Chapter 792: The Great Ceremony
Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh
When the first snow fell, a raging fire of a great ceremony was raised in Pu Ban City, reaching to the sky.
An altar was built with five different types of earth, which came from Midland and the four wastelands, having five different colors. Emperor Shun, who seemed to be aglow with health, held a scroll and started a beautiful chant with a bright and resonant voice. By singing the chant, he informed the ancestors’ souls of the humankind and all mysterious beings in the world that, this time, the humankind had attained a glorious victory, again.
Indeed, this victory was great enough to be counted as glorious.
In the war that happened in Pan Xi world, one million elite non-humankind warriors were wiped out entirely. And all of those non-humankind elites were Yu Clan nobles and Jia Clan warriors, instead of lower-class beings, such as dark-kind warriors and non-humankind slaves. A million non-humankind elites were annihilated, this number was tens of times bigger than the number of the total enemy casualty of Chi Ban Mountain War.
All resources of Pan Xi world were attained. The alliance of human clan and all large human clans had earned a rich harvest. By now, with the help of Pan Xi world people, a great number of human warriors had still been collecting all kinds of resources in Pan Xi world. All these resources were precious and valuable. With such so many extra resources, the power of each large human clan would certainly rise speedily.
Most importantly, before all this, the territory of the non-humankind had almost reached Chi Ban Mountain. This meant that they could start a massive attack on Chi Ban Mountain area anytime they wanted. However, after Pan Xi world war, the non-humankind lost a huge area of territory on the northern side of Chi Ban Mountain to the humankind. This new territory was accepted by the humankind, and a new, large-scale defensive line was ready to be constructed on the northern side of Chi Ban Mountain.
The bigger the strategic maneuvering space of the humankind was, the lesser could the non-humankind threaten Pu Ban City. In the future, even if another large-scale war happened between the humankind and non-humankind, the humankind would have more choices and a larger space to react. To the humankind, this was way more meaningful than attaining all resources of Pan Xi world. Not to mention the fact that, through the life-and-death game happened in Pan Xi world, the humankind also earned a thousand years of peace.
Although, every single human leader understood that this so-called agreement of a thousand years of peace could be destroyed anytime by the non-humankind with all kinds of excuses and reasons, in which case another great war would be started. However, more or less, the non-humankind valued their reputation. Despite the fact that this agreement couldn’t possibly maintain effective for a whole thousand years, it could bring the humankind thirty to fifty years of peace for sure.
Speaking of peace, here came the most important part of this great ceremony.
Thirty to fifty years of peace was more than enough for the humankind to largely improve their general power. Not to mention all those resources attained from Pan Xi world and the large area of territory on the northern side of Chi Ban Mountain, crucially, Ji Hao had actually brought back a large group of Jia Clan and Xiu Clan prisoners from Liang Zhu City. This was just like pulling a tooth out of the mouth of a tiger!
Yu Clan nobles were not so useful, but they knew many secrets about the non-humankind, and could allow the humankind to know more about the non-humankind. Before, in the eyes of human beings, non-humankind beings were like ghosts hiding in a dense mist. Human beings clearly knew about the existences of non-humankind beings, knew how powerful and terrifying they were, but never had a specific understanding of them.
With Di Yantuo and his family members, the humankind could now truly get to know the non-humankind, analyze them, and learn their advantages and weaknesses. Thus, human beings would be able to react to all kinds of challenges of the non-humankind with targeted plans.
