At this time, the villagers had already found their own rooms. However, there was still a large area of empty rooms that no one was living in.
Ren Jie, who was below, suddenly paused. The smile on his face became even brighter as he said to Elder Zhao beside him.
"Excuse me, there are more guests coming from afar."
At this time, they could also feel the ground trembling slightly as if a large number of people were coming from afar.
Elder Zhao's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the time when he arrived.
We're all family, so there's no need to be so polite. Why don't we go together? "
"It's my fault. Let's go together!" Ren Jie laughed and led them in another direction. At the same time, he arranged for his people to make preparations.
Tonight, they were preparing for a grand welcome ceremony. Partying together was the fastest way to close the distance and eliminate the estrangement.
A group of people quickly came to the edge and waited patiently for the guests.
On the other side, Gu Zheng had already met up with He Sheng in the air.
"We welcome you very much. I thought you would come later." Gu Zheng said jokingly. In fact, he was really afraid that He Sheng would not come. The more effort he put in, the more hope he had.
"It's best to make a decision early on such matters. However, the people of that tribe also came to me. Their Ancestor God has already reached the peak of the Gold Immortal Realm. I rejected them." He Sheng brought a piece of important news the moment he opened his mouth. Moreover, he spoke bluntly.
"But no matter what, you still came to me. That's the key!" Gu Zheng did not care. No one would believe that the other party did not take action. Moreover, he was the most powerful person now. The other two tribes were roped in by them.
"Although the other party is very strong, and some of my people told me to choose them, I still have a feeling in my heart. So, I still choose you. I hope you won't disappoint my tribe. I'll bet all my wealth on you." He Sheng said slowly, as if he didn't know how to hide anything, and laid out his words on the surface.
"Don't worry, you will find that your choice is not wrong." Gu Zheng said confidently.
"Let's go. I'll go with you. This way, I can rest for a while." Before Gu Zheng could say anything, He Sheng urged him.
"When the time comes, your tribe can put your statue over there." Gu Zheng said, pointing to the distance.
When Gu Zheng and He Sheng first discussed, it was only to let him and He Sheng hug each other for warmth. Then, they would find an opportunity to merge.
"Why bother? Since the end result is the same, I might as well be straightforward." He Sheng looked at Gu Zheng deeply. With a flick of his finger, a red trace of light streaked across the sky. When it approached Gu Zheng's statue, it instantly turned into a red mist and entered.
Gu Zheng had not thought of this point. He was somewhat confused. Although he had such thoughts, he had not mentioned it.
However, the other party seemed to have seen the future and directly walked to that step.
"In this region, only one victor is allowed. Since I've chosen to ally with you, it'll save us the trouble of suspecting each other." At this moment, Gu Zheng could feel the changes in the statue. Even if he disagreed, it was too late.
Besides, would he object to the people being sent up?
Of course not. Gu Zheng pointed at the statue. A yellow beam of light shot out from his hand. A pale yellow shadow, much like a miniature version of the statue, was drawn over by Gu Zheng.
"Since you trust me so much, I will not be stingy. I will always be able to transfer a tenth of my Joss Flame power to you at any time." Gu Zheng said solemnly as he sent the cluster of illusory figures into He Sheng's body.
This was not a small favor, because it was equivalent to giving him a tenth of it forever. As long as Gu Zheng did not take back this illusory figure, even from today onwards, Gu Zheng would not be able to touch that tenth.
And the more people there were in Xifeng Village, the more he would get.
Theoretically speaking, the incense power produced by the Ancient Battle Statues could be distributed infinitely. However, the more people there were, the smaller the amount each person would get. One must know that everything here required incense power. Of course, the more, the better.
But because He Sheng's village had been merged with Xifeng Village, he would become a wandering ancestor god again. Gu Zheng, of course, would have to spend a lot of money to buy horse bones. Not to mention, He Sheng's identity as a local was worth it.
Although Gu Zheng could take it back at any time, and He Sheng couldn't do anything about it, he was still a little touched. Now it seemed that he had suffered a loss, but he had done it for the sake of his tribe's survival. Secondly, he had thought highly of Gu Zheng. If it was really as he said, then he had profited greatly.
"Thank you, Lord Gu!" Of course, he would not call Gu Zheng an ancestor god. And with his identity, he could leave at any time and start a new life.
It was like a cooperative relationship. It was like a consecration in the human world.
Everyone went into their own houses one after another. After a short rest, everyone came out one after another. Men, women, old, and young, all walked out of their houses and came to the edge of the stream near the bottom.
At this time, in the open space here, bonfires had begun to burn slowly. Countless materials were piled up on the side. Even rare wine was given to everyone. Although it was not enough to drink to their heart's content, it would definitely make them happy. Normally, they would not be able to drink such things for several years.
These things could only be exchanged for with points, not distributed.
As for the ordinary statues, they could eat to their heart's content. Even rare fruits and the like were not in short supply.
