Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats

Ethan's reasoning was simple.

Since the Moonshadow Tribe had fallen into decline, similar to the Bonepiercer Tribe, the reason must be similar.

So, he wanted to confirm whether his guess was right.

"Yes, Master Ethan."

It wasn't Chief Bonen who answered this time, but Ancestor Skulnen. His old eyes carried a shadow of sorrow as he recalled the distant past. "Back then, when I was Chief… I witnessed it with my own eyes."

He drew in a long breath before continuing. "Around 1000 years ago, there was once a great war among the five Hermit Tribes for a Rank 9 Cultivation Resource.

At first, the Bloodclaw Tribe fought as though they had gone mad, throwing themselves at us and suffering grievous losses.

We believed they had doomed themselves, that their foundation would not recover for at least a thousand years. But we were wrong… terribly wrong."

His hollow eyes gleamed faintly. "While we thought they were merely desperate, they were cunning. Their true goal was never victory in that battle—it was the destruction of the Heavenly Artifacts.

By focusing everything on breaking them, they crippled us where it hurt the most.

The Bonepiercer Tribe's artifact fell first… then, they shattered the Moonshadow Tribe's as well. Only after that did they retreat, broken and bleeding, hiding back in their Secret Enclave."

Ethan's expression sank. "So that's how it is…."

Skulnen gave a bitter laugh. "The four tribes rejoiced back then, thinking the Bloodclaw Tribe would need at least a thousand years to recover.

Yet, less than three centuries later, they emerged not only recovered but even stronger than before.

To everyone's shock, they surpassed us all—even the Green Lotus Tribe, which was the strongest at the time. Their rise was too swift, too unnatural, and it left the other Hermit Tribes trembling."

He clenched his skeletal hand on his staff. "And all of it began with the breaking of our Heavenly Artifacts."

"From here on, I think I know what happened."

After hearing everything, Ethan got a clear picture of the Hermit Tribes' past.

'Once the Bloodclaw Tribe recovered their strength, they must have gone to the Bonepiercer Tribe and the Moonshadow Tribe that started to weaken with the destruction of their Heavenly Artifacts.'

Ethan continued to mutter to himself about the past events of the Hermit Tribes, 'Using them, they went after the Green Lotus Tribe first and then the Primal Fang Tribe.'

In the end, once those two tribes were destroyed, the remaining tribes decided to form an alliance, hoping that the Bloodclaw Tribe wouldn't target them.

"But, deep down, we know that if the Bloodclaw Tribe really wants to destroy us, it could do it. That was the reason why I wanted a powerful backing like an organisation."

This time, it was Chief Bonen who spoke as he explained why he was very eager to swear his loyalty to Ethan earlier.

"Don't worry. I will keep my promise and try my best to nurture a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator from your tribe."

Even though it was not easy for a Perfected Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator to break through to the Soul Transformation Realm, Ethan was confident in helping Ancestor Skulnen achieve it.

At that time, not only would he have a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator subordinate, but he would also gain more authority in this world that was filled with Powerful Organisations.

"Also, I will try to find a way to restore your Heavenly Artifact."

Ethan didn't forget to mention restoring the Bone Heaven Orb.

For Ethan, compared to the regular usage of the Bone Heaven Orb, which was to nurture the Bone Beasts, he was more interested in the hidden effect of the Heavenly Artifacts of the Hermit Tribes.

Moreover, since the system had issued that mission, Ethan strongly believed that there must be a way to restore them. So, he said those words, making Chief Bonen repeatedly thank Ethan.

"Ancestor Skulnen, Master Ethan, I have made all the arrangements for the meeting. Shall we go?"

As Ethan, Chief Bonen and Ancestor Skulnen were discussing the things of the past and planning the future, Elder Meyla entered the hall and respectfully informed them.

"Master Ethan, shall we go?"

Ancestor Skulnen asked Ethan, who nodded his head, and soon, they left the Bone Fortress.

After walking for a few moments, they arrived at a place that had a huge square-shaped stone platform with four bone totems in each corner.

"So, this is the Teleportation Square you mentioned earlier, which lets us directly enter the Moonshadow Tribe's Secret Enclave, the Moon Enclave."

Looking at the huge stone platform, Ethan's curiosity piqued.

"Yes, Master Ethan."

Chief Bonen nodded his head and explained, "After forming an alliance with the Moonshadow Tribe, we constructed this Teleportation Square. In case one of the tribes gets attacked by the Bloodclaw Tribe, they would escape into the other tribe using this Teleportation Square."

"With this, our tribe's chances of survival will be greatly increased unless the Bloodclaw Tribe can attack both Secret Enclaves at once."

Ancestor Skulnen remained silent because all these things were novel to him. So, just like Ethan, he also listened to him and gave a thumbs up to Chief Bonen's decisions and thorough planning for the tribe's survivability.

Against the Bloodclaw Tribe, even the strongest Hermit Tribes, like the Primal Fang Tribe and the Green Lotus Tribe, were destroyed.

So, Ancestor Skulnen could not help but be proud of Chief Bonen's actions.

"The only problem is, it requires a huge amount of High-level Spirit Stones for each use, depending on the people using it, with a minimum of 1000 High-level Spirit Stones for five people."

Chief Bonen paused for a moment before saying, "After that, for every individual standing in the Teleportation Square, it requires 1000 High-level Spirit Stones."

"What? Is it that costly?"

It was Ancestor Skulnen who was the first one to get shocked by the numbers and said, "Then, why are we using this when we are not in an emergency? We could just fly to the Moon Enclave."

Even though currently, only three people, Elder Meyla, Ethan and Ancestor Skulnen, were entering, they had to use a minimum of 1000 High-level Spirit Stones to activate the Teleportation Square.

1000 High-level Spirit Stones means 10 Million Low-level Spirit Stones… which the Bonepiercer Tribe could afford. Ancestor Skulnen felt it was a waste of money because 10 Million Low-level Spirit Stones wasn't a small number.

Moreover, there was an option where they could just travel on their own to the Moon Enclave without using the Teleportation Square.

So, Ancestor Skulnen suggested they should just travel on their own without wasting the Spirit Stones.

"Ancestor Skulnen, the Moon Enclave is in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, and it would take at least one week to reach if we take a safer path and three days even if we take the difficult path."

Chief Bonen shook his head as he explained, "Also, Master Ethan said that he wanted to meet the Moonshadow Tribe's Chief as soon as possible, as he had other things to do. So, this is the best option."

"It's alright, Ancestor Skulnen. Since this trip is related to me, I will sponsor the trip."

With that, Ethan was about to hand out 1000 High-level Spirit Stones, but he suddenly thought of something, 'Wait a second… what if I use an alternate power source to activate the Teleportation Square?'
