Chapter 439: Ancestor of Soldiers
In the divine palace, Zhou Tieyi threw out a white jade chessboard, which turned into a portal. Warriors who had traveled through time from the barbaric era walked out one by one and looked around cautiously.
The first to come out were the Yanhuang people who stayed behind in the tribe. When they saw the magnificent and golden buildings, with white jade paving the ground, red copper pillars, and light coming from the void, everything seemed so beautiful that it didn't seem like something from this world.
Although this place is only a fragment of the Taihang Divine Court, it is a core fragment, as big as a prosperous town, and can be used to accommodate tens of thousands of people without any problem. Even if the number of people is ten times more, it can be connected to the divine kingdoms of several conquered kiln owners through nine pillars, which means that the entire Taihang Mountains can be used as a resettlement site.
Zhou Tieyi asked the people of the Yanhuang tribe who had adapted first to the situation to begin making arrangements for the human race that would follow. For the final battle at Yixian Gorge, he took away all the human warriors he could gather, as well as the human gods from the barbaric era.
While the people of the Yanhuang tribe were arranging ordinary people, Zhou Tieyi also released one of the gods.
The first one to come out was Kui Shen. Kui Shen's aura was erratic at this time. He had just condensed a third-grade kingdom of God and had already merged his kingdom of God with the ground veins of Yixianxia and fixed it. However, he was first injured by Peacock, and then forcibly taken away by Zhou Tieyi with holy power. Therefore, his kingdom of God suffered a severe blow at the beginning of its condensation, so that his kingdom of God had a tendency to break apart.
"Are you willing to be my god? Just as you promised, fight for the rise of the human race."
Zhou Tieyi looked at Kuishen and asked.
In the previous battle, Kuishen was certain that if Zhou Tieyi was really a member of the Yan clan and had regained his memory, he would assist the Yan clan and lead the people of Donghuang out of Donghuang. Although the process was very different from what he expected, Zhou Tieyi was indeed the "reincarnation" of the Yan clan, and he also defeated the extremely terrifying Peacock and led them out of Donghuang.
Kuishen's majestic body half-knelt in front of Zhou Tieyi like an inverted jade pillar, clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Lord God."
Zhou Tieyi did not act arrogantly. He walked forward and personally helped Kui Shen up with both hands. While doing so, Kui Shen felt his own divine power and authority begin to flow toward Zhou Tieyi. However, he was not too panicked, but quietly waited for things to develop. With the strength Zhou Tieyi had shown, it would be too easy for him to seize his power. There was no need to waste his time and energy on him.
Kuishen did not resist. Zhou Tieyi first easily obtained the authority of [War] from Kuishen, and at the same time integrated it with his own incomplete authority of [War] and [Martial Arts]. Pictures blended together, covering the scenes of human beings surviving in the wilderness thousands of years ago, forming armies, and driving away wild beasts, forming a new authority [Ancestor of Soldiers].
This is one of the ancestral sources of the human army. Once completed, it will be enough to transform into a first-class or even higher divine power in the future.
After the new authority was formed, Taihang Mountain, as Zhou Tieyi's current divine court, naturally also gained a lot of benefits. In the void, countless evil spirits were like vast clouds, pouring in from all directions, condensing into dark red soil outside the divine court, in which rules were intertwined, evolving into martial arts and military law.
The incomplete Divine Court was quickly completed, and the harvest was far greater than that of Zhou Tieyi when he recruited several kiln owners before. The entire Divine Court was shaking slightly in this completion. For a moment, a vast original ancestral qi descended from the sky, mixed with some incomplete and some complete dragon seals, which randomly fell on the human beings who had just arrived here from the barbaric era.
"It's a pity that he is not the Lord of Arms, but only the Ancestor of Arms."
Zhou Tieyi thought greedily, but he was already very satisfied to be able to obtain the [Ancestor of Weapons]. This was all thanks to the time ten thousand years ago. Otherwise, with the current strength of him and Kuishen, it would be difficult to obtain such a powerful divine power from the origin of rules.
As one of the ancestors of human soldiers, as long as human wars do not stop, he will be able to gain vast power from it. The changes and influences he has on the times far exceed those of the [Panyang Lake Water God], who also has the third-grade divine power.
"Imperial decree, Kui, you are the ancestor of the wild mankind, leading the human race out of the East Wilderness. Knowing that you are good at military affairs, I order you to be the supervisor of the Divine Court!"
