"Did you forget about those two Daoists from the West who wanted to snatch our seats?"
Hou Tu's concern was actually unnecessary.
Since Hongjun had already spoken, seating would be arranged according to the order of the first sermon.
Jieyin and Zhun Ti surely wouldn't dare disobey Hongjun's command!
Hou Tu only said this to get Xuanming to go to the Purple Cloud Palace with her.
As expected, Xuanming showed a slight reaction.
Xuanming looked up at Hou Tu, then at Hong Yun, seeing the anticipation in their eyes.
Finally, she nodded heavily!
"Alright!"
Dijiang also smiled with relief at this moment.
They themselves didn't want to go, but if any of the Ancestral Shamans were willing, all the Ancestral Shamans would be very supportive.
"Sister Hou Tu, if anyone bullies you, send us a message!"
"Even if it's the Purple Cloud Palace, we'll tear it down!"
Dijiang declared domineeringly, a hint of killing intent emanating from him.
Hong Yun knew that if something truly happened.
The Ancestral Shamans were capable of doing just that!
Hou Tu said helplessly:
"Brother, don't speak nonsense, the Purple Cloud Palace is the dojo of Saint Hongjun!"
Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, most had explosive and domineering personalities.
Only Hou Tu had a gentler disposition, serving as a balance among the Ancestral Shamans.
Therefore, even though Hou Tu was the youngest sister, they generally listened to whatever she said.
Hong Yun watched them communicate, brother and sisters.
His mind drifted to other matters.
Now that Dijiang had proposed developing the Witch Clan, the time for the Witch Clan to dominate the Primordial Era would also slowly be put on the agenda.
But the Witch-Demon Calamity, and Hou Tu's reincarnation… these events were like thorns, stuck in his heart.
Was there no way to avoid them?
Hong Yun asked himself.
After thinking about it, it was indeed difficult to change the overall trend of the Primordial Era.
It was also because Hong Yun's strength was insufficient!
If I had enough strength, wouldn't I be able to decide the world's workings according to my own will?
Hong Yun thought to himself.
Although he couldn't change anything now, he also wouldn't do nothing.
After another moment of thought, he said to Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin:
"Since everyone doesn't treat me as an outsider, I'll speak frankly!"
"In the Primordial Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Dao has already manifested. The prosperity of a race depends on whether it is useful to the Heaven and Earth!"
"If you all want to develop the Witch Clan, I think the first thing to consider is, what can the Witch Clan do for the Heaven and Earth?"
His words caused everyone to fall into contemplation.
Zhu Jiuyin narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
"Wear down the malevolent energy for the Primordial Heaven and Earth?"
Hong Yun shook his head.
"Wearing down malevolent energy is only temporary. As the Heavenly Dao perfects itself, purity and turbidity will gradually balance out."
"What if one day, there isn't enough malevolent energy for the Witch Clan to cultivate, and the Witch Clan is no longer needed?"
Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged glances, both falling into deep thought.
Hong Yun waited for a long time, until he saw the changes in their expressions.
Only then did he continue:
"I think that we, these innate beings, are born controlling the Power of Law!"
"For all beings in the Primordial Era, we are natural deities!"
"Shouldn't we use the Power of Law that we control to do something for the Heaven and Earth?"
"Doesn't Saint Hongjun also have to follow the Heavenly Dao, operate the rules, and educate the Primordial Era?"
After Hong Yun finished speaking, Dijiang's eyes immediately lit up.
He already had a vague idea!
If it weren't for Hong Yun's words, perhaps after an unknown amount of time, he would have thought of something after seeing other innate deities perform their duties.
But at this moment, Hong Yun's words had helped Dijiang break through this layer of window paper!
"I understand!"
Dijiang excitedly stood up from his seat and paced back and forth in the great hall.
His expression changed, shifting from joy to sorrow.
Clearly, he was undergoing a fierce storm of thought!
Zhen Yuan Zi watched Dijiang pace back and forth and couldn't help but lean over to Hong Yun's ear and quietly ask:
"What riddle are you two playing?"
Hong Yun smiled and said nothing.
What he and Dijiang were discussing was naturally the responsibilities of innate deities.
The Ancestral Shamans were born with control over the Power of Law, so they naturally had to operate the rules of the Primordial Era for its functioning.
Take the cycle of the four seasons, for example.
Currently, there are no seasons on the Primordial Era land.
The Wood Ancestral Shaman Ju Mang, the Fire Ancestral Shaman Zhurong, the Metal Ancestral Shaman Ru Shou, and the Ice Ancestral Shaman Xuanming could completely become the deities of the four seasons!
Spring gives birth, summer grows, autumn reaps, and winter stores.
In this way, the changes of the Heavenly Dao would be perfected!
Not only would there be merit, but more importantly, there would be responsibilities.
Only then could the Witch Clan's destiny grow stronger!
If the Ancestral Shamans could firmly grasp the authority in their hands, they might be able to avoid a calamity.
Take the three tribes of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, for example.
Why could they still preserve their destiny and continue to exist in the Primordial Era?
Wasn't it because the three tribes each promised the Heavenly Dao to forever guard the four seas, the volcano, and the central earth?
In this way, if they were useful to the Primordial Era, there would be a necessity for the race to survive!
At this time, most of the innate deities represented some kind of duty within the Heavenly Dao.
They controlled the Power of Law related to that aspect!
However, at this time, the world did not impose any constraints on the innate deities, so whether they rigorously fulfilled their fated duties was largely up to them!
It was precisely because of this that the later generation saw the acquired divine path, which used the rules of the Heavenly Court to restrain the gods!
Naturally, innate deities who did not perform well would be replaced.
This was something that Dijiang might have figured out himself later, or perhaps been inspired by seeing other innate deities act.
But now, with Hong Yun's timely guidance.
The Witch Clan could take a step forward first, and being one step ahead meant being ahead at every step.
After Dijiang paced back and forth a few times.
He finally settled on a general plan in his heart, stabilized his emotions, and said to everyone:
"Hong Yun, Little Brother, your enlightenment this time!"
"If our Witch Clan wants to develop in the Primordial Era, we must be beneficial to the world, and only then can we prosper for a long time!"
