Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 110, Section 109: Rahu Deceives the Styx
After leaving Biyou Palace, Ji Yuan went to the cave of Daoist Duobao and summoned Duobao, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and several other immortals who had previously served under him as the Heavenly Venerable of Childbirth and were comprehending the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

They went together to the foot of the Tongtian Jianmu tree, to the place where his Daoist temple was located. At this time, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Guangchengzi and others from the Chan Sect had already arrived.

"Senior brother, what is the purpose of gathering us together?"

Guang Chengzi asked respectfully. Ever since the Xuanyuan massacre, his admiration for Ji Yuan had been like a surging river, never ending. Now, he had also severed one of Ji Yuan's corpses by virtue of teaching the Human Emperor.

Ji Yuan didn't waste any words and said:
"It's about the Investiture of the Gods."

"Could it be that Senior Brother wants us to enter the Heavenly Court and compete for the Purple Qi?"

Duobao Daoist's eyes lit up. There were many benefits to comprehending the power. With Ji Yuan's protection, he might not have to obey the Heavenly Emperor's orders and could be free to the greatest extent possible, just like the Heavenly Venerable who was temporarily appointed to give children.

“Of course not.” Ji Yuan shook his head, then said, “The way to obtain purple energy based on the amount of Heavenly Dao merit seems extremely fair, but it is actually unfair. Among the divine positions, some divine positions are naturally easier to obtain merit. If you don’t understand this and rashly join the list, you will probably regret it a thousand times.”

At this time, the Investiture of the Gods had only been issued for a short time, yet many powerful figures had already gone to the Heavenly Court. Within the Jie Sect, the people were in a frenzy, as the allure of the purple aura was too great.

The God-Slaying Whip in his hand can only generate twelve divine positions, so naturally he can only bestow these positions upon a few of his closest acquaintances. These divine positions not only grant merit and the authority to comprehend the divine, but are also not subject to the jurisdiction of the Investiture of the Gods, and have the power to enforce the law against gods who do not abide by the heavenly rules and regulations. It is a triple benefit, and it should be noted that enforcing the law also brings merit.

The human heart is unpredictable, especially for cultivators. They create chaos and then solve it to earn merit. This kind of thing is bound to happen. Ji Yuan's God-Slaying Whip was derived from this. Although the Dao Ancestor resides in the Chaos, he is still very clear about this principle.

Ji Yuan then took out the God-Slaying Whip, which vibrated rapidly and transformed into twelve smaller God-Slaying Whips.

"This is a divine position evolved from the God-Slaying Whip. It is not governed by the Investiture of the Gods, but only by me. It has the power to enforce the law against gods who do not abide by the heavenly rules and regulations. Is there anyone willing to take on this role?"

"I come!"

Daoist Duobao was the first to step forward, showing complete trust in Ji Yuan.

Then came the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, Guangchengzi, Yuding Zhenren, and Taiyi Zhenren, all of whom carried a God-Slaying Whip.

The last one was handed to Kong Xuan. As for Xuan Du, Ji Yuan had already asked him. He had returned to the human race and was preparing to assist the Human Emperor and comprehend the ultimate truth of humanity.

After the Three Sovereigns, almost all the capable people in the human race had been eliminated. It's unknown what the Five Emperors will be able to do in the future.

Coming to his senses, Ji Yuan said:
"Fellow disciples, when you enforce the law in the world in the future, you can pay attention to the Demon Realm. Although the Demon Realm is currently hidden, it will surely appear soon. The struggle between the Dao and the Demon Realm is not over yet, and the Demon Realm may provide a lot of merit."

His tone became more serious:
"Furthermore, if you discover the entrance to the Demon Realm, never go there alone. Rahu, incarnation of calamity, can easily cloud your Dao heart and plunge you into various disasters."

After giving some more instructions, the disciples of the two sects went to various parts of the prehistoric world. Ji Yuan also began to search carefully for the entrance to the Demon Realm. He suspected that the remaining incarnations of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires had joined Rahu's side.

