Screech!
The Divine Phoenix let out a long cry as the scarlet flames on its body surged and gradually turned dark red. Its body expanded to forty feet and the feathers on its body seemed to be cast from gold.
Its eyes immediately turned golden and its sharp claws protruded out. Its crescent-like teeth were enough to show that the Divine Phoenix was extraordinary.
It hovered in the air and looked down at the birds. It knew where their weaknesses were before it got ready, so it didn’t choose to attack them head-on. Instead, it wanted to show off the might of a Divine Beast!
“This is the Immortal Phoenix!”
Upon seeing this, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile as he thought to himself. In the previous few battles, the Divine Phoenix only fought in its ordinary form and did not display its Divine Beast form.
At this moment, with the appearance of the Divine Beast, the flock of birds that had been eyeing the Divine Phoenix and Ye Chen became flustered.
The Divine Phoenix represented the ultimate Yang Fire in the world. It was the most masculine fire in the world while the Thunderbirds used the Plague Fog to suppress the Yin Bloodline.
Ye Chen saw the strange sounds coming from the flock of birds and understood. He patted the back of the Immortal Phoenix’s neck and the latter understood.
Screech!
There was another long cry, the cry of a Divine Beast after displaying its might. The pressure on the flock of birds grew stronger and the chaotic flock of birds instantly quieted down. The black fog also retracted into their bodies.
“Sun God Envoy, let’s go over there.”
Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately ordered it to fly over. Meanwhile, the flock of birds gave way and lowered their heads, as if they had met a ferocious Bird King and did not dare to look at it.
They made their way to the basin without any obstruction.
“I couldn’t tell that the Sun God Envoy is this powerful.”
After landing, Ye Chen stroked the Divine Phoenix’s neck with a smile. He took out a piece of Blood Hawk meat from the totem space and fed it.
“Chirp… Chirp…”
The Immortal Phoenix squinted its eyes and enjoyed Ye Chen’s touch.
“Go play. I’m going to build a tribe here.”
After a moment of intimacy, Ye Chen called out to it and moved onto constructing the tribe. The Divien Phoenix, on the other hand, shivered and headed towards the flock of birds. It was obvious that it wanted to continue showing off its prestige as a Divine Beast.
Ye Chen took out his Tribal Totem and stared at it. He wanted to confirm where the best position was again.
[Tribe Totem: Place a drop of blood to form a tribe.]
[Hidden prompt message: Now placed, excellent location]
[Hidden prompt message: Walk 20 steps to the left. There will be unexpected surprises.]
An unexpected surprise? What did that mean?
Ye Chen was a little confused. He had to consider his position when he was here?
Without much thought, he walked twenty steps to the left and placed down the Tribal Totem.
Immediately, a ripple of light appeared in the surroundings, covering a radius of about five meters. Then, he dripped a few drops of blood on the totem. In a split second, the totem’s light burst out and the transparent air wall squeezed Ye Chen out of the light circle.
The rumbling sounds continued, attracting the attention of the Immortal Phoenix and the flock of birds outside. Ye Chen could not help but look forward to the huge commotion caused by the construction of the tribe.
This was his first home in the Great Desolate World!
At the same time, he was looking forward to the hidden hint mentioned by the Gold Finger. While he was in a daze, a five-meter tall wooden house appeared in front of him.
There was a red flag with yellow stripes on it, fluttering in the wind.
[Host tribe has been built. Please confirm the totem and the name.]
[Totem: The symbol of the tribe. Once it is confirmed, it cannot be changed. Once it appears, it cannot be replicated.]
As the emblem or symbol of the tribe, the totem was also the earliest embodiment of culture in human history. Ye Chen did not dare to be careless. He had to be pragmatic and compatible with it. Otherwise, if he blindly made this thing, it might affect the illusory luck.
This was also his emblem in the future. He had to think carefully. On the first day he came to this wild world, that electronic voice had indicated that humans would eventually meet.
Hence, a domineering and realistic totem was especially important. For a moment, Ye Chen did not know how to choose.
Directly use his own surname? That seemed too lousy.
After thinking for a long time, he still could not make up his mind. When he heard the Immortal Phoenix’s chirping, Ye Chen smiled and said, “This is it!”
“System, I choose the totem to be the Undying Phoenix!”
[Host, please imagine what the totem looks like in your mind. System will automatically intercept it]
Upon hearing this, two images appeared in Ye Chen’s mind.
One of them was the flames that filled the sky when the Divine Phoenix was born and the other was the image of the Divine Phoenix when it pierced the sky.
After a moment, Ye Chen confirmed that he was going to use the first one. When it fought, although the Immortal Phoenix’s performance was domineering and awe-inspiring, Ye Chen still felt that there was one less flavor. It was far from the domineering and majestic aura of the Immortal Phoenix when it was just born. Just as Ye Chen was recalling, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.
[Tribe Totem has been selected as the Undying Divine Phoenix Totem]
He turned his head and saw a flash of light from the flag on top of the house. An image of the Immortal Phoenix appeared.
On the red flag, yellow dao patterns appeared all around. It was just like the crimson flames that filled the sky when the Divine Phoenix was born.
With its golden body, it flapped its wings and wanted to fly high. Whether it was the sky full of crimson flames or the Immortal Phoenix’s expression, they were all vivid and lifelike, vividly imprinting the most domineering aspect of the Divine Beast in Ye Chen’s memory.
[Are you sure you want to use this totem?]
“Use it.” Ye Chen was very satisfied with the way the system worked. If he had to draw it himself, he definitely would not have such standards.
[Tribe construction completed. Host, please name it.]
[Name: Once confirmed, cannot be changed]
For a useless person like Ye Chen, it was time for him to have a headache again. In an instant, many names appeared in his mind.
Seth’s team? The Grand Desolate Strike Team? The first team? For the tribe? For the alliance?
...
However, Ye Chen rejected all these when they appeared. After pondering for a long time, he heard the chirping of the Immortal Phoenix again.
Ye Chen was stunned. Since he was here to play, he might as well play it big. Since the Divine Phoenix was named by him as the Sun God’s Envoy, he could accept more Divine Beasts in the future. He might as well call it the Divine Court!
This meant that in the future, all of his beasts would be Divine Beasts, while he would be the lord of the Court of Annihilation!
Ye Chen imagined himself going out with a group of Divine Beasts behind him, flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, walking on the ground. Just thinking about it made him happy.
This thought crazily sprouted in his mind. In the end, he silently chanted, “System, the tribe’s name is the Divine Court!”
