I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

"Oh? Then, in your realm, how many years can you live?"

"About four or five thousand. I'm nothing in the entire star field. A truly powerful being can live for ten thousand years. Some speculate that there's something wrong with this world itself, while others say it's because the cultivation method is incomplete."

"In other words, this world has rare items that can increase lifespan?" Claire asked.

The old man remained silent, as if thinking of the painful memories of the past, and then he said hoarsely,

"It's okay to tell you. That's... that's the fruit of a genius's creation. That person has created a practical path of cultivation... If they succeed, becoming the strongest in the star field will be a piece of cake."

"We happened to pass by this land, initially thinking it was a desolate wilderness, but we saw an extremely powerful force stirring up the order of heaven and earth, manipulating the laws of the stars. The other two people I was traveling with saw through the mystery at a glance, unable to control their desire, and rushed forward."

"I went there afterwards. We took advantage of her tribulation and attacked her fiercely, intending to take her Dao Fruit."

"But the Pioneer is so powerful. Even if he was seriously injured and at the same level as us, we couldn't defeat him... We were defeated almost instantly."

"The entire continent is about to be shattered, the stars in the sky are being knocked down, and the world is reduced to a sea of fire. The so-called ancient gods in your world are actually the survivors of this battle."

Claire couldn't believe it. "The Ancient God is the survivor of your battle? Is it like when there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king?"

"No, they are already strong, otherwise they wouldn't have survived. I guess everyone in the world died, so they transformed themselves and called themselves ancient gods to rule over all living things."

The old man nodded with regret, "Those two Dao brothers were beaten to pieces, but I was lucky enough to leave behind a wisp of soul, which later dissipated. All that remains is the unwilling thought, the desire to pass on my life's learning to future generations..."

Claire's heart surged when she heard this. "The so-called pioneer you encountered? Could it be a witch?"

"She is a witch, but also the original god in your mythology... She was the one who opened up your path to magical practice."

"You're right. The so-called ancient gods are actually just ordinary people who survived the war. They were the first to receive the inheritance of the original gods."

Let’s put the matter of the ancient gods aside for now.

Claire realized something important.

"Fuck! If you say that, doesn't that mean our future as magicians is over?"

It is generally difficult for later practitioners to surpass the founders of the Dharma. This is not just a matter of talent, but also a matter of "road competition."

Practicing this method is, in a sense, a kind of shackle. The deeper the practice, the more severely you will be bound.

Think about the methods I have practiced so far, magic, extraterritorial magic, and the star-drawing method I created, but that is very rough. If I want to reach a higher level, I still need to hone it.

The suppression of the Pioneer Law is a headache for any practitioner.

"The Original God is considered the first witch, right? Perhaps we should call her the Original Witch. But I noticed something: in mythology, after the Original God, there are no witches, right?"

After hearing Claire's question, several magicians discussed it among themselves for a while, and then said,

"The concept of witches only appeared in the Golden Age. It was unheard of in the two previous eras, the Age of the Ancient Gods and the Age of the Dragon. The most famous figure in the Golden Age was the Golden Witch, Beatrice."

"Oh? Then why is the word '魔' given to a witch? Does it mean evil?"

The old magician said, "'Mo' means magic, and it carries a mysterious connotation. The power of gods can be felt, but witches... uh, give people a demonic feeling, so some people say they are the pinnacle of magic."

Claire said, "That begs the question. If the original primordial god was a witch, then why haven't we heard of any trace of witches in two eras?"

This statement made some magicians feel very strange. "This is the first time we have heard that the Primordial God is a witch. May I ask who said this? Even if the Primordial God is a witch, it can only mean that she is an extremely powerful person, which has led to misunderstandings."

"Or perhaps it could be explained this way. During the era when humans and gods were separated, witch-like beings appeared, but they weren't called witches back then. They might have been considered ancient gods, and during the Golden Age, humans began to regard these people as witches out of fear..."

"Uh......"

Claire didn't reveal any more.

According to Lao Deng, aren't the ancient gods a group of people who took priority by relying on the cultivation methods left by the original gods and occupied a priority position?

There's such a huge difference between cultivation and witchcraft, how could the heroes of the Golden Age not tell the difference?

If he really couldn't tell the difference, Kreya wouldn't be hunted down.

......

The priests led by Reed and the knights in the team had some conflicts with Harlan's magician.

A contradiction arose.

"Hey, hey. We are all His Majesty the Holy King's men, why do you have to be like this?" Bruce had a headache and wanted to pull a few people to start a fight. He looked at the four sluggish-looking magic book knights next to him.

"Hey, beautiful. Come help me. The Knights are about to start a fight with the magicians."

Signum wanted to pretend to be mature and steady, but she was just a newly "born" personality, and was rebuked by the magician with just a few words.

"Who are the Holy King's men? We magicians are pursuing Her Highness Claire! We only seek the truth!"

The old magician puffed his beard and glared, almost making the Sword Knight Signum cry.

Well, it feels quite different for a queen with purple hair and a ponytail to be scolded and cried by an old man.

In the end, it was Claire who stepped in to stop the conflict and let Arya lead the knights back.

This kind of contradiction is inevitable. After all, magicians and knights cannot get along.

Although the knights have changed a lot and are no longer superstitious about doctrines, they still essentially worship "saints", have a natural messianic complex, and long for a savior to guide them.

Although Arya is not a great person at the moment, her gentle personality and her worship of the Virgin Mary make her fascinated by a group of young knights. It is not surprising.

As for the magicians? They're lucky they don't write down the saints' negative stories in their little notebooks. You can't expect them to worship someone; they only believe in the truth.

If one day Claire's reasoning could no longer control them, these guys would definitely run away.

No wonder the Holy Church is naturally hostile to magicians.

For the church, it is extremely painful to be with this group of restless "insects".
