The battle in the Primordial Realm had come to an end with Hongjun's intervention.
The Thirteen Ancestral Witches and Di Jun and Tai Yi returned to the Prehistoric World, each gathering their Witch Clan or Demon Clan armies.
Both clans had suffered catastrophic losses in the battle. Their foundations had been badly shaken.
Both sides knew that if they kept fighting like this, both clans would be finished.
The Prehistoric World's situation also changed after Hongjun issued his decree.
"The demons rule Heaven, and the witches rule the Earth... It was decreed by the Dao Ancestor himself!"
"With that, the Prehistoric World's balance of power is settled."
Amid countless discussions, the Demon Clan began making intensive preparations to build the Heavenly Court.
The Thirty-three Heavens were officially renamed the "Heavenly Court."
The Witch Clan withdrew to Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain and began to reorganize the land, dividing it into territories.
They began a new round of clashes and consolidation with the surviving myriad races of the Prehistoric World, especially those who refused to submit to the Demon Court.
Demon Gods could often be seen patrolling the skies above Buzhou Mountain, starlight cascading down around them.
On the ground, the Witch Clan's tribal totem poles stood tall, their baleful aura reaching the heavens.
Heaven and Earth seemed to be separated by an invisible boundary, settling into a delicate balance.
Yet everyone with a clear eye knew that this balance was exceedingly fragile.
The Witch and Demon Clans were bound by deep blood-feuds, and their underlying grievances remained unresolved.
The so-called "demons rule Heaven, and witches rule the Earth" was merely a pause forced upon them by the Heavenly Dao.
When either side had amassed enough strength to shatter this fragile balance...
That would be the moment a world-destroying calamity descended.
