Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Faced with Tang's regret, Ju simply smiled and said something that greatly surprised Tang.

"As a leader of the people, even if you are wrong, you should not readily admit your mistakes to others."

Even if you go down the wrong path to the very end, it's better than turning back halfway and wasting all your previous energy and efforts.

"After all, the world is so big, and no one can prove what is right."

"Although we have experienced war, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

"With competition and pressure, we will become more united and work harder in production and training."

"Everyone is going to die eventually. Whether we die early or late, it's a good thing if it makes us realize the pain of war and fight for it."

Tang was surprised that Ju was so open-minded about her mistake.

However, although what Ju said made sense and successfully changed Tang's sense of self-blame, Tang was still uneasy and thought that Ju might just be testing him.

Unlike Ju, Tang is ultimately not open-minded enough, and his capacity for tolerance is somewhat lacking.

"But……"

"There are no buts. If you feel regret and self-blame, then cultivate a better leader so that he can lead the tribe to a brighter future and spread the will of the Nest God across the land."

Ju smiled and said:
“I still remember everything my father and grandfather taught me. It’s a pity that my sons are all useless. If you can cultivate a good leader from my grandson, let him succeed you. If you can’t, then choose from your own descendants.”

"After enduring so many days of hardship, I am probably going to die today. Don't be sad or upset. You have done a great job these days and have proven to be a qualified leader."

He took the ivory sword, which had been born of wisdom, from his side and handed it to Tang.

Tang took the sword with both hands in surprise. He hadn't seen Ju's sword for a long time. How could it be so peculiar today? The quality of the sword looked much better than before, with many beautiful patterns on it, like a pretty pebble.
Then he felt a vibrant thumping in his palm, which greatly excited him, and he looked up at Ju.

"Don't be surprised. This is a gift from my Nest God, a gift unique to our Eastern Wilderness tribe. The Great Mountain tribe doesn't have this. This shows that we are the ones who have been blessed by the Nest God."

Ju's words immediately soothed Tang's surprise.

It turns out it was a gift from the Nest God; no wonder it was so miraculous.

"This will be the Fang God Sword that represents the orthodox lineage of our Nest God. You must always carry it with you and use it to cleanse and nurture it through battle, blood, and sweat."

"Tang, let me give you one last piece of advice: at any time, as a leader, you can only reflect, but you can never regret, understand?"

Tang nodded slightly, savoring the words. When she looked up at Ju again, she noticed that Ju's skin had instantly lost its vitality, and her eyelids had closed heavily.

he died.

On a peaceful night, it quietly withered away.

A shooting star streaked across the night sky, and the world fell silent.

……

With the death of Ju, the two tribes ceased hostilities, and the dog people entered a period of development that lasted for a century.

Through the crucible of war, they developed various new technologies. The first was animal husbandry, which increased the variety of meat products by domesticating herbivores such as horses, cattle, and sheep, thus accelerating the pace of land reclamation.

Secondly, there was the updating of planting techniques. Due to the population boom, they abandoned the slash-and-burn land reclamation techniques and adopted the fixed-field ridge rotation method.

Thirdly, there was the iteration of weapon technology. They generally mastered the ability to hunt giant creatures up to 20 meters tall. They could find many useful, hard bones from the skeletons of these giant creatures, which could be sharpened into sharp bone knives, bone swords, and bone axes, making it easy to cut down giant trees.

Fourth, with better tools, their living conditions have improved, and they can build better and more comfortable houses. With some rough drying and insect-proofing methods, a wooden house can last for seven or eight years without any problem.

Fifthly, the development of writing systems led to the establishment of temple priests in various tribes, who possessed the most comprehensive writing system and knowledge transmission, playing a crucial role in the development of the tribes.

Sixth is the development of extraordinary abilities. Combining their observations of the world, they concluded that the world is composed of four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire, and mastered the basic development abilities corresponding to these elements. After several generations of reproduction, specialized bloodline inheritance has emerged.

That is, some people are born with the ability to breathe fire, control water, and control wind.

These abilities are generally not very strong, but they have already shown some advantages when applied to hunting.

With the application of various weapons, they gradually developed the earliest extraordinary martial arts techniques.

Among them, Sun Xin, the third generation of Tang, was born twice the size of an ordinary baby. By adulthood, he had a terrifying height of 1.8 meters, much taller than the average of 1.6 meters. He possessed the immense strength to lift a cauldron with his bare hands and could kill a creature that was nearly five or six meters tall with a single punch. He was hailed as the strongest warrior of the new generation.

In addition, he created the first and most complete fire element cultivation method. At the age of 23, he mastered the technique and his whole body was wrapped in flames. He could easily kill a large creature more than ten meters tall with one punch.

His ability to achieve such a creative breakthrough is due to both the accumulation of previous generations and his personal talent.

But the most important thing is that Fang God Sword.

Xin inherited the Tooth God Sword when he was 18 years old. He always carried it with him, and it gave him moments of enlightenment, allowing him to comprehend many profound truths.

Without the Tooth God Sword, they would probably have had to accumulate experience for several hundred more years before they could create a relatively complete cultivation method.

After Xin's fire element cultivation method was created, other geniuses emerged in the Eastern Wilderness tribe. Drawing on Xin's methods, they successively developed other types of cultivation methods.

Earth, water, wind, and fire each perfect themselves.

Of course, the cultivation method created by Xin is still the best and most complete.

Others simply copied the same thing.

On this day, Xin, a 30-year-old man in his prime, attracted the powerful founders of various cultivation methods in the tribe.

These people are Luo, the founder of the Earth Element Cultivation Method; Fu, the founder of the Wind Element Cultivation Method; and Xi, the founder of the Water Element Cultivation Method.

"Gentlemen, I have summoned you here today for no other reason than that my skills have improved to a new level, and my strength has greatly increased. I can now kill a twenty-meter-tall beast with my bare hands. I wish to fulfill our ancestor's last wish, to command all the dog-people tribes, to become the chief of all tribes, and to once again spread the name of the Nest God among all dog-people. What do you all think?"

These words undoubtedly shocked the group quite a bit.

Xin's talent is so extraordinary, and he has made great progress. He can actually kill a 20-meter-tall behemoth with his bare hands?

They were not surprised that he wanted to become the chief of the tribe.

This was the prevailing opinion among the majority of the Eastern Wilderness tribes. They had long considered themselves the legitimate rulers, but without control from the Great Mountain tribes, the earliest sacred site of the dog-people still felt somewhat illegitimate. (End of Chapter)
