In the prehistoric world, it was already midnight. Except for the yin-like dead creatures and other evil and disgusting things, most of the living beings had fallen into a deep sleep. The Youyan clan, who had been noisy for most of the night, also fell into silence in the darkness.
However, under the obstruction of the formation, it was still bright in the tribe's forbidden cave.
On the cave wall, the magic lamp swayed with light, illuminating the cave. In the middle of the cave, there were several stone couches scattered around, and several figures on them were chatting enthusiastically.
After taking a closer look, he discovered that the people on the stone couch were none other than Yan, Yu, the old patriarch and Shan. At this time, the aura coming from the mountain was no longer the same as before.
Obviously, he had just taken advantage of the great fortune of the tribe and based on the accumulation of these years, he had successfully made a breakthrough. From then on, he transformed into an immortal, transcended reincarnation, and entered the path of immortality.
At this time, Shan had just finished talking about his experiences over the past few decades, and said with some emotion: "To be honest, it is not easy to travel among various tribes alone with a heavy burden on your back.
At the beginning, I flinched and complained, but luckily I persisted. Although it was inevitable to experience various hardships and dangers, it also tempered the body and mind and gained a lot.
Now that his merits are complete, he has not only lived up to the trust of his elder brother and the tribe, but has finally entered the path of immortality. Now think about it...haha! "At the end of the sentence, Shan smiled with emotion and shook his head.
"Shan, you have indeed done well over the years, and you have made great contributions to the tribe. Now you have entered the fairyland. What are your plans next?" Yan looked at Shan with a smile, nodded affirmatively, and finally asked .
After hearing Yan's words, Shan's face straightened up, and then after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and replied: "For the time being, I don't have too many ideas.
But in general, you definitely need to take some time off first. Although I have gained a lot over the years, it has also been really hard. Now that I am back, I just want to relax and have a rest. "
"You must rest. But you have just made a breakthrough now. I think it is better to retreat for a while to sort out the gains over the years and consolidate your cultivation." On the side, after hearing Shan's words, Yu reminded him with a smile. .
"Yes! I understand." Shan Wenyan smiled, nodded, and replied softly.
"Shan, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to." The old patriarch suddenly said.
"Old patriarch, what's the matter? Tell me." Shan's face straightened, he turned to look at the old patriarch and asked.
"Shan, you are still the clan leader of my Yan clan. You have been away for decades, and now you are back, but you have to go out to meet the clan members and deal with the tribal affairs first."
"Old clan leader, you are reminding me. I will go back to the tribe early tomorrow morning. I will wait until I meet the clan members and deal with the tribe's affairs before I rest and retreat." Shan Congsong nodded in response.
"There is one more thing you have to consider." Yan said after the old patriarch.
"Brother, tell me." Shan was slightly startled when he heard this, then looked at Yan with a smile and said straightly.
Yan slightly put away the smile on his face, looked at Shan, and said seriously: "Shan, you have transcended the mortal world and entered the fairyland. I have the Yan family's rule of living apart from the immortal world, but I cannot break it. You have to consider the new clan leader. It’s time to choose the candidate and future dojo.”
Hearing Yan's words, the old patriarch and Yu also put away the smiles on their faces and looked at Shan together, waiting for his answer. The reason for being so cautious is entirely because Shan has always been very enthusiastic about power in his early years.
Sure enough, as soon as Yan finished speaking, Shan's brows wrinkled slightly, and a trace of hesitation and haze flashed in his eyes, but in just a moment, his eyes became clear again.
He looked up at Yan and the old patriarch with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "It seems that my tempering over the years is not enough, and I am still habitually affected by the inner demons of my early years."
Yan took a deep look at Shan and said with a faint smile: "You can understand that there was a demon in your heart in the early years, which means that your hard work over the past few decades has not been in vain. However, the Yan family's rules of separation of humans and gods must not be broken."
Shan took a deep breath, raised his head and looked into Yan's eyes, and assured in a serious manner: "Brother, don't worry. I understand the importance and will hand over the tribal affairs as soon as possible."
Yan Wenyan nodded, without saying anything more, and turned to ask: "Do you have any ideas in mind about the next candidate for the clan leader?"
Hearing this, Shan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have been away from the tribe for thirty-four years. I don't know much about the changes and conditions of the tribe over the years. I don't have any ideas for the time being."
"Brother, what do you think? Should we call Mom and the others over and discuss it together?" At the end of the sentence, Shan looked up at Yan and the three of them and asked.
This time, Yan did not wait for the old patriarch and Yu to speak. As soon as Shan finished speaking, he directly said: "There is no need to inform them. Even the old patriarch, me, and Yu are not involved in this matter.
On the one hand, we rarely participate in tribal affairs and don’t know much about the conditions of the tribesmen. On the other hand, since humans and gods are separated, let’s take this opportunity to be more thorough.
I think that in the future, tribal matters, unless they involve strange gods and gods, or the survival of the tribe and clan, everything else, including the selection of the clan leader, will be decided by the tribesmen themselves. "
At this point, Yan paused for a moment, thought for a while and said: "In addition, in the future, the candidates for the clan leaders do not necessarily have to come from the ancestral land. The tribes that are divided will all be members of the Yan clan, so they can naturally become tribes." long.
You have traveled to so many places over the years, and you basically know the situation of the tribes in various places. If there is no suitable leader in the ancestral land this time, just choose the best one from the tribes outside.
We must listen more to the opinions of the tribesmen and strive to select people with high moral standards, who can satisfy and convince the vast majority of the tribesmen, who have made many meritorious contributions to the tribe and clan, and who have outstanding talents. "
The Youyan clan has developed so far. Although the ancestral land has the best development and the largest population, which is the core and spiritual belief of the Youyan clan, its proportion of the population is larger than that of the entire clan. Come smaller and smaller.
If you want tribes and clans to further develop, it is inevitable to expand the selection area and targets for high-level tribes, and it is also the general trend in the future.
Now, on the one hand, Yan further emphasizes the difference between immortals and mortals, giving ordinary people more freedom and space for development in order to temper the Yan clan's spiritual beliefs and humane civilization.
On the other hand, they also took advantage of the opportunity to elect the clan leader to take precautions to promote some rules and civilization processes of the Yan clan, so as to prevent the tribe from taking a detour or even falling into civil strife in the future without the restraints of gods like them.
This is not Yan's imagination. With the Yan family having a relatively complete Immortal inheritance, the ancestral spirit Chenghuang's Shinto inheritance, and the favor of the two saints Nuwa and Taiqing, the living environment in the future will be relatively relaxed.
At least, with the favor of the two saints Nuwa and Taiqing, those powerful people and knowledgeable forces in the ancient world will definitely not easily attack the Youyan clan directly.
As for those ordinary immortals, gods and monsters, if nothing unexpected happens, relying on the Yan clan's increasingly powerful Human Ancestor City God system and relying on the inheritance of the immortal way to foresee more and more fairyland tribesmen, they can basically block most of them.
In this way, Youyan's living environment will naturally be relatively relaxed in the future.
Living in such an environment and dispersed in tribal form, if a path to advancement cannot be provided for those who can, it is almost foreseeable that, driven by ambition and desire, there is a high possibility of civil strife or division.
