I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The one who walked out of the darkness was the chief priest Weisheng.

There was a hint of contemptuous smile on his old face, and he held tightly in his hand the scepter that symbolized his status as the high priest.

"Emissary of the Rangsi tribe, you may not understand the rules of our tribe. Change? Humph, it's just a little trick to attract attention." He glanced at Baona contemptuously, his tone full of disdain.

Baona took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Chief Priest Weisheng, everything I do is for the future of the tribe."

"The future?" Chief Priest Weisheng laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke. "So what you mean by the future is abandoning the traditions of our ancestors and pursuing those illusory things?"

Bao Na was about to refute, but she found that Le Zheng Material Manager had stood next to Wei Sheng, the chief priest, with a look of gloating on his face.

"Bona, if you want to implement new changes, you must need supplies, right? Without my permission, you can't take anything from the reserve!" He said, looking at Bona with a provocative look, as if waiting to see her despair.

Baona's heart sank and she walked quickly towards the supply storage warehouse.

The heavy wooden door slowly closed behind her, and a musty smell hit her face.

In the empty warehouse, there were only some broken tools and rotten animal skins left. Where could she find the supplies she needed?

She looked at the empty storage warehouse and her heart sank little by little.

"Well? Have you given up now?" The sharp voice of Lezheng Materials Manager echoed in the warehouse, with a hint of pride. "I told you all along that your new ideas are simply not feasible!"

Bao Na suppressed her anxiety and turned to face the Le Zheng material manager. "Even if there are no supplies, I will find a way to complete my plan!"

Le Zheng's supplies manager sneered, "I wonder what else you can do!"

Baona ignored his ridicule and turned to leave the warehouse.

She walked aimlessly in the tribe, the oppressive atmosphere like an invisible net, tightly wrapping her.

The whispers of the tribesmen around her pricked her nerves like needles.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a stone at her feet. This stone...

This stone...

It is dark red in color, with a rough surface and some shiny particles faintly visible.

Baona's idea moved her, and she bent down to pick up the stone and looked at it carefully.

The shiny particles reflect dazzling light in the sunlight, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

A strange premonition came to her mind, and she suddenly remembered the records about "flint" in ancient books. Could it be...

She immediately found some hay and sawdust and rubbed it hard with a stone.

Sparks flew and the hay caught fire instantly!

Baona's heart beat faster with excitement, and an unprecedented joy surged in her heart.

Flint!

This was the alternative fuel she had been searching for!

The originally depressed supporters around also gathered around, looking at the burning flames, cheering one after another, the depressing atmosphere was swept away, and an atmosphere full of hope spread in the tribe.

The news soon reached the ears of the Queen of Ancient Dian.

She came to Baona and looked at the burning flames. "Baona, you did a great job." Her majestic voice echoed among the crowd, with a hint of relief. "Your courage and wisdom are worthy of learning for all of us."

Baona looked up at the queen, her heart filled with gratitude.

The Queen's support undoubtedly gave her tremendous strength.

"Your Majesty, I..."

The queen patted her shoulder gently, signaling her not to say anything more.

She looked around and her eyes fell on the gloomy face of the chief priest Weisheng.

"I know some people in the tribe are skeptical about change. But I want to tell you that change is for a better future for the tribe, not to abandon tradition." She paused, her tone more resolute. "I support Baona, and I hope everyone will give her a chance to lead us to a better tomorrow."

The Queen's words were powerful, and some of the tribesmen who had been wavering expressed their support for Baona.

The chief priest Weisheng's face turned pale, but he did not dare to refute the queen in person.

He glared at Baona fiercely and turned away.

Gongye's sacrificial assistant followed closely behind, while Lezheng, the material manager, had an unwilling look on his face and muttered something under his breath.

As night fell, a blazing bonfire was lit in the tribe.

The tribesmen sang and danced to celebrate the arrival of new hope.

Baona and the Queen of Ancient Dian sat side by side, looking at the happy crowd with relieved smiles on their faces.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Baona said sincerely.

The Queen of Ancient Dian smiled slightly. "You have done very well, Baona. I believe that you will be able to lead the tribe to prosperity."

In the distance, the figure of the chief priest Weisheng looked particularly eerie in the firelight.

He looked at the bustling crowd with a sneer on his face.

"Hmph, Queen of Ancient Dian, do you think this can change everything? I won't let you succeed..."

The chief priest Weisheng had a gloomy face and led Lezheng, the material manager, and Gongye, the priest assistant, to the residence of the ancient Dian Queen in a menacing manner.

The room was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the smell of incense could not cover up the tense smell of gunpowder in the air.

Priest Weisheng leaned on his scepter, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on Baona's heart. He raised his chin proudly and said in an unquestionable tone: "Your Majesty, Baona's actions completely violate the teachings of our ancestors. Her so-called reform will only lead the tribe to destruction!"

Le Zheng, the supplies manager, added fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty, Bao Na has completely disregarded the actual situation of the tribe. She insists on having her own way and recklessly squanders the tribe's resources. If she continues like this, sooner or later we will be dragged down by her!"

Gongye's assistant priest added sinisterly, "Your Majesty, Baona is misleading the people and disrupting the order of the tribe. She is challenging your authority!"

The three of them talked to each other, and every word they said stabbed Bao Na like a sharp knife.

Baona felt that breathing became difficult, but she still straightened her back and looked directly at the Queen of Ancient Dian with a firm gaze, without any intention of retreating.

At this moment, the Lacquer Carving Ceremony Trainer walked in with a group of people. His resounding voice broke the oppressive atmosphere in the room: "Your Majesty, I firmly support Baona's reform! Sticking to the old ways will only make us stagnate. Only change can make us stronger!"

The crowd behind him also expressed their support for Baona.

A young hunter stepped forward and said excitedly, "Bona's new method has greatly improved our hunting efficiency. We no longer have to worry about going hungry!"

An elderly woman trembled as she walked up to Baona and held her hand tightly: "Thank you, child. You have given us hope!"

More and more tribesmen came out to support Baona, and their voices combined into a powerful force that completely suppressed the arrogance of the conservative forces.

Baona felt a warm current surge in her heart and a confident smile bloomed on her face. She seemed to see a better future.

However, Chief Priest Weisheng did not give up. His Ancient Dian Queen looked at Baona with a complicated expression. Baona's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind...
