Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 65 Desiring to create a divine personality to replace the divine soul, worshipping Pangu, the old body of the ancestral witch, and bearing the faith.

Emperor Qing founded the Kunlun Immortal Clan and subdued the five clans. Naturally, he was very clear about the systems and arrangements of each clan.

With the addition of memories from later generations and slight modifications, the entire witch clan system could be perfected.

The thirteen halls were divided, encompassing all the ancestral witches. Each was assigned a specific duty, which, aside from necessary cultivation, was sufficient to control the entire witch clan.

Di Qing, the clan leader, is in charge of the last of the thirteen halls—the Ancestral Witch Hall.

"The Ancestral Witch Hall is also one of the thirteen halls, and I, as the clan leader, will be in charge of it. The Ancestral Witch Hall will oversee the other twelve halls and manage all matters of the Witch Clan." After giving the order, Di Qing's sharp and majestic gaze once again swept over the many clansmen.

At that moment, the many witch clans looked at each other, knowing that their clan leaders were serious this time and were truly angry.

They shouted one by one, "We will obey the clan chief's command."

"Yes. I hope you will all do better and better in the future. Only when you are doing well will our Witch Clan be better. Alright, step down..." Di Qing said coldly, then looked at the other Ancestral Witches.

The numerous ancestral witches exchanged glances, naturally understanding Di Qing's meaning: "Since the clan leader has made all the arrangements, then it is up to us ancestral witches to meticulously divide the clan members."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. Find suitable clansmen to join different temples." Di Qing trusted them completely and entrusted them with the detailed division of responsibilities.

Zhu Jiuyin and the others nodded, naturally knowing what to do next.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.

Following Emperor Qing's reforms, the Wu tribe was divided into thirteen palaces, and the entire Wu tribe's atmosphere was completely changed.

Among them, the War Hall, one of the thirteen halls of the Wu Clan, recruited one-third of the clan members. Then, they led the clan members out of Buzhou Land, allowing them to experience trials and battles, to feel the cruelty of the primordial world, and gradually change their former laxity into true powerhouses.

Especially through numerous battles and training sessions, many lesser witches gathered together, forming a large army of witches. They were always ready to obey orders and rush to the battlefield at any time.

Although the primordial world today has few enemies and little chaos, many ferocious beasts and savage creatures still remain in the area of ​​the far northern glaciers. These are all targets for the witch tribe to hunt.

Furthermore, every billion years, the members of the Witch Clan who join the War Temple undergo a rotation. Through several rotations, all the Witch Clan members are tempered by war and slaughter, becoming more resilient. Although this process results in casualties, these casualties are worthwhile compared to the overall strength of the Witch Clan.

Aside from the War Hall, the other halls are also developing well. The Punishment Hall, overseen by Zhu Jiuyin, even includes the Kunlun Immortal Clan and the five other clans. It is gradually moving towards integrating the various clans and the Witch Clan into a unified whole.

The Weapon Hall, the Hall of Bestowal... are all constantly operating, causing a qualitative change in the overall strength of the Witch Clan.

During this process, Di Qing also created many wondrous techniques, which were then transmitted to various temples. These became the exclusive supernatural powers and wondrous methods of these temples, and also became common killing techniques used by the Wu tribe.

For example, the killing technique "Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening" created by Di Qing for the Battle Hall is a killing technique refined from comprehending the Three Treasures of Heaven-Opening and condensing the Qi of the Divine Axe. This technique can be transformed into fist techniques, sword techniques...

For example, the Nine Revolutions of Weaponry, created for the Weaponry Hall, are specifically designed to complement weapon crafting and combat.

All of these things completely changed the entire witch clan.

Now, Di Qing has arrived at the Faith Temple, one of the thirteen temples of the Witch Clan.

The Temple of Faith is the most peaceful of the thirteen temples, the one with the least power, and one that does not involve killing or fighting.

The core of the temple of faith is responsible for the worship and faith of the shaman tribe.

Today, at the very heart of the temple complex is the shrine of Pangu, the Father God. Surrounding Pangu are statues of the ancestral witches.

Houtu, who was in charge of the Temple of Faith, looked slightly annoyed: "Diqing, why did you put me in charge of the Temple of Faith? All day long, I have my people come to worship and offer their faith; it's so boring."

Hearing Houtu's complaints, Di Qing smiled gently and said, "Houtu, don't underestimate the Temple of Faith. This Temple of Faith is the most crucial of the thirteen temples of our Wu Clan. Because the faith gathered here might just be our Wu Clan's final trump card!"

"A killing move? Di Qing, do you mean to recreate the resurrection of the White Tiger Ancestor? To resurrect the Father God with the faith of the clan?" Hou Tu naturally knew what methods Di Qing used to resurrect the White Tiger Ancestor back then.

