Enfeoffment originated from the end of the ancient Desolate Dark Age. When the Ancient Desolate Human Emperor was still alive, he unified the human world and carried out the first enfeoffment of the human race.
However, during that era, the Ancient Desolate Human Race had enfeoffed the various regions of the human world. The human world was divided into five continents, and each continent was divided into hundreds of human regions.
Powerhouses were enfeoffed to guard the various regions and lead the human race. Of course, there were thousands of regions of various sizes in the human world. It was impossible for the human race to have so many powerhouses to guard each region. Therefore, other than enfeoffing powerhouses to guard some of the human regions, there were also some human regions without powerhouses that were directly under the jurisdiction of the human race's ancestral court.
This rule was passed down from generation to generation. Previously, the Desolate Border Region had been directly ruled by the human race's ancestral court. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe had been enfeoffed, the Gu Yuan Tribe would naturally be in charge of the Desolate Border Region!
Xue Zhu returned to the altar after receiving Xiao Chen's enfeoffment. Then, the other disciples of the War God Palace bowed to the top of the altar and received Xiao Chen's enfeoffment to become the tribe leaders of the middle-ranked combat divisions!
Twenty-six middle-ranked combat divisions had been enfeoffed by Xiao Chen in the surrounding lands of the Desolate Border Region. Among them, the southern region had the most middle-ranked combat divisions with ten. The remaining tribes were enfeoffed in the eastern, western, and northern regions of the desolate border!
As long as the twenty-six middle-ranked combat divisions could be gathered and developed, they would be able to protect the hundreds of millions of people in the Desolate Border Region.
"All of you came from the War God Palace. Although you have left the Gu Yuan Tribe and have been enfeoffed, you are still members of the Gu Yuan Tribe."
Xiao Chen's gaze swept across the Great Elder, who was standing upright. Great Elder Tie Shi immediately gestured and walked out.
"Lord Tribe Leader has bestowed great kindness upon us. Now that you have left the tribe alone to guard the vast wilderness, you are allowed to pass on the martial arts manuals you have learned in the War God Palace to your respective tribes!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Tribe Leader!"
Cultivation techniques were the foundation of a tribe's inheritance and reproduction. In the War God Palace, the worst martial arts manual they had cultivated was at least Earth-level Medium Grade. Now that the Guyuan Tribe had allowed them to pass on the martial arts techniques they had learned to the tribe, it was a great favor.
Among them, there were even many who had cultivated more than one martial arts technique. Now that the Gu Yuan Tribe had lifted the restrictions on the inheritance of techniques, these techniques could all become their clan-defining techniques!
"Other than that!"
The Great Elder's voice rang out again, instantly attracting everyone's attention. At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with extreme jealousy when they looked at the 26 new Clan Leaders below the altar!
"Clan Chief has once again bestowed upon each middle-grade combat division another ten thousand sets of superior armor, as well as the corresponding weapons and supplies to help you form the clan protector combat division!"
Hua!
Immediately, there was an uproar below. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Ten thousand sets of superior armor was definitely a huge fortune for them, but the Gu Yuan Tribe had actually taken out two hundred and sixty thousand sets at once!
The 26 warriors were divided into various parts of the desolate border, each defending a territory of a hundred thousand miles or even more. There was nothing to be jealous of. The more powerful the tribe was, the more vast the area that the tribe's strength radiated. Not to mention a hundred thousand miles of territory, even if it was two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand miles of territory, they would not care.
The desolate border had a territory of millions of miles. It was vast and boundless, and there were many barren lands!
However, each tribe had ten thousand sets of superior armor!
They were classified as superior, which was enough for Blood Refining Realm warriors to use. How many Blood Refining Realm warriors were there in the desolate border region? They might have high-grade weapons, but they might not necessarily have high-grade armor!
In particular, the Rangers who had come to get the Gu Yuan Tribe's title had a sense of defeat in their eyes. With these ten thousand sets of armor and weapons, when these people gathered their tribesmen, they would definitely attract more warriors!
"Desolate Border Rangers, Jian Feng, Feng Ying, Dong Cheng, Hu Bo, come forward to receive the order!!" The Great Elder below the altar shouted.
"Desolate Border Rangers." Four figures stood up and shouted in unison.
"Jian Feng."
"Feng Ying."
"Dong Cheng."
"Hu Bo."
"Greetings, Lord of the Desolate Border!"
Four Rangers with the strength of a Sixth Level Heavenly Venerable knelt down below the altar and respectfully saluted Xiao Chen!
Venerables were powerful enough to establish an ordinary marquis combat division, but even if they were in the Venerable realm, they had not collected enough Divine Gold to forge a Luck Tribe.
Under the guidance of the Great Elder, the four Venerable realm Rangers respectfully saluted Xiao Chen and then walked to the top of the altar!
