Chapter 52: The Witch Clan Arrives to Reinforce, the Demon Clan Retreats
When the human race was slaughtered by the demon race, a fierce debate broke out within the witch clan about whether to rescue them. In the end, Houtu, who was temporarily in charge of the witch clan, made the decision on her own, stating the importance of the human race to the witch clan and deciding to go to their aid.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches led tens of millions of witches to the shores of the East Sea. By this time, the human tribes were already littered with corpses and rivers of blood. Above the human realm, Taiyi used the Eastern Emperor Bell to continuously absorb the essence of the human race. In just over a decade, he had accumulated nearly a billion human essences. With these billion human essences, Taiyi was confident that he could forge a divine weapon powerful enough to break through the physical bodies of the Ancestral Witches. Logically, the demon race should have stopped at this point. However, this amount of essence was only enough to forge one divine weapon that could break through the physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Taiyi hoped to equip every demon with a divine weapon, which would require even more human essences. Therefore, Taiyi did not intend to stop.
A few years later, only one-tenth of the billions of humans remained. Even the three thousand innate humans had suffered more than 80% casualties. The human witches, the strongest fighting force of the human race, were almost wiped out. Just when the human race was about to be exterminated, the twelve ancestral witches led the witch clan to the scene.
The great witches of the witch clan directly confronted the ten demon saints, while the twelve ancestral witches surrounded Taiyi. The three ancestors of the human race, who were covered in wounds, were filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy when they saw the witch clan arrive. They were sad because tens of thousands of years of human accumulation had ultimately vanished, but they were happy because the witch clan was there, and the human race would not be wiped out.
"Twelve Ancestral Witches, this is a matter between my demon race and the human race. What does it have to do with you?" Taiyi said, frowning.
Houtu said, "Taiyi, our Wu Clan, the Xuan Chu Wu Clan, had an agreement with the Xuanmen Dao Ancestor Hongjun: the Wu Clan would rule the land, and the Demon Clan would rule the heavens. You have broken this agreement and led the Demon Clan to the Primordial World in secret. This is undoubtedly a provocation against our Wu Clan. The Human Clan and our Wu Clan have had a friendship for tens of thousands of years. The affairs of the Human Clan are the affairs of our Wu Clan. No matter what, our Wu Clan will not allow you to succeed today!"
"Houtu, do you really have to oppose me?" Hearing Houtu's words, Taiyi's expression was very ugly. This Houtu really had nothing better to do. What did the human race have to do with her? Why did she insist on protecting the human race?
"Taiyi, it's not that I want to oppose you, but your demon race has committed too many killings," Houtu said.
"Too much killing? Hahaha, how ridiculous it is for you witch clan to say such words! In terms of excessive killing, how can my demon clan compare to your witch clan? Since your witch clan was born, you have slaughtered countless lives of my demon clan. And today you say that my demon clan has killed too many people. Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Taiyi sneered.
"Taiyi, no matter what you say, today you either retreat to the Thirty-Three Heavens on your own initiative, or we'll fight. In short, we, the Witch Clan, will protect the human race!" Houtu didn't want to waste any more words with Taiyi and directly issued an ultimatum: either Taiyi leads the demon race back to the Thirty-Three Heavens, or we'll fight.
"Let's fight then..." Taiyi wasn't one to back down from trouble. Just as he was about to give the order to attack, he received a telepathic message from Dijun, instructing him to retreat to the Thirty-Third Heaven. Taiyi glanced at the Twelve Ancestral Witches with a complex expression, then said in a low voice, "Demon race, heed my command! Return to the Thirty-Third Heaven with me!"
"Yes!" Taiyi gave the order, and the demon army slowly retreated.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches watched the demon race retreat without making a move. Perhaps this was the best outcome, as it saved the human race while avoiding a major conflict with the demon race. Xuan Chu had not yet returned, so it was best to avoid fighting if possible.
With the demon race retreating, the surviving humans cheered with joy. The three human ancestors, despite their severe injuries, approached the twelve ancestral witches and bowed deeply, saying, "The human race thanks the witch race for saving our lives. We are eternally grateful for the witch race's great kindness and virtue!"
