In the beginning, the Ancient Human Race worshipped Heaven and Earth, imitated the God-Devils, and ultimately birthed twelve totems, which were the Twelve Ancestor Witches, becoming the supreme wielders of the Witch Deity Teaching.
Now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and despite numerous powerful figures in the Witch Deity Teaching, the positions of the Twelve Ancestor Witches remain unfilled, not even half are occupied.
After all, the authority of these twelve Ancestor Witches is immense, each wielder has their own lineage of power, resembling more an alliance rather than a subordination.
Even the Witch God Sect Leader, holding the honorable position of the Space Ancestor Witch, commands towering authority in the Witch Deity Teaching, yet he sees the other Ancestor Witches as collaborators rather than subordinates.
Thus, offering the honorable position of one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches to Fire Virtue Star Lord is more than enough to demonstrate his sincerity, signifying that Fire Virtue Star Lord will be eligible to establish his own lineage within the Witch Deity Teaching, instead of becoming a subordinate or a vassal.
"The Honorable Position Zhurong!" Despite not being from the Witch Deity Teaching, Fire Virtue Star Lord is well-informed about the Twelve Ancestor Witches of the Teaching.
Ancestral Witch Zhurong, with a beast's head and a human body, wears fire serpents in his ears, treads on two fire dragons, his body cloaked in fiery red scales; he is the Southern Ancestral Witch of Fire.
In fact, not just Fire Virtue Star Lord, but which among the mighty ones in this world doesn't know the renown of the Twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Deity Teaching? After all, as a long-standing heritage of the human race, even in today's era, many from the human race worship, and the accumulated boundless power of the Incense Faith is in no way inferior to that of a position held by the Residual Number Emperors in the Heavenly Court.
This Honorable Position Zhurong, as an Ancestral Witch of Fire, who is also the natural Wielder of the Fire Path Authority. To obtain this position would be a tremendous force even for a Taoist Monarch like Fire Virtue Star Lord.
At his level, to continue advancing in the Great Path of Fire, besides further studying the Laws of Fire, it's essential to accumulate Fire Path Authority to help him reach new heights.
"Ancestral Witch Zhurong is our internal designation in the Witch Deity Teaching, and within the human race he's also known as the Fire God. In ancient times, when Xuanyuan Clan took power as the Human Race Common Master, he established six ministry positions: Chi You, Da Chang, She Long, Zhurong, Da Feng, Hou Tu, controlling the four directions of Heaven and Earth." The Witch God Sect Leader spoke of secrets unknown to many.
Many believe that Ancestral Witch Zhurong is merely a totem worshipped by the Witch Deity Teaching, unaware that following the Human Race Common Master's reign, successive Ancestor Witches of the Witch Deity Teaching were also appointed as subordinate officials by the Human Race Common Master, entrusted with wielding authority and governing the human race.
It can be said that in the era before the Pre-Qin Era, and before the rise of the Confucian Gate, these lineage of Ancestor Witches of the Witch Deity Teaching had almost spanned the entire Ancient Era of the human race, possessing great authority within the human race.
"If one is acknowledged by the Ancestral Witch's position, not only can they carry the power of countless years of Incense Faith but also imprint themselves upon the human race, gaining more of the human race's Qi Luck added to them," the Witch God Sect Leader said arrogantly.
His pride was justified. When the Human Race expelled the Demon Race and established the Heavenly Court, fulfilling the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the human race undeniably became the overlord of the Divine Land World.
All sorts of strong figures in the Divine Land World emerged from the human race, and even those Innate Demon Gods who returned from ancient times renounced their demon god identities and settled as part of the human race.
Moreover, the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan continuously grew, and as the Divine Land World developed, the human race also steadily thrived, reaching an exceptionally prosperous state.
No matter what the configuration of the discovered worlds, once they were found by the Heavenly Court, the human race would inevitably become the ruler of that world. Any race that dared to contend with the human race would either be exterminated, assimilated into the human race, or become servants of the human race.
