Background

The Witch Race originated from Pangu's legacy. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were formed from Pangu's essence blood, while Great Witches were created from the essence blood divided by those twelve ancestors. Great Witches therefore served as the race's principal fighting backbone. 1 3

Its members were born through the Pangu Blood Pool in Pangu Temple, rather than ordinary reproduction. This initially limited the race's population growth, especially after major losses in the wars against the Demon Race. 106

Before Xiao Ran's rise, the Witch Race was defined by constant warfare with the Demon Race. Its warriors were formidable and fearless, but its society placed little importance on strategy, cultivation techniques, artifact forging, formations, or communication. 1 48 49

Xiao Ran's reforms changed this foundation. As Great Priest and later the thirteenth Ancestral Witch, he reorganized Witch territory, founded Tiangong Hall, distributed cultivation methods, introduced communication infrastructure, and guided the race toward a more structured society. 39 50 60 82

Society and Organization

• Pangu Temple — The race's holy land and the location of the Pangu Blood Pool. It serves as the political center of the Witch Race and gathering place of the Ancestral Witches. 4 113
• Twelve Ancestral Witches — The original leaders of the race, formed from Pangu's essence blood. 1 3
• Thirteenth Ancestral Witch — Xiao Ran was elevated to this position after the war against the Demon Race and was granted authority over Pangu Temple. 81 82
• Great Priest — A position created for Xiao Ran. The Twelve Ancestral Witches decreed that seeing him was equivalent to seeing them. 39
• Rank hierarchy — Witch Soldier, Lesser Witch, Middle Witch, Great Witch, and Ancestral Witch. 12
• Tiangong Hall — An institution recruiting elite clansmen to research cultivation, formations, artifact forging, medicine, spiritual planting, and military equipment. 49 50 126
• Primordial Virtual Network — A communication system linking Witch consciousnesses across the race, enabling rapid intelligence sharing and coordinated military action. 52 60
• Pangu Blood Pool — The source of Witch Race newborns; later enhanced with Chaos Demon God Blood Essence and Nether Blood Sea blood water. 112 113

Characteristics

Physical Bodies and Battle Prowess

The Witch Race possesses exceptionally powerful physical bodies and traditionally fights through direct combat rather than reliance on magical treasures. An ordinary Witch Soldier is stated to be capable of killing a hundred ordinary Demon Race soldiers. 110 113

• Warriors are known for meeting danger without retreat and treating death in battle as an honor. 25
• Their physical strength allowed Xiao Ran to defeat Donghuang Taiyi through bodily power alone. 121
• Their force is especially effective when paired with body-tempering methods such as the Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength. 20 39

Innate Divine Laws

The Twelve Ancestral Witches are born with innate divine abilities and laws. Exceptional Great Witches can also awaken a divine law from the Pangu Blood Pool. 34

• Houtu possesses the Law of Earth. 34
• Hou Yi possesses the Law of Arrows. 34
• Before obtaining primordial spirits, most Witch Race members could cultivate only a single innate divine law throughout their lives. 83

Primordial Spirit Deficiency

The race's defining weakness was its historical lack of primordial spirits. This hindered divination, communication, the use of magical treasures, and the study of broader techniques. 52 83

• Primordial Spirit fusion lets selected Witch Race elites compensate for these weaknesses. 84
• Only Great Witches can safely fuse with primordial spirits; lesser members cannot control their power. 239
• The Primordial Virtual Network was developed specifically to overcome the race's inability to use normal sound transmission methods. 60

Military Formations and Technology

Under Xiao Ran and Tiangong Hall, the Witch Race expanded beyond brute-force warfare into formations, military engineering, and coordinated strategy. 49 50

• Twelve Heavenly God-Fiend Great Array — A formation developed and simplified by Xiao Ran for the Twelve Ancestral Witches. 41
• Pangu Fist — A simplified version of Pangu Divine Fist designed for cultivation across the race. 47 48
• Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Strength — A supreme body-tempering technique distributed to the Witch Race. 24 39
• Warships, armor, and weapons — Improved by Tiangong Hall personnel to strengthen the race for future conflict. 126

Territory and Resources

• Nine-Headed Lion territory — Conquered by Xiao Ran and chosen as his fief. 10
• True Howling Ancestor territory — Absorbed after the Witch Race army defeated its Demon Race tribe. 23
