When the first snow fell, Pu Ban City was once again set ablaze with a sky-high flame of worship.
On an altar built from five layers of earth, Emperor Shun's face was glowing, holding a spell and chanting loudly, telling the world and the ancestor souls of the humankind that this time, the humankind had once again won a glorious victory.
Indeed, it was a glorious victory.
In the war in Pan Xi world, a million elite non-humankind warriors were wiped out, and those who died were all elites from high-grade clans like Yu Clan and Jia Clan, without any low-grade clans like dark-kind and non-humankind. A million elite non-humankind warriors were wiped out, this was even better than tens of Chi Ban Mountain wars.
With the resources of a whole world in their hands, all large human clans and the alliance of human clans gained immeasurably. Large groups of human warriors had been collecting all kinds of resources from Pan Xi world with the help of Pan Xi world people.
These resources were all precious treasures. With such a great amount of resources, the powers of all large human clans would definitely improve speedily.
Most importantly, the territory of the non-humankind was already approaching Chi Ban Mountain area. Therefore, they could launch a large-scale attack to Chi Ban Mountain area anytime and anywhere they wanted. However, after this war, the non-humankind lost a large piece of territory in the north of Chi Ban Mountain area, which was taken over by the humankind. Meanwhile, a new large-scale defensive line was being built in the north of Chi Ban Mountain area.
The strategic space of the humankind grew larger and larger, and the threat posed by the non-humankind to Pu Ban City was further weakened. In the future, even if another large-scale war broke out between the humankind and the non-humankind, the humankind would have more ways to deal with it.
To the humankind, this was even more significant than all the resources in Pan Xi world.
Not to mention the fact that the game in Pan Xi world had won the humankind a thousand years of peace.
Every human leader understood that this so-called thousand-year peace agreement could be broken at any time, and the non-humankind could start a new war anytime with all kinds of excuses and reasons.
However, the non-humankind was more or less shameless. The possibility of this peace agreement lasting for a thousand years was almost zero, but it could still trade for thirty to fifty years of absolute peace for the humankind.
Therefore, the highlight of this sky-offering ceremony had come.
Thirty to fifty years of peace was more than enough for the current humankind to largely improve their overall power. Not to mention the natural resources of Pan Xi world and the vast territory in the north of Chi Ban Mountain area, the most important thing was that Ji Hao had actually pulled a tooth out of the tiger's mouth in Liang Zhu City, and brought back the core members of Di Family and a large group of Jia Clan and Xiu Clan prisoners!
Yu Clan nobles were not that useful, but they knew a lot of secrets about the non-humankind. They could help the humankind better understand the non-humankind.
Before, to the humankind, the non-humankind were like ghosts hiding in the dense black mist. Even though human beings knew about their existence and knew how powerful and terrifying they were, they didn't know exactly what the non-humankind was.
With people like Di Yantuo, the humankind could truly understand the non-humankind, analyze them, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and deal with all kinds of challenges aimed at them.
Those Jia Clan's warriors were even more useful. They had their own special inherited fighting skills, special body-strengthening methods, and great individual powers. They could become the best whetstones to temper new human warriors, making them stronger. Without life-threatening situations, they could gain as much fighting experience as possible against powerful non-humankind enemies.
Yu Clan nobles provided the humankind with valuable strategic information.
On the other hand, Xiu Clan warriors could improve the overall strength of human warriors, allowing young human warriors to accumulate rich experiences of fighting against non-humankind warriors before they stepped onto battlefields, which would give them more chances to survive on battlefields.
However, no matter whether it was Yu Clan or Jia Clan people who were taken as slaves by Ji Hao, none of them were as valuable as those Xiu Clan masters.
Magic formation building, medicine making, metal forging, alloy melting, weapon smelting, armor smelting, puppet making, city building, all kinds of large-scale war machines …
Led by Gulo, these Xiu Clan master craftsmen had inexhaustible knowledge in their heads. This knowledge was the crystallization of the wisdom accumulated by generations of Xiu Clan ancestors with incalculable efforts, time, resources, and countless experiments.
All this was civilization, civilization was power, and power could be transformed into a terrifying power of war and slaughter.
The humankind was as intelligent as Xiu Clan people. In some aspects, the humankind was even smarter than Xiu Clan people. However, the history of the humankind was way too short, and the civilization of the humankind couldn't even be compared with that of Xiu Clan people.
However, with the help of these Xiu Clan masters, even though they were all Ji Hao's slaves, based on the close relationship between Ji Hao and the Magi Palace, and the personal relationship between Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming, these Xiu Clan masters could totally be seen as public properties of the Magi Palace. They would only be kept in Ji Hao's Yao Mountain territory.
The civilization of the humankind and the manufacturing level of the humankind in all aspects would welcome a period of rapid development. Sharper weapons, sturdier armors, more exquisite magic formations, more effective medicines, more nimble and powerful battle puppets, sturdier and thicker city walls …
All these could improve the fighting potential of the humankind by hundreds, even thousands of times, and allow the humankind to deal with the non-humankind more easily.
One could even say that the adventure Ji Hao took in Liang Zhu City and what he did in Black Shark Castle directly put the humankind on a level starting line with the non-humankind. As long as the humankind was willing to invest and didn't make any mistakes, the strong civilization of the non-humankind would no longer be a threat to the humankind.
Emperor Shun stood on the altar, telling all these glorious achievements to all divine Gods and ancestor souls in the world, and praised Ji Hao. He even saw Ji Hao as the most dazzling new star of the humankind.
In the conferring ceremony after the offering ceremony, Ji Hao received the greatest reward.
Yao Mountain territory was expanded by ten times directly. The large lake in the east of Yao Mountain territory belonged to Ji Hao, and the fertile grassland and rich forests in the east and south of Yao Mountain territory were put under Ji Hao's rule.
Apart from this, Emperor Shun gave Ji Hao nine bronze axes and spears, a set of flags, and eight dragon-skin battle drums, which gave him the right of 'conquering'.
This meant that Ji Hao was now a law enforcer recognized by the alliance of human clans. Any human clans around his territory, as long as Ji Hao believed that they were guilty, he could send out a great army to suppress them. His suppression would be just, and the clans attacked by him would be punished severely by the entire alliance of human clans.
This was an extremely glorious and scary power. At present, no more than ten human clans had the legal right of 'conquering' granted by the human emperor, including top-grade clans like You Xiong Family, Huaxu Family, and Lie Mountain Family.
Ji Hao quietly stood in the group of human leaders, with envious gazes fixed on him from all directions.
