Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 16 Ancestral Witches, Are They Really That Great?

Completely bewildered, Jiang Heng followed the Ancestral Witch Houtu into the Witch Clan. He was certain that he had been deceived by the prehistoric legends of later generations.

Jiang Heng originally thought that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, had come to the Netherworld Blood Sea by accident, and then, after a moment of realization, she comprehended the true meaning of reincarnation.

Next, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, roared and transformed into Samsara, thus establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Therefore, when facing the Ancestral Witch Houtu, Jiang Heng intentionally or unintentionally guided her, even pointing out the place of reincarnation.

According to the normal script, shouldn't Houtu, the ancestral witch, immediately attain enlightenment and be able to reincarnate?

Who would have thought that Houtu, the ancestral witch, had attained enlightenment but had no intention of undergoing reincarnation?

She said she was going back to the Wu clan to carefully consider how to establish reincarnation, but it turns out that the Ancestral Wu Houtu never even considered transforming herself into a being of reincarnation.

Jiang Heng would naturally not suggest that Houtu Ancestral Witch be reincarnated, as that would force Houtu Ancestral Witch to sacrifice her own interests for the greater good.

The establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is extremely important, but it must be based on the will of the Ancestral Witch Houtu herself.

Jiang Heng was extremely disgusted by moral blackmail. If anyone wanted to use moral blackmail, they should go and reincarnate themselves!

However, as Jiang Heng returned to the Wu clan with Houtu, the ancestral witch, he gradually came to understand that Houtu's transformation into reincarnation was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"The Witch Clan truly lives up to their reputation as the overlords of the primordial world; their strength is indeed unparalleled!" Jiang Heng exclaimed.

Along the way, every member of the Wu Clan that Jiang Heng encountered was stronger than an Earth Immortal, and most of them were even comparable to a Mystic Immortal.

There are many who are comparable to Golden Immortals, and even great witches who are comparable to Great Luo Golden Immortals are common throughout the entire witch clan.

With such terrifying strength, far surpassing that of the human race, Jiang Heng knew in his heart that the rise of the human race still had a long way to go.

"Our Wu clan was formed from the essence and blood of Father God Pangu. We were born with great power, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage!" said Houtu, the Ancestral Wu.

"Oh? What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?" Jiang Heng asked, a thought striking him.

"Our witch clan is born powerful, but precisely because of this, most witches are born with a limit to their strength."

"Once the witches reach adulthood, their strength becomes difficult to increase, and it is almost impossible for them to advance further!" said Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

Every advantage has its disadvantages. The Wu tribe is born powerful, but its room for progress is limited, and there is almost no possibility of further advancement.

Although humans are born weak, they have unlimited potential for growth in the future. From this perspective, humans are not without advantages.

However, for most humans, the hope of growing to the level of the witch race is extremely slim.

Of course, as Jiang Heng spreads the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law among the human race, this situation will soon cease to exist.

Moreover, compared to the witch race, the human race reproduces at an extremely fast rate. While a witch race member is still a child, a human race member can already reproduce for several generations.

Among billions of humans, there will always be one or two geniuses. Given enough time, the human race will inevitably produce emperor-level powerhouses.

They traveled in silence. Jiang Heng first followed Houtu, the ancestral witch, to the Houtu tribe. After Houtu arranged some things, the two continued their journey.

According to Houtu, the establishment of the place of reincarnation is of great importance, and she must consult with the other ancestral witches.

Jiang Heng was already well-known for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and naturally wanted to see just how strong the physical bodies of the Witch Clan really were.

There's nothing we can do about it; Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, is not only extremely beautiful, but also doesn't look like a witch at all.

Even if Jiang Heng had a thick skin, he wouldn't dare to ask Houtu, the ancestral witch, to have a competition.

Led by the ancestral witch Houtu, the two traveled onward and soon arrived at the Pangu Temple, the sacred site of the witch clan.

Not long after arriving at the Pangu Palace, before Jiang Heng could even meet the Ancestral Witch, the thing that Jiang Heng had been longing for was about to come true.

Looking at the two burly men in front of him, their muscles bulging and their faces full of anger, Jiang Heng was not surprised at all.

Jiang Heng stated that this is the correct way to understand the Wu Clan. As for Houtu Ancestral Witch, she is definitely a heretic within the Wu Clan.

"Boy! Did you bewitch Houtu, causing her to have the idea of ​​reincarnation?" one of the burly men shouted angrily.

Jiang Heng remained outwardly calm, but carefully observed the burly man who had just spoken. From the man's powerful aura, it was not difficult to guess that he must be an Ancestral Witch.

Looking at this Ancestral Witch, clad in red armor, her blazing aura was overwhelming. Without a doubt, this should be Zhu Rong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"Speak! Did you bewitch Houtu? If you don't give us an explanation, we'll make you pay today!" another burly man shouted angrily.

The aura of the burly man who spoke was no weaker than that of the Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong, so he was naturally also an Ancestral Witch.

Looking at this Ancestral Witch, who is wearing black armor and whose body is filled with abundant water vapor, he should be Gonggong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the one who angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain.