When they were dozens of feet away from Xiao Chen, the four Rangers were solemn and focused. Among them, Jian Feng and Feng Ying had once fought alongside Xiao Chen and killed the Ghost Race in the Ghost Race's Void Road. It had only been a few years, but fate had made a fool of them. Xiao Chen's strength had left them in the dust.
His status was something they had to look up to!
Now, they had even submitted to Xiao Chen. Even if they had established their tribe, it was with the help of the Gu Yuan Tribe. From now on, Gu Yuan was their leader!
"Although you are Rangers, over the years, you have bathed in blood in the desolate wilderness, killed foreign races, and protected my desolate border. Today, as the lord of the desolate border, I confer you the title of marquis division leader!"
"I bestow the Cauldron of Fate as the divine item of your tribe. As my Gu Yuan Tribe's vassal tribe, you will be under my protection for generations to come. Your bloodline will never end, and your tribe will be passed down from generation to generation!"
Xiao Chen's voice was like thunder. In reality, as the lord of the desolate border, Xiao Chen's tribe had taken root in the entire desolate border. With the help of fate and earth veins, his voice had already spread to every corner of the desolate border and every human's ears.
"Desolate border Ranger Jian Feng wishes to establish a marquis division of Jian Feng. I hope for Lord's grace!"
Venerable Jian Feng bowed again and shouted respectfully towards Xiao Chen!
"Approved!"
Xiao Chen's words were like gold and jade. The moment he finished speaking, the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele shone brightly and the name Jian Feng Tribe appeared!
"Desolate border Ranger Feng Ying wishes to establish a marquis division of Feng Gen. I hope for Lord's grace!"
"Desolate border Ranger Dong Cheng wishes to establish a marquis division of Dong Shan. I hope for Lord's grace!"
"Desolate border Ranger Hu Bo wishes to establish a marquis division of Hu Po. I hope for Lord's grace!"
"Approved!"
The Ten Thousand Tribe Stele was like a small mountain. It shone brightly and the names of the three marquis divisions appeared!
Strictly speaking, there was a huge difference between marquis divisions and middle and high ranked divisions. It was a qualitative improvement.
Also, the god item used to protect fate also increased in grade.
At this moment, First Elder Tie Shi had a purple gold tray with four purple gold scrolls on it. He walked up the altar and came next to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took one of the scrolls and opened it. He looked towards Venerable Jian Feng and said, "Marquis Division Jian Feng wishes to establish a marquis division of Luo Ya Mountain in the north of the desolate border and guard the path to Luo Ya Mountain!"
"Jianfeng obeys!"
"Marquis Feng Gen wishes to establish a marquis division of Luo Long Mountain and guard the Luo Long Mountain!"
"Marquis Feng Gen wishes to establish a marquis division of Luo Long Mountain!"
"Marquis Dong Shan wishes to establish a marquis division of Luo Long Mountain!"
"Marquis Dong Shan wishes to establish a marquis division of Luo Long Mountain!"
"Marquis Hu wishes to establish a marquis division of Luo Long Mountain!"
"Hu Bo Marquis receives the order!"
Jian Feng and the other three Venerables respectfully took the purple scroll from Xiao Chen's hand. This purple scroll was just like the edict Xiao Chen received from the Human Emperor.
This was the proof that the Ancient Yuan Tribe had issued to their subordinate tribes. With this imperial edict, the few great Wanderers would have a legitimate reason to establish their tribes in the Desolate Border Region!
The four great wanderers held the edict in their hands. No, they should be called the leaders of their respective clans.
"Bestow the clan's divine treasure!"
Then, the First Elder, who was standing respectfully on the side, yelled again.
Immediately, four children walked toward the altar, each carrying a Divine Cauldron of Fate that was around two feet in size.
"Condense Clan Fate!"
When the four Divine Cauldrons of Providence were placed in the hands of the four Venerables, another shout rang out.
Buzz!
Immediately, a purple aura floated out of the altar. The four Venerables began to merge their heart blood with the cauldron, leaving their tribal marks on the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele.
After the enfeoffment of the four marquises was completed, Xiao Chen's enfeoffment did not stop.
Under the guidance of the warriors of the Ancient Yuan Tribe, the Thistle Fort, the Boundless Mountain, and some Heavenly Building Realm warriors came to worship on the ground. One by one, they were bestowed the divine treasure of fate by Xiao Chen.
Four Marquis Divisions, two Superior Grade Combat Divisions, and fifty-seven Medial Grade Combat Divisions. This time, Xiao Chen had conferred a total of sixty-three Medial Grade and above human combat divisions. This nearly doubled the number of Medial Grade and above human combat divisions in the entire Gu Yuan Tribe.
Of course, these wanderer forces and warriors who were enfeoffed later would not be bestowed with martial arts manuals and high-grade armor like the 26 warriors of the Ancient Yuan Tribe's War God Palace.
What they received was merely the edict of the Ancient Yuan Tribe and the right to control the Desolate Land that spanned 100,000 to hundreds of thousands of miles. All the remaining resources needed to establish the tribe and expand the territory had to be prepared by themselves!
