Ideal, Remodeling the Primordial Era!

The eight directions are stormy, and the Ancestral Witches face hardship.

They too have their own difficulties, not living as freely as outsiders might imagine.

The Primordial Era is too vast; you never know what corner might hide a Great Divine Ability User... This is not a place for unchecked freedom.

Even powerful Ancestral Witches can only tread carefully, plan meticulously, and forge alliances with various top experts to carve out a path amidst encirclement.

Feng Xi fell silent.

His eyes flickered, and after a long pause, he suddenly spoke, "Actually, there isn't a simpler way to solve this problem... is there?"

"If the Ancestral Witches hadn't taken a firm stance, creating the Witch Clan to clash fiercely with the Demon Clan and disrupting the plans of many powerful figures; instead, if they had integrated into the mainstream voices of this era, with your strength, you could have certainly thrived and lived comfortably, right?"

All conflict is predicated on the opposition between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

So, what if—there were no Witch Clan?

With the Ancestral Witches' peerless divine abilities, as the top-tier Great Divine Ability Users in the Primordial Era, if they chose to join the Demon Clan... could the Demon Clan refuse?

They couldn't.

Upon entering, they would hold important positions. With the Twelve Ancestral Witches united, Di Jun and Tai Yi might find their own standing precarious.

As for the argument that the Ancestral Witches have a cultivation path different from the mainstream of the Primordial Era?

What does that matter!

In this era, some cultivate the immortal path, some the Buddhist path, some the demonic path, some the ghost path... the Primordial Era has thousands of cultivation paths; what's wrong with one more, the witch path?

All living beings, regardless of their path, care not for righteousness or evil, only for strength!

"Following the Demon Clan's path, the benefits gained might not be any less," Feng Xi said cautiously. "For what reason did the Ancestral Witches choose to stand with the Human Race, leading the Witch Clan to battle against heaven and earth?"

"They sacrificed much, endured great hardship, yet may not have ultimately achieved the greatest victory—the Five Heavenly Emperors control five Ancestral Witches, and Gong Gong was allegedly forced by Zhuanxu to collide with Buzhou Mountain..."

"If they had integrated into the Demon Clan, even if they couldn't overthrow Di Jun and Tai Yi, the gains might not have been inferior... and it would have been easier, without making enemies of the entire world."

"So, why did the Ancestral Witches take a liking to the Human Race, one of the myriad races of the Primordial Era, and decide to embark on the most difficult path?"

Feng Xi asked with trepidation, his hands clenched into fists.

He was once human, so he held a favorable impression of the Human Race, but what about the Ancestral Witches?

These supreme Great Divine Ability Users, born divine, had little connection to the Human Race—the Human Race hadn't even been born yet.

Yet, they willingly offered their support, risking the enmity of the world, to fight the vast Demon Clan faction for them!

Objectively analyzing the situation, setting aside personal biases and emotions, Feng Xi found much about the Ancestral Witches' actions that he couldn't understand.

Of course, asking this question was also a risk for Feng Xi.

He worried he might accidentally step on a landmine.

"Because of ideals."

Ancestral Witch Dijiang said calmly, "Because we are dissatisfied with the state of this era."

"Ah?" Feng Xi looked bewildered.

"The strong prey on the weak, strength determines status... this vast Primordial Era is nothing but a brutal competition."

"Ancestor God Pangu opened the heavens and earth, and in the end, sacrificed himself, transforming into all things in the world—what a great spirit!"

"Yet the world he left behind is filled with conflict, chaos, driven by ambition, desire, and other forces, resolving disputes through violence and endless warfare."

"Furthermore, when powerful beings clash, unintended ripples slaughter the surroundings, and those countless souls who die by accident... to whom can their despair and heartache be told? Who can listen?"

"We felt this was unacceptable."

"So, we decided to change this world."

"Ah??" Feng Xi looked utterly confused.

"We are pursuing a world like this, hoping for a race like this—" Dijiang spoke softly, "where every being possesses perfect character and wisdom, with noble and flawless spirits... a beautiful world, with upward-striving beings."

"..." Feng Xi could barely speak.

After a long moment of holding back, he finally managed to utter, "Does such a world exist? Does such a race exist?"

"Of course not," Ancestral Witch Dijiang smiled. "However, that doesn't matter."

"If it doesn't exist, we will create it!"

"To create a perfect and flawless race, bearing our spiritual aspirations... to lead them, to transform this world, and to shine with the most brilliant radiance of the Human Dao!"

"So, rather than saying we chose the Human Race, it's more accurate to say we chose the spirit that the Human Race embodies and carries."

Feng Xi was stunned into silence.

At this moment, he truly understood the breadth of vision and noble character of the Ancestral Witches, how dazzling it was!

Because of ideals, what does it matter if the whole world is against them?

Though thousands of miles and thousands of people, I will go!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had transcended base desires; their actions were not for power or profit, but to create a beautiful Primordial Era!

Even if this path required confronting Hongjun, confronting the Heavenly Dao, confronting the Demon Clan... they would not fear!

"Is it worth it?"

Feng Xi didn't speak, but his gaze towards Ancestral Witch Dijiang conveyed this question.

Dijiang chuckled, "Of course it's worth it."

"What ordinary people call seeking the Dao has already lost its meaning for us," he explained. "Because Grand Unity has reached the pinnacle of the Dao!"

"Grand Unity is the Great Dao!"

"If it is the Dao, why seek it?"

"Where the heart desires, that is where the Dao resides."

"To act on my heart, to act on my will... this is the cultivation of Grand Unity."

"If, one day, you reach our level, you will understand."

Dijiang patted Feng Xi's shoulder with a hint of expectation.

Feng Xi fell into deep thought.

"Alright, you don't need to think about all this now. Focus on what's in front of you first," Dijiang changed the subject. "You have Golden Immortal cultivation now, correct?"

"Yes," Feng Xi collected his thoughts and replied solemnly. "The rewards bestowed back then, and these years of applying to enter Lord Zhu Jiuyin's time realm for cultivation, I was fortunate enough to ascend to Golden Immortal cultivation not long ago."

"True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity, Grand Unity..." Dijiang mused slightly. "Although the level of Golden Immortal is still too low, at least it's not the absolute bottom tier."

"It barely qualifies you to venture out," he thought. "Here's what you do: go prepare. In a while, I'll take you out to see the world, to witness this vast Primordial Era."

"Huh?!" Feng Xi's eyes lit up brilliantly. "Thank you, Ancestral Witch!"

"But what will we be doing when we go out? What preparations do I need to make?"

"Diplomatic work," Dijiang said. "Although the Witch Clan's start wasn't ideal, we aren't without friends."

"Now that the internal development of the Witch Clan is on the right track, it's time to actively venture out and contact our allies!"
