Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 135 I am the Primordial Beginning, the Cause of All Effects

After the great war, the Lich and Demon races began to heal their wounds and rebuild their strength, and for a time, the primordial world became quiet.

However, this tranquility is relative; there are no large-scale wars, but the struggles between cultivators continue.

At the very edge of the primordial world, above the boundless sea of ​​blood!

Yuanshi sat upright on the sea of ​​blood, with boundless blood and evil energy flowing into his body, and some fragmented souls were also absorbed into his body.

Within the body, a world is being conceived and formed, and some souls, after being transformed by this world, begin to be reborn.

However, upon closer inspection, this world was actually filled with demonic energy. The powerful bloodthirsty energy was transformed into pure demonic energy after it entered the world.

Those fragmented souls, after being conceived, are born as pure demons.

Meanwhile, the primordial being in the outside world is also undergoing tremendous changes, transforming from being dressed in white to having black clothes and black hair.

In fact, changes in appearance are nothing to people in the prehistoric world; if they really wanted to change, no one could do it.

However, this change in the beginning was a change formed naturally by heaven and earth, and was accomplished by the changes of the Dao.

Just like the changes that Donghua made after creating the Eight Trigrams, these are forms bestowed by Heaven and Earth and the Great Dao, and cannot be changed by human effort.

This is also a characteristic of innate divinity. The Dao is in harmony with Heaven and Earth, and one is a kind of Great Dao in itself. Heaven and Earth are natural, and man follows the laws of nature.

The changes in the primordial state finally stopped at a certain moment. It no longer absorbed the blood and evil energy and the remnants of the soul, and its appearance was completely fixed.

He opened his eyes, and a demonic aura pierced through the sea of ​​blood, stirring up boundless waves.

"cut!"

A voice, seemingly from the ancient past, resounded above the sea of ​​blood. The Great Dao was bestowed upon him, laws flowed, and the Daoist essence permeated the sea of ​​blood.

Boundless demonic energy and evil thoughts surged out of his body, then flowed into a spiritual treasure, and finally transformed into the primordial evil corpse.

The evil corpse was dressed in black with black hair, surrounded by demonic energy, and its chilling bloodlust filled the sea of ​​blood, as if it were the master of this sea of ​​blood.

At this moment, Yuanshi returned to his previous appearance, smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and sighed, "The demonic path indeed has its merits. It is truly wonderful for slaying evil corpses, achieving twice the result with half the effort!"

"From this day forward, you shall be the Primordial Heavenly Demon, enjoying the destiny of the demonic path!"

The Primordial Demon nodded simply, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the Primordial Demon's body.

At this moment, a figure rose from the sea of ​​blood, dressed in red robes with black hair. It was none other than the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood, the master of piracy in the primordial world, Styx.

"Yuanshi, you are truly rebellious! As the direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, you actually cultivate the demonic path and absorb these fragmented souls. Aren't you afraid of the karmic consequences?"

After Styx appeared, he began to question Yuanshi in a cold tone.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi laughed heartily, put his hands behind his back, and loudly proclaimed:

"I, Yuanshi, am a primordial deity transformed from the primordial spirit of my father, Pangu. In this vast and boundless world, what is there that I cannot cultivate? Mere demonic paths are nothing to speak of!"

At this point, Yuanshi stopped, stood proudly, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "Cause and effect? ​​What is cause and effect?"

"I am the origin, the cause of all results; how dare all causes and effects bestow blessings upon me!"

Upon hearing this, Styx was deeply moved. Although he knew that Yuanshi was always arrogant and conceited, he never expected that he would be so arrogant as to disregard cause and effect.

You must know that if you don't become a saint, you will inevitably suffer the consequences of karma. How could Yuanshi be an exception?

Even saints are subject to karma. However, since saints act on behalf of Heaven, karma does not affect them personally. Instead, it is attached to the primordial world and all living beings. In other words, the karma of one person is borne by Heaven and Earth and everyone else.

That's what makes a saint so terrifying!

If Hongjun was already a saint before he shattered the Western Earth Veins, he would not have been subject to karmic consequences, and instead, all living beings would have to bear the karmic burdens for him.

"Yuanshi, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew when you say such things? How dare you be so arrogant!" Styx mocked after hearing this.

Yuanshi snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the Styx River, and said softly, "If you're not convinced, you can try again. Let's see if I can kill you."

Styx laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "Yuanshi, you rely on the power of your innate treasures, so I may not be able to defeat you, but can you kill me?"

"I am the Blood Sea and the Styx River, I have three thousand incarnations. As long as the Blood Sea never dries up, the Styx River will never die!"

"Don't even mention that you, Yuanshi, haven't become a saint yet. Even if you had, you wouldn't dare kill me!"

The confidence that Styx dared to say this came from the Blood Sea, which was the largest garbage dump in the primordial world. All the negative energy of heaven and earth gathered here, was transformed by the Blood Sea, and then returned to heaven and earth. It can be said that as long as the primordial world existed, it could not exist without the Blood Sea.

As far as heaven and earth are concerned, they can do without you, the Primordial One, but they truly cannot do without the Blood Sea, unless something can be found that can replace the Blood Sea's function.

Yuanshi narrowed his eyes, and a massive aura locked onto the Styx River. But as soon as it was locked on, the Styx River's aura vanished.

It can't be said that it disappeared, but rather that it was omnipresent, with the entire Blood Sea filled with the aura of the River Styx.

Even though Yuanshi is now a late-stage Quasi-Saint who has severed two corpses, he still cannot find out where the true body is. If he could, Yuanshi would really like to dry up this sea of ​​blood and then kill the Styx.

But clearly he couldn't, and in the end he could only helplessly say, "Styx, if you want to fight, then fight. Why waste words? If we don't fight, I'll return to Kunlun!"

Styx reappeared, snorted coldly, and stubbornly said, "It's not like we haven't fought before. I, your ancestor, can't beat you anyway, so why bother fighting? But you, Yuanshi, owe me this debt, and you must repay that karmic debt!"

When Yuanshi came to the Blood Sea to cultivate, the two fought. Styx was defeated by Pangu Banner and could only survive with the help of three thousand Blood Gods.

Yuanshi smiled indifferently after hearing this. He was not afraid of this cause and effect at all. The cause of the various effects he mentioned earlier was not just empty talk.

Since he has come to understand the Great Dao, he has been able to transform all causes and effects, allowing them to return to the world.

However, as someone who also listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, he couldn't really push things too far. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned to the side and asked:

"What do you want?"

Styx, standing on a crimson lotus of karmic fire and carrying two swords on his back, came before Yuanshi and said in a deep voice, "I cultivate the Great Dao of Slaughter, and all things under heaven and all living beings in the world can be killed."

At this point, Styx sighed and said helplessly, "In this way, it goes very smoothly when slaying evil corpses, but we find nothing good corpses. I have searched for a long time in the River of Destiny, but I have not found any good intentions. What can I do?"

After listening, Yuanshi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Good and evil are inherently without form, so how can they be distinguished because of the Great Dao? The end of good is evil, and the end of evil is good!"

"How can you, Styx, know that the evil you see is also good?"
