Whether it was Fuxi or Jiang Shinian, both had achieved tangible accomplishments before assuming the position of Human Race Co-Lord.
Only then had the various Human Race tribes been convinced.
Willing to be led and governed by these two Co-Lords.
But!
Xuanyuan was merely a child!
He had been born only twenty years ago!
He had no accomplishments whatsoever.
What right did he have to hold the position of Co-Lord?!
Even if the Earthly Emperor had personally appointed him, it would not do!
The powerful tribes all harbored thoughts of competing for the position of Co-Lord.
They rubbed their fists and flexed their palms.
Preparing their tribal armies.
Among them, the Jiuli Tribe that occupied Dongyi was the foremost!
The now-grown Chiyou had succeeded to the position of Jiuli Tribe leader.
After becoming leader, Chiyou vigorously developed agriculture and military affairs.
In terms of agriculture, Chiyou ordered people to reclaim vast stretches of wasteland and plant the Five Grains.
Other than the food needed for daily consumption, all remaining grain was stockpiled for future war preparations!
In terms of military affairs, Chiyou established an army.
Its initial size alone numbered ten million warriors!
It was incomparably powerful.
Furthermore, Chiyou improved smelting techniques, using copper to make armor and blades, creating sturdier copper weapons and Bronze Armor!
Although current productivity made it impossible to equip the entire army with iron gear, a small number of elite troops wore copper equipment.
Not only that!
Chiyou also established harsh and cruel criminal and military laws to regulate the army and tribe.
That was how Chiyou developed his tribe.
As for himself, with the Essence Blood of Ancestral Witch Houtu bestowed by Empress Houtu, Chiyou not only reforged his Great Witch true body!
His combat strength was comparable to a Perfected Great Luo Golden
