"Kings are hard to make, Marquis are hard to confer, and Titled God Kings are even more illusory." There was a hint of melancholy in the hall, but more of helplessness.
With different levels of strength, one's vision would naturally be different, and one would naturally know more secrets. In this aspect, Marquis Ziyang, who came from the East Imperial Palace of the Human Race's Ancestral Court, naturally knew more than Xiao Chen.
"The Eastern Wasteland is in danger. To be honest, it's not a good time for your Gu Yuan Tribe to be conferred a fief at the desolate border. With the blessing of fortune, you naturally have the obligation to protect this land. Right now, several small worlds of the Other Races are eyeing the Dongxu World covetously, aiming their weapons at the Human World. A bloodbath is inevitable."
Soon, Marquis Ziyang's words shifted to Xiao Chen. After all, the Gu Yuan Tribe had been conferred a fief and was now qualified to meddle in the affairs of the entire desolate border.
"Marquis, the rise and fall of the Human Race is everyone's responsibility. My Gu Yuan Tribe was born and grew up here. This desolate land formed the Gu Yuan Tribe. Do you think that if we don't confer a fief, we won't have to defend this land?"
Xiao Chen chuckled. He naturally understood Marquis Ziyang's words. Now that the entire Eastern Wasteland was in danger, the desolate border would naturally not be spared. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe had accepted a fief and enjoyed the blessing of the entire desolate border, they naturally had the responsibility to protect their fief.
"Our human race has flourished for countless eras. Generations of human emperors and kings have waged war against the hundreds of races in the universe, rebelling against the hundreds of worlds in the universe. Countless members of our race have been scattered on this land, dyeing the sky with their blood. How can we give this land away?"
"That's right!"
The eyes of Marquis Ziyang, who was originally sighing, suddenly lit up. The tattered aura on his body was swept away, and he was like a rising purple sun.
Afterwards, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if it's the foreign races that are facing a crisis, we humans have the Human Sovereign. Our heritage has been built up since ancient times, so we will naturally rise up and fight against the Hundred Races. There will be a day when we will flatten the Hundred Races World."
"Also, you have to settle your clan affairs as soon as possible and head to Marquis Palace in the Eastern Royal Region. You can use the Void Transfer Formation in the Ancestral Court to teleport directly to the Eastern Royal Palace in the Eastern Royal Region." Marquis Ziyang then began to tell Xiao Chen some things.
"If I may ask, Marquis, what's the situation in the other human realms after the outsiders started the battle of the power of fortune?"
After a while, Xiao Chen asked. This time, the Desolate Border Region was not the only region participating in the battle of the blood sacrifice. There were dozens of human realms in the entire Eastern Barren Territory, including the Southern Region of the Eastern Barren Territory alone.
"The other regions in the Eastern Barren Territory don't know. In the Southern Region of the Eastern Barren Territory, apart from the Desolate Border Region, there are also the Fiery Wind Region and the Southern Region of the Eastern Barren Territory. There's no need to worry about the Southern Region of the Eastern Barren Territory. It is a large region that has been passed down for a long time by the human race. Its strength is very strong, and it is the one that the foreign races pay the most attention to.
"Therefore, in this Battle of Fortune, the enemy of the Southern Region of the Eastern Barren Territory is the Lion Dragon Clan of the demon race. It is a very strong branch of the demon race and has the bloodline of the demon dragon. Although it is not a royal clan, its bloodline is still top-notch below that of a king.
"The human battle division in the Southern Region is called the Iron Blood Division. It is a legendary marquis battle division that has been passed down for 68,000 years. The clan has a deep foundation, with millions of clansmen and countless experts. Therefore, the battle is still in a stalemate."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he could not help being flabbergasted. This was a truly large tribe. They had both strength and accumulations. To think that he felt very satisfied with the Gu Yuan Tribe's current accomplishments. However, compared to these tribes, the Gu Yuan Tribe still paled in comparison.
Compared to the Battle of Fortune in the Southern Region, perhaps the battle between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Blood Fainting Family was just a small fight. They were not on the same level at all.
"As for the Fiery Wind Region …" Speaking of this, Marquis Ziyang's tone became gloomy. Obviously, the result was not satisfactory.
"The Human Clan has lost!"
"The Wind Wind Battle Division of the Human Clan in the Fiery Wind Region has been destroyed. More than half of the Human Clan's Fortune in the Fiery Wind Region has been taken away by the Scorpion Men. Moreover, the Scorpion Men have paid a great price to send a Scorpion Men Battle Master to the Fiery Wind Region. With the victory of the Battle of Fortune, the Scorpion Men have dominated the Fiery Wind Region."
"If you had not led the Gu Yuan Tribe to victory in the Battle of Fortune, perhaps the Desolate Border Region would have welcomed the Blood Race's Battle Master!"
"But …"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, he was stopped by Marquis Ziyang. Marquis Ziyang continued, "The Scorpion Men have only descended with a secondary force. Their purpose is not to attack the Human Clan. Instead, they want to lay a wedge in the Human Realm. When the Heavenly River outside the Dongxu Region is truly born, they will wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble in the Human Realm. Therefore, we do not have much time."
"Even if the Battle of Fortune and Blood Sacrifice falls into a stalemate because the strength of the two sides is not that different, it will not take more than two years at most.
"Two years?"
Xiao Chen murmured. This proved that the Gu Yuan Tribe still had two years to accumulate strength and expand the tribe.
