Primordial Era: The true lineage of Pangu, which Styx River is this?

Chapter 21 Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, the opportunity to create characters is fraught with difficulty; y

In fact, for the primordial world, the changes that have taken place in the Blood Sea in this short period of time have already surpassed those of countless previous years.

Compared to the lifeless scene before, the Blood Sea is now not exactly "full of life," but it does have quite a few moving creatures.

However, the management of the Netherworld Blood Sea can no longer be as ineffective as before... almost non-existent.

However, how to manage the Blood Sea has become another problem. The Blood Sea is now mainly composed of the zombie clan led by Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou, many ghost immortals, and the Asura clan created by Styx.

Among them, the zombies and ghost immortals are relatively strong, while the Asuras, although nurtured by the River Styx for many years, have far surpassed their former size and overall cultivation level, they are still considerably weaker than the zombies and ghost immortals.

After all, the Asura race came into existence from nothing, but the ghost immortals and zombies already possessed various cultivations and supernatural powers in their previous lives.

Of course, these three parties are still very weak in the prehistoric world. For a great supernatural being at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, a race with high-end combat power of only Golden Immortal level, no matter how many there are, can be wiped out with a wave of the hand. This is both a difference in absolute numerical value and a difference in absolute mechanism.

However, the Ghost Immortals, as one of the five categories of immortals ("Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Ghost"), are an important component of the future underworld. The Asura race, as one of the six paths of reincarnation, will not remain weak forever. Even the zombies with very little intelligence will grow stronger over time.

During the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans also kept a low profile. During the previous Great Calamity when the Dao and Demons fought, Hongjun also secretly plotted. Therefore, if we do not establish a structure in the Blood Sea that can completely manage it today, we will bring disaster upon ourselves sooner or later.

Even if the Styx River can suppress everything with its absolute strength, it cannot manage the Blood Sea forever.

As for Styx, the best way to manage the Netherworld Blood Sea is with the Asura race at its core, because Styx knows that in the future, after the Six Paths of Reincarnation are born, all kinds of forces will want a piece of the huge cake that is Reincarnation.

And at any time, the Asura race, which he created and is most loyal to him, will be the most advantageous to him as the core of the Netherworld Blood Sea, or even the future Underworld.

There's no way around it; the zombie race has too many flaws. They have very little intelligence and are essentially bankrupt in every way, but even more bloodthirsty than the witch race. Dealing with Mosquito Taoist is one thing, but to make them the core of the Blood Sea is against all reason.

"Alas, the ways of Heaven are clear, what are all these great calamities but private schemes..." Styx looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

However, there was no other way; the Netherworld Blood Sea was the guarantee of his merits and fortune, and he absolutely could not give it up.

"Go forth and build a city at the edge of the Blood Sea, for all the ghost immortals, Asuras, and corpses to live in. From now on, use this city as the core to manage all the affairs of the Blood Sea and govern the many wronged souls and corpses within it." Styx waved his sleeve and gave the order to the ghost immortals and Asuras dwelling in the Blood Sea.

"Let's call this city... 'Fengdu'." Styx gave this city, which had not yet been built, its name.

"Let's wait until the Asuras grow stronger. For now, let's focus on developing the Blood Sea. Maybe one day, the Blood Sea will become a magnificent sight in the primordial world," Styx thought to himself.

Next, Styx will continue to look for opportunities to accumulate merit.

The many merits accumulated in the past have indeed benefited the Styx River greatly. Moreover, whether in the short or long term, the benefits of accumulating merits far exceed those of hiding in the Netherworld Blood Sea to cultivate diligently.

Many people try to accumulate merit, but they are afraid of getting involved in karma. However, in this vast world, who can escape karma?

In other words, as long as one possesses extraordinary merit, so great that one would kill you or plot against you behind your back, it would be tantamount to self-destruction. Or, as long as one is involved in enough things, so what if one gets tainted by karma?

Why did Hongyun die?

Because he didn't have enough merit. Although he was happy to accumulate good deeds and was a rare good person in the prehistoric world, he didn't have much real merit, because killing him would ultimately involve too few things.

The merit that Styx has set its sights on this time is that of the creator of characters.

In the original primordial world, there were two merits for creating characters. One was created by Kunpeng, which was "demon script". The creation of demon script also earned Kunpeng the reputation of "demon master". This script was based on the demon court and the demon race. Of course, it was eventually scattered due to the great calamity of the witch and demon race.

By the time of the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, even the great demons rarely used demon script anymore, and instead mostly used human script.

Furthermore, there was Cangjie of the human race, who created the human script. Gradually, as the human race became the main force in the world, the human script became the mainstream script in the prehistoric world.

Creating characters sounds difficult, but it's actually not simple at all.

First of all, Kunpeng will surely find out about the theft of this merit afterward.

However, this is a minor matter. He, Styx, has plenty of magical treasures that can kill without incurring karmic consequences. Firstly, Kunpeng is all alone. Before he joins the demon race after its establishment, he will not have any helpers for a long time. Secondly, Kunpeng does not have any magical treasures or merits to rely on.

Styx fears these kinds of people the least.

Most of the wronged souls who were sunk into the Netherworld Blood Sea were such people in their previous lives.

Secondly, and most importantly, writing, as the carrier of civilization and the cornerstone for all living beings to pass on their knowledge, is not difficult to create. What is difficult is how to make the entire prehistoric world, or a large part of the prehistoric world's beings, "share the same written language".

This is the greatest difficulty in creating characters, and also the source of the greatest merit in creating characters.

A language that no living being uses is meaningless.

Kunpeng created the demon script based on the demon court and the demon race. At that time, the demon race encompassed all races in the primordial world. Cangjie created characters based on the human race.

But the Styx did not have such a foundation.

Creating a writing system that merely spreads through bloodshed is meaningless.

If Styx could travel to Dijiang or Taiqing Laozi, relying on his identity as a descendant of Pangu and his merits in creating the world, even without the process of promoting it in the primordial world, as long as they were willing to do it, the Heavenly Dao would recognize them and help promote it, considering their great merits.

However, Styx is different. His identity as a descendant of Pangu was chosen by Hongjun, and his share in Pangu's destiny is extremely small.

"How can we create a script that all the races of the prehistoric world can recognize and use?" Styx pondered to himself.

It's impossible for him to wait until the demon race is established and then become a demon master. Getting entangled with the demon race for a little bit of merit would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Styx realized something.
