After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 422 The Second Stargazer

Inside the main hall of Yongshan City, wine cups clinked and various medicinal delicacies, spiritual fruits, and spiritual honeys were continuously brought into the hall.

"Lord Yan, I salute you."

Chief Yaosen picked up the large basin.

Since the two early-stage sixth-tier members of the Yaosen Clan were killed, the Yaosen Clan has not had an easy time.

First, the territory of the tribe shrank significantly, and they also abandoned several mines that the tribe had been mining for a long time. These were all taken away by the neighboring Mogu tribe and Yue tribe.

Several races that previously had a good relationship with the Yaosen tribe suddenly changed their attitude overnight, implying that the Yaosen tribe should submit to them and offer up some resources.

The ancient city of Tushang was also greatly affected, with sixth-tier races coming directly to the door to lower the price of Yaosen's resources, acting as if Yaosen would not sell at all if they did not sell.

Compared to the various races coming and going in Yongshan City, Yaosen City has been deserted these days, with almost no living beings trading.

For the past six months, almost no deals have been made.

For the Holy Race, a sixth-tier race that cannot even generate profit has no reason to exist.

At this time, the human race came to the Yaosen race to do business and cultivate spiritual plants, which was completely different from other races that openly or secretly wanted to devour the Yaosen.

The human race even pulled the elephant-nosed bear race along with them.

From beginning to end, there was no deception or charity shown by Yaosen despite its severe setbacks; it was a win-win cooperation that benefited all three parties.

For the Yaosen tribe today, this is like a timely rain.

Chief Yao Sen, holding the wine basin, swallowed hard a few times, unsure how to speak. He finally grunted and said, "It's all in the wine!"

Yan Song did not refuse and drank from the wine basin as well.

Inside the main hall, a group of elephant-nosed bears dipped their large trunks into the wine basins and poured in a large amount of spiritual honey.

Golden bees of varying sizes also perched on the edge of the wine basin, their heads bobbing up and down.

The creatures of the Yaosen tribe, after drinking the wine, turned from green to red, and steam billowed out, as if they had been steamed.

In the following days, the two sides discussed how to cultivate spiritual plants and precious herbs, and when it would be best to collect honey during the flowering period.

This collaboration has brought the various tribes closer together, but it will take a long time for them to truly become friends.

However, for the Yaosen tribe, the human's help was a timely and much-needed boost.

Nowadays, everyone knows that the human race is backed by the Crown Prince of Zhangshui, and even the Crown Prince's stewards frequently visit the human cities.

Being able to cooperate with the human race is enough to deter many races that secretly harbor ill intentions towards the Yaosen race.

After the three parties reached an agreement, the Yaosen tribe quickly sent their members to select the tribe's unique spiritual plants and herbs.

The human race also sent spiritual plants and herbs from the Giant Mountain Range and various human territories under their command.

Of course, along with the flowers came the Alliance's pharmacists and wizards.

In just one month, the three parties finalized their plans to cultivate spiritual plants and herbs in the territories of the Yaosen, Xiangbi, and Human tribes, respectively.

The human race occupies the most territory, mainly including the human race in the Rift Valley Wasteland, the human race in Xunyang Mountain, and the Giant Mountain Range where the human alliance is located.

The first two places are both along the route from Juyue to Tushang, making travel convenient.

At this time, in the Juyue Mountains.

Night had fallen, and the stars were shining brightly.

Suddenly, several stars seemed to fall from the sky, growing larger as they descended.

Almost instantly, they fell from the starry sky into the mountains.

Starlight surged and churned like a vast ocean, and the phantom images of stars with rough, pitted surfaces emerged, moving autonomously along certain trajectories.

Such a strange phenomenon caused many busy figures nearby to subconsciously rub their eyes.

"My mother has come, and the stars have fallen again."

At this moment, in everyone's perception, the stars were enormous, and people standing before the slowly rotating stars were as insignificant as ants.

Such an unusual phenomenon is naturally due to the construction of the formation here.

Having received instructions from the temple, the Weaver Girl, along with the alliance's array masters, began constructing a grand array; this was the first one to be built.

Unexpectedly, after the first great formation was completed, it reflected the stars in the sky onto the giant mountain.

To other array masters, the phantom of the star appeared enormous, but to the Weaver Girl, it was different. She could sense that this phantom of the star was an auxiliary star in her understanding of the star array.

Secondary stars revolve around the primary star and are generally smaller than the primary star, but that is relative.

Once it landed on the ground, it was still a colossal creature.

The phenomenon lasted only a moment, and the reflected stars returned to starlight, merging into the mountains.

"Alright, the first formation has been successfully constructed."

After the strange phenomenon dissipated, the Weaver Girl summoned many array masters and craftsmen to make a public announcement.

Taking the first step also signifies that there are no problems with the deduction of the temple's formation.

Afterwards, the Weaver Girl arranged for everyone to rest.

Those gathered today are all high-level array masters from the alliance, participating in the construction of the first star array, and also serving as training.

By participating a few more times, you can go back and lead other array masters to start the construction of multiple star arrays at the same time.

