In the Palace of Empress Wa in Wahuang Heaven, Nüwa looked at the Blood Sea with a solemn expression. She knew that although she was the first to become a Saint, she was not good at fighting, and the Law of Creation was not the Law of Battle. When the other Saints were born, she would be the weakest one among them.
But she did not expect that after a thousand years, another Saint would be born. However, it was not Sanqing, Summon, or Zhunti, but River Styx, who had snatched the foundation of the Tao. Although River Styx had received less merit than her from the Ashura Tribe, his momentum of becoming a Saint was not any weaker than hers.
However, Nüwa frowned slightly. Looking at the strange phenomenon of River Styx becoming a Saint, she felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, the birth of a Saint should be like when she and Hong Jun became a Saint, with auspicious signs all over the Great Desolation. But why was River Styx so strange? Could it be that he was not the Destined Saint, but had only snatched the opportunity, so the phenomenon of him becoming a Saint was different?
Nüwa could not figure it out. Moreover, River Styx had already become a Saint, and the mysteries of heaven were blurred. Nüwa could not calculate anything at all. Was it because of the Calamity, or did River Styx hide the mysteries of heaven himself? If it was the latter, why did River Styx do this? Was there some unspeakable secret?
These were all mysteries. What worried Nüwa the most was that River Styx would definitely fight for the fate of the Great Desolation after becoming a Saint. Moreover, he had already created the Ashura Tribe. As long as the tribe grew stronger, the fate that he could obtain would definitely increase. If he wanted to compete with the Lich, a tribe with the help of a Saint would be able to develop rapidly even though they had just been born. They would be qualified to compete with the Lich.
Nüwa's worries were naturally the same as Di Jun's. River Styx was originally alone, but now that he had the Ashura Tribe under his command, if he wanted to fight for the fate of the Great Desolation, the Lich would definitely have scruples because of River Styx's identity as a Saint. There would be another person to cut the cake of the Great Desolation. This was not something that Di Jun wanted to see.
The Wu people naturally thought the same, and so did Twelve Zu Wu. However, Twelve Zu Wu clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. Although River Styx had received twelve drops of blood essence from Twelve Zu Wu and the Twelve Divine Fiends Formation, as well as repaying Father God Pangu's karma, he had still done the Wu people a great favor. How could the Wu people not express their gratitude? They also wanted to befriend River Styx.
Under Twelve Zu Wu's orders, the Wu people gave up a sizable piece of land in the northern part of the Great Desolation to River Styx. River Styx could only smile when he saw the Wu people's actions. The Ashura Tribe was different from other tribes. Compared to the Great Desolation, the Blood Sea was more suitable for them to live in. However, he didn't say anything. This piece of land could be used to rear some Direbeasts, and it could be used as a training ground for the Ashura Tribe.
The Direbeasts were a special tribe among the hundred tribes of the Great Desolation. They didn't have intelligence, and only had bestial instincts. They liked to kill, and they usually lived in places rich in blood and evil spirits. There were many Direbeasts living in the Great Desolation near the Blood Sea. In the past, because the Wu people often killed, the Direbeasts didn't breed.
Now that the Wu people gave up such a large piece of land, it could be used to rear Direbeasts. The Ashura Tribe was a bloodthirsty tribe. Only by killing could they become stronger, and the Direbeasts were the best targets. The evil spirits in the Blood Sea could help the Direbeasts in this training ground to reproduce quickly, and their strength would increase continuously. This would meet the needs of the Ashura Tribe.
Many people were shocked by the Wu people's actions. In their eyes, the Wu people were trying to win over River Styx. River Styx accepted the piece of land in the northern part of the Great Desolation that the Wu people gave up, which meant that he accepted the goodwill of the Wu people. A top tribe in the Great Desolation, and a top tribe in the Great Desolation. Once they joined forces, it wouldn't be good news for others.
… ….
River Styx naturally knew that this would lead to speculations from all sides in the Great Desolation, but he didn't care. The Evil Corpse Red Lotus Taoist had reached the Primordial Chaos, and River Styx had nothing to fear. Even if all the other Saints came together, so what? As long as it wasn't one against many, River Styx was confident that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Moreover, the Red Lotus Taoist wasn't an ordinary Primordial Chaos. After devouring the Purifying White Lotus, the Red Lotus of Fire of the 21st Tier had successfully become a Top Grade Primordial Treasure, the Red Lotus of Fire of the 24th Tier. The upgrade of the Red Lotus of Fire of the 24th Tier naturally meant that the Red Lotus Taoist's physical body had been upgraded as well. His physical body was already at the peak of Quasi-saint, and now that he had broken through, his physical body had reached the level of Primordial Chaos.
