Chapter 268 The Way of the Styx
[The blood sea of the Eternal Primordial Wasteland is much smaller than that of the Pangu Primordial Wasteland, and there are not many spiritual stones settled on the seabed. This is because when everyone is an immortal, there won't be too many deaths.]
[Plus, the Reincarnation Hall in Hou Tu has been operating normally here, so there are no souls floating here and forming spirit stones. The "Reincarnation Hall in the Blood Sea Branch Hall" is very idle...]
[But recently, things are different. Because of the countless souls that suddenly poured into the sea of blood, which numbered in the billions, the great witches in charge of the affairs of the reincarnation branch halls were sweating profusely. The great witches and small witches in the hall worked overtime and desperately, but it was still a drop in the bucket. ]
[In desperation, the Great Shaman of the Branch Hall had to call for support from the Main Hall... Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Samsara Hall, Hou Tu Niangniang, immediately mobilized personnel from all over the place, and countless Shamans, demons, and humans who served as various Yin Gods joined the battlefield! ]
[Since the first day the Asuras arrived in the Eternal Primordial World, the people from the Samsara Palace have never stopped coming. The entire Samsara system has collapsed due to these countless souls...]
[When you and Jin Bing, who was full of worries, arrived at the sea of blood, what you saw was such a chaotic scene: Yin gods from various races gave these confused souls a potion on the spot, and then took them away in batches and assigned them to the demon tribes in various parts of the prehistoric world to be reborn.]
[The witches in charge of making soup were sweating profusely, and the entire soup production line was a spectacular sight! ]
[However, considering the terrifying number of Asura souls, this production line may not be able to be stopped for a long time. After all, no one knows how many souls the Asura clan has better than you, the initiator...]
[“It’s the Emperor of Heaven who is back!”]
[“Emperor Xuantian! The savior hero!”]
【"loyalty!"】
[“Quack! Heavenly Emperor! We all respect you!”]
【“…”】
[Your arrival immediately attracted attention. The tens of millions of Asura Immortals who were temporarily residing in the sea of blood were so excited that they burst into tears when they saw you! ]
[People who were extremely fanatical shouted at the top of their lungs to prove and express their loyalty! ]
[They are not putting on a show, nor are they brainwashed by the Blood God Son. They are really crazy about you: you saved all the Asuras in the old wilderness with your own strength. In their eyes, you are really infinitely great and infinitely bright.]
[There is no need for Blood God to brainwash them, they are already your most extreme and brainless fans! ]
[The Asuras' enthusiastic reaction attracted the attention of the Yin Gods who were busy at the scene. When the Yin Gods of Reincarnation heard the word "Emperor of Heaven", they subconsciously thought that Xuan Du had come to visit incognito. However, when they looked in the direction of the voice, they only saw you and Jin Bing...]
[Hmm?! Wait a minute!]
【Jin Bing?! 】
[The Yin Gods were stunned, and then horrified: What's going on? Why is the late emperor here? ]
[The Asuras also saw Jin Bing, and shouted enthusiastically again.]
[“Emperor Jin Tian! Emperor Xuan Tian!”]
[“There are no three suns in the sky, there are only two suns in my heart!”]
【"loyalty!"】
[Like you, Jin Bing is also a great hero who saved the Ashura tribe. He is also very popular.]
[As everyone kept shouting, their emotions were completely out of control, and they all shouted that they wanted to overthrow the "false emperor of Xuandu" and "attack Lingxiao Palace and seize the throne"...]
[Extreme! Too extreme!]
[The Yin Gods were trembling with fear: they shouted "Down with the fake emperor" and "Seize the throne", and the late emperor even endorsed them... Are they really going to start another war in heaven, and force Emperor Xuandu to abdicate like they did to Emperor Jun?! ]
[Oh my god, this is going to be a big problem...]
[The Yin Gods who sensed that the atmosphere was not right looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing that the situation was not good, someone immediately began to secretly send a message to report that an "anti-heaven rebellious party" was plotting to overthrow the government! ]
【But someone else's eyes turned, and although he was also sending a message to the rear, the content of the message was: The situation is not right, follow the dragon in time! 】
[For a moment, just by your trip to the sea of blood, all the forces in the prehistoric world began to surge undercurrents...]
[Jin Bing sensed something was wrong, and realizing that something was wrong, he tried to remind you to be more restrained.]
[After all, Xuandu is still sitting in the Lingxiao Palace. It’s ok for you to shout the title of “Emperor of Heaven” in the old prehistoric world, but it’s a bit rude to shout it here...]
[However, you didn't care about this at all. Facing your subordinates' enthusiastic cheers, you didn't stop them because you were already used to their shouting.]
[You don’t care what they yell. In your opinion, it’s just their way of expressing gratitude to the savior.]
[So, you greeted your cheering subordinates with a laugh, and then, surrounded by their excitement, you went to meet the Father of Ashura, the Saint of the Styx...]
