Chapter 6: The West is truly a perfect breeding ground for corpses.
"We were concerned for Fellow Daoist Styx's safety, and we apologize for our rudeness. Please forgive us, Fellow Daoist Styx." Jieyin looked at Styx and casually glossed over the previous matter.
"Fellow Daoists, if you had nothing to do, why would you come to my Netherworld Blood Sea? Since you have something to ask, why not speak frankly?" Styx did not choose to continue beating around the bush with Zhunti and Jieyin, but went straight to the point.
"Fellow Daoist Styx speaks frankly, which I admire. The cause and effect here have been established, and I'm sure Fellow Daoist Styx has already realized it. Please come to my Western Paradise for a chat, and you will naturally know." Jieyin looked at Styx in front of him, greeted him, and said.
"Yes, fellow Daoists, please." Styx looked at Zhunti and Jieyin in front of him, returned their greeting, and said with a smile.
Indeed, this is one of the reasons why he didn't kill Zhunti and Jieyin, because the cause and effect had already been formed.
As the creator of the zombie race, Styx also wanted to see how far the Western zombies had developed, to the point that they could even condense a piece of luck. It should be noted that even on the Blood Sea, there are not many zombies left.
Another thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and the Styx River followed Zhunti and Jieyin to the western wilderness.
The sight before him truly shocked Styx.
On the cracked western land, boundless demonic energy and malevolent energy surged forth from the shattered earth veins, and countless wronged souls and zombies roamed the land, which was filled with all kinds of evil energy.
What shocked Styx most was that many of the zombies were even stronger than Ying Gou, the Corpse Ancestor he had created.
However, upon further reflection, Styx understood. The batch of corpses he chose when creating Ying Gou was just a random selection. Those corpses were not powerful beings in life. Although Ying Gou was born with the title and fortune of the ancestor of zombies, in the current prehistoric world, he might not be stronger than his "descendants".
Especially in the West today, it has become a perfect breeding ground for corpses. The corpses of those beings who died tragically in the aftermath of Rahu's self-destruction but were still able to retain their bodies are "resurrected" in batches under the supplemented rules of the Heavenly Dao.
In conclusion, Styx created Ying Gou at the wrong time. If he had created the Corpse Ancestor after Hongjun merged with the Dao, these problems would probably not have occurred.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, we in the West are suffering. In the last great calamity, the final battlefield was on our Western land. The saints and all the great powers did their best to kill that demon Rahu, but we never expected that such a disaster would occur at the end."
Although this calamity of corpses cannot coerce us great beings, we are still great supernatural beings, and we should report to Heaven and Earth and benefit all living beings. This calamity of corpses is no different from a catastrophe for the weak creatures of the West. If it cannot be resolved, it will cut off the last thread of life for our West. Jieyin looked at the Styx River and cried out at just the right time, while secretly activating his own Great Dao of Cause and Effect.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, you jest. I meant well, to end the wars of the primordial world. Today's calamity in the West is the fault of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, not of this humble Daoist," Styx said expressionlessly as he looked at Jieyin.
I meant well.
Go tell that to the Demon Ancestor Rahu!
We are all living life to the fullest...
"However, my fellow Daoists, rest assured, I have a heart full of love, how could I abandon the West?" Styx said with a smile when he saw that Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions had changed.
The Way of Heaven is impartial, and the current situation in the West cannot be traced back to the Styx River, but it is inextricably linked to Hongjun and Rahu. Therefore, although the cause and effect is insignificant, it does indeed need to be resolved.
"Thank you for your compassion, fellow Daoist." Zhunti looked at the Styx River, his posture very humble. When you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.
"Fellow Daoists, I can use my supernatural powers to capture zombies and vengeful spirits and send them to the Netherworld Blood Sea. However, this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. But I have the supernatural powers of the Blood Gods, which can send one or two Blood Gods to the West to oversee the vengeful spirits and zombies at all times. As long as the corpses and souls are not emptied, they will not return. What do you two think?" Styx looked at Zhunti and Jieyin in front of him and said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, you are merciful." Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and bowed in unison.
"It's alright, it's alright." Styx waved his sleeve, summoning the boundless river of blood, which in an instant transformed into eighty thousand Blood God Child clones, heading towards various parts of the western land.
Only after the Blood God Child actually used this supernatural power did Styx realize that it was indeed quite something.
When the main body is annihilated, each Blood God Child clone can serve as the foundation for Styx's resurrection. Each Blood God Child possesses considerable strength, though far inferior to Styx's main body. However, Styx is, after all, the creator of the zombie race. The Soul Dao granted by the value system makes it easy for him to subdue some zombies and vengeful spirits born on the Western Land.
This is what is meant by specialization. With the Great Dao of the Soul present, for the Western Shamans who, at this stage, do not yet possess the various methods of salvation that will lead countless beings to their salvation, the Styx River can cleanse wronged souls far faster than they can.
"Fellow Daoist, your supernatural powers are truly amazing!" Zhunti looked at the Styx River and the rapidly decreasing number of zombies and vengeful spirits, and couldn't help but praise the Styx River.
"Such methods are beyond the reach of anyone but a sage," Jieyin commented from the side.
There's no other way; we're poor and can't offer any tangible rewards, so we can only provide emotional value.
"Senior brother, I've heard that the Styx River is based on the Great Dao of Slaughter and the Great Dao of Blood, but I never imagined that it would also have such a profound understanding of the Great Dao of Soul." Zhunti looked at Jieyin beside him and said with emotion.
Jieyin remained silent and did not give a reply.
The Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus appeared beneath Styx, who sat serenely on the lotus platform, silently cultivating, which once again drew envy from Cundi and Jieyin.
Neither of them possessed a spiritual treasure like the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which could assist in cultivation, combine offense and defense, and suppress destiny. Compared to Styx, they were like NPCs facing the protagonist, making it truly difficult to maintain a balance.
However, the two of them could naturally distinguish which was more important, and they silently stood beside the Styx River and began their cultivation.
More than 10,000 years later, the 80,000 Blood Gods sent by the Styx had already cleaned up the entire West in the open, and returned with a large number of zombies and wronged souls.
Of course, the West is not so easily cleaned up. Styx can only be considered to have cleaned up the vengeful spirits and zombies on the surface. The remaining problems cannot be solved by Styx alone in a short period of time.
"With this matter settled, Blood God Child will be in charge from now on. Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave." Styx rose from the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, retrieved Blood God Child and the zombies and vengeful spirits he had captured, and turned to leave.
Having karmic connections with Zhunti and Jieyin is not a good thing. Just look at Hongyun's fate to know that nothing is more important to Styx than creating the Asura race.
