Recruiting Troops and Buying Horses

Meanwhile, the original chiefs of the Human Race's various tribes had all departed, leaving every tribe leaderless. Only the Youxiong Tribe and the Jiuli Tribe were exceptions, because Xuandu was a Daluo Golden Immortal rather than a martial artist, while Xuanyuan, as the common sovereign, needed to govern the tribes.

Hearing the people of the various tribes arguing endlessly over the selection of new chiefs, Xuanyuan recalled how he had previously needed the consent of every tribe before his policies could be carried out. Thus, he conceived the idea of seizing this opportunity to incorporate all the tribes into the Youxiong Tribe and govern them directly.

No sooner said than done.

Xuanyuan first absorbed the tribes near the Youxiong Tribe. Those tribes had always been the first to enjoy the benefits of Xuanyuan's inventions, and their people had long harbored yearning in their hearts. They merged into the Youxiong Tribe with barely any effort.

As the common sovereign, Xuanyuan possessed immense prestige among the Human Race. Wherever he went, none failed to submit.

In the southern Jiuli Tribe.

Only Xuandu and Guangchengzi were in the main tent, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Xuandu's expression darkened. "Master, has Xuanyuan discovered something?"

Guangchengzi pondered for a moment, then an enlightened look suddenly appeared on his face. He clenched one hand into a fist and struck it against his other palm. "Xuanyuan's move—I am willing to call him the greatest ambitious schemer in the Primordial World."

"Ah?"

"Master, what do you mean?"

Xuandu looked at Guangchengzi in great confusion.

"The final task of the Human Sovereign is unification!"

Guangchengzi's eyes grew ever brighter. Ecstasy surfaced on his face as he threw back his head and laughed.

"Hahaha, this humble Daoist understands!"

Seeing Guangchengzi shouting and laughing, Xuandu's confusion only deepened.

"Cough, cough."
