However, the Wu tribe held a meeting convened by the 12th ancestor of the Wu tribe and decided to incorporate the human race into the Wu tribe's sphere of influence, making them serve as logistics for the Wu tribe, allowing the people of the Wu tribe to focus on their cultivation. As long as some powerful members of the Wu tribe were sent to govern a region, it would be enough.

  The fate of the human race was thus changed by the unilateral decision of the witch tribe, and the witch conference decided to instruct the witches waiting outside to convey this decision to the human race.

  After the Human Tribe received the unilateral decision of the Witch Tribe, they were filled with anger and then a sense of secret joy. Although the Human Tribe was angry, they had no choice but to execute it. In the vast and chaotic world, the strong prey on the weak, and the Witch Tribe dominated the world, only the Demon Tribe could rival them. The first great war between the Witch and Demon Tribes ended in defeat for the Demon Tribe, and the Ancestral Founder of the Hong Jun Dao ordered that the land would be ruled by the Witch Tribe from then on.

  The human race was born only five thousand years ago, and now the population is only ten million. The strong are few in number, with the strongest being the Taiyi Golden Immortals, such as Suirenshi, Xīyīshì, and Yǒucháoshì. In this world where quasi-saints are not rare and Jinxian are as common as dogs, the human race's strength is really pitifully weak.

  There is also a mentality of expectation among humans, isn't this an opportunity as well? A weak tribe relies on a strong one, and great progress happens every day. Only strength is the foundation for a tribe to survive in this era.

  In this way, the human race became a member of the witch tribe's sphere of influence. The vast majority of the results of the human race's daily labor were handed over to the witch tribe. The witch tribe came down and eliminated some wild beasts that humans could not cope with. The witch tribe also taught some people in the human race some cultivation methods, but they were not profound, just relatively superficial.

  For hundreds of years in the closed Wujin, humans lived together with the Wu tribe. The Wu tribe was no longer mysterious in the eyes of humans. Now, on the roads of the tribes, you can often see Wu people coming to collect food and fighting alongside humans to eliminate some troublesome monsters.

  As humans and witches spent more time together, the mysterious veil between them was gradually lifted. Interspecies romance occurred from time to time, and in less than five hundred years since the birth of Wuji, the first human-witch hybrid, a second, third, and many more were born one after another.

  At first, the witches didn't pay attention to this new group of people and left them unattended. The witchmen born from the combination of humans and witches had poor physical quality, only being much stronger than ordinary humans but far weaker than ordinary newborn witches. As a result, the witches did not recognize their identity as witches and classified them as human-witches, giving them a new identity as human-witches.

  The identity of the human witch is not welcomed in the witch tribe, but it is different in the human tribe. Moreover, the human witch is a descendant of the human tribe, and everyone gets along with each other without distinction. After hundreds of years of living together, the human witch has become a member of the human tribe, no longer belonging to the witch tribe.

  But soon the witch tribe regretted their actions, for within a hundred years, five people had awakened to the witch tribe's divine powers, accounting for one percent of the population. In other words, among every hundred witches, one person successfully awakened to the witch tribe's divine powers. Most importantly, after cultivating, these five individuals actually cultivated to the yuan god in less than a hundred years, which was the soft underbelly of the witch tribe.

  A great witch of the Wu tribe discovered this phenomenon and hurriedly treated it as a major event, without regard for the previous order from the twelve ancestral witches that nothing unimportant should disturb them. He rushed to the sealed-off Pangu Hall where the twelve ancestral witches were in seclusion, crushed their communication talisman, and told them he had something important to report later.

  "What's the big deal, kid? You've gathered us here for a meeting, but if you don't give us a reason, watch out for your butt!" Just as Zhōu Jǐ entered the Pangu Hall, he heard Zhù Róng shouting at him in a loud and boisterous manner, accompanied by a kicking motion.

  Zhou Yi saw Zhu Rong's movements and didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly telling the situation he discovered to the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft. The eldest emperor, Jiang, listened to Zhou Yi's account and understood that this was a method for the witch tribe to increase its strength. Just as he was about to ask about the living conditions of these five people and wanted to gather them together to personally cultivate them.

  Zhouyi couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, saying: "Ancestor Wu, this is a bit difficult. This batch of witches was born with weaker bodies than ordinary witches, and were not well-received in the witch tribe. They were arranged to live with humans, and have now merged with them. On the outside, they are considered human, and it's hard for us to gather them back as witches. After all, they suffered bullying in the witch tribe, and this resentment will make it difficult for them to truly return to the witch tribe."

  Di Jiang heard that the newly born Wu was treated so poorly by his own people, and if he had encountered such treatment himself, he would probably have become disheartened with the Wu tribe just like Zhou Yi said. Someone who cannot return to their senses and be loyal to the Wu tribe is not worth cultivating.

  The five people who awakened the original divine spirit were unable to return to their tribe, causing Emperor Jiang and others to give up on cultivating them. Although this closed a door for the tribe, it also opened a window. After further discussion, Emperor Jiang and others decided to make this a tribal secret, isolating the five people who had already awakened their tribal divine abilities, preventing them from contacting others, and using extreme measures if necessary.

  The witch tribe will also encourage intermarriage between witches and humans, in the hope that more five-person births will occur in the future, and they will be cultivated from a young age to serve the witch tribe.

  In this way, the Wu tribe forcibly ordered the five awakened people to participate in the tribal trial as an excuse and left their original territory. For several years, decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years... there was no news, and it became a mystery from then on.

  In this way, the human tribe slowly grew in strength with the tide of the times. In the hundreds of years of closed-door cultivation, the human population broke through 100 million. The underlying strength of the human tribe was significantly improved after that. With the popularization of the witch tribe's Gongfa, there were also over a hundred people who broke through to the Tianxian realm, tens of millions of people in the Lianxu He Dao realm, and tens of millions of people in the Liangshen Fuxu realm. The rest were all in the Lianqi Huashen realm or the Lianjing Huaqi realm. Compared with the humans who did not cultivate Gongfa a hundred years ago, their strength was only at the limit of ordinary people. The growth rate of strength increased by a thousand times. The forests between tribes could no longer become an obstacle to communication between human tribes. Human civilization made great progress.

  The Wuji tribe originally developed gradually during this period, and the surrounding tribes came to join in, integrating the entire Shouyang Mountain range into a large tribe with a population of over 500,000, occupying an area of thousands of miles. Of course, this thousand-mile territory was only one corner of the Shouyang Mountains.

  Taiqing Daoist led Xuan Dou and Wuji to the tribe's square, where he used his divine power to create a high platform in the center of the square. Taiqing Daoist sat on the platform and began to expound his understanding of the Great Way.

  Xuandu and Wujie saw the teacher start speaking, and they hastily sat down beside him, listening attentively.
