Chapter 1082 - 322: Ghost Cloud Cliff (Part 2)

Born under the overwhelming will of the Ancestor.

The eighteen tribes, unified through force, never truly eradicated hatred and conflict from the start.

During the unification process, the bloodshed and debts of hatred were never truly erased.

However, fortunately, the newly born Ghost Race experienced a period of rapid development.

The vast lands west of the Southern Border City of No Return provided the Ghost Race with a huge fantasy space for early-stage development.

The fast-paced development and rapid expansion temporarily covered up many contradictions.

The huge benefits brought by rapid expansion also temporarily put aside many hatreds and grievances.

New lands, new hills, new forests, new territories, new expansion...

This positive and exuberant process led the Ghost Race to gradually enter a frenzied development.

Hatred and blood, during this period, were temporarily forgotten.

But...

When all the development, after a period of rapid excitement, inevitably enters a period of fatigue.

Although the Southern Border is vast.

No matter how vast an area is, it will eventually be fully developed.

No matter how big a cake is, it will eventually be divided and eaten.

No matter how high the ceiling is, there will eventually be a time to reach the top.

Before the first millennium of the Ghost Race’s establishment arrived, the Ghost Race experienced a huge internal turmoil.

After thoroughly dividing and developing the vast western Southern Border, the eighteen tribes went through hundreds of years of maintenance, hundreds of years of internal development and construction...

And also inevitably influenced by the law of the ebb and flow, some tribes thrived, some tribes declined, some tribes had wise leaders, and some tribes encountered incompetent ones.

There were natural disasters, human misfortunes, and luck...

When the cake was divided, when the eighteen tribes turned their eyes toward each other, they suddenly found, to their surprise, that a certain neighbor seemed very weak, appearing to be a delectable prey...

In the eighth hundred years of the Ghost Race’s establishment, an internal turmoil began with a tribe called "Feather Bird Tribe."

It was once one of the eighteen tribes of the Ghost Race!

Perhaps it coveted a patch of forest in a neighboring territory, eyed a production that made it drool.

Or perhaps it discovered the weakness of a neighboring tribe, thinking it found the opportunity.

Or perhaps, at that time, the Feather Bird Tribe happened to be at its peak, during the Ghost Race’s initial development, it prospered very well thanks to luck, occupying the best forests, obtaining the best productions, and even giving birth to the wisest and brightest leaders...

Anyway, in that era, the Feather Bird Tribe was the strongest among the eighteen, unrivaled!

Even its strength surpassed the Black Wood Tribe.

Ambition grew.

In a few years, the Feather Bird Tribe defeated five tribes among the eighteen, and even temporarily breached the Holy Land of one of them, nearly wiping it out.

In the end, they arrogantly demanded the other ten plus tribes to submit to them, offering tributes annually.

They also required the other tribes among the eighteen to surrender the power of worship—the power to communicate and worship the Ancestor Saint from then on was to be exclusively enjoyed by the Feather Bird Tribe.

The Yama of the eighteen tribes was to be appointed by the Feather Bird Tribe, then reported to the Ancestor Saint through worship and prayer.

If the Ancestor Saint of the Ghost Race is their god,

Then the Feather Bird Tribe aspired to be the first person under the true Divine Spirit, even its spokesperson.

But they forgot that their long-standing prosperity made them forget: the rule established by the Saint, where each Yama of the eighteen tribes worshipped the Saint, and all eighteen honored the Ancestor.

They wished to annex the eighteen tribes and merge them into a single Feather Bird Tribe.

They even arrogantly wanted all eighteen tribes to be silenced, so from then on, the Ancestor could only listen to the Feather Bird Tribe’s worship and prayers.

This matter did not comply with the rules originally set by the Ancestor Saint.

Thus, on a certain day...

A heavenly fire descended from the sky, landing in the Southern Border.

Three hundred hills within the Feather Bird Tribe’s territory were burned by the heavenly fire overnight!

The fire burned for a full eighty days, consuming hundreds of hills, scorching thousands of miles!

The Feather Bird Tribe’s elite soldiers, eighty thousand armored soldiers, were directly burned into metal fluid!!

Three thousand cultivators were turned into flying ash!

The Feather Bird Tribe fell from its height!

Their fate, much like the former Forest Tribe, was that other tribes soon joined forces to attack, flattening their Holy Land and erasing them from the river of history.

Among the most sinful, eight hundred leaders and senior members of the Feather Bird Tribe were thrown into a certain cliff.

A heavy hammer descended from the sky, smashing their bodies, grinding their bones and flesh, and before shattering their Divine Souls, it extracted a trace of remaining consciousness, forever imprisoning it on the cliff, letting this trace of consciousness cry for ten thousand years in the mountain winds until it exhausted its strength and dissipated!

This was the punishment delivered by the Ancestor Saint!

From then on, a rule was established among the Ghost Race, whenever a tribe caused turmoil and disrespected the Ancestor’s rules, other tribes would rise up against it, exterminating the tribe before resting!

And the prime culprits of heavy crimes, following the precedent of the eight hundred criminals of the Feather Bird Tribe, would be thrown into that cliff, their flesh shattered, their bones crushed, their Divine Souls extracted, crying in the mountain winds for ten thousand years!

Countless years passed, and in the history of the Ghost Race, numerous turmoils and wars erupted again.
