Xuan Xiao, having heard of the many hidden secrets of the human race, felt a newfound resolve within him. His future purpose became clearer, and his demeanor shifted, unconsciously exuding a unique and imposing aura of authority.
Observing this change, the You Feng Clan Ancestor stroked his beard and chuckled, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride. "Xuan Xiao, you are now a leader of the human race, possessing a pure innate celestial body that makes you exceptionally suited for cultivating the Golden Core System. I shall pass it down to you now. But remember, this system is only meant for you, never to be shared with others. To avoid... well..."
"I understand, Ancestor. Don't worry, I will only study and glean insights from the Golden Core System, not truly cultivate it. Otherwise, if only I could cultivate it while the rest of the human race cannot, it wouldn't be beneficial for our overall advancement." Xuan Xiao had a clear vision of his future, one where he would undoubtedly lead the human race.
Xuan Xiao envisioned four key advantages to leading the human race. Firstly, his memories from a later era provided him with the knowledge to guide their development, preventing them from repeating past mistakes. Secondly, by spearheading their advancement, the human race would not waste precious time, only to develop after the emergence of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
Thirdly, leading the human race would elevate Xuan Xiao's own status and power. Lastly, by uniting the human race under his banner, Xuan Xiao could accumulate vast amounts of fortune, which, in turn, would bring countless benefits to the human race.
Therefore, both for the sake of the human race and his own personal ambitions, Xuan Xiao felt compelled to unify them. And to achieve that, he must set an example. It would be inappropriate for him to cultivate the Golden Core System while his people could not.
For this reason, Xuan Xiao would merely draw knowledge from the Golden Core System. Once he reached a certain level of cultivation, he would then create a unique cultivation system tailored specifically for the human race.
Sensing Xuan Xiao's unwavering determination, the You Feng Clan Ancestor expressed his approval and support. "Since you've made your decision, I can only offer my full backing."
"Ancestor, please rest assured, I know what needs to be done." Xuan Xiao smiled gratefully towards the You Feng Clan Ancestor, acknowledging his genuine concern for the human race and his willingness to trust a younger generation. He then posed a question, "Ancestor, I have another query. Why did Cai'er's father insist on my joining the Dragon Clan? Is it because the talent of a future leader of the human race is so exceptional that it even piqued the interest of the Dragons?"
"Ha! Xuan Xiao, you shouldn't underestimate the potential of our human race. While we are a race born later than others, we possess many innate celestial bodies that are absent in even the most ancient beings."
"Innate celestial bodies? This…."
Xuan Xiao's curiosity intensified, he yearned to uncover the secrets behind these words.
Just as Xuan Xiao was about to delve deeper into the matter, the You Feng Clan Ancestor's expression shifted subtly, his fingertips moving in intricate gestures, seemingly enacting some kind of divine ability. His demeanor became grave and serious.
Noticing this change, Xuan Xiao could not help but ask, "You Feng Clan Ancestor, has something significant happened?"
"Yes, there's a small matter. The other seven Ancestors have summoned me urgently. It seems I cannot stay here any longer to answer your questions." The You Feng Clan Ancestor appeared genuinely pressed for time, abandoning his lesson with Xuan Xiao. He pulled out an ancient scroll of animal skin. "Xuan Xiao, I must return to my designated position. Everything about the human race is inscribed on this scroll. Study it at your leisure, it will reveal all you need to know."
Xuan Xiao accepted the scroll, his eyes scanning the intricate markings that weren't any recognizable script. However, he could understand the message they conveyed.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Xuan Xiao refrained from detaining the You Feng Clan Ancestor. "Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. Please be careful on your journey. If you require anything of me, I will do everything in my power to assist."
"Don't worry, there's no danger this time, just some complexities. As the future of the human race, I hope you will grow strong and swiftly." The You Feng Clan Ancestor spoke no more, turning and flying away.
The You Feng Clan Ancestor had departed in a hurry, leaving Xuan Xiao in the dark about the nature of the urgent summons. Though Xuan Xiao wanted to ask, the Ancestor had not divulged any details.
Xuan Xiao felt a surge of admiration for the human race's elders. Such dedication to their people was truly commendable. Watching him depart, a contemplative expression settled on Xuan Xiao's face. He realized that he couldn't afford to be complacent any longer. He needed to grow, to become stronger, and to do so quickly.
........
Following the You Feng Clan Ancestor's departure, Xuan Xiao diligently studied the scroll, eager to learn everything about the human race.
But before he could delve too deeply, Ye Lao's voice reached him from outside the palace.
Ever since Yun Xiao had left, the day-to-day affairs of the Tian Xing Tribe had been entrusted to Ye Lao. Xuan Xiao held great trust in him, and his arrival now clearly indicated an important matter.
Xuan Xiao welcomed Ye Lao inside and inquired, "Ye Lao, what brings you here? Has the tribe encountered an issue that requires my immediate attention?"
"Alas, Chief, I know you are currently engrossed in studying ancient texts and enhancing your cultivation. But a grave problem has arisen in the tribe, one that only you can solve. I had no choice but to disturb your meditation." Ye Lao's face was filled with a heavy sense of worry.
Xuan Xiao's demeanor turned solemn, "What is it?"
Since setting his sights on his goals, Xuan Xiao had become increasingly invested in the Tian Xing Tribe's growth and prosperity. After all, it was the foundation of his vision to unite the human race, and he would not tolerate any setbacks.
Ye Lao's voice carried a tinge of despair, "Chief, the current population of the tribe has reached tens of millions. The old systems we used to manage the tribe have become outdated and inefficient. Just the matter of names is a huge challenge. Many members share the same name, and some have no name at all. Finding a specific individual often takes a significant amount of time.
"Furthermore, the tribe's different sections are intermingled. The hunting teams, the guard teams... various aspects are riddled with problems."
Ye Lao presented a detailed list of concerns, and Xuan Xiao listened intently, pondering solutions. He wasn't surprised by Ye Lao's concerns.
The Tian Xing Tribe had once been small, only a few tens of thousands strong, and no complex systems were necessary for management.
But now, it had transformed into a massive tribe of tens of millions. The old systems had become inadequate, and compounded with the loss of many aspects of human civilization, leaving behind only rudimentary remnants, it created various difficulties.
Xuan Xiao fell silent, recognizing the urgency of addressing these issues. If left unresolved, they would hinder the Tian Xing Tribe's growth, impact his own fortune, and jeopardize his future dream of unifying the human race.
With this realization, Xuan Xiao put aside his study of human secrets. He began strategizing ways to tackle these challenges. These problems would need to be addressed sooner or later, and he knew they could be resolved fairly quickly. "Ye Lao, rest assured, I will find a solution to these problems without delay."
After exchanging a few more words with Ye Lao, Xuan Xiao dismissed him.
Then, he called out, "Xuan Zhou, Xuan Ye... Go to the tribe's warehouse and bring back all the things I created in the past."
Xuan Zhou and Xuan Ye responded without a word, swiftly departing to carry out Xuan Xiao's orders.
Left alone, Xuan Xiao sank into deep thought, devising solutions to these challenges.
The first issue, the problem of names, was relatively straightforward. He could use his knowledge from his past life to create a system based on the Hundred Family Surnames.
