Chiyou Aimed to Conquer Ji Water
Xiong Tie's position in the Jiuli Tribe became delicate because of that "spoiler".
Chiyou took it seriously.
He no longer treated Xiong Tie merely as a mount, but took it everywhere he went, and would squat down every now and then to ask:
What did you dream about today?
Xiong Tie was in unbearable pain.
He wasn't dreaming; he was just making things up based on his limited understanding of Prehistoric World legends from his previous life.
But the words had already been spoken, so I could only bite the bullet and try to smooth things over.
Fortunately, his unreliable [Myriad Realms Roulette System] finally gave him a 20-pull after he accumulated enough points.
[Ding! Twenty consecutive draws in progress...]
[Obtained: <Second Turn Profound Art>]
[Gained: Nine Li Tribe Reputation +100]
[Gained: Chiyou Favorability +20]
[Gained: Cuteness +20 (Current Cuteness Value: 50)]
[get:...]
Although most of it was still a mess, at least it gave him something to look forward to.
Who knows, maybe one day he'll draw Quasi-Saint cultivation level, and then he'll be able to escape from Chiyou's clutches.
And so, Xiong Tie lived in the Jiuli Tribe for an unknown period of time.
On this day, flames soared into the sky above the Black Stone Altar.
Chiyou stood at the highest point, bare-chested and tattooed, with two horns on his head, his body covered in blood-red armor that seemed to solidify into a fierce aura.
At his feet knelt thousands of tribal leaders and warriors, all wounded and weak.
There was no longer any resistance in his eyes, only deep awe and a trace of unwilling submission.
Xiong Tie perched on Chiyou's shoulder, his black and white fur gleaming faintly with gold in the firelight.
He looked at the dark mass of surrendered followers below, his bear-like face calm, but his mind was racing.
[Ding! Major event progress detected: "Nine Li Unification" 100% completion]
[Points +1000!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the title "Nine Li Prophet," permanently gaining +500 reputation within the Jiuli tribe and receiving partial blessings of fortune.]
[A shift in faction fortune has been detected; the "Human Emperor's Struggle" main quest has been updated...]
A series of system notifications flashed before my eyes.
Xiong Tie didn't rush to draw the prize; he looked at Chiyou.
This lord of the Jiuli held aloft a ferocious battle axe forged from the bones of a hundred tribes and refined gold, his voice booming like thunder:
"From this day forward, there will be no more Black Mountain, White Water, Crimson Flame... only the Jiuli!"
"The bloodlines of the shamans all originate from the same source; they should all revere the ancestral god and serve under the command of Chiyou!"
"Those who submit to me shall enjoy the glory of the Jiuli, share their flesh and blood, and cultivate their murderous aura together!"
Those who oppose me--
"His form and spirit are annihilated, forever suppressing the earth's veins!"
A terrifying aura and oppressive force swept across the entire area, causing all those who had submitted to tremble and prostrate themselves in submission.
"I am willing to serve Chiyou as my lord! I will be loyal to the Jiuli! I would gladly die ten thousand deaths!"
The roars were like a tidal wave, and the murderous aura soared to the sky, causing subtle changes in the celestial phenomena above the Jiuli tribe, with blood-red energy forming clouds.
Xiong Tie clicked his tongue in amazement.
How long has it been?
The Witch-Demon ended in Primordial Era, yet Chiyou was able to subdue thousands of large and small Lich tribes in the surrounding area single-handedly, relying on his own strength and the legacy left by the Witch Clan.
Although his "spoilers" and suggestions certainly contributed to the plot.
For example, sowing discord and winning over rivals, forming alliances through marriage, and sharing profits...
But Chiyou's own strength, courage, and skill were the key factors.
"Boss, what's our next step...?"
Xiong Tie carefully traced a question mark near Chiyou's ear with his paw.
Chiyou his head, a sharp glint flashing in his blood-red eyes. His voice was low and deep, yet carried an undeniable, decisive killing intent.
"Ji River."
Xiong Tie's heart skipped a beat.
As expected... we still can't escape this main storyline...
