The Witch-Demon War shook the entire Primordial World and spread across every corner of it, leaving countless living beings dead.
Bloodshed filled heaven and earth. As the central players in this calamity, the Witch Tribe and Demon Tribe suffered devastating losses.
Countless demons fell, and countless witches perished. The entire Primordial World was plunged into an exceptionally oppressive atmosphere, even worse than the calamity of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes.
Under the calamity, the Witch and Demon Tribes had nearly lost more than half their forces. Of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, nine had fallen, leaving only Houtu and a portion of the Witch Tribe. The Demon Tribe's two Demon Emperors had fallen, more than half of the Ten Demon Gods had perished, and nine of the Ten Golden Crow princes were dead. Neither the Witch Tribe nor the Demon Tribe retained absolute control over the stage of the Primordial World.
Once the calamity passed, the Demon Tribe and Witch Tribe, its central figures, finally came to their senses and were consumed by regret. But no amount of regret could change anything.
From then on, the era in which demons ruled the heavens and witches ruled the earth came to a complete end.
The two tribes could only retreat into remote corners and quietly rebuild their strength.
Yet no matter how cautiously they developed, it was utterly impossible for them to regain their former glory and peak.
One day.
Patriarch Hongjun came to find Houtu.
The Witch Tribe's stronghold, once magnificent and grand, had now become a land of ruins. The stench of blood permeated heaven and earth. It had gathered from the powerful experts of both the Witch Tribe and Demon Tribe, mingling with the spiritual energy of the world. It would not dissipate anytime soon.