"Chief Xiao, in two years, we will be bathed in blood together!"
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Chen and Marquis Ziyang cupped their fists and left the hall. This trip to the Ancestral Court of the Human Clan, Xiao Chen had gained a lot. Although the Gu Yuan Tribe could not truly control the entire Desolate Border Region, controlling it now was not the result he wanted.
Therefore, today, Xiao Chen only took back the Desolate Cauldron, which was used to stabilize the Desolate Border Region's Fortune. As for the other things, such as the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele, which was branded with the various tribes of the Desolate Border Region, they were still stored in the Ancestral Court.
However, the crisis of the Other Race made him feel that it was urgent to increase the tribe's strength. The more powerful they were, the higher their chances of survival would be.
He had also heard about the legendary Marquis Tribe in the Southern Territory, which had a legacy of 68,000 years. This made Xiao Chen feel a sense of pride, and he wanted to compete with them.
After walking out of the Ancestral Court, Xiao Chen did not return to the tribe. Instead, he turned around and flew in another direction. There was a tall bronze pagoda there, but it was not the bronze pagoda in the Gu Yuan Tribe's hall.
It was the place where he had participated in the Void Item Barter Ceremony.
The bronze pagoda.
It was considered a force in the Desolate Border City. Even Xiao Chen had only heard that this force's foundation was not in the Desolate Border Region. The Desolate Border Region was merely a branch of it.
Even so, the bronze pagoda's influence spread across the entire Desolate Border Region. Even the Barter Ceremony, which was held once every 30 years, was extremely attractive to the experts around the Desolate Border Region.
Apart from the Barter Ceremony, which was held once every few decades, the bronze pagoda would also hold an Barter Ceremony from time to time. Back in the day, he had entered the Desolate Border alone and bought many treasures at the Barter Ceremony, such as the egg of the four-star fierce beast, the Dragon Blood Turtle. Now, with the support of the tribe's abundant resources, the Dragon Blood Turtle had already reached the three-star realm.
Who would have thought that in less than 10 years, things would remain the same, but people would change? Xiao Chen had gone to the bronze pagoda to pay a visit to the master of the bronze pagoda.
A few months ago, when the Gu Yuan Tribe had concluded the Battle of Providence, the bronze pagoda had given the Gu Yuan Tribe 100,000 upper-grade origin stones and 100,000 jun of various ores and materials. He naturally had to thank them.
In addition, he wanted to trade some treasures from the bronze pagoda.
The crisis of the Alien Tribe had not caused the bronze pagoda to become deserted. On the contrary, because of the crisis of the Alien Tribe, the warriors needed to improve their strength as soon as possible. For this reason, a large number of warriors would buy all kinds of items that could enhance their strength.
In front of the bronze pagoda, there was a team of soldiers maintaining order. There was a continuous flow of people into the pagoda. In addition to the Barter Ceremony, the bronze pagoda would also open a hall on the first floor as a trading ground. After all, if there were more ordinary warriors, the benefits they could obtain every day would also be considerable.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Chen's face was covered with a faint green light, making it difficult for others to see his face clearly.
"Lord."
Soon, a warrior saw Xiao Chen and sized him up casually. Although he did not reveal any aura, he was still in a trance. No matter how he observed him, he was just an ordinary warrior.
However, after receiving thousands of martial artists every day, these manservants had already developed a pair of meticulous eyes. Immediately, they walked forward.
"I don't know what kind of treasures you need, Lord. The items on this floor are for ordinary warriors. The resources that Heaven Building Realm warriors need are on the second floor. My bronze pagoda has weapons and armors, spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits."
"Even the elixirs refined by the Gu Yuan Hou Tribe, the largest tribe in the desolate border, are for sale. Even my bronze pagoda has elixirs refined by Lord Marquis Xiao of the desolate border region."
However, the manservant's next words made Xiao Chen not know whether to laugh or cry. The elixirs he refined had become a ruse to attract warriors. However, this was not impossible.
The Gu Yuan Tribe and many tribes in the desolate border region had previously traded elixirs. Some of the elixirs used by the Heaven Building Realm warriors were indeed refined by him. As for how they got into the bronze pagoda, it was none of his business.
"I heard that there is a Hundred Treasure Pavilion in the bronze pagoda, and the treasures inside are the best in the desolate border region."
Then, Xiao Chen said softly.
The manservant's eyes suddenly lit up. Xiao Chen called himself the Lord, so he was naturally a Venerable. It seemed that he was in luck when he said he wanted to go to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
As long as this unknown Venerable chose an item from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, he would be able to get a handsome reward from the pagoda. Thinking of this, the manservant could not help but feel excited.
"Lord, what you said is true. The treasures in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion of the bronze pagoda are definitely the best in the desolate border region. A Venerable like Lord can definitely choose a treasure that will satisfy Lord Venerable."
"Let's go!" Xiao Chen said softly.
Hearing this, the manservant immediately led Xiao Chen to the depths of the bronze pagoda. This visit to the bronze pagoda was very different from the last time Xiao Chen came. However, Xiao Chen understood that there was a Space Formation in this pagoda. The space was ever-changing, so it was normal to have changes.
This time, he came to see if there were any treasures in the bronze pagoda that could open up a world with attributes.
The icy world opened up in the Seal of Mountains and Rivers reminded him that gathering treasures of various attributes and opening up a corresponding world would bring countless benefits to the development of the tribe.
