Di Jiang's earthshaking cry of "Ceasefire," carrying the resolve and weight of the foremost Ancestral Witch, shook even the space within the hall until it hummed.
At that moment, the taut string in Houtu's heart finally slackened with a sharp twang.
An indescribable weariness and faint relief surged through her, nearly making her sway.
It worked!
This incomparably difficult first step had finally been taken!
She had gambled correctly on her Elder Brothers' reverence for Father God and on the bottom line of their race's survival.
This was not merely a turning point in the war between the Witch Race and the Demon Race—it was also the foundation for whether she could accomplish that earthshaking undertaking.
She had to prove to Lu Jun, who was suspected of walking the path of One Attainment, Eternal Attainment, that the Witch Race were not irredeemable brutes. They were worthy of trust, and capable of changing!
Only then could she obtain from him the crucial guidance and support concerning the future of the Prehistoric World, concerning the grand vision in her heart—perfecting Reincarnation.
"Big Brother is wise!" Houtu's voice carried a trace of barely perceptible hoarseness, but even more determination.
"Since we have decided upon a ceasefire, the most urgent matter is to immediately recall every Witch Race warrior who has gone to war!"
No further words were needed. The final trace of hesitation in Di Jiang's eyes vanished completely.
He stomped his foot, and the Law of Space around him surged violently.
An invisible, vast signal condensed from the will of the foremost Ancestral Witch spread across the entire land of the Prehistoric World like ripples on water, Piercing through space and reaching the depths of every Witch Race bloodline:
CEASEFIRE!
ALL WITCH RACE MEMBERS!
DISENGAGE FROM THE BATTLEFIELD AT ONCE!
