Primordial Era: The true lineage of Pangu, which Styx River is this?

Chapter 194 A speck of dust thrown down by the River Styx, landing on the heads of all living beings in the primordial world, becomes a great mountain (1)

Yuanshi's words stunned Dijun and Taiyi.

After careful consideration, Di Jun and Tai Yi realized it was true.

The Styx River will never let them go.

"Moreover, if the human race wants to prove its status as the protagonist of heaven and earth, it must undergo this tribulation. You should know that the protagonist of heaven and earth must be proven by stepping over all the races of the primordial world, and the future of the human race will inevitably infringe on the interests of the demon race." Yuanshi looked at Dijun and Taiyi in front of him and continued, "At present, it is only natural for the demon race to slaughter the human race."

Cause and effect are a cycle, a fundamental principle of nature.

The rise of human fortune squeezed out the fortune of the witch and demon races, especially the demon race. Therefore, to some extent, the demon race's attack on human race was also within the bounds of cause and effect.

Of course, whether this will incur karmic consequences is another matter; after all, compared to the demon race, the human race is the darling of Heaven.

"As for Junior Sister Nuwa and my Senior Brother, please rest assured, fellow Daoists. Although we are no longer the Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court, we are still sages of the Primordial World and will never take advantage of the Heavenly Court's crisis." Yuanshi looked at Dijun and Taiyi and gave them his promise again.

As for Nuwa and Laozi, there's no need to worry. The fact that I'm telling you this means that Laozi has already agreed. As for Nuwa, let them persuade her.

Di Jun hesitated. He knew clearly that this was almost their only chance of survival, but this chance would come at the cost of challenging a sage, and not just one sage, which was certainly not a good thing.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's like drinking poison to quench thirst, but if given a choice, who would be willing to drink a cup of poison to quench their thirst?

However, the pressure that the Twelve Ancestral Witches put on the Heavenly Court was indeed too great. Just like before, even powerful beings like Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi who succeeded as Heavenly Emperors had the intention to betray the Heavenly Court. Given the current situation, what could they do?

What else can they do?

"This matter is of great importance. May the Sage allow us some time to consider it?" Taiyi asked Yuanshi respectfully when he saw Dijun hesitate.

"Very well, Heavenly Court is busy with affairs, so I will not keep Fellow Daoists Di Jun and Tai Yi any longer." Yuanshi looked at Di Jun and Tai Yi in front of him, without pressuring them, and said calmly.

The Primordial Layout is always arranged according to the general trend of heaven and earth. As long as the general trend of heaven and earth pushes forward to a certain stage, people under the Primordial Layout will naturally act obediently according to the Primordial's will.

Di Jun is hesitating now because he still has the opportunity and the right to hesitate. After a while, when he no longer has the opportunity to hesitate, he will know what to do.

More importantly, all of this was done voluntarily by Di Jun, and had nothing to do with him.

Saints are not bound by cause and effect. Now that Yuanshi has become a saint, he no longer needs to worry as he did before becoming a saint.

The underworld.

Above the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Styx River calmly gazes upon the primordial world at this moment.

"The Lich King's Cataclysm—" Styx murmured softly.

This unprecedented and terrifying catastrophe in the history of the primordial world is about to begin, and at this moment, Styx feels that his plan can be further improved.

The area that needs improvement lies in the human race.

Without a doubt, in order to fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun will probably have to slaughter the human race again to forge the "Witch-Slaying Sword". And now, without a doubt, if Di Jun takes this approach, the one most affected will be Nuwa, followed by him. Moreover, the impact on him will be more severe than that on Laozi at the same time.

After all, his actions and preaching were much more high-profile than those of Lao Tzu, who lived at the same time.

The Styx River knew about the demon race's massacre of the human race, and it also knew that this was difficult to stop, because ultimately, the current situation in the prehistoric world was all orchestrated by Hongjun, who wanted to ensure that the demon and witch races would perish together and that those who should leave history would disappear from the prehistoric world.

It can be said that the massacre of humans by the demon race was also orchestrated by Hongjun. Now that Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao, how could he possibly allow anyone to stop all of this?

However, if many of these humans are slaughtered, it will shake the fortunes of Taoism. Although it will not affect him directly, it will undoubtedly affect the absolute dominance of Taoism among humans.

This could give others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The Styx River is not intolerant of other lineages flowing into the human race, because it is simply unrealistic to stop them from doing so. In the original primordial world, Lao Tzu could only acquiesce to the Journey to the West and the eastward spread of Buddhism. Even later, Luo Zhan's lineage could find successors among the human race.

Even the Way of Heaven is not perfect, and so is its tradition.

But all of this must happen under the condition that Styx's lineage holds an absolute advantage and initiative among the human race. Styx is very certain that the Dao he deduces is quite suitable for the human race, not only because of his profound cultivation and careful deduction, but also because he can do all this from an unprecedented and unique perspective, that is, he was once a human being.

Only humans truly understand human needs; this is something that neither Lao Tzu, nor Zhunti, nor Jieyin could achieve.

"Or, to put it another way, how can we ensure the current vitality and foundation of Taoism without touching Hongjun's bottom line?" Styx frowned; this was no simple question.

After all, the connection between Taoism and the human race is too profound. The human race is the foundation of Taoism, and Taoism is the basis for the human race's existence in the primordial world. If this matter is not addressed until Di Jun begins to slaughter the human race, then he will inevitably have to intervene in the affairs of the primordial world on a large scale, and even interfere with the great calamity of the witch and demons, which is something that the Heavenly Dao absolutely cannot tolerate.

Of course, given his astonishing merits, there are some things he might do and that's fine, but before accumulating enough power, he can't expose himself like that. If he does, he will definitely be seen by the Heavenly Dao as a threat above the Three Pure Ones, and then he will probably have to take a blow for the Three Pure Ones.

After all, others might not know Hongjun's methods, but how could Styx, a transmigrator, not know them?

"I've got it!" Although he couldn't deduce the secrets of heaven, Styx quickly figured out the method.

"Mingxuan," Minghe called softly. Soon after, Mingxuan emerged from the void and came before Minghe.

"Greetings, Father God," Mingxuan said respectfully, bowing to the ground.

"Go to the various tribes of the human race and spread my decree. Ten thousand years from now, I will be teaching the Great Dao of the Mysterious Gate at Shouyang Mountain. At that time, I will select disciples by name," Styx said calmly.

"I obey the decree of the Father God." Mingxuan bowed again, looked at the Styx River, and respectfully replied before leaving the Netherworld and heading towards the direction of the Primordial Human Race.

Who says Taoism can't have all the immortals paying homage?

Of course, this alone is not enough.

We need to find a way to drag the witch clan into this mess.

Let those within the great eons resolve their own affairs.
