That's right, this person is the Ancestor of Styx!
Among the great supernatural powers Jiang Chen knew who were closest in strength to Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, one was the Jade Emperor, one was Zhen Yuanzi, one was the Yuanshi Demon Lord, one was the Ancestor Minghe, and one was the Ancestor Kunpeng.
In a short period of time, Jiang Chen could only think of these five.
Among these five great supernatural beings, Demon Lord Yuanshi and Kunpeng Ancestor have a grudge against Jiang Chen, so it is definitely impossible to help him, so they must be eliminated first.
As for the remaining three great supernatural powers, Zhen Yuanzi, Jade Emperor, and Ancestor Minghe, the only one that Jiang Chen could confidently persuade to help him was the Ancestor Minghe.
The Jade Emperor, whose strength is unfathomable, is perhaps the strongest among the three. If he can get his help, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to Jiang Chen.
It's a pity that the Jade Emperor will most likely become Jiang Chen's enemy in the future. Not to mention helping him, if he doesn't insult him at the critical moment, he is already worthy of Jiang Chen.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. If Jiang Chen had a way to help the Jade Emperor achieve the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, then the Jade Emperor would definitely help Jiang Chen, and he would do so with all his strength.
It's a pity that if Jiang Chen had this ability, he wouldn't have to worry about the future. Therefore, Jiang Chen's requirements for the Jade Emperor are not high. It would be great if he could not add insult to injury at critical moments.
As for Zhen Yuanzi, to be honest, Jiang Chen is not familiar with him. The reason why the two of them are related is because they have a common enemy, the ancestor Kunpeng.
In order to avenge his friend Patriarch Hongyun and kill Patriarch Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi chose to join forces with Jiang Chen and made an agreement with him that when Jiang Chen succeeded in his cultivation, the two of them would work together to kill Patriarch Kunpeng.
Apart from this relationship, Jiang Chen has no other connection with Zhen Yuanzi. This kind of friendship is obviously not enough to persuade Zhen Yuanzi to help Jiang Chen at the critical moment.
After all, cooperating with Jiang Chen to kill Kunpeng Ancestor is a mutually beneficial thing for the two of them, and there is no question of who owes the other.
In this case, why did Zhen Yuanzi stand up for Jiang Chen when he had no relatives or friends? Risking offending a large group of comrades to protect Jiang Chen?
With Zhen Yuanzi's good-natured temperament, even if Jiang Chen went to beg him, he would at best just not help each other and would never get involved in this matter.
Moreover, there is another factor that prevents Jiang Chen from joining forces with Zhen Yuanzi. That is, Jiang Chen has already reached cooperation with Ancestor Minghe.
Like Ancestor Kunpeng, Ancestor Minghe was also the mastermind behind the murder of Ancestor Hongyun, and he was also the enemy of Zhen Yuanzi. It is no exaggeration to say that compared to Ancestor Kunpeng, the person Zhen Yuanzi wanted to kill more was Ming.
Ancestor He.
The reason is very simple. It can be said that it is excusable for Patriarch Kunpeng to take action against Patriarch Hongyun. After all, if Patriarch Hongyun had not been so troubled, how could Patriarch Kunpeng lose his holy status?
When Zixiao Palace was forced to abdicate, there were many people who had enemies with Ancestor Kunpeng, but Ancestor Hongyun had the weakest cultivation. Persimmons only pick on the weak, and in this case, Ancestor Hongyun became the
Ancestor Kunpeng's main target of revenge is completely understandable.
Therefore, although Patriarch Kunpeng was one of the masterminds of killing Patriarch Hongyun, he did not receive too much criticism because he had the righteousness of revenge.
Even when Zhen Yuanzi wanted to kill Patriarch Kunpeng to avenge Patriarch Hongyun, many people came forward to break up the fight at the very beginning.
If you want to say that Patriarch Kunpeng is excusable, then Patriarch Styx is a typical murderer to seize treasures. He had no enmity with Patriarch Hongyun, but he killed Patriarch Hongyun. This kind of behavior is disgusting.
He said that it deeply offended Zhen Yuanzi.
That is to say, the Ancestor of Styx is very powerful and can't get out of the sea of blood. Zhen Yuanzi can't do anything to him, otherwise he would have fought tooth and nail with him long ago.
In this case, since Jiang Chen chose to cooperate with Ancestor Minghe, it was tantamount to rejecting Zhen Yuanzi's friendship. Zhen Yuanzi did not attack Jiang Chen, so he was already well behaved.
Speaking of which, Jiang Chen didn't have a choice. If he had a choice, he would definitely choose to be friends with Zhen Yuanzi instead of cooperating with Ancestor Minghe.