Not only that, the Law of Slaughter that the Red Lotus Taoist had comprehended was already close to the realm of Primordial Chaos. River Styx had gained the merit of creating the Ashura Tribe, so he was naturally full of confidence. He took out half of the merit he had just gained and sacrificed it all to the Taoist Mirror. Red Lotus Taoist took the opportunity to comprehend the Law of Slaughter, and broke through to 70% of the Law of Slaughter.
After comprehending 70% of the Law of Slaughter, the Red Lotus Taoist's Primordial Spirit naturally attained the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit and became a Daluo Jinxian of Primordial Chaos. Although he was only at the early stage, the breakthrough of his physical body and Primordial Spirit was not as simple as one plus one equals two. At least in the early stage of Primordial Daluo Jinxian, it was very difficult for anyone to defeat him.
As for the middle stage of Sages, River Styx could only protect himself. There was no other way. In the realm of Primordial Chaos, there was a huge gap between each stage. River Styx was confident that he could protect himself because although the Sages relied on the Hongmeng Purple Qi to improve their mana and realm, River Styx believed that he was not inferior to them in terms of the comprehension of the Law. His only worry was that the Sages could borrow the power of Tendo.
However, in the short term, River Styx should not have any major conflicts with the other Sages. Red Lotus Taoist had just reached the level of Daluo Jinxian of Primordial Chaos, and his realm still needed to be stabilized. There was still room for improvement. At least before he reached the bottleneck of the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian of Primordial Chaos, Red Lotus Taoist's cultivation should be very smooth.
As for the worries of the Liches and Demons that River Styx would fight for the fate of the Great Desolation, they worried too much. Although the Asura Tribe created by River Styx was still very weak now, it would be one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future. Naturally, its fate would not be too bad. Therefore, there was no need for River Styx to waste time and effort to compete with the Liches and Demons.
Not to mention the fact that River Styx's self-clone, Mu Sen, was now the ancestor of the humankind, and enjoyed thirty percent of the fortune of the humankind. As the original body of River Styx, he surely could enjoy the fortune of the humankind as well. Once the Great Desolation was over, both the Liches and Demons would suffer great losses, and the humankind would become the dominators of the world. Without a doubt, River Styx wouldn't lack the fortune of the humankind. Therefore, there was no need for him to rush.
However, after Red Lotus Taoist attained the Dao of Origin, he posed a problem to River Styx. Red Lotus Taoist was a Dao of Origin Daluo Jinxian, but the original body of River Styx was still a peak-level Quasi-saint. Thanks to Red Lotus Taoist's Dao of Origin, River Styx had a slight understanding of the Dao of Origin, but after all, he wasn't a Dao of Origin. As long as River Styx showed up in front of all living beings in the Great Desolation, anyone with a bit of insight would be able to tell, not to mention the existence of Nüwa, a Saint.
River Styx didn't want to reveal that he was not a Saint, but a Dao of Origin Daluo Jinxian. What's more, it was Red Lotus Taoist who attained the Dao of Origin. At least, he couldn't reveal it yet. If others knew about this, they would definitely wonder why River Styx didn't use the Purple Qi of Hongmeng to become a Saint, but chose to become a Dao of Origin Daluo Jinxian. And where did the Purple Qi of Hongmeng go?
One became a Dao of Origin Saint with the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, while the other became a Dao of Origin Daluo Jinxian with his own strength. In comparison, it was obvious which one was more amazing. If River Styx was targeted at all times because of this, it would be difficult for him to continue doing some things.
Most importantly, River Styx now had the fate of the Human Tribe. Although it was still very weak, if it was discovered, it might expose Mu Sen's true identity. In that case, Mu Sen's plan of preaching to the Human Tribe would be completely disrupted, and the Human Tribe would be in the center of the storm.
Not only did Nüwa create a human and become a Saint, but now even River Styx attached great importance to the Human Tribe. He even let his Self Corpse preach to the Human Tribe as a human. What was so special about the Human Tribe? Perhaps everyone couldn't help but think so. If something happened to the Human Tribe, River Styx really didn't know how to deal with it.
The current plan was to delay, at least until River Styx's original body attained the Dao of Origin. Although it was difficult for the body of a Chaos Demon God to transform, River Styx could attain the Dao of Origin with the Dao of Law. In this way, he could naturally conceal these secrets, or at least conceal the relationship between Mu Sen and River Styx. As for the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, it was probably impossible to hide it. When Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he would definitely become a Saint with the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and the Merit of Reincarnation. This would naturally be known to the world.
