Understanding Oneself, Nurturing Descendants

Deep within the Pangu Divine Hall, the air flowed silently, permeated by the presence of laws. Di Jiang was immersed in a deep level of cultivation, not only tempering his magical power and comprehending the Great Dao, but also engaging in a more profound fusion with the vast and boundless Pangu bloodline within him.

As the power of his bloodline was continuously stimulated and purified, a weighty will, originating from the very source of life, slowly awakened in Di Jiang's heart like a dormant volcano.

It wasn't a concrete memory, but rather an instinct deeply imprinted in the bloodline of the Ancestral Witches, an undeniable responsibility—protection.

To protect this Primordial World, formed from the entirety of their father Pangu's being!

This will was pure and powerful, silently washing over Di Jiang's consciousness, giving him an unprecedented sense of belonging and mission towards this world. Mountains and rivers, stars and sun, moon and sun, even every blade of grass and every tree, all felt like possessions he needed to watch over.

Memories from his past life and insights from his current one intertwined at this moment.

"So that's how it is!"

Di Jiang's heart became clear, and he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of complexity flashing within them!

"The Twelve Ancestral Witches of my past life, even without Primordial Spirits and disregarding the Heavenly Dao, acting seemingly reckless and domineering, only wanting to dominate the Primordial World, their most fundamental drive deep within their bloodline was likely to occupy and protect this world left by Pangu in their own way."

They might not have understood the workings of the Heavenly Dao, nor the entanglement of Karma, but they simply believed that only by controlling the Primordial World in the hands of the Witch Clan could they prevent it from being destroyed by outsiders and better preserve Pangu's legacy.

It was just a pity that their methods were wrong. The Witch-Demon War swept across the land, shattering the Primordial World and causing far more destruction than they intended to prevent, ultimately leading to the opposite of their desires.

"Domination and war only bring destruction."

Di Jiang shook his head, his gaze gradually becoming firm and clear. Regardless of whether Hongjun's shadow or the schemes of other Saints were behind that great calamity, the foundation they destroyed was the Primordial World left by Pangu! This was absolutely intolerable!"

He looked down at the vast Pangu Blood Pool below. According to the original trajectory, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would have mixed their Essence Blood with the energy of the blood pool to create countless Witch Clan citizens, forming the foundation for their conquest of the Primordial World.

But now, in this life, with him, Di Jiang, present, there was no need to create them in this manner anymore. Di Jiang quickly made a decision: he would no longer use his Essence Blood to create Witch Clan members on a large scale.

As for the six Innate Great Witches currently gestured in the blood pool, they were naturally conceived by the Pangu Blood Pool and were legitimate heirs. He would guide and nurture them.

But creating a race on a massive scale, getting involved in endless struggles for supremacy, and thus triggering a world-destroying calamity—he would absolutely not tread this path!

"This game of the Witch-Demon War, whether I win or lose, I'm not playing."

A transcendently amused smile curved Di Jiang's lips!

"What if I win? What if I lose? It's all our own stuff being smashed to pieces! Hongjun wants to merge with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao wants to perfect itself, play among yourselves, don't drag me into it, and don't even think about destroying the foundation of the Primordial World!"

Although he was a transmigrator, he knew deeply that in this Primordial World, the identity of Pangu's True Lineage was his greatest reliance and foundation.

Maintaining the integrity and prosperity of the Primordial World was, in a sense, maintaining the legitimacy and fortune of his own existence. This was completely consistent with his bloodline instincts and self-interest.

"My path is transcendence and protection, not destruction."

Di Jiang closed his eyes again, the Dao rhythm around him becoming even more profound and mysterious. "Continuously improving my own strength until I reach Primordial Golden Immortal, or even higher. With sufficient power, I can truly have the final say and protect Mount Buzhou, protect this world opened by Pangu, amidst any storm."

"As for those Spiritual Treasures and opportunities, they are merely tools to protect the Dao. The true Dao lies within oneself, in the responsibility towards this world."

Having understood this point, Di Jiang felt his Dao heart become even clearer, and his fusion with the Pangu bloodline became smoother. He no longer dwelled on the plot of his past life, nor was he in a hurry to participate in the disputes of the Primordial World.

He was now focused on staying within the safe zone of Mount Buzhou, silently accumulating strength, and waiting for the opportune moment. When he possessed sufficient strength, he would naturally have the qualifications to set the rules and protect everything he wished to protect.

Within the Pangu Divine Hall, the radiance of laws enveloped Di Jiang once more. This time, he had a clearer goal for his future path and a firmer Dao heart—to become stronger for the sake of protection.

