Si Wenming's Road to Unification

"Southern Wasteland, magnificent rivers and mountains!"

Si Wenming stood atop a cliff, gazing over the vast land before him, his expression... somewhat complicated.

"What a pity. This land is no different from anywhere else. There is simply too much internal strife among humanity. We are brothers of the same blood—why can't we gather all our strength to fight the other races together, instead of fighting among ourselves?"

At the foot of the mountain, rows upon rows of prisoners from various tribes were being escorted away by Fire Crow Tribe and Qing Yi Tribe warriors.

Farther away, the women and children of the various tribes were also being marched toward the Qing Yi Tribe settlement under the escort of War Ancient Trees and Qing Yi Tribe warriors.

Watching these scenes, Si Wenming's expression grew increasingly complex.

Whether in the Central Plains or the Four Wastelands, humanity's internal conflicts had caused even greater harm than invasions by other races.

For years, Si Wenming had been pondering how to solve this problem.

Since ancient times, humanity had been organized as tribal alliances. Whether the Ancient Sacred Emperors or the present Emperor Shun, though they bore the title of "Humanity's Co-Lord," their authority over the various tribes had not truly been very strong.

Si Wenming had always wanted to end humanity's internal conflicts, to unite all its strength against foreign enemies.

He had traveled across the world, walked through the Four Wastelands, and gained a deep understanding of every tribe's circumstances and the roots of their conflicts.

The more he understood, the more helpless he felt.

Because... many tribes were blood enemies! Irreconcilable enemies who could not exist beneath the same sky—there was simply no way to mediate between them!
