I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

The decree for the Tribe Alliance’s first explicit expansion will be placed in the Alliance Heroic Spirit Temple for tribute.

This newly constructed Alliance Heroic Spirit Temple is meant to honor those who died fighting for the Human Race.

All who die in battle for the Human Race’s external conquests will have a divine tablet made for them and placed in the Heroic Spirit Temple, where they will receive tribute from all divisions of the Human Race.

At the same time, select wizards from each division will enter the Heroic Spirit Temple to serve as witch priests.

This was one of the covenants agreed upon during the first alliance meeting, though it hasn’t been given much attention over the years.

In recent years, those who died while pacifying Jingping Yongyi, killing Xiangliu, and battling the Huantou Race were habitually buried in their respective tribes.

From now on, attention must be paid to this matter, and, since the first alliance meeting, hold a great sacrifice for those who died for Jingping Yongyi and in battles against alien races.

Clearly announce to all divisions of Yongyi that anyone who expands the territory for the Human Race or protects the tribe’s reproduction is qualified to enter the Heroic Spirit Temple for tribute.

Take Lord Giant Wilderness for example; this old fellow has many issues, but if someday he dies fighting Earth Ant in Dai Land.

Then, Shen Can can overlook his past deeds.

His divine tablet will enter the Alliance Heroic Spirit Temple and receive tribute from the Alliance Human Race.

If he even dares to die fighting a Tier Five Earth Ant, the Heroic Spirit Temple will have no issue giving him a small shrine, and a priest will be specially arranged to tend to it.

Then, the Heroic Spirit Temple will memorialize him, spreading his name among the Human Race.

At this moment, Lord Giant Wilderness suddenly felt a chill, glancing around without sensing anything amiss.

The first decree of expansion in defense has been completed, but corresponding meticulous matters remain to be discussed and arranged.

Everyone must continue to stay at the Alliance base for a while.

In view of the shock brought to everyone by the Divine Treasure conference, everyone is advised to temporarily return to their respective palaces to rest, digest the news, and then reorganize specific affairs.

After settling the Lords of each division, Huo Shan also returned to the Clan Hall.

In the immense Clan Hall, a figure appeared somewhat small, standing with hands behind his back as he examined the beast pattern on the massive pillars.

When Huo Shan entered the hall, he paused upon seeing this figure.

"Brother Atang!"

Huo Chang, looking at the more robust figure of Huo Shan, who carried an invisible powerful presence, couldn’t help teasing, "Alliance Leader, growing more imposing by the day."

Huo Shan halted outside the hall, glanced around, and found only Huo Chang inside; there was no one else.

He leaped into the hall, rushing toward Huo Chang, and gave him a bear hug.

"Brother Atang, I’m so tired!"

Crushed by Huo Shan’s bear hug, Huo Chang was stifled by the overwhelming force but instinctively chose to pat Huo Shan’s back.

"Brother Atang, now that you’ve returned, will you still go to Dai Land?"

Huo Shan embraced Huo Chang, feeling like he’d found a harbor.

"Enough, let me go first; do you not know your own level?"

Huo Shan realized and quickly released Huo Chang.

"Brother Atang, I have not seen you in a long time; I got a bit carried away."

Huo Chang moved a bit; if Huo Shan had exerted more force, he might have prematurely been sent off.

"Wondering if the Alliance Leader needs an attendant?"

Huo Shan immediately responded, "Yes, very much so."

Hearing Huo Shan’s words, Huo Chang was satisfied, glad Huo Shan didn’t suggest he take back clan leadership.

Huo Chang was aware of Huo Shan’s efforts in clan affairs, noting his significant progress in management.

Yet Blazing Flame isn’t just a Bo Division anymore, facing more challenges now.

Thus, he returned.

"Brother Atang, now that you’re back, what about the affairs in Dai Land?"

"There are millions of war soldiers and the Star Mountain Camp in Dai Land; a mere Celestial Vein Martial Artist like me makes little difference."

"By the way, Brother Atang, look here, this is the expansion and protectorate covenant established by the majority of Yongyi’s martial artists."

Huo Shan took out the covenant marked by all Divine Treasures Martial Artist and spread it over the table.

Huo Chang looked at the marks on it, his eyes filled with emotion.

He glanced at Huo Shan and sighed.

There can hardly be no regrets.

He has ambitions but lacks the level to support it; Ashan, although prosperous in cultivation, was nevertheless coerced.

Judging by Ashan’s previous eagerness to grasp him, Huo Shan hasn’t enjoyed his leadership much.

Let’s hope in tens of years, the third generation in the clan may rise.

"How are Yan Jiang and Yan Song, the young ones?"

"That boy Ajiang is doing well, already promoted to mid-stage Divine Treasure; Asong is also nearing mid-stage Divine Treasure, and our clan’s Divine Treasure Martial Artists are nearly reaching eight hundred."

"Then, with my remaining years, let’s give the young more chances to venture out."

"Come now, you’ll have to escort this old man around, Alliance Leader."

"Alright, Brother Atang."

Just as more than a hundred years ago, when Blazing Flame was still in the mountains, Huo Shan responded to Huo Chang like this.

...

Upon Huo Chang’s return, Shen Can was naturally aware.

With the Alliance stationed in Dai Land, Huo Chang naturally could return to the clan, conveniently assisting Huo Shan.

Shen Can wasn’t planning to attend the upcoming alliance discussions any further, thus intended to return to the Ancestral Temple.

While passing through the clan land’s wilderness, he heard the sound of dragon roars.
