Chapter 309: National Destiny and Tribal Development

What kind of power can oppose the destiny of a country?
That is naturally another national destiny!
The martial arts can condense all kinds of ancestral qi. The power of national destiny is naturally also a kind of ancestral qi!
In Zhou Tieyi's dantian, a sea of ​​blood and energy was boiling, a huge lotus was swaying, and a huge martial arts body was sitting in it.

Strands of national destiny power gathered from distant time and space, and after being refined by the authority of "State", they transformed from bright yellow to dark yellow.

The dark one represents the black soil and is the community; the yellow one represents the five grains and is millet.

A blood god son in the lotus fell into the martial arts true body, gathering Zhou Tieyi's own essence and blood, turning into a human fetus, like an egg, the black and yellow gathered together, like chaotic egg white, the two met, turning into a blood cocoon and falling on the dantian.

The light in Zhou Tieyi's eyes dimmed! Part of his strength faded because it was sealed in the blood cocoon.

But he couldn't help showing joy on his face.

feasible!

He carefully observed the chaotic dark yellow blood cocoon formed on the blood lotus in his dantian. Although it temporarily sealed his martial arts true body, he could feel that the vision of his martial arts true body and the authority of [martial arts] itself were transforming!

Perhaps I can find a way of practicing martial arts that does not require the blood and essence of other people at all!

Of course, I still have a lot of things to study now. The first step is naturally to re-generate my own martial arts true body and see what magical powers I will be able to have by then!
Because it is entirely his own spirit, energy and spirit, Zhou Tieyi does not need to consume the spirit, energy and spirit in his essence and blood like other seventh-grade martial arts practitioners. What he needs to do most now is to develop and strengthen the Yanhuang tribe and let the tribe gather more national destiny.

With the power of national destiny, it is equivalent to absorbing enough "gang energy", and naturally one can condense the gang smoothly.

Zhou Tieyi turned his gaze to the tribe.

After more than a month of recuperation, the Yanhuang tribe has completed its rule over the Zhupolong tribe. Under the influence of Zhou Tieyi's [Pregnancy] priesthood, the women have begun to become pregnant one by one, which also means that the bloodlines of the two tribes are beginning to converge.

Zhou Tieyi has ordered Wu Mu to teach the [Record of Supervising Soldiers and Killing Demons] to the three hundred slave warriors who survived the bloody massacre.

And this group of carefully selected slave warriors, driven by their thirst for strength and yearning for power, naturally made rapid progress in their martial arts training.

So even though they knew they were slaves, the warriors of the Yanhuang tribe felt a sense of urgency and practiced even harder.

Before this, their loyalty to Zhou Tieyi was unquestionable.

But under the protection and love of the powerful god Zhou Tieyi, people will naturally develop laziness.

And now that this laziness has just sprouted, it has been strangled by the urgency of tribal integration, which is also good news.

"Wu Mu."

In a new, huge wooden building in the tribe, Wu Mu put down the charcoal pencil in his hand and put away the half-written bamboo slip in front of him.

This wooden building was built at Wumu's special request and is the most luxurious building in the entire tribe except for the fire pit altar.

Wooden boards, bamboo slips and papers are displayed inside.

On the bamboo slips was the knowledge of Professor Zhou Tieyi, which Wu Mu had carefully recorded with a fine charcoal pencil.

As the witch of the tribe, he understood the importance of inheritance better than ordinary people. So even without Zhou Tieyi's guidance, he still selected a group of women to start learning the characters passed down by Zhou Tieyi, and tried his best to copy and record the knowledge.

I hope that this knowledge will be passed down with the tribe, instead of being like the previous Tauren tribe, which lost most of its heritage after experiencing a natural disaster.

With Zhou Tieyi's instruction, the tribe has of course started making paper, but the output of paper is not high enough for the time being, and the use of brushes also requires training. For Wu Mu, who has just started learning to write, he is more accustomed to using charcoal pencils, which is a result of more than ten years of living habits.

Wu Mu put on luxurious sacrificial clothes decorated with feathers, wore a mask with ox horns on his head, and walked slowly to the fire altar.

Compared to a few months ago, not only Zhou Tieyi has changed, but the tribe itself has also changed.

For example, with the formation of slavery and citizenship, and the transformation from tribal public ownership to feudal private ownership, the symbols of power and class divisions became increasingly obvious.

Many formalistic things symbolize this division, so Zhou Tieyi did not interfere too much with Wu Mu's current dress.

If he intervened, he would most likely be regarded as Wu Mu by the other slaves of the Zhulongpo tribe and would begin to be distrusted.

For leaders, many times not expressing a stance is a statement.

At least until now, Wu Mu has done a good job.

"god."

Wu Mu bowed his head respectfully, took a tied pheasant from the slave next to him, killed the pheasant with a bone knife, and offered a sacrifice to the bonfire.

Seeing this scene, the slaves of the Zhupolong tribe breathed a sigh of relief.

The sense of belonging to the Yanhuang tribe is also stronger now. You know, once the crocodile god of the tribe appeared, it required a living person as a blood sacrifice. Only humans with strong spirituality and strength can truly please the gods.

