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

Chapter 260 The Ancestral Witches Battle the West!

Deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, ten colossal figures stood, surrounded by endless malevolent energy.

The faces of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch and the Houtu Ancestral Witch were filled with excitement, their gazes fixed on the ten towering figures.

How many years has it been? Since the final battle of the Lich Wars, the primordial world has passed through at least several million years.

This was also the time when the ten ancestral witches fell. And today, millions of years later, the ten witches who had already fallen have reappeared in the primordial world.

A deafening roar resounded, and ten colossal figures appeared in the primordial world, announcing their return to all living beings.

However, the ten Ancestral Witches appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. Although they have recovered, they are still far from being at their peak.

Jiang Heng has used the essence and blood left behind by the Ancestral Witches and the physical body of the Great Dao Demon God to help the ten Ancestral Witches reshape their true forms.

The consciousness of the ten Ancestral Witches has begun to recover, and in this state, the ten Ancestral Witches can be considered to have been resurrected.

However, it will still take some time for consciousness and body to fully merge. Only then will the ten Ancestral Witches be considered to have returned to their peak condition.

Even so, one can imagine the excitement in the hearts of Xuanming Ancestral Witch and Houtu Ancestral Witch to witness the resurrection of the ten Ancestral Witches.

If the ten Ancestral Witches are left in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it won't be long, at most a thousand years, before they can reappear in the primordial world.

Not long after, Jiang Heng left the Six Paths of Reincarnation and returned to the Fire Cloud Cave to begin his secluded cultivation once again.

This battle within the Six Paths of Reincarnation began and ended abruptly, lasting only a short time.

But for Jiang Heng, this battle was far from simple on the surface; the underlying implications were even more thought-provoking.

The obsession of the Great Dao Demon God is comparable to that of a Heavenly Dao Realm expert. The Heavenly Dao can even be condensed. Just how strong is the hidden power of the Heavenly Dao?

Moreover, since the Heavenly Dao has already condensed the obsession of a Great Dao Demon God, can it condense even more obsessions of Great Dao Demon Gods?

Moreover, the manifestation of the power of the Heavenly Dao also means that the perfection of the Heavenly Dao has entered its countdown, which is the most fatal thing.

Once the Heavenly Dao is perfected, it will possess the power to sweep away everything. If Jiang Heng cannot break through in time, how will he fight against the Heavenly Dao?

Without a doubt, for Jiang Heng, everything else can be put aside now; the only urgent matter is to achieve a breakthrough.

Fortunately, Jiang Heng has found the direction to move forward, and all that remains is to follow this path firmly and steadily.

With Jiang Heng in seclusion for cultivation, and the ten Ancestral Witches remaining silent for the time being, the surface of the entire prehistoric world has once again returned to a state of calm.

The celestial realm and the mortal realm are both incredibly peaceful. In the celestial realm, after Lu Ya became the new Jade Emperor, it presents a scene of peace and prosperity.

Although Lu Ya was ambitious, he knew what was important and understood how he had obtained his position as the Jade Emperor.

Without the support of the Sage Nuwa and Jiang Heng, would Lu Ya still want to become the Jade Emperor? He wouldn't even dream of such a good thing.

Moreover, with the human race so powerful now, even if Lu Ya has great ambitions, he wouldn't dare to plot against the Earthly Immortal Realm.

If he could be a good Jade Emperor, become the ruler of the Heavenly Realm, and restore the former glory of the demon race, what more could Lu Ya possibly want?

After Fuxi became the ruler of the human realm, the entire human realm had formed a unified empire and entered a new era.

The human realm is vast and boundless. The area currently occupied by human beings is actually nothing compared to the vastness of the human realm.

With the continuous exploration of new life-bearing planets and the search for new directions for the development of civilization, the entire human world is already in a process of rapid development.

In this process of rapid development, putting aside other things, the number of human beings alone is already rising sharply.

As the number of living beings in the human realm increases, the power of humanity also continues to grow, and the will of humanity becomes stronger and stronger as a result.

As the power of humanity grows stronger, it will inevitably pose a threat to the Way of Heaven, and this situation will inevitably escalate.

