Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

After leaving Yuxu Palace, the Heavenly Dao turned and went to the Underworld.

This underworld is controlled by the Ten Kings of Hell, established by the Creator, and not the ancient netherworld ruled by the Lord of Mount Tai and the Goddess Houtu.

The reason why Heaven came here was to invite Ling Yun's former friend, the Styx Ancestor.

The Styx Ancestor resides in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

His cultivation level was among the best of the ancient gods of the primordial era.

Going it alone doesn't belong to anyone.

Even if he is outnumbered, he will not be in a deadly situation.

Because the entire Netherworld Blood Sea is his original incarnation.

There was a saying among the ancient gods of the primordial era: "As long as the sea of ​​blood never dries up, the River Styx will never die."

This refers to the tenacious vitality of the Styx Ancestor.

When the Heavenly Dao arrived at the Netherworld Blood Sea, it did not directly break in.

He stopped and asked, "Ancestor Styx, an old friend has come to visit. May I come out to see him?"

The Styx Ancestor responded, "Heavenly Dao, you reside high in the Purple Cloud Palace, while I dwell in the Netherworld Blood Sea. Though we are old acquaintances, we have kept to ourselves and lived in peace for so many years. Let's not make things difficult for each other!"

The Styx Ancestor politely declined the offer from Heaven.

Heaven had already foreseen this outcome.

He spoke up, "Ancestor Styx, you probably don't know this yet! The Human Ancestor, Ling Yun, has already stormed the Heavenly Realm, preparing to fight the Creator. It's a pity she doesn't know where the Creator is hiding. If this drags on any longer, once the Creator fully recovers from his injuries, Ling Yun's fate will likely be even worse than before..."

The Styx Ancestor understood the unspoken meaning behind Heaven's words.

He deliberately retorted, "Heavenly Dao, what is the meaning of your coming to the Underworld to find me?"

“Ancestor Styx, we are both intelligent people, so there’s no need for us to speak in riddles. If you trust me, let me into your Netherworld Blood Sea for a chat.” The Heavenly Dao then made his request.

"But the key issue now is, why should I, the Ancestor, believe you? If you hadn't betrayed us and sided with the Creator, we ancient gods of the primordial era wouldn't be in this state now!" Ancestor Styx didn't believe in the Heavenly Dao at all.

The Heavenly Dao explained, "Ancestor Styx, I know you don't believe me. But there's something I'll say that you'll understand deeply. Who among us ambitious people doesn't want to be the leader?"

The Styx Ancestor was somewhat excited upon hearing this.

"So, you also want to take it a step further..."

"Shh!"

The Heavenly Dao gestured for silence to the Styx Ancestor.

"There are some things that are safer to say in your Netherworld Blood Sea. That's your absolute territory, so you shouldn't worry that I'll attack you there, right?"

The Heavenly Dao deliberately uttered the last sentence to provoke the Styx Ancestor.

"Ha! Even if the Creator himself came, he wouldn't be able to kill me in my territory. Just come in."

Say it.

The Styx Ancestor opened the gate to his Netherworld Blood Sea.

Suddenly, a wave of blood swept over them.

Following the wave of blood, the Heavenly Dao entered the Netherworld Blood Sea directly.

Upon seeing the Styx Ancestor, the Heavenly Dao spoke without hesitation: "Styx Ancestor, I know where the Creator is recuperating. I would like to ask you to go to the Heavenly Realm and inform Ling Yun of this. Let her lead the gods to kill the Creator while his old wounds are still healing."

The Styx Ancestor retorted, "Heavenly Dao, I am not a three-year-old child. You could send anyone to deliver this message to Ling Yun. Why did you have to come down to the mortal realm to find me?"

Tiandao added, "Lingyun no longer trusts me. If I send someone to tell her this news, she'll probably think it's a conspiracy. But you're different. You and Lingyun are close friends, so she'll naturally believe whatever you say."

"Is that all?" the Styx Ancestor pressed.

"Of course, that's not all. The reason I'm in such a hurry is that in thirty-three years, the Creator will recover and emerge from seclusion. By then, no matter how well Ling Yun prepares, he will no longer be a match for him. We will forever be subservient to the Creator. I've had enough of this kind of life, so I implore you, brother, to do me this favor as soon as possible," the Heavenly Dao replied truthfully.

The Styx Ancestor countered with a question to the Heavenly Dao: "You are a smart man, you should know that this is not what I am asking. What I am asking is, after Ling Yun kills the Creator, what do you plan to do?"

The Heavenly Dao responded, "What else can we do? Of course, we must restore the order of the ancient gods and let them each govern the laws of the world. Rest assured, even as the Heavenly Dao, I will not exercise autocratic rule like the Creator!"

"Ah!"

Ancestor Styx snorted coldly.

"Brother Tiandao, since you refuse to tell me the truth, then you should leave immediately. I never joke with people who aren't my friends."

Heaven knew that the Styx Ancestor was not to be fooled.

He said frankly, "Let's not beat around the bush. My plan is to kill Ling Yun after he has dealt with the Creator, and then dominate the Heavenly Realm and even the entire universe."

The Styx Ancestor said excitedly, "That's right! Now I want to know, what kind of benefits will you give me after this is done?"

The Heavenly Dao answered the question: "Ancestor Styx, whatever you desire, I will give it to you, is that alright?"

The Styx Ancestor said, "That won't do; I need it now."

The Heavenly Dao frowned.

"I wonder what you want, Ancestor Styx? As long as it's within my power, I will give it to you."

The Styx Ancestor stated bluntly, "I want the laws of spacetime. If you give them to me, I will go to heaven to find Ling Yun and help her kill the Creator."

"But I don't know how!" Tiandao shook his head.

"Stop pretending. Don't think I don't know. You betrayed us and sided with the Creator back then in order to obtain the laws of spacetime. So many years have passed, and you have probably already comprehended the laws of spacetime. Your cultivation is far above mine, so why hide it from me?" Ancestor Styx directly exposed his lie.

"Alright! Since you know everything, Brother Styx, I won't hide it from you anymore. I have indeed comprehended the Great Dao of Time and Space, and I am only one step away from achieving Dao."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip of inheritance and handed it to the Styx Ancestor.

"This is the fundamental law of spacetime that the Creator passed down to me."

Ancestor Styx crushed the jade slip, and the Great Dao light bloomed directly in his Netherworld Blood Sea.

"Hahaha, it truly is the supreme path. I will eventually have to take that final step."

The Styx Ancestor was extremely excited.

The Heavenly Dao reminded him, "Ancestor Styx, I have done what you asked of me. What about what you promised me? When do you plan to do it?"

The Styx Ancestor replied, "Tell me, where is the Creator recuperating? I will go to heaven and tell Ling Yun this news."

The Way of Heaven says: "The Creator is now in the unknowable realm!"
