Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

On the other side, Donghuang sensed something was wrong and was about to head to the Blood Sea to provide assistance. But before he could take a step, Xihuang appeared before him.

Upon seeing this, Donghuang felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Styx was doomed this time, and no one could save him.

He only had two major allies: one was blocked by the three primordial races, and the other was blocked by the human race. Without allies, how could Styx possibly be a match for Ao Bing on his own?

"Styx, Styx, now it all depends on how wide your network is. If the gods intercede for you, you might still have a sliver of hope; if not..."

"Hey!"

Both the Eastern Emperor and the two Western Saints knew that the only way out for the Styx River was whether the gods were willing to save him.

No matter how strong Ao Bing is, he cannot go against the gods. Therefore, he cannot disregard the gods' authority. However, given Styx's temperament, it is unlikely that the gods will intercede for him.

…………

"kill!"

Although the Styx Ancestor knew he was no match for Ao Bing, he would not sit idly by and wait for his death. He unleashed the full power of his innate killing sword, even burning his own essence and destroying the sword, to unleash a power far exceeding that of a Primordial Chaos.

brush……

A sky full of crimson sword light swept across the heavens and earth, as if to pierce through the primordial world. The phantoms of demons that filled the sky above the sea of ​​blood were destroyed one after another under the sweep of this sword light.

However, it’s no use!

These demonic phantoms are manifestations of Ao Bing's phenomena. Unless he perishes, they can be reborn at any time, even if they are destroyed countless times.

Therefore, after shattering these demonic phantoms, the crimson sword light continued to surge, with an unparalleled spirit of slaughtering the world and eradicating all living beings, and fiercely slashed towards Ao Bing.

"It's not bad, but it's not enough!"

Ao Bing smiled slightly. When he saw the sword light coming, he neither dodged nor avoided it, letting it strike his body.

The sword light surged, shattering Ao Bing's physical body and primordial spirit in an instant. But in the blink of an eye, Ao Bing was restored.

The body of the Great Dao is immortal and indestructible.

Possessing the essence of all three thousand Great Daos, Ao Bing's physique can be considered the strongest in the primordial world. Although the Styx Ancestor was powerful, his strength was ultimately inferior to Ao Bing's. Therefore, even if he exerted all his strength, it would be difficult for him to harm Ao Bing.

"Styx, your time has come. Accept it in peace."

Ao Bing first used his physical body to extinguish the sword light, then stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed it down into the sea of ​​blood.

Instantly, heaven and earth seemed to freeze, and the river of time stopped flowing. Styx felt an unimaginable force assail him, rendering him unable to resist. He was firmly suppressed by this force deep within the sea of ​​blood, unable to move.

"Blow it up!"

Styx gritted his teeth and decided to fight Ao Bing to the death, attempting to self-destruct. Unfortunately, Ao Bing had anticipated this move. He saw stars twinkling in the sky, and a Zhou Tian Dao Diagram appeared, entering Styx's body and sealing his five senses and six consciousnesses.

In an instant, the Styx fell silent. No matter how powerful the Styx was, it couldn't compare to the grandeur of the starry sky. When Ao Bing decided to suppress it, its fate was already sealed; it couldn't escape being sealed away.

Because Ao Bing is not only stronger than Styx, but also has far more power to command. The two are completely incomparable and not even in the same league.

"Now I wish to transform the sea of ​​blood into the River Styx, which can be considered as fulfilling your destiny and planning a great merit for you."

After casually suppressing the Styx River, Ao Bing continued his attack. With a thought, the boundless sea of ​​blood began to shrink rapidly, and in just a few years, it transformed from an endless expanse into a spring ten thousand feet deep.

And the Styx River was suppressed deep within this spring.

"This……"

At this moment, the alarmed gods seemed to realize something, and all showed expressions of shock. The two Western Saints, on the other hand, were filled with regret.

They shouldn't have hesitated. If they hadn't hesitated and had directly told Styx about the great deed they were thinking of, this situation wouldn't have happened.

Indeed, what Ao Bing is doing right now is exactly what they were thinking.

It's even possible that they were the first to think of it, but hesitated for a while because of greed, thus missing out on this opportunity to do good deeds, which Ao Bing took first.

The merits were stolen because of your own hesitation. How can the two Western Saints not regret it?

Rumble!
As the sea of ​​blood shrank, the foul air accumulated within was further compressed, becoming even more viscous, and vaguely, it seemed as if some terrifying monster was being conceived.

At that moment, Ao Bing suddenly made his move, shattering Styx's physical body and primordial spirit, restoring it to a huge blood-red embryo.

Instantly, the foul energy within the sea of ​​blood seemed to find an outlet, surging towards the blood-colored embryo formed from the River Styx.

dong dong dong...

The embryo was pulsating, absorbing a large amount of impure energy, which was then transformed into pure primordial energy that rose outward from the spring.

