The four patriarchs had a beautiful plan, but they had overlooked one fact.
The Boundless Heaven Continent was five times larger than Reincarnation Island!
After Kenshin took control of the Boundless Heaven Continent, the clans of the Rebel Alliance could all be given territories.
However, Reincarnation Island only had eighteen domains!
If they were given a domain and allowed to develop their forces in the surrounding ten domains, the Boundless Heaven Continent wouldn't be a problem.
In a few hundred years, the five ancient clans would be the five giants of Reincarnation Island, the kind that could cover the sky with one hand.
At that time, not only would they be the most powerful forces, but they would also be the ones in charge.
If there were more friction and disputes between the five ancient clans, it would inevitably lead to war.
How could Kenshin be willing to see such a situation?
Facing the eager gazes of the four patriarchs, Ji Tianxing replied expressionlessly, "The Rebel Alliance on Reincarnation Island has yet to be established, let alone defeat Commander Minghe and the Blood Prison Marshal.
We have yet to capture Reincarnation Island and save hundreds of millions of people … What can I promise you?
I won't make empty promises and give you any land or benefits.
The only promise I can give you is that after we succeed and I take control of Reincarnation Island, I will reward you according to your merits! "
Knowing Kenshin's attitude, the four patriarchs were somewhat disappointed and disheartened.
However, they also knew that the reason Kenshin had given them the cold shoulder for six hours was to make them understand this point.
Since they weren't qualified to negotiate with Kenshin, they could only accept.
Thus, the purple-robed patriarch of the Quicksand Clan took the lead in expressing his stance. He bowed to Ji Tianxing and said, "Lord Kenshin's teachings are correct. What we should consider now is how to resist Commander Minghe and his subordinates and save the hundreds of millions of people on Reincarnation Island as soon as possible.
The Quicksand Clan is willing to follow Lord Kenshin and contribute to saving Reincarnation Island! "
After saying these beautiful words, the Quicksand Clan patriarch took the lead in picking up the jade slip and began to read its contents.
The other three patriarchs were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes flashed with annoyance.
They all regretted that their reactions were too slow. They didn't rush to declare their allegiance before Patriarch Quicksand did.
In any case, everyone had to submit to the Kenshin. Taking the initiative to declare their allegiance to the Kenshin would earn them a favorable impression.
Unfortunately, it was too late for them to react.
Their only chance to perform had been snatched away by the Quicksand Patriarch.
The Hidden Dragon Patriarch secretly despised him and thought to himself, "This guy is really cunning. I have to be on guard against him in the future."
Indeed, the four clans knew that the Pine Crane Tribe had already latched onto Kenshin's leg, and that they had no chance.
However, the patriarch of the Quicksand Clan still took advantage of every opportunity and tried to gain a favorable impression of Kenshin.
Perhaps in the future, Kenshin would take care of the Quicksand Clan when it came time to reward them.
Thinking of this, the other three patriarchs' minds became active.
While they were secretly pondering and letting their imaginations run wild, the Quicksand Patriarch had already recited more than half of the oath of surrender.
His face had already turned pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. His expression and eyes were somewhat unnatural.
Obviously, he was frightened by the contents of the oath of surrender.
All kinds of harsh and strict restrictions and regulations made him break out in cold sweat all over.
He deeply realized that after reciting this oath of surrender, he would be completely trapped by Kenshin.
From now on, he must be absolutely loyal to the Kenshin. He must not do anything that would harm the Kenshin's interests and safety.
In other words, he must wholeheartedly work for the Kenshin. He must not be passive and slack off.
Moreover, even if the Kenshin did not give him any benefits, and did not give the Quicksand Clan any conditions or treatment, he could not complain.
"How is this an oath of allegiance and loyalty? It's clearly a contract to sell myself!"
This thought flashed through the Quicksand Patriarch's mind. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
However, he had already recited half of the oath of surrender. He could not give up halfway and had to finish reciting it.
Just like this, his tone became lower and lower, and his spirit became more and more dispirited. He weakly finished reciting the oath of surrender.
His whole body lit up with a dazzling divine light, and a wisp of Daoist Rhyme appeared above his head. There were also bursts of muffled thunder in the sky.
The oath of surrender was thus established. Under the supervision and restriction of the Heavenly Dao, there was no possibility of changing or destroying it.
The other three Patriarchs were also dumbfounded. They stared at the Quicksand Patriarch, at the divine light all over his body and the Daoist Rhyme above his head.
They had heard before that those forces in the Boundless Heaven Continent who surrendered to the Kenshin had to recite the oath of surrender and be supervised and restricted by the Heavenly Dao.
This matter sounded very mysterious, but they all thought that Kenshin was gilding themselves, deliberately mystifying them, and packaging themselves as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao.
In addition, everyone only heard that the forces and powerhouses of the Boundless Heaven Continent were forced to swear the oath of the Heavenly Dao, but they had not heard of anyone being punished by the Heavenly Dao.
Over time, everyone did not take the oath of surrender too seriously.
But now, the three Patriarchs witnessed the changes in the Quicksand Patriarch with their own eyes and were dumbfounded on the spot.
That dazzling divine light, rich Daoist Rhyme, and the might of the Heavenly Dao could not be faked!
Only then did they understand that Kenshin could really use the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the so-called oath of the Heavenly Dao was also true!
As bystanders, the three Patriarchs could all feel the mighty might of the Heavenly Dao. Their hearts were filled with uneasiness, shock, and fear.
One could imagine how the Quicksand Patriarch, who was enveloped by the divine light and Daoist Rhyme, felt at this moment under the Heavenly Dao.
He stood in place, stunned for a long time. It was not until the divine light and Daoist Rhyme dissipated that he gradually came back to his senses.
He did not raise his head to look at everyone's expressions. He silently bowed to Ji Tianxing and returned to his seat, remaining silent the entire time.
It seemed that this old man still needed some time to recover.
Next, it was the turn of the other three Patriarchs.
The three of them were all very nervous. They looked at each other, but no one went to take that jade slip.
The main hall was very quiet, and the atmosphere was also somewhat awkward.
However, the three of them could not be frozen here.
No matter how terrifying the oath of surrender was, they had already expressed their intention to side with Kenshin. They could not go back on their words at the last minute.
Even though Kenshin said that they would not be forced to side with them and swear allegiance.
Those who were not willing to side with them could leave on their own later.
However, they were not three-year-old children. How could they dare to completely believe this sentence?
If it were them, they would also not let the other party off so easily.
After all, Kenshin's whereabouts were currently a huge secret.
In order to be on the safe side and not leak this important information, they had to silence them!
The three of them hesitated for twenty breaths. In the end, the Hidden Dragon Patriarch was still young and impetuous. He took the lead and took the jade slip.
He mustered up his courage, put on a posture of facing death calmly, and said the oath of surrender with a steady and powerful tone.
Patriarch Song He couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this.
He thought to himself, I'm only asking you to say the oath of surrender, not to go into battle to kill the enemy. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?