Zhen Yuanzi, a well-known good old man from ancient times, was famous for his loyalty. In order to avenge his friend Ancestor Hongyun, he did not hesitate to make enemies of two of the top supernatural powers in the world.
This character is definitely awesome.
As for Patriarch Styx, needless to say, he can commit roadblocks, robberies, kill people and seize treasures, so what else needs to be said about his character?
If you have to choose one of these two people to be your friend, then as long as your brain is right, you must choose Zhen Yuanzi. He really cares about things, not just words.
Just look at the Kunpeng ancestor. In order to avoid Zhen Yuanzi's pursuit, he has not dared to leave Beiming since the ancient times, for fear that he would be killed by Zhen Yuanzi as soon as he left his lair.
Jiang Chen has no problem with his mind. He also wants to make friends with Zhen Yuanzi, but he has no choice now!
Between Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Minghe, the only one Jiang Chen could confidently persuade to help him was Ancestor Minghe.
There is a saying that asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot long sword. Jiang Chen asked Zhen Yuanzi for help, which meant that he had something to ask for. It was difficult for him to open his mouth and not say it, and it was also difficult for him to get his wish.
But the situation is different when it comes to Ancestor Minghe. Now, Ancestor Minghe is begging Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen can definitely take control of him and ask him to help him on the condition of returning his freedom.
In order to seize the power of the Netherworld, a war broke out between the ancestors of Styx and Buddhism.
Then, this first person under the saint has the merit of creating humans (Asura) and establishing religion (Asura Sect). He is known as the Immortal River of Styx, and I am the leader of the Asura Sect.
The first copying master, He, was sealed together with the Styx River by two saints from the Western religion, and completely disappeared from the stage of history.
If nothing else goes wrong, without anyone's help, the Styx Ancestor will remain sealed until the immeasurable calamity arrives and he will perish together with this world.
Therefore, Ancestor Minghe is extremely eager for freedom. He does not want to die with this world. He wants to become the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Daluo. He wants to transcend the world and endure all calamities.
If he hadn't wanted to become the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Daluo, how could Patriarch Minghe become the first copying master in the ancient world? When he saw the Nuwa Empress creating humans and becoming saints, he immediately followed suit and created the Asura clan. He saw Sanqing and Jie Yin
Zhunti established the sect and became a saint, and he quickly followed suit and established the Asura sect.
Even when he attacked Patriarch Hongyun later, it was also to rob him of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
It can be said that in order to become the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, Ancestor Minghe has become so demonic that he will not hesitate to give up his dignity.
It was precisely because of knowing this that Jiang Chen was confident in persuading Ancestor Minghe to help him.
He was sealed by two saints together. With the ability of the ancestor of Styx, he would never be able to escape in this life. But Jiang Chen was able to save him because Jiang Chen had an innate treasure in his hand!
The seal left by the saint can only be broken by the existence of the saint, and only the innate treasure can break it.
If Jiang Chen offers to save him from trouble, as long as it does not involve his own roots, Ancestor Styx will never refuse. Not to mention helping Jiang Chen, just asking him to give Jiang Chen the Twelfth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Chen, he wouldn't even frown.
Compared with regaining a new life, what are some harsh conditions and some external possessions? You are the foundation, and apart from that, there is nothing that cannot be given up.
Ancestor Styx is a true seeker, as can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to directly kill Ancestor Hongyun in order to become a saint. He will do anything that can help him achieve enlightenment, no matter good or bad.
Good and evil, as well as his own honor and disgrace, are all nothing to him. In order to achieve enlightenment, there is nothing to care about.
Of course, this does not mean that the behavior of Patriarch Styx is right. On the contrary, his behavior is inconsistent with mainstream values and is 100% demonic behavior.
That is to say, in the past, when the Nether Realm was not open, the Sea of Blood had the function of gathering souls instead of the Nether Realm. It was too important to be destroyed. As early as the ancient times, the ancestor of Styx was killed by Donghuang Taiyi.
In sharp contrast to Patriarch Styx, are the two brothers Taiyi and Di Jun. They also covet the Hongmeng Purple Qi of Patriarch Hongyun, but they can bear not to do anything.
Because at that time, they had not yet become powerful and were not the overlords of heaven and earth that they later became. They were still part of the righteous path, so they could not do anything that went against the righteous path.
…
It is the character of Patriarch Minghe to do whatever it takes to achieve enlightenment, and by using this character of his, Jiang Chen is sure to make Patriarch Minghe work for him.
If it were a person with great supernatural powers like the Jade Emperor and Zhen Yuanzi, even if Jiang Chen could help him achieve enlightenment, as long as the conditions proposed contradicted the moral principles in their hearts, they would refuse without hesitation.
The difference between the righteous path and the demonic path is that the righteous path has a bottom line, but the demonic path does not. They do things without any scruples. The true righteous path adheres to the moral principles in the heart, and does things and does not do things.