"Difficult, difficult..." Di Qing shook his head repeatedly. Although he had also considered this idea, he knew it was impossible: "It is impossible to revive the Father God Pangu through faith. At most, one can use faith to gather the scattered will or remnants of the Father God throughout the prehistoric world. However, being able to gather the Father God's will and remnants is enough to evolve into a trump card."

"Moreover, this place not only embodies the faith of the Father God, but also the faith of us ancestral witches."

"Speaking of which, I find this even more puzzling," Houtu said, pointing to her own statue with a hint of helplessness. "If it were just about using our own statues to gather the faith of our people, that would be one thing. Why insist on using our old bodies to collect this faith?"

Indeed, this place houses the statues of the Ancestral Witches. Apart from the statue of Emperor Qing, which was crafted using divine materials, the other statues of the Ancestral Witches are all second, original forms created by the Ancestral Witches.

Their old bodies are placed here to carry endless faith.

Such behavior was difficult for Houtu to understand, as were Dijiang and the others. However, their unconditional trust in Diqing led them to bring out their old bodies and place them here.

Di Qing gently stroked Hou Tu's hair, as if to comfort her: "Because I want to try whether I can use faith to unite the soul of the Wu tribe, whether I can use faith to replace the soul of the Wu tribe, and whether I can use faith to create a path to replace the soul."

Di Qing had a great interest in faith. His memories from his later life included many Western fantasy novels with the concept of becoming a god through faith. What did it mean to become a god through faith, to solidify a divine personality through faith, to enhance cultivation through faith…?

Such settings and concepts would be nothing short of a joke in a world without a cultivation system. However, in the primordial world, these settings and concepts have the potential to become reality.

When Emperor Qing resurrected the White Tiger Ancestor through faith, it could be considered an experiment. Furthermore, spreading the teachings of faith to the people of the West was an even greater practice.

Once Di Qing fully comprehends the changes in faith, he will be able to use his own wisdom, combined with the faith concepts of later generations, to create a system that embodies divinity.

A divine system is used to replace the divine soul.

After all, all the cultivation systems in the primordial world today must involve the cultivation of the soul and the primordial spirit. But what if one doesn't cultivate the primordial spirit?

Does one have to cultivate their primordial spirit to achieve the Great Dao? Is one necessarily limited? Is there no system that can replace the divine soul?

Now, this is exactly what Di Qing wants to do: create a system that can replace the primordial spirit. This will give all living beings in the primordial world an additional path of cultivation. They will no longer need to cultivate their divine soul and primordial spirit, but rather cultivate another form of existence.

The divine system is precisely this existence. Of course, how divine entities are constructed, formed, and condensed, and whether they can replace the divine soul, still requires Di Qing to slowly comprehend and evolve.

Therefore, when Emperor Qing divided the Wu tribe into thirteen halls, he specially created this temple of faith, so that countless tribesmen could worship it and provide sufficient faith.

Once Emperor Qing creates the divine system, the Ancestral Witches will be able to cultivate using it.

Even if a divine system cannot be created, the Pangu Father God, who can gather endless faith, can still rely on faith to condense a true form of the Pangu Father God, or use faith to condense the lingering will of the Father God. That would not be a loss.

Houtu listened to all this and understood Di Qing's plan. She nodded helplessly, "Alright, since you've already said so..."

"I've already said that. Then I'll take good care of managing the temple of faith."

Di Qing laughed: "Actually, you're lucky. Ju Mang is the worst off; now that he's in charge of the Temple of Procreation, things are even worse..."

"Hehe..." Houtu couldn't help but smile when Jumang was mentioned. Back when Di Qing created the Thirteen Temples of the Witch Clan, he specifically created a Temple of Procreation to be responsible for the propagation of the Witch Clan. Then he put Jumang in charge of it.

After all, Jumang is the ancestral witch of wood, who uses the way of wood to evolve life and creation, which is related to reproduction. But it's awkward to think that Jumang, a male ancestral witch, is in charge of reproduction.

Jumang was helpless about this, but since Diqing had already spoken, he could only reluctantly accept it.

Di Qing was talking about Ju Mang when Ju Mang suddenly appeared.

Ju Mang arrived at the temple of faith, his face bitter, as if he were seeking out Di Qing to lament: "Di Qing, I'm at my wit's end. The problem of the Wu clan's reproduction is truly... truly... alas..."

Jumang sighed, his expression a mixture of complex emotions and helplessness. He had felt somewhat awkward ever since Di Qing assigned him to oversee the Wu Clan's Propagation Temple. He was also subsequently responsible for arranging marriages among his clansmen.

Although the overall number of the witch clan is not large, there are quite a few witches among them. However, the ratio is one in ten thousand, and due to intermarriage within the clan, they cannot reproduce.

Left with no other option, Jumang sought help from other races. He looked for female cultivators from the Kunlun Immortal Clan and the Five Clans to handle the propagation. Unfortunately, this also yielded no results.

Looking at the bitter-faced Jumang, Di Qing asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the reproduction of the Witch Clan?"
