CHAPTER 1955: CHAPTER 1230: TWELVE ANCESTRAL WITCHES—STRENGTH IN NUMBERS (PART 2)

For those in power, they must reward achievements and punish crimes. In the previous reshaping of the Prehistoric World, aside from Jiang Chen, the Witch Clan made the greatest contribution.

However, in the end, everyone received benefits except for the Witch Clan. If this were to spread, it would have a negative impact. People wouldn’t say it outright, but in their hearts, they might greatly disdain Jiang Chen, thinking him too petty.

Being labeled as petty wouldn’t be favorable for his subsequent rule.

Therefore, to reward the Witch Clan and fulfill his earlier promise, Jiang Chen not only revived the fallen Ancestral Witches but also took a step further.

Not only did their cultivation rise after resurrection, reaching the level of Primordial Chaos, but he also re-nurtured the Ancestral Witch body of Mother Earth.

A Witch Clan with the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu is considered a complete Witch Clan. Without the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu, their strength would likely fall by at least one tier.

By rewarding them in this way, it can be said Jiang Chen is very generous. If this gets out, no one will think of Jiang Chen as petty, nor would anyone think him unfair.

"The kindness of His Majesty will never be forgotten by the Witch Clan. If there is anything you need in the future, the Witch Clan will definitely do their utmost to repay."

Mother Earth, regaining her composure, sincerely bowed to Jiang Chen and said earnestly.

She was well aware that the Witch Clan had gained a lot this time. Although the Witch Clan contributed, they also had faults before, and Jiang Chen didn’t have to go to such lengths. Yet he did, so the Witch Clan must acknowledge his favor.

"No need to be so courteous, this is what the Witch Clan deserves."

Jiang Chen calmly accepted the courtesy from Mother Earth, as the Witch Clan owed him a great favor, and thanking him was expected.

Moreover, Mother Earth also gained significantly from this matter. The once dissipated Ancestral Witch body was re-nurtured, which was more than just having an extra body for her.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Dish was transformed from Mother Earth’s Ancestral Witch body. Now that her Ancestral Witch body has reappeared, it greatly enhances her control over the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish, making it easier to step into a higher realm.

This favor is not insignificant.

"Although ten million years is not long, if you, Mother, find it slow, you can move the Pangu Palace over, then place the Heart of Pangu inside. This way, the formation speed of the Twelve Ancestral Witches will be greatly increased."

Thinking of one thing, Jiang Chen suggested.

The Pangu Temple, Heart of Pangu, and Mount Buzhou are originally complementary. When all three are combined, the power they can unleash is the strongest. This also accelerates the nurturing speed of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Of course, most importantly, whether it’s Mount Buzhou, the Pangu Temple, or the Heart of Pangu, they are essentially the flaws of the Prehistoric World.

Pangu’s body should have transformed into everything, merging completely with Heaven and Earth, leaving no trace like Mount Buzhou, Heart of Pangu, or Pangu Temple.

Their existence indicates that the body of Pangu Great God hadn’t fully transformed. Therefore, for the Prehistoric World to be perfect, these must be completely transformed and merged into the Prehistoric World.

This is also why Jiang Chen let the Heart of Pangu regenerate the Twelve Ancestral Witches. No matter how strong the foundation of the Heart of Pangu is, nurturing so many strong beings would still weaken it.

At this time, it’s the best opportunity for the Prehistoric World to dissolve it. Otherwise, facing the Heart of Pangu at its peak, who knows how many years it would take for the Prehistoric World to dissolve it.

The reason Jiang Chen was so eager to refine the Heart of Pangu wasn’t impatience due to waiting so long. Instead, it was because this matter couldn’t be delayed further; the longer it drags on, the greater the unpredictability.

What if the Heart of Pangu transformed?

By then, how would it be dissolved?

Does everyone truly have the self-sacrificing determination?

Moreover, what did it do wrong? Why should it sacrifice itself to perfect the Prehistoric World, just because it’s the Heart of Pangu?

