Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

However, this situation is changing as the Heavenly Emperor's Law spreads among the human race.

Furthermore, the human race reproduces far faster than the witch race; in the time it takes for a witch to grow to adulthood, several human generations have already passed. Among this vast population, several geniuses are bound to emerge, and as time goes by, figures as powerful as the Great Emperor will inevitably be born.

Subsequently, Zhou Yi accompanied Hou Tu Zu Wu to her tribe, and after she finished handling some matters, the two set off again.

According to the Ancestral Witch Houtu, the establishment of the Land of Reincarnation is of great significance, and she needs to discuss this matter with the other Ancestral Witches.

Zhou Yi was very eager to see just how powerful the Twelve Ancestral Witches' physical bodies were, given their long-standing fame.

However, no matter how bold he was, he was too embarrassed to challenge the Ancestral Witch of the Earth to a direct duel. Led by the Ancestral Witch of the Earth, they soon arrived at the sacred site of the Witch Clan—the Pangu Temple.

Zhou Yi had only been in the Pangu Palace for a short time and had not yet had a chance to meet the elders of the Wu Clan when it seemed that his long-held wish was about to be fulfilled.

Two burly, muscular men stood before him, their faces contorted with rage.

Zhou Yi was not surprised by this, thinking to himself that this was the proper demeanor of the Wu Clan. The Elder Hou Tu, however, clearly did not belong to this category; he was more like an anomaly.

"Boy! Did you instigate Hou Tu's idea of ​​reincarnation?" one of the burly men roared angrily.

Zhou Yi remained outwardly calm, carefully observing the person who had just spoken. From the powerful aura emanating from this person, it wasn't hard to guess that he must be an elder of the Wu clan. This elder, clad in red armor and radiating a scorching aura, was undoubtedly Zhu Rong, one of the twelve elders.

"Speak up! If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, you'll regret it today!" another burly man roared. His imposing manner was comparable to Zhu Rong's, and he was naturally one of the elders of the Wu tribe.

This person was wearing black armor and surrounded by thick water vapor; he was clearly Gonggong, the one who, according to legend, knocked down Mount Buzhou.

Based on their conversation, it seems that Elder Houtu has decided to reincarnate, which is why he came to the Pangu Hall to discuss it with the other elders.

However, what puzzled Zhou Yi was why Hou Tu would conceal his true intentions and bring him into the Wu tribe.

As Zhou Yi predicted, the other elders were all simple-minded and physically strong characters who could not understand Elder Hou Tu's motives at all.

All the elders thought Elder Houtu had gone mad, but later they learned that she had brought the Book of Changes with her.

Therefore, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong believed that Zhou Yi had used some method to bewitch Elder Hou Tu, which led her to have such thoughts.

Thus, the current scene unfolded: the two elders came to settle scores with Zhou Yi in a menacing manner.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? I'd like to ask, is this how you treat your guests?" Zhou Yi said calmly.

Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, known for their volatile tempers among the Wu tribe, were instantly enraged upon hearing this. "Hahaha! Boy, you're the first to dare be so insolent in front of us. It seems we need to teach you a lesson before you even know what 'death' means!"

Elder Zhurong, enraged, laughed coldly, his fury overflowing. Powerful energy began to gather around him, preparing to attack. Elder Gonggong also said sternly, "Hmph, don't waste your breath on this brat. Daring to bewitch an elder, he deserves to die!"

"I'd also like to see just how powerful the elders' bodies are. Will you come one by one, or all at once?" Zhou Yi replied calmly.

Despite facing two powerful elders of the Witch Clan, Zhou Yi did not back down despite their aggressive demeanor. On the contrary, Zhou Yi's calmness and determination demonstrated that he was not afraid of their strength.

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

The ancestral witch Zhurong finally erupted in anger. He took a step forward, and his powerful energy instantly spread around him.

Zhou Yi showed no fear, secretly gathering the power of his sacred body, his face revealing an eager expression.

"Brother Zhurong, Brother Gonggong, what do you mean by this? Didn't I tell you long ago that this was my own choice?!"

Just as a fierce conflict was about to unfold, the voice of the Ancestral Witch Houtu came from afar, causing the Ancestral Witches Zhurong and Gonggong to immediately change their expressions.

They glared at Zhou Yi fiercely, then quickly put on a smiling face and turned to welcome the arrival of the Thick Earth Ancestral Witch.

"Hey, don't misunderstand, we didn't mean to hurt this young man, it's just..."

Zhu Rong, the ancestral witch, scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered, but inadvertently revealed his true thoughts.

"Sister Hou Tu, we were just having an exchange." Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch, was relatively calm and quickly came up with a reasonably acceptable reason.

"That's right! It's just an exchange, nothing more," Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, quickly chimed in.

Although the two ancestral witches, Zhurong and Gonggong, were known for their fiery tempers, their tempers seemed to be completely suppressed in front of the ancestral witch Houtu, and they were even like mice seeing a cat.

Although Zhou Yi was not aware of all the details, it was not difficult to see from the behavior of the two ancestral witches, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, that they were typical sister-obsessed individuals.

Hou Tu Zu Wu was well aware of her two older brothers' personalities, but she was too lazy to expose them.

"Fellow Daoist, my two elder brothers acted too rashly and startled you. I'm truly sorry!"

Hou Tu Zu Wu gave Zhu Rong and Gong Gong Zu Wu a reproachful look, then spoke to Zhou Yi with a hint of apology.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind! Just as the two Ancestral Witches said, we only intend to spar with each other. I also want to see just how strong the physical power of the Ancestral Witches really is, so as to verify my path of cultivation," Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

"Boy, are you serious? To prove that our Wu clan won't bully you, I'll fight you one-on-one right now. Do you dare accept the challenge?" Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch, immediately issued the challenge.

Clearly, Zhu Rong, the ancestral witch, had not lost his anger toward the Book of Changes, and probably wished he could teach him a lesson.

"A promise made is a promise kept!" Zhou Yi answered firmly without fear.

Hou Tu Zu Wu wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and did not stop him.

In the witch tribe, power is the supreme belief; as long as you are strong enough, your words will be respected.

Currently, all the ancestral witches believe that the Book of Changes has misled the ancestral witches of Houtu, and therefore they have a strong aversion to the Book of Changes.

If Hou Tu truly decides to dedicate himself to reincarnation, considering the nature of the Ancestral Witches, they are unlikely to let Zhou Yi off easily.

Nevertheless, if Zhou Yi, as the leader of mankind, were to cause a disaster for humanity because of this matter, it would certainly not be the outcome Hou Tu would want to see.

The battle with the Ancestral Witches might not be a bad thing. As long as Zhou Yi can prove his strength and gain their recognition, many problems can be solved.