Jiang Chen knew that he would definitely not be able to get help from Zhen Yuanzi, but at the same time, he also knew clearly that he could persuade Ancestor Minghe to help him. Under such circumstances, Jiang Chen would naturally choose the one that was beneficial to him.
You can't give up the Patriarch Styx as your savior just to make good friends with Zhen Yuanzi, right?
To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Chen does not cooperate with Ancestor Minghe, he may not be able to win the friendship of Zhen Yuanzi. Using the chips he already has in hand to gamble with uncertain chips, how can a smart person like Jiang Chen
Could he do something so stupid?
It made Jiang Chen insist on making friends with Zhen Yuanzi... He just said that if he had to choose one to be friends between Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Minghe, the best choice would be Zhen Yuanzi, not
He must make friends.
Choosing Styx was not because he was the best choice, but because besides him, Jiang Chen had no other choice.
…………
………………
This is not the first time Jiang Chen has come to Styx, but compared to before, he is more powerful, so he knows a lot of information that he didn't know before.
For example, the River Styx and the Sea of Blood are one. When Empress Houtu transformed into reincarnation and opened up the Netherworld, the Sea of Blood sank into the Netherworld, merged with its origin, and gave rise to countless tributaries.
These tributaries are called Styx.
At the same time, the reason why the Styx River is called the Styx River, rather than the Youhe River, Blood River or something like that, is naturally related to the Styx Ancestor.
Yes, that's right, in order to occupy the fate of these tributaries of the Blood Sea and prevent them from falling into the hands of outsiders, the ancestor of Styx directly named these tributaries after himself.
As for later, the name of the Styx River changed to Wangchuan River, Huangquan and so on, which were all good things done by Buddhism, and the purpose was to eliminate the traces of the existence of the Styx ancestor.
If you want to completely kill a person with great supernatural powers, the first thing to do is to downplay his existence, erase all traces of him in the world, and let "his" existence gradually change from existence to non-existence. In this way,
It can kill it completely and make it impossible to resurrect.
On this point, the human race has the most say. The Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor who was killed by the human race really left no trace behind.
Even now, Jiang Chen has become a human king, but he still doesn't know the name of the Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor and his specific deeds.
"He" really disappeared.
There is no mark of him in the long river of destiny, no trace of him in the river of time and space, and no trace of him in the world. It is as if he does not exist in the world at all.
In fact, even the four words Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor themselves are fading away, and it is estimated that these four words will disappear after a while.
At that time, the truth about the destruction of the Shang Dynasty had completely disappeared. When people mentioned the Shang Dynasty, they would no longer say that he had committed the crime of killing heaven, but that he had offended the Nuwa Empress.
"Buddhism probably doesn't really want to kill Patriarch Styx, or rather, it's impossible to kill him at all."
On the way to the sealing place of Ancestor Styx, Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly thought of the Styx River that spread throughout the Netherworld, Ancestor Styx was powerful.
The great thing about Patriarch Styx is not his strength, but his method of preserving life. He is truly immortal, and even a saint cannot kill him.
In order to deal with the Styx Ancestor, the two Western Saints took action at the same time. It was impossible to say that they did not want to kill the Styx Ancestor. But what was the final result? Although the Styx Ancestor was sealed, he was not alive yet.
Be fine?
In fact, one of his clones survived and was only recently discovered by a Western saint.
It's not that the Second Sage of the West doesn't want to kill Patriarch Styx, it's that he can't. Just to kill him, the price he has to pay is beyond imagination, let alone killing him completely.
There is a saying that unless the sea of blood dries up, the river Styx will never die. If you want to kill the ancestor of the sea of blood, you must first evaporate the sea of blood. And the river styx that spreads throughout the Netherworld is also part of the sea of blood. Evaporate them all to dry up.
A saint can do it easily.
But what happens after that? Because of the drying up of the River Styx, the ecosystem of the Netherworld was severely damaged. At that time, the karma generated by this incident was enough to drag Western religion into a situation of eternal catastrophe.
Do the Second Saints of the West dare to risk such consequences and kill the Patriarch of Styx? Obviously not!
Western religion is their lifeblood. It involves their transaction with the way of heaven, and no damage is allowed.
ps: The following word count does not count:
Let’s talk about seizing Jiang Chen’s achievements. Isn’t this a typical case of taking credit?
You have done everything well, thought of everything, and are just waiting to reap the results. At this time, you are suddenly removed and replaced by someone else. Then, the credit will naturally belong to others.
The merit of reshaping the prehistoric world is indeed great, but only after it is successful!
When the protagonist has worked hard to get everything done and is just missing the last step, wouldn't it be possible to kill the protagonist and replace him with himself?
After all, as long as I do the last step, the credit is mine.
