Chapter 7 Is this even possible?
As Styx turned to leave, another wisp of Heavenly Merit descended upon him, landing on his head. However, it was far less than the merit he had gained when creating Ying Gou, amounting to only a few acres. Styx collected this merit along with the previous one.
Those beings who truly possess great merit are not so easily harmed even by a sage, so the Styx River does not intend to absorb this merit.
Zhunti and Jieyin stared blankly at the departing figure of the Styx River.
This actually works?
However, considering that the Styx River had taken away so many zombies and wronged souls, Zhunti and Jieyin felt relieved. If it were them, even if they could do it, they didn't know how long it would take to finish.
Moreover, they don't have the ability to deal with so many wronged souls. Being able to take these wronged souls away is one way, and how to deal with them after taking them away is another way. They don't have a sea of blood like the River Styx to serve as a place to collect wronged souls, and at this stage they don't have the ability to convert so many wronged souls, so they can only beat them until their souls are scattered.
How many murders would that require?
"Well said, well said," Jieyin sighed.
……
Meanwhile, something unexpected happened to Styx.
[Congratulations, host! You have accomplished something nearly impossible. In your current state, you defeated Zhunti and Jieyin in a two-against-one battle. Furthermore, through careful planning, you have secured a continuous supply of "military resources," laying a solid foundation for the revival of your great sect. The completion rate of Main Quest Two has slightly increased.]
[Reward to Host: Eight-Demon Thirteen-Masted Black Blood Sailboat (Acquired Karma Treasure)]
Styx: ? ? ?
manpower?
Could it be referring to those zombies and vengeful spirits?
Heaven bears witness, and the sea of blood is proof; he truly had no such intention.
And... the Karma Treasure?
This was truly an eye-opener for Styx. He had only ever heard of treasures of merit and treasures of karma... but he had never heard of them before.
This thing shouldn't damage one's luck, right? If it does, we need to find a place to deal with it quickly.
Immediately, Styx frowned and began to study the so-called acquired karmic treasure newly given to him by the system.
【Eight Demon Thirteen-Masted Blackblood Sailboat】
[Grade: Acquired Karma Treasure]
[Introduction: In the countless eons of the primordial world, in one lifetime, Rahu defeated Hongjun, but did not destroy the primordial world. Instead, he became a demon and became the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao. His eldest disciple, Taiqing Demon Lord, through his own enlightenment and supreme karma, refined the acquired karmic treasure.]
The ship carried countless lives lost in a calamity; its hull was shrouded in nine supreme demonic landscapes, and its thirteen masts were thirteen banners bearing countless souls, exuding boundless slaughter.
Styx felt it was defying the heavens.
Forging artifacts with karma was unimaginable to Styx, who had inherited the memories of his predecessor.
"Fortunately, Rahu died early." Styx sighed, but after realizing that this acquired karmic treasure was only capable of boundless killing and would not affect his own fortune, he gave up on dealing with it and headed towards the Blood Sea.
After returning to the Blood Sea, he handed over the zombies he had captured to Commander Ying Gou. The Blood Sea's mosquito-repelling power was greatly enhanced. Just as he was about to sink the wronged souls into the Blood Sea, he heard the wronged souls crying out.
Among the wronged souls were some from the scaled race, some from the bird race, some from the beast race, and even some from Rahu's demon race. They lamented their tragic deaths with utter despair.
Faced with their cries, the Styx remained silent, only sinking the wronged souls into the sea of blood.
But looking at the countless wronged souls waiting to dissipate in the sea of blood, Styx suddenly remembered a way to earn merit.
In theory, all living beings in the primordial world who die have a chance to be resurrected as long as their souls are not completely scattered. Of course, in this day and age, when reincarnation is incomplete and the six paths of reincarnation are not clearly manifest, this is only in theory. A very small number of living beings have a chance to be reborn after death.
After death, all that awaits these wronged souls is to slowly dissipate in a sea of blood.
"When the Bodhi Patriarch preached in later generations, he said that there are five kinds of immortals: Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost. This Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the Earth Immortals. With this title, he obtained unparalleled fortune." Styx plotted in his heart.
Is it possible for him to take advantage of his proximity to the source and seize the title of the ancestor of ghost immortals?
After a moment of deduction, Styx realized that this matter was feasible, and if it succeeded, he would surely gain immeasurable merit and fortune. However, this matter was not simple. Even now, with a Soul Dao at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Styx was still not simple.
This requires Styx to create a cultivation system that can be universally applied throughout the primordial world; it cannot be accomplished in just tens of thousands of years.
After much deliberation, Styx decided to create the Asura race first, since creating the Asura race was not difficult for Styx, who was known for his mastery of the path of blood and slaughter.
When an Asura is born, he gains merit and good fortune; when an Asura is born, his good days begin.
"Let me try. To create an acquired race, I should..."
……
Beyond the heavens, chaos reigns; within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Above the auspicious clouds of the heavens, Hongjun's holy eyes swept across the primordial world, finally pausing for a moment on Styx, but then he looked away.
The sage knows everything. He knows that a zombie race will be born in the primordial world, but the timing is wrong, and the zombie race should not have been created by the Styx River.
And the Styx River is now creating the Asura race... Has it tasted the sweetness of success?
However, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. The Heavenly Dao is inherently incomplete, and it is not surprising that things change. During his investigation, Hongjun did not find any problems with Styx. The overall trend of the Heavenly Dao continued to advance step by step according to his design. He was too lazy to care about minor changes in the trend.
not to mention……
During the last great kalpa, Rahu self-destructed. For some reason, he also attracted enormous karma and consequences. After all, that was the entire West. Even if Rahu took the lion's share, the karma he received was still not to be underestimated.
In the long run, Styx's dispatch of the Blood God to collect the wronged souls and zombies of the West was very beneficial to the prosperity of the West. It can be said that, by a twist of fate, Styx actually helped him perfect his own plan.
……
Time slips away bit by bit.
Finally, as the lecture at Zixiao Palace drew near, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Styx River, a figure rose from the sea of blood.
"Fortunately, there is the Great Dao of Soul, otherwise I'm afraid it would have delayed us for some time." Using the Great Dao of Blood as a blueprint, the Great Dao of Slaughter as a foundation, and the Great Dao of Soul as an aid, Styx finally managed to piece together a creature that satisfied him using the readily available materials from the Blood Sea.
The Asura race has been officially born!
Immediately, Styx began casting a spell, using the first successful case as a template to continuously replicate the process.
One after another, figures rose up from the sea of blood; they were Asuras, numbering 129,600 in total, half of whom were male and half female.
