Tribal King

"New members of the tribe?"

The Tribal King's face lit up with joy. He looked at the Giant God Automaton, and a massive wave of Consciousness emanated from it, carrying an irrepressible joy.

"Little guy, release your aura, let me see your aura."

Bai Qiuran released her aura as instructed, allowing those around her to sense it.

"This aura... it is indeed that of one of our people."

A complex expression crossed the Tribal King's face.

"But this feeling... why are you only this tall even though you're an adult?"

"He came from the upper reaches of the Void River, the Tribal King."

The Blue-Skinned Colossus known Toynbee explained to Bai Qiuran, "Food is indeed scarce up there, so he's probably malnourished."

"So it came from upstream."

The Tribal King nodded.

"After that, if any survivors escaped upstream and gave birth to offspring, indeed... none of our people have ever grown up there. Our clan's home is still the Void Sea; the Void River is too small for us."

"Tribal King."

Toynbee said, "Regardless, he is one of our own, that won't change. Let's register him on the Holy Pillar first."

"That's true."

The Tribal King nodded Bai Qiuran, "Come with me."

Bai Qiuran followed the Tribal King to the Crystal Pillar.

What's your name?

The Tribal King raised his finger as he asked.

"Name?"

Bai Qiuran taken aback.

He really wanted to just pick any name to fool people, but he had a bit of a naming addiction, and the existing names were all different from what he had imagined. He was afraid that if there were any problems with the naming logic, he would give himself away.

So he simply replied, "I don't have a name, and I've always lived alone."

"Don't you have a name? Would you mind if I gave you one?"

The Tribal King asked.

"Can."

The Giant God Automaton nodded.

"Let me think... today is the eve of the Hunting Ritual, so how about I call you... Ule?"

The Tribal King said casually.

"It's a great name, I like it very much."

Bai Qiuran outwardly feigned some delight, but inwardly she held the name in disdain.

"Alright, Hunterbert..."

The Tribal King sketched several symbols on the Crystal Pillar, which Bai Qiuran saw. After the symbols took shape on the Crystal Pillar, they immediately turned into Light Filaments and dissipated into the Crystal Pillar.

"Okay, registration is complete."

The Tribal King withdrew his hand, patted Bai Qiuran's Giant God Automaton puppet on the head, and said, "After that, you will learn the common sense of our clan from Fein for a period of time, and then you will be free. Our clan doesn't have any other rules; we are all free brothers and sisters. From now on, you should live well in this Void Sea. Try to eat more and make up for the nutrients you've been missing."

"Knew."

Bai Qiuran somewhat annoyed. In the past, he was the one who would pat other people on the head like this, but now this Giant was riding on his head.

A thought struck him, and he secretly probed out with his Spiritual Sense to begin to assess the strength of this "Tribal King".

Just as the Blue-Skinned Colossus Toynbee said, it was indeed the lowest of the low in the tribe. This Blue-Green Giant Tribal King was far stronger than it.

"However, compared to me, she's still slightly inferior."

Bai Qiuran had made up her mind.

"You son of a bitch, if I ever get the chance, I'll beat you so badly you'll crawl on your stomach and get my revenge!"

He piloted the Giant God Automaton, following the Tribal King outside.

The Tribal King led him to a high point on the island, then raised his hands and said, "Fellow countrymen, look here! I have good news to announce. Today, Toynbee brought back a new member of our race. This proves that there are not only thirteen of us in the Void. After the Glutton riot, some of our people survived upstream and gave birth to him."

He raised one hand and pushed the Giant God Automaton forward.

"This man is named Ule, a new member of our tribe. Because he grew up upstream, he is malnourished and looks a bit thin, but he is already an adult. We hope you won't treat him like a child, but rather as one of our own. Come, Ule, introduce yourself to the tribe."

Bai Qiuran, somewhat helplessly maneuvering the Giant God Automaton, stepped forward and said through Consciousness fluctuations, "Hello, I am Ule."

"Welcome, Ule."

The Three-Headed Dragon Person was the first to applaud.

The other colossal creatures also joined in applauding for the Giant God Automaton Ule.

"Fein."

The Tribal King looked at the pink, feminine-feminine behemoth and said to it, "For the time being, you take him with you and teach him some common knowledge about our clan. I'll go check on the Holy Pillar first."

"Yes."

The pink behemoth Fein, touched her chest and bowed slightly to the Tribal King.

The Tribal King returned to the base of the Crystal Pillar, sat cross-legged, and began to enter a meditative state, while Bai Qiuran manipulated the Giant God Automaton to descend from the high ground and enter the group of giants.

Hello, little one.

The Three-Headed Dragon Person greeted Bai Qiuran first, then placed its paw on the Giant God Automaton's head and patted it.

Bai Qiuran silent and began to use her Spiritual Sense to measure the guy's strength.

"What are you doing, Salon?"

The tall Metal Person walked over and slapped away the Three-Headed Dragon Person's claw.

"The Tribal King just said that this fellow human is an adult, and we shouldn't treat him like a child."

"Oh dear, I almost forgot."

The Three-Headed Dragon Person scratched his head and laughed, "Sorry, my fellow countrymen."

"Just ignore him, that's just how he is."

The tall Copper Man also reached out, paused, and then placed its hand on the Giant God Automaton's shoulder.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wilk, this guy is Salon, the one who brought you here is Toynbee, and the one I'm going to have you try is Fein. Fein is the only Female-Like Individual who survived the Glutton Catastrophe in my race."

Then many more colossal creatures surrounded them. Some were emitting black smoke and flames, like Mobile supercontinents larger than the world itself. Others were covered in sharp spikes and barbs, obscuring their true appearance. In short, the appearances of this race seemed to be very different from one another, and they could only distinguish their kind by their size and aura.

Bai Qiuran counted them; there were twelve colossal beings present, plus the Tribal King, making thirteen. According to Toynbee's previous statement, the entire clan should have arrived.

This race doesn't seem to have any prophetic abilities, and Toynbee said they are naturally undisciplined and generally don't gather together unless there's something important. So their gathering here must be due to some special circumstance.

Fortunately, Toynbee asked about it soon afterward.

"It's rare to see all of us compatriots gathered together. Is something going to happen soon?"

The fat, Blue Colossus asked the surrounding tribesmen.

"You really don't care about these things at all."

Salon, the Three-Headed Dragon Person, said helplessly, "Have you forgotten? The Tribal King notified us to gather because the [Hunting Ritual] is about to begin."
