I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The ancestral home of humankind.

A thatched cottage in a small courtyard.

Li Yu gazed at the hundred or so clam maidens and fell into deep thought.

"Moang?"

"Yes, Xiaolong pays respects to the First Emperor of the Human Race."

What brings you here?

"Many thanks to the First Emperor of the Human Race for driving back the Heavenly Court and relieving the Dragon Race from its predicament."

Li Yu gestured for Li Yu to stop, saying, "The human race's defeat of the Heavenly Court was for the sake of the human race, and has nothing to do with your dragon race."

"Only clam maidens? What about the others?"

Moang was taken aback. "It's all here..."

Are you going to use this to test the sovereign? Which sovereign couldn't withstand this test?

"I appreciate your kind gesture, please take the things back."

"see a visitor out!"

Moang walked out of the courtyard, completely baffled.

hum!

The sea of ​​clouds in the void trembled slightly, and then a long river of blood swept in!

Then a cultivator appeared, riding on a twelfth-grade karmic fire lotus, carrying Yuan Tu and Abi on his back!

The intense and chilling killing intent made Moang tremble, and he quickly lowered his head and returned to the East Sea.

"The Styx River requests an audience with the First Emperor, the supreme ruler of the human race."

"please."

Styx pondered for a long time in the Sea of ​​Blood, but still did not send the beautiful Asura woman away.

Instead, they took out various refined essences and blood and presented them as gifts to the human race.

The Blood Sea is a vast treasure trove of the primordial world, where countless immortal bloods have gathered!

"Greetings, Ancestor Styx. May I ask what brings you to our human race today?"

Styx chuckled, "I've heard that the First Emperor led the human race to prosperity, and I've long admired him. Today, I've come to pay him a visit."

"And while we're at it, let's learn some governance techniques from the humans."

Styx frankly stated that he needed to learn a lot from the human race to create the Asura race.

The River Styx did not come from the air; it is a joy to have friends coming from afar.

Li Yu naturally wanted to treat him well.

The principle is to minimize enemies and maximize friends.

Since Styx is willing to befriend the human race, then he is an honored guest.

Li Yu took out the Supreme Enlightenment Tea, brewed a pot of tea, and said, "Ancestor, please."

Styx smelled the aroma and sensed that this tea was extraordinary. He took a small sip and was even more amazed!

My restless and troubled Dao heart miraculously calmed down.

Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, reach the utmost emptiness, and maintain steadfast stillness!

"Excellent tea!"

Styx suddenly realized that Li Yu was a wonderful person, not stingy at all when it came to entertaining guests.

Li Yu sat down with the Styx River to discuss philosophy, sip tea, and chat about everything under the sun.

Styx drank a cup of tea and suddenly sighed.

"Why does the ancestor sigh?"

Styx said helplessly, "My life has been like walking on thin ice. I have used every means to achieve enlightenment."

"I apologize to Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi for besieging and killing Hongyun, and I also apologize to the human race."

Styx raised his hand and took out the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag. "This treasure is my compensation to Fellow Daoist Hongyun, is that alright?"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "This Styx River is quite a character; his sincerity is commendable."

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, one of the Five Primordial Flags, is a top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, impervious to all magic and with unparalleled defense!

While drinking tea and discussing philosophy with Li Yu, the lamp in the depths of his heart, which had been dark for a long time, suddenly lit up!

And it's getting brighter and brighter!

Styx knew that if he wanted to have further conversations with Li Yu, he first had to settle his karmic debt with Hongyun.

After all, Hongyun was reincarnated as the Earth Emperor Lieshan of the human race!

Styx was also in a dilemma, reluctant to part with Xuan Yuan's water-controlling flag.

Reluctantly, the lights went out.

Even if it's a sacrifice, the lights along the way will shine brightly!

After much deliberation, Styx took out the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag as a token of his sincerity.

"Please pass this on to Emperor Lieshan on my behalf, fellow Daoist."

Li Yu smiled and accepted it. "Alright, then I'll act as a middleman for now. If Lieshan doesn't accept it, I'll return it to you."

Styx breathed a sigh of relief.

Styx was very sincere, and Li Yu also saw Styx's sincerity.

Then, when they began to discuss the Dao, there were no barriers between them, and they spoke freely.