In the sea of blood, a newly built blood-red palace was quietly floating on the sea.
This is the dojo of the Saint of the Styx.
Xue Xuan came here amid the cheers of Jin Bing's millions of Asuras, and then the two separated.
Jin Bing stayed outside and began to arrange for the Asuras to rebuild their homes in this familiar yet unfamiliar land.
This is Jin Bing's strong point. He was able to build a prosperous market on the edge of the Blood Sea back then, and he can do the same now. Moreover, with abundant spiritual energy and natural treasures, he is confident that he can build a new Asura home that is even more prosperous and wealthy than the original one!
Xue Xuan straightened his face and respectfully entered the palace to meet the originator of Asura...
"Are you here?" Minghe sat in the empty palace and looked at Xue Xuan with complicated eyes.
"Father, I'm here."
Xue Xuan bowed down to Him respectfully:
This is sincere!
No matter what the Styx did to the Asuras, it cannot change the fact that he is the father of Asuras. Xue Xuan should have corresponding respect for the father god who created the race.
Looking at this son whom he was most satisfied with, Minghe opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. In the end, he could only say with mixed feelings:
"do you hate me?"
As soon as he asked this question, Minghe felt that he was really stupid!
Is there any need to ask this? My family knows my own business. Don’t you have any idea of how many immoral things you have done?
Logically speaking, it was not unfair for the Asuras to drag him out to offer sacrifice to the heavens...
However, Minghe still has some unrealistic wishes:
What if my son says he doesn’t hate me?
What if he is a filial son and always says, "I understand my father's difficulties", "My father is right", "If I were in my father's shoes, I would do the same"?
Even if the possibility is low, Minghe still holds out hope...
However, Xue Xuan only said calmly:
"Hate, how can I not hate?"
For a moment, Minghe felt that he was really ridiculous, always hoping that those ridiculous fantasies would become reality...
"Father, you have caused us so much trouble!"
Styx closed his eyes.
Curse! Curse! Curse as much as you can!
He was ready to be severely scolded, just to reduce the guilt in his heart and the anger that his most outstanding son had been holding back for countless years...
But Xue Xuan surprised Him again. He did not continue to curse, but just told the story quietly.
He told a story about a country boy's life from childhood to adulthood:
Natural disasters, harvest failure, man-made calamities, incompetent imperial court, famine, war... mortals are struggling on the brink of death and are in great pain, so they actually place their hopes on the unrealistic temptation of cultivating immortals!
Even if everyone knows that there is almost certainly something wrong, there are countless people who risk their lives and take their families to try their luck...
After I went there, I found out it was a scam!
The evil monks eat people at will, while the righteous monks eat people in an orderly manner. Eating people becomes the only way, and no matter whether they are good or evil, they must eat people.
Only after eating enough humans can everyone seek immortality and have the opportunity to pursue the fairyland that is like a beautiful dream!
Yes, another beautiful dream...
It’s not that the monks couldn’t guess that there was something wrong in the “immortal world”, but even if they guessed it, they would have to go there.
Having eaten countless people, they felt that they had committed serious sins, so they regarded the "immortal world" as a judgment:
If it is really wonderful, then that would be great. From now on, we won’t have to eat humans anymore!
If it is a scam, then it is good, because death is the end of everything, and it can be considered as paying for the life of the person who was eaten!
Then I saw that it was a scam...
In this vast world, there is not a single hope or way out. There is only one scam after another, sending countless hopeful people to death in despair!
However, the Father God above the starry sky kept talking about "tests" and "the overall situation". Even though He knew what was going on, He would still whitewash it again and again...
That country boy also grew up in this endless despair. He had an extreme personality, but his heart was always kind. He saw despair one after another, and finally saw the essence:
There is only despair in the world!
In order to save the world, he began to slaughter, slaughter against his own will, from vowing to slaughter all the immortals in the world, to being forced to slaughter all the mortals in the world... until he killed all the mortals in the world.
He couldn't take everyone away, so he chose to take everyone's souls away and carried the future of all living beings on his own shoulders.
He took on all the pressure, shouldered those things that shouldn't have been his responsibility, and tried to use his special abilities to find a glimmer of hope for people.
In a world full of despair, looking for a ray of hope that seems almost impossible to exist...
Failure after failure has caused him to have a mental breakdown many times, but he cannot turn back and can only move forward despite the breakdown...
"do not talk!"
Minghe opened his eyes, and they were blood red!
He is sad and He is angry.
He could not bear to hear this, for He was the one who had caused all of this.
But a saint will not admit his mistakes. There is a reason for the saint’s choices. This is the path he has chosen!
To admit one's mistakes is to deny one's own way...
Minghe took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and look like a kind father:
"I will compensate you and all the Asuras."
"...Xuan Du doesn't need to continue working here. I will make you the new Heavenly Emperor!"
