Wu Chu proposed that once the Witch Clan joined the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court should enfeoff the Witch Clan with the various land gods, mountain gods, and water gods of their territories. Some mountain and water gods from remote mountains and old forests could then be assigned to the Demon Clan.
As for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they would be enfeoffed as the Witch Clan's Twelve Kings, overseeing the Witch Clan's land gods, mountain gods, and water gods. Let demons govern demons and witches govern witches. After all, the Witch Clan needed to save face too.
They had nominally submitted, but the Heavenly Court could not truly take that at face value and start meddling in the Witch Clan's affairs. Otherwise, there would certainly be plenty of conflicts in the future.
Although this would undoubtedly leave behind many future problems, given the current situation, this was the only thing they could do.
Though the Heavenly Court was flourishing, the hard-headed Witch Clan was not afraid of them.
Having associated with the Twelve Ancestral Witches for countless years, Di Jun and Taiyi understood the Witch Clan's temperament well and did not press the issue. After all, their true purpose in unifying the Primordial World was not to rule over the Witch Clan, but to use it to attain the Dao and become Saints.
Once they succeeded in attaining the Dao, even if they had to abandon the Heavenly Court, they would not mind in the slightest. What they wanted was "power," not "authority."
After discussing many matters with them, Wu Chu asked how the Blood Sea should be handled. He suggested planting some soul-guiding flowers there—the Mandala Flower, the flower of hell. Aside from guiding souls, it could also be used in medicine, though it was highly poisonous.
