Chapter 178: Devils, Monsters, Demons, Buddhas, Immortals, and Gods, Destroying the Witch Character to Become Human!

The more he thought about it, the more distraught he became, having never imagined he would, in this manner, become a part of the ancient myths of this primordial world.

Day after day, he waited alone for the two to come and mock him, but no matter how long he waited, they never appeared.

This morning, held captive in the mountains, he couldn't help but sing loudly, like a rhythmic chant:

"Tian Tu contended with the Emperor for godhood.The Emperor, fearing his might, severed his headAnd buried it in Changyang Mountain.His hands were then used for soup, his legs for stew,And a cleaver was constantly wielded to chop,To prevent his immortal body from escaping."

His resonant voice echoed through the mountains and rivers.

Just then, a mortal woodcutter heard the song and, unable to resist, came closer to investigate.

The young woodcutter saw a living head suppressed beneath the mountain. On the mountain, there was also a golden decree from the Celestial Realm, which filled him with terror. "Oh," he exclaimed, "an ancient god has violated the heavenly laws and is suppressed here!"

"What crime did you commit in the heavens? How audacious, to dare contend with the Emperor for godhood?" the young woodcutter asked, clutching his stone axe. He couldn't help but sit down, his body still trembling.

"Do you know the Thunder God? Or the Earth Mother?"

From the woodcutter's words, he subtly probed and gradually understood the plight of the other two — like himself, they were utterly immobile!

A few days later, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder began to rumble.

A Thunder God, with a sharp beak and black wings, holding a thunder chisel, flew across the multicolored clouds, unleashing bolts of lightning.

*Rumble!*

As the Thunder God passed Changyang Mountain, the head looked up at the sky from afar, sneering incessantly. "Heh heh heh... From that screenshot, the Thunder God looked incredibly imposing, but you were merely a hammer in his hand, used for hitting bottoms!"

Several more months passed, and the woodcutter frequently brought him food.

One day, the woodcutter came again, looking at the head trapped beneath the mountain. "Ancient god, can you teach us magic?" he asked. "Outside our tribe, there's a tyrannical River God. He's the son of a powerful ancient god and acts like a tyrant among mortals. Every year he demands child sacrifices, and he's very formidable. Our tribe can barely survive; I want to overthrow him."

Tian Tu suddenly laughed. "Yes! Just keep bringing me food. By the way, what do you want to learn? I'll teach you to cultivate it secretly and subtly eliminate him."

The woodcutter replied, "I want to learn the wonderful method of Great Freedom, so that the gods in heaven maintain order without enslaving humans."

"You want to learn the method of Great Freedom? To roam freely between heaven and earth, unrestrained?" Tian Tu smiled. "Why choose such a difficult path? This path is destined to be arduous, almost impossible. Even so, do you still wish to learn?"

"Yes," the woodcutter replied firmly. "The ancient gods wield the rules of the world and oppress humanity. I want to protect our nation."

Tian Tu paused for a moment, suddenly recalling the World of Mages, where mages committed suicide for the sake of their War God and Evil God. "Interesting, truly interesting," he mused. "You want me to turn around and help you resist them?"

Another day passed. The woodcutter brought the tribe's warriors and men, all clad in rags, and they stood before him.

"I am one who defies the gods; those who learn from me die. Are you sure you want to learn?" Tian Tu asked.

The entire tribe nodded.

Tian Tu smiled. "Then, come. Cut off my flesh—my eyes, ears, nose, mouth—whatever parts you like. Then, mix my flesh and blood into your own. If you survive, you shall be called..."

He pondered for a moment, then picked up a stick and wrote a large Chinese character in the dirt: '巫' (Witch)!

"This character," he explained, "the upper horizontal stroke represents heaven, the lower one represents earth. The central vertical stroke is the Jianmu tree, and within it are two figures, symbolizing man and woman... this is the character '巫'! Heaven and earth are a cage, and people are within it. Humans are beings confined within this prison, trapped by heaven, bound by earth..."

