Chapter 2851: Divine Authority
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Three days later, at the grand ceremony of Shugubu Tribe.Lugu became the new Great Chief of the Shugubu Tribe.
And under the watchful eyes of the masses, Mo Hua stood high above, in the capacity of a Shaman, upholding the Divine Lord’s will, entrusted by the Ancestor Shubu, and personally handed the White Bone Staff, symbolizing the power of the Shugubu Tribe, to Lugu.
The strong and robust Lugu knelt on one knee before Mo Hua, receiving the staff with utmost reverence.
From that moment, Lugu leaped from a main general to become the Great Chief of the entire Third Grade Tribe, the Shugubu Tribe, holding supreme actual power.
While Mo Hua became the spiritual symbol of the Shugubu Tribe.
Lugu wielded military power.
Mo Hua, on the other hand, represented divine authority.
Divine authority, reigning above all powers.
It was during the time of war; famine spread outside, so the ceremony was not particularly grand, but there were tens of thousands of Shugubu tribe people present.
These Barbarian Cultivators personally witnessed the power transition of the Shugubu Tribe.
Witnessed the birth of the new Great Chief of the Shugubu Tribe.
Also witnessed, for the first time, the birth and spread of the "Divine Authority" represented by Mo Hua on the land of the Great Wilderness.
In a moment, everyone worshipped, shouting:
"Long live the Shugubu Tribe!"
"Long live the Great Chief!"
"Holy is the Shaman!"
"Immortal is the Divine Lord!"
The myriad voices gathered, like streams converging into the sea, surging like a tsunami, shaking the mountains and rivers, echoing in the earth and sky for a long time.
Thus, Mo Hua, through strategic maneuvers, achieved the initial unification of the first major tribe under divine authority on the land of the Great Wilderness.
...
Afterwards, after a period of time and digesting the strength of the Shugubu Tribe, the influence of Mo Hua’s divine authority underwent further qualitative transformation.
His subordinate Barbarian Cultivators had rapidly increased, reaching as many as eight hundred thousand.
Among them, only one was at the Late Golden Core Stage, which was once the Shugu General, now the Great Chief of the Shugubu Tribe, Lugu.
Three were at the Golden Core Middle Stage, including Chi Feng and two other elders of the Shugubu.
Although Dan Zhu was only at the Initial Golden Core, after so much baptism by war, his strength could rival an average Golden Core Middle Stage.
Besides, there were about seventy others at the Initial Golden Core stage.
The Bone Heavy Armor soldiers numbered six hundred.
There were seven thousand elite Barbarian Soldiers at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
Fifteen hundred thousand ordinary Barbarian Soldiers.
The remaining over six hundred thousand were engaged in production, including some who were elderly, weak, or disabled and thus unable to fight, and the majority were Barbarian Slaves.
At its peak, the Shugubu Tribe had a population of about over two million.
Now, facing famine disasters, a batch died; internal tribal wars claimed another batch; and the decisive battle with the Wujiu Tribe claimed more lives.
Coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters, the turbulent times led many tribes to break apart and wander in disarray.
Others, like residual bones, discontent with Lugu, defected outside, seceding as independent generals and Barbarian Generals.
Therefore, by the time Lugu became Great Chief, the numbers dwindled significantly.
But it was the year of famine, all tribes were losing people, large and small tribes were facing life-and-death crises, and the population of the entire Great Wilderness was declining.
In such an environment of decline, the Shugubu Tribe with over eight hundred thousand people could still be regarded as an extremely powerful Third Grade major tribal force.
If the strategy was right, it could play a huge role, and to some extent, change the current situation in the Great Wilderness.
Mo Hua was also planning to find an opportunity, using his "divine authority," to command the Shugubu Tribe to open up territory and continuously expand and grow.
But before he could really start to open up territory, another tricky problem presented itself:
Food shortage.
More people mean more power.
But more people also mean more consumption.
With over eight hundred thousand people, just feeding them was an extremely severe problem.
While cultivators could stave off hunger for a long time, they couldn’t persist in perpetual hunger, as it would still lead to a depletion of Blood Qi and even cause turmoil.
This problem was something Mo Hua had to figure out on his own.
Lugu and his people might be strong at fighting, but their solution to the "food supply" issue was almost non-existent.
Their way of thinking would only lead them to kill and rob.
In extreme cases, they might even resort to eating Barbarian Slaves.
The issue of food was the primary problem at present, and even for a long time in the future.
Mo Hua originally intended to find a place to settle down and figure out how to "farm."
Although the idea of "farming" in the Great Wilderness was fraught with difficulties, it was perhaps the only way for more cultivators of the Great Wilderness to survive the Uncle’s Famine Disaster Formation.
If they couldn’t awaken the vitality of the earth to make the soil fertile and cultivate crops on the land of the Great Wilderness,
and simultaneously, use farming to nourish the earth’s vitality and counteract the ongoing famine.
Then, eventually, the Barbarian Cultivators here were doomed to perish.
But this grand concept was not something achievable overnight; it involved a massive project that couldn’t solve the immediate crisis.
The urgent need was for a batch of supplies that could quickly address the current problem.
Otherwise, let alone external wars, the newly unified Shugubu Tribe may not last long before it falls apart.
...
After some contemplation, Mo Hua decided to inventory the Shugubu Tribe’s storehouse to see if there were any supplies to use in an emergency.
The storehouse of the Shugubu Tribe was strictly guarded and tightly controlled by a group of elders.
The power to open the storehouse belonged to the new Great Chief Lugu.
Mo Hua requested it from Lugu, and Lugu agreed.
Mo Hua, now the "Shaman" of the Shugubu Tribe, symbolizes the Divine Lord and represents the ancestors’ wishes, bearing his brother’s reputation and ambition.
