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

Chapter 280 Reincarnation, Dividing the spoils

Above the sea of ​​blood, killing intent permeated the air, and the fighting spirit soared to the sky. This was a situation that neither side wanted to see, but now that it had come to this, neither side would show any mercy, and neither side had any way out.

If Styx chooses to retreat after being attacked at his doorstep today, how will he survive in the prehistoric world and how will he compete for the dragon among humans?

Needless to say, the Wu tribe and Houtu were also involved!

"Houtu, I'll give you one more chance. Leave now, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

Styx endured the burning of karmic fire. He was in very poor condition. Houtu's last arrow was too powerful. He knew that if he continued to fight, he would surely perish today, but he had no other choice.

Faced with Styx's questioning, Houtu said nothing. Things had come to this point, and there was no other way but to fight!

Both sides were filled with murderous intent, waiting for a command to begin their battle.

The Witch Clan wanted to change their stagnant state, while the Asura Clan wanted to emerge into the world. This was also the first battle since the Asura Clan was founded.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a deadly battle, a golden light descended from the sky and landed in the center of the two sides. The light flowed with Daoist charm and the Dharma image was majestic. Its powerful aura instantly calmed the surging sea of ​​blood and suppressed the fighting spirit and killing intent of the two races.

The visitor was none other than Donghua!

"Greetings, Great Heavenly Emperor!"

Donghua nodded in acknowledgment, then looked around and gave a slight nod to Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and the others. He then looked at Styx and Houtu and said:

"Fellow Daoists, would it be possible, for Donghua's sake, to temporarily cease hostilities and sit down for a proper discussion?"

"If you truly cannot reach an agreement and there are irreconcilable conflicts, neither Donghua nor the Heavenly Court will intervene further. You two should resolve the issue in your own ways!"

As Donghua finished speaking, the entire Blood Sea fell silent, and the onlookers began to try to break up the fight.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Styx, Fellow Daoist Houtu, let's sit down and talk things over. If we really can't reach an agreement, then it's not too late for a decisive battle!"

"Fellow Daoists, the primordial world has just ended a war and urgently needs stability. I urge you not to hastily start another war!"

"..."

For a time, most people started to mediate between the two, mainly because they all understood that with Donghua's arrival, this battle would be very difficult to start unless there was an irreconcilable hatred between them that would make them not even give face to the Hunyuan Heavenly Emperor.

As expected, after some thought, Styx said, "Since the Great Celestial Venerable has spoken, I am not an unreasonable person and am willing to listen to the Great Celestial Venerable's words!"

Houtu readily agreed, "Good!"

Donghua smiled lightly and waved his hand casually. A table appeared above the sea of ​​blood, along with eight futons. Pure white lotuses emerged, and Donghua immediately sat down on them.

Styx and Houtu exchanged a glance and instantly understood that others were to be invited today, so they sat down in the two lowest seats.

After Houtu sat down, she looked at Donghua with a slightly worried expression, wanting to know what had happened. She and Donghua had already made an agreement on the matter of reincarnation, so why were other people involved?

Donghua nodded gently, indicating that Houtu didn't need to worry, and then took out the tea set and began to brew tea.

Seeing Donghua's expression, Houtu felt relieved and began to heal her wounds.

The same is true for the River Styx on the other side!

Donghua calmly brewed the tea, and before long, nine cups of spiritual tea were ready. He then gestured for Houtu and Minghe to drink the tea.

Neither of them refused; after thanking them, they drank it all in one gulp.

As the tea entered their stomachs, the two were enveloped by a powerful force of the Great Dao. The power of reincarnation within Styx's body instantly dissipated, leaving only a wound on his chest.

Although the wounds inflicted on Houtu by the Great Dao have not fully healed, they have returned to their original state, or even improved.

Upon seeing this, the two immediately stood up and bowed to Donghua to express their gratitude.

Donghua chuckled lightly and said, "To paraphrase Zhunti, this is a case of reaping good results from good deeds. Since you've given me face, this is nothing!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he poured spiritual tea into the teacups in front of the other six futons.

Just as the tea was poured, a phoenix's cry was heard, and Nuwa descended from the sky. After everyone paid their respects, they sat down on a prayer mat.

As soon as Nuwa sat down, a purple aura appeared from the east, stretching for 30,000 li. This was an unusual sign of a sage's journey, and Taishang and Tongtian arrived riding oxen.

The Supreme Being's mount was a blue ox with flat horns. It was a type of rhinoceros with bluish-black fur and a single horn that stretched straight up to the sky, also known as a flat horn.

The Green Ox with Horns is a rare and auspicious beast from the primordial era. Later, after the Green Ox clan joined the demon clan, the Green Ox with Horns also became a demon.

Tongtian's mount is the Kui Niu, also known as the Five-Colored Kui Niu or Kui Niu. The Kui Niu is surrounded by five-colored clouds, and its two horns resemble crescent moons. There is also the Eight Trigrams manifested in the middle of its forehead.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Taishang and Tongtian also sat on the prayer mats.

Donghua looked at Tongtian's mount with great interest. He was slightly curious about the Bagua in the middle of Kui Niu's forehead, after all, he was the one who created the Bagua, and how the Kui Niu clan had gained the Bagua's approval.