However, after the Six Paths of Reincarnation made their move, the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun fell silent again, showing no signs of continuing their actions.

This does not mean that Heaven and Dao Ancestor Hongjun are willing to remain silent; temporary silence is often for a greater purpose.

In the Immortal Realm, with the arrival of the Golden Age, human geniuses emerged in great numbers and prodigies roamed freely, each beginning their own legend.

However, some astute individuals have discovered that it is not only the human race that produces geniuses; other races do as well.

Whether it's the dragon race, the phoenix race, or other races like the demon race, some exceptionally talented descendants emerged during this period.

Even among the saintly sects like the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, many extraordinary disciples emerged during this period.

Logically speaking, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the current Immortal Realm is much weaker than before, and cannot be compared with that of the ancient times.

This should have been an era of boundless and arduous cultivation, a time of stagnation for all living beings and the decline of the strong, but what has emerged now is a golden age.

The power of living beings has experienced a major explosion in this era, and when this happens, there are generally two possibilities.

One possibility is that when the world develops to a certain point and is about to break through its limits and reach a new level, countless beings with extraordinary talents are born.

Another type is the rise and fall, where the world is about to fall into silence, and it unleashes all the power it has accumulated at once, which gives birth to so many exceptionally talented beings.

Regardless of the possibility, one thing is certain: the entire primordial world has entered a critical period.

Many powerful figures who had chosen to live in seclusion after witnessing the coming catastrophe of the world now realize that this catastrophe is probably no small matter.

Remaining secluded from the world and avoiding all karmic entanglements is the only way to avoid great calamities in the past.

However, in this great eon, the situation has fundamentally changed, and this method may not necessarily work anymore.

Among the human race, countless geniuses rose up, striving for the supreme position of the Human Emperor. It was under such circumstances that Fuxi gradually rose to prominence.

When Fuxi ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, his cultivation level was naturally not high at the beginning, which meant that he had to start from scratch and cultivate step by step again.

But for Fuxi, who had awakened his memories of his past life, none of this mattered. In a short period of time, Fuxi's cultivation level rose as if he had taken a rocket.

Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Taiyi Mysterious Immortal. In just a few hundred years, Fuxi had successfully entered the realm of Golden Immortal.

This is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Immortal Realm is not as strong as before; otherwise, Fuxi's cultivation speed could have increased considerably.

Fuxi, now in the Golden Immortal Realm, officially participated in the struggle for the Human Emperor in the Earthly Immortal Realm, competing with many human prodigies and creating his own legend.

More than a thousand years have passed, and the competition among the great talents of the human race has not ended, but has instead intensified.

On this day, deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a deafening roar resounded once more, and ten colossal figures emerged.

Boundless malevolent energy gathered, and the true forms of the Ancestral Witches shook the heavens and earth. In this way, the ten Ancestral Witches told all living beings in the primordial world that they had been revived.

After more than a thousand years of recuperation, and with the help of the ancestral witch Houtu, the physical bodies and consciousness of the ten ancestral witches have now completely merged.

Moreover, with the help of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, the ten Ancestral Witches completely broke through the limitations of the Witch Clan and gained primordial spirits.

This is the supreme creation of Houtu Ancestral Witch in establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation. All the witch clans in the underworld have long possessed primordial spirits.

But how could ordinary witches compare to ancestral witches? Ancestral witches who possess primordial spirits are no longer comparable to the ancestral witches of the past.

It is no exaggeration to say that a patriarchal witch who possesses a primordial spirit can not only further enhance her own strength, but also have unlimited possibilities for the future.

In the primordial world, the Ancestral Witches were considered veteran powerhouses, and there were very few with more seniority than them in the present primordial world.

Moreover, the Ancestral Witches possess the bloodline of Pangu, giving them exceptionally high talent. However, the lack of a primordial spirit limited their potential for further advancement.

Now, with the birth of their primordial spirits, the Ancestral Witches are freed from all shackles and can fully strive for higher realms.

Of course, becoming a saint in the primordial world is not an easy thing, especially when Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao existed.

