“Ji, Qi, starting tomorrow, you will be the leaders of a new tribe.”
"Starting tomorrow, you will bear the weight of my expectations for you, the future of more people of the human race, and the heavy responsibility of uniting more people of the human race, leading more people of the human race to survive in the prehistoric world, fighting against wild beasts and demons."
As dusk fell, after Ji and Qi had selected the tribespeople they were to take with them, in the last rays of the sun, amidst the sacrificial gathering of all the tribespeople, Wang Han sat in a high position, giving Ji and Qi, who stood before him, his final instructions.
"Spirit Head, even if we die, we will fulfill your command!" Ji shouted immediately upon hearing this. From the moment Wang Han spoke to him during the day, the meaning and ideals of his life had changed, becoming heavier and higher.
“Qi, I know you understand why I asked you to build a new tribe, and you understand the significance of what I'm doing. You just don't want to leave the tribe.” Wang Han looked at Qi, who was still somewhat unwilling to leave the tribe, and said earnestly, “But I hope you live a more valuable and meaningful life. There are still many, many people living the kind of life you once lived, a life of hunger, cold, and constant fear of death. So I hope you can help them, help more people in need. You already have that ability, Qi.”
Upon hearing this, Qi nodded and asked Wang Han in a pleading tone, "Spirit, will I... be able to come back in the future?"
"Of course!" Wang Han said with a smile, reaching out to pat Qi's head again, and said, "The tribe will always be your home. I hope that when you come back next time, you will be taller so that I can touch your shoulder and talk to you."
"Hehe! I will definitely grow taller." Upon hearing this, Qi finally smiled and said with a silly grin like a child, "I will definitely not let the Head Spirit down. I will definitely help more humans."
'It's the Head Spirit who knows how to deal with this silly boy!' Seeing how Wang Han persuaded Qi to willingly leave the tribe to form a new one with just a few words, Ji couldn't help but admire Wang Han even more. The Head Spirit was indeed a wise man among humans. Before coming to the cave, he had beaten and scolded the boy, but he still couldn't change Qi's mind.
"There is still much you haven't learned, and much more you need to learn. Originally, I planned to teach you more so that you could more smoothly establish a new and prosperous tribe, expand it, and let it protect more humans," Wang Han said. "However, humans are dying every moment now; every second is a human life. Therefore, I plan to have you set off tomorrow. Tonight, I'll have the two of you come alone. I want to teach you some special things, so that you will be able to fight against wild beasts and even demons. What you haven't learned yet, you can only learn later when you have established your tribe and shouldered the great responsibility of humanity."
"Yes, Head Spirit." Upon hearing this, Ji and Qi nodded earnestly, remembering every word Wang Han said.
"You two stick your heads out here," Wang Han nodded and instructed the two men.
Upon hearing this, Ji and Qi lowered their heads and moved closer without any hesitation.
“You’re leaving tomorrow morning, and it’s too late for me to teach you little by little. So I’ve imprinted what I’m about to teach you into your memories.” Wang Han placed his hands on the tops of their heads, transferring his modified witch clan combat techniques into their memories, and said, “These are two sets of martial arts techniques. If you master them to their fullest extent, you can even kill powerful demons with your bare hands. They will definitely help you better protect your new tribe. There are also languages that you haven’t learned yet.”
(It's not that Wang Han didn't want to teach about the Five Elements and other cultivation techniques, but these savages can't even speak a complete language, let alone understand the Five Elements. Even if Wang Han imprinted them in their memories, they wouldn't be able to comprehend them. Besides, the author has his own plans.)
"Thank you for the blessing from the spirit!" Ji Heqi immediately said to Wang Han upon feeling the sudden appearance of memories in his mind.
"Alright, the sun will be setting soon. Go back and memorize it carefully. Everyone should go back and rest!" Wang Han said, waving to Ji Heqi and all the surrounding tribal members to disperse.
"Yes, Chief Spirit." Upon hearing Wang Han's instructions, the clansmen dispersed and went home.

The next day, as the sun rose over the hillside and brought some light to the tribe, the people gradually began to rise and clean themselves. Cleaning was something Wang Han strictly required; he took hygiene very seriously.
After cleaning, the tribespeople, led by Wang Han, helped Ji and Qi, along with the more than two hundred tribespeople who had left with them, pack their belongings. They gave them plenty of dried meat and weapons, some well-preserved seeds, and even the few remaining animals in the tribe. Finally, with Wang Han and the entire tribe seeing them off, and with Ji and Qi firmly leading the way, they left the tribe's wooden stakes with many backward glances, and set off towards the sun as Wang Han had instructed.
"They're gone! I wonder when we'll meet again, and how many familiar faces will be there when we do!" Watching his tribesmen disappear into the forest as they went out to establish a new tribe, Wang Han sighed and turned back to his tribe.
After Wang Han turned and went back to the tribe, the other tribesmen followed him back.
Upon returning to the tribe, Wang Han reorganized the tribe's personnel. He assigned Mu and Chun to teach the children how to speak, and Li to train the remaining tribesmen. Then, he led one-third of the men on a hunting expedition. These men would become the next generation of leaders for the tribe that Wang Han was training.
(The remaining two-thirds of the men stayed behind in the tribe, with half training and the other half responsible for defense and construction. The women were responsible for farming, sewing, and other chores in the tribe, and in their spare time they helped the men with work and training.)

"Chief, how far are we going?" On the other side, Qi asked Ji, who had left the Youwei tribe. Strangely, he didn't mispronounce the name as usual.
"As instructed by the spirit, we must continue eastward until we frequently encounter new humans. Only then can we choose a location to establish a new tribe's settlement. The spirit said it will take about seven days or more (over a hundred kilometers, but the journey will be much slower because it's through a primeval forest)," Ji replied.