The birth of the Demon Realm can be traced back to the war between the Dao and the Demon. At that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun represented the Yang side of the primordial world, while Demon Ancestor Luohou represented the Yin side of the primordial world.

After the Dao Ancestor's victory, the Immortal Path suppressed the Demonic Path, and the Demonic Realm was banished to endless time and space. Somehow, Rahu connected it back to the Primordial World. The Demonic Realm is the yin side of the Primordial World. Although its essence is slightly lower than that of the Primordial World, it is definitely a great calamity.

Shortly after the Demon Realm passage appeared, it absorbed the calamity energy of heaven and earth. It is unknown why the Dao Ancestor did not stop it. Now that Rahu has transformed into the origin of calamity, he has absorbed so much calamity energy that he may elevate it to an extremely powerful level.

"Hey."

Ji Yuan sighed softly. "The world is ever-changing, and we understand it less and less."

The course of the primordial world has deviated far from what I remember, but fortunately I now have a foothold.

...............

Demon world.

This world is filled with an eerie and chaotic aura.

If the laws of the primordial world represent balance, then the laws of the demon realm are chaotic and bizarre.

At this moment, Rahu sat high in the demon realm, looking at the River Styx beside him, and chuckled softly:
“Fellow Daoist Styx, you wield the power of the Blood River, which is full of vitality. If you work with me to create the Demon Clan, you will have great enlightenment and great fortune. When our Demon Realm shines brightly throughout the heavens, you may well be able to descend from the Demon Path and achieve the position of a Saint.”

Luo Hou began his grand deception. Having finally connected the Demon Realm with the Primordial World, he believed that if the Demon Realm wanted to grow stronger, it would naturally have to learn from the Primordial World, create living beings, establish time order, and perfect the laws of the Dao... Now that he had the Primordial World as a reference, he no longer needed to rack his brains.

His first step was to persuade Styx to join him.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, allow me to think about it."

Styx's expression was rather unpleasant.

After he secretly sneaked into the prehistoric world, he was immediately spotted by Shennong. Since being injured by Zhen Yuanzi, he had been recuperating in the chaos and was not very clear about many things in the prehistoric world. He did not expect that Shennong was the reincarnation of Hongyun. He was almost captured as soon as he entered the prehistoric world.

If Rahu hadn't pulled him into the Demon Realm in time, he might be severely injured or dead by now.

But Rahu is not someone to be trifled with. The Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao and is a mortal enemy of Rahu. If I join the demonic path, I'm afraid I'll be rejected by the primordial world.

Styx thought for a moment and realized that he had nowhere else to go. Returning to Chaos would only allow him to eke out a living, and if he stayed there too long, he would be disliked by the Heavenly Dao. Returning to the Primordial World would be guarded by Shennong. Only in the Demon Realm could he find a glimmer of hope.

He then nodded emphatically:
"Fine! I'll take this bet with you."

After the great battle between Rahu and the Dao Ancestor, there was a saying that the Dao would decline and the demonic path would rise, and the rise of the Dao would lead to the decline of the demonic path. Now that Rahu has returned, does this mean that the demonic path will rise again? This is also why Styx dared to join the demonic path. He couldn't be any worse than before, so he might as well take a gamble.

"Very good! Fellow Daoist Styx, you will be glad you made this decision."

With a wave of his slightly illusory figure, Luo Hou conjured ten figures in front of Styx, their emotions extremely intense. These were the remaining manifestations of desire among the seven emotions and six desires that Ji Yuan had not yet found.

"Is this the embodiment of lust?"

"Exactly."

Luo Hou nodded: "They were originally sent down by the Heavenly Dao to undergo tribulation, but some troubles occurred in the process, and their true selves were born. Therefore, they are not rejected by the Heavenly Dao."

“Fellow Daoist Styx, your Blood River was also formed from Pangu’s navel. It is also not rejected by the Heavenly Dao. The incarnation of lust has no body. You create bodies for them, so that they can go to the prehistoric world to spread my great demonic cause.”
