Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Led by Amy and Tia, everyone from the tribe's camp gathered at the lakeshore.

New members gazed curiously at the old ones, who in turn scrutinized the newcomers until Enzo walked into the center of the crowd. At that moment, all eyes turned to him.

"We need to establish a new camp!" Enzo announced.

His words sparked immediate discussion.

The veteran members of the tribe had anticipated this development and were relatively unsurprised.

However, among the new members, confusion and murmurs erupted.

Finally, someone spoke up, "Lord Priest, do you mean to separate the new members from the old ones?"

Enzo dismissed the idea, "No. Instead, everyone will work together to build the new camp."

He elaborated, "This will be a shared camp where each of you will construct your own dwellings, cultivate your own fields, and sustain yourselves through hard work to prepare for the coming rainy season and the long winter ahead."

These words stirred more discussions.

Many tribe members were puzzled by Enzo's intentions.

Were they no longer going to distribute food together?

Enzo offered no further explanations but instead instructed, "Everyone, stand behind me. I will build a bamboo wall on the lakeshore as the first defense of our new camp!"

This statement further piqued the curiosity of the tribe members.

What did Lord Priest mean by building a bamboo wall?

Was he suggesting constructing walls from bamboo?

It seemed like a massive project requiring abundant labor and resources, which they currently lacked. How would Lord Priest accomplish this?

Nevertheless, individuals like Heru were filled with excitement.

They followed Enzo, annihilating the Chew Bone Tribe, witnessing firsthand the miraculous sight of vines dancing to slay the plunderers of the Chew Bone Tribe, a scene etched into their minds.

Now, could they witness such a spectacle again?

Amid the curiosity of most and the anticipation of a few, Enzo spared no effort in unleashing the mighty power of the leaf totem of the life tree after its advancement. This power was so grand that even Priest Lucy of the Venom Tribe, present nearby, felt its impact, her face displaying a mix of awe and a sigh, recalling Enzo's earlier words.

The crowd was deeply shaken.

They witnessed countless bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, swiftly growing into tens of meters tall bamboo trees. Dense and sprawling, they occupied a large area along the lake shore, forming a continuous mass with only a narrow three to four-meter-wide passage left open. Everywhere else, they seamlessly connected without leaving the slightest gap.

This was — a miracle!

No matter whether they were new or old members, everyone was thoroughly stunned at that moment.

They knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, "This is the power of deities! Lord Priest has mastered the power of deities! No! Lord Priest is the embodiment of deities, he is here to save us!"

The crowd continued to cheer.

Beside them, Jessica, Rita, and their group were completely stunned.

At that moment, they confirmed that Priest Lucy had not exaggerated. In the face of such immense power, even the formidable Chew Bone Tribe would not stand a chance.

However, amidst the cheering crowd, Clara, Tia, and Amy stepped forward to support Enzo.

They helped Enzo to rest beside the furry body of the giant bear Betta. Clara couldn't help but say first, "Next time, don't be so reckless. What if you encounter danger?"

Tia quickly added, "I will protect Lord Enzo."

Amy smiled and said, "Clara, Enzo must have his reasons for doing this. At least now, the loyalty of those new members has increased significantly."

Enzo remained silent. At this moment, he felt drained of his power.

Despite the totem advancement, the rapid growth of so many bamboo plants at once, covering nearly half the length of this side of the lakeshore—about several hundred meters—was too much for Enzo. He was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

However, the benefits were also very clear:

Firstly, it significantly boosted the confidence of the tribe members, which could be seen in the growing strength of the tribal fire.

Secondly, it provided Enzo with a clearer assessment of his current strength.

His current strength, when unleashing the full power of his totem, could instantly kill thousands of ordinary tribe members. However, the consequence was that he needed several days of rest to recover his strength.

But compared to the increase in strength, this cost was nothing.

Thirdly, materials for constructing the pontoon bridge were ready.

After resting for a while with Amy's support, Enzo still maintained his powerful demeanor. He called Monta, Ward, and many other managers and issued orders: "Organize manpower and build the pontoon bridge!"

Monta and the others answered loudly, "Yes!"

