That's right, this person is the Ancestor of Styx!
The great supernatural powers that Jiang Chen knew were closest to those of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, including Jade Emperor, Zhen Yuanzi, Yuanshi Demon Master, Minghe Ancestor, and Kunpeng Ancestor.
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 magical powers, Zhen Yuanzi, Jade Emperor, and Ancestor Minghe, only Ancestor Minghe could be persuaded by Jiang Chen to help him.
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 make trouble for himself at critical moments.
As for Zhen Yuanzi, to be honest, Jiang Chen was not familiar with him. The reason why the two were related was because they had 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 would work together to kill Patriarch Kunpeng.
Apart from this relationship, Jiang Chen has no other connection with Zhen Yuanzi. This kind of friendship was 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 would Zhen Yuanzi stand up for Jiang Chen if he had no relatives or friends? Risking offending a large group of comrades to protect Jiang Chen?
"The First Cause of All Realms"
With Zhen Yuanzi's good-natured temperament, even if Jiang Chen begged him, he would at best just not help each other and would never get involved in this matter.
Moreover, there was another factor that prevented Jiang Chen from joining forces with Zhen Yuanzi. That is, Jiang Chen has already reached cooperation with Ancestor Styx.
Like Patriarch Kunpeng, Patriarch Minghe was also the mastermind behind the murder of Patriarch Hongyun, and he was also the enemy of Zhen Yuanzi. It is not an exaggeration to say that the person Zhen Yuanzi wanted to kill more than Ancestor Kunpeng was Ancestor Minghe.
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 position?
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. Under such circumstances, Patriarch Hongyun has become Patriarch Kunpeng’s main target for revenge, which 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 if 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 Ancestor Kunpeng is to be forgiven, then Ancestor Styx is a typical example of killing people to seize treasures. He had no grievances with Patriarch Hongyun, but he killed Patriarch Hongyun. This behavior was disgusting and 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 against him long ago.
In this case, since Jiang Chen chose to cooperate with Ancestor Styx, 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 Styx.
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 absolutely outstanding.
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 was asking for help. It was difficult to keep silent and it was difficult to get his wish.
But the situation is different when it comes to Ancestor Styx. Now, Ancestor Styx 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, the Patriarch of Styx and Buddhism broke out in a war.
Then, this first person under the saints 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 Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He wants to transcend the world and endure all calamities.
If he didn't want to become the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, how could Patriarch Minghe become the first copying master in the world? When he saw that Nuwa had made humans holy, he immediately followed suit and created the Asura clan. When he saw that Sanqing and Jie Yinzhunti had established a sect and became saints, 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 a demon, even if he gives up his face, he will not hesitate.
It was precisely because of knowing this that Jiang Chen was confident in persuading Ancestor Styx to help him.
Being sealed by two saints, with the ability of the Styx Ancestor, 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 hands!
Unless a fellow saint breaks the seal left by the saint, only the innate treasure can break it.
If Jiang Chen offers to save him from trouble, Patriarch Styx will never refuse as long as it does not involve his own fundamental interests. Not to mention helping Jiang Chen, even if he was asked to give Jiang Chen the Twelfth Grade Fire Red Lotus, he would not 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.
Patriarch Styx is a true seeker, which can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to kill Patriarch Hongyun directly in order to become a saint. Whatever can help him achieve enlightenment, no matter good or bad, he will do it.
Good and evil, 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 stark 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 take action.
Because at that time, they had not yet become powerful, and they were not the overlords of heaven and earth later. 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 Ancestor Minghe to do whatever it takes to achieve enlightenment, and by using this character of his, Jiang Chen is sure to make Ancestor Minghe work for him.
If it were a person with great supernatural powers like 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 right path is to abide by the morality in the heart, do something and not do something.
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 savior of Patriarch Styx in order to make good friends with Zhen Yuanzi, right?
To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Chen doesn't 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 Make sure he makes friends.
He chose Styx 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.
And 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 or the Blood River, is naturally related to the Styx Ancestor.
Yes, that’s right, in order to occupy the destiny of these blood sea tributaries 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.
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 trace 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's as if he doesn't exist between heaven and earth.
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 completely disappeared. When people mention the Shang Dynasty, they will no longer say that he committed the crime of killing heaven, but that he offended Nuwa.
"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 ability to save his 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 Patriarch Styx has been sealed, is he still alive and well?
In fact, one of his clones survived and was only recently discovered by a Western sage.
It's not that the Second Sage of the West doesn't want to kill the Patriarch of Styx, but that he can't. The price to pay just to kill him is already beyond imagination, let alone to kill 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 Styx River, you must first dry up the sea of blood. The River Styx that spreads throughout the Netherworld is also part of the Sea of Blood. Evaporating them all can be easily done with the power of a saint.
But what happens after you do it? 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 Patriarch 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 number of words 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 naturally belongs to others.
The merit of reshaping the ancient world is indeed great, but only after success!
When the protagonist has worked hard to get everything done and is just short of 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.
