Chapter 163 Attracting Attention from All Sides
He could hardly bear the great karmic consequences of the chaotic lifespans of the primordial era. Therefore, the Book of Life and Death must be managed by someone who is upright and incorruptible and will not be hindered by any side.
Otherwise, if all sorts of problems arise, or even if someone tries to alter the Book of Life and Death, the consequences will be endless. There will be no one above him to bear the karmic consequences for him, although for a sage, a little bit of karma is not a big problem.
However, just look at Tongtian. If the Jie Sect didn't have so many disciples of varying quality, some of whom were burdened with karma and committed numerous evils, and if Tongtian, as the leader of the Jie Sect, had to be responsible for all the disciples, then the Jie Sect might not have ended up in such a tragic state.
No matter how revered you are as a saint, you cannot escape the many causes and effects; the will of Heaven is like a knife.
Such a tragedy must never be repeated on him, the Styx River. Therefore, it is most appropriate to have a saint with three corpses in charge, holding the Book of Life and Death. He does not believe that anyone has such great supernatural powers to open a back door for him, the saint.
"That's perfect." Styx looked at the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which had now fully emerged from the world, and nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time, in the sky, immeasurable heavenly merits once again condensed, and the invisible supreme holy power surged and transformed into a tangible golden torrent, churning and coalescing in the primordial sky.
Golden clouds gradually rose, flowing with immortal splendor. Their texture resembled the ancient black and yellow of ten thousand years, churning and swirling, instantly obscuring the vast sky and releasing a pure radiance that penetrated the ages, dyeing the primordial world into an eternal gold.
Such immeasurable merit surpassed all the merit Styx had ever received before, and was even comparable to the merit Nuwa gained from creating humans. Naturally, this merit was once again taken back by Styx.
At the same time, Styx sensed an unparalleled aura of fortune bestowed upon him, making him vaguely feel that his recently broken-through cultivation level was loosening slightly, as if he were about to break through again.
"Luck, what a wonderful thing." As a sage, one advantage over a mere Primordial Golden Immortal is that he can comprehend the Dao through the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and the abundant luck can greatly accelerate his enlightenment process.
At this moment, with the emergence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the place of reincarnation that had existed in the primordial world was finally open to all living beings. Countless souls that had died were classified and "processed" by the underworld and then cast into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to be reborn.
As the cycle of reincarnation continues, strands of merit and fortune are reborn and bestowed upon Styx. As the creator and controller of the six realms of reincarnation, he naturally gains merit and fortune during the cycle of reincarnation.
"Very good, very good," Styx exclaimed, then prepared to continue his seclusion.
Through his rebirth in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Styx gained a great deal of merit and fortune. This merit and fortune was enough for him to raise his cultivation to the third level of the Primordial Golden Immortal before the end of the Lich War. If we take into account the blessing of his status as a Heavenly Saint, then Styx's combat power could probably reach the twelfth level of a Saint.
With this level of cultivation, one will be more confident in seeking the fortune and merit of the human race.
For the human race, Styx had already made preparations and plans. What he needed to do was very simple: copy Lao Tzu's work from the original primordial world.
To deduce a path that can be universally applied to the human race, ensuring that one's own lineage continues unbroken among humans, one should then disregard everything else and allow the human race to develop freely.
Compared to Yuanshi, Tongtian, Zhunti, and Jieyin, Laozi undoubtedly had the fewest schemes against the human race, perfectly demonstrating his consistent style of "doing nothing yet accomplishing everything." But in the end, even after the Journey to the West calamity had passed, Laozi still possessed the most fortune among the human race. This was both a means and an enlightenment.
The human race, as the protagonists of heaven and earth appointed by the primordial Heavenly Dao and the sages, does not require much intervention.
In the end, among the human race, Lao Tzu possessed the most fortune.
Therefore, Styx's purpose is very simple: to enjoy a wave of human fortune, that's enough.
His cultivation will reach an even higher level during the Investiture of the Gods era.
At that time, facing the subsequent Investiture of the Gods calamity, no matter what the Dao Ancestor does, he will be confident.
At this moment, a spatial fluctuation surprised Styx.
"Why is she here?"
Meanwhile, the outside world was in turmoil. The birth of the human race and Nuwa's ascension to sainthood were two major events with far-reaching impact on the prehistoric world.
Especially regarding the birth of the human race, although the human race is not as good as the underworld race created by the Styx River, and the worst one born is a Golden Immortal, the human race is the future protagonist of the prehistoric world, and its fortune rises far faster than that of the underworld race. From the moment its race was born, the human race's fortune has been rising continuously, and in a short period of time, it has already reached a level that is enough to challenge the demon race and the witch race!
Nuwa's ascension to sainthood was an event that could change the landscape of the primordial world. After all, no matter how powerful the Twelve Ancestral Witches were, could they still be a match for a saint?
Among the thirty-three heavens, the quasi-saints of the Heavenly Court who witnessed this scene also had their own thoughts.
The three Pure Ones exchanged glances. Nuwa's junior sister had really become a saint!
Laozi and Yuanshi's thoughts were quite complex at this moment, especially Yuanshi's. He knew that Nuwa's ascension to sainthood was likely inextricably linked to the Styx taking her away. Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones, who were quite arrogant, had fallen behind the Styx in their progress towards sainthood. For them, who always considered themselves the true descendants of Pangu, this was already a great humiliation; now, they had fallen behind their own junior sister. This—
Meanwhile, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Zhen Yuanzi, and other quasi-saints were delighted by Nuwa's attainment of sainthood. After all, only a saint could defeat another saint, and only a saint could defeat the phantom of Pangu summoned by the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation.
At this moment, Di Jun and Tai Yi were already plotting how to use Nuwa to eradicate the Wu tribe.
In the west, Mount Sumeru.
Upon hearing that Nuwa had also attained sainthood, Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, both seeing admiration in each other's eyes.
That's the realm of a saint! Nuwa actually reached that level.
Although Styx has already attained sainthood, his cultivation level is so high that from the beginning, they felt that he was invincible. This was especially evident when the zombie race emerged and they went to the Netherworld Blood Sea to seek justice from Styx, demonstrating his strength.
That's a cultivation level that's worlds ahead of theirs!
-
And how much merit has Styx accumulated?
It was only natural that Styx became a saint, but Nuwa's cultivation was only on par with the two Western Buddhas. She only surpassed them in cultivation because of the merits she had accumulated with the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan. However, in the blink of an eye, while they were still struggling in the Quasi-Saint realm, Nuwa had already attained sainthood!
