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

Chapter 276 The River Styx Rises (Please continue reading)

The Heavenly Emperor left the Heavenly Realm and returned to the human race. Regarding the matter of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he only discussed it with Suiren and two others. Apart from that, he did not tell anyone else. The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

"Your Majesty, do we humans need someone else to be our emperor? What kind of logic is this? I refuse to accept it!" Suirenshi said angrily, unable to understand this matter at all.

Zhisheng also spoke up, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, what are the Holy Mother and the teacher thinking? With so many people in our human race, aren't we capable of producing three sovereigns and five emperors? Why must we let outsiders take those positions?"

Emperor Tianhuang shook his head helplessly and said, "This is already the best outcome. The Holy Mother and Teacher are devoted to the human race, but there are five other saints. So things cannot be done according to the wishes of the Holy Mother and Teacher."

"Besides, since Fuxi and Hongyun want to become the Human Emperor, they must be in human form. After their reincarnation, they can only be human. So you shouldn't think too much about it."

Suirenshi and the others sighed. Although they said that, they were still very unwilling to accept this result.

However, it's worth it if it can make the human race the protagonist of the world. If the human race has a Hunyuan, it won't become a piece of the pie for many powerful beings.

Emperor Tianhuang said, "Alright, this matter is settled. After Senior Fuxi and Senior Hongyun are reincarnated as humans, you must treat them as true emperors of the human race. Treat them with sincerity, and no matter what their current status is, they will only be emperors of the human race in the future."

"I entrust this matter to the three of you. If I want to become the last human emperor, I need to reincarnate once more; otherwise, the human fortune and merit I gain will be very small."

After the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, he looked at the Earthly Emperor beside him and said, "Second Sister, after my reincarnation, I entrust the human race to you. You must not let the human race go astray. The primordial world today is no longer the primordial world of the past. With the Heavenly Emperor and the Six Sages here, no one can stir up any waves. Remember this well!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The group agreed. They were well aware of the current situation in the prehistoric world. The human race could only become the protagonist of heaven and earth and could not take another step forward. They could not achieve the accomplishments of the three innate races and the witch and demon races, otherwise they would face the calamity of extinction.

Having settled everything, the Emperor exuded an aura of power, his eyes sharp as he declared, "Now that everything is settled, it's time for our human race to show its teeth. Anyone who dares to bully us again will be killed without mercy!"

"yes!"

The human race has been dormant for a long time, secretly developing for quite some time now, and it is indeed time to show its strength, otherwise the other races will continue to treat it like a soft persimmon to be bullied.

As the Emperor issued his order, the human armies of all sides were quickly mobilized. Led by the Great Luo and Taiyi of the human race, the armies swiftly occupied the immortal cities, famous mountains, and rivers of various regions.

At the same time, all races also sprang into action, emerging from various heavens and remote corners of the primordial world to seize territory in the primordial wilderness.

The return of the Five Saints to their positions and the banquet in the Heavenly Court seemed to be a signpost. All races were no longer as timid as before, because they knew that this was the only chance, and they would fight for it regardless of winning or losing.

The battle for humanity has begun!

A grand and epic war between all races is about to begin!

……

Ever since the Three Pure Ones and others established their religion and became saints, Styx's heart could no longer be contained.

Within the Netherworld Blood Sea, Styx sat atop a twelve-petaled crimson lotus of karmic fire, below which were the Asura race listening to the Dao, their cultivation levels ranging from Great Luo to below Immortal Dao.

"...At this point, all paths are within the path of killing; Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, cause and effect, even creation and life and death can be killed!"

"Use the Way of Slaughter to achieve the Great Way, use the Way of Slaughter to create all things, and even the cycle of birth and death!"

Just as Styx finished preaching, a gray avenue descended, forming a large red hole behind him.

Within the Red Cave, all things manifest, and the heavens cycle through reincarnation!

The Styx River comprehended the law of reincarnation on its own!

"So this is the Great Dao of Reincarnation that Houtu comprehended; it is truly wondrous!"

As Styx comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation, he also understood why Houtu had come to the Blood Sea last time.

Because the Sea of ​​Blood is part of the Netherworld, and can also be said to be the true entrance to the Netherworld.

After understanding all this, Styx frowned. If he continued to cultivate the Great Dao of Reincarnation, he would be in conflict with Houtu.

However, Houtu had already comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation for tens of millions of years, which was beyond his reach.

However, Styx is indeed qualified to contend for power in the Netherworld, and even become the master of the Netherworld.

All of this was predicated on the fall of Houtu!

Thinking of this, Styx gave a bitter smile. Last time, he had fought a great battle with Houtu, and he was no match for her at all.

The power that the Blood Sea bestowed upon him was insignificant compared to that of Houtu. In fact, Houtu could also mobilize the power of the Blood Sea. With the two combined, the power that Houtu could draw upon far exceeded that of him.