Since he had decided not to tread the old path of madly increasing troops and conquering the Primordial World, Di Jiang turned his gaze to the six fluctuating Innate Great Witch blood embryos in the Pangu Blood Pool. These individuals were the true essence of the future Witch Clan, and they were among his few allies in the Primordial World whom he had to nurture well.

Di Jiang's divine sense meticulously scanned each blood embryo, analyzing the innate imprints of laws within them.

The blood embryos of Xiangliu and Kuafu had relatively pure and powerful auras. One contained vigorous life and entwining power, while the other carried the clarity of plants and the resilience of life, both embodying the single law of Wood. Though their paths were specialized, their potential was profound.

Xing Tian's blood embryo was the most unique, emitting not any specific elemental law, but a pure, ultimate battle intent! An unyielding, tenacious will to fight against heaven and earth coalesced into a unique law of battle.

This made his path completely different from other Ancestral Witches and Great Witches, more like a born war god created for battle.

Chi You's blood embryo was heavy and steady, exuding the aura of the earth. This shared origin with Ancestral Witch Houtu explained why he had the opportunity to inherit Houtu's Essence Blood. However, now that Di Jiang had absorbed all the origins of the Ancestral Witches, this path was naturally blocked.

Hou Yi's blood embryo appeared sharp and agile, possessing both the unpredictability of wind and the sharpness and penetration of Metal. The interweaving of these two laws explained why he could shoot so accurately in the future, never missing a target.

Finally, Di Jiang's gaze fell upon Jiu Feng's blood embryo. This blood embryo's aura was the most complex and profound, with nine different law Dao rhythms flowing and interweaving! The Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—were all present, along with the circulation of Yin and Yang energies and the surging power of wind and thunder!

"Nine laws, corresponding to the nine heads of the Nine-Phoenix True Body? The potential is indeed astonishing, but it's too mixed and not refined enough, placing too much of a burden on the body of a Great Witch."

Di Jiang frowned slightly. He had initially considered whether to use his abilities to help Jiu Feng shed some of the laws, allowing her to focus on one or two core ones.

But as Di Jiang carefully observed the operation of the nine laws, he discovered that the Yin and Yang energies acted as a pivot, skillfully harmonizing the Five Elements power, causing them to cycle and generate each other rather than conflict. The wind and thunder powers, while roaming externally like wings, did not excessively interfere with the core balance of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements.

"Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, are inherently two sides of the same coin, complementing each other. Wind and thunder might be their companions or external manifestations! Forcibly stripping them away might instead disrupt their innate Dao rhythm balance and cap her potential."

Di Jiang pondered for a moment and abandoned the idea. A mixed path had its own path; perhaps she could forge a unique path that integrated myriad laws.

However, to enhance the potential of all the Great Witches and help them gestate better, Di Jiang decided to give them a gift.

With a thought, Di Jiang forced out six drops of Essence Blood from his heart, each containing immense energy and the origin of laws. Each of these drops of Essence Blood was incredibly precious, enough to drive a Golden Immortal mad!

However, in the Primordial World, only Pangu's descendants could refine and use the Essence Blood of Ancestral Witches. Most cultivators could not withstand the explosive law power and unique bloodline within the Ancestral Witches' blood!

But Di Jiang did not directly bestow his Essence Blood upon the six Great Witches still gestating. Instead, using his profound understanding of laws, he performed customized processing on each drop of Essence Blood.

For Xiangliu and Kuafu, Di Jiang removed all law imprints from the Essence Blood except for the law of Wood, leaving only the purest Wood origin to help them solidify their foundations and achieve ultimate sublimation.

The same was done for Chi You, Hou Yi, and Jiu Feng, removing the law powers they had not mastered!

Di Jiang found himself in a difficult position regarding Xing Tian, as he lacked the "Law of Battle." Therefore, he simply removed all laws, leaving only the purest power of blood and qi. This greatly enhanced Xing Tian's physical potential, making the foundation of this future god of war even more unbreakable.

Six drops of carefully prepared Essence Blood, like six brilliant stars, were slowly integrated into their corresponding six blood fetuses under Di Jiang's control.

The blood pool immediately began to boil! The six blood fetuses erupted with unprecedented light and a powerful suction, madly absorbing the energy from the blood pool and the creation contained within the Essence Blood. Their auras grew stronger, purer, and more potent at a visible rate!

Great shamans like Xiangliu and Kuafu, who possessed single or dual laws, reaped immense benefits. Their origins were greatly replenished, and their future paths became clearer and broader. Although Xing Tian did not receive the blessing of laws, his physical foundation was made more robust than ever before. He reached a more harmonious balance, and the gestation process also became much smoother.

Sensing the satisfaction and vigorous life force emanating from within the blood fetuses, Di Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