If they could defeat Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, and create a completely new primordial world, then the Ancestral Witches would truly see hope of becoming saints.

After the ten ancestral witches were revived, they were filled with emotion as they faced the current situation in the prehistoric world, and found it difficult to adapt in a short period of time.

After all, in the present-day primordial world, the Wu tribe has become a thing of the past, and no longer possesses any of the glory that once dominated the land.

The ten ancestral witches were naturally somewhat unwilling, and even believed that after their resurrection, the witch clan would surely be able to restore its former glory.

However, after being persuaded by Houtu, the ancestral witch, and seeing the current prosperity of the human race, the ambitions in the hearts of the ten ancestral witches gradually faded.

How can we compare? Let's not even talk about the fact that the human race now has two Saint-level powerhouses, and Jiang Heng is an unparalleled powerhouse who can rival Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

It is only to say that even if the Ancestral Witches joined forces, they would not be able to defeat the Quasi-Saint level experts among the human race.

Moreover, the sheer number of humans far surpasses that of the witch race. Want to compete with humans? They might as well give up and go to bed.

Moreover, in the end, the reason why the ten ancestral witches were able to revive was largely due to Jiang Heng's help.

This sentiment alone was enough to prevent the ten ancestral witches from doing anything to compete with the human race, and they could only slowly extinguish the ambition in their hearts.

Through Houtu, the ten ancestral witches gradually learned that their demise was partly due to the machinations of the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

In order to avenge their grievances and for the future of the Witch Clan, the ten Ancestral Witches quickly shifted their focus to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

The ten Ancestral Witches did not remain silent in the cycle of reincarnation, but led the Witch Clan back to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

For the ten ancestral witches, although they no longer had the ambition to compete with the human race, as witches, they should stand firmly on the ground and proudly between heaven and earth.

The Immortal Realm is also vast and boundless. Although the human race is numerous and incredibly powerful, it is impossible for them to occupy all the territory in the Immortal Realm.

In the Immortal Realm, there exist beings such as the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Demon Clan, and it is impossible for the human race to completely exterminate these races.

Since the human territory could not be touched, the ten ancestral witches quickly turned their attention to the western lands, which were not human territory.

In the Western world today, hundreds of races and spirits coexist, and countless different kinds of races exist.

However, what dominates the Western lands is not anything else, but Heaven, which was transformed from the original Western religion.

Heaven reigns supreme, reaping the faith of all beings. Countless kingdoms exist in the Western lands, yet all are devoted believers in Heaven.

In fact, on the Western continent, any race that dares not believe in Heaven will be wiped out in no time.

When the ten ancestral witches led their witch clan to the western land, it was like a group of catfish surging into a pond; the outcome was predictable.

In a short period of time, the witch clan led by the ten ancestral witches established a foothold on the western land and occupied a certain territory.

This was just the beginning. Under the leadership of the ten Ancestral Witches, the powerful members of the Witch Clan soon began to wage war in all directions, igniting boundless flames of war on the western continent.

Faced with the powerful and domineering witch clan, countless creatures on the western land were terrified, and all races lived in constant fear.

Faced with this situation, Heaven, as the ruler of the Western Continent, could not possibly be unaware of the seriousness of the matter and quickly responded.

But when Heaven truly faced the Witch Clan, it realized how powerful they were now, even comparable to the Witch Clan of yesteryear.

The twelve Ancestral Witches were unharmed. Although only ten Ancestral Witches came this time, each of them was equivalent to a peak Quasi-Saint.

The true form of the Ancestral Witch is so powerful that it is practically immortal. Just based on this alone, no Quasi-Saint can gain any advantage when facing the Ancestral Witch.

Moreover, the Witch Clan has now completed their primordial spirit, and their strength has reached a new level, far surpassing that of ordinary peak quasi-saints.

In Heaven, there are only four archangels who are at the peak of quasi-saints. How could they possibly be a match for ten ancestral witches?

Although there is a guiding saint in Heaven, don't forget that the Witch Clan also has a Houtu Ancestral Witch.

After breaking through, Houtu Ancestral Witch was already at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, comparable to Dao Ancestor Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao Realm. How could the Sage of Reception be a match for her?

