The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 4 The Superiority of Humans and Witches, Definition of the Human Race

The relationship between the human race and the witch race is a complete mess, incredibly complicated.

There are conflicts and cooperation among them... but if you really do the math, the Wu tribe has suffered quite a bit of losses.

The five Heavenly Emperors each governed one Ancestral Witch, but as for the rest, the Human Kings and Holy Emperors used the Witch Clan to rapidly increase their prestige.

The Yellow Emperor suppressed Chi You and Xing Tian.

Emperor Zhuanxu suppressed Gonggong.

Under Emperor Yao's command, Yi embarked on the path of shooting down the suns.

……

In a sense, the host-guest relationship between the human race and the witch race is quite intriguing.

Nowadays, the goddess Houtu has conscripted men across the entire timeline, creating a fighting force called the Witch Clan, which is actually a human race against the demon race... It seems that this is not surprising at all.

Feng Xi touched her chin, feeling that many of her doubts had been resolved.

"So, it seems the Witch Clan is essentially the army of the human race, the frontline force fighting against the demon race?"

"So, the human king can control the ancestral witches and command the great witches to serve him?"

"However, what about the great war between humans and shamans... and the Yellow Emperor's suppression of Xing Tian and Chi You? What about that?"

After a moment's thought, Feng Xi quickly deduced some conclusions. "I think I might understand."

The underlying theme of almost all wars between humans and witches is the same—the struggle for power!

The struggle for the throne of the King of Men!

It's like Chi You, it's like Gong Gong!

"These great shamans and ancestral shamans, relying on their status as leaders in the human race's wars, launched a... rebellion against the human royal court?"

"Using the prestige of a general and commander, to challenge the unified human royal court..."

"Ouch! This is a very serious problem!"

"It involves changes in the landscape and the evolution of humanity's path..."

Is the royal court commanding the witch tribe, or being commanded?

In the context of a war against the demon race, these issues can be temporarily ignored, with the ultimate goal being victory in the war.

However, once the world is unified, it is time for weapons to be stored away and horses to graze freely. This then becomes an unavoidable contradiction that must be resolved.

Have you not seen how many dynasties and states in human history had their founding emperors purging and killing their meritorious officials?

Thinking of all this, Feng Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Even I understand these principles... how could the Ancestral Witch not understand them?"

"Will they surrender without resistance? Will they willingly submit to suppression?"

"For the human race's holy kings and emperors to suppress the rebellion of the powerful witch race... just how strong would each of them need to be?"

This is a mythical world! A primordial world where immense power is concentrated in every individual!

Even if abandoned by their own people and hated by their own citizens, they can still forcefully set things right through their own strength.

Unless, of course, they are forcibly crushed by an even stronger and more terrifying opponent!

"It seems that every human king is shrouded in mystery!" Feng Xi sighed inwardly. "Either they have the support of an incomparably powerful being, or they themselves are reincarnations of supreme giants!"

"Only in this way can the ancestral witches be utterly defeated and rendered powerless."

This can be roughly inferred from the configuration of the five gods and their subordinates.

For example, Fuxi suppressed Jumang.

For example, the Yellow Emperor suppressed Houtu.

Zhuanxu alone intimidated Gonggong and Xuanming.

The five gods and five kings are the strongest!

"Moreover, simply having strength is not enough... because that would only exacerbate the problem."

"The ancestral witches, unwilling to be defeated, united as one, can drive the entire human race's war force to launch a counterattack."

"So... are there some highly respected ancestral witches who have defected?"

The deep, impenetrable fog exuded an immense terror.

Having deduced to this point, Feng Xi wisely composed herself and stopped.

He fears.

I'm afraid of uncovering some secrets that I shouldn't be exploring.

Many secrets are beyond the reach of those who lack the power and status to touch.

After all, the many murders in the prehistoric world often had this underlying reason—

Murder to silence them!

"Never mind..."

"What does this chaotic battle between humans and witches have to do with a short guy like me?"

"If the sky were to fall, it would hit the tall ones first."

"Besides, it's still the honeymoon period between the human and witch races. The two sides are joining forces to fight against the demon race... The ancestral witches are definitely clearer about priorities and matters of great importance than I am. They have their own plans in mind."

"I'll focus on becoming stronger and live long enough to witness the day when humanity fights amongst itself."

Feng Xi abandoned her worries about the human race and the future.

The kind of food you eat determines the kind of worries you have.

With great power comes great responsibility!

He was just a minor witch, receiving basic benefits from the ancestral witch Houtu. He should just do his job well and be done with it. Why bother worrying about anything else?

Do you get paid for overtime?

No way!

Therefore, for things that are not your concern, just close your eyes and pretend you didn't see them.

At most, one should listen attentively to the words of the ancestral shaman Houtu, and keep the core of the superior's speech in mind so that one can better handle some superficial work in the future.

……

"I know that those of you who were called up have some doubts in your hearts."

"Some people are thinking, what's the point of calling you in when things have already happened and are over?"

"And some people think that they've become all sorts of strange creatures, no longer resembling humans—some have seven or eight arms, some wield dragons and snakes, some have added bizarre body parts... Can you still be considered human?"

"etc!"

The Holy Earth God spoke in a loud voice, her expression passionate, "I understand the confusion and bewilderment in your hearts."

"Therefore, in order to answer your questions and to ensure the smooth progress of the war in the future, we are holding this propaganda lecture."

"I'll show you—why we fight, and how we should fight!"

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, forcefully slapped the table on the altar, waking up countless witches who had cultivated the supernatural power of sleeping with their eyes open.

"Regarding the struggle for humanity, regarding the struggle for the status of the protagonists of heaven and earth... do not view it through the lens of your past perspectives!"

"This is the greatest war ever waged, involving all the heavens and spanning endless time and space!"

"Past, present, and future... no sentient being can escape the choice of which side to take!"

"And the second one!"

"Are you even human?"

"Of course!"

The Divine Earth spoke softly, "If we judge whether someone is human solely based on their physical appearance..."

"Then why should we, the Ancestral Witches, participate in this war?"

"in turn."

"A pure human, if it betrays the interests of its race and colludes with the demon race..."

"Can such a race even be considered human?!"

"so!"

"Abandon your previous perspectives on things!"

"The concept of humanity here is not defined by physical appearance!"

"Whether someone is human or not is not determined by race or bloodline."

"It's about whether they agree with the most fundamental principles of humanity and are willing to dedicate themselves to those principles!"

P.S.: I've been working overtime lately, so I only have this much each day. It will be better starting from National Day.
