• Several Ancestral Witches gathered in the Ancestral Witch Hall and silently considered the threat posed by the Human Race’s growing power.

The Ancestral Witches recognized that the Human Race’s rise was inevitable and debated how the Witch Race should respond. Di Jiang left them facing two risky options: ally with and use the Human Race against the Demon Race, or attack the Human Race before it grew stronger despite the protection of Saint Sanqi and the Heavenly Machine Tower.

• Di Jiang presented exterminating the Human Race as the alternative, but said Saint Sanqi and the Heavenly Machine Tower made the plan dangerous.
• Di Jiang warned that Houtu could no longer freely intervene and that the Witch Race could not use its Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Array, then fell silent with the other Ancestral Witches.

• The chapter revealed that Nine Phoenix, Chi You, Xing Tian, Kuafu, and Hou Yi were prepared as substitutes who could form an incomplete Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Array.

• Di Jiang chose to delay the Witch Race’s attack and ordered someone to contact the Human Race and assess its attitude.
• The Primordial World’s inhabitants reacted to the news of another Great Emperor inheritor appearing among the Human Race and feared their growing strength.

• Members of the Human Race escorted the imposing Great Witch into the Human Sacred Land.

A Great Witch visited the Human Race’s sacred ground to propose an alliance, but Suirenshi recognized the Witch Race’s offer as a scheme to make humans their vassals. The Great Witch’s increasingly arrogant demands left the Human Race Leaders unimpressed, and the negotiations remained unresolved.

• The Great Witch arrived at the Human Sacred Hall and was led to meet four Human Race Leaders, including Suirenshi.
• The Great Witch said the Witch Race wanted an alliance against the Monster Race and brought greetings from its Great Witches.

• The Great Witch offered intermarriage and insisted that cooperation was the Human Race’s only path, then grew more arrogant.
• Suirenshi recognized the offer as a pretext for exploiting human women and remained speechless at the Great Witch’s schemes.

Suirenshi agreed to ally the Human Race with the Witch Race, shocking the other Human Race Leaders and delighting the Witch envoy. He then named demands that would make the alliance costly, leaving the leaders amused by his shrewdness.

• Suirenshi announced that the Human Race would form an alliance with the Witch Race, prompting Ziyishi, Youchaoshi, and Yanzishi to suspect he had yielded.
• The Witch Race Great Witch praised Suirenshi and celebrated the prospect of gaining the Human Race as a powerful vassal.
• Suirenshi said the alliance depended on conditions and asked the Witch Race to kill Great Demons threatening humans and send troops to protect them.

• Youchaoshi, Ziyishi, and Yanzishi realized Suirenshi was being ruthless and chuckled at his demands.

• Suirenshi claimed the Human Race sincerely wanted an alliance and insisted that Witch troops and women were needed to protect and preserve it.
• The Great Witch prepared to respond but hesitated when Suirenshi looked at him with murderous intent and he remembered he was on Human Race territory.

Suirenshi rejected the Great Witch’s proposed alliance, accusing the Witch Race of trying to make the Human Race fight its enemies for them. The Great Witch left after the negotiations collapsed, while Suirenshi warned that the Human Race would eventually seek retribution.

• The Great Witch claimed the Witch Race only wanted to help the Human Race, but Suirenshi accused them of seeking to make humans their vassals and fight the Monster Race for them.
• Suirenshi rejected the offer of intermarriage and condemned the Witch Race for slaughtering humans over countless years.
• Suirenshi told the Great Witch to warn the Ancestral Witches that the Human Race would rise independently and someday settle its debts with them.
• Suirenshi ordered the Great Witch to leave, and Youchaoshi and Ziyishi also told him to get out.
• The Great Witch swallowed his anger and departed, wary of the Human Race’s four super inheritors and other powerful inheritors.

After the Human Race celebrated the Witch envoy’s departure, the Great Witch returned to Witch territory and distorted his account of the meeting to provoke retaliation.

• Ziyishi, Yanzishi, and Youchaoshi celebrated the Great Witch’s departure and mocked the Witch Race.

• Hou Yi noted that the Human Race might resent the Witch Race for past killings and could naturally refuse an alliance.
• Hou Yi told Kuafu to hold position, notify the Ancestral Witches, and monitor the Human Race and Demon Race.

The demon race attacked the Human Sacred Land under Ji Meng’s command, hoping to seize it before Saint Sanqi returned. As the Human Race prepared to defend their home, Yanzishi stepped forward to face the demons.

• Hou Yi predicted that the demon race would retaliate, and the Witch Race decided to watch and wait.
• Ji Meng led ten thousand Great Demons through the fog and into the Human Sacred Land, coveting it as his Dao Field.

• Ziyishi stepped forward, but Yanzishi stopped her and claimed the chance to fight the demons herself.
• Suirenshi and Youchaoshi exchanged wry smiles as they realized they had little role to play.