Although the Wu Clan has remained dormant in the cycle of reincarnation for many years, it has accumulated boundless merit by relying on the cycle of reincarnation, and has made significant progress in its development.

Most importantly, the Ancestral Witch Houtu replenished the primordial spirit of the Witch Clan, giving the newly formed Witch Clan the possibility of continuously growing stronger through cultivation.

In terms of strength, Heaven is no longer a match for the Witch Clan. Perhaps their only remaining advantage is their numbers.

In Heaven, because of the existence of angels, which are weapons of war, the combat power above the Fairy Realm must be in the tens of billions.

Although the Witch Clan is incredibly powerful, its reproduction rate is not fast, which results in a relatively small number of Witch Clan members.

Therefore, although the Wu tribe swept across the western continent, it would still take some time for them to fully digest the territories they occupied.

However, for Heaven, in a short period of time, the situation on the Western Continent had deteriorated into chaos, Heaven suffered repeated defeats, and its power began to shrink continuously.

Under these circumstances, countless creatures on the western lands inevitably developed strange thoughts and began to flock to the witch clan.

If it were during the Lich Wars, given the proud nature of the Wu tribe, they would never have looked down on these beings; it would have been a good thing if they hadn't destroyed them.

But the Wu tribe has changed somewhat, and has begun to accept other creatures from the western lands, incorporating them into the Wu tribe.

Seeing that the Witch Clan had not been completely wiped out, other creatures, realizing the situation was unfavorable, naturally sided with the Witch Clan on a large scale.

After all, there's really no difference between submitting to Heaven and submitting to the Witch Clan; it's just that the one above you has changed.

This is the most basic rule of the primordial world. Everyone is doing this for the survival and continuation of their race, and there's nothing shameful about it.

When these beings truly sided with the Witch Clan, they were pleasantly surprised to find that submitting to the Witch Clan was far better than going to heaven.

In the past, whether it was Western religion ruling the Western land or Heaven ruling the Western land, the main purpose was to harvest faith.

The creatures living on the Western lands are merely tools for reaping faith; their living environment, while not exactly harsh, is hardly good either.

What about the liches? The liches don't need to harvest faith at all. After these beings choose to submit, they can't be bothered with them.

Given the rough and rugged nature of the Wu tribe, it would be difficult for them to create anything complicated, let alone establish any kind of oppressive rule.

Most importantly, the number of witches was small, so they naturally did not pose much of a threat to other living beings.

Therefore, many beings, after submitting to the witch clan, were pleasantly surprised to find that their lives did not get worse, but rather better.

The witch clan ignored them, and these creatures simply shut themselves away to live their own lives, enjoying complete freedom and happiness.

Seeing the treatment these creatures received after submitting to the Witch Clan, the other creatures could no longer remain seated and all chose to side with the Witch Clan.

In the eyes of countless creatures on the western land, the Wu tribe was no longer an invader, but clearly a hero who saved them from their suffering.

It was under these circumstances that Heaven's rule over the Western Lands collapsed instantly, never to return to its former glory.

In an instant, war broke out across the Western lands, the world turned against Heaven, and the outcome of Heaven's defeat was no longer in doubt.

It should be understood that since the two saints of the Western religion attained enlightenment, the Western land has been their territory, and this has remained unchanged for countless years.

But in a short period of time, the Western land changed hands, how could the Sage of Reception be willing to accept this?

To be honest, Heaven has been quite unlucky lately. Not only has the Sage Zhunti completely perished, but now it's even about to lose its territory.

Once Heaven loses its rule over the western lands, it loses the territory from which it harvests faith, and decline becomes inevitable.

At that time, Heaven will have lost even its own foundation. Let alone flourish, it will be questionable whether it can even exist.

However, what is strange is that Heaven has been suffering defeat after defeat during this period and has no ability to resist, but the Sage of Guidance has not made a move.

Even if Houtu, the ancestral witch, were present, even if she were only struggling in her death throes, the guiding saint should not have remained completely silent.

Perhaps the Sage who guided them had already realized he was no match for them and had completely resigned himself to his fate.
