Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

Since his birth, Ye Kai first went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao for a thousand years, and then seized the innate gourd vine.

Although everyone gained something, the system didn't work at all!

Even more so,

Ye Kaiyuan thought that listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace should be considered as a period of seclusion.

But the system didn't give him any reward at all!

This salted fish system!

If he had no other choice, Ye Kai would have already put it in the salted fish market to recycle!

And now,

Whether it was listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace or the innate gourd vine, both had come to an end, and he should return to the Wu clan for seclusion.

[I refuse to believe that I can't earn even a small reward in these three thousand years!]

Ye Kai thought to himself.

Hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others exchanged smiles.

Then they no longer hesitated.

"Thirteenth brother, let's go home!"

Having said that, they did not linger any longer and returned to the Witch Clan.

At this time, the Wu tribe had already begun to take shape, and because the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes had retreated to the wilderness, they had freed up a lot of space.

Therefore, the Wu tribe has now occupied tens of thousands of miles around Buzhou Mountain.

This area spanning tens of thousands of miles was the core region during the Three Races period.

Now that the area is occupied by the Wu Clan, even if they cannot cultivate the Yuan Shen technique, it will still be of great benefit to them.

However, although the Wu tribe had become a tribe at this time, they were very rough and only built simple houses with stones.

Some of the witch tribes even live in caves!

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai's expression hardened slightly, and he had a new thought.

I never imagined the Wu tribe's living conditions were so harsh. If I helped them build houses and improve their environment, would I accumulate merit?

"Building houses? You can build houses too?"

"Perhaps it really is possible. After all, these houses of ours are all inherited from my younger sister's memories, and my younger brother may also have similar inherited memories."

"These things are not urgent, let's put them aside for now. I had planned to go into seclusion to cultivate before. I must have gained a lot from listening to the teachings at Zixiao Palace this time. I need time to digest it. It's not too late to consider these things after I've finished my seclusion."

"Yes, I agree!"

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin were taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Although they were surprised, they did not force Ye Kai, but chose to respect his wishes.

As they spoke, they returned to the Pangu Palace.

"Thirteenth brother, use the power of the laws to erect another stone pillar in the middle, and use it as your place for cultivation."

Dijiang looked around and then fixed his gaze on the center.

The Pangu Hall is divided into twelve sides, each with a huge pagoda, which corresponds to the twelve ancestral witches. There are no other stone pillars erected.

In contrast, there is a large open space in the center of the Pangu Hall.

It was for this reason that Dijiang wanted Ye Kai to erect a stone pillar in the middle as Ye Kai's seat!

"Isn't that a bad idea? I can just go to the back hall for seclusion. There's a blood pool there that can help me temper my body."

Upon hearing Dijiang's suggestion, Ye Kai was taken aback, but immediately responded.

[To pull up a seat and sit in the center of the hall? That's just outrageous.]

[The back hall is better; there's a blood pool there, and no one will bother us.]

"..."

"Brother, what Thirteenth Brother said makes sense."

"Our thirteenth brother was born not long ago, and his physical body is not as strong as ours. The blood pool in the back hall can help our thirteenth brother temper his body more quickly. It is indeed a better place for seclusion."

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were taken aback. After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Jiuyin made a suggestion to Di Jiang and the others.

"Alright! In that case, let's do as the second brother says. If the thirteenth brother wants to cultivate in seclusion in the back hall, then he can cultivate in seclusion in the back hall."

Upon hearing Zhu Jiuyin's suggestion, Dijiang no longer hesitated and agreed.

After all, what Zhu Jiuyin said was right. Although Ye Kai also had the body of an Ancestral Witch, even among those with the body of an Ancestral Witch, there were differences in strength.

Ye Kai was born later than them, so his Ancestral Witch body was weaker.

With the tempering of the blood pool, Ye Kai can also improve the strength of the Ancestral Witch Body more quickly!

"Very well! In that case, Thirteenth Brother, you shall remain in seclusion in the rear hall. With us here, no one will be able to disturb you!"

Without further hesitation, Dijiang gave Ye Kai his instructions.

"Okay! Thank you, brother."

Upon hearing Di Jiang's words, Ye Kai couldn't help but smile.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh right, there's also this. We rescued this spiritual root together, so let's divide it up."

As he said this, Ye Kai took out the Innate Gourd Vine.

Dijiang and his group also contributed a lot to the previous struggle for the Innate Gourd Vine.

In fact, if Dijiang and the others hadn't held back Laozi and Dijun, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Innate Gourd Vine so easily.

Therefore, Emperor Jiang and his group also had a share in these innate gourds, so he naturally couldn't keep them all for himself.

"Haha, Thirteenth Brother, please accept this spiritual root."

"Yes, it's not very useful to us; only you can make it useful."

"The spiritual root we seized earlier was for you."

"..."

Upon seeing Ye Kai's actions, Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the others were taken aback at first, and then burst into hearty laughter.

They were originally there to help Ye Kai seize the innate gourd vine, so naturally they wouldn't want Ye Kai's innate gourd vine.

"this……"

"So I'm just going to eat it all by myself? That's not very nice, is it? I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed."

Seeing the reactions of Dijiang and the others, Ye Kai was also taken aback and felt a little uneasy.

Having overheard Ye Kai's thoughts, Houtu couldn't help but smile. "Little brother, you're our brother. If we, as his older brothers and sisters, don't help you, who else should we help?"

"Moreover, you are the only one among us brothers and sisters who possesses a primordial spirit, and you have the best chance of becoming an existence like the Father God, so naturally we should help you even more."

"Only when you become stronger and become like the Father God can you protect us."

As Houtu spoke, though her words were earnest, they were more meant to comfort Ye Kai and ease his psychological burden.

"Yes, yes, little sister is right. When you become like Father God, we will be proud of you too."

"Young man, please accept this. Don't be so polite with us."

"If you keep dawdling, we'll get angry."

"..."

When Dijiang and the others heard Houtu's words, they all nodded repeatedly and comforted Ye Kai.

Seeing their actions, Ye Kai was even more moved.

I will definitely become like the Father God Pangu, protecting you from any harm!

Thinking this, Ye Kai nodded even more firmly, "In that case, I will accept it. Brothers and sisters, I will go into seclusion now."

Having said that, Ye Kai did not hesitate any longer and immediately went to the back hall.

Secluded training! To become stronger!

Protect those you must protect!

"Are we putting a bit of pressure on him by saying that?"

"We said that just now to get him to accept the gourd vine, there shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"

"..."

Hearing Ye Kai's voice, Di Jiang and the others looked at Ye Kai's back and couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, they only said that to comfort Ye Kai, and didn't mean anything else.

"We also started cultivating. Only when we are strong enough can we protect our younger brothers and clansmen. Then our younger brothers will no longer have any more thoughts."

"Yes, yes! There are still twelve more stupas, which seem to be hidden. We should also study them carefully."

"..."

Without further hesitation, they returned to their respective stone pillars and began their cultivation.

At this time,

Inside the rear hall!
