Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

The two Westerners, on the other hand, reacted much calmer.

Jieyin's face was sallow, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he did not care about these movements.

Zhunti's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Senior brother," Zhunti transmitted his voice, "the Wu Clan has caused another big commotion."

Jieyin slowly opened his eyes, a hint of relief flashing in them:

"The divine system... is indeed exquisite. Mountains have mountain gods, land has land gods, water has water gods, and cities have city gods."

If this system is implemented, the order of the primordial world will be completely renewed. The Wu tribe is doing something of great benefit to heaven and earth.

Zhunti said, "Back then, when they repaired the western ley lines, I knew that the Wu tribe was no ordinary people."

Now it seems their vision is even grander than I imagined. But the others in Zixiao Palace probably don't think so.

Jieyin said calmly, "Everyone has their own destiny. The Witch Clan is a worthy karmic connection for us to make, and the West should cherish this connection."

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the cultivators who hadn't sat on the prayer mats were also discussing amongst themselves.

Shock, confusion, fear, and jealousy—a mix of emotions permeated the crowd.

The fact that the Wu tribe twice invoked the blessings of the Great Dao can no longer be explained by the "legacy of Pangu".

The Great Way is impartial and will not favor anyone simply because they are a descendant of Pangu.

The fact that the Wu Clan was recognized by the Great Dao twice can only mean one thing: the path they are on is the right one.

On the high platform, Hongjun observed everyone's reactions.

His face remained calm and undisturbed.

But his gaze was more profound than ever before.

He saw the burning passion in Di Jun's eyes, the curiosity in Tongtian's eyes, the contemplation in the eyes of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, and the varying degrees of shock in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones.

These people are all top-tier powerhouses in the primordial world, and each of them has the potential to reach the position of a saint.

Their attitude will determine the future trajectory of the prehistoric world.

The Witch Clan. Panxuan. A system of deities.

Hongjun silently recited these words in his heart.

He had to admit that the Wu tribe had made a brilliant move.

Repairing the western earth veins, filling the gaps in the Heavenly Dao, and establishing the divine system—these three steps are interconnected, each step taking advantage of a gap in the Heavenly Dao.

In particular, the establishment of the divine system directly created a complete set of rules and order within the framework of the Heavenly Way.

The Way of Heaven governs the operation of laws, while the Way of the Gods governs the order of mountains and rivers; the two complement each other rather than oppose each other.

This put Hongjun in a difficult position.

He cannot directly deny the divine system, because this system can indeed fill the gaps in the Heavenly Way;

However, he could not allow the divine system to grow and expand, because the core of this system was the witch clan, the twelve ancestral witches, and Pan Xuan.

The stronger the divine system becomes, the greater the authority of the Wu clan in the Heavenly Dao, and the more diluted his status as the Dao Ancestor will be in the primordial order.

He was merging with the Dao, while the Wu tribe was mending the sky.

Those who mend the heavens are, in a sense, also aligning themselves with the Dao, only they are following a different path.

From bottom to top, from mountains and rivers to the laws of nature, step by step, the primordial order was perfected.

If this path is successfully followed, the Wu Clan will no longer need him, the Dao Ancestor, to "complete the Heavenly Dao".

They can fix it themselves.

Hongjun cannot allow this to happen.

But he also knew that he could not personally take action against the witch clan.

The Wu tribe has the legacy of Pangu and the blessings of the Great Dao; they are descendants transformed from the essence and blood of the Father God.

To attack the Wu Clan would be to create karma with Pangu and with the Great Dao.

This karmic consequence is too heavy, so heavy that even a saint might not be able to bear it.

He needs a chess piece, or rather, he needs a group of chess pieces.

A group of pawns who can legitimately oppose the Witch Clan.

His gaze slowly swept across the Zixiao Palace, finally settling on two people.

Emperor Jun. Taiyi.

Born on the Sun Star, the innate deity, the three-legged golden crow, is born with the authority of the Sun's power.

These two are ambitious, capable, and have sufficient background.

They enjoy extremely high prestige among the demon race. With just a little support, they can unify the various demon tribes and establish a force that can rival the witch race.

More importantly, since the Wu tribe established a divine path, if the demon tribe wanted to contend with them, they would inevitably need to establish their own heavenly court and order.

The establishment of the Heavenly Court requires the support of sages.

We can provide them with support, no, more than just support.

He wanted to give them a wisp of primordial purple energy.

The Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for those who attain sainthood and the key to becoming a saint.

With the Primordial Purple Qi, Di Jun and Tai Yi would have the opportunity to challenge for the position of Sage.

At that time, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race and the Divine Path of the Witch Race will naturally become the two most powerful forces in the prehistoric world.

With the two forces clashing, he, as the Dao Ancestor, could remain high above the heavens and reap the benefits.

As for who should receive the Primordial Purple Qi, Hongjun has already made his decision.

Both Di Jun and Tai Yi were transformed from the Sun Star, but Di Jun had more imperial qualities and a greater capacity to rule the entire realm.

Although Taiyi is incredibly powerful and wields the Chaos Bell, his personality is too sharp, making him more suited to be a commander than an emperor.

The Primordial Purple Qi was given to Di Jun, giving him enough confidence to establish the Heavenly Court;

It also implies to him that Taiyi can also obtain a Dao.

But that depends on what the demon race's heavenly court can do.

In this way, Di Jun will devote all his efforts to developing the demon race and fighting against the witch race.

Because he knew that only by proving his own worth could he secure another wisp of primordial purple energy for his brothers.

Hongjun then thought of another chess piece, the Eastern King Duke.

The Eastern King Duke is formed from pure Yang energy.

If we could give him a title and let him unite the scattered cultivators of the prehistoric world, we could restrain the demon race and prevent it from becoming the only dominant force.

In order to fight against the witch clan, the demon race had to rely on the scattered cultivators under the control of the Eastern King.

In this way, the three parties checked and balanced each other, and the entire prehistoric world was firmly in the hands of him, the Dao Ancestor.

Hongjun mentally analyzed every detail of the game.

The Witch Clan is a formidable enemy and must be contained.

The demon race is a pawn for the future and needs to be supported. The Eastern King Duke is a counterweight to the demon race and needs to be given a legitimate status.

The three forces check and balance each other, and none of them can dominate. In the end, they all have to rely on him, the Dao Ancestor, to mediate.

This is the real game.

It's not about fighting and killing, but about finding a balance.

His gaze swept over the people in Zixiao Palace once again.

The cultivators were still whispering among themselves, discussing the various aspects of the Wu Clan's establishment of a divine path.

Unbeknownst to them, in that brief moment, the Dao Ancestor had already set the tone for the future of countless eras in the primordial world.

Hongjun slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining calm as still water, as if the profound scheme he had just concocted had never existed.

He will not do anything until the sermon is over.

Everything will be discussed after the sermon.

Hongjun spoke again, his voice calm and composed, no different from before:

"Today's sermon continues to expound the Way of the Sage. The Way of the Sage lies in uniting with the Way, in aligning oneself with the Way..."

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, the sound of the Great Dao resonated once more. The powerful beings all composed themselves and immersed themselves once more in enlightenment.

But this time, they couldn't be as focused as before.

Some people felt a growing curiosity about the divine way, some a growing concern for the future, and some a growing fear of the witch clan.

The atmosphere in Zixiao Palace has quietly changed.

Hongjun's voice remained calm, but in his heart, he was already planning a grand scheme.

The chessboard for this game is the entire primordial world.
