Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded a Saint Position for a Wife at the Start

"So from here on, we need to shoulder the Divine Path duties of our own innate godhood and take part in the workings of Heaven and Earth's laws!"

As soon as Dijiang said this, the other Ancestral Shamans understood.

The Ancestral Shamans weren't stupid.

There were few among those chosen by Heaven and Earth's fortune to become Innate Gods who lacked intelligence.

It was just that the Turbid Qi affected them, making them disinclined to scheme or use their brains!

Once Dijiang explained it, the key point became clear.

"Become innate gods!"

However, Dijiang only had a rough idea for now. The Ancestral Shamans would have to work out the specifics themselves.

Zhu Jiuyin nodded, then turned to Hong Yun and said with a smile:

"Little Brother Hong Yun, you've helped us out again this time!"

"Our Witch Clan truly doesn't know how to thank you!"

As he spoke, the many Ancestral Shamans, led by Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, all bowed to Hong Yun in unison.

Even Hou Tu and Xuanming stood up and joined them.

Solemn and respectful!

The atmosphere suddenly became so serious that Hong Yun felt a little embarrassed.

He even temporarily ignored the system's "Ding!" in his mind.

He had only said what he thought on the spur of the moment because he was concerned.

He hadn't expected Dijiang and the others to take it so seriously!

Now he was at a bit of a loss!

"Brothers, please, get up!"

Hearing him call them "brothers," the Ancestral Shamans rose with smiles on their faces.

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged a glance.

Their eyes spoke volumes!

"Little Sister Hou Tu really is impressive. She won Little Brother Hong Yun over in no time!"

"Otherwise, why would Little Brother Hong Yun put so much effort into thinking about our Witch Clan?"

"..."

Hou Tu looked a little embarrassed, but she was happy about it all the same.

Only then did Hong Yun stop feeling awkward.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Dijiang:

"Let me add one last thing, Brother. If you choose the path of becoming innate gods, governing the laws and taking part in the development of the Primordial Wilderness, you must be diligent and conscientious!"

"Don't act recklessly!"

"Also, while fulfilling your main duties, do your best to expand the authority of your Divine Offices!"

Dijiang nodded.

"Little Brother Hong Yun is absolutely right. We'll keep your words in mind!"

After saying this, he looked at Hong Yun and Hou Tu, his eyes carrying a knowing smile.

"Since you two have become Dao Companions, that makes us family!"

"I won't say any more words of thanks. That would only make us seem distant!"

Though Hong Yun and Hou Tu looked a little shy when they heard the words "Dao Companions," neither of them denied it.

Dijiang was even more delighted. It was settled!

This was a sure thing!

There were few Innate Deities in the Primordial Wilderness whom the Ancestral Shamans could get along with.

The main reason was that they followed different paths and had little in common!

They thought those people were aloof and hypocritical, and they hated how indirect they were!

The other powerful cultivators also thought the Ancestral Shamans were reckless and uncouth.

So everyone had kept to themselves, and they'd hardly ever interacted!

Now Hong Yun had helped them several times, and his personality suited them well, too.

They couldn't have been more satisfied!

"Before you set out, let's celebrate!"

"Let all our people share in your good fortune!"

With that, Dijiang swept his hand through the air.

"Meat! Wine! Singing! Dancing!"

"Yeah!"

"Hahaha..."

The atmosphere instantly grew lively.

Seeing everyone get excited so quickly, Hong Yun felt his own spirits rise!

When other powerful cultivators gathered, they sipped tea and discussed the Dao.

By comparison, the Witch Clan's way of doing things suited him much better!

He smiled at Hou Tu as well.

The Ancestral Shamans split up to prepare for the celebration.

Zhen Yuan Zi went out to join in the fun, too.

Only then did Hong Yun have time to check the system's notification.

Just as he expected.

He'd gotten another chance to draw a prize!

"By guiding the Witch Clan to understand the path of innate godhood ahead of time, you have gained one chance to draw a prize."

"Would you like to draw?"

This time, the prizes included all sorts of things possessed by the Ancestral Shamans.

Hong Yun couldn't be bothered to look through them all.

Honestly, when he'd spoken up this time, he hadn't thought about drawing a prize from the system at all.

He'd only wanted to help Hou Tu. After all, she was his Dao Companion.

Hong Yun felt that he'd only said a couple of things.

He'd merely planted the seed!

There was no need for the Witch Clan to repay him with anything.

As Dijiang had said, they were family.

What good was it to keep taking from your own people?

It was better to take from your enemies.

Whenever Hong Yun thought of the Two Sages of the West, who'd taken advantage of him yet relied on their strength to avoid settling their karmic debt, they'd assumed they had Hong Yun at their mercy!

But in reality, he'd taken their opportunities and fortune for himself.

The thought made Hong Yun feel great!

That was the right way to use the system!

But the rules were the rules. Hong Yun could only helplessly reply to the system:

"Yes!"

The next moment, the illusory prize wheel spun.

"Hm?"

"Did I get nothing? Does that mean they don't owe me anything anymore?"

The pointer had landed exactly on the line between two prizes.

Hong Yun asked the system, feeling a little pleased.