There are even many times when the crocodile god is so brutal and bloodthirsty that he would directly prey on the tribal warriors nearby.

Under the protection of this new god, they not only gained a new power called "martial arts", but this god was also more merciful than ever before. He only required ordinary animals as blood sacrifices, and there was no need to worry that the god would suddenly devour the people of the tribe because of madness one day, which was not uncommon in the surrounding tribes.

Zhou Tieyi waited quietly for Wu Mu to complete the sacrifice, and then ordered, "How many people are there in the tribe now?"

Of course he knew the details of these things, and he asked Wu Mu because he wanted to understand Wu Mu's control over the tribe.

Because attacking other tribes in the future will not be as easy as attacking the Zhupolong tribe.

He was able to attack the Zhupolong tribe at almost no cost.

One reason is information asymmetry.

The Crocodile God was lured out of his territory and into his own 'Divine Realm', causing His power to decline from the fifth rank to the peak of the sixth rank. With the rise and fall of His power, combined with his many magical powers, the mountain bear and water python, two exotic beasts that could originally exert the combat power of the sixth rank, were able to easily capture the Crocodile God, a fifth rank god.

But if a god is in his own divine domain, he can at least exert three times his own combat power!

Now, after occupying the Zhulongpo tribe, he has to continue attacking other tribes, not just facing one tribal god.

Based on the information obtained from the Pig Cage Po Tribe.

Continuing down the river, there is a huge plain with more than a dozen tribes scattered around. They form a loose alliance and work together to deal with enemies outside the plain, natural disasters and beast tides.

The most powerful of these tribes even have tens of thousands of people, and together with slaves, they form a large tribe of tens of thousands of people.

Based on the Shinto knowledge Zhou Tieyi learned.

Generally speaking, the devout worship of 100,000 people is enough to support the faith in a third-grade deity.

As for a large tribe of tens of thousands of people, even if it is not at the third level, it is at the fourth level. In addition, there is a circle of fifth-level tribes around them to help each other. A direct attack is not realistic, so some other small means are needed to assist.

After listening to Zhou Tieyi's question, Wu Mu calculated in his mind, then bowed his head and said respectfully, "God, the entire tribe now has a total of 1,330 fertile women, 116 babies, 272 male warriors, 300 slave warriors and more than 600 ordinary male slaves."

The ordinary male slaves mentioned by Wu Mu were the slaves originally owned by the Zhulongpo tribe.

There is a clear difference between the two.

The slave warriors of the Zhulongpo tribe still retained some of the power transformed by the Crocodile God's followers in their bodies, so even though the Crocodile God had been killed by them, they had usurped all of the Crocodile God's authority.

Zhou Tieyi still helped these slave warriors regain that part of their dependents' power. In terms of pure physical fitness, the physical fitness of these Manghuang tribal warriors was even stronger than that of ordinary people in the Great Xia Dynasty.

As for those ordinary slaves who have completely lost their faith in gods, they are the descendants of slaves. The power of family in their blood has completely degenerated. Coupled with poor diet, they are really like slaves in feudal society. They are not only thin, but also mentally dull. The weight difference between them and the tribesmen who have faith can even be nearly twice as much. They don’t even look like the same species!
If they want to practice martial arts and make progress, Zhou Tieyi must pour in a lot of resources, but this is absolutely impossible for a tribe that is currently in the development stage.

From this we can also see how powerful the gods that the Tauren tribe originally believed in were. Even though at least six generations have passed, the people of the Yanhuang tribe still have the strongest physical fitness among all the people Zhou Tieyi has seen!

It is comparable to the followers of the Zhupolong tribe, or even slightly better!
Among these ordinary slaves, Zhou Tieyi hinted to Wu Mu that if there were people who secretly learned martial arts, they could be recorded, but instead of punishing them, they could be given conveniences secretly.

In this way, even if only one person can be selected from the last thousand, this kind of slave who wants to climb up from the bottom is worth pouring resources into.

"Take the 'gift' I made and Leader Yan Xing and go to the tribes on the plains. I need you to obtain specific information about these tribes and purchase a group of slaves who can serve as warriors."

The slaves who could serve as warriors mentioned by Zhou Tieyi were all captives who failed in tribal wars. The power of their dependents had not completely degenerated, and their own will had not been erased.

Only in this way can one succeed in practicing martial arts. Of course, for major tribes, these slaves are the best objects of sacrifice to gods, so their prices are also the most expensive.

There are two types of gifts that Zhou Tieyi mentioned.

The first thing he did was to disassemble the body of the crocodile god, use the core bones to melt into a sword and the exquisite leather to make a face drum.

Because of the help of [Red Emperor Flame], Zhou Tieyi already possessed some of the military skills of forging weapons.

The second item was the copper coins he minted. Most of the people in the tribe were still at the stage of bartering, but the exquisite currency was extremely expensive even as a gift.

Of course, I also have to give it some "value".

After today's assessment of Hao Ren, Zhou Tieyi has decided to truly incorporate Hao Ren into his core team and grant Hao Ren the [Blood God Son] and the virtual godhood.

In this way, he can also borrow Hao Ren's business practice and try to forge copper coins that can bewitch people. This is the weapon he is confident can disintegrate the plain tribal alliance!
