Targeted and destined killing?

Li Ping’an suddenly turned to the Faceless One.

“Was the Ancestral Witch calculated to death by the Heavenly Dao?”

“No,” the Faceless One said, “At that time, the Heavenly Dao was not yet complete, subject to Emperor Jun’s control.

This was also a directive forcefully issued by Emperor Jun, and for this, he suffered the backlash of Heavenly Dao.

The only mistake Emperor Jun made was underestimating Suiren and the Human Race’s demon soldiers; otherwise, with the support of Heavenly Dao and the army of living beings, he would not have lost.”

Li Ping’an looked at the sixth painting again.

It was after the great battle, the severely wounded Hou Tu and Xuan Ming were collecting the corpses of the fallen Witch Clan members, slowly burying them.

Hou Tu said, “The Heavenly Emperor is dead…

But nearly everyone has fallen…”

“From now on, we must take good care of the Witch Clan,” Xuan Ming said with a smile, “Don’t worry, the Witch Clan will not weaken.

Now that we no longer have Emperor Jun above our heads, nor the Heavenly Court, it will only take a few Yuan meetings, and the Witch Clan will flourish again.”

Hou Tu sighed, “Our intermarriage with the Human Race is also a good thing.”

“What good thing?

Witches are witches, different from humans.

We are of the Pangu bloodline.

The strength of witches is variable, but the Witch Clan is inherently strong.

They’re incomparable to us.”

“They are all living beings,” Hou Tu said softly, “Each living being is actually a projection of the True Spirit from the Chaos Sea into the world, just to experience the vibrant colors of the world.

Witches are also part of the Witch Clan.”

“Alright, I can’t argue with you.

Go and heal your injuries first.”

“I’ve injured my Dao’s origin, and I don’t know when it will heal.”

The sixth painting dissipated, and the seventh came forth.

An argument broke out between Xuan Ming and Hou Tu.

A robust Witch Clan warrior knelt on the ground, holding a sharpening stone in his hands, bowing his head as he awaited the consent of the two Ancestral Witches.

He knew he would receive good news.

Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming had been dissatisfied with the Human Race for a long time.

Now among the Hundred Clans, rumors spread that the Human Race was the protagonist of Heaven and Earth and that the Hundred Clans were about to be enslaved by the Human Race’s Heavenly Court once again.

Now, the Hundred Clans had begun to conspire on how to raise an army against the next Sovereign of All Under Heaven during Shen Nong’s succession, to take the position of Sovereign of All Under Heaven out of the Human Race’s hands.

“Why can’t the Hundred Clans live in harmony once the war breaks out?

It’s a path of no return,” Hou Tu called out in a mournful voice, her hands pulling on Xuan Ming’s arm.

But Xuan Ming just turned his head away, murmuring:

“I’ve made up my mind.

The Human Race is reproducing too quickly.

If we don’t contain them now, there will be nowhere left for the Witch Clan.”

“But the Human Race has never waged war against the Witch Clan!

Don’t we have land for our expansion now?

The Ancient Heavenly Court that oppressed all living beings has been overthrown, a truth known to all under the Human Race!”

Hou Tu continued to persuade, her voice turning hoarse, but in the end, she couldn’t change Xuan Ming’s resolve.

The last image in the seventh painting was the somber figure of Hou Tu walking away.

So vulnerable, it looked like a solitary color in the world, like a flickering candle flame that could go out at any moment.

In the eighth painting, Chiyou was defeated, the Witch Clan and the remnants of the Hundred Clans retreated together to the Western Continent, Chiyou’s remnants led the Witch Clan into the Northern Continent as they were chased, and when they wanted to return to the north of the Western Continent, there was no place for them there anymore; the leader and disciples of the Western Sect appeared, attempting to subjugate the Witch Clan, but the Witch Clan chose death over submission and retreated back to the Land of the Northern Continent.

The ninth painting slowly floated over…

Li Ping’an sighed, his heart a bit heavy, knowing why Hou Tu had fallen into demonhood.

The Northern Continent was cold with much miasma; initially, one in ten Witch Clan and Witchfolk babies could survive.

Using the Great Dao of Earth, Hou Tu forcibly established a dwelling for the Witch Clan, allowing them to reproduce and rear children, where four in ten survived; and as the Witchfolk began to interbreed, a large number of mortals appeared.

When Witchfolk mated with Witchfolk, there was a very small chance of producing pure-blooded members of the Witch Tribe, a lower chance of producing Witchfolk, and a high chance of producing mortals.

The sixteen hundred million mortals within the settlements of the Northern Continent Witch Tribe came into being in this way.

And during these sixty to seventy thousand years, how many mortals were born?

Li Ping’an didn’t know; the Heavenly Dao could provide an accurate, vast number, and Hou Tu relied on her own Dao of Earth to maintain a living space for these mortals.

Over time, Hou Tu’s injuries gradually worsened, and a wisp of resentment from a wandering Black Tortoise crept into her Primordial Spirit.

However, after she fell into demonhood, her protection over the Witch Clan settlement did not diminish but instead deepened somewhat, as if out of sheer determination…

Inside the Cloud Boat cabin, Li Ping’an stopped narrating and looked at everyone.

“I will personally make contact with the Witch Clan in a little while.

“If this matter is well handled, the Heavenly Dao will try to bestow Heavenly Dao merits.

“However, this time it’s just an attempt, and for now, it’s uncertain whether it will be successfully conferred.”

The immortals all nodded their heads.

At the moment, they were not too interested in the merits of the Heavenly Dao.
