The Desolate Land was vast and boundless, and there were as many Human Race tribes as there were stars in the sky. For ordinary tribes, raising their tribe's level and protecting their tribe's inheritance was their greatest wish.
However, for Marquis Tribes, or even top Legendary Marquis Tribes, being conferred a noble title, carrying the providence of a region, and becoming a supreme king was what they pursued. Having the providence of a region would definitely bring endless benefits to the tribe's development.
Even if they were conferred a noble title, the providence would still shine upon the tribe, and the entire tribe would share weal and woe with the land. As long as the land was not destroyed, the tribe would not perish. Of course, the prerequisite was that the tribe would not be destroyed by an extremely terrifying and irresistible force.
For example, the Gu Yuan Tribe had been established in the Fallen Dragon Territory and had even fused with the geographical veins of the Fallen Dragon Ridge. However, with the Human Emperor's Edict, the Gu Yuan Tribe could legitimately connect with the geographical veins of the entire Desolate Border Land. The difference between the Fallen Dragon Territory and the Desolate Border Land was not just an order of magnitude.
"Gu Yuan Xiao Chen has received the edict. The Human Race shall prosper forever, and the Emperor shall have no boundaries!"
At this moment, even Xiao Chen's heart trembled. The moment had finally arrived. Once the Gu Yuan Tribe was connected to the Desolate Border Land and received the blessing of this land, it would be equivalent to establishing an everlasting foundation for the Gu Yuan Tribe!
It had to be said that before the Blood Battle for Providence, Xiao Chen had made the Gu Yuan Tribe cut off its connection with the geographical veins of the Fallen Dragon Ridge and give up its original territory.
When the Sky Symbol King had declared victory in the Blood Battle and declared that the Desolate Border Land would be conferred as the Gu Yuan Tribe's territory, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. The Fallen Dragon Territory was too small, and it had already restricted the Gu Yuan Tribe's development.
Since the Human Emperor had made such a promise, he must have been confident. If the Gu Yuan Tribe was defeated, they would naturally perish, and the geographical veins would also become ownerless.
Even the Desolate Border Region was only one of the hundreds of human regions in the human world. Moreover, in terms of area, number of people, and degree of martial arts development, it was only at the lower middle level. Only by standing at the peak of the Desolate Border Region could the Gu Yuan Tribe truly understand this wasteland.
The Ancient Yuan Tribe's goal was the Supreme King's Division that had suppressed the world for thousands of years. Their journey was the endless human world, and even the Hundred Races of the Heavens!
At this moment, after accepting the Human Emperor's Edict, the Gu Yuan Tribe had finally taken the first step out of the Desolate Border Region. The rest of the journey would be long!
At this moment, everyone was looking at Xiao Chen with incomparable envy in their eyes. Some of the tribe's warriors even had red eyes. They wished that they were the ones who received the Human Emperor's edict and that the Desolate Border Region would become the fief of their tribe.
However, they understood that this was simply wishful thinking. All of this was obtained through the Gu Yuan Tribe's bloody battles, and it was obtained through the deaths of their clansmen. Even if they disregarded the merits of winning the Battle of Karmic Luck, which tribe in the entire Desolate Border possessed the Gu Yuan Tribe's strength?
"The reward promised by This King that day has been fulfilled!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen had accepted the order, the Firmament Talisman Monarch's voice rang out with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Thank you, my lord." Xiao Chen bowed to the Firmament Talisman Monarch.
"This is what you deserve. There's no need to thank This King."
The Firmament Talisman Monarch's voice was calm, but in the next moment, his tone changed, and he immediately said, "Although the Gu Yuan Tribe has become the fief of the Desolate Border Region, the Human Race is currently facing a crisis in the Eastern Wilderness. The various small worlds of the foreign races have arrived outside the Hole Void Region and are eyeing the Human World like tigers. We can't completely hand over the Desolate Border Region to your Gu Yuan Tribe yet. We need your Gu Yuan Tribe and the Human Race's Ancestral Court to work together to resist the invasion of the foreign races."
As the Firmament Talisman Monarch spoke, he stared at Xiao Chen as if he wanted to see how Xiao Chen would react after hearing his words. However, Xiao Chen's expression was extremely calm. He merely narrowed his eyes slightly before returning to normal.
"I naturally know that the foreign races are facing a crisis now, and the Ancestral Court is the stabilizing force of our Desolate Border Region. My Gu Yuan Tribe will not be arrogant because of our achievements. We will follow the lead of the Human Race's Ancestral Court."
Naturally, he understood what the Sky Dome Talisman Monarch meant. Furthermore, he agreed with him. Even though he had the duty to protect the land as the Baron of a region, he had the responsibility to protect it.
However, even though Gu Yuan Tribe's strength seemed to be at the top of the entire Desolate Border, compared to the other races, it was still insignificant.
The Ancestral Court was the main force against the foreign races. He would not let the Gu Yuan Tribe charge at the front just because he had become the Baron of this land.
If that was the case, even 10 Gu Yuan Tribes would not be enough to wipe them out. If that was the case, the Gu Yuan Tribe would probably be the tribe with the shortest existence in the history of the Human Race.
"That's good. I hope that after this war, the Gu Yuan Tribe will become the true guardian of this land!"
Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, the Sky Talisman Monarch naturally understood Xiao Chen's thoughts. Facing such a powerhouse, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to hide it even if he wanted to, so he simply displayed it generously.
Just as Xiao Chen had thought, even though the Desolate Border Region had been conferred to the Gu Yuan Tribe as a distant territory, the Eastern Wilderness Imperial Palace had no intention of immediately pulling the Gu Yuan Tribe out to take charge.
