The History of the Three Crow Tribe

"The Three Crow Tribe is the earliest recorded human Civilization tribe in the Life Era. They fervently worshipped [Birth] and spread His Will throughout the entire Isle of Hope."

For a long time, the Three Crow Tribe ruled almost the entire northern part of the Isle of Hope. It should be noted that at that time, the southern part of the Isle of Hope was prone to natural disasters and was uninhabitable. The Abyssal Volcano had never erupted and the underground was still unexplored. Therefore, ruling the north was basically equivalent to ruling all places where life existed.

However, this period of prosperity did not last long. Some unknown event caused a rift to develop within the Three Crow Tribe, and even led to a split due to disputes over Faith.

The once-prosperous Three Crow Tribe split into three groups: the well-known Ulun, the Uda with limited historical records, and the little-known Uma.

The Uren people, who roamed the north, became the Uren herders. Their customs are wild but pragmatic. After breaking free from the shackles of Faith, they do not devoutly Faith a single god, but constantly pursue the strongest one, "He," in order to receive protection and ensure the continuation of the tribe.

Therefore, their Faith has permeated the entire Path of Fate their lives, leaving an active mark on the history of every era of Life Era.

Even in the Civilization Era, there were still many people who recognized their will and followed in their footsteps who attempted to revive the Ulun tribe.

The Uda people once called themselves the children of "Birth", believing that not all life deserves His attention, and that only the bloodline of Uda is the most noble and honorable being born of Him.

This argument was regarded as blasphemous and heretical by countless Believer in the "Birth" Faith at the time. As a result, the descendants of the Uda bloodline were labeled as rioters by everyone and suffered large-scale expulsion and killing, and were once on the verge of extinction.

In order to continue the "bloodline of the gods," they created the "Divine Seeding Technique," which seals all the Vitality of a living being in specific limbs and organs. In this way, even if the living being dies due to external factors, these organ remains will still have the power to reproduce.

However, all life forms conceived through this evil magic will carry the Bloodline Memory of the Uda tribe and will believe themselves to be pure-blooded Wuda Rioters.

And so they have continued to exist in history in this inconceivable way.

As for the Uma people, there are very few records about them. All I know is that they call themselves the Wuma Sinners and created a strange Faith artifact called the "Umbilical Cord Shackles".

When someone is put into these shackles made from umbilical cord, he will revert to his original form as a newborn, losing all his power and becoming a stillborn infant.

This is a ritual they use to atone for their sins. Few know why they do it, but I have personally witnessed this bizarre instrument and nearly died under these shackles.

!!

Umbilical Cord Shackles?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu's pupils shrank simultaneously, as they both recalled the scene they had witnessed on the second floor of the courthouse.

Those dead infants hanging from the roof, swaying like wind chimes, clearly had "shackles" made of umbilical cords wrapped around their feet!

The two initially thought that was how Dolgo D dealt with the evil infants, but who could have imagined that those human wind chimes...

He's still alive?

So those dead babies hanging all over the roof were actually living, breathing Uma lives?

Could that be the gathering place of the Uma tribe?

Etc!

After saving Scorpion, Cheng Shi kept thinking about one question: if Scorpion didn't die, then who did Gou Feng kill, and whose corpse did he use to conceive his own people?

Upon hearing about the Three Crow Tribe, he finally realized a possibility: the Uma tribe!

The warrior who "Birth" likely had heard about the Uma tribe, which is why he recognized the hanging infants that filled the rooftops. He then freed one of the "lucky ones," killed him, and conceived a new version of himself.

But the dead infants hanging all over the roof didn't seem to have any discordant gaps at that time, so...

Cheng Shi and Mimi exchanged a glance, and the same thought arose in their minds: Gou Feng hadn't left at all!

He audaciously put the so-called Umbilical Cord Shackles on his feet and then hung himself from the ceiling!

He chose to discard all his power and blend into the pile of dead infants that resembled wind chimes, thus escaping Mo Shu's pursuit and deceiving his teammates who went to examine the bodies!

What a bold and meticulous chief!

He's really daring to gamble!

But then again, why are these so-called Wuma Sinners in Dolgo D, and what are they trying to do?

It should be noted that when the Life Era formed an imperial Civilization, the three gods of the [Life] Path of Fate had already descended, which means that at this time, more than a thousand years had passed since the split of the Three Crow Tribe.

Even in people's current understanding, these ancient tribes should have become extinct long ago, except for the Ulun herders who still graze in the north.

Why are they gathering at the Evil Infant Tribunal, and what is the Tribunal's connection to them?

Why has an institution meant to punish blasphemers fallen into such disrepair?

Cheng Shi had countless questions in his mind that needed to be answered, which meant he needed to gather more information as soon as possible. So he let out a heavy breath and reached out his hand toward Gao Ya.

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Seeing the Cheng Shi's and the other man's faces, Gao Ya realized they were hiding something from her. Recalling what had happened at the courthouse earlier, she vaguely guessed what was going on, so she frowned and looked away, asking:

"So the court has connections with the Three Crow Tribe, right?"

"Tsk, I do admire you [Folly] people a little. How did you figure that out?"

"Ah, a fool can never hide his thoughts."

Here we go again.

Cheng Shi scoffed and retorted, "Then I would like to ask you, clever soloist, can you hide your disdain for others?"

"..." Gao Ya's face darkened instantly.

But that wasn't all; Cheng Shi added another Yin-Yang remark:

"Ha, fools can never hide the contempt on their faces."

"..."

Zhang Jizu, watching from the sidelines with amusement, squinted and smiled, "Affected again?"

Cheng Shi pursed his lips. "No, I just wanted to curse."

"..."

Gao Ya was genuinely furious. It wasn't because he had been ridiculed; after all, when the "Folly" Believer got together, they often looked down on each other, so being retorted a couple of times was no big deal.

What angered her most was that the two men in front of her were not the fools she had described; they were quite shrewd, making it difficult to find an opportunity to look down on them.

When a Folly Believer loses the opportunity to distinguish himself in front of others, he will feel that he is about to be rejected by the Lord of Grace.

Because this is the Folly of God, who detests all folly and scorns all ignorance.

Seeing that Gao Ya didn't intend to shake hands, Cheng Shi didn't mind. He withdrew his hand and said:

"Pride is a serious illness. Alright, I won't discourage you anymore, Ms. Soloist. Before we begin the next round of operations, could you tell me what you prayed for?"

I need to reassess the risks of this Trials to figure out how to deal with a madman's intrusion and develop a new exploration plan.

Gao Ya did not respond to these words. She frowned slightly and then quickly resumed her cold expression, looking to the side with a deep gaze, clearly not wanting to answer.

But that fleeting frown and evasive gaze caused both Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu to pause in surprise.

Huh? No...

Dude, you didn't come here just to become a girl, did you?

Am I seeing things wrong?

Cheng Shi blinked in bewilderment and looked at the squinty-eyed man, only to see that the squinty-eyed man was also looking at him with uncertainty. After the two puzzled people looked at each other, their doubts disappeared.

Misjudgments may exist, but they cannot exist simultaneously in the minds of two intelligent people.

So, perhaps [Folly] brother... no, [Folly] sister's Trials goal has already been... achieved?

Ha, no wonder she didn't want to die out there. She didn't want to actively rejoin the team to win the Trials; she just wanted to stick with the main group until the Trials ended and pass safely.

What else can I say?

Cheng Shi clicked his tongue repeatedly, thinking to himself that since the apocalypse has arrived, everyone should have the right to pursue gender freedom.

"You are all experts, you are all experts. I realize that I was too conservative."

"..."
