The Witch Race had to change this disadvantage!
Otherwise, once the ultimate Witch-Demon war broke out, it would be too late for regrets!
Xiao Ran said gravely, "I do have one request!"
"Although our Witch Race has many Heavenly Prides, they all spill their blood on the battlefield!"
"Our Witch Race has no geniuses who study cultivation arts, alchemy, artifact refining, or formations!"
"But the Demon Race has countless talents like that!"
"As far as I know, after Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi united the myriad races across the Primordial World and founded the Demon Race Temple, they specifically selected countless Heaven-Blessed Geniuses to study all kinds of ways to deal with our Witch Race!"
"These geniuses of the Demon Race specialize in studying cultivation arts, alchemy, artifact refining, and other such methods!"
Di Jiang nodded and narrowed his eyes. "Do you also want to follow the Demon Race's example and establish something like that among our Witch Race?"
Xiao Ran took a deep breath. "Yes!"
"So that we can hold our own against the Demon Race and ensure our Witch Race endures forever in the Primordial World!"
"I ask the lords of the Witch Race to allow me, Xiao Ran, to establish Tiangong Hall within the Witch Race!"
"I'll select some of our Witch Race's Heavenly Prides to specialize in researching all kinds of ways to deal with the Demon Race!"
Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Ancestor Witch, was one of the few wise figures among the Ancestor Witches.
Several days earlier, using the Time Law as his foundation, he had glimpsed a scene of the Witch Race's tragic future in the incomparably profound and mysterious River of Time.
Rivers and mountains had lost their color, and the sun and moon had gone dark.
Relying on all kinds of heaven-defying magic treasures, rare Healing Life-Saving Divine Pills, and numerous deadly Killing Formations,
the Demon Race had driven every member of the Witch Race into a desperate situation...
At this thought, Zhu Jiuyin said resolutely, "Good!"
"I, Zhu Jiuyin, support you!"
Seeing this, the other Ancestor Witches nodded in agreement.
After all, Xiao Ran was establishing Tiangong Hall for no personal gain, and it wouldn't harm the Witch Race!
So why wouldn't they agree?
After the Twelve Ancestral Witches approved Xiao Ran's proposal,
they immediately ordered the Witch Race's many skilled craftsmen to go to a place hundreds of millions of li from Buzhou Mountain.
They were to give it everything they had and build Tiangong Hall.
The people of the Witch Race were already immensely strong.
And the order had come directly from the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
With hundreds of thousands of skilled Witch Race craftsmen working together,
they completed Tiangong Hall in just one day.
The next day,
Xiao Ran gazed at the imposing Tiangong Hall, with its countless splendid halls and towers, and couldn't help feeling moved!
From now on, Tiangong Hall would be where his dream took flight!
It would also be where the entire Witch Race could grow stronger!
Xiao Ran had originally served as the Great Priest of the Witch Race.
Now that he had become Hall Master of Tiangong Hall, his status had risen even higher.
Xiao Ran was now beyond the jurisdiction of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
His status was equal to theirs!
It could be said that Xiao Ran was now the undisputed Uncrowned King of the Witch Race!
Even though he hadn't yet become the Witch Race's thirteenth Ancestor Witch,
his standing was already almost equal to that of the other Ancestor Witches!
Once he entered Tiangong Hall, Xiao Ran didn't waste any time.
Everything was ready; all that remained was the final push!
Tiangong Hall was built, and he had taken his place as its Hall Master.
What they lacked most now was all kinds of talent from the Witch Race!
Xiao Ran summoned several messengers of the Ancestor Witches.
He ordered them to hurry to the various Witch Race tribes.
The Great Witches were to select the gifted and unusual people in their tribes and send them to strengthen Tiangong Hall!
Tens of thousands of messengers accepted the order and departed.
They raced toward the Witch Race's many tribes at top speed,
quickly delivering Xiao Ran's command.
Several days later, Tiangong Hall was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder!
Millions of the Witch Race's Heavenly Prides had gathered together!
These people weren't just elite warriors with unmatched strength in their respective tribes.
They were also geniuses with extraordinary skills!
Hou Yi sent a Middle Witch from his tribe who was the most skilled at making Divine Bows.
Kuafu sent an expert from his tribe in cultivating Spiritual Roots.
Great Witches such as Xing Tian, Chi You, Xiang Liu, Feng Bo, Yu Shi, and Jiu Feng also sent countless gifted and unusual people from their tribes.
Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches refused to be outdone.
They sent over all kinds of talent from their own tribes.
These people were skilled in alchemy, artifact refining, Talisman Making, and formations.
Great Witches who had awakened all kinds of Divine Laws also arrived in full.
They had come together, eager to serve in Xiao Ran's Tiangong Hall!
Seeing this, Xiao Ran smiled with satisfaction.
Tiangong Hall was now a gathering of the finest minds and the best of the best!
It was no exaggeration to say that Tiangong Hall was the Witch Race's greatest strength!
If the Demon Race conquered Tiangong Hall and razed it to the ground,
the Witch Race would lose more than half its strength!
After that, it would no longer have the power to contend with the Demon Race!
Xiao Ran waved his hand, and the millions of Witch Race elites, who had been roaring and clamoring, fell silent!
Xiao Ran's keen gaze slowly swept over the million Witch Race elites. He asked, enunciating every word, "Do you know why I, your Great Priest, summoned you to Tiangong Hall today?"
"To strengthen our Witch Race and slaughter the Demon Race's countless beasts!"
The millions of Witch Race elites shouted with fervent expressions.
Xiao Ran nodded. "Very good. I'm gratified that you understand this!"
"Starting today, based on your abilities, Tiangong Hall will be divided into six branches!"
"They are Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Spirit Planters, Formation Talisman Masters, scientists, and Wizards!"
At these words, the millions of Witch Race elites began discussing among themselves.
They could understand professions like Artifact Refiner, Alchemist, and Spirit Planter.
But the word scientist was completely unfamiliar to them!
No one in the entire Primordial World had ever even heard of scientists!
A dark-skinned, powerfully built Middle Witch couldn't help asking, "Sacrificial Lord, please forgive my bluntness!"
"What exactly is a scientist? Please enlighten us!"
Xiao Ran explained, "A scientist is someone who develops technology and creates all kinds of bizarre new things!"
"The goal is to catch the enemy off guard and kill them!"
"Never mind. You seem to have many questions, so I'll explain a little more!"
Then Xiao Ran explained the specific duties of Alchemists, Spirit Planters, and the other branches.
Only then did the millions of Witch Race elites finally understand, their faces lighting up with realization.
It turned out that Artifact Refiners were responsible for refining artifacts and developing new weapons.
