Those from other tribes also quickly noticed the commotion.
Yesterday, the messenger sent by the Chi You tribe had informed them that people from the home planet were guests here.
Seeing Chi Shi's enthusiastic reception of Fang Er and Xi Tong, coupled with them being new faces, they quickly guessed their identities.
"Hahahaha! These two must be the esteemed guests from the home planet!"
"Chi Shi, hurry up and introduce us!"
A scarred man stepped out from the crowd, looking at Fang Er and Xi Tong, and chuckled heartily.
Chi Shi nodded repeatedly, leading Fang Er and Xi Tong to the front of the crowd. He first introduced their names, then gestured to the people from other tribes.
"This is the chief of the Xing Tian tribe, Xing Bukui!"
"Zhu Rong tribe, Zhu You!"
"Gong Gong tribe, Gong Tong!"
"Zhun Ti tribe, Zhun Bei!"
"Jie Yin tribe, Jie Sheng!"
"Jing Wei tribe, Jing Shenxiao!"
Whoa...
To think that in just one day, Chi Man had invited so many people!
Fang Er smiled and nodded at each of them.
Xi Tong stood by his side, openly linking his arm, abandoning her usual fierce demeanor.
After a brief chat, everyone took their seats and began asking Fang Er about the recent situation on Earth.
Xi Tong, true to her word, stepped forward to answer their questions.
Fang Er was happy to take a break and sat aside, observing.
They listened with rapt attention to both modern and ancient history.
Throughout the conversation, they occasionally interjected with comments or compared the situation in the Wan Qu Realm with Earth.
Admittedly, this exchange also provided Fang Er with more information about this world.
For instance, the total population of humans in the Wan Qu Realm had dwindled to less than one hundred thousand.
The size of the Wan Qu Realm remained unknown to humanity.
Beyond their living areas, countless ferocious beasts roamed.
And the humans here had no semblance of technological development, falling far behind the Yan Huang tribe of the past.
Those who were imprisoned here were almost all powerful figures, and scholarly pursuits were not their forte.
On the other hand, survival was difficult, and many technologies had been lost over billions of years.
Take the Chi You tribe for example. In the past, across the entire Yan Huang Star, they were almost unparalleled in smelting and forging.
Even though the weapons and mechs used by humanity now were all produced by the Chi You tribe.
Chi Shi himself admitted that these items, during the peak of Yan Huang's might, wouldn't even qualify as toys!
The same applied to the genetic modification technology developed by the Xing Tian tribe.
Those lizardmen were their creation!
Although the terminology differed, if translated into understandable terms, genetic technology was the most direct.
The genetic technology of the Yan Huang in the past had reached an unimaginable level!
They could even create entirely new species by using gene fragments from different creatures!
For example, the black dragon Fang Er encountered yesterday!
That's right!
The dragon race was created by the Yan Huang tribe through genetic technology!
In addition, other tribes also had their own specialties.
For example, the Zhu Rong tribe!
There was no oxygen in the Wan Qu Realm, so fire did not exist.
The orange-yellow small stones used for roasting meat yesterday were their creation.
They could continuously emit high temperatures to cook food, and under specific conditions, they could also emit a strong light.
The lighting used in the cave where Chi Shi lived was the effect of those small stones.
They called them light stones.
It took Fang Er a considerable amount of time to digest this information.
After all, it involved encountering novel things in a new world, with new discoveries appearing every moment.
...
This gathering lasted for a full seven days.
For these humans imprisoned in the Wan Qu Realm, there was nothing much to hide.
The key point was that these people might be able to help Fang Er.
Therefore, Xi Tong recounted everything she could think of in great detail.
After listening to her account, Gong Tong frowned and asked.
"So, you are going to Kepler-452b to retrieve the home planet's star core?"
"That's right. If the star core is not retrieved, the people on the home planet will either have to migrate entirely like the Yan Huang tribe, or face certain death!"
"At that time, your Wan Qu Realm might also be affected."
Xi Tong elegantly poured herself a glass of mojito, removed her mask, and took a sip.
The leaders of various tribes looked at each other, unsure of what to say for a moment.
They had long since grown indifferent to the Yan Huang tribe, as billions of years were enough to erode everything.
"Everyone, no matter what mistakes your ancestors made, they have long since been atoned for."
"You can all contribute in retrieving the star core."
"After the matter is settled, whether you wish to return to the home planet to live or to live a peaceful and long life on Kepler-452b is your freedom."
"In any case, any choice is better than being confined in this dark and bleak place, isn't it?"
Seeing their silence, Xi Tong chimed in with a smile to stir the pot.
"Bang!"
Chi Shi, being straightforward, slammed his fist on the table. The light stones in the basin used for roasting meat were jolted, scattering everywhere.
He stared intently at the others, veins bulging on his face, and gritted his teeth in resentment.
"That's right!"
"We have already paid for our ancestors' sins!"
"Now, it is the Yan Huang tribe that owes us!"
"I can't stand staying here any longer!"
Zhu You, also not one to back down, said forcefully.
"Chi Shi is right!"
"If we don't do something, our descendants will eventually perish!"
"Whether you can endure it or not, I can't endure it anymore!"
"Damn it all!"
Zhun Bei, stroking his beard, slowly nodded. "This matter can be entrusted to the Kuafu tribe to take the lead."
"Just tell them that Kepler-452b has countless peerless beauties."
"Although they can have relations with anything in their eyes, beauties ultimately hold more appeal!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Jie Sheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The group of leaders, in a few words, made the same decision.
That is, to help Fang Er retrieve the star core taken away by the Yan Huang tribe!
As for what would happen afterward, that could be dealt with later.
Although the capabilities of these people were far inferior to their ancestors, the Wan Qu Realm and Earth were two different worlds after all!
The fundamental difference in matter led to vast disparities in technology.
After the small gathering, the chiefs of each tribe departed. Fang Er, however, remained at the Chi You tribe, contemplating the common things in this world.