After drinking the spiritual tea, Tongtian looked at Donghua and said, "Junior Brother Donghua, are you curious about the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) on my mount's forehead?"

"Please enlighten me, senior brother!"

Tongtian said, "Speaking of which, this Kui Niu and you, junior brother, have quite a connection. I met this Kui Niu on the East Sea when I was traveling through the prehistoric world."

"In the past, during the great battle in the Purple Mansion, Junior Brother Donghua combined the power of ten thousand immortals and used the Eight Trigrams to fight against Dijun's Zhou Tian Xing Dou. This Kui Niu was born after he watched Junior Brother's Eight Trigrams Dao at that time and gained some understanding of it."

Donghua nodded, his discerning eyes piercing through the Kui Niu, and the whole story instantly became clear.

"Your mount, Senior Brother, is quite good; it has great potential. Since we are destined to meet, I will give it to you so that you may attain the Great Luo realm soon!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he took out an iron rod and gave it to Kui Niu, saying, "This was forged in my Hunyuan Cauldron and is called the Hunyuan Iron Rod. Its material is the North Sea Black Iron, which is extremely hard and can be your weapon."

The Kui Niu immediately transformed into human form, respectfully accepted the weapon, and bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for the great Heavenly Venerable's gift; this humble immortal is deeply grateful!"

Tongtian said nothing upon seeing this, but simply gestured for Kui Niu to step back. The group sat together and, instead of discussing any serious matters, began chatting idly with laughter.

Houtu below could sit calmly, but Styx felt as if ten thousand ants were crawling all over him, causing him extreme discomfort.

Because he still doesn't know what happened, but it must be related to Houtu in the Blood Sea, otherwise these people wouldn't have come.

"I don't know if today is a blessing or a curse!"

Just as the Styx River was grieving, in the west, rosy clouds shone and purple mist filled the sky.

"They're here!" Donghua said softly.

As expected, Jieyin and Zhunti sat on lotus thrones, while Yuanshi Tianzun arrived riding a mythical creature.

Donghua glanced at Nuwa out of the corner of his eye, and the two smiled at each other.

"You were right again. The Three Pure Ones are indeed colluding with these two." Nuwa's voice echoed in Donghua's mind.

Donghua calmly transmitted his voice, "It's alright. When it comes to reincarnation, it's not about who has more people involved!"

With the appearance of Jieyin, Zhunti, and Yuanshi Tianzun, Donghua finally had all the people he was waiting for. As for the matter of reincarnation, he could not possibly keep it to himself, nor could he avoid the Three Pure Ones and others.

So why don't we sit down and talk? Anyway, all the arrangements have been made. Even if the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti collude, or even if Nuwa is added to the mix, Donghua is not afraid.

Taishang said softly, "Junior Brother Donghua, now that everyone is here, shall we speak or shall I?"

Donghua slowly drank a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Since the beginning of the primordial world, Father God Pangu transformed into all things, and among them, the Great Dao formed the three paths of the primordial world, heaven, earth, and humanity."

"The Way of Heaven is supreme and has now reached perfection. The opportunity for the Way of Humanity to reach perfection has also appeared. Only the Way of Earth remains. For the Way of Earth to reach perfection, there must be the cycle of all things in the Way of Humanity, so that all things in the world can continue to thrive."

At this point, Donghua looked at Styx and said, "Fellow Daoist Styx, when the Father God created the world, he left behind the Blood Sea, a place of filth and defilement, which is the gathering place of primordial evil energy, the place of reincarnation, the true entrance to the Netherworld, and also a part of the Netherworld."

"Fellow Daoist Houtu is able to mobilize the power of the Blood Sea precisely because she is the master of the Earth Realm. Theoretically speaking, she is also the master of the Blood Sea."

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Styx fell into deep thought. After a moment's consideration, he asked, "Will reincarnation affect my Blood Sea?"

"Reincarnation is reincarnation, and the Blood Sea is the Blood Sea; the two are unrelated. Therefore, there is no negative impact whatsoever. On the contrary, it brings great benefits, allowing the Blood Sea to live up to its name and reducing the power of the Great Calamity!"

Styx asked again, "How will Houtu open the cycle of reincarnation?"

"This is the way of Fellow Daoist Houtu. When the time comes, the Heavenly Dao will respond, and destiny will be predetermined!"

After asking his two questions, Styx fell into deep thought again, clearly engaged in a fierce internal struggle. He looked up at Houtu and, after a long while, asked, "Could this humble Daoist also invoke reincarnation and become the master of this realm?"

A silence fell over the room upon hearing the question. Donghua Qing smiled and said, "Of course!"

"However, you are the candidate, and you no longer have the chance. If you are the first person to comprehend the Great Dao of Reincarnation, then the matter of reincarnation should fall upon you."

Donghua had nothing to hide, nor did he need to. Everyone here was a powerful being, and even if he didn't say anything, Styx would understand.

Styx looked bitter. With a slight movement of his hand, the Great Dao of Reincarnation appeared, albeit weakly.

