Chapter 773 312: The Alliance's Foundation, Thrilled at the Prospect of War!

This also includes the clan leaders of established Bo Divisions like Giant Wilderness and Xia Shan, who were at the late stage of the Divine Treasure.

Among the mid-stage Divine Treasure martial artists, Blazing Flame alone accounted for seven hundred and seventy-nine people.

The phenomenon of unreasonable elevation among the clan members that appeared in the Blazing Flame Bo Division back then has also begun to spread within the alliance.

Of course, all thanks to the gifts of the Earth Ant Race.

Compared to the elevation of Divine Treasure martial artists, the number of Tier Four Great Wizards has also significantly increased, reaching six hundred and thirty-seven people.

But almost all these people are in the Blazing Flame Bo Division; in the past ten years, other tribes in the alliance have only added one extra Tier Four Great Witch.

...

"Lord Giant Sand, I heard that your Giant Sand Bo Division struck it big?"

"Not really, it's all thanks to the Ancestral Temple Keeper and the alliance's blessing."

Standing behind Huo Shan, Lord Giant Sand hurriedly waved his hand; he is now the most spirited among the numerous lords (besides the Alliance Leader).

This made those following behind, such as Lords Xia Shan and Qianze, couldn't help but glance over.

With power comes respect; after the Giant Sand Bo Division ascended to the Peak of Divine Treasure, it stood behind Alliance Leader Huo Shan, though previously, they walked together.

We agreed to cultivate together, yet you soared first.

Why does the old guy have such good fortune, breaking through just like that!

Being the backbone of the alliance, these people had done a lot of work, accumulating a lot of merit, and naturally used plenty of various resources, yet still didn't break through.

Lord Giant Sand seemed aware of the gazes from behind but didn't mind; his current goal is to achieve Tier Five.

He knows he can't compete with the Alliance Leader, but once the Alliance Leader ascends, he can at least be second, right?

He has patience and can wait.

Moreover, to advance to Tier Five, ultimately, it still depends on the Ancestral Temple Keeper.

If he doesn't show some prowess, how can he ascend?

As for relying on himself, Lord Giant Sand thought about it and felt he couldn't solely depend on his capabilities.

Tier Five is entirely unfamiliar territory requiring a guide.

Among the alliance, there are only two Tier Fives on the surface: one is the Ancestral Temple Keeper, and the other is the Punishment Hall Master, but the latter is never seen, always stealthy.

The last appearance was when the Earth Ant Ancestral Land was annihilated; now, it's been ten years without sighting him.

The Ancestral Temple Keeper, at least, is known to be in the Heroic Spirit Temple.

"Without the alliance, there wouldn't be the Giant Sand today; if the alliance needs anything, the whole Giant Sand clan will surely go all out."

Lord Giant Sand's words were firm and resonant; he held onto his big support firmly.

Shen Can nodded, his gaze sweeping over the others present.

Although he knew the general situation of each division from the jade scrolls recorded by the alliance, he was not clear about what exactly the alliance was doing in various places.

This matter could be arranged by Huo Shan to have it recorded and sent directly to him.

But Shen Can still felt it necessary to meet the pillars of the alliance.

Always unseen wouldn't work; he needed to hear them speak in person.

Under the Divine Tablet in the main hall of the Heroic Spirit Temple, the seats were already arranged, and after Shen Can took his seat, the others sat on either side below.

"I called you here firstly because it's been a long time since I've seen everyone, and secondly, I also want to know what the alliance has been doing recently."

Huo Shan sat in the first seat on the right, followed by the empty seat of the Punishment Hall Master, with the others seated accordingly.

"The Desert Patrol Department didn't come?"

As Shen Can inquired, Huo Shan spoke up, "The Desert Patrol Envoy who went to scout the Wood Ginger Race transmitted back information, indicating that the Wood Ginger Race's means of controlling the Human Race are bizarre, and they are also sacrificing to the Profound Bird, so the Director of the Desert Patrol Department, Li Wanyang, personally went over to support."

When the Desert Patrol Department was established, many people were assigned to various parts of the Giant Mountain Range for investigation.

Over the past ten years, reports have been returned continuously, bringing back preliminary information about the areas on both sides of the Giant Mountain Range to the alliance.

The greatest achievement among them was exploring Cloud River Valley and finding scattered Human Race tribes in the vast desolate areas of the valley.

Additionally, they found Xuankong Marsh, more than three hundred thousand miles east of Dai Land, which has become a barren area.

In a place supposedly inhabited by the Human Race and another race called the Zeling Race, there were now no signs of living beings.

