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

Chapter 196 Lao Tzu: We Can Only Wait

"To be honest, elder brother, I am also very puzzled. Styx seems to be completely invincible. What is wrong with him that has caused such a big gap between us and Styx?" Yuanshi asked Laozi with a puzzled look.

Yuanshi was quite certain that, in terms of foundation, none of the three thousand guests of Zixiao could compare to the Three Pure Ones. Logically speaking, even if the Styx River was formed from the essence of Pangu's blood and combined with chaos by chance, unlike the Twelve Ancestral Witches who had flaws, it shouldn't be so strong that they simply couldn't defeat it.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, with their twelve ranks, are only equivalent to the Three Pure Ones.

That battle outside the Chaos Heaven truly cast an indelible shadow over Yuan Shi's heart.

"Elder brother?" Yuanshi asked, seeing that Laozi did not respond.

"Second brother, do you think that if the five sages joined forces, they could contend with the Styx River?" Laozi did not directly answer Yuanshi's question, but instead asked it in a different way.

"Difficult," Yuanshi replied after a moment's thought.

"Firstly, Zhunti and Jieyin may not be willing to join forces with us. They are always timid and hesitant, and it is difficult for them to accomplish great things."

Secondly, given Styx's cultivation level, even if we were to add Zhunti and Jieyin, we would likely still find it difficult to defeat him.

The current situation in the Primordial World will not change much, at least until the end of this great calamity. After the calamity ends, I'm afraid Styx's cultivation will be even greater than before. At that time—" Yuanshi didn't finish his sentence, but Laozi understood the meaning behind Yuanshi's words.

not.

Faced with absolute strength and power advantage, even Lao Tzu would find it difficult to devise any effective plans at this moment. Moreover, just looking at Styx's astonishing merits, many plans were rendered useless from the very beginning.

"We can only wait." Lao Tzu looked up, his gaze piercing through the boundless space and time, through the chaos, and finally landing on the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Wait?" Yuanshi asked in surprise.

"Wait for a variable, or wait for the Styx to make a mistake," Lao Tzu sighed softly.

We can't win a fight, and we can't devise a plan. What else can we do?

We can only wait.

You can't keep going in knowing you're outmatched; that will only lead to more losses.

Inside the Pangu Temple.

"The Saint of the Styx." Dijiang, Houtu, and Zhujiuyin, the three ancestral witches, all paid their respects to the Styx.

-

"Yes, three Ancestral Witches, you have worked hard cultivating the primordial earth veins." Styx greeted the three Ancestral Witches he had brought into the Pangu Temple with a smile.

"Compared to the Styx Saint, we really can't say we've suffered much," Houtu replied, looking at the Styx River.

"Well, I have come today to resolve a major problem for the Wu Clan." Styx looked at Dijiang, Houtu, and Zhujiuyin before him.

For him, taking some time to have a heart-to-heart talk with the three ancestral witches before preaching to the human race was the most appropriate thing to do.

Moreover, it was in the Pangu Temple, a place where even the primordial Heavenly Dao could not interfere.

"Oh? I wonder what great calamity the Sage is referring to?" Zhu Jiuyin looked at the Styx River, momentarily confused about the Styx River's intentions. He looked at the Styx River and asked.

"Population," Styx said, looking at the three Ancestral Witches before him.

"The population growth rate of the Wu tribe is not fast enough. This must have always been one of the biggest concerns of the ancestral witches," Styx said, looking at Dijiang in front of him.

"Indeed." Upon hearing this, Dijiang was even more confused about Minghe's intentions. He looked at Minghe and replied.

If a saint like Styx made a special trip to bring them to the Pangu Temple just to inquire about the population reproduction of their Wu tribe, isn't that a bit too strange?

"What insightful opinion does the Sage have?" Houtu asked, looking at the Styx River with some surprise.

To be honest, Houtu couldn't imagine how to solve the population problem of the Wu tribe, but Styx was not one to speak without reason. Since he had spoken, he must have a solution.

"The solution to this great calamity for you all lies in the human race," Styx said calmly, looking at the three Ancestral Witches before him: Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and Houtu.

Before the three Ancestral Witches could ask any further questions, Styx's figure had already disappeared, leaving only Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and Houtu staring at each other in bewilderment.

After much deliberation, Styx decided to proceed with introducing the bloodline of the Witch Clan into the human race.

In the original primordial world, the Wu tribe also intermarried with the human race, giving birth to a large number of beings who possessed both Wu and human bloodlines. Although they did not have the powerful physical bodies of the Wu tribe, they were not inferior and had excellent potential.

Similarly, during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the human race with the bloodline of the Wu tribe still had a significant role to play. However, in the end, the Wu tribe withdrew from the scene. This was the result of the joint efforts of various forces in the prehistoric world and the tacit approval of the sages.

It can be said that in the original primordial world, the union of the witch race and the human race did not produce any good results for the human race, but now it is different.

The current Witch Clan embraces the Path of the Earth Immortals, a path that continuously brings merit, and it is particularly compatible with the Witch Clan. In the future, the Human Race will become the protagonist of the primordial world, and the Witch Clan's fortune will undoubtedly decline due to the Witch-Demon Calamity.

However, as the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, Styx did not want the path of Earth Immortals to decline. Therefore, he introduced the bloodline of the Witch Clan into the human race, which can also be said to have introduced the path of Earth Immortals into the human race.

When the Witch Clan discovers that the Human Clan can help them reproduce more quickly, the process of combining the Witch Clan and the Human Clan will gradually lead to a situation where the Witch Clan and the Human Clan are intertwined and mutually dependent.

When the demon race slaughters the human race, with just a little guidance, the twelve ancestral witches will surely take action. If Di Jun is caught by the twelve ancestral witches, he will suffer greatly.

The demon race will suffer to some extent, but this process will protect a large portion of the human race who cannot join Taoism and are protected as disciples of the Styx River, but who carry on the Taoist tradition.

More importantly, the Witch Clan is also in the midst of the Great Tribulation. This move only requires slightly guiding the Witch Clan's stance to help him leverage their strength and complete this plan.

In order to uphold the Way of the Earthly Immortals and the orthodoxy of Taoism, Styx has gone to great lengths.

Tens of thousands of years later.

In the primordial world, somewhere.

Styx sat atop the auspicious clouds of the heavens, his body radiating boundless golden light of merit. This boundless merit condensed into a "Radiant Sun," illuminating the primordial world and even dispelling much of the surrounding calamity.

At present, the people around Styx are mostly humans willing to listen to his teachings, and their numbers are quite large, following Styx's decree passed down by Mingxuan—

After that, among the human race today, almost no one who has cultivated the lineage transmitted by the Styx River and is qualified to come here wants to miss such a great opportunity as the sage preaching.