Apart from that, they can only rely on their own power of the Great Dao to compete.

However, Houtu had already broken through to the peak of Quasi-Saint for countless years, while he was only at the late Quasi-Saint stage. How could he possibly defeat her?

Thinking of this, Styx's eyes gradually turned cold, and a powerful killing intent condensed in the sea of ​​blood, instantly causing countless remnant souls to vanish into thin air.

"Regardless of victory or defeat, there must be a struggle. Now that the tide of humanity has turned, the struggle for humanity is about to begin. How far away is the tunnel?"

"This is our last chance! As the patriarch who cultivates the Great Dao of Slaughter, how can I retreat!"

Styx's eyes were filled with determination. Having witnessed the strength of Donghua and the Six Saints, he was not content with his current strength. If he were only a Quasi-Saint, there would be no place for them in the future of the prehistoric world.

All that's left for them is this small plot of land. Then, when the immeasurable calamity arrives, either the world will be reborn and their chance will come again, or the world will be destroyed and they will remain in the chaos and small worlds, eventually being assimilated by the Great Dao.

This outcome was definitely not what Styx wanted to see, nor was he willing to accept such an ending.

"I've been afraid of death my whole life, and today I've only managed to get a mediocre position. But this time, I'm not afraid anymore. If I can't win, I'll return to the Great Dao and start over!"

Thinking this, Styx looked at the Asuras below and said, "The sermon is over. You must all cultivate diligently after you leave. The struggle for humanity is about to begin, and how can we Asuras miss it!"

"Yes, Ancestor! We will surely let the light of the Asura race shine throughout the primordial world, so that the world may understand the power of the Asura race!"

Styx laughed heartily. He had never questioned the Asuras' warlike, courageous, and capable nature. The Asuras possessed both the warlike spirit of the Witch Clan and the wisdom of the Demon Clan, and were proficient in all kinds of supernatural powers and magic.

He believed that none of the myriad races in the primordial world could defeat the Asura race, so he was full of confidence in this battle for humanity.

Styx rose from the red lotus, his feet planted on it, standing tall above the sea of ​​blood, his body radiating the Great Dao, and carrying the Abyssal Slaughter Sword and the Yuan Tu Sword on his back!

The next moment, Styx took out a black flag, which was the Asura clan's most precious treasure, called the Asura Flag!

Styx waved the Asura Banner, and the Asura clan's fortune bloomed, drifting above the sea of ​​blood and surrounding him.

The experiences of spreading the Great Dao over three thousand years emerged one by one, with immense fortune and educational power filling the heavens.

"By the Heavenly Dao, my mission of teaching and enlightening the world has now been accomplished. Based on the Asura race, I establish the Asura Cult to teach and enlighten all beings, and to save all sentient beings. I will use the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus to suppress the fate of the cult, as its treasure. I hope the Heavenly Dao will take note!"

As soon as the words fell, all the powerful beings in the primordial world sensed it and turned their gazes to the sea of ​​blood.

"Does the River Styx also want to establish a religion and prove its doctrine?"

This is a question on everyone's mind in the primordial world. Last time, when Styx imitated Nuwa to create the Asura race, he only gained some merit and did not step into the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Will Styx succeed in imitating the Five Saints in establishing a religion this time?

Everyone was focused on whether Styx would succeed, but no one mocked him. The path to enlightenment was incredibly arduous, yet Styx dared to do it and succeeded.

So what right do they have to mock the River Styx? In front of the River Styx, they are the ones who are subservient and obsequious.

As for whether Styx can attain enlightenment, only heaven knows!

High above, thunder roared, and the power of the Heavenly Dao permeated the air, eventually forming the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, which shone upon the Netherworld Blood Sea and the Styx's body.

The teachings of the Styx River were not from the heart, but he did them genuinely and did them very well, so the Heavenly Way naturally responded.

Judge by actions, not intentions; no one is perfect when it comes to intentions!

Regardless of Styx's purpose, as long as he does well, Heaven will naturally reward him.

The Eye of Heaven has been shining on the Netherworld Blood Sea and the River Styx.

Styx felt that all his secrets were exposed to the eyes of Heaven, and he was completely naked. This feeling was very uncomfortable, but it was a tribulation that he had to go through, otherwise how could he gain merit?

The Eye of Heaven appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast; after a brief glare, it vanished from the sea of ​​blood.

Styx took a deep breath and looked up at the heavens.

Above the nine heavens, as the Eye of Heaven disappeared, a vast expanse of Xuanhuang merit clouds formed, illuminating the sea of ​​blood.

Upon witnessing this scene, Styx was overjoyed. These merits were far less than those of the Three Pure Ones and others who established the sect, but they were enough for him to break through to the peak realm.

That's enough, after all, the Three Pure Ones and others are spreading the Dao throughout the entire prehistoric world and to all races, which is something he simply cannot compare to.

