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

Pangu's Back Hall

Ye Kai sat cross-legged beside the blood pool, his eyelids slightly raised, and he saw the Fusang tree next to him.

The already scarlet trees were now laden with fruits that looked like little lanterns.

This brought a hint of joy to Ye Kai's face.

"This is... a hibiscus fruit?!"

Although Ye Kai had never seen a hibiscus fruit before, he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw those bright red little lanterns.

"These hibiscus fruits... they actually look somewhat similar to persimmons?"

With that thought in mind, Ye Kai took a hibiscus fruit.

The bright red fruit felt warm and smooth to the touch; when you gently squeezed it with your fingers, it was soft and fluffy, just like a ripe persimmon in later generations.

However, Ye Kai could clearly sense that this hibiscus fruit was different from the red persimmon. Not only was it smaller and more exquisite, crystal clear, but it also contained a blazing energy.

It even exudes the aura of the blood pool due to absorbing blood from it.

"This hibiscus fruit is not only of great benefit to cultivators practicing the Way of Fire, but also to the physical bodies of my Wu clan, and even..."

Thinking of this, Ye Kai became even more focused.

Without hesitation, he threw the hibiscus fruit in his hand into his mouth.

With a chew, the hibiscus fruit burst open in his mouth, erupting like lava, flowing down his throat and throughout his body.

Ye Kai's face turned red, and flames shot out from his seven orifices. The Devouring Heaven Sacred Flame activated on its own, instantly absorbing the flames and enhancing itself.

At the same time, Ye Kai's meridians and bones, every inch of his flesh and skin, also exuded wisps of blood energy, making him several times stronger than before.

"It really worked!"

Sensing this, Ye Kai's eyes lit up with even more joy. "This Fusang wood truly lives up to its reputation as one of the ten innate spiritual roots. I never expected such an unexpected surprise!"

"The rest should be given to our older siblings so they can share it with us; it will also benefit them."

"Especially Sixth Brother, he can not only enhance his physical body, but perhaps also refine his fire magic!"

With this thought in mind, a glint of light flashed in Ye Kai's eyes, and he had already made his decision.

Having made up his mind, Ye Kai did not hesitate and immediately plucked all the hibiscus fruits with a wave of his hand.

These hibiscus fruits are fully ripe, and they will not provide any further benefit if left to hang on the branches.

Rather than being just an accessory, it's better to actually enter your belly and enhance the strength of your brothers and sisters!

"Brother, sister, I have something wonderful!"

At this moment, Ye Kai disregarded any rewards for his seclusion and, shouting this, arrived at the front hall.

"Oh? What good stuff?"

"Thirteenth Brother, you've emerged from seclusion?"

"..."

Inside the main hall, Zhu Rong and the others were overjoyed to see Ye Kai emerge from seclusion and immediately asked him with smiles.

When Ye Kai saw Zhu Rong and the others, he was taken aback. "Where are my eldest brother, second brother, and sister Houtu?"

At this moment, only a few ancestral witches such as Zhurong, Gonggong, and Rushou were in the front hall, while Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and Houtu were nowhere to be seen.

"Big Brother and the others are busy with something. Little Thirteen, what good thing have you figured out? Show it to your Sixth Brother."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's question, Zhu Rong waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned.

He was now only thinking about the "good stuff" Ye had mentioned.

"Thirteenth brother, many things have happened in the various tribes of the Witch Clan over the past few thousand years. My eldest brother and the others have gone to deal with these matters."

Compared to Zhurong, Gonggong was more composed. He stroked his azure beard and explained to Ye Kai.

"I see, no wonder."

Upon hearing Gonggong's explanation, Ye Kai was taken aback at first, and then he realized what was going on.

"That's true. I've been in seclusion for so long; there must have been some changes outside."

As the ancestral witches of the witch clan, the eldest brother and the others certainly couldn't all be hands-off managers.

However, these hibiscus fruits have also been quite beneficial to my elder brother and the others, since they are not here...

……

"A hands-off boss? Are you talking about us, bro? We have things to do too!"

"Hibiscus fruit? What's that?"

"Since it was brought out by my younger brother, it must be something good."

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Zhu Rong and the others were taken aback and couldn't help but secretly complain.

of course,

Despite their complaints, since this matter also benefits Dijiang and the others, they naturally won't keep it all to themselves.

"Don't worry, little brother. Big brother and the others are just handling some trivial matters. It's nothing. If you need anything, we can call them over."

As she said this, Zhu Rong added solemnly, "We've dealt with similar situations before!"

It seemed as if he was explaining something to Ye Kai.

After all, they're not exactly hands-off managers!

"That's good. In that case, let's call our elder brother and the others back first. The hibiscus tree I planted earlier has blossomed and borne fruit. Because it absorbs energy from the blood pool, the fruit it produces is quite beneficial to our witch clan."

Upon hearing Zhu Rong's suggestion, Ye Kai did not hesitate and immediately explained.

"Hibiscus tree, hibiscus fruit, so that's what it is!"

Hearing Ye Kai's explanation, Zhu Rong's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed, "Alright, I'll call my elder brother and the others over right away."

As he said this, he immediately froze, and the aura of the Ancestral Witch erupted.

As the magical power flowed, Zhu Rong activated the secret techniques of the Wu tribe to send a message to Di Jiang and the others.

"My little brother has emerged from seclusion? He even brought hibiscus fruits for us to taste?"

"Hibiscus fruit? I see. So that's what I wanted when I made a bet with Di Jun Taiyi for a branch of their hibiscus tree."

"Since this concerns my younger brother, let's hurry back."

"..."

Among the Wu tribe, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin were gathering Houyi and other great shamans to discuss matters when they suddenly received a message from Zhurong. They were overjoyed and made a decision in secret.

They didn't care whether the hibiscus fruit had any special benefits.

In contrast, Ye Kai, who has been in seclusion for thousands of years, has finally emerged today, which is something they should be happy about.

Immediately, Dijiang's expression hardened, and he instructed Houyi and the other great shamans, "Ignore those demon envoys. What's wrong with our shamanic tribe eating a few demons? If they dare to come again, we'll eat them too!"

"It's the Ancestral Witch!"

Upon hearing Dijiang's instructions, Houyi and the other great shamans' eyes lit up, and they immediately agreed.

They had wanted to do this for a long time, but they dared not act rashly because the demon race was a major force in the prehistoric world.

Now that Dijiang has given them these instructions, they have no more worries.

Eat demons?

What's wrong with eating demons?

Survival of the fittest!

If your demon race can feed on dragons, why can't our witch race feed on demons?

"Second brother, little sister, let's hurry back, don't keep your little brother waiting."

After giving instructions to Hou Yi and the others, Dijiang gave some words of advice to Hou Tu and the others.

He then strode out of the council hall.

Houtu and the others did not hesitate and immediately followed Dijiang.

Hou Yi and the other great shamans were taken aback by this, not expecting that Di Jiang and the others were in such a hurry.

Regardless of what Hou Yi and the other great shamans thought, after leaving the council hall, Di Jiang and his companions transformed into streaks of light and flew straight towards the Pangu Hall.

Soon after,

……