The moment Zhou Tieyi made the announcement, his entire body seemed to merge into one with the Divine Court. As the ruler of this world, boundless dark red clouds of military evil gathered around him and condensed into a half-real and half-virtual Shinto talisman in his hands. It was extremely mysterious and fell from the sky and merged into Kuishen's Niwan Palace.
After obtaining the new divine power, Kuishen felt that the divine power that was taken away by Zhou Tieyi was not only returned in full, but he was also given the authority to guard the entire Divine Court and control the military affairs of the Divine Court.
This was already the core authority among the cores. It took Him several breaths to calm down the ecstasy in His heart. “I will sacrifice my own life and live up to my Lord’s trust!”
Zhou Tieyi nodded slightly, "Your kingdom of God can also be placed within the nine copper pillars, absorbing the earth veins for recovery."
"Yes."
Having obtained a part of the authority of the Divine Court, Kuishen naturally knew the usefulness of the Divine Court. He did not hesitate to pull out his own kingdom of God and took the initiative to merge it with one of the nine bronze pillars. The pulled out kingdom of God was like cracked porcelain, full of cracks, and even the origin had suffered some damage. Fortunately, there were new and more powerful divine power and the energy of the Divine Court's earth veins as supplements. After a few months of recuperation, Kuishen's strength would be fully restored, and even stronger than before.
Zhou Tieyi looked at the remaining gods again. Because Kui Shen had the [Supervisory Soldiers] edict bestowed by him, he enjoyed the faith of one of the ancestors of human soldiers. So even though he came from the barbaric era and had fewer believers, his own faith was endless and enough to support his third-grade deity status.
But Zhou Tieyi naturally could not bestow such high rewards on all the remaining human gods. Because they left the tribe, their own strength had declined to a certain extent.
Fortunately, Zhou Tieyi is good at making promises.
"You have made no contributions in the previous battles, but you have worked hard. However, I am the Emperor of Taihang, the Lord of the Divine Court, and I cannot fail to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. I will first record your hard work."
After hearing Zhou Tieyi's words, many gods who had been looking forward to it couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Zhou Tieyi took in their expressions. At least the pie in the sky must be visible to make people work hard. He said what everyone was thinking, "Are you disappointed?"
"Don't dare."
The gods present also knew that their power was limited. In the previous wars, Kui Shen and the Lord of Yanhuang, now the Lord of God, played a role far greater than them and the warriors of their tribes. Without the two of them, they would not have any chance of winning at all.
But disappointment is inevitable, especially now that he can no longer sense the faith of his tribe, and the power of everyone present is beginning to decline, he can't help but worry. Zhou Tieyi waved his sleeves, and saw pieces of ore that symbolized the origin appear in the divine court's origin space.
The Red Sun Emperor Gold wrapped in the dragon veins was in the shape of a coiled little dragon, with two dragon seals on each of its head, horns, claws, body, and tail. The Mysterious Dark True Iron in the Yin and Yang Qi was in the shape of a tortoise and snake, with a total of eight dragon seals on its tortoise shell. In addition, the tail that looked like a snake head had another seven dragon seals...
The gods were dazzled by the spiritual materials of grade three and above. Just by sensing the aura on them, they knew that any one of these precious minerals was likely worth more than those present.
Zhou Tieyi was also not vague. As his mind moved, pieces of ore fell from the original space and landed on the red soil outside that had just been condensed by the soldiers. Under the embrace of the soldiers, these original ores were tempered bit by bit, changing themselves into the shape that best conforms to the rules of humane warfare, transforming from innate ores into magical weapons.
"When the divine weapon is born, it will be bestowed upon those who have made contributions."
This time the cake was visible, and the gods bowed their heads and said sincerely, "The Lord God is wise."
After pacifying these gods, Zhou Tieyi taught them the [Tianyi Treasure Scroll]. Although these gods were equivalent to the fifth rank of Daxia, due to their primitive cultivation methods, many of their foundations were not solid. The decline in their strength this time was just the right time to consolidate their foundations.
After the arrangements for the Divine Palace were completed, the originally empty Divine Palace became lively and finally looked like a real Divine Palace.
Zhou Tieyi came to his own temple. In addition to the gain of a large number of personnel and the authority of the [Ancestor of Soldiers], several other gains should not be underestimated.
He took out a piece of branch, which was in a tangled shape. Even though it had been broken off, it was still as fresh as new, revealing endless vitality. What was even more peculiar was that there was a bright orange-red flame burning on the fresh branch, which not only did not consume the nutrients of the branch, but instead nourished the fresh branch.
"The Fusang tree."
This branch is obviously a branch of the legendary Fusang tree. It is also a living branch and may even be replanted. But what is more precious is the orange flame on it.