After making arrangements for everyone, the Weaver Girl also prepared to return to the Alliance's main city.

As she traversed the mountains and returned to the main city along the edge of the mountain range, she inadvertently glanced at the sky.

Then, they stopped and looked towards the northeast.

Over the years, the Weaver Girl has been trying to understand the stars in the northwest direction.

Although it's just one direction, the number of stars in each direction is vast and boundless. The more she comprehends it, the more she feels the immensity of the starry sky.

At this moment, the Weaver Girl looked up towards the northeast and then looked down.

She sensed a fluctuation of stellar power falling from the starry sky and landing in the direction north of the Alliance's main city.

Then, the Weaver Girl changed direction and headed towards the mountains north of the Alliance's main city.

A mountain within the territory of the Blazing Flame Clan.

Houses stand in rows at the foot of the mountain, their lights already extinguished.

Kuisheng sat atop the mountain. At first, he observed the starry sky, but later his gaze gradually focused on the northeast direction.

And so, her eyes focused on the starry sky to the northeast, and she was somewhat lost in a serene state, her mind drawn to the starlight.

As he gazed at the sky, he suddenly spotted the brightest star among the countless twinkling stars.

He saw the star rotating, and he felt like a fish being pulled into the starry sky by its rotation.

In the cold starry sky, countless stars slowly rotate, each one indescribably large.

Especially the one in front of him, Kui Sheng felt that he couldn't see its whole shape, and only felt that he was flying in one direction.

After a long while, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be revolving around this star whose entire appearance was not clearly visible.

……

The Weaver Girl stopped abruptly, her eyes gazing intently at the boy atop the mountain.

She looked up towards the northeast, and although countless stars filled the northeast, she could not see any star trails.

But what is certain is that the boy on the mountaintop, like her, had a sudden enlightenment and entered the path of the stars.

Ever since the Blazing Flame Tribe began building the Star-Attracting Array, the craftsmen who initially helped build the array were gradually noticed as unusual by the wizards who were recording their cultivation.

Some craftsmen without cultivation talent actually experienced varying degrees of improvement in their spiritual sense after being bathed in the power of the stars for a long time.

Some of the craftsmen even became low-level wizards.

Upon arrival, Yan Zeng, now a level-five array master, was assigned to maintain the array after he became a cripple due to forcibly advancing to the fourth-tier Great Witch while saving his wife.

In the process of maintaining the star-guiding formation, he was also baptized by the power of the stars, gradually transforming from a useless person into a master of formations.

Given the extraordinary manifestations of the power of the stars, the Blazing Flame Clan could not possibly ignore them.

From that time on, the clan gathered together those with poor cultivation talent and began training them to become craftsmen and array masters. Whenever possible, they would assist the craftsmen and array masters, allowing them to receive more exposure to the power of the stars. After the alliance was formed, this training program was further expanded.

The Alliance's initial Dragon Gate Project was able to complete the construction of the grand formation more than 20 years ahead of schedule because the Alliance gathered a large number of its members for training.

During the construction of the Star-Attracting Array, about 30% to 40% of the craftsmen from all over the Alliance experienced varying degrees of improvement in their spiritual consciousness under the baptism of the power of the stars, thus becoming low-level wizards.

While individual first- and second-tier wizards are not particularly powerful, this signifies an increase in the lower limit of the alliance's cultivation path.

Subsequently, as she observed the trajectories of the stars, she suddenly had an epiphany, cultivated the power of the stars, rejected the five elements, and leaped to become a fifth-level martial artist.

Within the alliance, a 'stargazing course' was added for those without cultivation talent.

However, the 'stargazing courses' are all for teenagers.

Whether one can cultivate witchcraft or martial arts can be seen by the age of eleven or twelve.

Unfortunately, over the years, although batches of young people have been observing the stars, no one has yet emerged who, like the Weaver Girl, has entered the Dao through star-gazing.

Of course, this does not mean that 'stargazing courses' are useless.

At least, research suggests that people who start observing the stars and receiving the power of the stars from a young age have a higher potential for future cultivation than those who start receiving the power of the stars in their middle age or youth.

The vast majority have a chance to become third-tier wizards.

After years of stargazing and being tempered by the power of the stars, about half of the young people who lacked talent for cultivation were able to become wizards and then begin to switch careers and explore other skills.

About a quarter of them became talented array masters.

For the Alliance today, even second-tier wizards have become versatile in their training and Alliance missions, with expertise in formations, herbs, and more.

The torchbearers trained by the alliance in the past were not all high-level martial artists; these versatile individuals were the main candidates for torchbearers.

The changes needed for the human race's habitat outside the giant mountain cannot be achieved simply through the inheritance of martial arts or witchcraft.

These torchbearers from the Alliance bring basic skills in forging, medicine, planting, and animal husbandry; they teach people how to fish, not just give them fish.

It can be said that the Great Wilderness is too vast, and the human lands are too scattered and disorganized.

If they were all gathered together, the alliance could have already dispatched thousands or even tens of thousands of teams to pass on the torch.

