Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 156: Establishing the Zhujiuyin Tribe, Prospering and Growing Stronger!

Returning to the primordial wilderness, looking at the desolate landscape now filled with ruins, one can't help but sigh.

There was no way around it; the battle was too brutal, and the vast wilderness was affected, reduced to ruins.

"The war is over, and our Wu clan has won. Now, all those belonging to the Wu clan should quickly clean up the battlefield and return to Buzhou Land." After saying this, Di Qing ignored the shouts from the battlefield and returned to Buzhou Land.

But with Di Qing gone, all the remaining cultivators on the vast battlefield are now shouting.

"We won! We won!"

"This battle was too brutal. We don't know how many of our clansmen and fellow cultivators sacrificed their lives. But it was all worth it."

"Haha... From tonight onwards, who will dare to provoke our Witch Clan? Even Tiandao was defeated by the clan leader, and all of Tiandao's subordinates died tragically."

Countless cultivators shouted, and countless members of the Witch Clan were stirred, but amidst their joy, they were also keenly aware that they had suffered heavy losses in this battle.

But as long as we can win, it's all worth it.

Immediately, countless cultivators followed Di Qing's orders and began to organize and process the battlefield.

However, looking at the endless battlefields littered with corpses and seas of blood, and the many blessed lands reduced to ruins, one can't help but feel a strange mix of emotions.

Millions of years have passed before this great war, which swept across all living beings in the primordial world, finally came to a complete end.

The mountains of corpses and seas of blood were either used as resources or dissolved into the earth, becoming nourishment for the land and repairing the devastated wilderness.

Many of the desolate lands that were reduced to ruins have melted away over time, gradually changing their former topography.

The fall of countless cultivators also caused the Great Cultivation Era pioneered by Emperor Qing to decline into obscurity. Although the methods Emperor Qing passed down still circulated in the primordial world, the number of cultivators had decreased far too much.

The number of primordial cultivators that increased several times over during the Great Cultivation Era has now dwindled to only a handful.

The spiritual energy of the entire primordial world has decreased due to this battle. Not to mention the western regions, which have become deserts, and the eastern, southern, and northern regions, which have suffered significant resource depletion.

Even the once eternally unchanging Buzhou Land has become an ordinary training ground due to the excessive consumption of Buzhou power and resources. It no longer possesses its former glory and immense power.

Nowadays, cultivators in the primordial world can easily enter the interior of Buzhou Mountain without the protection of the Wu Clan. At most, the core of Buzhou Mountain still retains a strong aura of Buzhou, making it difficult for people to set foot inside.

Di Qing stood in the Ancestral Witch Hall, looking at Di Jiang and the others who were dejected and showed no joy of victory: "What's wrong? We've won the great battle, why aren't you happy?"

"Clan leader, although we won this battle, it was a Pyrrhic victory. In this battle, half of our Wu clan members alone perished. Not to mention the Kunlun Immortal Clan and the Buddhist followers." Dijiang said with a hint of shame, self-reproach, and guilt.

Dijiang felt guilty because the core of this war was the result of their neglect of the Heavenly Dao. Back then, in their search for the missing Diqing, they allowed the Heavenly Dao to develop unchecked. But they never imagined it would develop so rapidly, ultimately leading to the devastation of this great war.

If they had been more decisive back then and had defeated the Heavenly Dao with overwhelming force when it was just beginning to develop, perhaps this battle would never have happened.

Di Jiang felt guilty, as did the other ancestral witches. They looked at Di Qing, unsure what to say. They could only say with dejected expressions, "Clan leader, it's all our fault. If we had made a decision sooner, we wouldn't be in this miserable state."

"Alright, everyone. Don't take on responsibilities that aren't yours." Di Qing naturally understood Di Jiang and the others' thoughts, but he also knew that a battle with the Heavenly Dao was inevitable. Although the battle was fierce because of Di Jiang and the others' negligence, it would have been truly troublesome if Di Jun and the others had actually intervened back then.

The Heavenly Dao's overt scheme was to force the Witch Clan to act, thereby ultimately leading to its own demise. The Heavenly Dao controlled Hongjun's power, and only Di Qing among the entire Witch Clan could contend with him. If Di Qing hadn't been present back then, Di Jiang and the others would have intervened.

That means it's very likely that before Di Qing even left the Inner Primordial World, the Wu Clan would have already been almost entirely wiped out.

Therefore, the current Emperor Jiang and his ilk's forbearance is a very correct choice.

Di Qing couldn't bear to see their dejection, and he snapped, "Alright, stop looking so glum. Let's talk about the losses from this battle first!"

"The losses were too great. Half of the Wu Clan perished, ninety percent of the Kunlun Immortal Clan perished, and the Buddhist followers were almost entirely wiped out. Although the five clans were not damaged, because the primordial land suffered calamity in this battle, many members of the five clans could only sacrifice themselves, merging into the earth to repair it."

"It can be said that this battle has depleted most of the foundation that our Wu clan has accumulated over countless years."

The revelation of this horrifying figure plunged all the cultivators present into silence. Although they had already guessed that the battle would result in heavy losses, they had not expected the losses to be this severe.

Di Qing had anticipated this loss, and after a moment's thought, he said, "This battle has resulted in heavy losses, but the enemy's losses have been even greater. The forces belonging to the Heavenly Dao have been almost entirely eradicated by us. The remaining Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, and Taiyi are no threat at all. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao has also been defeated by me. I estimate that the Heavenly Dao will be in decline for countless years."

"Clan leader, although the Heavenly Dao is in decline, its unique nature allows it to continue to recover by following the cycles of heaven and earth. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao has lost this battle, but it has won the future. After all, much of what our Wu Clan has lost is irreparable!" Zhu Jiuyin was also aware of the structure of the Heavenly Dao and the trickery involved in this battle.

The Creation Immortal and the others were well aware that the greatest loss in this battle was the loss of the power of Buzhou. This was the Witch Clan's greatest trump card.

Upon hearing this, Di Qing didn't say much. After all, it concerned matters of the Inner Primordial World, and Di Qing didn't want to tell them. Or rather, the fewer people who knew about the Inner Primordial World, the better.

Looking at their still dejected state, Di Qing immediately said, "The Heavenly Dao seems to have won in the future. But how can we underestimate the future of our Wu Clan? If the Heavenly Dao rebuilds and develops again, will our Wu Clan be doomed?"

"Alright, I don't want to say anything more. Next, I will reorganize the Witch Clan and its power."

"From now on, the Wu tribe will be divided into thirteen tribes, with the Thirteen Palaces as the core. Each Ancestral Wu will lead a Palace to various parts of the prehistoric world to develop and reproduce on their own."

"Dijiang, you will lead your clan and hundreds of billions of people to the eastern lands to establish the Dijiang tribe, multiply and thrive, and strengthen yourselves."

"Zhu Jiuyin, you too should lead your clansmen, along with hundreds of billions of humans, to the northern lands to establish the Zhu Jiuyin tribe, to multiply and thrive, and to strengthen yourselves!"

"Luxury is worse than a corpse..."