More than 20,000 people lined up in this large area. Except for a few people who came out to maintain order, everyone came here to party together.
But although everyone was here, no one started to take the things next to them. Even the children who wanted to play were held together by their parents.
Because they were all waiting for one person, one person to become their new ancestor god.
Not long after, Gu Zheng walked up surrounded by a group of people. Their position was slightly raised, ensuring that everyone could see them clearly.
Seeing Ren Jie hinting for him to say a few words, he knew that Ren Jie wanted him to show his face and make the people below more loyal.
Gu Zheng did not decline. He directly floated in the air and looked at the black mass of people below. They were all slightly raising their heads and looking at him curiously. He did not know what kind of person this new ancestor god would be.
"I believe that most of you don't know me. It doesn't matter. In the future, you will know that I will protect you firmly. Because I am a person who covers my shortcomings. I hope you remember that you will not regret this day!"
As soon as Gu Zheng opened his mouth, he directly announced his declaration in a domineering manner. There was no need to be so gentle here. They knew the things here since they were young. There was no need for any great principles or nonsense. He only needed to tell them that he would protect them.
Everyone was silent. Just when Ren Jie felt a little embarrassed and seemed to want his ancestor god to say a few more words, a loud shout broke the silence.
"Lord Ancestor God!"
Following this, countless people also opened their mouths and shouted.
"Lord Ancestor God!"
"Lord Ancestor God!"
The sound shook the sky. Countless people's shouts almost spread to every corner of the island.
"Let's not talk too much. Whether you know me today or not, you will be a family tomorrow!" Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and a cup of wine appeared in his hand. He drank it down in one gulp.
Then, he casually threw the wine cup into the sky, causing it to explode into a ball of gorgeous fireworks. It turned into countless colorful light spots in the sky and slowly fell down.
It was exceptionally beautiful and instantly caused the atmosphere to reach a climax.
Countless people below also picked up the wine cups in front of them that were already filled and shouted.
"A family!"
Then, he put down the wine cup heavily. The fireworks had officially started when Gu Zheng drank that mouthful of wine.
Gu Zheng did not care about those people. He directly landed on the table that belonged to them and sat on the main seat.
"Lord Ancestor God, you are really hot-blooded. We are not!" Ren Jie flattered as soon as he came up.
Gu Zheng did not expect Ren Jie to be like this. However, looking at the joy that came from the bottom of Ren Jie's heart, he could somewhat understand his feelings. It was normal for him to be unable to control himself.
On the other side, He Sheng also said to Gu Zheng.
"Clan Leader Ren is right. It seems like you understand everyone's expectations! Although they don't have a choice, what they want is a stable life. "
"Haha, come, come. Let me introduce everyone. From now on, we are all a family." Gu Zheng also smiled.
At this moment, the people on the table were the absolute core of their group. They would live together in the future.
"This is …"
As Gu Zheng introduced them one by one and drank cup after cup of strong wine, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
.....
When Gu Zheng held a grand banquet, the people who were the most disturbed were the Demon Tribe beside them.
The aroma of all kinds of meat wafting over, as well as other tempting foods, all of them were stirring their nerves.
The Demon Tribe could eat more than the humans. However, the amount given to them was the same. What was enough for the humans was not enough for them. Generally, when they ate, they would only be 70% to 80% full. As long as they were not hungry, it would be fine.
If they wanted to live a better life, they would have to rely on the Ancestor God to exchange points for resources.
At this moment, it was supposed to be time for rest. However, the clamor of 20,000 people here was like a tsunami roaring in their ears. No matter how hard they tried, they could not stop it. Moreover, the fragrance of the food had attracted their gluttons, making them feel even more uncomfortable. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do.
Some of the Demon Tribe even stood by the stream and looked over with longing. Unfortunately, even if this stream was less than 100 feet wide, they would not dare to go over even if they were given the guts.
As for the Tiger King, he was gritting his teeth as he looked over. He had clearly seen the huge commotion here today.
Originally, he did not care about this inconspicuous little tribe at all. He could pinch them to death with just a finger.
However, they actually merged two tribes that were dozens of times bigger than him. This was really out of his expectations. In the blink of an eye, this ant was almost as tall as him.
Although his tribe had more people, they didn't have as many experts as they did.
Here, the main battle was the Celestial Immortals. After Gu Zheng merged his tribe, there were more than 30 Celestial Immortals. On the other hand, there were only 30 Celestial Immortals.
What made him even angrier was that other than the tribe that did not have any Ancestor God, the other tribes had rejected his request. This made him very angry.
Did these people not know about this mission? With their strength, how could they avoid it? They might as well work together. Such a big meal was enough for everyone to eat their fill. The points for this kind of special mission were universal.
He did not care about these points. More importantly, the hidden reward was what he cared about the most.
"Tomorrow, you will warn those people. If they do not consider it clearly, after the protection period, you will have to find them personally."
