The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

"Fellow Daoist, you are attached to appearances. All choices are gifts from fate."

Even if you go mad over it, what can you do?

"Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp, it's all for survival, there's no right or wrong."

"You have family and friends, and so do the demon race."

"The fact that we've reached this point is beyond our control."

"I don't want to fight either. I want my people to live in peace and happiness."

"But I can't do it. The primordial world doesn't belong to me alone, nor to my clan."

"All choices are nothing more than natural selection, survival of the fittest!"

Qin Tian's long string of words left Houtu speechless.

This direct and insightful exchange also led Qin Tian and Hou Tu into a state of enlightenment.

As the sun rose and set, and no one knew how much time had passed, Houtu seemed to suddenly understand something. A divine light shot from her eyes, and she walked out of the human-shaman tribe step by step, heading firmly in one direction.

A day later, Qin Tian woke up and found no one beside him. There was no trace of Hou Tu in the tribe. He couldn't help but look at the great shaman Hou Yi who was guarding the place.

"Lord Qin Tian, ​​the Goddess Houtu left the tribe after waking up yesterday."

Did she tell you anything?

"No," Hou Yi shook his head.

"She walked in that direction."

"West side."

Qin Tian nodded slightly, then activated his profound technique, transforming into a rainbow of light and heading west.

The primordial world is vast, stretching as far as the eye can see. It would be difficult for an ordinary cultivator to travel from south to north in their entire life.

But for Qin Tian, ​​the world is his domain, and he can reach it in a moment.

Qin Tian was terrified of Hou Tu, and after a disagreement, he was banished from the cycle of reincarnation.

Although, this is what he wanted to see.

But what he wanted was the underground cycle of reincarnation he had planned, not the six paths of reincarnation created by Houtu's passionate blood.

Although the difference between the two is only one word, the gap between them is the difference between the Way of Heaven and the Great Way.

The westernmost part of the primordial world is the Netherworld Blood Sea, which was formed from Pangu's umbilical cord and absorbed the foul blood of countless dead beings, making it the most polluted place in the primordial world.

It is also a well-known forbidden area for cultivators in the primordial world; no one would be foolish enough to come here.

However, it is also the training ground of a great master.

He imitated Nuwa's creation of humans and became a saint, creating the Asura race, establishing the Asura Cult, and calling himself the Lord of the Styx River.

He stood on the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, wielded the Yuan Tu and A Bi, two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and carried the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, one of the Five Innate Flags, on his back.

Whether it's supernatural powers and techniques, or inherited treasures, they are all top-tier existences in the primordial world.

Qin Tiansheng was afraid that Houtu would suffer a loss if she faced him alone.

Unconsciously, he exerted all his strength, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, and arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea in just a quarter of an hour.

Upon seeing Houtu, Qin Tian was delighted to find that the Lord of the Styx was still negotiating with her.

Fortunately, they made it in time; their negotiations hadn't broken down yet, and there was still room for things to be resolved.

Qin Tian's sudden arrival undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Styx Master and Houtu.

After Styx founded the Asura Cult, he had already severed both the good and evil corpses, and was only one step away from severing all three corpses.

He could clearly feel that when Qin Tian arrived, the heavens and earth were united with him.

Mobilizing the power of heaven and earth is something that even a Great Luo Immortal or a Quasi-Saint can do, but that's just borrowing power; it's far less effortless than what Qin Tian achieved.

The Lord of the Styx was not stupid; he could see that Qin Tian and Houtu had a close relationship.

Thinking of Houtu's purpose in coming here, the Styx Lord silently manipulated the Blood Sea and began preparations for battle.

After merging with the Heart of Pangu, Qin Tian became very sensitive to changes in the power of heaven and earth.

He noticed the Styx Lord's movement as soon as it occurred.

Qin Tian did not want to antagonize the Lord of the Styx; on the contrary, he wanted to win him over and have him act as Houtu's henchman.

So he shouted loudly, "Master, there's no need to get agitated. Qin Tian has come here with no intention of making a move."

"I have come to offer this opportunity to the leader."

"Hmph!" The Lord of the Styx gave a forced, insincere snort: "Qin Tian, ​​do you think I'm a fool?"

"You and Houtu are clearly on the same side. Houtu wants my Blood Sea to sever the foundation of my Asura Cult."

"You say you're offering me an opportunity? Do you really think you'd be willing to harm Houtu for my sake?"

"Master, I already said I was giving you an opportunity, why are you bringing up fighting and killing again?"

"Master, are you truly content to forever guard this Netherworld Blood Sea, misunderstood by the world?"

"Haha," the Lord of the Styx laughed twice, "What do the world's slander have to do with me?"

"This leader is not like those two Westerners who pretend to be virtuous even when they are being prostitutes."

"This leader is capricious and capricious, and has never cared about empty fame."

"A mere title—the leader may not care about that, but what about the holy position?"

The Styx Lord's expression changed instantly; the position of Saint was a perpetual source of pain for him.

Back when he listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, he had the strength and the opportunity to seize a saintly position.

But because of his own personality, he missed out on it.

Upon hearing Qin Tian mention the holy position, the Styx Master assumed Qin Tian was mocking him and angrily shouted:

"Human brat, do you really think that I, the leader of this sect, dare not kill you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two bright red divine swords flew out of the sea of ​​blood and landed in Styx's hands.

The overwhelming murderous aura made Houtu unable to resist the urge to attack the Lord of the Styx.

As one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Houtu has never lacked the determination to kill; her mercy is only visible to her own people.

Qin Tian never expected that his mention of the Sainthood would provoke the Styx Master to such an extent.

But this only strengthened his resolve to win over the Lord of the Styx.

Qin Tian grabbed Houtu's hand, shook his head at her, then stepped forward and shouted at the Styx Master:

"Master, I come with good intentions, but that does not mean I am weak and easily bullied."

"If the leader insists on a fight before he will speak properly, Qin Tian is willing to fight the leader."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tian made no attempt to conceal his aura. In an instant, his blood energy surged to the sky, and a golden sea of ​​suffering appeared behind him.

Above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, golden lotuses grew, stars filled the sky, and the cycle of life and death continued... One after another, extremely powerful auras pressed down on the Styx Master in front of him, making his face extremely ugly.

He never expected that Qin Tian would grow up so quickly.

It has been less than ten thousand years since its birth, yet it possesses such abilities.

Immediately, a sense of regret arose in the heart of the Styx Master.

Could it be that Qin Tian really wasn't lying to me?

He did come with good intentions, wanting to help this ancestor obtain a holy position.

A true man can bend and stretch. The Styx Master's mind stirred, and he immediately sheathed his two swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, and said with a forced smile:

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

"Qin Tian, ​​it was all my fault before. I misunderstood you."

"I, the leader of this sect, am here to apologize to you."

After saying this, the Lord of the Styx was about to bow to Qin Tian.

Seeing this, Qin Tian quickly dodged and shouted, "Master, since it's a misunderstanding, it's best to talk it out. There's no need for this."
