In a Wu People Giant City, eighty-one pregnant women carried infants with powerful Witch Clan bloodlines, including one with the potential to become an Ancestral Witch of Earth.

• Houtu discovered that the infants’ bloodlines had reverted to their origins in the womb and wondered whether the Human Race’s Fortune had caused the phenomenon.