In their opinion, the Gu Yuan Tribe was too young and inexperienced. They needed time to settle down and temper themselves. Perhaps after this war, the Gu Yuan Tribe would be able to become a qualified guardian of the land!
Buzz!
At that moment, the Renhuang's Edict, which was floating in the sky, began to shine. The purple-gold scroll, which had finished issuing the edict, gradually shrank and returned to its original size. However, there was an indescribable aura rippling out from it as it floated in the air.
Hmm?
Even the Sky Talisman Monarch's expression changed. It was easy to imagine that Xiao Chen had also noticed the change in the Sky Talisman Monarch's expression.
Buzz!
In the next moment, the purple-gold scroll shone with a dark-green divine radiance. Following that, a figure walked out of the scroll.
It was a thin figure in a dark-green battle robe. His face was shrouded in a layer of dark-green mist. Even though everyone tried their best, they could not see him clearly. They even felt like the world was spinning.
The dark-green figure stood there, but no matter how they tried to sense him, they could not sense him at all. It was as if his body had merged with heaven and earth. He was the heavens!
Even the Sky Talisman Monarch's aura was compressed into his body.
"Sky Talisman greets the Eastern Emperor!"
After a brief silence, the Sky Talisman Monarch bowed to the dark-green figure on the walls of the ancient bronze city. There was an indescribable shock in his eyes. What happened today had actually alarmed the Human Emperor.
What!
The Human Emperor!
This dark-green figure was actually the Human Emperor!
In the Eastern Wilderness of the Human World, only the Human Emperor could make a supreme ruler bow to him!
At this moment, all the human race cultivators were in an uproar. The Human Emperor had actually descended to the desolate border, even if it was just a figure of the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor overseeing the Eastern Wilderness was titled the Eastern Emperor, so he was known as the Eastern Emperor. He came from the Human Emperor Ji Family. After experiencing many trials and tribulations 108,000 years ago, he attained the Dao and became an emperor. The Human Emperor Ji Family was an ancient family that had existed for countless years. They had a noble bloodline and three emperors in one family. Their prestige shook the Hundred Realms!
"Greetings, Human Emperor!"
A tsunami-like voice resounded through the entire world. Desolate Border Region was a remote place that even supreme kings rarely visited. The appearance of a human sovereign could easily be imagined just how excited the hearts of many cultivators were, as well as how shocked they were.
The shouts were like the tide, coming wave after wave. The cultivators of the desolate border were expressing their excitement. After a full 15 minutes, the shouts still did not stop.
"The Eastern Emperor has descended to the desolate border, but what did Sky Talisman Monarch do wrong?"
After a long time, the Sky Talisman Monarch gathered his courage and asked the dark-green figure in the void.
"The Talisman Monarch oversees the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness. You have worked hard and contributed greatly. I have appeared because I sensed a change in the providence!"
The Eastern Emperor's voice was calm and did not have the slightest imposing manner. However, it made people immersed in it unknowingly.
Although he could not sense the slightest fluctuation in the Eastern Emperor's figure, Xiao Chen felt as if he had been seen through. Then, a voice sounded.
"I've forged the Ninth Grade Heavy Building, the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building realm, the perfection of the Profound Mystery of Raging Flames, the perfection of the Profound Mystery of Massacre, and the perfection of the Profound Mystery of Lightning.
"Cultivated the Purple Gold Battle Body left behind by the Purple Gold King Division. At the Eighth Heaven Perfection Realm, you have already cultivated the Blood Crystal Drill Battle Body to 80% completion."
"Not bad. No wonder you have such strong combat power. With the blessing of providence, you might be able to defeat an ordinary Ninth Heaven Heaven Legendary Realm martial artist!"
"I never thought that a genius like you would rise up in the desolate border that has been in decline for 100,000 years. This is indeed the cycle of providence. There is no unchanging providence in the world. It is time for the desolate border to rise again."
In just an instant, all of Xiao Chen's combat power was seen through by the Eastern Emperor. He softly said it in front of everyone in the desolate border, causing many martial artists to be shocked once again.
Compared to the illusory Taboo Emperor, Xiao Chen, a genius born and raised in the desolate border, felt real to them. Ever since Xiao Chen rose up, his name had already resounded in the desolate border. They could be said to have witnessed Xiao Chen's rise.
"The Eastern Emperor is too kind. This junior doesn't deserve it."
Xiao Chen also bowed. Facing the Emperor, whether it was the Human Race or the Hundred Races, they were all the top powerhouses. No one could avoid being shocked.
"Today, this emperor came precisely for you. You shouldered the fate of a region, fought a bloody battle against the Blood Clan, even more so obtaining victory, preventing Desolate Border's fate from falling again, benefiting Desolate Border's countless people. With great merit bestowed upon you, you will naturally receive the support of endless fate. It seems like you've already thought things through, wishing to walk another path of fate bestowed upon you!"
"Lord Eastern Emperor, this junior has already thought it through. I no longer want to condense a combat name. I want to use the providence this time to cast the title of Marquis!"
"Good!"
The Eastern Emperor swept his gaze over Xiao Chen again. Seeing that his will was firm and unwavering, he immediately said, "This Emperor has already sensed the feedback of the will of the race's providence. Today, I came to the desolate border to carry out the race's providence and confer you the title of Marquis."
"Desolate border's Guyuan Xiao Chen, listen to the order!"
"Guyuan Xiao Chen, receive the order!" Xiao Chen bowed again.
"Guyuan Xiao Chen, you rose to power in the desolate border. You have great merit in the desolate border, and you even made the desolate border a noble land. You were born and raised here, so you have multiplied in your homeland as your title."
"Today, this Emperor confer you the title of Marquis Aragami!"
