Rumor had it that during the Desolate Era, there was a divine tree in the southern part of the Desolate Land that was connected to the earth and the sky. It was huge, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, and it was as tall as a mountain range.
A divine beast, the Ninth Heaven Kun Peng, had landed on it and built its nest. Hence, there was a legend that the Kun Peng lived on the World Tree.
There was no World Tree in the newly built city of the Gu Yuan Tribe, but there was a World Tree that covered the sky and covered the entire city.
The World Tree was tens of thousands of feet tall and pierced through the clouds. From afar, its lush branches covered a radius of hundreds of miles. Its drooping branches sank into the ground and sprouted again. It was like an ancient forest.
A single tree could form a forest.
The dark green tree trunk was at least a mile thick, and the entire tree could be seen as a world of its own. The bark was wrinkled and twisted, and there were many cracks on it that increased the friction. Even if a child were to walk on it, they wouldn't slip.
The trunk of the World Tree covered 200 miles of the inner city, and even the walls of the inner city were entangled with its leaves. The branches fell to the ground and sprouted again, turning into small saplings of the World Tree. They surrounded the outer city, forming an ancient forest that was 10 miles wide, making it difficult for the outside world to see what was happening in the inner city.
The entire World Tree was like a multi-layered canopy that covered the entire inner city and even extended to the outer city. From afar, it looked like a mountain.
"This is our tribe's new city!"
"It is as majestic as a divine mountain and as majestic as a mountain range. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has such a magnificent city. It shall be passed down for generations and forever guard the Southern Wilderness!"
"The Gu Yuan Tribe shall live and multiply endlessly!"
"Haha, our Gu Yuan Tribe shall be famous in the Eastern Wilderness!"
After the completion of the city, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe naturally began to move out of the secret realm. Back then, Xiao Chen had thought of letting all the people of the tribe live in the secret realm, but it had not worked out in the end.
Fish would naturally die if they left the water. The Desolate Land was the root of all the people. Leaving the Desolate Land, which had been rooted and multiplied since ancient times, might not be a problem for a short period of time. However, the Desolate Land had nurtured everyone and had left a mark on it for generations. This mark was deep in their bloodline and could not be erased.
The people of a tribe were also part of the tribe's destiny. Without the people, the power of destiny would be like duckweed in clear water, without roots!
Looking at the majestic city that had taken more than 20 years to complete, all the clansmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe felt their blood boil.
An old man's eyes welled up with tears as he murmured that his life had not been in vain. He stretched out his withered hand and stroked the cold wall, but he was unwilling to let go.
There were naughty children making a lot of noise, youths shouting like a tide, youths' Qi and blood surging, and middle-aged martial artists' auras whistling. At this moment, everyone wanted to shout.
This was especially true for the tribe members who had recently been assimilated into the tribe. Although the tribe was building a city, the migration of the tribe members from the Windfire Region had not stopped. After 20 to 30 years of continuous migration, the Gu Yuan Tribe's population had skyrocketed to 13 million.
Even the children and youths who had migrated over in the first few years had already grown up. Some of the women and young ladies already had children around them.
Their attachment to the tribe deepened their reliance on the tribe. The stronger the tribe, the more secure the tribe members would be and the more they would acknowledge the tribe.
At this moment, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe gathered one after another. Their eyes widened as they looked at the sky, filled with excitement.
"Senior Purple Cloud, Senior Giant Hammer, let's begin!"
In the void, Xiao Chen, the Purple Cloud King, and the Giant Hammer King stood in the void. Today, Xiao Chen was wearing a purplish-green battle robe and a tassel crown on his head.
"Alright!"
The next moment, the Purple Cloud King and the Giant Hammer King nodded slightly.
Buzz!
The next moment, there was a buzzing sound in the sky above the city. A beam of divine light shone in the sky, and in the divine light, there was a fairy-like figure with transparent wings on her back.
"Greetings, Master!"
Green Spirit appeared and bowed to Xiao Chen.
"Green Spirit, the Gu Yuan Divine City has been completed. This King has ordered you to take charge of the divine city and rule over everything!"
"How dare Green Spirit disobey Master's orders?" Green Spirit bowed again.
As Xiao Chen shouted, a drop of blood was squeezed out of his body. The divine blood gave off a nine-colored glow, and a mighty pressure shook the sky.
Buzz!
The next moment, it entered the space between Green Spirit's eyebrows. Immediately, the nine-colored divine light enveloped Green Spirit's body, and she turned into a nine-colored light ball.
"Today, the master of the divine city orders the spiritual body of heaven and earth to take charge of the city. Follow the heavens, understand the geography, and connect the divine meridians. Know all the buildings in the divine city!"
The next moment, as the Purple Cloud King shouted, thunder roared in the entire city. It was as if there was an earthquake, and the entire city trembled. The earth shook, and the mountains swayed.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
The entire divine city was filled with the roars of dragons and tigers. At this moment, there was an explosion of infinite divine light. Countless lines appeared, and surging divine characters and seals emerged from the corners of the city, heading towards the nine-colored light ball that Green Spirit had transformed into.
Nine-colored divine light streaked across the void, and auspicious aura descended from the sky!
Immediately after, the Purple Cloud King signaled to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen shouted again.
"My people, my Ancient Yuan Divine City shall be the place of protection for my tribe's bloodline. The new city has just been built, and there is no aura. Let's sacrifice the new city and dye it with our tribe's blood!"
