Chapter 614 - 379: Scheming for the Human Dao, the Birth of the Witch Clan!
"We are aware that the Ancestor Witches intend to establish a great undertaking in the Primordial world, aiming to let Pangu's glory reappear," the War Demon God continued, "and we might offer some assistance."
"Oh?" Emperor Jiang's eyes flashed with insight, "We would like to hear more."
"Although we Chaos Demon Gods are not as strong as in our heyday, we each hold a part of the Origin, and our foundation remains," the War Demon God said steadily, "If we can collaborate with your tribe, we are willing to offer a portion of our Origin Power to help your tribe cultivate a batch of elite forces."
"Elite forces?" Houtu pondered, "Could it be that you mean..."
"Exactly!" the War Demon God nodded, "At present, the world has Great Demons of the Demon Clan, Da Luo of the Immortal Dao, and although your tribe has the thirteen Ancestor Witches suppressing Qi Fortune, there seems to be room to improve the core strength and individual elite combat power."
"If the Origin of us Chaos Demon Gods can merge with the bloodline of Pangu, perhaps it can spawn a new, immensely powerful existence far beyond ordinary beings—we call it 'Great Witch'!"
"Great Witch!" Shebi Corpse's eyes sparkled with interest upon hearing this, "Sounds intriguing, but what do you seek in return?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch; the Chaos Demon Gods undoubtedly have their designs by coming forward so actively.
"What we seek is actually quite simple," the War Demon God said openly, "It's merely to use your tribe's hand to successfully 'come ashore' and secure a position in this new Primordial Epoch, and maybe even... emulate Hong Jun and Luo Hou to glimpse Pangu's secret!"
"Emulate Hong Jun and Luo Hou? Become Pangu?" Zhu Jiuyin spoke slowly, with a hint of scrutiny in his voice.
"Indeed!" the War Demon God did not conceal his ambition, "The path of Pangu is profound and elusive; since Hong Jun and Luo Hou could tread it, why can't we give it a try?"
The Ancestor Witches fell into contemplation upon hearing this.
They have indeed been plotting something significant for the future of the Witch Clan—that is, the true "birth of the Witch Clan."
Although they call themselves Ancestor Witches and legends of the Witch Clan exist in all heavens and myriad worlds, the Witch Clan has not truly been born, lacking a systematic, large-scale, and stable mechanism to inherit its core strength.
They need a powerful clansman capable of supporting the Ancestor Witch Dao and standing alone as the backbone of the Witch Clan.
The "Great Witch" concept proposed by the Demon Gods, along with the Origin Power they are willing to contribute, precisely meets their needs, solving their design problem for the future high-end combat power of the Witch Clan.
However, collaborating with Chaos Demon Gods is akin to seeking cooperation with a tiger.
Ju Mang spoke gently, "What fellow Daoists say does have merit. However, Chaos Demon Gods have always been untamed; how can we be sure of the sincerity of the cooperation and the controllability of the future?"
"Sincerity?" The Contract Demon God stepped forward, a quaint contract appearing in his hand, and smiled, "With me here, everything can be documented through a contract. Besides, if we wish to come ashore, we must rely on your Pangu's True Sect's Qi Fortune, so naturally, we dare not deceive."
"Furthermore, we are not without concerns either," an ominous presence Demon God suddenly spoke, with a hint of hesitation in his voice, "By cooperating with the Ancestor Witches and integrating into the Witch Clan, won't we... also become Pangu's descendants?"
As soon as he spoke, many Chaos Demon Gods displayed complex expressions.
They are Innate Divine born from Chaos, contemporaries with Pangu who created Heaven and Earth, even having conflicts. Now, to "acknowledge ancestry" and become Pangu's descendants is psychologically difficult to accept.
"Hmm, are you still caught up with these nominal concerns?" the War Demon God snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the Demon Gods, "Have you forgotten the so-called 'Dream Team' formed by Destruction Daoist, Order Daoist, and Wisdom Daoist, and what the ultimate outcome was?"
"They sought to act against the heavens and reopen the Chaos; what was the result? Perishing with their Dao lost; ages of plotting vanished overnight!"
"And there's Fellow Daoist of Reincarnation, who formed the 'Dead Ghost Heaven Team,' intending to control all heavens' reincarnation. Yet what happened? Calculated by the Netherworld Great Emperor, he became part of the Primordial Great Reincarnation, with his coffin nailed shut!"
The War Demon God's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking at the heart of every Chaos Demon God.
"The lessons from previous mistakes are clear!" he continued, "Now, this Primordial Heaven and Earth are founded by Pangu, with Heavenly Dao in operation and the trend of events. How can we easily move against it?"
"Thus, 'coming ashore', integrating into this world, is our only and best choice!"
"Don't worry about how you look coming ashore, or whether the process is humiliating. As long as we ultimately survive and retain useful forms, we are the victors!"
"In the future, if we truly have the chance to transform into Pangu, wield the power of Heaven and Earth, we can freely amend history, erase this segment from the River of Time, and who would know?"
"Besides," the War Demon God's tone softened as he shifted topics, "We are not intending to invest our entire true form; it is merely dividing part of our Origin and Power for an investment. If successful, everyone rejoices; even if it fails, we still have room for maneuver."
With words that were either coercive or enticing, or painting a promising picture, the initially hesitant Chaos Demon Gods began to waver.
Indeed, even someone as cunning as the Reincarnation Demon God turned his plans upside down; how much leverage do these surviving Demon Gods have to stir chaos?
Is face more important, or is survival and potentially advancing beyond more crucial?
The answer is self-evident.
"What Fellow Daoist of War says is not without reason," a silent-many Demon God slowly nodded, "Rather than barely surviving in Chaos's crevice, it's better to take the plunge; perhaps we can truly gain a bright future."
