Chapter 147 Each with their own thoughts
With the issuance of the edict of self-reproach, the earth-shattering battle outside the Netherworld Blood Sea was finally over. The quasi-saints of the Heavenly Court returned to the Thirty-Third Heaven, and the Styx River returned to the Netherworld Blood Sea. Everything seemed to have returned to the time before the great battle. However, it was impossible for everything to ever return to the time before the great battle.
One's attitude may appear submissive because the situation is stronger than one's own, but the calamity energy between heaven and earth does not lie. The surging calamity energy will devour the rationality of everyone involved in the great calamity along the path of cause and effect. Even saints, if they are deeply involved in the great calamity, will find it difficult to escape.
The three innate races of the previous great calamity, the two races of Wu and Yao in the Wu-Yao great calamity, and even the Tongtian Sect Master of the Investiture of the Gods great calamity, all with the cultivation of saints, could not escape the influence of the calamity energy.
Given his extraordinary mind, cultivation, and methods, as well as his Dao of Interception, which allows him to seize a glimmer of life for all living beings in the primordial world, it's hard to connect him with the being whose Qingping Sword was shattered by Zhunti with the Seven Treasures Tree, and who was then preparing to rebuild the earth, water, wind, and fire elements to create a new world.
The Qingping Sword is not only Tongtian's treasure for proving his Dao, but also a symbol of the friendship between the Three Pure Ones. Even if Tongtian were besieged by the Four Saints, Zhunti would not be able to break the Qingping Sword in his hand.
Re-establishing the earth, water, wind, and fire, and changing the world—this is not difficult for a Primordial Golden Immortal. However, this is like Gonggong breaking Buzhou Mountain. Gonggong had the ability to do it and could do it, but the result after doing it was uncertain.
Re-establishing earth, water, wind, and fire is tantamount to annihilating all living beings in the world, inevitably incurring boundless karmic retribution. For the already severely damaged and near-extinct Jie Sect, this was absolutely not a good idea, yet Tongtian still did it—
Knowing the terrifying power of calamity, Styx did not want to be involved in the great calamity, so he did not want to have too much or too deep a connection with the protagonists of the great calamity.
Or perhaps, Styx doesn't want to be associated with any great calamity, or become the protagonist of any great calamity.
As long as he doesn't court death, with his extraordinary and extraordinary Heavenly Merit protecting him, no one can do anything to him. He can just guard his little territory of the Netherworld Blood Sea and then establish the Underworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and that will be enough.
"The reproduction rate of the Netherworld race is still a bit slow, but—it's best to let nature take its course." Upon returning to the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Primordial Spirit surveyed the entire Netherworld Blood Sea in an instant, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Unlike the Witch Clan, whose bloodline determines the ultimate goal a witch can achieve after countless years of effort, the Underworld Clan's future is limitless. Therefore, even if their reproduction rate is slower, the Styx River need not be as anxious as the Twelve Ancestral Witches. More importantly, the current Underworld Clan is already sufficient.
Immediately, Styx gathered the major races in the Netherworld Blood Sea, as well as the most powerful Ghost Immortals, and strictly ordered that no race should leave the Netherworld Blood Sea. After each race closed their doors and quietly recited the Yellow Court Classic, Styx summoned dozens of Blood God Sons to guard the entire Blood Sea before returning to the depths of the Blood Sea to cultivate.
The newly acquired One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique is well worth studying and practicing. It will become another trump card in the future, and it will shine even when one reaches the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
At the same time, he also had to figure out how to sever his third corpse. Deep down, Styx hoped that the Great Dao entrusted to the innate immortal spiritual light in the innate spiritual treasure that would allow him to sever his third corpse could assist Styx in proving the Dao. Therefore, for Styx, this last spiritual treasure for severing the corpse had to be carefully chosen.
However, this is not an easy task. After all, given Styx's current cultivation level, to provide Styx with enough help, it would need to be at least a supreme innate treasure, or something with great merit entrusted to it and boundless potential. But such spiritual treasures seem to be extremely rare.
"We need to think this through carefully—" Styx pondered.
The battle in the Netherworld Blood Sea, and its causes and consequences, naturally did not escape the notice of Zhunti and Jieyin. Soon, Zhunti and Jieyin discovered that things were not quite as they had imagined.
They once considered the Heavenly Court a formidable enemy, but now, the Styx River has displayed a power they could never have imagined.
With Zhunti's intelligence, he quickly realized that the Heavenly Court would eventually unify the prehistoric world, and the West would have no chance to prosper. But if the Styx River, the Witch Clan, and the Celestial Court won a great victory in this contest, would they share in the fortune of the East?
Given the strength Styx has shown so far, defeating Zhunti and Jieyin would be a piece of cake for him. After all, without any special enhancements, defeating two quasi-saints would be a piece of cake for Styx.
Now, being single-minded has become a double-edged sword.
However, they were helpless in this regard, for a very simple reason: they could not go to the Eastern Primordial World at all. The cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao oath they had made under the pressure of Laozi and Yuanshi were firmly binding Zhunti and Jieyin, preventing them from taking any actions related to the Eastern Primordial World.
I regret it, but there's nothing I can do; I'm helpless.
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Court, a group of powerful figures gathered together with somber expressions. All eleven Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Court were present, and the expressions of the great supernatural beings varied.
Hongyun appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was filled with regret. Entering the Heavenly Court and being appointed as an emperor had indeed brought Hongyun a lot of good fortune, and he also gained a powerful backer. However, after calculating the situation, Hongyun realized that things were not right and he seemed to have lost out.
He gained fortune and power from the Heavenly Court, but this was not what Hongyun wanted. Hongyun was someone who had obtained the Primordial Purple Qi. Even though he knew that Kunpeng was going to kill him, he still couldn't sit still in Wuzhuang Temple and ran away from Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple. The power of the Heavenly Court was really like chicken ribs to Hongyun, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
-
At the same time, while gaining good fortune, he also bore the burden of karma and had to fight against the enemies of the Heavenly Court, including the Styx River, the Celestial Court, and the Witch Clan. Just thinking about these gave Hongyun a headache. His first battle after joining the Heavenly Court was to attack the Styx River. With the Zhou Tian Star Array, it should have been a very easy battle, but in the end, they suffered a great defeat.
Ultimately, the great war ended with the Heavenly Emperors issuing a decree of self-reproach, but it is foreseeable that the struggle between the Heavenly Court and the Styx River will not stop, but will only intensify.
Is it still possible to stay in the Heavenly Court?
Styx is about to attain sainthood, so going against him is just asking for death. If Heaven wins this battle and stops Styx from attaining sainthood, that would be fine, but Heaven has lost.
Once Styx attains sainthood, will they still have a good life?
The disciples of the Dao Ancestor might at most suffer some minor setbacks, but what about those who are not disciples of the Dao Ancestor?
At that time, Styx will not even need to lift a finger to kill them!