The reason the Desolate Beast World was obliterated, besides the lack of wisdom among the desolate beasts, was also that the world ruled by desolate beasts refused to submit to the human race, obstructing the human race's growth.
As the human race grew stronger, its Qi Luck was no less significant than the Heavenly Authority, and with the support of the human race's Qi Luck, one could not only become invincible but also aid in Cultivation Enlightenment.
Today, among the many strong figures of this world, which one isn't blessed with human race's Qi Luck? If one fails to gain the recognition of the human race's Qi Luck, they will become an outlier and face thorough suppression.
Buddha, Tao, Demon, Confucian, and Witch God Teachings—what are these factions vying for? They are vying for the Qi Luck of the human race, seeking to integrate their doctrines into the human race, lead the prosperity of the human race, and with it, further their own Religious Sects.
For any powerful figure, the human race's Qi Luck is something they would only consider too little, not too much. However, as the human race grows in strength, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain the Qi Luck of the human race.
It is like adding a bucket of water to a small pond versus adding a bucket of water to the vast ocean; the significance is entirely different.
With the human race's growth, many powerful beings found that although the Qi Luck of the human race they received increased, their total share was continuously shrinking. This is an unavoidable fact.
Even so, they are still continuously seeking ways to get more Qi Luck added, as, compared to the Heavenly Authority, obtaining the human race's Qi Luck is a bit easier. One only needs to help the race become stronger.
The power of a cultivator does not solely come from themselves but also from the support behind them. Within the human race, it is various factions, but from the whole race's perspective, the human race is their collective support.
Especially those who had truly experienced the Conferred God War, they knew very well that had the human race's strong not expelled the Demon Race, they wouldn't have today.
In terms of sectarian divisions, the power of the Longevity Taoist Monarch has affected their development to some extent.
But from the perspective of the entire race, the existence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch is also their solid reliance.
"It seems I hardly have any reason to refuse," Fire Virtue Star Lord said after a moment of silence, with a wry smile.
In fact, in the past, hadn't he dreamed of Zhurong's honorable position? After all, in the Ancient Human Race era, Zhurong also had the status of Fire God, just that it had been slowly overshadowed with time.
But because of the power of the Witch God Sect, the Fire Virtue Star Lord was merely able to watch this status from afar, lacking any qualification to fight for it, so he had to suppress the thought in his heart.
To search tirelessly for something, only to find it easily without effort.
The Fire Virtue Star Lord never imagined that the status he once so desperately sought would now be laid out easily before him. This was truly surprising for him.
With his current strength, not to mention other things, if he were to solely refine the Authority of Ancestral Witch Zhurong, it wouldn't be any less remarkable than the enhancement of the Great Star Technique by Great Emperor Ziwei or the Great Law Decree Technique by Emperor Jade, and it would certainly allow his Fire Path Laws to transform once again.
This honorable position had already tempted him; with the addition of the human race's Qi Luck, it became even more irresistible.
For the Fire Virtue Star Lord, he really doesn't mind allying with anyone, just as when his own people initially offended the Longevity Taoist Monarch at the very beginning, everyone thought the two would become mortal enemies.
But the outcome was completely different. He gave up on revenge and instead cooperated with the other party, leading to his later rise.
Although this involved his own efforts, it cannot be denied that with the Longevity Taoist Monarch's support, he was able to truly seize those opportunities and advance unhindered.
"You will not regret this decision!" The Witch God Sect Leader revealed a smile on his face.
Indeed, persuading others is simple, as long as you can provide something the other party needs.
After speaking, he gently waved his sleeve, and several Jade Slips flew out and landed in front of Fire Virtue Star Lord. He then said, "These are some preliminary information needed for the honorable position of Ancestral Witch Zhurong. Star Lord, when you are ready, you may come to the Witch God Sect, and I, the Church Master, will surely welcome you with open arms."
