Capítulo 867: Chapter 516: Witchman Clan Upheaval, the Decisive Battle Approaches
The alliance of tribes led by the Witchman Clan differed from the Human Clan Ancestral Land; though it opposed the Human Clan Ancestral Land, it in fact involved multiple forces.
However, aside from the Witchman Clan, they had no Sage behind them making moves, so naturally, they could not partake in the games at the level of Sages.
In fact, their fates were already sealed from the start.
Do these quasi-saint beings not understand this?
Of course, they are aware. But what if the Sages cannot meddle in the affairs of the Human Clan?
In the current situation of the Primordial World, if they fight for it, they might still have a chance, but if they forfeit, like the esteemed Queen Mother of the West, choosing not to partake in many matters of the Primordial World, they will gain nothing.
The life of the Queen Mother of the West is naturally carefree, her cultivation realm profound, spending her days seeking the mystic and understanding the Dao, at ease and content.
But where lies her path?
The quasi-saints within the Human Clan Ancestral Land themselves have no opportunity to vie for the destiny of the Human Race, but the quasi-saint beings in the tribal alliance do not face the same circumstance.
Precisely due to these differences, once the decree of Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan was issued, the two underwent different transformations.
There were no doubts among the various non-Human Clan creatures within the Human Clan Ancestral Land as they all left the ancestral land.
On the side of the Witchman Clan, the Witch Clan departed decisively; aside from some reluctance, after all, since their entry into the Netherworld, they had not encountered large-scale war.
They had always been suppressing their inherent belligerence, with opportunities for such war being rare outside intra-clan sparring.
Faced with Emperor Jun’s decree, no force had room to resist.
Smaller powers wished to lead their supported human clan tribes to exit the tribal alliance, but entry is easy while exit is not so simple.
The Witchman Clan would not obstruct these minor forces from leaving but would retain the human clan tribes they initially brought.
Of course, some powers and human clans have already been exhausted in the war.
Not all human clan tribes remained within the Witchman Clan; upon receiving the decree of Emperor Jun, some quasi-saint beings, realizing they had no hope left of contending for the destiny of the Human Race, led their tribes out of the Witchman Clan.
Against these quasi-saints, the Witchman Clan naturally couldn’t hold them back.
Even powers possessing Daluo Golden Immortal beings, the Witchman Clan couldn’t stop.
They left with their supported human clan tribes without even conversing with Chi You.
For a time, a large number of human creatures left the Witchman Clan, infuriating Chi You, who wished to lead the Witchman Clan to conquer these tribes, forcing them to merge into the Witchman Clan.
Ultimately, it was Wu Xian who persuaded Chi You to abandon this idea.
Given the current situation, even if these beings left the Witchman Clan, they couldn’t be driven toward the Human Clan Ancestral Land.
This is Wu Xian’s final piece of advice to Chi You based on the current situation.
With the Witch Clan’s departure, he too must return to the Netherworld, albeit with reluctance. However, with the existence of Emperor Jun’s decree, he has no alternatives.
Human Clan Ancestral Land.
Xuanyuan naturally received the news: the tribal alliance led by the Witchman Clan had disintegrated.
This was an expected outcome, though he hadn’t imagined it would happen so swiftly.
The millennium timeframe he proposed initially was indeed more than adequate.
Even when it was reduced to five hundred years, Xuanyuan believed a significant part of the tribal alliance would dissolve, greatly diminishing the Witchman Clan’s strength.
Yet now, Xuanyuan feels that the hundred-year estimate Chi You once mentioned might not be unreasonable.
For this, Xuanyuan could only commend Chi You as a worthy leader of the alliance, possessing greater knowledge and naturally a more accurate vision.
What Xuanyuan regrets is that Chi You did not campaign against those departing tribes, which doesn’t align with his understanding of Chi You.
Now with Emperor Jun’s decree, even those human clan tribes backed by quasi-saint powers can only rely on their own strength.
Under such circumstances, besides the Human Clan Ancestral Land, which human clan tribe could contend with Chi You?
Regrettably, without the Witchman Clan’s pressure, unifying other human clan tribes becomes somewhat more challenging.
Xuanyuan thought to himself.
Despite this, Xuanyuan is actively sending people from the Human Clan Ancestral Land to win over these tribes, hoping they contribute their strength in times of war, even if they cannot be fully integrated.
Every bit of strength added increases their chances of victory.
Besides, whether from the Human Clan Ancestral Land or the tribal alliance, resources within the tribes are being consumed to elevate the cultivation realm of human beings as much as possible in preparation for the ultimate battle.
This centralization of resources has also made cultivation for beings below immortals a challenge.
Netherworld, Fengdu Palace.
Lady Ping Xin and Emperor Fengdu sat opposite each other, with Wu Xian standing by, recounting all that had transpired with the Witchman Clan.
When Wu Xian mentioned the disintegration of the human alliance and the departure of a large number of human beings, a frown appeared on Lady Ping Xin’s face.
Emperor Fengdu’s expression remained serene, seemingly unsurprised by these developments.
“Who could have imagined that a single decree from the Demon Emperor would cause the disintegration of that human tribal alliance?”
Lady Ping Xin continued with a sense of melancholy, “It seems the outcome of the discussion at the Palace of the Polestar was indeed a mistake for our Witchman Clan.”
