Chapter 162 The Birth of Humanity, Nuwa's Ascension to Sainthood, and the Establishment of Rein
Chapter 162 The Birth of Humanity, Nuwa's Ascension to Sainthood, and the Establishment of Reincarnation in the River Styx
"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, I wish to establish the Underworld and govern the place of life and death and reincarnation. Within this Underworld, from top to bottom, there should be five Ghost Emperors and ten Yama Kings. Fellow Daoist—why not accept the position of the Eastern Ghost Emperor?" Styx looked at Ran Deng in front of him and said with a smile.
One difference is that Yuanshi preached the Chan Sect throughout the prehistoric world, while he did not. He had Mingxuan under his command. Although Mingxuan's cultivation was not yet comparable to Randeng, who had listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, he was still a Daluo Golden Immortal. Moreover, Mingxuan's physical body was far superior to Randeng's. If they really fought, Randeng might not be able to defeat Mingxuan easily.
With a Grand Luo Golden Immortal under his command, Styx would not face a situation like Yuanshi, where no one under his command could match Randeng's cultivation level, thus forcing him to place Randeng in a position second only to one person and above ten thousand others.
More importantly, Styx is confident that he can gain the loyalty of Dipankara, just as Dipankara will be loyal to Buddhism in the future. As long as the underworld continues to prosper and its fortune continues to flourish.
With the six realms of reincarnation in existence, it would be difficult for the underworld's fortune not to prosper.
"Randeng thanks the Sage for his kindness." Upon hearing this, Randeng immediately bowed respectfully. Randeng was very satisfied with this. The Five Ghost Emperors—they must be the highest-ranking figures under Styx in the future.
Forget about high-level or low-level matters. In this world, the most urgent thing is to obtain the protection of a sage and get through the impending great calamity.
Within the thirty-three heavens.
Compared to the Wu Clan, who were still unaware of the rising calamity energy between heaven and earth, the powerful beings of the Demon Clan were much more sensitive.
Several quasi-sages, including the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, and the two Heavenly Empresses, gathered together, along with Laozi,
Tongtian and Taiyi each threw out their innate treasures to conceal the secrets of heaven, and the other great supernatural beings assisted them. Only then did they dare to speak a few words from the heart.
Now that Styx is a saint, what if he hears us mention his name?
For thousands of years, these people have gathered together countless times, trying to discuss something, but they have never been able to reach a conclusion.
Because, given the current state of the primordial world, anyone with a brain can clearly see that a great calamity is coming, and they are all entangled in karma and cannot escape it!
"Junior Sister Nuwa—is she still in seclusion?" Yuanshi asked calmly, looking at Fuxi and Nuwa who were still absent.
As soon as Yuanshi finished speaking, a saintly aura swept across the primordial world, causing the great supernatural beings of the Heavenly Court to change their expressions.
Another major event has brought about a significant change in the prehistoric landscape.
The human race, the race upon which Hongjun entrusted many of his plans, the future protagonists of the primordial world, have been born!
The Styx River has already shown the way, and there is no reason for Nuwa to remain trapped in the Quasi-Saint realm.
At the same time, immeasurable heavenly merits descended from the sky, rewarding the creation of the human race. This merit was divided into two parts: one part, 20%, fell on the Netherworld Blood Sea and was collected by the Styx River; the other part, 80%, fell on Nuwa, causing the aura on Nuwa's body to rise steadily.
Before long, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and purple aura traveled thirty thousand miles eastward. Once again, a holy might overwhelmed the primordial world, and all living beings bowed down to celebrate the joyous occasion of the birth of another saint.
At the same time, Nuwa's attainment of sainthood made the Heavenly Court's fortune much more stable than before.
"Twenty percent is a bit too little, but if I take any more, Fellow Daoist Nuwa probably won't be able to become a saint," Styx pondered.
However, Heaven did not let him suffer a loss. He took 30% of the human race's fortune, and now his authority over the human race is second only to Nuwa.
As someone who initially attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and later became a Saint, Nuwa's path to sainthood seemed rather forced to Styx, even giving him the impression that she was ruining her future. After all, becoming a Saint through merit would likely add many difficulties to her future cultivation. However, Styx was content to manage himself and couldn't control others, especially since that other person was a Saint.
Styx also knew that the next part of his plan was about to begin.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation, emerge!" Styx raised his hand, unleashing his saintly power, and landed on the Netherworld Blood Sea. From this point on, the Netherworld Blood Sea would gradually dry up, and his 480 million Blood God Child divine abilities would also disappear little by little. However, for Styx, who was now a saint, those Blood God Child divine abilities were already useless.
Rather than continuing to preserve the Netherworld Blood Sea, it would be better to completely open it up into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Compared to the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Reincarnation that can continuously provide him with merit and fortune is much more appealing.
Although Styx never uses merit to improve his cultivation, luck can accelerate his cultivation speed.
The Styx River unleashed its supernatural powers, and the laws of reincarnation resonated with the Netherworld Blood Sea until the Six Paths of Reincarnation were fully formed.
"The Great Dao is above, and Heaven and the Dao Ancestor bear witness to it."
Now, there is the River Styx here, where I see the souls of all living beings in the primordial world wandering and sinking into the dark sea of blood after death, which is extremely pitiful. I cannot bear it, so I wish to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation here. The Six Paths are the three good paths: the path of heaven, the path of humans, and the path of the underworld; and the three evil paths: the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of hell.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation, emerge!" Styx made this vow, and at this moment, boundless fortune flowed continuously from all parts of the primordial world, converging upon the Netherworld Clan, causing many Netherworld beings guarding various parts of the Underworld to break through in their cultivation. Even the saints Styx and Styx also benefited greatly from it.
The six realms of reincarnation are still the same six realms of reincarnation, except that this time he replaced the Asura realm with the Netherworld realm.
From then on, as long as the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Primordial World remain intact, the Underworld Race will also remain forever, unlike the current Witch and Demon Races, which have declined or even perished due to the Great Tribulation.
The collapse of the six realms of reincarnation—that's impossible.
At the same time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will greatly increase the reproduction rate of the Underworld race.
At the same time, many spiritual treasures related to the underworld also appeared and fell into the hands of Styx. Among them, the most important ones were the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, which were personally controlled by Styx.
The Book of Life and Death is still the complete version today, unlike in the future when it was divided into two volumes: one controlled by the Underworld to determine the lifespan of mortals, and the other controlled by the Heavenly Court to determine the lifespan of immortals and gods.
Except for a very few beings at the Quasi-Saint and Great Luo Golden Immortal realms, the lifespans of all beings in the primordial world are recorded in it. Styx tried to sense it and found that if one were to change the Book of Life and Death, and thus change the lifespan of beings, one would inevitably be entangled in great karma. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of the person whose lifespan was changed, the more prosperous their fortune and merits, and the deeper the karma one would have to bear for changing their lifespan.
With a flick of his Taoist robe, Styx revealed a figure seated atop the Twelve-Petaled Purple Lotus of Reincarnation. It was Styx's evil corpse, to whom Styx had handed over the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen.