Styx had considered leaving the Blood Sea to spread the Dao in the primordial world, but he dared not do so. Doing so would be to steal the fortune and merit of the Three Pure Ones and the Bodhisattvas, which would be competing with them for the Dao.

This is something the Five Sages cannot tolerate, so if he dares to do it, they will send him to meet the Great Dao, since he doesn't have a master like Hongjun.

Moreover, he never thought he could bypass the peak and directly attain enlightenment, which was simply impossible. So he was already very satisfied with the merit he had now.

Above the nine heavens, the Xuanhuang Merit Cloud was divided into three parts. One part fell on the Asuras, one part fell on the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and eight parts fell on the Styx River.

Styx quickly accepted the merit and circulated the Great Dao throughout his body. With the Great Dao of Slaughter as the main one, the other Great Daos circulated rapidly, and the two corpses of good and evil emerged, carrying Styx's immortal and demonic paths.

The power of merit transformed into pure Dao power, circulating within the Styx River and driving its own Dao, its Quasi-Saintly might pressing down on the heavens.

"boom!"

A resounding Dao echoed between heaven and earth, covering the sea of ​​blood for billions of miles, and then spreading to the surrounding world.

Styx has successfully broken through to the peak of Quasi-Saint!

This step seemed simple, but it exhausted all of Styx's accumulation. However, it also successfully put him ahead of Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Fuxi and others, making him the first-class under Donghua and the Six Saints, and the highest peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Hahaha……"

The Styx River's raging laughter echoed between heaven and earth, filled with unbridled joy. But as the laughter subsided, a tear involuntarily fell from its eye, a tear tinged with heartache.

The Styx River slowly wiped away the tear it had shed, nurturing it with its own meager Dao of Creation.

"After you are born, you will be the child of the Ancestor!"

All living beings in the primordial world fell silent upon seeing this. Although Styx had not broken through to the Primordial Chaos Realm, he had successfully reached the peak of the realm.

What is the pinnacle?

That is, the highest level below Hunyuan, and also the realm closest to Hunyuan.

As for the realm after breaking through to Quasi-Saint, which Donghua calls the realm of Sub-Saint, this realm does not actually exist.

Breaking through to Quasi-Saint is the same as Hunyuan. The only difference is practicing the Great Dao and breaking free from the shackles of the River of Destiny. Otherwise, there is no difference between Hunyuan and Hunyuan.

However, Donghua chose the name "Second Sage" to distinguish himself from others.

Therefore, Styx is indeed now at the pinnacle of the primordial world, but only if Donghua and the Six Sages do not intervene.

Because in the eyes of Donghua and the Six Saints, the Styx River had only evolved from a small ant into a slightly larger ant, and there was no other difference.

In the Heavenly Realm, Donghua watched as Styx broke through to the peak of Quasi-Saint and thought for a moment before saying:

"Great Master of Fate, on behalf of the Heavenly Court, prepare a congratulatory gift to be sent to the Blood Sea. You will go there in person and experience the Dao of the Styx River. The Dao of Slaughter, the Dao of Reincarnation, and your Dao of Life and Death are similar in essence. I hope you can find another path and break through to a higher realm as soon as possible!"

Donghua has already given Da Siming private lessons several times, which means he has taught her the Dao in private, but this is still not enough for Da Siming to break through to the next level, unless Da Siming stops cultivating her own Dao and cultivates according to Donghua's Dao.

In this way, the Great Master of Fate can break through to the next realm quickly, but that's the limit of his potential. He will only ever be a late-stage Quasi-Saint.

The High Priest said with shame, "Great Heavenly Venerable, I have failed your expectations!"

Donghua smiled nonchalantly and said, "I've told you so many times, call me elder brother in private. I've watched you and Taihua grow up, so how can you say I've let you down? Just focus on being the Great Emperor Qinghua, cultivate diligently, and don't overthink it!"

The Grand Commander nodded. He was a man of few words, and calmly said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down. I will make the position of the Six Emperors truly deserved!"

He knew that even if his cultivation level was not high enough, Donghua would still make him one of the Six Emperors. Although others might not dare to say anything on the surface, they would definitely say in private that Donghua was being unfair.

After all, the Heavenly Court of today is no longer the Purple Palace of the past. The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court of all living beings in the prehistoric world, the Heavenly Court that manages the prehistoric world, while the Purple Palace is the Purple Palace of Donghua. There is a huge difference between the two.

He didn't want others to say that Donghua was unfair or that Donghua was too selfish.

"Brother, you go ahead with your work. I'll prepare a gift and then head to the Blood Sea!"

Donghua nodded and said, "Go. Once you reach the Sea of ​​Blood, don't be afraid of anyone. Behind you is the Heavenly Court, and behind you is me!"

"yes!"
