Bab 34: Peaceful Life
Editor: Atlas Studios
Tang Sen initially thought that the two women would vie for the limelight after they met, thus jeopardizing his plans. But to his surprise, things turned out differently.
Originally, the Saintess had been handling the tribes' various affairs. Due to the fact that Tang Sen was not around, the Saintess also had to oversee most of the matter. Hence, she was extremely busy in the past few days.
Needless to say, Scarlett was outstanding in the first place, but the Fox Demon Tribe's males looked down on her because she was a woman. When she was appointed as one of the Fox Demon Tribe's leaders thanks to Tang Sen, she was extremely satisfied.
As soon as the two of them met, they hit it off rather well. Scarlett asked the Saintess for help in handling some matters, while the Saintess asked Scarlett for some tips and shortcuts in cultivation. The two got along very well with each other.
With the passage of time, the city's construction was in full swing, and there was clear progress every day.
At the same time, fewer Beastkind also died because Tang Sen had gathered most of the tribes in one place. Perhaps they had heard some news, but the Capricorn Tribe did not appear either.
However, Tang Sen naturally wouldn't let the matter go just like that. His peaceful life had only begun for a short while. The tribes had previously suffered casualties, and they needed some time to rest and recuperate.
Such a life could be considered unusual when Tang Sen first arrived. But Tang Sen did not let his guard down against the Capricorn Tribe, and he had heard many stories about loyalty too. Hence, he would not make serious mistakes in this aspect.
However, the Capricorn Tribe was now hiding very well. Tang Sen couldn't discover any of their traces at all. Otherwise, Tang Sen would long have gone to seek revenge.
In the past few days, Tang Sen's underlings had suffered greatly due to the Capricorn Tribe. Thus, Tang Sen wouldn't let them off at all. Although the Wild Lion Tribe, the Ferocious Tiger Tribe, and the Fox Demon Tribe had had some conflict with Tang Sen's underlings before they submitted to him, the conflicts were far less severe than the one between the Capricorn Tribe and Tang Sen.
In fact, it was normal for there to be casualties in a war between the tribes. Even Tang Sen usually chose not to intervene. He could not easily shirk the responsibility of killing.
Due to the brutal revenge that the Capricorn Tribe had been exacting on Tang Sen, the latter had drawn several crosses on the Capricorn Tribe's name. Tang Sen was not as graceful and furious as they thought.
Although Tang Sen knew that he would gain a lot of Strength of Faith after conquering the Capricorn Tribe, he was not interested in trying at all because of their behavior.
One should only obtain wealth through ethical means.
The hatred between the tribes was actually rather interesting. Some of the tribes had formed a feud with each other, but their resentment was gradually disappearing as they interacted with each other more.
Tang Sen didn't think that he was capable enough to resolve all the hatred.
Even though there were some minor conflicts between Tang Sen's underlings now, Tang Sen had never intervened. In fact, he had even stopped the Saintess from interfering. He clearly didn't think that she would be a good mediator.
Although there was conflict, it was rather restrained, and the tribes had never fallen out with each other for the sake of monetary interests. Thus, Tang Sen turned a blind eye to it.
Of course, with the progress of the city's construction, some of the smaller tribes were extremely busy. They were so busy that they didn't have the time to get into a conflict either. By the time they discovered it, the conflict between the tribes had already abated greatly.
But Tang Sen was doing something as well—he had been pondering the reason for the large number of casualties. After thinking for a long while, he still attributed the reason to the tribes' lacking strength. In fact, such issues were prevalent in many tribes.
But the strongest were still the eight major Beastkind tribes. Other than them, the other tribes were incompetent due to various reasons. Some were restricted by their inherent traits—which limited their growth speed—while some were too lazy to improve their abilities because they were not interested in battles.
Tang Sen got a huge headache while thinking about the problems. He truly didn't expect that some tribes chose not to improve their abilities because they disliked engaging in battles despite the world's brutal laws.
He couldn't understand it.
Tang Sen really couldn't understand their rationale. Hence, he had no choice but to helplessly issue an order that mandated everyone to improve their strength and abilities at this moment.
After making that announcement, a burst of white light scattered on all of his followers' bodies.
Godly Blessing could indeed improve their abilities and talent, but at the end of the day, they would still have to put in effort on their part.
The Saintess was the one most overjoyed about the order. In fact, she was the one who had the courage to accept that she was not competent enough. In the beginning, she often neglected her cultivation because she had to handle various matters. Hence, her abilities did not improve much.
But later on, the two battles that occurred caused the Saintess to realize that her abilities were continuously increasing. Thus, she was working hard non-stop. After all, she was the priest of Tang Sen—who often wasn't around.
Hence, she had to do everything herself and had naturally skimped on cultivating.
The Saintess was extremely excited after hearing the news. No matter from which perspective, being able to improve her abilities was something mandatory to the Saintess.
Even the tribes which disliked engaging in battles and cultivation were now compelled to start cultivating because of Tang Sen's orders.
Tang Sen did not slack off either. He often monitored his people's cultivation progress and would often discover those who had sunk into confusion.
All of a sudden, the tribes' atmosphere became excellent. Some were planting seeds, some were building the city, and some were guarding the tribes. Now, more and more people were cultivating as well. Thus, the conflicts between each tribe were reduced.
The various tribes' members were initially allowed a very short break only, so Tang Sen's order had basically drained their last ounce of energy. Whenever they looked at each other, they would find that they were in the same plight. Hence, they no longer wanted to make things hard for each other.
This was considered an unexpected joy for Tang Sen.
