Chapter 595: Chapter 545: Life Simulation – The Alliance of Three Clans
At the age of eighty: This marked the eightieth year since Pei Xuanjing arrived in this world. As the heroic figure who revolutionized the fate of the human race and led them towards brilliance, he received the adoration of countless individuals.
During this year, someone in the Human Alliance suggested holding a banquet to celebrate Pei Xuanjing’s eightieth birthday. They planned a grand celebration not only to honor Pei Xuanjing but also to declare to all the major races that the human race’s very first king, the King of Dawn, had ascended the throne.
Although Pei Xuanjing was not fond of such commotion, he completely understood that this was the good intention of the Human Alliance. Accepting their goodwill and agreeing to participate, he aimed to show other races the humans’ newfound confidence and power, contrasting their prior state of oppression.
As a power that dominated one corner of the wilderness, the Human Alliance had considerable influence among many races. When word spread that their King of Dawn was celebrating his eightieth birthday, many fellow races came to congratulate him, not wanting to offend the mighty Human Alliance.
Among them was a mysterious guest from the bustling and thriving center of the wilderness where many of the world’s strongest forces resided.
The Qilin Clan, one of the top ten clans in the wilderness, sent a Fifth Order being to the peripheral parts of the wilderness, a place often regarded by many as a backwater region.
The emissary sent by the Qilin Clan might not be of the Sixth Level, but the formidable bloodline of the Qilin Clan, one of the supreme races, enabled even a Fifth Order being to match the strength of many Sixth Level ones. Of course, this did not take account of Pei Xuanjing.
At first, the Fifth Order pure-blood Qilin greeted Pei Xuanjing with pride, considering himself from a higher bloodline and thus stronger. But as he witnessed the unfathomable depth of Pei Xuanjing’s strength, he changed his attitude and became much more humble.
The Qilin Clan’s representative had originally come to persuade the Human Alliance to join their soon-to-be-established alliance. Given that the Human Alliance, now led by two Sixth Level beings, was no longer the weakest among all the races, they were certainly worth courting and had the qualifications to join the upper echelons of power.
However, Pei Xuanjing’s displayed power far exceeded their expectations. Even though he was from the supposedly weaker human race, his strength surpassed many other tribal chiefs. This caused the pure-blood Qilin to fervently desire to recruit him, unwilling to let such a powerful being side with their rivals.
When this invitation was extended, Pei Xuanjing did not immediately respond, deciding to bide his time and assess the situation.
Several days later, Pei Xuanjing agreed to the Qilin Clan’s proposal and joined the Qilin-led alliance. According to their pact, the Qilin Clan would protect the Human Alliance and supply them with resources to enhance their strength. In return, if the Qilin Clan ever went to war, the Human Alliance would have to fight alongside them.
Pei Xuanjing approved this agreement.
He was aware that for the human race to continue advancing, it was not enough to act alone. The current peace in the wilderness was precarious, akin to the brief calm before a storm. While small-scale tribal conflicts might not cause much commotion, the rapid expansion of the now rising Human Alliance would inevitably draw the attention and hostility of stronger tribes, which Pei Xuanjing wanted to avoid.
So, he was looking for an opportunity, a perfect chance to rise above when chaos breaks loose in the wilderness.
When other members of the human tribes asked, Pei Xuanjing merely responded mysteriously: The wilderness is about to be thrown into chaos!
The Qilin Clan was a race almost unmatched in the wilderness, and their sudden move to form an alliance with many other races suggested larger schemes at play. It was a sign of many unforeseen things to come.
Even with limited information, Pei Xuanjing could guess a lot.
These top races of the wilderness held formidable power that allowed them to strategically plan. A decision like this surely signaled a tumultuous clash on the horizon.
Perhaps this clash was the opportune moment Pei Xuanjing had been waiting for.
At the age of eighty-five: As Pei Xuanjing initially predicted, chaos began to descend upon the wilderness.
In the subsequent years, the top tribes in the wilderness started making their moves. The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan all formed alliances, soaring to become some of the most powerful forces in the wilderness.
The Dragon Clan spearheaded an alliance of scaled-beast races, with numerous water tribes as their subsidiaries, dominating all the waters in the wilderness, and wherever there was water, there was influence from the Dragon Clan Alliance.
The Phoenix Clan led an alliance of avian races, ruling a massive territory, all birds under the sky respected the Phoenix as emperor.
The Qilin Clan’s alliance absorbed many different races that lived on the land. Surprisingly, the Human Alliance quietly ascended from the edge of the wilderness and joined the Qilin Clan’s alliance, becoming one of their forces.
In addition to these three major alliances, there were smaller coalitions like the White Tiger Clan and the Golden Lion Clan among others.
As these alliances continued to form, a previously harmonious wilderness started showing signs of disruption. Although an earth-shattering war hadn’t begun, friction and conflicts increased, with frequent skirmishes between various alliances, resulting in powerful beings falling in battle.
Meanwhile, rather than exploiting the situation, Pei Xuanjing exercised exceptional restraint. Leveraging his vast influence, he repressed any desires within the Human Alliance to take advantage of the instability, and quietly analyzed the unfolding situation instead, awaiting the next change.
He was lucid in his understanding that, should the current situation continue, a fierce war would sooner or later engulf the entire wilderness, altering its landscape and leading to the rise and fall of many races on the battlefield of blood and fire.
And indeed, what piqued Pei Xuanjing’s curiosity was, why would these tribes, who were already at the apex of the wilderness’s hierarchy, want to form alliances? What were their objectives and what were they trying to seize?