He then rose, bowed, and asked, "Great Heavenly Venerable, esteemed sages, Styx is single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, seeking only the Primordial Great Dao. However, since breaking through to the peak, he feels that the road ahead is uncertain, which is why he has the idea of ​​competing with the dragon in the human realm."

"Now that the underground passage is about to be fully realized, I wonder if the Styx River will have the opportunity to attain the Primordial Chaos?"

This question is actually easy to answer. The answer is yes, because the Styx River is very suitable for the authentic Hunyuan (primordial chaos) realm, or rather, it was born for this purpose.

However, everything in the world is subject to change. There are no predetermined people or predetermined events. Even if Donghua and the Six Sages do not want Houtu to be reincarnated, they can still stop it.

Reincarnation is the inevitable trend!

However, the reincarnation of Houtu is not the general trend!

The variables that allowed Styx to prove the Dao of Hunyuan through the underground path were the Six Sages and Donghua.

Donghua looked up at the Three Pure Ones and then at the Two Sages of the West, but none of them showed any expression, their eyes tightly closed, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

"There's an opportunity, it's possible, and it's also a good fit!"

Donghua wasn't afraid of making a big deal out of it, so he told the truth!

These words indeed fueled Styx's ambition.

Styx asked excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Donghua, can this really succeed?"

Donghua smiled but didn't say anything.

Styx then realized that he had been impolite and abrupt. How could he possibly achieve the Dao of Hunyuan so easily? But if he really had the chance, he would definitely seize it.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, esteemed Sages, since Fellow Daoist Houtu has come for the sake of the Primordial Reincarnation, this humble Daoist will naturally not say anything more. Now, let Fellow Daoist Houtu display her abilities, and this humble Daoist will not stand in her way!"

Styx was also quite sensible. Now that Donghua and the Six Sages were trying to persuade him, if he didn't give in, then only death awaited him, and perhaps real death!

Even if I had 30,000 or 300,000 Blood God Children, it wouldn't be enough to kill the seven people in front of me!

Seeing the Styx River loosen its grip, the group opened their eyes, for the main event was just beginning.

After saying "Good, good," Zhunti waved his hand and dismissed Minghe Qing, as he did not need to participate in what followed.

Just as Zhunti was about to strike and repel Houtu, Donghua blocked his attack.

"Junior Brother Zhunti, if even the main character can't participate, it's rather unseemly. Besides, Fellow Daoist Houtu's actions are of great merit!"

Seeing this, the others could only let Houtu stay. Taishang spoke up, saying, "Junior Brother Donghua, the matter of reincarnation concerns the entire primordial world. What are your plans?"

Donghua smiled and said, "Senior Brother, what do you have to say?"

The Supreme Lord said, "Fifty percent!"

Donghua laughed and joked, "Senior Brother Taishang's eating habits are even worse than Junior Brother Zhunti's. If that's the case, then you can go and create Samsara. I don't want a single centimeter; you can have it all!"

Donghua's sarcasm seemed to sink without a trace, and Taishang showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke, "Since that's the case, then forty percent will do. That's the bottom line!"

Just as Donghua was about to say something, Zhunti spoke up, "I agree! The West wants 30%!"

As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, Yuanshi said, "I agree!"

Nuwa looked at the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti with amusement. These people were too ruthless. They took away 70% of her body in an instant, leaving only 30% for her, Donghua, or rather, Houtu.

Donghua also glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti, his eyes filled with a deeper meaning. He knew that his sweet time with Jieyin and Zhunti was about to end, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

These two are truly only interested in profit and show no mercy whatsoever.

But this is for the best; it gives us a reason to plot against the West or turn against them in the future.

After all, it was you who was ruthless first!

Thinking of this, Donghua's face showed anger as he looked at Jieyin and Zhunti. The pressure of the mid-stage of the third level of the Hunyuan Realm pressed down on the two of them, and a powerful killing intent locked onto them, making them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Zhunti was only at the mid-stage of the second level of the Hunyuan Realm, but he was directly locked in by Donghua's aura. He felt an immeasurable power sweeping over his entire body, making it extremely difficult for him to move or breathe.

Jieyin was alright, he could still endure it, but he was powerless to help Zhunti.

Time passed slowly, and beads of sweat began to appear on Zhunti's forehead, and even his breathing became much heavier.

Just as Zhunti was about to succumb to Donghua's pressure and was about to make a move, Taishang waved his whisk, and then Yuanshi Tianzun also made a move. The two of them joined forces to interrupt Donghua's pressure.

Donghua snorted coldly, glared at the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti, and then said in a deep voice, "Since the three senior brothers and two junior brothers have already discussed it, then I will say nothing more!"

Donghua stood up, looked at Houtu, and asked, "How much longer do you need?"

Houtu thought for a moment and said, "I need to adjust my own state to better sense the power of the Blood Sea and let the power of the Netherworld merge into this place. This will take some time."

Donghua nodded and said, "In that case, go ahead and unleash your power; I'll protect you!"

Houtu hummed in agreement, got up and went to the center of the sea of ​​blood, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate the Great Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of Earth.

Donghua stood guard to the side!