Looking at the laughter on the opposite side, he said fiercely to the darkness behind him.
"Yes!"
At the same time, in another part of the island, there were more people gathered at this time. The number of people was twice as many as them.
However, compared to the other side, there was everything. Most of the people here were still outdoors. Some people were even hurriedly building some simple and crude houses.
In a luxuriously decorated room, a tall and sturdy man sat on the main seat. He knew everything that was going on outside, but he didn't care at all. If those commoners weren't useful, he wouldn't even give them anything.
In front of him, there were two ordinary people kneeling down. They lowered their heads and reported the situation to him.
"Are you sure that the two tribes have completely merged with that small tribe?" After the burly man on the main seat listened, he said casually.
"Yes, the village pearl in the hands of the other party has completely merged with the statue. I saw it with my own eyes. I would never dare to deceive Ancestor God!" One of them said with a little fear.
"I know. You can go and receive your reward!" The veins on the burly man's hands bulged, but he still controlled his temper and said lightly to the people below.
"Yes, Ancestor God!"
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly responded and retreated.
After they left, a man and a woman walked in from outside.
"Those two tribes actually rejected my messengers, and now they're even siding with a tribe with only a few thousand people. What are they thinking? It's really unbelievable!" Even now, the burly man still couldn't believe this fact.
"Lord Sun, don't be angry. Perhaps that person used flowery words to win over all those people. Anyway, they won't be jumping around for long." At this point, they had no choice but to accept the two tribes and rely on the weaker Polio tribe. Moreover, they had joined the other party.
Although there was no difference between them and the Polio tribe, the people they relied on were different.
What kind of tribe was this? It was a large tribe with more than 20,000 people. More importantly, the Ancestor God who was leading them was at the peak of Jin Xian. That gave them the greatest sense of security.
If they wanted to escape like the Ancestor God, not only would they lose face, but they would also lose more things.
"Don't care about them. In the future, even if they cry and beg me, I won't accept them so easily! Hurry up and supervise your people to repair their houses. Don't create trouble for me all day long. Do you hear me? "Lord Sun stroked his chin that was full of stubbles and shouted at the two of them.
"Understood!"
The man and woman glanced at each other before agreeing.
Perhaps it was because of the stimulation from Gu Zheng's banquet, the originally slow pace of the demons instantly sped up.
The next day, Gu Zheng, who was resting at the top of the mountain, saw a large group of people rushing out as though they were about to go to war.
Facing Ren Jie, who was rushing over, Gu Zheng comforted him and told him not to worry. The protection period was not over yet, and the token in his hand still had the power to protect him. There was no need to worry.
It was still under protection. Do whatever you dare and don't care about anything else. Even if the Heavenly Emperor came, they would still die together.
"I know, Ancestor God. However, someone has suggested that we should set up a flag on the mountain peak. Now, I'm here to ask for your permission." After talking to Gu Zheng, Ren Jie's heart calmed down a lot, and he continued to ask the second question.
In the past, their tribe was small. If they wanted to set up a flag, they might as well not. But now, after a few rounds of integration, their current scale was not small even in the southern region. It was time to raise their own flag and announce themselves.
"Okay, when the time comes, you can just make an extended flagpole. I'll put it on the mountain peak." Gu Zheng naturally wouldn't object to this kind of thing that could unite people's hearts. Unfortunately, the content on the flag was already there, and he didn't need to redesign it.
In less than seven days, a tall flagpole was erected on the peak of the mountain. Those with good eyesight would be able to see this flagpole from anywhere on the island. It was several times thicker than usual, and a picture of a tall mountain peak was printed on the flag, revealing a sense of stability. This was the picture of Xifeng Village itself.
If one had to say who was the most unhappy, it would be the demon tribe next to them. The originally majestic flag, however, now looked so pitiful.
Gu Zheng was very satisfied with this. No matter what, their momentum must suppress the other party. This way, their people would be more confident.
Due to the huge supply of materials, everyone could use as much as they wanted. There were no restrictions at all. Moreover, from time to time, some small benefits would be given. Who asked Hai Ming to bring back three bracelets on the way? The other side was too polite, but Gu Zheng still didn't hesitate to accept.
In addition, Ren Jie and the others were strict in enforcing the law. They didn't take sides in some small matters. Everyone integrated very smoothly.
Gu Zheng lived on the mountain peak, trying his best to restore the Joss Flame power in his body. He Sheng also found a place on the mountain peak and also lived there.
Time passed little by little. Three years passed quickly. At this time, there were only a few days before the end of the protection period.
The ordinary people below were still the same. They didn't know the real truth of the matter. They only felt that there wasn't much difference from before.
Even if they felt that something was wrong, they just felt that it was a normal battle between the tribes.
At this time, a figure came in from outside and broke the silence.
The tribe over there invited Gu Zheng to a banquet in the south!
