I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

As for the witch runes on the Profound Bird Divine Statue, he would comprehend whatever he saw.

Because it was acquired passively, the deduction consumed more of his lifespan.

In less than a year, he expended too much lifespan in deductions, to the point that Shen Can now felt a sense of fatigue in his spirit.

This exhaustion originated from his divine soul, and couldn’t be resolved just by sleeping.

"It has already been tested. In areas without mountain obstruction, the communication range reaches ten thousand miles, whereas in the mountains, it varies from two thousand to ten thousand miles."

"In places where there are densely packed Witch Rune Spirit Bans, the range will be even shorter."

"Additionally, currently there is no way to conduct multi-person communication; it can only be done one-to-one directionally."

"Moreover, if put into a Witch Pouch, the communication will fail."

The effect was much worse than Shen Can had anticipated, but the fact it could be made at all was already a victory.

Going from nothing to something holds great significance for Blazing Flame.

At this moment, Huo Chong took out two additional one-foot-tall Witch Tower models from the Witch Pouch.

"Master, these are upgraded models of the Communication Tower."

Huo Chong pointed at one of the Witch Towers and said, "The wizards have increased the number of communication witch runes and enlarged them. After testing the real-sized Witch Tower, the message transmission range has reached forty thousand miles.

Theoretically, as long as this Witch Tower is enlarged, communication over millions, even tens of millions of miles is feasible.

However, increasing the number of communication witch runes is not simply doubling, but rather..."

Huo Chong thought for a moment, then said, "Take this Communication Witch Artifact, if it contains one hundred runes, the communication range is ten thousand miles. To achieve thirty thousand miles, it would need ten thousand runes engraved inside.

To accommodate so many runes, the Communication Witch Artifact would have to be very large."

After speaking, Huo Chong pointed to another Witch Tower model.

Outside this Witch Tower was a groove, just large enough to embed a bulky communication brick.

"Master, as the tribe expands externally, the commanders and garrison soldiers in charge of clan soldiers must be able to contact more than one person. Hence, they will need lots of Communication Talismans.

Therefore, within the tribe, they have crafted this special Witch Tower to place Communication Talismans, which can hold up to a hundred of them.

Simply inscribe names on the corresponding talismans, and as soon as there’s any fluctuation on a Communication Talisman, the corresponding spot on the Witch Tower will light up, allowing people to see at a glance who is communicating."

"Additionally, within our tribe, we have also replicated Bronze War Chariots, enabling the Communication Witch Tower to be installed on chariots or even ships."

"Very good, proceed with experiments and crafting as quickly as possible."

Shen Can did not criticize the skills of his disciple and tribesmen, it’s usable for now. After going from nothing to something, upgrading will be simpler.

The reason for urging Huo Chong to expedite crafting is that the people brought by the Old Profound Turtle have already reached the Luo Region, and after passing through the Yu Region, they can return north to Ji Land.

The Old Profound Turtle started from the sandy lands, traveled all the way south and then north, and now it has been three years; in about another half a year, they should be back.

...

Half a year later.

The Old Profound Turtle traveled north along the Guimu River, traversing mountains and ranges, moving through the sky.

On the turtle’s back, the gathered various lords and elders amounted to seven hundred and nine people.

When they entered the Giant Mountain from Ji Land, they saw continuous rolling mountain ranges, enveloped in clouds and mist between peaks.

Under the night sky, beams of starlight, descending from the high altitudes like pillars of light, pierced through the darkness.

This drew the attention of all present, as the Human Race had yet to truly live freely on the earth, and their understanding of the sky was still limited to the sun’s whereabouts.

After the Old Profound Turtle passed over the mountains, he saw at the northern end of the ranges, a cluster of palaces atop the Giant Mountain, radiant under the starlight and moonshine.