Styx said, "Nuwa created humans, and I, this humble Taoist, also created humans."

"The Five Sages established their teachings, and I, too, established mine. It was a matter of timing and fate, but I was always just a little short of it."

"Over the years, the more my cultivation has progressed, the more I feel insignificant and envious of the boundless universe..."

"I was once spirited and arrogant, but gradually I became disheartened. Cultivating the Tao is difficult, so very difficult!"

Today was the first time that Styx had met Li Yu. He didn't want to say much, but his heart was filled with an increasingly dazzling light. Styx had a strong intuition that the hope for the path might lie here!

"Without becoming a saint, one is ultimately just an ant!"

Styx was filled with envy. "Fellow Daoist, to lead the human race out of the encirclement and achieve the status of the supreme human being, the saint of humanity, I truly envy you!"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "My attainment of sainthood was thanks to the support of millions of my people."

Li Yu then discussed philosophy with the Styx River for a long time.

Styx smiled, rose to take his leave, and said, "I will come again another day to discuss the Dao with you, fellow Daoist."

When Styx first came, his intention was to resolve the karmic ties between himself and Hongyun, and to get to know Li Yu.

Enjoyed talking.

We've already gained quite a bit; now we'll slowly delve deeper into our interactions with the human race.

The Styx River has waited for billions of years, so what's one more moment?

Li Yu rose to see him off.

The Styx River returned to the Blood Sea, and the dazzling brilliance deep within the Dao Path dimmed considerably, but it still shone!

A storm raged within Styx's heart, his Dao heart surged, and he felt a sense of relief, thinking, "Our Ancestor made the right move!"

After the Styx River departed.

Li Yu summoned the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as the ancestors of literature and military affairs.

Fuxi, Lieshan, Xuanyuan, Cangjie, Chiyou, and others all rushed to the thatched hut courtyard, smiling and greeting each other, "Brother First Emperor."

"Sit down, let's have a meeting."

In the courtyard, there are stone tables and stone chairs.

Li Yu sat in the main seat, while the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Ancestor of Literature, and the Ancestor of War took their seats in turn.

Li Yu raised his hand and summoned the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.

Fuxi was startled. "Hmm? The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag?"

When Lie Shan saw the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, he was also shocked, remembering that the Styx River had also participated in the ambush to kill him back then.

Everyone was curious: "How did the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag end up in the hands of the First Emperor?"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "The Styx River came just now, intending to break the ice with Lieshan and understand the cause and effect."

"This Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag is a gift to Lie Shan."

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag hangs in the air.

Li Yu looked at Lieshan, "What do you think?"

Lieshan pondered for a long time, "The old Hongyun is dead. I'm afraid the Styx River doesn't want to resolve the karmic ties with me, but rather it's wary of the human race."

Li Yu nodded and said truthfully, "Indeed, there is an intention to befriend the human race."

Fuxi, Xuanyuan, Cangjie, Chiyou, and others remained silent. This was because the cause and effect lay with Lieshan and the Styx River.

It is up to Lieshan to decide whether to end it.

After thinking for a long time, Lieshan let out a long sigh of relief. "Everything should be done with the human race in mind. The Four Saints are at odds with the human race, leaving the human race isolated and helpless. If the Styx River is willing to befriend the human race, it will benefit the human race's development."

"The cause of the past has led to the effect of today. If Styx and others had not forced Hongyun to self-destruct, there would be no Lieshan Earth Emperor today."

"Let's end our karmic ties with the River Styx here."

Li Yu shook his head, "Humans fear nothing! I have my own plans. Lieshan need not worry about humans before making peace with the Styx."

Lieshan smiled and said, "I understand what Brother Qin Shihuang means. Whether from the perspective of the human race or from the perspective of Hongyun, the cause and effect with the Styx River ends here."

Li Yu nodded, "Then we will do as Brother Lieshan says."

Li Yu pushed the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag towards Lieshan.

Lieshan pushed it back, saying, "Our people need it more."

"Please accept this, my dear brother."

Let's leave aside the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag for now.

Li Yu then began the second topic:

"Since the Styx River is willing to come closer, I intend to make it the second saint of humanity, completely binding it to the human race. What do you all think?"
