Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 391 Stirring Up the River of Cause and Effect!

Houtu smiled gently, "What rare guests! When did you two find the time to visit my dark and secluded place?"

Houtu was in a good mood because Zhao Gongming had told her that although Emperor Xuanyuan had won a great victory in the Battle of Zhuolu, he had not wiped out the Wu tribe.

Instead, they carved out a territory for the Wu tribe to live and multiply.

Because the Wu tribe and the human tribe intermarried, they gained the ability to reproduce on their own. And because of the war between the Wu and the Yao tribes, the Pangu Blood Pool disappeared, and they lost their ability to be the strongest in terms of physical body among all the races in the heavens. Instead, they gained a glimmer of hope.

They are currently living well in the Immortal Realm, in the Northern Continent of Luzhou.

"Your Majesty Houtu is joking. If this place is a dark and remote place, then what place in the Three Realms would dare to call itself bright? Besides, even if this place is dark, with Your Majesty here, darkness will turn into light."

As for Styx, he stood to one side, his body shrouded in malevolent energy, as if contemplating his next move.

"You certainly know how to talk."

Houtu smiled, then her expression turned serious.

"Speak, what brings you and Fellow Daoist Styx here this time?"

Zhao Gongming's expression turned serious as he said, "The Goddess Houtu controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation; she can examine the current situation in the human realm."

"What's the situation in the human world?"

Although Houtu did not understand, she nodded. The power of reincarnation spread and intertwined behind her, revealing the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, and the situation in the human world was immediately clear.

When Houtu saw so many saints incarnated in the human world spreading their teachings, she looked surprised, but soon seemed to have thought of something and tentatively asked.

"Did the sages preach in order to vie for destiny?"

Zhao Gongming nodded, "Your Majesty's guess is correct, indeed. With the primordial world shattered and transformed into the Three Realms, the saints have no place to use their talents in the Three Realms, so naturally they will have to use their abilities in the mortal realm."

Houtu was even more puzzled, and she spoke softly.

"But I have already seen the incarnation of the Supreme Saint in the mortal realm."

The implication is that the Jie Sect has already become involved.

Zhao Gongming immediately shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Houtu is mistaken. I came here with Fellow Daoist Styx this time."

Styx's lips curled up slightly, forming a strange arc, and he got straight to the point.

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, this is what happened."

Styx told Houtu all his thoughts directly.

Upon hearing this, Houtu covered her cherry-like mouth, unable to suppress the astonishment on her face. "The Slaughter of a Saint!"

No wonder Houtu was shocked; the words "slaughtering a saint" are a shocking event in the Three Realms, no matter where they are placed.

A sage remains unblemished through countless eons, untainted by cause and effect, and is eternally present with Heaven and coexist with the Dao.

Ordinary beings are too busy worshipping and bowing to saints, so how could they possibly think of killing them!

Only the Styx River existed since the beginning of time.

Only an old monster who has cultivated for countless eons would have such a heaven-defying idea.

Seeing the shock in Houtu's eyes, Styx's eyes seemed to hold an endless sea of ​​blood.

A trace of the law of slaughter emanated from his body, unparalleled in its killing power, capable of annihilating countless beings.

"I have been trapped at the Quasi-Saint level for countless millennia. The Investiture of the Gods, the Great War of the Saints, the shattering of the Primordial World into the Three Realms—everything is regressing towards the post-natal state. If I do not take action now, it may be too late. This is my last chance. Even if it is dangerous, I must try!"

Styx's voice was incredibly resolute, carrying the determination to abandon everything.

If successful, one will achieve perfection in the path of killing and attain the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

If we fail, the sage will be furious, but with the sea of ​​blood present, we will not necessarily perish.

Houtu's voice carried a hint of admiration, "I wonder who you plan to target?"

Styx chuckled lightly, "Then naturally we'll pick on the weak. My target is the Sage Zhunti!"

"Zhunti!"

Zhao Gongming chuckled lightly, "Speaking of which, it seems there's a history between Houtu Niangniang and Zhunti."

"You mean..."

Houtu's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and her expression gradually turned cold. "You mean back then?"

Zhao Gongming smiled and nodded.

Houtu understood; according to Zhao Gongming, there was indeed a past conflict between him and Zhunti.

At the end of the Lich War, the Lich and Demon races were locked in a standoff. The West, stirring up trouble, sent Zhun ahead to Tang Valley and released the Ten Golden Crows.

The ten golden crows ran rampant on Mount Buzhou, killing the great sorcerer Kuafu. In order to avenge his good brother, Kuafu angrily drew his bow and shot down nine of the golden crows, thus triggering the war between the sorcerers and demons ahead of schedule. Houtu naturally harbored resentment towards Zhunti.

"I will use the power of reincarnation to temporarily send you to the human realm, but the time will be limited. You can only stay in the human realm for a maximum of one hundred years."

Houtu thought for a moment and then spoke to the Styx River.

Although he is the Lord of the Underworld, he cannot openly defy the laws of heaven and earth; he can only make an easy passage for the River Styx within the bounds of those laws.

"A hundred years is enough!"

Styx nodded emphatically, "If this matter succeeds, I will owe Fellow Daoist Houtu an immense favor."

Seeing that Styx had agreed, Houtu naturally had no objections and directly led Styx to the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, six black holes rotated silently, emanating a rich aura of reincarnation that sent shivers down one's spine.

Houtu pointed her finger, and the supreme power of reincarnation landed on the black hole belonging to the human realm, which was originally spinning endlessly.

The black hole, which would not stop even if spacetime were destroyed, actually slowly came to a standstill.

Houtu looked at Zhao Gongming with her beautiful eyes, "Fellow Daoist Gongming, why don't you lend a hand?"

In fact, simply sending the Styx River into the human world wouldn't take much effort; Houtu alone could accomplish it.

Zhao Gongming's role was to conceal the secrets of heaven and prevent the sage from discovering them.

A Heavenly Sage can be omniscient and omnipotent in every inch of the Three Realms covered by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

If the saints knew that Styx had entered the human world, they would surely be suspicious, and it might even affect Styx's future plans.

Therefore, it is necessary to send the River Styx into the human world and stir up the cause and effect.

Zhao Gongming then unleashed the Thirty-Sixth Grade Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, releasing bursts of spatial power. Strands of spatial power spread, blotting out the sky and the sun. Within the Three Realms, all the laws of nature boiled over, Yin and Yang were reversed, and the threads of cause and effect were completely tangled. Even if a sage were to arrive in person, he would be unable to detect the direction of the Styx River.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, let's take action," Zhao Gongming said in a low voice.

Styx nodded, and with a thought, he transformed into a blood-red shadow and plunged into the entrance of the Human Realm Cave, disappearing in an instant.

At the same time, Houtu withdrew the power of reincarnation that she had placed on the human realm, and the human realm began to slowly rotate again.

"We're really in trouble with the Goddess Houtu this time."

Zhao Gongming thanked Houtu.

"If it weren't for your help, the Witch Clan wouldn't have been able to thrive in the Three Realms. I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet."

But then, Houtu's expression turned even more serious. "The Styx River, though a great god born at the dawn of creation, is still a risky undertaking to slaughter a saint!"

Zhao Gongming said casually, "Let him try. No matter how bad things get, with the Blood Sea there, he won't perish."