"I dare not disobey the tribe leader's orders!"
As Xiao Chen shouted, the tribe's combat masters shouted from the west of the tribe.
"My Ancient Yuan Combat Masters will sacrifice the city with blood!"
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
One by one, the burly men forced out the blood in their bodies and gathered it into a lake of blood that surged towards Green Spirit!
"My Ancient Yuan Martial Artists will sacrifice the city with blood!"
The next moment, the blood that was like a rain of blood filled the sky and headed towards Green Spirit.
"My people, my Ancient Yuan Tribe will sacrifice the city with blood!"
Roars filled the sky and reverberated through the entire sky. They came wave after wave. At this moment, the ball of light that Green Spirit had transformed into was already surrounded by a lake of blood.
The blood in the heart was the essence of blood. It was a drop of blood from every one of the 13 million tribesmen. Even the tribe's children had relatives who had pierced their bodies and squeezed out some blood.
"Sacrifice the city with blood!"
"Sacrifice the city with blood!"
"Sacrifice the city with blood!"
…
Wave after wave of roars were earth-shattering, piercing through the sky. Buzz buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The lake of blood in the sky finally fluctuated. At this moment, the tribesmen of the Ancient Yuan Tribe fixed their eyes on the scene in the sky.
A beam of nine-colored divine light tore open the lake of blood and pierced through the sky. Green Spirit's figure appeared once again.
However, the current Green Spirit was very different. Her sparkling and translucent little feet were submerged in the blood. Not only was there not the slightest trace of blood, there was instead a trace of holiness. Traces of blood coloured lines flowed on her body.
"The soul of the artifact is the blood of the Green Spirit Fusion Tribe's tribesmen.
This time, Green Spirit bowed before Xiao Chen again. Although his voice was soft, it was clearly heard by every martialist of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"I, the Master of Ancient Yuan, the Baron of the Desolate Border, the King of the Human Race, the Conferred God King Xiao Chen, hereby summon my artifact soul, Qing Ling, to take control of Ancient Yuan Divine City!"
"Understood!"
"Order Artifact Soul, Green Spirit Palm God Shakes the Sky Formation!"
"Understood!"
"Order Artifact Soul, Blue Spirit Palm, Black Tortoise Sky Shrouding Formation!"
"Understood!"
"Order Artifact Soul, Green Spirit Palm, Southern Ming Li Fire Divine Phoenix Formation!"
"Understood!"
"Order Artifact Soul, Green Spirit Palm, Zhou Tian Star Sky Sealing Formation!"
"Understood!"
"Order Artifact Soul: Green Spirit Palm, All-Heavens Stars, Four Directions Earth Sealing Formation!"
"Understood!"
"Order the artifact soul, Green Spirit, to control the city's supervision!"
"Understood!"
"The famous artifact soul, Green Spirit, will be in charge of the city's defense!"
"Understood!"
… …
Every time Xiao Chen spoke, Green Spirit would bow. At this moment, the world was silent. Similarly, every order Xiao Chen issued contained a restriction on Green Spirit's body.
As the chief of the tribe, he controlled the entire city in his hands. He gave these rights to Green Spirit because he couldn't stay in the city all the time. Green Spirit needed to operate the city at all times to detect danger from the outside world.
"The Divine City has been forged. If we don't fuse it now, when will we?"
In the next moment, following Xiao Chen's roar, Green Spirit's body completely disintegrated, turning into specks of divine light that filled the sky. At the same time, the lake of blood also disintegrated and fell down.
However, when the tribesmen tried to dodge or reach out their hands to catch a drop of blood, they found that the blood directly passed through their bodies and merged with the city.
Weng weng weng!
As the blood of all the tribesmen of the Guyuan Tribe sprinkled onto the city, all the tribesmen suddenly found their bodies in a daze. Then, they felt that their surroundings had changed. It was as if the original sense of strangeness had disappeared and was replaced by an inexplicable connection with the city.
Immediately after, the Violet Cloud King took out a seal. The seal's button was actually a miniature version of the entire city.
He handed the seal to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen once again forced out a drop of blood and fused it into the seal. Then, he grabbed it and fiercely pressed it down on the city!
"Gather the people's hearts, establish the Divine City!"
Suddenly, the sky exploded with a thunderous roar. Countless divine runic symbols appeared. There were stars revolving in the sky, Divine Phoenixes spreading their wings in the sky, Kuafu giants soaring on the ground, and Black Tortoises roaring towards the heavens.
At this moment, it was as if all the divine splendor in the world had gathered in this city. At this moment, when the tribesmen of the Guyuan Tribe looked up, they saw divine light filling the sky. They even discovered that there were stars revolving in the sky above the tribe.
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the sky surged, and there were even streams of Spiritual Qi that appeared like a river, rushing towards the Divine City.
The entire Divine City seemed to have opened its mouth and began to swallow the origin energy and spiritual energy in the sky, as well as the power of the stars that fell from the sky.
The reason why Divine Gold was called a Divine Material was that it could absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth. This was an attribute that ordinary ore veins did not have. The entire city of the Gu Yuan Tribe was built with Divine Material, so it was constantly absorbing Qi of Heaven and Earth.
As the origin energy of heaven and earth was nourished, the grade of the city would slowly increase. The longer this phenomenon was, the more obvious it would be.
