Chapter 49

After the birth of a unified tribe...

He could spread the seeds of civilization and guide them quickly onto the path of a technological civilization.

Instead of taking the long, winding path that Earth did.

Thinking of this.

Qin Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and summoned the system.

"System, simulate which of the four major tribes is most suitable for developing a technological civilization."

Above Blue Star.

The system's light flickered.

"Ding! Simulation and deduction function activated. Collecting data on the current tribes of Blue Star!"

"Ding! Simulation and deduction in progress!"

This calculation was relatively simple.

After rapid processing.

The system soon reached a conclusion.

"Ding! Based on thousands of simulations, the tribe most suitable for the development of a technological civilization is the Ji Tribe!"

After hearing the result provided by the system.

Qin Mu frowned.

He did not expect it to be neither the strongest Jiang Tribe nor the Si Tribe.

But rather the Ji Tribe, which was currently being attacked by the Jiang Tribe and was in a precarious situation.

"This tribe resides in the east; their exploration of consciousness, resilience, creativity, and imagination ranks first among the four major tribes."

Subsequently.

The system analyzed it carefully once more.

After listening, Qin Mu nodded thoughtfully.

It was a pity...

The combat effectiveness of this tribe was poor.

Under the offensive of the powerful Jiang Tribe, their territory was shrinking rapidly.

Blue Star.

Ten years later.

After a long war.

The Si Tribe annexed the Yao Tribe, and their strength was improved to an unprecedented level.

And the Jiang Tribe...

Was currently on a plain in the east, conducting the final war against the Ji Tribe.

"Leader, the people of the Jiang Tribe have sent word: if we do not surrender, they will break through the stockade in three days and slaughter our entire clan!"

A warrior with a bare upper body knelt before a woman and said respectfully.

PS: The book goes live tomorrow at noon; I ask for your support.

There will be another update later.

This woman...

Was named Ji.

She was also the leader of the Ji Tribe.

She was draped in animal skins and held a very slender stone spear in her hand.

Her whole body began to tremble.

Over these years.

Facing the powerful Jiang Tribe, they had been retreating steadily.

From initially dominating the east and holding a quarter of the world, to now having only the last stockade left!

"Never surrender!"

She gripped the stone spear tightly with her right hand.

Biting her lower lip, blood seeped out without her realizing it.

The pride in her bones did not allow her to surrender!

And behind her.

Thousands of warriors holding stone spears also raised their spears high, their eyes filled with anger.

They followed suit and shouted.

"Never surrender!"

"Never surrender!"

"Never surrender!"

This was their final stand as people of the Ji Tribe.

But...

Everyone understood that the gap in combat power between them and the Jiang Tribe was too great.

The current Jiang Tribe was at the height of its power.

The tribe's warriors were even claimed to number one hundred thousand.

And they, right now...

Had fewer than several thousand people.

Those who could fight were even fewer.

Ji turned around, looked at the people of the tribe, and her gaze gradually became firm.

"Now, the only ones who can save us are the gods!"

She held her stone spear and began ordering people to slaughter wild beasts and peel off their furs.

They moved the roasted beasts to the shrine in the temple.

And began a devout sacrifice.

"Respected and great god, your most devout and loyal believer, the Ji Tribe, is here to offer sacrifices to you with sincerity."

With disheveled hair, she knelt before the statue.

Reciting the worship and awe of herself and the Ji Tribe.

"Great god, our Ji Tribe has sacrificed to you every year; today we face the disaster of extinction, please, god, take action and save our tribe."

"Oh god, I beg you to take action..."

Ji knelt before the statue, kowtowing continuously.

Her demeanor was incredibly devout.

One, two, three...

Without realizing it.

She had already kowtowed hundreds of times.

Her scalp was broken from the kowtowing.

But she still did not stop.

Above the statue.

Qin Mu stepped through the void, observing the woman kneeling before him.

To be honest.

This statue was made very crudely.

And it did not look like him at all.

But...

This woman was very tenacious and persistent.

She kept kowtowing, wanting him to save their tribe.

"I pray to the god to save our tribe..."

"I pray to the god..."

Before the statue.

She continued.

Blood streamed down her forehead.

Yet she had no intention of stopping.

Qin Mu just watched her silently.

After she had kowtowed three thousand times without a break.

He sighed softly.

He waved his hand gently and wrote a line of text on the shrine in the language of the Jiang Tribe.

"Before noon tomorrow, climb the highest mountain peak in the east; there, you will find two treasures to save your tribe."

This line of text.

Was the final chance he gave the Ji Tribe.

At the same time.

It was also a test for the Ji Tribe.

And below him.

The anomaly on the shrine was soon discovered by Ji.

She widened her eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Over these years.

Although they sacrificed to the god every year, they had never seen the god, nor had they seen the god perform any miracles.

But this line of text appearing out of thin air...

If not a miracle, what was it?

"The god has manifested!"

"The god has manifested!"

"The god has manifested!"

For a moment.

The entire Ji Tribe fell into a frenzy of joy.

In their most desperate hour, they were actually able to witness a miracle performed by the god!

To them, this was a tremendous encouragement.

It meant...

The god also felt that their fate was not meant to end!

"Pass the order down: all the warriors of the tribe, come with me now to climb that mountain peak in the east!"

Soon.

Ji gave an order very decisively.

The Jiang Tribe still had three days before they could surround them.

Right now.

They still had enough time to climb the eastern peak and obtain the god's treasures.

If they wanted the tribe to continue, this was their only chance!

Immediately.

The Ji Tribe left a small number of people to guard the stockade.

The rest followed her, walking east the entire way.

They walked for who knows how long.

Finally, they saw a towering mountain peak.

This peak was very steep, rising into the clouds.

"The god has given us a revelation; we will definitely be able to conquer this mountain peak before us and obtain the treasures bestowed by the god!"

Ji shouted at the top of her lungs to encourage the warriors on this journey.

Subsequently.

The several hundred warriors who came on this trip threw down their stone spears and began climbing the mountain.

They had no tools.

They were all climbing with their bare hands.

Grabbing the steep rock walls, stepping on protruding parts, and climbing upward continuously.

Ji, as the tribe leader.

Took the lead and charged at the very front.

At the peak of the mountain.

Qin Mu looked down at the hundreds of people climbing below.

He revealed a look of amazement.

It had to be said.

This group of people, as mortals, displayed tenacious perseverance.

"The system's deduction was indeed correct; this tribe might really be suitable for a technological civilization."

Qin Mu took a deep breath.

Then, with a thought, he took out a book written in the language of the Ji Tribe.

And a large iron blade.

This was a very ordinary iron weapon.

But it was also the most advanced weapon on Blue Star at present.
