"That's a request we can agree to!"
Xiao Ran bowed deeply, his voice thick with gratitude. "Thank you, Ancestral Witches, for your understanding!"
Houtu smoothed the hair by her ear and smiled faintly. "Alright, let's not dwell on this."
"Though you're unwilling to lead the tribe for now,"
"you, Xiao Ran, are still the pride of our Witch Race, a prodigy among us!"
"Tell us, what position would you like to hold in the Witch Race?"
Xiao Ran thought for a moment before speaking. "Our Witch Race has countless members, and even more geniuses born with extraordinary talent!"
"Yet not a single one serves as a priest."
"How about, from today, I take on the role of the Witch Race's Great Priest?"
"I am willing to devise strategies for the Witch Race and share in its burdens and troubles."
At these words, the Ancestral Witches nodded in agreement one after another.
What position Xiao Ran held in the Witch Race mattered little.
What truly mattered was that he could emerge from the guilt of his past battlefield defeat and dedicate himself to the Witch Race.
That alone was enough.
Xiao Ran becoming the Great Priest of the Witch Race was an unprecedented event in the entire race.
This news spread like a hurricane through every tribe of the Witch Race.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches even personally decreed that all clansmen above the Mysterious Immortal realm were to gather at the Pangu Temple in a few days.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches would personally confer upon Xiao Ran the title of Great Priest of the Witch Race.
And they would have millions of Witch Race elites witness this grand occasion together.
A few days later, at the Pangu Temple.
Millions of Lesser Witches, Middle Witches, and Great Witches had all arrived.
They looked toward Xiao Ran in the distance, their faces burning with fervor.
Ever since Xiao Ran's tribe had battled the Demon Army, slaughtering tens of millions of demon troops single-handedly, he had already become a legendary symbol in their hearts.
After that great battle, the entire Demon Race seemed to have been frightened out of their wits.
No matter how the Witch Race provoked or attacked, the entire Demon Race avoided battle, cowering in retreat.
The might of that single battle had chilled the entire Demon Race to the bone!
In all the eons of existence, only Xiao Ran had achieved this!
Such a fierce, domineering, heaven-defying, and invincible Xiao Ran
had long since become the most dazzling and eye-catching presence in the Witch Race.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches all wore smiles on their faces.
Though the battle between Xiao Ran's tribe and the Demon Army had been brutal, with countless clansmen dead and wounded, the victory had greatly bolstered the morale of the Witch Race!
It not only instilled fear in the entire Demon Race
but also spread the prestige and invincibility of the Witch Race throughout the Primordial World!
From then on, no race or living being in the Primordial World would dare to underestimate the Witch Race!
Di Jiang glanced at the tens of millions of clansmen and announced in a loud voice, "We, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, hereby decree Xiao Ran as the Great Priest of the Witch Race!"
"From now on, Xiao Ran will devise plans for our Witch Race and strengthen our power!"
"As of today, seeing Xiao Ran is the same as seeing us, the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"
At these words, the millions of Witch Race elites were all stunned, utterly bewildered.
They had already accepted Xiao Ran's appointment as the Great Priest of the Witch Race, thinking it was merely an honorary title.
Who would have guessed that Di Jiang would declare that seeing Xiao Ran in the future would be like seeing the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
Didn't that mean Xiao Ran's status in the Witch Race would be second only to the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
But after a moment's thought, these Witch Race members let go of their surprise.
Xiao Ran's battle with the Demon Army this time
had truly astonished the world and spread his fame across the entire Primordial World!
If they themselves were as monstrous and invincible as Xiao Ran, Naturally, they too could obtain such rewards.
"We pay our respects to the Great Priest!"
After Di Jiang announced the decree of appointment.
Tens of millions of Witch Race elites, with devout expressions, bowed to Xiao Ran in congratulations.
Xiao Ran's expression was calm as he declared in a clear voice, "No need for formalities!"
"Since I am the Great Priest of the Witch Race!"
"Today, I will surely exhaust all my efforts to devise strategies for the Witch Race, allowing our Witch Clan to stand tall and proud forever in the Primordial World!"
At these words, the tens of millions of Witch Race elites were stirred with excitement, bursting into cheers and applause.
But Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow, beginning to ponder inwardly.
What he hadn't expected was that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would trust him so deeply.
Not only had they granted his wish, making him the Great Priest of the Witch Race.
They had also elevated his status within the entire Witch Race to second only to the Twelve Ancestral Witches themselves.
Since the Twelve Ancestral Witches were so generous.
Then he, Xiao Ran, naturally could not be stingy.
In an instant, he had made up his mind.
A scholar dies for one who appreciates him!
Today, he, Xiao Ran, would have to bleed heavily!
Xiao Ran spoke with a smile, "I am deeply honored by the great affection of the Ancestral Witches!"
"I, Xiao Ran, am both awed and grateful beyond words!"
"Today, I shall borrow a flower to offer to the Buddha and present a few treasures to our Witch Race!"
Under the stunned gazes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and tens of millions of Witch Race elites.
Xiao Ran took out a jade slip blazing with divine radiance and handed it to Di Jiang.
"This is a supreme body-tempering technique I, Xiao Ran, have comprehended!"
"Its name is Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength!"
"This technique is unaffected by bloodline or talent!"
"If one practices it diligently, not only can it temper the physical body, but it can also rapidly enhance one's strength!"
"If every member of our Witch Race cultivates this technique to its peak!"
"Wiping out the Demon Race would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs!"
Di Jiang's hand, holding the jade slip inscribed with Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength, trembled slightly.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches' eyes were wide as saucers.
As if they had forgotten to breathe!
The tens of millions of Witch Race elites stood motionless like wooden carvings nailed to the ground.
Their eyes, unblinking, stared fervently at the jade slip.
Ancestral Witch Ru Shou rubbed his hands together excitedly, "A treasure so heaven-defying is like divine aid to our Witch Race!"
"I, Ru Shou, don't even know how to thank you!"
Xiao Ran waved his hand casually, "Ancestral Witch Ru Shou, no need to rush!"
"There are still more treasures to come!"
With that, Xiao Ran waved his hand lightly.