"Moreover, the Desert Patrol Envoy is still looking for scattered Human Race tribes over in Cloud River Valley."

Following this, the heads of the various halls began discussing the matters under their respective jurisdictions.

For example, Yan Cheng, the Agriculture Hall Master, a Tier Four Great Witch, led the promotion of farmlands across Yong and Dai lands and is now leading research on farmland planning in Cloud River Valley.

This dignified Great Witch, seemingly due to his occupation, had a rosy face, appearing slightly glossy at a glance.

"Currently, the Agriculture Hall has already built thirty Changping Granaries in Dai Land and Yongyi to store the grains submitted by various divisions, with plans to expand by thirty more subsequently."

"Each Changping Granary reserves eighty million stone of grains such as rice and millet."

"Next, our Agriculture Hall plans to start promoting the cultivation of Spirit Rice and intends to establish Spirit Rice Changping Granaries, along with planning grain construction in Cloud River Valley."

With the regions at peace, various divisions have increased land reclamation efforts, and with the alliance's promotion of raising small livestock, a scale has now begun to form.

Although the Giant Mountain Range lacks Source Power, it poses no problem for ordinary grain growth.

Barring disasters, nearly every division can expect a bumper harvest.

These grains serve as the most basic sustenance and still provide satiety for Tier One and Tier Two martial artists.

For the Tier Four martial artists present, they seemed insignificant, but in the event of a great calamity, these grains would be crucial for survival.

Without ordinary Humans as a foundation, how could more martial artists emerge?

With Witchcraft Spirit Ban as protection, there can never be too much grain storage.

After discovering the dilemma in Cloud River Valley, the alliance allocated a batch of grains from the Changping Granary to be sent there.

One needs the energy from a full stomach to make it to the wrestling mat.

Blazing Flame leads the alliance, not out of selfishness, but genuinely for the development of the Human Race.

...

After reporting the alliance's achievements over the past ten years, the focus finally returned to current events.

Huo Shan announced, "The alliance's next plan is to take action against the Wood Ginger Race."

"Has the alliance already decided?"

As Shen Can asked, his Divine Sense observed the faces of the dozen or so people present, seeing expressions of excitement at the mention of battle.

There was no hesitation, only a thirst for action.

"Yes, many martial artists within the alliance have this thought."

Lord Xia Shan is now the Beast Hall Master, though nominally, with Vice Hall Master Huo Mu handling the actual work.

Lord Xia Shan cultivated the Wood Element Technique, which aligns with the Wood Dao of the Wood Ginger Race.

This point already had a living example in the Giant Sand Bo Division.

Because of the demise of the Earth Ant, which aligned with the Earth Attribute, after the great battle, not only did Lord Giant Sand ascend to the Peak of Divine Treasure, but the division also suddenly gained twenty-one Divine Treasures.

Lord Xia Shan saw his and his division's future in the Giant Sand Tribe.

Do it!

Do the Wood Ginger Race!

Moreover, according to transmitted information, the Wood Ginger Race's treatment of the Human Race was more ruthless than the Earth Ant's, completely altering Human customs.

They made Humans forget their ancestors, while they, the Wood Ginger Race, became the human ancestors.

As for resource snatching, this was rescuing their kin!

"Many martial artists within the alliance want to take action."

Since many wished to attack the Wood Ginger Race, Huo Shan naturally conducted a preliminary survey of martial artists within the alliance.

The situation with the Earth Ant Race left everyone with a taste for benefits.

Countless years of internal strife didn't yield much, but the Earth Ant Race had everyone reveling in the spoils.

Not acting seemed unjustifiable.

Conquering the Wood Ginger Race was an approved strategy years ago, to sever the Profound Bird's wings in the Giant Mountain Range.

Pushing everyone for progress contrasted with the excitement for battle.

This indicated a shift from internal strife to confronting external threats, and for many, fighting for the Human Race alone felt too elusive.

But with a hint of personal gain, fame and benefits made it compelling enough for frantic action.

And besides, without external expansion, how could resources for constructing the Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array be obtained?

Fight, they must.

At this point, Shen Can stood and said, "You haven't forgotten what happened back in the land of the Holy Envoy Race, right."

"Back then, I mentioned the Profound Bird hides in the Giant Mountain Range, planning to lead you to seal its nest."

"Now, the alliance has been established for ten years, and during these years, it repelled the Huantou Race, annihilated the Earth Ants, and rescued the Humans in Cloud River Valley.

Now, with billions of people and tens of millions of war soldiers under allegiance, it is time to begin this endeavor."