Under the guidance of Venom Tribe members, numerous tribe members began cutting bamboo and preparing it to the appropriate lengths. Despite hundreds of people participating simultaneously, it was still no simple task, and another group had to prepare food.

The only convenient aspect was the proximity to the water source.

Three days later, a simple bamboo pontoon bridge floated on the lake surface.

To test the bridge's load-bearing capacity, Enzo had the giant bear Betta walk across it. Betta was reluctant, but tempted by the totem's power, the giant bear reluctantly complied. It cautiously extended its claws onto the pontoon bridge, causing it to sink slightly but without significant issues.

Subsequently, Betta stood on the pontoon bridge.

It remained stable without sinking much further.

Once Enzo confirmed it was safe, Betta immediately happily ran towards the opposite shore of the lake. Enzo smiled with satisfaction at the bridge's quality and then ordered the others, "Everyone cross the bridge and establish the new camp!"

Before long, everyone had crossed to the opposite shore of the lake and began bustling with activity once more.

In the afternoon, Amy came to report to Lord Enzo: "Lord Enzo, the terrain model around the new camp has been completed. We need you to designate the areas."

Enzo nodded and walked towards the sand table.

Taking the stick handed by Amy, he marked out a vast area on the model encompassing the entire lake, large stretches of jungle along the shore, several small hills, and extensive open land. The area was many times larger than the previous campsite.

The enormity of the area puzzled Amy.

Curious, she asked, "Enzo, isn't this area too large? "

A larger campsite means we'll need more resources to defend it.

Enzo looked at Amy and patiently explained, "In fact, this area isn't large enough yet. Once the new camp is established, we'll need to expand further. All this jungle and grassland must be included within the camp's perimeter. Next, the tribe needs to overcome food shortages, and agriculture and animal husbandry are crucial. This requires extensive land."

Amy seemed to grasp the importance but wasn't fully aware.

Clearly, she hadn't realized how critical scaling up agriculture and animal husbandry could be. The small farms in the original tribe camp only provided a small variety of potatoes and sweet potatoes to vary the tribe's diet but couldn't sustain them.

This was something Amy would come to understand in the future.

Enzo had confidence in his assistant, the beautiful fox-girl.

Once the campsite boundaries were set, Enzo proceeded to divide it in detail:

The jungle areas were designated as residential zones, with some tall trees earmarked to support house structures.

The grasslands were set aside for livestock and agriculture.

The small hills and surrounding areas were allocated for the Battle squad's training grounds, with plans marked for watchtower construction atop the hills.

Besides these, there's also an additional fishing area.

The fishing area referred to the entire lake, where a large number of fish could be a source of food. However, the amount caught needed to be controlled. If the fish population in the lake decreases significantly, it could lead to depletion of fish resources, which Enzo definitely did not want to see.

Additionally, there were two major industrial areas.

In the new settlement, Enzo designated an area near the lake as an industrial zone.

He also instructed people to use bamboo, hollowed out internally, to create pipes for transporting water from the lake to the original tribe camp, addressing their water needs.

The original tribe camp has abundant clay resources and many existing caves that can be utilized.

It could save a lot of time.

The only trouble was transporting the finished pottery and bricks, requiring someone to watch over the kilns and guard against potential animal attacks.

To address this, Enzo decided to cultivate several soporific flowers around the original tribe camp.

He just left only one safe passage.

However, transportation remains an issue.

Enzo pondered, "Perhaps we can use wood to make some wooden carts for transporting large quantities of pottery and bricks, but first we need to clear a flat road..."

Enzo shared his idea, asking Amy to take note of it.

With a large supply of bamboo, Enzo immediately had people start making bamboo strips and taught Amy the script of the barren mountain, using sharpened charcoal as a writing tool. This enabled better adoption of many suggestions and brought more order to the tribe, significantly improving the tribal fire.

After all these plans, Enzo asked, "Amy, did we miss anything?"

Amy flipped through the interconnected bamboo strips, examined each one, and then said, "There's one more thing concerning the construction of the ceremonial plaza. Everyone in the tribe agrees that it should be made larger, and a statue of you should be erected in the center of the plaza. One of the newest members, Snow, has extensive experience in stone carving."
