Chapter 146 Gathering Fortune and Reactions from All Sides
"Minghe, we are our teacher's disciples. If we do this, where will we place the Dao Ancestor?" Laozi looked at Minghe. There was no other way. Minghe held an absolute advantage at this moment. If he wanted to stop Minghe, he had no choice but to act in this way.
"It is precisely because you are disciples of the Dao Ancestor that you must issue a 'Decree of Self-Reproach,' reflecting on your own sins that have offended the primordial world. In this way, you will not harm the Dao Ancestor's sagacity," Styx said to Laozi with unwavering conviction.
Upon hearing this, Lao Tzu was speechless for a moment. There was nothing he could do; after all, they had lost.
In the primordial world, the losers had no voice.
"Alright!" Yuanshi wanted to say something more, but Laozi had already agreed.
"If that's the case, then we shall issue this edict of self-reproach." Laozi kept every moment of the day in mind and looked at the Styx River. But no matter how turbulent his heart was, Laozi's expression remained as unfathomable as the vast ocean.
They remembered this grudge.
Several years later, a voice of the Heavenly Dao, blessed by the Primordial Heavenly Dao, was broadcast throughout the entire Primordial World.
"Heaven's Way is above, and the Dao Ancestor bears witness."
-
The Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Heavenly Court is here today to issue an edict of self-reproach.
We, who have received the Mandate of Heaven and established the Heavenly Court to govern all realms, should revere Heaven and follow the Way to bring peace to the primordial world. However, we are of meager virtue and limited ability, and our selfishness has clouded our wisdom. Due to our own personal grievances, we have acted rashly and impulsively, and have recklessly started a war.
The defeat in this battle was truly due to our narrow-mindedness and unquenchable resentment, which led to the fall of countless great beings in the Heavenly Court. What have the common people done to deserve this defeat? This was truly due to our foolish and arbitrary decision-making, a single wrong thought that resulted in a catastrophic disaster.
If one's words and actions are inconsistent, then Heaven and Earth will condemn them, and even the immortals will reject them!
The six Heavenly Emperors, including the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Nuwa, jointly issued an edict of self-reproach, which, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, spread throughout the primordial world.
"Fellow Daoist Styx, is this alright?" In the Purple Cloud Palace, Yuanshi looked at Styx and said with a gloomy expression.
This edict of self-reproach completely shattered the prestige of the six Heavenly Emperors.
At the same time, a sudden change caused the Three Pure Ones to change their expressions, and a portion of their fortune dissipated after the "Edict of Self-Reproach" was proclaimed to the primordial world.
That is—the Pangu destiny that belongs only to them!
But this good fortune did not disappear into thin air; instead, it slowly gathered around Styx, making him feel as if his wishes were about to come true.
Soon, Styx figured out the cause and effect. Before the war, he had declared in front of all living beings in the prehistoric world that he was the "true descendant of Pangu". As a descendant of Pangu recognized by the Dao Ancestor, this had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and all living beings in the prehistoric world as a challenge by Styx to the Three Pure Ones.
Because the six Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court issued an edict of self-reproach, admitting their defeat in front of all living beings in the primordial world, the victorious Styx River was naturally able to plunder a portion of Pangu's fortune from the Three Pure Ones!
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully acquired a large amount of Pangu's fortune belonging to the Three Pure Ones. Your share among Pangu's descendants is increasing, and the completion rate of the first main quest has greatly improved.]
[The current reward for the host: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones (Supernatural Power)]
"Oh?" Styx was slightly taken aback. One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones?
This divine power is indeed powerful. During the Investiture of the Gods, Lao Tzu used this divine power to summon three avatars at the Saint level, and even the Tongtian Sect Master could not see any problems with them. More importantly, these three avatars could actually exert the combat power of the Saint level to a certain extent.
Relying on this One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones divine power, Laozi severely defeated Tongtian in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. It can be said that this is truly an excellent divine power; the stronger the user, the more terrifying the power this divine power can unleash.
"The Styx, what a vicious scheme." Laozi, feeling the Pangu fortune slipping away, finally understood why the Styx wanted them to issue a decree of self-reproach.
It's secondary to humiliating them and showing off one's own authority; what's truly important is that the Styx River has its eye on the Pangu fortune within them!
"Fellow Daoist Styx, you truly plan everything before you act," Nuwa thought to herself as she looked at Styx.
Having such an opponent is truly terrifying.
At this moment, the earth-shattering battle outside the Netherworld Blood Sea, and everything in the Purple Cloud Palace, as well as the Styx's coercion of the six Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court to issue an edict of self-reproach, all of this not only fell into the eyes of the prehistoric beings, but also did not escape Hongjun's sight.
"The River Styx—" At this moment, Hongjun, who had already merged with the Heavenly Dao, sighed softly.
Now that he has regained some of his will, Hongjun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at everything that was happening in the primordial world.
-
Yes, the Three Pure Ones are good, but the Styx River is just too loyal.
When he bestowed the Purple Cloud Seal upon Styx, Hongjun never expected Styx to come to the Purple Cloud Palace except in life-or-death situations, but Styx actually came.
Not only did they come, but they also stayed in Zixiao Palace to cultivate with great devotion.
In the battle against the Heavenly Court, it was no problem for the Styx River to go on a killing spree. After all, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array was all too clear to this Dao Ancestor who had already attained the Dao. Below the level of a sage, he could be said to be invincible.
When the Heavenly Court was preparing to slaughter the Underworld Clan and the Asura Clan and subdue the Ghost Immortals, Hongjun in the Heavenly Dao was already ready to take action. However, the Styx River was able to turn the tide and defeat the Heavenly Court without pushing it into a desperate situation.
He merely brought the quasi-saints of the Heavenly Court to the Zixiao Palace to reflect on their actions, and then forced the six Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court to issue an edict of self-reproach. It can be said that Styx had taken care of the face of this Dao Ancestor in every aspect. At the same time, more importantly, Hongjun suddenly realized that every step Styx took was extremely in line with his plans and calculations.
He neither took an extra step that would have thwarted his plans, nor retreated a step that would have damaged his reputation.
"The existence of the Styx River is truly my blessing." Hongjun looked at the primordial world at this moment. He didn't know when, but the general trend of the primordial world had once again returned to the best track he had envisioned, but he hadn't exerted much effort.
And who wouldn't like a subordinate like Styx?
In the west, Mount Sumeru.
"Senior brother, do you understand?" Zhunti asked, looking at Jieyin beside him.
"Yes, I see it." The guide nodded with a very complicated expression.
Both of them possessed supernatural powers, capable of seeing through time and space at a glance. Although this ability was not as great as that of the Three Pure Ones, observing a great battle taking place in the Netherworld Blood Sea was still a piece of cake for them.
The Zhou Tian Star Array was flawless in the eyes of Zhunti and Jieyin. If it had been the Zhou Tian Star Array itself instead of the three Heavenly Emperors that day, they would not have just lost their temporary qualification to go to the East, but would have razed the entire Mount Sumeru to the ground.
Yet this terrifying Heavenly Court, which was invincible in the eyes of Zhunti and Jieyin, still lost.
We lost to one person.
