Primordial Era: The true lineage of Pangu, which Styx River is this?

Chapter 161 Burning Lamp: Styx Saint, I desperately want to improve!

After pondering for a moment, Hongjun stopped thinking about the Styx River. The reason was simple: in the end, the most important thing to deal with now was the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones.

So be it if Pangu was the one who came after him. Styx didn't have the merit of creating the world. Although he had more merit from the Heavenly Dao, it wasn't enough to coerce the Heavenly Dao. Besides, Styx was loyal to him. So what if Styx was Pangu's backup plan?

The Three Pure Ones were transformed from parts of Pangu's primordial spirit, so why did they become his disciples?

The Dao that we now embody, which is the Dao of self-sacrifice, is still a transformation of Pangu!

His ultimate goal is to attain the Great Dao; nothing else matters.

Moreover, he also possesses the demeanor of a sage. In the present primordial world, he is already a chess player. What chess player would pay attention to the subtle changes on the chess pieces?

The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot govern all living beings in the primordial world, so how could it govern such minute details? As long as the overall situation remains unchanged, that's enough.

The matter of Styx instructing Nuwa on how to create species naturally did not escape Hongjun's notice, but since this action also helped him complete his plan, Hongjun did not interfere.

He had already calculated the current situation: after his second ceasefire deadline, the overall strength of the demon race would be only slightly inferior to that of the witch race.

By then, the six divinely ordained saints will have all become saints, and He will intervene to restrict the saints from interfering with the Great Tribulation. The birth of the human race will also provide the demon race with weapons to break through the physical bodies of the witch race.

At the same time, in order to forge a weapon with leverage, the demon race will inevitably slaughter the human race on a large scale. In this way, the core of the demon race and all the races of the prehistoric world will owe the human race a huge debt of karma, and the merits that the witch race possesses at this moment will also be consumed by someone.

A perfect plan.

Meanwhile, the effects of Styx's ascension to sainthood have not yet completely dissipated.

Within the Celestial Court, seeing the endless stream of beings coming to seek refuge, the Eastern King Duke couldn't stop smiling.

The reason why these primordial beings came to seek refuge in the Celestial Court was quite simple: the Celestial Court was backed by the Witch Clan, which had just defeated the Heavenly Court in a great battle.

More importantly, Styx has become a saint!

Before becoming a saint, Styx was already renowned throughout the primordial world. After all, while all living beings were alive, they were all under Styx's jurisdiction after death. Now that Styx has become a saint, his power is even more terrifying. It should be noted that the Heavenly Court had previously offended Styx to death.

Who knows if the next great battle will be a struggle between the Heavenly Court and various powerful beings, or even a saint?

As for the great supernatural beings in the Heavenly Court, there were also four who possessed the Primordial Purple Qi—they couldn't care less about that now.

Previously, Styx had won too many times. Because Styx had been winning all along, many people believed that Styx would likely continue to win in the future. This had become a common mindset.

Meanwhile, in the Thirty-Three Heavens, beings flocked to the Heavenly Court in an endless stream.

For all living beings in the primordial world, this was a question of choosing sides between the Wu Clan and the Heavenly Court. Some people feared the Styx River and the Wu Clan and chose the Heavenly Court, while others could not bear the persecution by the Wu Clan and ultimately chose to gamble on the Heavenly Court.

And so, time passed little by little. The Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan, and the Immortal Court were all accumulating strength on a large scale. The calamity energy between heaven and earth also became more and more intense as the strength of the two major forces increased. Now, if you walk in the prehistoric world, you will be infected by the calamity energy and fall into the midst of battle if you are not careful.

More and more vengeful spirits are falling into the Netherworld Blood Sea, making it feel overcrowded—overcrowded with souls.

Styx surveyed the entire primordial world in an instant, and naturally knew the reason for the current situation in the primordial world: the Great Calamity, the Great Calamity. Without sufficiently profound cultivation, even if one closes one's door and quietly recites the Yellow Court Classic, ignoring worldly affairs, it is difficult to escape it.

Moreover, the Lich Calamity was basically the most widespread and involved the most living beings among the major calamities of the primordial world. Even the dragon race, which had already declined beyond recognition, could not escape this calamity.

When the calamity energy rises, the first to be affected are not the major powers such as the Witches, the Celestial Court, and the Heavenly Court, but the other living beings. In the boiling calamity energy, they can easily lose their minds and fall into endless slaughter.

The River Styx accepted all who came, properly settling these vengeful spirits in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

At that moment, something happened that even Styx found quite frustrating.

"Sage Styx, I admire your cultivation. I have come here today to ask to become your disciple and serve you by your side every day." At this moment, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Ran Deng looked at Styx with utmost sincerity.

Styx sat atop the Twelve-Petaled Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with the loyal Randeng before him.

Yes, utterly loyal.

The fact that Ran Deng had come to join him was genuine, just as it had when he had come to join Yuan Shi in the original primordial world. Styx knew that if Ran Deng harbored ulterior motives, how could Yuan Shi, a man skilled in scheming, tolerate him?

However, things are unpredictable. After the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect was destroyed, and although the Chan Sect was victorious, it was still a defeat. The Western Sect's fortune was rising day by day. In addition, it was not valued within the Chan Sect, and the opportunity to attain enlightenment was in the West, so it began to have thoughts about it.

Since Randeng had come to join them several times, it was really difficult to turn him away. After all, in the future, Styx also planned to establish the Underworld and the Sage Sect in the primordial world to share a portion of the primordial fortune. It wouldn't be good to give people the impression that he would turn away all those who came to join him.

Moreover, as one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao, Randeng certainly has abilities, but he cannot be placed in a position of too much trust.

"Fellow Daoist Randeng, please don't say that. You are my equal, and we both listened to the sage's teachings in Zixiao Palace. How can I accept you as my disciple?" Styx said, looking at Randeng in front of him.

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. Saint Styx, I sincerely wish to become your disciple today." Randeng looked at Styx before him and said with heartfelt sincerity. He had to be sincere, because anyone could see the current situation in the prehistoric world: a great calamity was coming.

Even powerful beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level have been drawn into it, their eyes blinded by the surging calamity energy, deeply entangled in cause and effect, unable to extricate themselves.

Randeng could see that this would be a cataclysmic event far exceeding the intensity of the previous calamity. In the previous calamity, how many beings were at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal or above?

Moreover, the most destructive battle in the primordial world was fought in the western part of the primordial world. This time it is different. Randeng has a premonition that without the protection of a sage, he may not be able to escape this great calamity.

In the present primordial world, the only sage who can help him escape the sea of ​​suffering of the great calamity is the Styx River!