At the same time, because the foul air was being devoured by the blood-red embryo, the originally dark red blood began to gradually become clearer.

The sea of ​​blood cleared, its waters gushing forth with primordial energy, spreading in all directions and giving life to the desolate underworld.

The River Styx!

River of the Underworld!

The clear water gushing from the spring, brimming with life, is the Styx River, a product of the further evolution of the Sea of ​​Blood.

The original function of the Blood Sea in containing impurities has been taken over by the embryo formed from the River Styx. Without the pollution of impurities, the Blood Sea will naturally become clear over time.

Furthermore, the foul air absorbed by the embryo is transformed into innate vital energy. The purified blood sea water mixes with it, becoming divine water containing innate life force.

Therefore, wherever it goes, even the desolate underworld is revitalized by its nourishment.

"By replacing the Blood Sea with the River Styx, and nourished by it, the environment of the Netherworld can be gradually improved, not only giving birth to life, but also becoming a sacred place for cultivation like the Heavenly Realm."

Seeing this, Ao Bing nodded in satisfaction. Who said there was no River of the Underworld? Here it is. The River of the Underworld is small now, only because it is newly formed. As time goes by, its size will surely grow larger and larger until it covers the entire Underworld.

In any case, the Styx River will eventually grow to a size no smaller than the Immortal River or the Heavenly River.

"Hey!"

The two Western Saints sighed repeatedly. The great act of merit they thought of was to transform the sea of ​​blood into the River Styx, but they were not as radical as Ao Bing.

After all, they were allies with the River Styx, and it was impossible for them to sacrifice the River Styx and use him as a tool to transform impurities. Therefore, their approach was gentler, and they planned to do it using an array.

But Ao Bing is different. He is not only not an ally of the Styx River, but also an enemy. So he has no scruples when he attacks and can directly sacrifice himself to the Styx River.

To be honest, sacrificing the Styx River is the most efficient method. After all, what kind of formation could be more effective than the Styx River, a powerhouse nearing the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm?

But it's too late to say anything now; they were too slow. "Alas, with Styx here, Fellow Daoist Styx's sacrifice was entirely worthwhile."

Seeing this, the other gods could only sigh and have nothing else to say about Styx's fate.

Asking Ao Bing to release the Styx River? Not only would Ao Bing refuse, but even if he did, Heaven would not allow it.

Because the Styx River, after transforming into a blood-red embryo, had a tremendous effect. With him present, the foul air that had always troubled the Heavenly Dao was no longer a threat, but a benefit.

Transforming foul air into primordial energy is a great act of merit that utilizes the primordial chaos. It can effectively promote the cycle of heaven and earth and prolong the lifespan of the world. Heaven will never allow anyone to disrupt this.

"open!"

As the gods were marveling at this, Ao Bing did not stop. He gently pointed in the direction of Tongtianze.

Suddenly, a huge hole appeared at the bottom of the Tongtian Marsh, and a large amount of river water rushed into the Netherworld through this hole, merging with the newly born River Styx.

Now, the primordial water veins have truly completed their cycle, unifying the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The waters of the Milky Way flow into the Tongtian Marsh, and then surge from there to the human world and the underworld. What else could this be but the great cycle of water veins?
"Star Lord, this is going too far. Although the Milky Way is vast, it has already reached its limit in supporting the human world. How can it continue to support the Netherworld?"

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor in Heaven expressed some dissatisfaction. Allowing the waters of the Milky Way to flow into the mortal realm and the underworld was essentially Heaven providing them with a lifeline.

The two realms did indeed benefit, but they were siphoning off the blood of the Heavenly Realm. In the past, the Jade Emperor was the ruler of the Three Realms, so naturally he didn't care about such things.

But he was about to abdicate and be demoted to the ruler of the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, he could no longer tolerate this practice of draining the Heavenly Realm's resources.

It's true that where you sit determines where you think; people have completely different ideas depending on their position.

"Haha, don't rush, don't rush."

Knowing that the Jade Emperor was anxious, Ao Bing chuckled. Then, he stepped to the edge of the River Styx, grabbed a handful of the Nine Netherworld Qi, and threw it into the river.

Instantly, the River Styx began to boil, using the energy of the Netherworld as its source, giving birth to a large number of fish and shrimp.

"This is a dragon species, which has form but no body, and feeds on the essence of the dark water."

Pointing to the fish and shrimp, Ao Bing said.

This is the dragon of the underworld, born from the mixture of the energy of the Nine Netherworlds and the essence of the underworld waters.

However, they have neither a physical form nor the body of a true dragon, but are in the original form of the true dragon, such as a fish, a shrimp, or a snake...

There are two paths to their evolution: one is to remain in the Netherworld, practice the method of refining the spirit, completely abandon the physical body, focus on cultivating the soul, seek extreme yang with extreme yin, and finally transform into the Nine Netherworld Dragon.

