"No matter how important the Ancestral Land is, we need people to be alive. Only when people are alive can we ensure the survival of the tribe."
The chief of the Eighth Tribe said with a firm voice.
The other chief elders all sighed.
"In fact, not only the Eighth Tribe, some other tribes should also prepare to retreat to the First Tribe."
"The First Tribe is the strongest among the ten tribes. Only by uniting all the tribes can we compete with the demons and outsiders. Otherwise, we will be defeated one by one."
The chief of the Eighth Tribe said again.
"Okay, I agree to retreat."
"Me too."
In the end, all the founding elders nodded and agreed to retreat.
In such a situation, only by retreating could they survive. Otherwise, they would die sooner or later.
"Prepare to retreat."
The order of the chief of the Eighth Tribe was soon spread throughout the tribe.
Although many people were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. They had to retreat.
The grand formation continued to be activated. All the people of the Eighth Tribe retreated to the First Tribe through another exit.
Lu Ming followed the army.
The First Tribe was the strongest among the ten tribes. It was also the tribe with the longest history. It was said that it was close to the core area of the descendants of the Ancient God Clan.
Lu Ming had come here to find experts to spar with.
Without a doubt, the First Tribe was also caught in the flames of war.
However, the people of the other tribes kept retreating to the First Tribe, which greatly increased the strength of the First Tribe and finally stabilized the situation.
But relatively speaking, the demons that besieged the other tribes also gathered. The First Tribe was also facing a big problem and had to activate the grand formation to resist.
As time went by, all the tribes retreated to the First Tribe. Needless to say, those tribes were all occupied by the demons and the Qin Tian Thirteen Sects.
"The people of the Qin Tian Thirteen Sects, the Icesoul Tribe, and the Flaming Tribe are almost all here."
Standing on the majestic city wall, Lu Ming looked outside and saw the Qin Tian Thirteen Sects, the Icesoul Tribe, and the Flaming Tribe.
However, he did not see any familiar faces.
For example, Ouyang Qingxiang, Yue Linglong, and Bing Qing.
Outside the First Tribe, the demons were roaring and attacking desperately.
On this day, Gu Hongshan found Lu Ming.
"Lu Ming, the chiefs are looking for you."
Gu Hongshan said.
"The various Patriarchs are looking for me."
Lu Ming was a little stunned.
The chiefs of the major tribes wanted to see him.
What do you want with him?
"I'm not sure either. The Patriarch told me to look for you."
Gu Hongshan was also confused.
"Let's go."
Lu Ming nodded and followed Gu Hongshan to a huge stone palace.
"Lu Ming, go in alone. You can't go in without my orders."
Gu Hongshan said.
"Alright."
Lu Ming nodded and walked into the main hall, puzzled.
In the main hall, there were two rows of seats, each occupied by some people.
Above, there was another person sitting on the main seat.
These people all looked rather old, but their auras were exceptionally powerful. They were as unfathomable as the abyss.
There were ten people in total, including the chief of the Eighth Tribe.
Patriarchs of the ten major tribes of the Ancient God Clan
Lu Ming understood that these were the chiefs of the top ten tribes of the Ancient God Clan.
"Lu Ming greets the chiefs. May I know why you're looking for me?"
Lu Ming brought his fists together and said to the ten chiefs.
Their eyes scanned Lu Ming as if they were trying to see through Lu Ming.
"Lu Ming, you're not a descendant of the Ascetic Cultivators, but an outsider."
Suddenly, the chief of the First Tribe spoke, which made Lu Ming's heart beat rapidly.
Exposed!
Lu Ming's first reaction was that his identity had been exposed.
What should he do?
Lu Ming thought quickly, but he did not say anything.
"Lu Ming, although you can fool others, you can't fool us. Your tricks show that you're from the outside world. You should be from the tribe guarding the World Gate."
The chief of the First Tribe spoke again. The other nine chiefs looked at Lu Ming with bright eyes.
"What do you mean by guarding the World Gate? Are they talking about the descendants of the Ancient God Mountain?"
"That must be the case. The bronze gate is the World Gate they're talking about. The descendants of the Ancient God Mountain are guarding that gate."
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Lu Ming's mind. He nodded and said, "Not bad."
"I knew you were from the guardian tribe. But it's been so many years. Is your tribe still doing well?"
Asked the First Tribe Chief.
Lu Ming shook his head. "Not good. My tribe is very weak in the outside world, and many of our inheritances have been lost. I don't even know many things about the descendants of the Ancient God Mountain."
Since they thought he was from the guardian tribe, then he might as well pretend to be from that tribe.
Furthermore, Lu Ming had interacted with that tribe before. If they didn't even know about the bronze gate, then they probably didn't know about the world and secrets behind it. Clearly, too much time had passed, and many of their inheritances had been lost.
"No wonder. But it's been so long. It's lucky that your tribe still exists."
The Ten Tribe Chiefs nodded, agreeing with Lu Ming's words.
Apart from that tribe, who else could condense the Heart of the Ancient God?
This was also the reason why they let Lu Ming stay here, and even taught Lu Ming the Ancient God Technique. After all, the guardian tribe outside was also a descendant of the Ancient God Mountain.
"Tribe Chiefs, I'm looking for Lu Ming today because of this matter."
Lu Ming asked again.
That was because he had a feeling that the gathering of the ten Clan Chiefs was not as simple as it seemed.
"No, we're looking for you because of another matter."
The First Tribe Chief paused for a moment, then said, "We need your help."
"My help?"
Lu Ming was stunned.
These Tribe Chiefs were all Divine Kings. Why would they need a True God's help?
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Right now, my tribe is facing the joint attack of the demons and outsiders. The situation is very unfavorable. If this continues, my tribe won't be able to hold on for long."
The First Tribe Chief said.
Lu Ming didn't say anything and listened quietly. He knew that the other party had more to say.
"Now, there's only one way to save my tribe and defeat the enemies, and that is to awaken the Ancestor's Spirit."
The First Tribe Chief said.
"Awaken the Ancestor's Spirit?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Yes, in the center of my tribe, there's an ancestral land. Legend has it that the Ancestor's Spirit of the Ancient God is sealed there. As long as the seal is broken, the Ancestor's Spirit will be able to come out."
"The souls of our ancestors have terrifying power. If we set up a formation to control them, it will be enough to repel the attacks of the demons and outsiders. It might even be possible to completely eliminate the threat of the demons in the Northern Wasteland."
The First Tribe Chief said.