"The most important thing about peerless magic weapons is that they are born out of great luck. As long as there is enough great luck, even the branches that Yan Renshi used to make fire can be peerless magic weapons."
Zhou Tieyi laughed softly, he never expected that his brother's joke would come true.
After knowing some of the essence of the universe, he also understood why "great fortune" is more important than the innate ancestral qi and the dragon seal, because "great fortune" symbolizes the development of the times and the trends or results seen by billions of creatures on this planet as observers. Naturally, it is far more important than the ancestral qi and the dragon seal.
The flame in his hand symbolizes the Phoenix Ancestor Fire stolen by the human race. With the help of Yan Renshi's deduction, it became the altar fire of the first generation of humans and ignited the beginning of the human race's Shintoism. This is what makes this flame so precious!
Originally, according to the idea of Yan Renshi and Chidi, after the appearance of gods of the human race, after generations of cultivation, when a second-grade god belonging to the human race appears and masters the method of "Yi Xuan Ji", he will be able to realize the human race's desire to leave the East Wilderness, open the tomb of Yan Renshi, and obtain the inheritance therein.
Because only a second-rank god, together with the help of the Red Emperor, can preserve this human flame, or take this flame away from the Phoenix Ancestor's sphere of influence.
"I'm afraid that the reason why Phoenix Ancestor agreed to it was because he wanted to see the results of the human race stealing the origin of fire. He is like an old farmer who plants crops and decides whether to harvest them in the end."
Zhou Tieyi thought, considering the history he knew, it was completely understandable for Phoenix Ancestor to turn a blind eye. After all, the method of divine fetus was still a secret in the beginning, and even Chidi himself didn't know that he was another Phoenix Ancestor.
It was only because of this variable, I changed the result and allowed the fire of the origin of the human race's divine way to cross the ages and arrive in the present time and space.
"It's just that this ball of flame has not yet been truly refined and formed. It is still in the state of raw materials."
Zhou Tieyi thought about it seriously and took out a bright and perfect jade disc. Endless clouds rose around the jade disc, evolving into changing cloud scrolls. At the same time, a series of divine talismans appeared and disappeared, changing endlessly.
As Zhou Tieyi gathered a large number of gods, there were already eight third-grade gods alone, plus dozens of middle-grade gods and a large number of low-grade divine powers. So much power was enough to complete the incomplete Tianyi Jade Disc. Even with the help of the Yunlu method, the Tianyi Jade Disc and the Eight Phases of Taiyin had a certain connection. The magic weapon in the hands of this third-grade master had surpassed its strongest state at the time.
But a problem also arises, that is, the power of the Tianyi Jade Disc to restrain the third-grade gods is limited, and Zhou Tieyi can only restrain them with the help of the Taihang Divine Court, so now this third-grade jade disc is like chicken ribs to him, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
"Your chance has arrived."
Zhou Tieyi smiled and spoke to the spirit of Tianyi Jade Disc. Tianyi Jade Disc also felt the opportunity, bloomed with dazzling light, and actively integrated the fire of humanity.
The orange-red fire of humanity was originally the origin of the human gods, and it was extremely integrated with the Tianyi Jade Disc. The moment the two merged, the surrounding space and time became dark and profound, as if in an instant, Zhou Tieyi had re-entered the long river of time.
Pictures of the human race surviving in the barbaric era emerged, with human figures coming and going, from eating raw meat and drinking blood, to obtaining fire, and then passing on the fire from generation to generation, allowing the human race to get rid of barbarism and move towards the origin of civilization. At this time, Feng Zu discovered the growing human race, and with a trial attitude, accepted the human race as his believers.
The result was far beyond Phoenix Ancestor's expectations. After he passed down the knowledge, the seemingly weak human race actually flourished in a few hundred years. In just a thousand years, it had become one of the pillars of Phoenix Court. However, this also angered the original forces of Phoenix Court, especially the God Sovereign Group headed by Black Phoenix.
Under the trap set by the Black Phoenix, Yan Ren Clan had no choice but to flee from the Divine Court. However, what no one expected was that Yan Ren Clan had special divine power and actually took advantage of the Black Phoenix's trap, killed the Black Phoenix, and stole a portion of Phoenix Ancestor's power.
What followed was the history that Zhou Tieyi knew. There were more and more human figures, and they gradually condensed in the firelight, turning into a tall figure that reached the sky and the earth, standing in front of the dark and deep, vast river of time, illuminating this ten thousand years of time, witnessing and even determining the evolution of this long river of history!