Bell sneered meaningfully, "Demons, monsters, spirits, Buddhas, immortals, and gods—destroy the '巫' character to become truly human!"

"You are the rebellious tribe against the gods," Tian Tu declared, "cursed by my immortal blood for generations. You shall be called the Witch Tribe."

Tian Tu sneered, gritting his teeth as if harboring a deep hatred. "One day," he declared, "you must shatter that sky, pull down the Thunder God, destroy his chisel, cut down the Jianmu tree on the ground, sever the ties between the two realms of heaven and earth, and then return to save me."

He had a fiery temper and was utterly enraged to the point of madness. Of the other two, one was at most spanked, and the other at most became a bridge. But he was the most miserable; his body was hung in the sky for display. Anyone who looked up could see his body being dismembered live every day. What utter humiliation! Even trapped here, he had to find a way to eliminate them.

A few hours later, the famous red-named player, Bell, also became active. As soon as he posted on the forum, it caused a huge sensation.

**Bell, Top of the Food Chain:** "Hahahaha! As expected, I also got a position, and it's much more powerful than the Thunder God's! As soon as I entered, I became the trusted subordinate of the primordial ancient god, the Moon God! Indeed, when heaven and earth were first created, the operation of the cosmic order was severely understaffed – it's mind-blowing!"

Everyone instantly grew envious. Even this red-named player, Bell, obtained an ancient divine position? Overseeing a part of the world's rules? However, this player felt that merely talking wasn't enough to impress, so he frantically shared screenshots, showing off his wonderful life inside.

**Bell, Top of the Food Chain:** "Everyone, look! Do you see that magnificent moon in the sky? You can faintly see a tree, and a majestic giant chopping it nearby—that's me! You can also see a gentle and kind Moon God next to him, wiping his sweat occasionally. I've reached the pinnacle of my life! Honestly, I never imagined such a scene. That's the Moon God! One of the thirteen ancient existences, wiping the sweat off her subordinate while he chops wood. It just shows how kind and gentle the Moon God is. Working under her guarantees an absolutely boundless future!"

Everyone instantly became even more envious, thrilled just thinking about it. This damned red-named player was clearly just showing off! As soon as he entered, he pledged allegiance to the Moon God, and the Moon God even wiped his sweat.

**Bell, Top of the Food Chain:** "Let me tell you more about my job! I'm responsible for the food of all the gods in the Celestial Realm! Yes! The meals of all the great ancient gods! It's like I hold the lifeblood of all the gods in the Celestial Realm in my hands! If I don't like someone, I can just secretly poison them! So, if any of you ever get in, you'd better be careful. I'll poison your food! (That's just how domineering I am.jpg)"

You've got to be kidding me! And he's going to poison us too?! Everyone's scalps tingled; this was utterly disgusting.

Meanwhile, various research institutes, upon seeing this information, felt an even greater sense of a sword hanging over their heads, their pressure doubling. This was clearly a show of force, so they immediately accelerated their research pace.

"Damn it, another one has become an ancient being governing the rules of heaven and earth! (Envious)"

"In the future, when we ascend to heaven, we'll have to face thunder tribulations and watch out for the Thunder God making things difficult for us. After ascending, we'll still have to be constantly on guard, fearing being secretly poisoned. This is impossible to live with! (Terrifying)"

For a time, the entire forum grew even more fervent, as the turn of events was completely unexpected.

**Cute Girl Wants to Evolve into a Dragon:** "I can confirm it's true! Everyone in the world can see the scene on the moon. It's truly a public display of affection for the whole world to see! (Infuriating)"

**One Sword, Turtle Breath:** "I've also tasted the food; the cooking is excellent and very precious, not something ordinary ancient gods can eat. I also got to try a bite recently due to a work injury; it was incredibly delicious, a true delicacy on earth! (Thumbs up)"
