Chapter 24 Hongjun's Gaze
"What?"
"How did you find out?" Dijiang looked at Zhurong with a hint of newfound respect.
He only mentioned that feeling casually at the time and didn't care about it afterward. After all, the little bit of luck that the Styx River took away could have a negligible impact on them. In the process of the rapid expansion of the Wu Clan, they were destined not to be as perceptive as the Three Pure Ones without a primordial spirit.
"I learned of this by chance," Zhu Rong replied, looking at Di Jiang.
Strangely enough, Zhu Rong overheard this while hunting blood sacrifices with his people. He didn't think much of it, nor did he have time to think about it. He quickly connected this with the feelings that Di Jiang and Hou Tu had expressed after listening to the sermon at Zixiao Palace.
What angered Zhu Rong even more was that those blood sacrifices actually uttered wild words, saying that the true lineage of Pangu should be given to a compassionate being like Styx, and that their Wu tribe's actions of poisoning living beings were not worthy of the father god's compassionate heart in sacrificing himself to create the world.
Those creatures should just obediently be enslaved by the witch clan and become their blood food. Why do they have so many other thoughts?
The primordial world was a dog-eat-dog world.
"Furthermore, elder brother, among all the creatures of the primordial world, there are actually people who believe this nonsense—descendants of Pangu? The Styx River doesn't even deserve it!" Zhu Rong said indignantly.
Although the Wu tribe is expanding rapidly, it has not yet reached the stage of the future Wu ruling the land. His tribe has not gone far from Buzhou Mountain. The creatures here only know that there is a powerful being called Styx in the Blood Sea, but do not recognize that their Wu tribe is the true descendant of Pangu!
How can this be allowed?
"Why do I feel something's off?" Gonggong looked at Zhurong, feeling that the other party couldn't possibly have figured out such information.
"This is outrageous! Elder brother, tell me, when are we going to conquer the Styx River!" Xuanming exclaimed, his body radiating a chilling aura.
Most of the twelve Ancestral Witches were enraged by the news brought by Zhu Rong. They did not take action in Zixiao Palace, firstly out of respect for the Sage, and secondly... because they had not yet realized what had happened.
The twelve Ancestral Witches had an excellent relationship and trusted each other completely. They had no doubt about what Zhu Rong said.
Given the raging tempers of the Ancestral Witches... even the Three Pure Ones, who are extremely well-mannered, could not tolerate such a thing, let alone them.
"Hmph! Descendants of Pangu? The Styx really knows how to pat itself on the back!" The Ancestral Witch Qiangliang was furious, and he was also eager to take action against the Styx.
Among the ancestral witches, only four remained silent, including Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, Houtu, and Gonggong.
Houtu's intuition told her that something was wrong, while Gonggong simply supported what Zhurong supported and opposed what he opposed.
"Zhu Jiuyin!" Dijiang looked at Zhu Jiuyin. The other party was in charge of the laws of time and was the wise man of the entire Wu clan. He had stepped into the river of time and could deduce a lot of key information for the Wu clan.
"Hmm." Zhu Jiuyin closed his eyes, activated the laws of time, and began to deduce.
Dijiang pondered. As the leader of the Wu tribe, he often couldn't act entirely according to his own wishes. Instead, he hid his true intentions beneath his reckless exterior in order to maximize the interests of the Wu tribe.
Although most of the time he just goes for the reckless, Dijiang still has considerable thinking ability.
"Elder brother!" Houtu looked at Dijiang, her brows furrowing.
"Elder brother, what are we waiting for? Fight our way up to the Blood Sea, find the River Styx, and kill it. This matter will naturally be settled then," Qiang Liang and the other Ancestral Witches urged.
"Brothers, return to your respective tribes, gather your men, and await my instructions," Dijiang said solemnly to the group of ancestral witches before him.
"it is good."
"Elder brother, it should have been done long ago!"
"Remember, you must not act without my orders," Dijiang said, looking at his brothers.
After the group of Ancestral Witches left, leaving only Zhu Jiuyin and Houtu who were activating the laws of time to deduce the cause and effect, Dijiang turned around and looked at Houtu.
……
Meanwhile, the Styx River continued its journey across the primordial land.
He preached among one race after another, proclaiming the name of Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor. At the same time, temples dedicated to the sage Dao Ancestor sprang up among the various races of the prehistoric world.
One by one, streams of fortune were gradually condensed according to the will of all living beings.
Meanwhile, on the vast land of the primordial world, Styx gradually gained fame, but this time not for the infamous reputation of "cultivating the Great Dao of Slaughter and being boundless in killing," but for the good reputation of "being grateful" and "a compassionate person."
Combined with his creation of the Ghost Immortal Path and his status as the ancestor of Ghost Immortals, which gave all living beings in the primordial world a way out, Styx's reputation became extremely good for a time.
After all, in the primordial world, who can guarantee that they will not die one day? Who can guarantee that they will be reincarnated after death and continue to exist in the primordial world as a ghost immortal? This is a good thing for all the beings in the primordial world.
For races that have writing, or inherited divine scripts, innate Dao patterns, etc., Styx borrowed their writing. If they did not, he simply invited them to Shouyang Mountain.
Of course, nothing Styx did escaped Hongjun's eyes.
How sensitive are sages to the workings of destiny?
The name "Dao Ancestor" is becoming more and more solid as temples dedicated to Dao Ancestor rise from the ground. Although he will obtain the name of Dao Ancestor sooner or later, Styx's spontaneous actions have undoubtedly accelerated this process.
Who wouldn't want their plans to be executed faster and more perfectly?
Who wouldn't like someone as "loyal" as Styx?
Similarly, what happened at Buzhou Mountain did not escape Hongjun's notice.
In the blink of an eye, a sage can see the past and the future, and in a single glance, can see through all living beings in the world.
Unless a sage intervenes, nothing can be hidden from a sage.
From the moment Yuanshi devised a plan to provoke Zhurong in the name of the true lineage of Pangu, intending to use the Wu tribe to kill people, to the gathering of the twelve ancestral witches at the Pangu Temple, he witnessed it all.
He couldn't see through the Pangu Temple, but there was no need to, because it was meaningless. After all, given the style of the Wu Clan, what actions would they take when they gathered together? Did they need to deduce them?
Hongjun pondered what Yuanshi's purpose was in doing this, especially since, when Styx was reciprocating his kindness in spreading the Dao in the primordial world, allowing all beings to feel the gratitude of this sage, he devised such a terrible scheme to ambush and kill Styx.
Styx was simply grateful for the saint's teachings; what wrong had he done?
Is it wrong to be grateful?
To be honest, the title of Styx, a descendant of Pangu, was bestowed upon him by the sage. So, is this dissatisfaction with His decision?!
In Hongjun's view, Yuanshi's plan was perfect, and his first move was a killing blow. Even if someone in the Wu clan realized it, if it was confirmed that Styx wanted to claim the title of "the true descendant of Pangu", the Wu clan would definitely take action.
When those witch clans take action, they become so engrossed that they don't care about anything else, like merit or karma. Whether the witch clans dare to evaporate the sea of blood is another matter, but what is certain is that the Ghost Immortal Path, which has just begun to improve, and even the Asura Clan, which will occupy one of the six paths in the cycle of reincarnation in the future, will definitely suffer a devastating blow.
