Chapter 760 307: Pioneer Order

The warship carrying the ashes of the fallen martial artists slowly landed outside the Heroic Spirit Temple amidst the sounds of witch cannons.

Apart from the Ancestral Temple Keeper and the young ones lined up outside, Huo Shan, the Alliance Tribe Leader, also brought some Execution Elders and Garrison Soldiers to welcome back the heroic spirits of the fallen outside the Heroic Spirit Temple.

Behind Huo Shan, besides Divine Treasure Martial Artists from Yongyi, there were also some Divine Treasure Martial Artists from the Dai Land.

The Divine Treasure Martial Artists from the Dai Land all came from several Inheritance Mountains and Grotto Heavens in the Dai Land.

When the Human Race Alliance army entered the Dai Land, it initially used Star Mountain in the Dai Land as the main camp.

Luyang, the Star Mountain Master, stood behind Huo Shan, having wanted to visit Yongyi for decades.

At that time, he never imagined he would come to Yongyi under such circumstances.

Besides Star Mountain Master Luyang, there were Jiang Yang and Yuezai, East Lords of the two Grotto Heavens, Jiang Shu and Yue Lei, along with the Mountain Masters of four other Inheritance Mountains.

These Inheritance Mountains from the Dai Land had all sent martial artists into the war against the Dai Land Ants.

The agreement between the Dai Tribe and Lord Yongshan from eight thousand years ago spanned eight millennia and was finally fulfilled by martial artists from both lands, who eradicated the Earth Ants and reclaimed lost territories of the Human Race.

Outside the main hall of the Heroic Spirit Temple, Shen Can was already waiting here.

On either side of the hall doors stood two rows of priests.

In addition, two Tier Four Witch Priests were standing near him.

These two Tier Four Witch Priests were Shen Can's disciples, Yan Wu and Zhong Jing.

The fallen war soldiers from different tribes in the Dai Land needed to be returned one by one to their respective tribes, and after being interred in their respective ancestral graves, their divine tablets would then be enshrined in the Heroic Spirit Temple.

Originally, the warship didn't need to pause here, but Shen Can arranged for the Ancestral Temple Keeper and young witches to experience the farewell ceremony for the fallen, resulting in today's scene.

He wanted everyone, the Ancestral Temple Keeper and the young ones, to participate and personally witness it.

The sound of the witch cannon roared, exploding in the heavens. As the three warships carrying the ashes of the fallen descended, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Large offering tables were placed in front of the Heroic Spirit Hall, covered with spirit fruits, beast meat, and other offerings.

As the incense burned, the priests stationed outside the Heroic Spirit Temple headed toward the three descending warships.

The young ones lined up in front of the Heroic Spirit Hall, with a group following the priests toward the warships.

After bowing in the direction of the warships, they stepped on the pedals descending from the warships and entered them one by one.

When this group of young ones emerged from the warship again, each held a stone urn in their arms, which contained the ashes of the fallen, and they slowly walked off the warship toward the main hall of the Heroic Spirit Temple.

Then, a second wave of young ones, under the guidance of the priests, headed toward the warship once more.

The young ones' expressions were tense, influenced by the scene before them.

Each stone urn had the name and birthplace of the fallen, as well as the imprint of the corresponding tribe.

As the young ones enshrined the ashes of the fallen into the Heroic Spirit Temple, some saw the familiar imprint of their own tribe and recognized the identity of the deceased.

Many young ones bowed their heads, suppressing their tears.

From dawn to dusk, the bonfire burned outside the Heroic Spirit Temple, and the ashes and divine tablets of over 379,600 fallen were finally enshrined in the main hall of the Heroic Spirit Temple.

The reason there were also divine tablets is that the fallen martial artists of several Inheritance Mountains and Grotto Heavens in the Dai Land had long since been buried back in their places of life.

Thus, only the divine tablets were enshrined in the Heroic Spirit Temple.

The bonfire blazed, priests chanted witchcraft, and the sound of horns in the night was incredibly desolate, sounding again and again.

"Sacrifice."

Alliance Tribe Leader Huo Shan, leading the alliance elders, garrison soldiers, and martial artists from the Dai Land's Inheritance Mountains and Grotto Heavens, walked outside the Heroic Spirit Temple. Under Shen Can's guidance, they paid homage to the many fallen inside.

The Heroic Spirit Temple was built on high ground, and under the night sky, the mountain winds howled, making the robes and cloaks flutter loudly.

There were many people behind Huo Shan. In the past, Divine Treasure Martial Artists from various tribes would not worship ordinary Tier Two and Tier Three martial artists.

Yet before this scene, everyone present was solemnly bowing respectfully toward the fallen in the Heroic Spirit Hall.

"In the thirty-seventh thousand seven hundred ninety-third year of the Mountain and Sea Calendar, our Human Race Tribe Alliance broke the Earth Ants and reclaimed lost lands. The fallen...the injured... Every tribe bravely fought the Alien Race. We will record the achievements in stone and forever store them in the Heroic Spirit Temple to encourage future generations."

Shen Can's voice rose, overpowering the sweeping mountain winds and roaring flames, clearly reaching the ears of every figure present.

"All who fought for our Human Race shall receive annual sacrifices from the Human Race Alliance, and their descendants shall be nurtured by us."

"Not just this battle, but also the previous pacification of Jingping Yongyi, slaying the Xiangliu, repelling the Huantou Race, and even throughout the eight thousand years of battles in Yongyi against Xiaoyang and the Huantou Race, and the thousands of years of resisting the Earth Ants in the Dai Land with many fallen martial artists must all be enshrined in the Heroic Spirit Temple with offerings from the Human Race."

"Our Human Race Alliance must engrave the achievements of the fallen, telling future generations that because the ancestors relentlessly resisted the oppression of the Alien Race, our Human Race can continue to thrive, its legacy unbroken."

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Masters and Lords of several Inheritance Mountains from the Dai Land behind Huo Shan swayed slightly.

The strength of Yongyi left them in awe. They never imagined the people of Yongyi would come to rescue the Dai Land.

At this moment, they were even more surprised that Shen Can, this Alliance Ancestral Temple Keeper, acknowledged the achievements and sacrifices of the many Inheritance Mountains and Grotto Heavens in the Dai Land's longstanding war against the Earth Ants.

"This is the tribal history of the Giant Peak Mountain Human Race's proliferation. Only by remembering our tribal history can we courageously move forward."
