I Was Wrong, I Really Was Wrong
Using the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape to evolve new Ancestral Witches is simply common sense.
In fact, Xiang Dong's original intention was to have the Ancestral Witches and the Witch Clan farm.
Nuwa currently possesses five kinds of Spirit Plants, which were originally intended to prepare for the future of the Human Race. What if she were to use them for the Witch Clan?
Buzhou Mountain is the first mountain in the Primordial World. At its foot, let alone tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, even hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land could be cultivated.
Isn't it a waste to leave such a good piece of land uncultivated?
If ordinary Witch Clan do not possess Primordial Spirit and must absorb a certain amount of Spiritual Qi to maintain balanced development, then why can't they absorb it in this way?
If Spirit Plants, fruits, and Spirit Roots are unsuitable or do not meet the requirements, and blood food is necessary, then we should develop animal husbandry.
Plant Spirit Plants and fruits, then capture and raise some docile, reproducing, but unintelligent Demon Beast, ferocious beasts, and spiritual beasts. Develop a large-scale, self-sufficient supply chain, and that would be enough.
In Xiang Dong's vision, with spirit rice every day and farmed animal meat at every meal to improve their diet, the Witch Clan could be fed to the point of being greasy and full.
Self-reliance leads to abundance, and this is the rise of a civilization.
Xiang Dong's vision is feasible, and Taichu also acknowledges its possibility. If things really develop this way, a great war between the Lich and Demon races is very likely to break out.
However, there are two fundamental issues that need to be seriously discussed.
"If things really go as you imagine, with the Witch Clan vigorously developing agriculture and animal husbandry, achieving self-sufficiency and successfully avoiding conflict with the Demon Race, and even developing a civilization, then what about the Human Race?"
If the liches and demons never perish, how can Human Race rise to become the protagonist of the Primordial World?
This soul-searching question left Xiang Dong speechless. He couldn't answer it, nor could Taichu, so he didn't waste his brainpower on it and instead pondered another question.
"The Innate Spiritual Qi of the Primordial World is limited. Currently, the Innate Spiritual Qi is relatively abundant, but it is still insufficient to support most beings at the Sage level or the Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable level."
"Yangmei has saved a total of fifteen Chaos Demon Gods. Given their condition, they should be successively attaining the Chaos Great Unity Golden Immortal. If you allow them to cultivate in the Primordial World, the consumption of Spiritual Qi will undoubtedly be enormous."
"Afterwards, they will also need to carry out educational work. In addition, Hongjun will preach and pass on the Three Corpses Path to Enlightenment. A large number of Quasi-Saints and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals will also emerge. This will be another huge test for the consumption of Innate Spiritual Qi."
The Heavenly Dao suppressed the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods and restricted all living beings, increasing the difficulty of cultivation and breakthroughs. Its fundamental purpose was to reduce resource consumption, which is why the Heavenly Dao's suppression was able to be successfully implemented.
Given the current concentration of Innate Spiritual Qi in the Primordial World, it should only be able to support no more than ten Sages, or those at the level of Primordial Unity Heavenly Venerable.
Xiang Dong asked Yangmei to protect fifteen Chaos Demon Gods. Yangmei herself, plus Hongjun, and then the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Houtu, who are destined to become saints, must also be included, which would bring the total to more than twenty.
This would be too much of a burden for the Primordial World. If Spiritual Qi and resources couldn't keep up, battles would break out over the struggle for resources, and a Kalpa would eventually be unleashed.
There is a solution, as Pangu had already planned it.
The Witch Clan is responsible for clearing away the Innate Sha Qi, while the Three Pure Ones are responsible for introducing Innate Spiritual Qi. Once the Three Pure Ones become Sage of the Three Daos, they can lead all living beings to solve this energy problem.
With Three Daos running parallel, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things, allowing the Primordial World to continuously grow and flourish.
But right now, the Heavenly Dao is not yet complete, and the Earthly Dao has not yet awakened; neither has yet shown its true colors.
Xiang Dong pondered these difficult problems, then suddenly sighed and muttered to himself.
"I was wrong, I was so wrong. I shouldn't have tried to cause trouble for Hongjun in the first place, just to court death. If I hadn't caused trouble for Hongjun, I wouldn't have thought about purifying the Twelve Ancestral Witches; if I had purified the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Pangu's heart's blood and Jade Marrow wouldn't have enveloped me in the Blood Pool; if I hadn't been enveloped in the Blood Pool, the so-called thirteenth Ancestral Witches wouldn't have been born; if there hadn't been a thirteenth Ancestral Witches, I wouldn't have needed to worry about these troublesome things..."
"Alright, alright, this kind of problem can't be solved in a short time. Take your time thinking about it. I'll go back and teach them how to farm, but not Spirit Plants."
"So what do you plan to plant?"
Taichu reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds.
These are sunflower seeds of the Innate Spirit Root level. In addition to their rich innate qi, they also exude a vast and ancient aura, Xiang Dong recognized instantly.
"These are the melon seeds I used to offer as a sacrifice to my Father God."
"To be more precise, it's the handful of melon seeds that carry the Father God's will. They've carried it several times and have already been imbued with the Father God's aura. With this, the Twelve Ancestral Witches will obediently follow orders and care even more than I do."
Well, the first time it was an arrow, the second time an exclamation mark, and the third time it pointed to Penglai Immortal Island. It has indeed been imbued with a lot of aura three times in a row, so it's been marinated quite well.
For the Twelve Ancestral Witches, anything concerning their Father God was of utmost importance. With this handful of melon seeds in hand, let alone Sunflowers, they would absolutely not dare to touch a chicken, even if they were asked to steal a dog.
"I'm also a little curious about what they'll look like when they grow."
After saying that, Taichu flicked his finger, sending one of the sunflower seeds into the spiritual field.
There are only three innate Sunflowers left in this spirit field. If Xiang Dong leaves now, there will only be two left, so it is still necessary to replenish the number.
"Having been imbued with the Father God's aura, its status must already be quite high, and it might even develop some special abilities."
"Maybe, but you'll have to see it grow. You'll only know if you go in and try it yourself."
After saying that, Taichu stopped lingering and planned to go back and take the Twelve Ancestral Witches to start a leisurely, slow-paced life of farming.
However, Xiang Dong still harbored resentment about giving Nuwa something. He couldn't give her the Creation Green Lotus, so what should he give her?
Then he thought of the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Banana Tree.
"When you take the Twelve Ancestral Witches to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land, take the opportunity to wander around and find the Innate Gourd Vine and the Innate Banana Tree."
"Three of the seven gourds are connected to the Three Pure Ones, as is the Banana Leaf Fan. You want to use this to build a good relationship with the Three Pure Ones."
"If possible, I don't want to make things too awkward, so I'm having you scout out the location first. Once you find it, keep watch. If fortuitous opportunity allows, the Three Pure Ones will definitely come. As for whether we'll have a connection with them then, we'll see."
If this could help build a good relationship, Xiang Dong wouldn't mind sending some spiritual treasures; if not, he still wouldn't mind "building" a good relationship.