"It is said that on the banks of the Ji River, in the You Xiong Tribe, there came a boy named ' Ji Xuanyuan '."
Chiyou spoke slowly, his gaze falling on Xiong Tie.
"Iron Eater Beast, you really are a genius, you were absolutely right."
Xiong Tie gave an awkward laugh.
If he hadn't been trapped, he would have already sought refuge with Ji Xuanyuan.
That's enough...
Anyway, I'm just Chiyou's mount.
I hope the Emperor Xuanyuan won't make things difficult for a cute panda like me...
Chiyou was completely oblivious to Xiong Tie's unusual behavior; at that moment, all he wanted was to unify the Human Race as quickly as possible.
He looked in the direction of the Ji River and grinned:
"The Human Emperor of Heaven?"
"We, the people of Jiuli, inherit the bloodline of our Father God Pangu and are born from the earth's malevolent energy. Why should we need the approval of Heaven!"
"The Co-Lord of the Human Race shall take it by force!"
"Pass on the order—"
Chiyou's voice shook the four directions:
"All tribes of Jiuli, immediately assemble your troops March to Ji Water!"
"I want to see for myself just how capable that Heavenly Human Emperor really is!"
"Roar--!"
Below, the newly surrendered sorcerer warriors erupted in a thunderous battle roar, their murderous aura surging like Fierce Beasts awakening to devour its prey.
Xiong Tie shrank back and silently opened the system panel.
[Main Event: The Human Emperor's Struggle (In Progress)]
[Faction: Jiuli - Chiyou]
[New Phase Mission: Participate in Operation "March to Ji Water" and ensure that Chiyou gains the upper hand in the first engagement]
[Task Rewards: Karma Points awarded based on contribution, with a chance to obtain special items]
Xiong Tie was at his wit's end.
As a Transmigrator, he couldn't change anything.
He also suggested that Chiyou unify the Human Race race through peaceful means, but Chiyou simply wouldn't listen.
There was no other way but to try his luck with the lottery and see what good things he could get.
[Ding! Ten consecutive draws in progress...]
[Obtained: <Third Turn Profound Art>]
[Gained: Nine Li Tribe Reputation +200]
[Gained: Chiyou Favorability +30]
[Gained: Fierce Qi Affinity +10]
[Gained: Cuteness +20 (Current Cuteness Value: 70)]
[get:...]
A set of <Third Turn Profound Art> flooded into his mind, more profound than the first two revolutions, directly pointing to the essence of refining the body with baleful energy.
As Xiong Tie was pondering this, Chiyou scooped him off his shoulder, pulled him close, and stared at him with his blood-red eyes:
"Iron Eater Beast, what did you dream about this time?"
Looking at the undisguised aggression and expectation in Chiyou's eyes, Xiong Tie sighed inwardly.
Its claws scratched at the ground:
"Boss, regarding Ji River... the Chan Teachings Disciples may have already intervened."
Xiong Tie remembered that during the Human Emperor's Tribulation, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect all came down to help Ji Xuanyuan.
Originally, Chiyou had already suppressed Ji Xuanyuan and the Twelve Golden Immortals.
result...
Unrivaled under heaven, yet enemies descend from the sky.
Nine Heavens Xuannü, a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, reappeared and was beaten up by Chiyou.
Moreover, the Human Race also has the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor watching over them.
To put it bluntly...
Chiyou's defeat was inevitable; the sages had already planned it out.
"Chan Teachings Disciples?"
Chiyou You frowned, then sneered:
"During the Witch-Demon Calamity, they were so frightened that they stayed indoors. Now that the Measure Calamity has just ended, they dare to interfere in the affairs of us Lich people?"
"Perfect! Let their blood be used to consecrate my battle axe!"
Xiong Tie had no worries about Chiyou's strength.
As early as the Witch-Demon, Chiyou, as Great Witch, possessed the strength of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Chiyou is now at the Grand Unity Perfection stage.
If not for the limitations imposed by his origins, Chiyou would have had a real chance to break through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
The disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects are at most at the Early Grand Unity, which is no match for Chiyou.
