from them, and they might still try to attack us."

"Fortunately, we intercepted this information, allowing us to prepare for the arrival of the Golden Serpent Clan in advance, as long as it's not a seventh-tier individual personally..."

"For a seventh-tier being to personally capture my human race as a sacrifice is utterly shameless."

Inside the hall, several figures sat down beside Yan Jiang, discussing the information they had obtained.

"If a seventh-tier cultivator really comes, we'll just go into the ruins to take refuge for a while, since we can't get into the seventh-tier area anyway."

"Even the Dragon Clan wouldn't allow a seventh-tier being to destroy this ruin."

Yan Jiang listened to the words of everyone present without saying a word, silently refining the semi-mysterious divine liquid that Shen Can had given him.

Although it was refined by Shen Can into something unrecognizable, its medicinal power was still several times higher than that of ordinary Xuan Shen Spirit Liquid.

He felt that his cultivation was progressing too slowly.

He always felt that the enemy of the human race was constantly stabbing him in the rear.

"The Golden Serpent Clan has several young masters, while the young master of the Serpent Lizard Clan is Jin Qiu."

Judging from the memories of the serpent lizard chieftain and elders, the offerings after a seventh-tier being's death are extremely important, seemingly involving the obsessions of seventh-tier beings. The more important the matter, the more likely it is that this young master of the Golden Dragon Clan will personally lead his people here.

The annihilation of the Serpent Lizard Clan was to establish our authority. If the young master of the Golden Serpent Clan were to arrive, this effort might fizzle out. Next, we need to prepare, upgrade our formation, and get the Sun and Moon Ship ready.

After telling everyone to get back to their work, Yan Jiang took out a communication jade talisman.

He felt that his strength was still too weak, but the human enemies hadn't given him time to cultivate.

The Juyue Mountains.

Floating islands.

"The temple has a close relationship with the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince. If the young master of the Golden Serpent Clan comes, he can use the Dragon Clan's influence to maneuver around the temple."

Shen Can placed the communication jade slip down.

Yan Jiang is asking me for help.

Overall, Yan Jiang's strength is too low, and she is not yet worthy of the attention of the Crown Prince of Zhangshui and the Crown Prince of Zuizhen.

In the circle of the eldest son of Zhangshui, the first thing to look at is his character and the second is his talent.

In fact, after the annihilation of the serpent lizard tribe, the task of searching souls was still carried out by the giant beast's clone, who knew immediately why the serpent lizard tribe had captured the human race.

Shen Can is now pondering the issue of the obsession of living beings revealed by the seventh-level Golden Serpent Clan's passing.

Ancient and prestigious families indeed know secrets unknown to outsiders.

The human race's situation was far more dangerous than Shen Can had originally anticipated.

Behind the lizard clan is the golden serpent clan. Yan Jiang is facing such a test now that he has just entered the sixth rank. It is no wonder that he is in such a dangerous situation.

As the third-generation patriarch of the Blazing Flame Clan and the second-generation leader of the Alliance, he naturally has to take charge.

Shen Can was satisfied with Yan Jiang's performance; she spoke up when she couldn't hold on any longer, without beating around the bush.

More importantly, they are also very pragmatic; damn it, they even dare to take temples out for a spin.

If there's a job I can't do, I just go to the temple. This isn't the first time, and I'm not embarrassed at all.

However, there is no rush to go to the City of Ruins. According to the memories of the snake lizard chieftain, there is still one year left on the agreement between the snake lizard clan and the young master of the golden snake clan.

During this period, even if the young master of the Golden Serpent Clan realized that he could not contact the Serpent Lizard Clan and personally went to the Ruins City, it would still take three to five years.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Can has finally settled the affairs within the alliance.

With the Star Chart Array fully completed and under the control of the Centipede Spirit Restriction, it is strong enough to withstand near-seventh-tier beings.

After more than two years of tempering by lightning and fire, Kui Sheng's physical body surpassed that of a sixth-tier being, and he could now bear the combined battle intent of three battle masters. After arranging the alliance's defenses, Shen Can headed towards the Ruins City.

Inside the ruins.

The Silver Horned Beast King strode through the forest, and a bluebird cooed softly twice above its head.

The Silver Horned Beast King was in terrible condition, covered in horrific wounds, some of which exposed the bone.

But this is just a facade; it's all just a cover-up.

The bluebird sensed something was wrong years ago.

However, this feeling was intermittent, and there was no way to determine what kind of danger it was.

This ambiguous feeling must be due to some living being deliberately concealing their observation.

Of course, Silver Horn didn't tell the Crown Prince of Zhangshui about this. He was also a near-seventh-tier cultivator, and it would be a loss of face for the Beast King to reveal such unfounded rumors.

Besides, in what way is he inferior to the Crown Prince of Zhangshui?

Besides, it's best for family members to handle their own affairs.

With the exit of the ruins within sight, the Silver Horned Beast King spoke, "If there's danger, you run first."

"Gurgle."

Bluebird tilted its head. "Don't worry, who can run faster than me? Even your brother can't catch me. I'm curious, who's spying on us?"

"No matter who it is, just look and you'll know."

The Silver Horned Beast King's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he quickly concealed it and walked towards the gate of the ruins.

"They're out!"

When the Silver Horned Beast King led the Bluebird out of the ruins gate, the three Celestial Envoys, who had been wandering around the city for a long time, immediately looked over from three directions.

Boom!

The three Celestial Envoys attacked from three directions simultaneously. The blood energy they enveloped was like splattering swords, turning the houses and living beings around the three figures into ruins and pieces of flesh with a series of "poofs".

The terrifying energy exploded in the ruins city.

Prince Pinzhen, who was sleeping on the stone gate above the ruins, was immediately awakened.

The dragon's two eyes were wide open, not filled with sudden, unexpected anger, but with great excitement.

hold head high!

"kill!"

While the Bull-Snake Clan was attacking the Silver Horned Beast King, Niu Hun unleashed a divine power from across the sky.

A bull's head, its entire body covered in blood, charged towards the human settlement.

Under Niu Hun's command, more than ten sixth-rank warriors of varying levels appeared from the three alien races and simultaneously bombarded the human race's spirit barrier, which resembled an inverted bowl.

P.S.: Tomorrow's update will still be tonight; I still have one more day of IV drips to finish.
