Chapter 23

There is another important reason why witches are hated. Witches benefit greatly from the spiritual world, naturally they have to pay for these. All the previous things they paid could be said to be the reduced price.

The real reason why they are hated is because they have to create chaos. At least, they have to ensure the whole spiritual world is never in a state of stagnation. In exchange for many benefits, the witches had to become a war monger and peace maker. When there is stagnation, quickly create chaos to cause wars. When there is too much chaos, quickly make peace.

This was their responsibility.

When someone wishes to become a witch, they need the talent to become a witch. This talent is extremely rare, almost non-existent. One can see that from all the billions of humans alive, only Adele was a natural witch at that time.

There is a higher change of someone with an extremely strong soul being born than a natural witch being born. But the strong soul can choose any path, why choose the difficult path of a witch?

With the responsibility the witches gained, the spiritual world also gave it more benefits. As long as there is a period of stagnation, the world would give newborns at random a talent for witchcraft. Of course even if the chance is higher, there are still too few born this way.

But there is a bigger benefit. Witches got their own Origin law. Origin Law is the law behind bloodlines, the real name is Blood Origin. There are two manifestations of the Origin law: the Blood Origin and Soul Origin.

The Witch Origin is a branch of the Soul Origin. Anyone who had awakened the witch path, regardless of whether it’s natural, or whether they chose it own their own, or whether they were witches in their past life. As long as you once stepped on this path, you will always be connected to it with the Soul Origin.

It is mainly because of this talent that the witches took the responsibility. They knew that with this, all witches would become very unified. Although every strong man likes independence, knowing that this witch next to you will be your companion forever, at most in a different lifetime, they will naturally treat their likes better.

This is the reason why the witch coven is possible in the first place. So many different factions put together, yet they only argue but there is no chaos. It’s ironical to say that the ones that cause the most chaos are the most peaceful among themselves.

After all, imagine you kill a witch in this lifetime. When she is strong in her next lifetime and regains her memory, won’t she hunt you down? Instead of this hassle, it’s better to just be peaceful and not interact in this lifetime. They can resolve their conflict in the next life.

As a natural awakener, Adele doesn’t need to take the oath for the witch coven. Her soul was also changed so much by the necklace, that even if she didn’t have the talent before, by now, her talent would’ve awakened too.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

In fact, she also had a guess. Even if ten thousand years of sleep is a lot, she didn’t actually wake up right away. Many years passed after she awakened. If this wasn’t the case, how would she dare to have her soul regress by fifty whole years?

No, her soul was older than this, but it was a too large number, so she didn’t know exactly. She only guessed that it was likely the world that woke her up, not her achieving a milestone. This also means that the world knew of her crossing a loophole but kept her like this, clearly giving her the time to grow and wait until she is needed.

The world has entered the third era.

The first era, only a short time of around seven hundred years, was called the ‘Awakening Era’. It was after the spiritual world descended. This long time was when many people gained inheritances and became strong. The era ended when the various territories were finally decided and the world entered a peaceful time.

The second era was several thousand years long. It started when the first person crossed the sealing of the ninth stage and became a god. Before this god was able to seize the golden time and conquer the world, other gods ascended.

Based on this, several different god-factions rearranged the territory. The stronger conquered more, the weaker retreated. This war took many years to be solved, called the ‘God Ascension’ initially, then the ‘God Fall’ later. Some countries, even after becoming a god faction, fell and new order was brought.

This era once again ended when the wars between the gods stopped. After all, becoming a god came with the expectation of living forever. Several of them died, causing fear among the gods.

When the gods stopped, the other wars gradually ceased to be.

Because of this, one might think that it was a time of stagnation. But this is the third era, two thousand years have passed, and it seemed that many countries became active in war once again. Adele didn’t think this is stagnation, but she wouldn’t have been called at this time, it’s too soon for her to be a peace maker.

From the records she read, at least a few centuries should have passed in this war before the witch coven would have a surge in new witches. Witches are called peace makers because once they attempt talks, the people know that the spiritual world has given a command.

Although the spiritual world isn’t an entity nor is it conscious, the laws and regulations of the spiritual world are like a huge computer that ensures the prosperity of the spiritual world. War and Peace have to go hand in hand for great prosperity, the witches are its agents in this.

Naturally even if the witches want war or peace, people don’t have to listen. The consequence are that the laws of the spiritual world will slowly reject them, but delaying for a bit until they are satisfied is fine. After all, they don’t reject the spiritual worlds idea of war and peace. After going so far, they have a good vision of the world and naturally know why the spiritual world behaves the way it does.

It's only that the spiritual world is the spiritual world and factions are faction. So, what if a faction falls and another grows? To the spiritual world, it’s the same thing, but to the factions, this is vastly different.

Their only fear is that when they delay too much, it will be the witches that hunt them before the world does. After all, as agents, the witches will also be rewarded for fulfilling the will of the world. Once this faction that goes against the rules of the world is destroyed by the witches, the faction will be eaten up by other big and small factions and quickly fill the hole.
