Chapter 118, Part 3: Styx is getting anxious.
Chapter 118 The Three Pure Ones: The Styx River is in a hurry.
The commotion caused by the Wu Clan naturally did not escape the eyes of the powerful beings in the prehistoric world. The Heavenly Court, Zhen Yuanzi, Zhunti, Dongwanggong and other powerful beings all saw the Wu Clan's actions.
Of course, even if they saw it, it would be difficult for them to stop something that was absolutely in the interests of the majority of living beings in the primordial world. The Heavenly Dao was watching from above, and that was the general trend.
After about ten eons, the Witch Clan finally managed to sort out both the Four Seasons and the newly established Heavenly Tribulation. The seven Ancestral Witches, including Jumang, Zhurong, and Xuanming, successively swore an oath that, in recognition of their contributions to the prehistoric world, the heavens would bestow boundless Heavenly Dao merits upon the seven Ancestral Witches, allowing their cultivation to advance further. Of course, the Styx River, who guided them in establishing the Heavenly Tribulation and the Four Seasons, undoubtedly also received a share of the rewards.
The amount of merit bestowed from heaven this time is not small, and may even exceed the merit that the seven ancestral witches could actually obtain from their contributions.
This also stems from the overwhelming trend of Heaven.
In the original primordial world, the Wu tribe was strong while the Yao tribe was weak. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of the Wu and Yao tribes perishing together, the Heavenly Dao would give as much support as possible to measures that benefit the Yao tribe, including merit and fortune.
But now, with the Heavenly Court established and the Three Pure Ones united with the demon race, there is no doubt that the demon race's potential far exceeds that of the witch race. Therefore, the witch race can naturally obtain considerable support from the Heavenly Dao.
Until the final, earth-shattering battle between the liches began.
The 33rd Heaven, the highest level.
The Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Fu Xi, Tai Yi, Nuwa, and Bai Ze, along with a host of other highly intelligent demon race experts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, gathered here to once again discuss the actions of the Wu Clan.
The Witch Clan remains the Heavenly Court's greatest adversary. Every move they make will undoubtedly attract the Heavenly Court's attention. Moreover, whether it's establishing the Four Seasons or the Heavenly Court itself, these actions will greatly impact the core of the Heavenly Court and the interests of the Demon Clan.
"Your Majesties, the Witch Clan's actions are extremely vicious. You cannot ignore this!" Bai Ze said, his voice filled with anguish as he looked at the six Heavenly Emperors before him.
"Establishing the four seasons and regulating the solar terms can make the solar terms in the primordial world more regular. In spring, all things revive; in summer, life flourishes; in autumn, fruits are plentiful; and in winter, all things slumber. This cycle repeats itself endlessly, making it more suitable for the survival of primordial creatures compared to the previous disorder."
"This Heavenly Tribulation is only directed at beings below the Golden Immortal level, and only at those who bear karmic burdens. Logically speaking, it should be a good thing, so how can it be called vicious?" Tongtian looked at Bai Ze and asked with some surprise.
Tongtian greatly admired Bai Ze. After all, Tongtian, who always believed in teaching all children regardless of their background, was quite fond of intelligent mythical beasts like Bai Ze.
If Bai Ze hadn't also been listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace and was of the same generation as him, he would have truly wanted to take Bai Ze as his disciple.
"Your Majesty is upright and righteous, how could you possibly know about such treacherous tricks hidden within the grand scheme of things?"
The establishment of the four seasons did indeed make the prehistoric environment more suitable for living beings, but it also greatly diminished the ferocity of living beings. After all, in the struggle for survival, only the fittest survive, and in a mild environment, it is impossible for powerful demons to be born.
At the same time, what is even more serious is that these four seasons are controlled by the Ancestral Witches. All living beings in the primordial world live on the primordial land. Those who obey the Witch Clan will have good weather and abundant harvests, while those who defy the Witch Clan will suffer natural disasters. If this continues, how many living beings on the primordial land will dare to rebel against the Witch Clan?