Houtu helped the three ancestors of the human race to their feet and said, "You are exaggerating. The primordial land has always been protected by my Wu clan. Moreover, over the years, the human and Wu clans have forged a deep bond. No matter what the reason, my Wu clan cannot stand idly by while the demon race slaughters the human race. It is just a pity that my Wu clan received the news too late, so we were unable to save more humans." As she said this, Houtu looked at her with a sorrowful expression.
"There's no need for Houtu, the Ancestral Witch. Perhaps this is the calamity of our human race. One day, our human race will personally avenge this blood feud," Suiren said.
"Alright, now that this matter is settled, we shouldn't linger any longer. The human race has suffered such a great calamity, there must still be many things to deal with. We'll return to Buzhou Mountain now and bid you farewell," Houtu said. Since their goal had been achieved, there was no need for the Wu tribe to stay any longer.
"Thank you, Witch Clan. Please take your time!" said the three ancestors of the Human Race.
After the Witch Clan left, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race led the remaining hundreds of Innate Humans to visit various human tribes. Seeing the grieving people who had lost their families, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race were filled with sorrow. What had the Human Race done wrong? Why had they suffered such a calamity?
Upon seeing the three ancestors of the human race, all the humans came to their side, their expressions filled with grief. Suiren comforted them, saying, "Fellow humankind, the calamity has passed. I hope you can overcome your sorrow. The future of the human race still depends on everyone's joint efforts."
"Fire Ancestor, the demon race has slaughtered our human race without cause. This is an irreconcilable enmity. Our human race cannot let this go." A human cultivator said angrily. In this great calamity, he lost all his relatives and friends.
"Indeed!" Suiren nodded and said, "Since our birth, our human race has been law-abiding and has never caused trouble for other races. However, the demon race is wicked and has slaughtered our human race without cause, causing countless members of our race to die tragically at the hands of the demon race. This hatred is irreconcilable. Today, in the name of our ancestor, I swear to the heavens that from this day forward, humans and demons will be irreconcilable enemies. Whenever my human race encounters a demon, I will kill it. Generation after generation, I will never forget this!"
After this calamity, the human race can no longer coexist with the demon race. The best and only choice for the human race is for the human race to be irreconcilable with the demon race. Only in this way can the human race remember the hatred of today for generations to come and strive for self-improvement!
"Humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies, generation after generation, never to be forgotten!"
"Boom!" As the human race made their vow, the Heavenly Dao responded immediately. At the same time, it was as if a shackle appeared on both the human and demon races, linking the two races together. This was the causal line between the human and demon races. From then on, the human and demon races embarked on a path of complete opposition. From this day forward, humans would kill demons and demons would devour humans, their lives intertwined in endless cycles of life and death.
On the thirty-third heaven, Di Jun suddenly felt the golden dragon of the demon race's fortune fluctuate, but it quickly returned to normal. Then, he heard the oath of the human race and said with great disdain, "Ants like you dare to fight against my demon race. You are courting death. If it weren't for the sake of Goddess Nuwa and Saint Taiqing, I would have destroyed you long ago."
"Brother, this time we collected billions of human essences. In addition to being able to forge a divine weapon that can break through the physical bodies of the twelve Ancestral Witches, we can also forge dozens of divine weapons that can break through the physical bodies of the Great Witches of the Witch Clan. It's a pity that if we could have wiped out the entire human race, I believe we would have forged even more divine weapons." Taiyi said with a regretful expression.
"Alright, second brother, too much of a good thing can be bad. I promised Goddess Nuwa and Sage Taiqing that I wouldn't really exterminate the human race. This is good enough. If we go too far, even if Goddess Nuwa won't do anything to us, Sage Taiqing won't let us off the hook. It's not worth offending a Sage of the Heavenly Dao for a few human souls." Di Jun didn't feel sorry. The most important people in the Wu Clan were the Twelve Ancestral Witches. As long as the Twelve Ancestral Witches could be killed, the rest of the Wu Clan would be no threat.
"Taiyi understands!" Taiyi nodded and said.
