Chapter 101 Styx: Scheming Against Fellow Daoist Qing, I Had No Other Choice
Chapter 101 Styx: I had no choice but to scheme against the Three Pure Ones.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun fell silent.
Both he and Styx knew that even if they established ten thousand Heavenly Emperors, their demon race would still be no match for the witch race.
Therefore, Styx's meaning is very clear: after establishing the Heavenly Court, he would distribute power and benefits, and use the power he ceded to attract other powerful beings, thereby helping them fight against the Witch Clan.
This is a good idea; Styx truly deserves to be called a rare sage.
Di Jun could even assert that this was the only way out for their demon race. After all, the gap between them and the Twelve Ancestral Witches was not something that could be bridged in a short time or through cultivation. However, if they were to implement this strategy, there were still several difficulties that needed to be addressed.
First, who would be willing to join the Heavenly Court established by the demon race?
It should be noted that the demon race is far from prosperous, and is not even close to being prosperous. Who would be willing to lend a helping hand to the demon race in its most critical moment?
Secondly, even if they are willing to take action, do they really have the capability?
The only person with both the ability and the will is—
No, the Three Pure Ones alone are not enough.
Although the Three Pure Ones are of noble status and revered position, and are even future sages, what they need now is immediate combat power. As for their status and position, that is what the Twelve Ancestral Witches fear least.
"Oh no, Fellow Daoist Styx, I am completely at a loss right now. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Styx can teach me?" Di Jun looked at Styx in front of him and bowed.
Di Jun felt that Minghe knew perfectly well what he was thinking.
"If you want to get people to help you, you need to make it beneficial. Let people weigh the pros and cons and find that it is worthwhile to do so."
The establishment of the Heavenly Court is a great act of kindness in the primordial world, and it is of great benefit to the immortal path and the mystical sect. Why is it difficult to convince fellow Daoists from all sides? The reason lies with the Wu Clan. But what if the Wu Clan also joins the newly established Heavenly Court?" Styx looked at Di Jun in front of him and asked with a smile.
Di Jun was startled. His first reaction was that it was impossible. But then he remembered that, firstly, as long as the cake was big enough, it might not be impossible. Secondly, the person who said this was Minghe, a wizard of the Wu clan!
Styx looked at Di Jun in front of him. He knew that the other party would not refuse, because this was practically his lifeline.
Clearly, the Zhou Tian Star Array has not yet been created, and Di Jun has no confidence to contend with the Wu Clan.
If we want the Three Pure Ones to also be burdened by karma, it is not enough to simply bring them into the soon-to-be-established Heavenly Court. After all, the Three Pure Ones are transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu and possess the merit of creating the world. A little bit of karma cannot do anything to them, let alone make them stumble.
What if the witch clan and the demon clan join forces?
Now, the Wu Clan, relying on the Dao of Earth Immortals, has already made these future saints unable to stand firm. If the Heavenly Court is established, the Wu Clan will be able to rightfully rule the prehistoric world. Can the Three Pure Ones sit idly by and watch such a thing happen?
No, not even the Three Pure Ones, let alone Hongjun, could stand by and watch the two main protagonists of the Lich War join forces.
If he can persuade Di Jun at this moment, and then persuade the Wu Clan to temporarily join forces to establish the Heavenly Court, then soon the Heavenly Court jointly established by the Wu and Yao factions will become a thorn in Hongjun's side, subject to his constant attacks.
It can be said that the newly established Heavenly Court appears to be stronger and more stable than the original Demon Court, but it will not last long.
Even if Hongjun were to target them, looking at the long term, while establishing the Heavenly Court together could create great common benefits for both the demon and witch races, in the long run, the fundamental contradictions between the two races would not be resolved, and they would eventually part ways.
So let Dijun do whatever he wants, until he drags the Three Pure Ones down with him.
Only when the forces of the Lich and Demon factions unite can the Three Pure Ones be dragged into this mess, after all, greed can blind the eyes.
Styx was confident that unless someone knew the future trajectory of the Lich Cataclysm and carefully considered things from his perspective, no one could see through his scheme.
He has always been kind, and this is the first time he has ever actively schemed against someone else. There was no other way; he was forced into it.
Speaking of which, we can also bring Zhunti and Jieyin into the picture. The more people there are in the future six Heavenly Emperors, the more intense the conflicts will be, and the fiercer the internal strife will be.
With Hongjun outside and internal strife within, the fate of this first Heavenly Court was self-evident.
"The newly established Heavenly Court has six Heavenly Emperors, namely the Heavenly Emperor, the Gouchen Upper Palace Heavenly Emperor, the Central Heaven Ziwei North Pole Emperor, the Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor, the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor, and the Houtu Empress, each in charge of all matters, including worldly wars and the celestial constellations—"
At that time, I will speak to my fellow Daoists Zhunti and Jieyin, as well as to the Wu Clan, about our joint undertaking. What do you say?
"If we were outside the Heavenly Court, Fellow Daoist Di Jun would be no match for the Witch Clan at this moment, but if we were inside the Heavenly Court, Fellow Daoist Di Jun would be the supreme being." Styx looked at Di Jun in front of him and asked.
"It is good, but—why will Fellow Daoist Styx help me?"
"Such a great favor, how can I repay it?" Di Jun was indeed moved, but looking at the Styx River, he worriedly voiced his only concern.
Why would the Styx help him?
What does Styx want to gain from helping him like this?
Upon hearing this, Styx knew that Dijun had become suspicious.
If we don't dispel Di Jun's doubts, then not only will the Three Pure Ones be unable to get involved, but even Di Jun himself might not be able to get involved.
What should we do?
Got it!
"Emperor Gouchen".
"At that time, I will support Fellow Daoist Di Jun to ascend to the supreme position of Heavenly Emperor. The Witch Clan also needs a Heavenly Emperor. As for the rest, let each of you rely on your own abilities." Styx looked at Di Jun in front of him and said calmly.
Does Styx really want the throne of Gouchen the Great?
of course not!
Although this position wields power over killing and conquest, the Dao he relies on most is no longer the Dao of killing and conquest. With the Netherworld Blood Sea behind him, once he attains enlightenment and the Six Paths of Reincarnation are established, the entire prehistoric world will have to defer to him.
But he didn't say that, so Di Jun couldn't bring himself to fall into the trap. After all, if he, who had put so much effort into establishing the Heavenly Court, had no interest in the position of Heavenly Emperor, anyone would see that something was wrong.
So, how can one escape from Heaven?
The answer is that he didn't need to get away at all, because from the beginning, he could never have obtained the position of Emperor Gouchen.
The reason is simple; it all depends on the Three Pure Ones.
In recent days, the Three Pure Ones have been getting very close to the powerful demons like Di Jun. Di Jun would never hide this from the Three Pure Ones, because of their strength!
The choice between Styx and the Three Pure Ones is a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. Styx's calculations suggest that Emperor Jun will definitely choose the Three Pure Ones.
Once the Three Pure Ones fall into the trap, given their current targeting of him, they will definitely not let him obtain the position of Heavenly Emperor.
At that time, you will receive all the merits you are entitled to, and you will not be burdened by any cause or effect or karma.