The matter of the Heavenly Tribulation seems reasonable, but in reality, it also harbors evil intentions. We, the demon race, have fought our way up from the bottom, and it is inevitable that we are decisive in killing and have accumulated some karma. Otherwise, if we follow the proper path, it will be difficult to achieve the Great Dao. When we achieve the Dao in the future, we can make up for it by doing some good deeds.
Your Majesty has long harbored the desire to seize a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the primordial world, and should therefore know the hardships that all beings in the primordial world endure in their quest for the Dao.
"In this way, the growth time of the lower-level demon race will be greatly delayed. At the same time, both strategies can allow creatures that should have been eliminated to continue to live. Firstly, these creatures can provide food for the witch race. Secondly, these creatures will take away the resources of the demon race that should have grown up. In the long run, it will inevitably be a case of one side rising and the other falling, Your Majesties." Bai Ze looked at Tongtian and explained with great distress.
Who gave the Witch Clan such a wicked idea? How despicable!
"How could such a good deed have such a terrible outcome?" Tongtian was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
"The way of the Earth Immortal is to unite the body with the earth's veins and then manage them. This is also a great act of merit. In the hands of the Wu Clan, didn't it also become a tool for the Wu Clan to rule the prehistoric world?"
What's even more insidious is that whether it's the path of the Earthly Immortals or the current establishment of the four seasons and the Heavenly Tribulation, some living beings will benefit from it.
Many of these beings who benefit from this will be unable to see the true nature of the witch clan, and may even regard the witch clan as the saviors of their own race!
If this continues, under this system of dividing and conquering, all living beings in the primordial world will be enslaved by the witch tribe, and will never know what freedom or dignity is.
Moreover, the four seasons govern the vitality of the primordial world, the Heavenly Tribulation governs the laws of the primordial world, and the Earthly Immortals control the lands of the primordial world. If this continues, the beings of the primordial world will only know the Witch Clan, and will they still know the Heavenly Court?
This is truly a vicious scheme! A scheme devised to the extreme by Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Such a ruthless and open scheme could never have been conceived by the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Who was plotting this behind the scenes? Thinking of this, Bai Ze trembled with anger, feeling as if the Three Corpse Gods were about to explode.
"That's true." Tongtian nodded upon hearing this, acknowledging Bai Ze's statement.
Yuan Shi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he sighed slightly. He could see clearly the scheme behind the Wu Clan's plan. Not only could he see it clearly, but he didn't need to deduce it. Yuan Shi knew that the person behind the scheme was Styx.
Tongtian's strategies are still a bit lacking.
Moreover, Tongtian should not have revealed to the public that he could not see through the Wu Clan's schemes. If he did, where would his authority as a superior be?
"This must be Styx's plan. Moreover, Styx's schemes are always interconnected. This is definitely not the focus of his plan. There must be an even more vicious plan in the future. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, do you have any countermeasures?" Taiyi looked at Yuanshi and asked.
At this moment, because his injuries from fighting the Styx had not yet healed, Taiyi's aura was slightly unstable. He looked at Yuanshi, who was always good at planning, and asked.
Now, the Heavenly Court has the Three Pure Ones as its nominal leaders. When faced with a problem, one should naturally consult the Three Pure Ones first. At the same time, Yuanshi is indeed good at planning. His planning skills are undoubtedly the sharpest sword to break through the schemes of the Styx River and the Wu Clan at this moment.
Yuanshi shook his head.
He had no countermeasures, because this was an open scheme that could only be broken with absolute power. Even the Heavenly Dao had bestowed merit upon him, so what other options did he have?
Unless they can defeat the Witch Clan, but they have not yet become saints and have no chance of winning a decisive battle against the Witch Clan. Moreover, the Styx River is also eyeing the Heavenly Court covetously.
However, there is also good news: Styx is indeed in a hurry. Judging from the frequency of their plans, their attempt to seize the Heavenly Court will have a significant impact on Styx.