If it weren't for the unusual power of the stars that she sensed upon returning from the Giant Mountain, the Weaver Girl would have almost forgotten about this matter.

The appearance of another person who can move the stars means that she is no longer an isolated case.

……

The Weaver Girl carefully examined the boy on the mountaintop; his small body looked very frail.

Unable to cultivate martial arts, he appears weak compared to his peers.

Yes, just like the temples of yesteryear.

Today, the Blazing Flame Tribe has many different ethnic groups, and it is impossible to tell which generation they belong to just by looking at their age.

Not long after, Kuisheng on the mountaintop suddenly swayed and fell straight backward.

Before he could fall, the Weaver Girl had already lifted him up from behind.

In that instant, the Weaver Girl saw an incomplete, blurry star map within its body.

From this star chart, she could vaguely sense at least four main stars, but she couldn't sense the exact number.

The star map disappeared into the boy's body the moment it entered him.

At this moment, the boy fell into a deep sleep as if he had fainted, his mind completely exhausted in this sudden enlightenment.

The Weaver Girl carried the boy down the mountain and soon found his home.

The courtyard was very large, housing over a hundred people. Among the dozen or so figures who came out first, someone immediately recognized the Weaver Girl.

"Lady Weaver Girl."

“Ah Sheng.”

A woman saw the boy, exclaimed in surprise, and rushed over.

"The child is fine, just a little tired from cultivating."

The Weaver Girl handed the person over to the woman and looked at the leader of her tribe.

Nowadays, there are simply too many people in the Blazing Flame Clan. In addition, some of them have missions outside and will take their wives with them. Over time, they settle down outside and start having more offspring.

"Huochen has met the Weaver Girl."

A one-armed martial artist stepped out from the crowd. He was at the early stage of the fourth rank, with gray hair and an obviously aged appearance, likely due to serious injuries.

"This is my great-great-grandson, Kuisheng."

“This child was not suited for cultivation from birth. He doesn’t follow the clan’s arrangements and sometimes goes to look at the stars.”

As the Weaver Girl listened to Huo Chen's words, she did some mental calculations. Yan, Chen, Ming, and Kui were the sixth generation after the Zhi Yan clan was established.

"Please come in, Lady Weaver."

"My four sons and seventeen grandchildren are all away from home. Some of them are quite capable and have gone out to explore trade routes."

The Weaver Girl stayed at Huo Chen's house until Kui Sheng woke up early the next morning.

"Great-grandmother."

Kui Sheng called out to the Weaver Girl directly.

Weaver Girl is also of the Yan generation, and since they are from the same clan, it's not wrong for her to call her Great-Grandma.

As the sun rose, the Weaver Girl led Kui Sheng by the hand and walked along the riverbank, softly asking him questions.

"Let me ask you something. The clan arranged for you to observe the stars. Some other young men like you have become wizards after observing for a few years. Why didn't you become one of them?"

"Isn't it only for stargazing?"

Kui raised his face and looked at the Weaver Girl, replying, "I don't think there's anything wrong with stargazing. Since I don't have any talent for cultivation, watching the stars for a few more days might make me stronger when I become a wizard in the future."

Hearing Kuiyang's response, the Weaver Girl looked thoughtful.

Cultivating the Path of Stars will cause one to reject the Five Elements; she is a firsthand witness to this.

However, after being baptized by the stars, when humans become low-level wizards, the wizardry they practice is one of the five elements.

At that moment, the Weaver Girl suddenly wondered if others were too eager to become wizards?
So much so that before his talent for starry sky was even revealed, he had already cultivated the Five Elements and become a wizard.

The Five Elements and the stars are incompatible, and these youths couldn't distinguish between them.

This situation has not been noticed over the years.

Subsequently, the Weaver Girl began to pay attention to this matter, searched throughout the entire alliance, and reported Kui Sheng's situation to the giant beast avatar.

Above a region separated by the endless mountains and rivers of the Juyue Mountains, Shen Can, sitting cross-legged on a dragon boat, slowly opened his eyes.

The appearance of Kui Sheng is of great significance, as it means that the Weaver Girl is no longer an isolated case.

This further demonstrates that the human race possesses a powerful talent for sudden enlightenment.

As for whether Kui Sheng will rise to the fifth level in just a few decades, like the Weaver Girl, it's a question of whether such a situation defies the heavens.

In Shen Can's opinion, this was nothing at all.

Back then, those golden crows, each one was the pinnacle of cultivation for countless races from the moment they were born.
In terms of population size, how many Golden Crows are there?
The Giant Mountain Human Race already numbers in the billions.

It's not like a seventh-tier being suddenly appears out of nowhere. What does the talent of a fifth-tier being amount to?

……

After waking up, Shen Can did not close his eyes to rest, because they were about to reach the ruins.

A day later, a land of ruins appeared before the eyes of many living beings.

The territory of the Thundercloud Clan, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, looked as if it had been plowed by a giant plow.

Mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and blood could be seen accumulating in the ravines everywhere.

"We've arrived at the ruins, everyone get down."