Judging from the meaning of the two ancestral witches' words, Houtu, the ancestral witch, must have already decided to reincarnate, which is why she came to the Pangu Temple to discuss with the other ancestral witches.

However, Jiang Heng was somewhat puzzled as to why Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, would conceal her true thoughts and bring Jiang Heng to the Witch Clan.

The other ancestral witches, just as Jiang Heng had imagined, were typically physically strong but mentally simple, and could hardly understand why the ancestral witch Houtu wanted to transform into reincarnation.

All the Ancestral Witches thought that Houtu had gone mad, but later they learned that Houtu had brought Jiang Heng back with her this time.

Gonggong and Zhurong naturally assumed that Jiang Heng had somehow bewitched Houtu, the ancestral witch, causing her to want to reincarnate.

That's why we're seeing this scene now, with the two ancestral witches, Zhurong and Gonggong, coming to settle scores with Jiang Heng in a very imposing manner.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? I'd like to ask, is this how the Witch Clan treats its guests?" Jiang Heng said calmly.

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were not to be trifled with; they were known for their fiery tempers among the Wu tribe. Seeing Jiang Heng's appearance, they were instantly enraged.

"Hahaha! Kid, you're the first one in my Witch Clan to dare be so arrogant. Looks like if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't even know what 'death' means!"

Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, laughed in extreme anger, his rage rising rapidly, and a powerful force began to gather, indicating that he was about to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Hmph! Don't waste your breath on this brat. He dares to bewitch the Ancestral Witches. He deserves to be torn to pieces!" said the Ancestral Witch Gonggong angrily.

"I've long wanted to see just how powerful the Ancestral Witch's physical body is. Are you coming one by one, or all at once?" Jiang Heng said calmly.

Although Zhurong and Gonggong were ancestral witches, they immediately launched an attack, their aggressive attitude showing that they didn't take Jiang Heng seriously at all.

Jiang Heng wasn't exactly known for his good temper either. Did they really think that Jiang Heng was afraid of a mere Ancestral Witch?

"Wow! Wow! Wow! I'm going to beat you to death!"

Unable to contain its rage any longer, Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, stepped forward, unleashing a burst of immense power.

Jiang Heng was not afraid at all. He secretly gathered the power of his Great Perfection Holy Body, his face full of eagerness.

"Brother Zhurong, Brother Gonggong, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you this was my own decision!"

Just as a great battle was about to break out, the voice of the ancestral witch Houtu came from afar, and the two ancestral witches Zhurong and Gonggong changed color instantly.

After giving Jiang Heng a hateful look, the two ancestral witches, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, quickly put on smiling faces and turned to greet the ancestral witch Hou Tu.

"Houtu, please don't misunderstand. We don't intend to kill this boy. We just... we just..."

Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, scratched his head, unsure of what to say, unaware that he had already revealed his true thoughts.

"Houtu, we were just sparring!" Gonggong, the ancestral witch, remained calm and managed to come up with a reasonably good reason.

"Yes! It's just a friendly spar, nothing more!" Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, quickly said.

Despite their fiery tempers, the two ancestral witches, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, only they knew that what they feared most was the ancestral witch Hou Tu.

Before the ancestral witch Houtu, the two ancestral witches Zhurong and Gonggong not only lost their fiery tempers, but also became as docile as mice before a cat.

Although Jiang Heng didn't know the details, judging from the current appearance of the two ancestral witches, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, it was obvious that they were both doting on their younger sisters.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, knew perfectly well what kind of temperament her two older brothers were, but she was too lazy to explain.

"Fellow Daoist, my two elder brothers were far too reckless; I'm so sorry to have startled you!"

Houtu, the ancestral witch, rolled her eyes at Zhurong and Gonggong, the two ancestral witches, before somewhat embarrassedly speaking to Jiang Heng.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind! Just as the two Ancestral Witches said, we are only preparing to have a friendly spar!"

"I also want to see just how powerful the physical body of the Ancestral Witch is, so that I can verify my own Dao!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Boy, is that really true? Don't say my Wu clan bullied you. I'll fight you one-on-one. Do you have the guts?" Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, immediately said.

It seems that Zhu Rong, the ancestral witch, has not let up her anger towards Jiang Heng at all, and probably wishes she could give Jiang Heng a good beating.

"A promise is a promise!" Jiang Heng said resolutely, unfazed.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly and did not say anything more to stop her.

Among the witch tribe, strength is highly revered; as long as your fist is big enough, what you say is considered valid.

Now, the Ancestral Witches all believe that Jiang Heng has bewitched them, so naturally they dislike Jiang Heng very much.

If she truly reincarnates, given the temperaments of the Ancestral Witches, they probably won't let Jiang Heng off the hook.

Jiang Heng is, after all, the supreme ruler of the human race, and the human race may suffer a calamity because of this, which is not what Houtu, the ancestral witch, wants.

A battle is also a good thing. As long as Jiang Heng's strength wins the recognition of the Ancestral Witches, some things can be discussed openly.

But is Jiang Heng really capable of fighting against the Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong?