The Nine Nether Dragon is born from the essence of the Nine Netherworlds and roams freely between them. It can travel freely between the two realms. Although it has no physical form, it has the ability to blur between illusion and reality and can transform between reality and illusion at will.

Another method is to solidify the illusory. By feeding on the essence of the Netherworld Water, one gradually condenses one's illusory body until it is completely solidified. Then, one travels upstream along the River Styx, passes through the Tongtian Marsh, enters the Heavenly River, and transforms into a divine dragon of the Nine Heavens.

The Nine Heavens Divine Dragon is born bathed in the essence of the Nine Heavens. It roams freely in the Nine Heavens, possessing a powerful physical body and the ability to command thunder and lightning, summon wind and rain. It is the embodiment of all things.

The existence of the Nine Netherworld Dragons is to strengthen the power of the Netherworld. The appearance of the Nine Heavenly Dragons is to repay the gifts from the Heavenly Realm.

The moment the Nine Heavens Divine Dragons enter the Milky Way, the essence of the Styx River they carry will merge into the Milky Way to compensate for the loss caused by the Milky Way pouring into the Styx River.

Since it's a cycle of the three realms, the celestial realm can't be the only one to suffer. Both the mortal realm and the underworld receive the celestial realm's support, but at a price. This price is that most of the experts from both realms must ascend to the celestial realm to settle this karmic debt.

"not enough!"

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor's expression softened considerably, but he still felt it wasn't enough. The number of dragons in the River Styx was limited; even if they all transformed into celestial dragons, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the Heavenly Realm's losses.

"Your Majesty, you should broaden your perspective. The Netherworld is not only home to dragons, but also to countless spirits, who can also cultivate."

"Among the Five Immortals, there is a saying about Ghost Immortals. Since you all have descendants, why not let them use their own methods to establish the path of Ghost Immortals, so that the Yin spirits who are difficult to become saints may have a chance to ascend to immortality."

Ao Bing put one hand behind his back, first gave the Jade Emperor a faint smile, and then spoke to the gods who were watching.

There are five immortals in the world: gods, humans, and ghosts.

Currently, the Celestial Immortal Path exists, focusing on Qi cultivation, and is transmitted by the Three Pure Ones.

The Earth Immortal Path also exists, primarily focused on generating blessed lands and grotto-heavens, and was passed down by Zhen Yuanzi.

The path of the Human Immortals is based on martial arts, with a focus on body refinement, a tradition passed down from the goddess Nuwa.

The immortals are the gods of incense offerings, created and passed down by Ao Bing.

However, the path of the Ghost Immortal has yet to be discovered, and no one has yet created it. Although Ao Bing has some ideas about this, he has not put them into action.

To put it bluntly, now that he's in a high position, he looks down on these opportunities. Since that's the case, he'd rather save them for the benefit of future generations and also to enhance his own reputation.

In his youth, he wished he could have all the opportunities in the world. But as he grew older, he realized it was completely unnecessary. First, it would make him hated; second, it would damage his reputation; and third, it would cut off the path for those who came after him.

You should always leave some opportunities for future generations. If you take everything, what will happen to them?
"This is a great thing to say!"

Upon hearing this, all the gods' eyes lit up. Passing on the path of the Ghost Immortal would not only bring them good fortune but also fulfill the Jade Emperor's needs.

Because after the rise of the Ghost Immortal Path, a large number of Yin Spirits will inevitably ascend to the Heavenly Realm, which can further make up for the losses of the Heavenly Realm.

The gods don't care whether ghost immortals ascend to heaven; they only care how many spirits cultivate the ghost immortal techniques passed down through their lineage. The Jade Emperor doesn't care whose techniques the spirits cultivate; he only cares whether they can ascend to heaven.

The Jade Emperor and the gods all benefited, so they naturally agreed with Ao Bing's proposal.

"In addition, the heavens of the Netherworld lack the adornment of the sun, moon, and stars. Your descendants may also try to suspend the projections of the sun, moon, and stars above, thereby planning for merit."

Ao Bing continued, suggesting that these were trivial matters that he could easily accomplish, but for the younger generation, they might be rare opportunities that one might only encounter a few times in a lifetime.

Therefore, Ao Bing did not do it casually, but gave them up to help the younger generation.

This is the vision of the future Lord of the Primordial World!

"Great!"

The gods were even more delighted and praised Ao Bing. As for Styx, everyone had already forgotten about him. Having all benefited from Ao Bing, who would dare to mention Styx and cause trouble?

"With this change in the Netherworld, mountains and marshes will surely be born. I intend to divide them among the three races. I wonder if any of you have any objections?"

After giving the gods their benefits, Ao Bing proposed his own conditions: to hand over the mountains and marshes to the three clans.

The marsh is the great river, and the mountain is the forest. Scaled creatures love water, running beasts love mountains, and flying birds love forests; just right, one for each of the three races.

As for the land, it is assumed to belong to the human race. (End of Chapter)