If the Heart of Pangu transformed, it would inevitably lead to a series of issues, thereby generating a massive tribulation, causing the world to shake. To prevent such troubles, it’s better to refine it sooner rather than later.

The transformation of the Heart of Pangu may sound absurd, previously no one in the Prehistoric World would have thought so. But now, it is a very likely event.

Previously, the Heart of Pangu couldn’t transform because the upper limit of the Prehistoric World was low, imposing restrictions on living beings, eradicating the possibility of those against the natural order transforming.

But now, as the Prehistoric World becomes stronger, with an elevated upper limit, strange occurrences inevitably increase. What used to be things against the natural order may not be so special now, and the Heavenly Dao naturally won’t prevent their awakening of intelligence and transformation.

Just like the Innate Fusang Tree and Innate Laurel Tree, previously they couldn’t transform, but now they only need to cultivate for a period to transform into an Innate Dao body.

This is the benefit of Heaven and Earth ascending. Things previously rare become common; events that couldn’t happen before now have the possibility to occur.

The stronger Heaven and Earth become, the more possibilities there are, and logic becomes less binding, with various strange phenomena likely to happen. The transformation of the Heart of Pangu alone has a high probability, and it’s even possible for Mount Buzhou to develop intelligence.

If not like this, how can Heaven and Earth’s strengthening be reflected? Thus, to avoid some troubles, Jiang Chen had no choice but to plan ahead to eliminate these hidden dangers.

First, weaken the Heart of Pangu, allowing Heaven and Earth to engulf it. And the world that engulfs the Heart of Pangu will undoubtedly become stronger.

Then, swallowing Mount Buzhou and the Pangu Temple will become much simpler.

Jiang Chen is like this, calculating every step. This time, he revived the Twelve Ancestral Witches and made them stronger. Not only did he fulfill his promise, but he also gained the favor of Mother Earth and weakened the Heart of Pangu, achieving multiple objectives in one go.

As for whether the Witch Clan’s strength, after the revival of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, would surpass the Human Race, Jiang Chen believes there is no need for concern. The potential of the Witch Clan has been locked, with no possibility of surpassing the Human Race.

The Human Race can reproduce, and being born as a Dao body, everyone can cultivate, which is the advantage of the Human Race. The large base, coupled with endless resources, can produce a considerable number of strong individuals from the Human Race.

And the Witch Clan? Indeed they are naturally stronger than the Human Race, even stronger than the Dragon Clan. But what of it? The stronger a living being, the more difficult it is to reproduce, which is a constant truth in the Prehistoric World.

The Witch Clan is inherently stronger than the Dragon Clan, which means their fertility rate is even lower than that of the Dragon Clan.

Initially, the Demon Clan’s overall talent couldn’t match the Witch Clan, and their strength was also far behind. But why were they able to gradually catch up later? It’s simply because the Demon Clan could reproduce.

Over millions of years, even dying while reproducing could multiply the Demon Clan’s numbers thousands, millions, or even countless times over. Yet the Witch Clan’s numbers, at most, only increase by a hundred or a thousand times.

For every additional Witch, the Demon Clan could have thousands, even tens of thousands more. Over time, they naturally caught up with the Witch Clan.

Don’t say having many people is useless; the Prehistoric World has the Human Path. Even if the number of mortals reaches a certain level, they can trigger the power of the Human Path, let alone cultivators?

Moreover, the more the number, the stronger the fate, capable of unleashing powerful force as well.

Thus, in the Prehistoric World, even ants shouldn’t be underestimated. Many ants can bite an elephant to death; this is not just talk. If hundreds of millions of mortals roar together, even an Innate Dao Sovereign would be terrified, not daring to approach.

Many people represent strength, and the Human Race can reproduce, this is the capital for the Human Race to dominate the Prehistoric World. What use is the Witch Clan’s strength if they can’t reproduce?

One-on-one, the Human Race can’t beat the Witch Clan. But what about ten thousand to one, or hundreds of thousands to one, or millions to one? They can overwhelm you.

Therefore, the true enemies of the Human Race have never been these inherently strong races like the Dragon Clan or Witch Clan. Their natural limitations are too great.
