Dijiang's explanation once again shattered Feng Xi's worldview.

Listen to this!

Did a human say that!

The Dragon Ancestor alone, aiming to suppress all the Human Kings and Sage Emperors of the Human Race, including the most brilliant and outstanding Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors...

Dreams are good, you can have anything in dreams.

"Looking at it from any angle, the Dragon Ancestor has no hope, right?" Feng Xi's eyelids twitched. "If he had this ability, why would he still need to invest in the Human Race?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just go out and do it himself?"

"Heh." Dijiang chuckled noncommittally. "Little Feng Xi, don't think that just because you've seen a corner of the past's secrets, you can so easily define others."

"No matter what, the Dragon Ancestor is one of the highest achievers among the Innate Divine Beings, an extremely powerful Great Divine Ability User among the Grand Unity Emperors!"

"In any case, his talent and wisdom are not something you are qualified to question or deny at this moment," Dijiang said calmly. "Time is endless, the heavens are infinite... In countless timelines, who says the Dragon Ancestor cannot sweep across the world and reign supreme?"

"Recall your memories carefully," he looked at Feng Xi. "The universe you once belonged to was just one of the timelines evolved from the infinite possibilities of the Primordial Era."

Feng Xi was stunned.

He recalled seriously, and finally dug something up from the deepest part of his memory.

Suppressing the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, was there such a person?

Of course there was!

There was a supreme emperor who once unified the world!

He believed he "possessed the virtue of the Three Sovereigns" and "his achievements surpassed the Five Emperors," thus he created the term "Emperor" to refer to himself!

And this person, in later evaluations, had another special title – the Ancestral Dragon!

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Feng Xi's back.

He forced himself to calm down. "Lord Dijiang, this is a historical event, and that is an ancient mythological era. The relationship... isn't that big, right?"

"Much of your history is actually a distorted reflection of fragments from the primordial years," Dijiang glanced at him. "If that weren't the case, why would Houtu need to gather you all in the Primordial main realm?"

"It's because this is the core of all contradictions!"

"So, did the Dragon Ancestor really make a comeback? Is he in charge now?" Feng Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"There's a considerable possibility." Dijiang nodded. "He indeed has a chance of winning, and it's worth a gamble."

"Aren't the Ancestral Witches and Human Kings prepared? If the Dragon Ancestor succeeds, wouldn't that be..." Feng Xi, earning a little witch's salary, worried about the Human Kings.

However, when he saw the meaningful smiles on Dijiang's and the other Ancestral Witches' faces, his tense mood suddenly calmed down.

No need to panic!

With such cunning, no, resourceful Ancestral Witches around, what was there to worry about?

If the Dragon Ancestor was truly that formidable, capable of pushing aside the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors alone, why would the previous epoch have ended in regret?

Therefore, even if he could be fierce for a while, he would most likely still end up failing.

As his thoughts raced, Feng Xi thought of a very important piece of information.

The Qin Dynasty – fell in the second generation!

Who did it fall to? Who did it surrender to?

A certain being who called himself the Son of the Fire Emperor!

There was even a small story within this – the Son of the Fire Emperor killed the Son of the White Emperor before launching his earth-shattering campaign to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

This illustrated that the factional conflicts among the Five Heavenly Emperors were far from harmonious.

But regardless, the ultimate target was the Qin, which inherited the will of the Ancestral Dragon.

Ultimately leading to its demise in the second generation, its imperial ambitions turning to dust.

'Putting this in context, this is a blatant slap in the face!' Feng Xi's expression was very complicated at this moment. 'He claimed his achievements surpassed the Five Emperors and his greatness was unparalleled, only to have his foundation destroyed by the Son of the Fire Emperor.'

'The revenge came so fast, like a tornado...'

He silently shed a tear of sympathy for the Dragon Ancestor.

At the same time, he gained a clearer understanding and realization of the ruthlessness and decisiveness of those Human Kings and Sage Emperors.

As expected of the supreme beings who could each suppress an Ancestral Witch, they were truly terrifying!

Since he understood that the leaders of the Human Race had everything under control and were playing a grand strategy, Feng Xi no longer worried about the Dragon Ancestor's issue.

He silently changed the subject, moving to a matter of great concern.

"Regarding the Witch-Demon War, I have a small confusion..." he tentatively asked. "Our Witch Clan has already assembled its troops and is preparing for battle; on the other hand, the Demon Clan is still a scattered mess."

"Various factions stand on the Primordial land, lacking a truly cohesive core. So why don't we take the initiative and launch a lightning strike?"

"Kill some enemies who will inevitably become future major threats, and gain an absolute advantage in the decisive battle?"

"It's not that we are unwilling, but that we are unable," Ancestral Witch Dijiang sighed. "Our Witch Clan cannot be the first to attack."

He looked at Feng Xi, who was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and pondered for a moment, "The principles behind this must be traced back to the origin of the world and all living beings—Pangu."

"Pangu transformed into heaven and earth, heaven and earth evolved essence, and essence gave birth to all spirits."

"Strictly speaking, everything or every living being that exists in the Primordial Era universe is directly related to Pangu."

"Even if you exaggerate and call them all descendants of Pangu, it wouldn't be wrong!"

"This applies to Innate Divine Beings as well as ordinary creatures."

"Then our Witch Clan..." Feng Xi was stunned—what happened to the Witch Clan being Pangu's true successors? How did it become so widespread overnight?

"Unlike others, we had to rely on ourselves. We Ancestral Witches have Pangu's will, personally written and addressed to each of us, so we inherited a portion of the world's authority." Dijiang shrugged, "But in terms of personal standing, there's no real difference in hierarchy compared to others."

"On the contrary, as direct descendants and heirs, we must display the proper demeanor... How can we resort to fighting and killing at the slightest provocation?"

"Tyrannical rulers are destined to be overthrown!"

"But if that's the case, don't we have the legitimacy and righteousness on our side?" Feng Xi's eyes lit up. "We can wield Pangu's might to command all races, who would dare disobey?"

"It's a matter of shares." Dijiang shook his head. "Although we Ancestral Witches inherited a portion of the Primordial Era's shares, unfortunately... times have changed."

"Too many Innate Divine Beings who relied on themselves have purchased equity in the world after their rise, severely diluting our portion."

"Even though we are still the largest shareholders, compared to the whole, we don't even hold ten percent."

"In this situation, how can we be the first to attack? I fear that if the gods feel threatened, they will join forces to eliminate us, the source of the chaos."

"Moreover, at the first Grand Unity gathering in Zixiao Palace, a world-shattering event occurred, leaving us powerless even if we had the will." Dijiang said, "Hongjun made his stance clear. He wants to ascend to the highest position of dominion over heaven and earth and covets Pangu's status..."

"We, who inherited a portion of Pangu's legacy, naturally became thorns in his side."
