Pangu opened up the sky and created the world of the Great Desolation. However, a lifeless Great Desolation wasn't what Pangu had hoped for. Thus, Pangu used his body to create the Great Desolation, causing the Great Desolation to become a beautiful world with beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy. Along with the passage of time, the living beings in the Great Desolation gradually increased, and these living beings would become the 100 races of the Great Desolation in the future.
The Great Desolation became lively, but the boundless blood sea that was formed by Pangu's dirty blood was incomparably silent. At most, a gust of wind would blow past, and the blood sea would have some ripples. This kind of lifeless atmosphere had already persisted for several millions of years since Pangu opened up the sky. "Ah!" Suddenly, a shriek burst out from the center of the blood sea, and for a moment, the blood sea that had been silent for a long time suddenly became turbulent.
In the center of the blood sea, a blood red colored huge lotus was floating above the blood sea. The 12 lotus petals were mysterious and glossy, and on top of the lotus stood a 20 + years old young man. No, it shouldn't be said that he was a human, to be precise, he was a soul. Looking at the boundless blood sea in front of him, he couldn't help but feel fear. One must know that this young man was only a technical otaku before this.
The young man's name was Mu Sen, he lived in the new era, grew up under the red flag, and enjoyed the beautiful life of the 21st century. Although the era was beautiful, the pressure was also very big. Slaves to houses and cars were everywhere, and Mu Sen was neither of them. There was nothing he could do about it, he didn't even have a girlfriend, so what was the point of buying a house and a car for? For a great technical otaku, a house and a car were dispensable.
Mu Sen's life was the same every day, he would go to work from 9 to 5, and after work, he would stay at home and basically didn't have any outdoor activities. However, he also had his own hobbies, he liked to study all kinds of strange or high-tech things. He had studied the Eight Trigrams Geomancy secret technique, he had also studied simple robots, he had developed various kinds of game cheats. In any case, as long as it was something that he was interested in, he would spend time to carefully study it.
But who would have thought that the unexpected would happen? He was watching the meteor shower from the top of the building, but he was inexplicably struck by lightning. As the ancient saying goes, if one survives a great disaster, there is bound to be a blessing in disguise. But what was going on in front of him? Why was his body gone? Everything was a mystery, especially this boundless sea of blood. Although he had seen blood before, he had never seen so much of it. It was an endless sea of blood. Mu Sen couldn't help but scream in fear.
Suddenly, Mu Sen frowned. A memory that didn't belong to him appeared in his mind. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. In the end, he was completely stunned. His mouth was so wide open that a light bulb could be stuffed in it. After being stunned for a long time, Mu Sen, who had just recovered, suddenly swore to the heavens, "In the Great Dao, there is no more Mu Sen in this world. I am the Lord of the Sea of Blood — River Styx."
Mu Sen, no, River Styx. As soon as River Styx swore, a wave flashed across the void above the sea of blood, but it immediately disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, River Styx heaved a sigh of relief. The information that appeared in his mind just now was the inheritance information of the Lord of the Sea of Blood, Ancestor River Styx. When he transmigrated to the Sea of Blood before River Styx was born, the Great Dao recognized him as the Ancestor of the Sea of Blood.
However, he was an Anomaly after all and was not accepted by the Great Dao. He could only give up his previous identity and become a member of the Great Desolation. Only then would he not be considered an Anomaly. However, when he swore, he had a little thought. He swore to the Great Dao instead of Tendo. Now that Tendo was reborn and had yet to awaken, the Great Desolation was still under the control of the Great Dao. If he swore to the Great Dao, then Tendo wouldn't know about his past. In this way, River Styx wouldn't have to worry about exposing his origins.
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. This was one of River Styx's strengths. He could adapt to the situation. Since he couldn't change the current reality, he could only accept it. Just like the saying on the Internet, "Life is like rape. When you can't fight back, then just lie down and enjoy it." River Styx just had to work hard to survive, and it would be best if he could live a wonderful life.
Come to think of it, River Styx, Sanqing, Zu Wu, Summon Zhunti, Nüwa, Fuxi, Di Jun, Taichi, and the others were all Connate Demon Gods. Their starting point was much higher than the other living beings of the Great Desolation. However, Sanqing, Summon Zhunti, and Nüwa became Tendo Sages. As for Di Jun, Taichi, and the twelve Zu Wu, although they were basically all dead, they were still the leaders of the Lich Tribe. Even Kunpeng and Zhen Yuanzi left behind their legendary stories.
As for River Styx, as the Lord of the Blood Sea, his starting point was not low. However, what he did was basically a joke in the Great Desolation. According to the myths of the Great Desolation that he knew, River Styx wanted to become a Sage. He robbed Hongmeng in order to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Cloud, which was the foundation of becoming a Sage. In the end, he offended Di Jun, Taichi, Kunpeng, and Zhen Yuanzi, and ended up with nothing. The gains did not make up for the losses.
After that, Nüwa created humans and became a Sage. River Styx also created the Shura Tribe. Although he gained merit, it was extremely limited. After that, Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West established religions and became Sages. He also established the Shura Sect and gained some merit, but it was far from enough to become a Sage. After that, the Two Sages of the West robbed some of the Shura Tribesmen and established the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon. Then, he gained an unfriendly neighbor, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If it were not for the fact that the Blood Sea did not dry, River Styx's immortality, and his identity as one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he would not have been able to live peacefully in a corner.
