Chapter 57 Hongjun's Helplessness
What were the consequences of Styx's actions?
First of all, let's talk about the most direct result: the Witch Clan has received an epic boost!
The cultivation levels of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the rest of the Witch Clan will increase significantly. Not to mention, it was already difficult to maintain the balance of power between the Witch Clan and the myriad races of the prehistoric world during this great calamity, and now it is even more difficult.
Now, what if the Twelve Ancestral Witches wanted to rush out and kill Di Jun and Dong Wang Gong? Should they let this sage personally intervene?
Can he play once, twice, or three times?
In that case, wouldn't the majesty of a sage be completely lost?
If the dough can't be saved, how can we expect to save the filling?
If all living beings in the primordial world were to understand that he was targeting the Wu Clan, and even that he was planning a cataclysmic event that would cause the Wu Clan and most of the elites of the primordial races to perish together, and even use the karmic force of the cataclysmic event to weaken the primordial races, would the Xuanmen and the Immortal Path still be the mainstream in the hearts of the primordial beings?
The blessing of the Earth Immortal Path to the Primordial World has given the Witch Clan, whose original merits from the creation of the world were being consumed by the evil deeds they committed, a way to continuously earn merits. When the evil deeds committed by the Witch Clan exceed the maximum amount of merits that the Earth Immortal Path can acquire, and thus consume their merits from the creation of the world, it is unknown how far the Witch Clan's power will expand!
In Hongjun's plan, Buzhou Mountain must collapse. Otherwise, all the beings in the prehistoric world will be able to see Buzhou Mountain as soon as they look up, and then be grateful for Pangu's legacy, and gather Pangu's fortune for the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. When will he be able to completely control the Heavenly Dao of the prehistoric world, and make all the beings in the prehistoric world only know him as the Dao Ancestor, and only have their hearts turned to the Xuanmen?
Hongjun knew that the height of Buzhou Mountain was not constant; it was constantly increasing. Buzhou Mountain supported the heavens and the earth, and its ley lines connected most of the primordial earth lines, having the effect of condensing spiritual energy in the heavens and the earth and gathering evil energy to sink into the earth lines.
It can be said that as long as Mount Buzhou still exists, the primordial world cannot be turned upside down. And even if one can successfully merge with the Dao in a primordial world with Mount Buzhou, it is extremely difficult to completely master the Dao.
To cause Mount Buzhou to collapse, the only option is to have the Wu tribe, specifically one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, do it.
Only the twelve ancestral witches, who are descendants of Pangu, and only those ancestral witches who possess the merit of creating the world, are qualified to angrily strike Buzhou Mountain. Otherwise, even a saint would find it extremely difficult to knock down Buzhou Mountain!
However, from a long-term perspective, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have connected themselves with the earth veins of Buzhou Mountain, which has almost severed their plans to have the Witch Clan knock down Buzhou Mountain through design.
Because now the Twelve Ancestral Witches have entrusted their own path to Mount Buzhou, no matter how desperate a great supernatural being is, it is impossible for him to destroy his own future!
Of course, there are also the Three Pure Ones, but how could the Three Pure Ones do something that would absolutely incur enormous karma and cause and effect, and ruin their future?
It can be said that the Wu Clan obtained the Earth Immortal Dao, which greatly hindered their plan to plan the Great Tribulation, merge with the Dao, and then control the Primordial Heavenly Dao to prove that they had transcended the Great Dao!
But·
Hongjun's holy eyes fell upon the sea of blood, and he finally shook his head helplessly.
What else can be said?
He didn't tell anyone about his plan, and from this perspective, Hongjun quickly found a perfect explanation for Styx's behavior.
For the sake of Xuanmen's fortune and for the sake of him, the Dao Ancestor, Styx had been meticulously planning for a long time. Hongjun was quite certain that Styx was one of the few among the three thousand guests of Zixiao who cared about Xuanmen's fortune and how powerful the Dao Ancestor was. Therefore, Styx's actions must be aimed at increasing Xuanmen's fortune and thus rewarding him, the Dao Ancestor.
Because Styx has been doing this for countless years, the inertia of thought, coupled with the fact that from Styx's perspective there is only this one possibility, makes it impossible for Hongjun to doubt Styx.
With the emergence of the Earth Immortal Path, all twelve Ancestral Witches entered the Earth Immortal Path. For the first time, the Immortal Path extended its reach into the Witch Clan, which lacked a primordial spirit. The fortunes of the Immortal Path and the Xuanmen also increased significantly!
"Although the disciples of the Dao Ancestor targeted him several times, Styx was still selfless and devoted to the cause of the Xuanmen and the Immortal Path. For this, he risked his life and went alone to Buzhou Mountain to cooperate with the Ancestral Witches after deducing the Earth Immortal Path."
Ultimately, the Earth Immortal Path was successfully implemented among the Witch Clan, greatly enhancing the fortunes of the Immortal Path and the Mystic Sect. This was the logic behind the Styx's actions as analyzed by Hongjun after reviewing the events.
Apart from the fact that Styx had a plan he was unaware of and could not possibly know, which led to Styx acting in his best interests as the Dao Ancestor, but the final outcome being completely contrary to his plan, everything else was perfect.
Even from Styx's perspective, Hongjun might not have been able to do as much as Styx.
"Alas—" Hongjun sighed deeply.
"Styx, how come I still lack the luck of the Witch Clan?" Hongjun thought to himself. However, although Styx had done something wrong, Hongjun did not blame Styx.
There was no other way. As a loyal subordinate to the Dao Ancestor, Styx had already done his utmost. Without knowing the ultimate goal, Styx devoted himself to the Dao and burned himself out.
What else can be said?
Is it because the Styx River is too loyal?
As a saint, with such a magnanimous heart, how could he be like this?
At this moment, Hongjun not only did not blame Styx, but admired Styx even more. However, the combination of the Witch Clan and the Earth Immortal Path had already led to the current situation in the prehistoric world, and a new plan had to be made.
"We must make things difficult for the Three Pure Ones again." After only a moment's thought, Hongjun had already devised a plan.
Given the current power of the Wu Clan, Hongjun could not allow them to continue developing indefinitely. Once the Wu Clan had established their dominance, the only way to counterbalance them was undoubtedly for the Three Pure Ones to intervene.
Isn't this too hurtful to them?
Hongjun pondered that this plan would inevitably drag the Three Pure Ones into the great calamity. At that time, even if the Three Pure Ones had the merit of creating the world to protect them, they would probably not be able to escape so easily.
What about the Three Pure Ones? Hongjun began to ponder.
Gradually, Hongjun recalled the many times Yuanshi had defied him in Zixiao Palace. When he ordered Yuanshi to go into seclusion to "cultivate his mind," Hongjun had "instructed" Laozi and Tongtian to attack the Styx River outside Zixiao Palace, and even dared to disregard Haotian, whom he had sent to deliver the imperial decree, in front of all the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world.
Hongjun, who had been somewhat hesitant, immediately made up his mind.
Meanwhile, in the Kunlun Mountains, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian gathered together once again, with anger evident on the faces of Yuanshi and Tongtian.
Even Lao Tzu, who always adhered to the principles of detachment from worldly affairs and non-interference in governance, and was very composed, had a somewhat solemn expression at this moment.
"The Styx River and the Emperor River, their hearts are despicable, their hearts are despicable!" Yuanshi looked in the direction of Buzhou Mountain and was furious!