However, this was not what River Styx wanted. Although he could not die, what was the difference between that and death? Although he was only a technical nerd in his previous life, he had his own courage. He had lived an ordinary life for more than twenty years in his previous life, but it was different in this life. There were countless mythical characters here, and there were countless mythical stories that he had heard in his previous life. He was no longer willing to be ordinary, and the blood in his body began to boil … Wait a minute, I don't think I have a body yet.
River Styx's thoughts had drifted so far away that he finally remembered that he did not have a body yet. As soon as he transmigrated to the Blood Sea, he gained the recognition of the Blood Sea. The accompanying Lingbao that originally belonged to River Styx's ancestor became his accompanying Lingbao.
It had to be said that the River Styx was very wealthy. Just the Associated Lingbao alone had a total of four. The Supreme Grade Innate Lingbao Red Lotus of Fire, which was the lotus he was currently sitting on. The flag floating above his head was one of the Innate Five Element Flags, the Northern Mystic Lingbao Flag. Like the Red Lotus of Fire, it was also a Supreme Grade Innate Lingbao.
After the Red Lotus of Fire and the Chaotic Green Lotus shattered, the four lotus seeds turned into the Genesis Green Lotus, the Red Lotus of Fire, the Virtuous Golden Lotus, and the Black Lotus of Destruction. They were all Supreme Grade Innate Lingbao Level Twelve Lotus Flowers. The Red Lotus of Fire could release an endless amount of Red Lotus Fire and burn everything with the power of the Karmic Fire. Its defense was also top-notch and it was unrivaled when sitting on the lotus throne. The Red Lotus of Fire would produce a lotus seed every once in a while. With the Triple Light Holy Water as the catalyst, it could grow into a Lotus Throne at most. However, the Triple Light Holy Water was not that easy to obtain.
The Mystic Water Control Flag was a Supreme Grade Innate Lingbao Level Innate Lingbao. It was formed from the leaves of the Chaotic Green Lotus. It could obscure the universe, cover the sky, repel all evil, and be invulnerable to all spells. Most importantly, it could control all water in the world and produce a drop of Triple Light Holy Water every once in a while. That was the most precious part. Other than that, its defense was also extremely strong. Together with the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, the Green Lotus Flag, the Floating Flame Flag, and the White Cloud Boundary Flag, it could even set up the Innate Five Elements Great Formation.
On both sides of the lotus platform, there were two pitch-black long swords guarding it. They looked simple and unadorned, but in fact, their killing intent was faintly discernible. They were the Upper Grade Innate Lingbao Yuantu and Avici Swords. They belonged to the category of killing Lingbao and were far more powerful than ordinary Upper Grade Innate Lingbao. When the two were combined, their power was comparable to that of a Supreme Grade Innate Lingbao.
Apart from that, River Styx also received 5% of the Merit of Creation. It should be known that this was 5% of the Merit of Great Dao. Sanqing only received 10% of the Merit of Great Dao. Even if he received more merit in the future, it would only be Tendo Merit, which could not be compared to the Merit of Great Dao. As long as the Merit of Great Dao was not lost, it would be equivalent to a protective amulet in the Great Desolation. Even Hongjun Daozu would have to consider it.
But on second thought, River Styx's 5% of the Merit of Creation was not obtained for free. After splitting open the sky, Pangu's tainted blood, the residual blood of the Demon God slain, and the Innate Evil Qi all gathered in the Blood Sea. It could be said that the Blood Sea was a complete garbage dump. The Great Dao was just, so this 5% of the Merit of Creation could be considered as compensation for River Styx.
But at the thought of being born in human form, River Styx had to reconsider. Originally, River Styx used the purest blood in the Blood Sea to transform, which was a high starting point. But this also limited his future. The purest blood was a mixture of Pangu's tainted blood, Demon God's blood, and Innate Evil Qi. It was mixed and impure. Perhaps reaching the realm of Quasi-saint was already his limit.
The cultivation realms of the Great Desolation could be divided into Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, and Refining Void into Dao. After that, it was the Immortal Realm. Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Xuan Immortal, Taiyi Xuan Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Jinxian, Quasi-saint, Saint (Primordial Daluo Jinxian), Tendo Saint (Primordial Creation Golden Immortal), and Saint of the Great Dao (Primordial Wuji Golden Immortal). Each realm was divided into four stages: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Pinnacle.
Although there would only be seven Saints in the Great Desolation in the future, including Hongjun and Daozu, would River Styx be willing to accept this? Of course, the answer was no. Since he had been reborn, he should live a grand life. If he was timid and content to stay in a corner, he might as well die early and be reincarnated.
Since he wanted to reach a higher goal, having a good foundation was the most basic. The blood used to transform was too messy and impure. What River Styx wanted to do was to purify it and merge all the blood into one. Although he would lose the characteristics of Pangu and the dead Demon God, River Styx knew that only his blood was the best. There were gains and losses.
There were not many ways to purify the blood. One was to use the Innate Cardinal Treasure, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, to refine the blood. The Cauldron of Heaven and Earth had the effect of returning the origin to the origin and transforming the acquired into the innate. It would definitely meet River Styx's requirements. However, no one knew where the Cauldron was, so it could only pass.
