1123: Seven Nine Seven, the Immortal Underworld River_2 1123: Seven Nine Seven, the Immortal Underworld River_2 In order to seize control of the Netherworld, Old Ancestor of the Underworld River and the Buddhist door erupted in a great battle.
Then, the first below the Saints, known for creating Asura, founding the Asura religion, and hailed as the immortal Underworld Ancestor of the River—I will not perish if the Underworld River does not—was sealed by two Saints of the Western religion, along with the Underworld River, utterly vanishing from the stage of Prehistoric World’s history.
Without any surprise, without anyone’s aid, Old Ancestor of the Underworld River would remain sealed, until the arrival of the Imasurable Kalpa, perishing along with this world.
Therefore, Old Ancestor of the Underworld River was extrely eager for freedom; he did not want to perish with this world, he wanted to beco a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, he wanted to transcend Heaven and Earth, unscathed by Neverending Calamity.
If not for the aspiration to beco a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, how could Old Ancestor of the Underworld River have beco the top plagiarist of the Prehistoric World?
Witnessing Empress Nuwa create humanity and beco a Saint, he imdiately created the Asura race.
Seeing Sanqing and Zhunti establish religions and beco Saints, he hastily set up the Asura religion as well.
Even his assault on Red Cloud was to snatch the Purple Qi of Hongng from him.
It can be said that Old Ancestor of the Underworld River was utterly deluded by his ambition to beco a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, willing to discard all sha in the endeavor.
It was precisely because Jiang Chen knew this that he was confident in persuading Old Ancestor of the Underworld River to lend him a hand.
Sealed by the joint efforts of two Saints, it would be impossible for Old Ancestor of the Underworld River to escape in his lifeti.
And yet, Jiang Chen could save him, because he possessed an Innate Treasure!
The seals left by Saints could only be broken by the hand of another Saint or by the power of an Innate Treasure.
If Jiang Chen set his rescue as a condition, as long as it didn’t concern his own foundation, Old Ancestor of the Underworld River would certainly not refuse.
Not to ntion lending Jiang Chen a hand, he wouldn’t even frown if asked to give Jiang Chen his twelve-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Compared to regaining a new lease on life, what are so harsh conditions or trivial possessions?
He himself was the foundation, and beyond that, nothing was indispensable.
Old Ancestor of the Underworld River was a true seeker of the Dao; this was evident from his willingness to kill Red Cloud just for his own sanctification.
Anything that could aid his path to the Dao, good or evil, he would do.
Good and Evil, Personal Honor and Disgrace—these were re trifles to him; in pursuit of the Dao, there was nothing else worth caring about.
Of course, this does not an that Old Ancestor of the Underworld River’s behavior was correct.
On the contrary, his actions, contrary to mainstream values, were a pure manifestation of the Demonic Way.
That being said, in the past, when the Netherworld was inaccesible and the Sea of Blood served the role of collecting souls in its stead, too critical to destroy, Old Ancestor of the Underworld River would have been executed by Donghuang Taiyi during the Ancient Era.
In stark contrast to Old Ancestor of the Underworld River, the two brothers Taiyi and Di Jun also coveted the Purple Qi of Hongng from Red Cloud, but they managed to restrain themselves from acting.
At that ti, they had not yet beco a force to be reckoned with, and were not yet the sovereigns of Heaven and Earth.
Still a part of the orthodox path, they could not engage in actions that defied their righteous Dao.
…
It was Old Ancestor of the Underworld River’s character to do whatever it took to reach sanctification, and Jiang Chen was confident in exploiting this quality to make him serve his purposes.
If it were the Jade Emperor or Zhen Yuanzi, great Divine Transcendents, even if Jiang Chen could aid them in reaching sanctification, they would resolutely refuse any condition that conflicted with their own sense of righteousness within their hearts.
The difference between the orthodox path and the Demonic Way is that the forr has a bottom line, while the latter has none, acting without reservations.
The true orthodox adheres strictly to the righteousness in their heart, with clear boundaries dictating what must and must not be done.
Jiang Chen knew he definitely couldn’t obtain the help of Zhen Yuanzi, but at the sa ti, he was clearly aware that he could persuade Old Ancestor of the Underworld River to assist him.
In such a scenario, Jiang Chen naturally would make the choice that benefited him.
He could not forgo the boon of Old Ancestor of the Underworld River just to curry favor with Zhen Yuanzi, could he?
To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Chen did not cooperate with Old Ancestor of the Underworld River, it wasn’t certain that he could secure Zhen Yuanzi’s friendship.
Gambling uncertain chips with what he already held—how could Jiang Chen, a shrewd person, commit such folly?
It’s as if Jiang Chen absolutely had to befriend Zhen Yuanzi…
He simply ant that, if he had to choose between Zhen Yuanzi and Old Ancestor of the Underworld River as a friend, Zhen Yuanzi would be the better pick, not that he had to beco friends with him.
Choosing Old Ancestor of the Underworld River was not because he was the best option, but because without him, Jiang Chen had no other choices.
……
………
Underworld River, Jiang Chen had been here before, but compared to before, he had grown much stronger, and thus he had co to know many things that he hadn’t known before.
For instance, the Underworld River and the Sea of Blood were one and the sa.
When Mother Earth transford into Reincarnation and opened up the Netherworld, the Sea of Blood sank into the Netherworld and fused with its Original Source, giving rise to countless tributaries.
And these tributaries are called the Underworld Rivers.
At the sa ti, the reason why it’s called the Underworld River and not the Nether River or Blood River or sothing of the sort naturally has to do with the Ancestor of the Underworld River.
Yes, that’s right.
In order to occupy the Fate of these tributaries of the Sea of Blood, to prevent them from falling into the hands of others, the Ancestor of the Underworld River directly nad these streams after himself.
As for later, why the na of the Underworld River beca the River of Forgetfulness, Netherworld River and such, it was all the work of the Buddhist door, with the purpose being to erase all traces of the existence of the Ancestor of the Underworld River.
To completely kill a Great Divine Transcendent, the first thing to do is to fade his existence and erase all traces of him Between Heaven and Earth, transforming “his” existence from sothing to nothingness.
Only then can he be completely killed, preventing his resurrection.
On this matter, the Human Race has the most say, that Mystic Sect Heavenly Emperor who was killed by the Human Race really didn’t leave any trace behind.
Even now, when Jiang Chen has already beco the Human King, he still doesn’t know the na of that Mystic Sect Heavenly Emperor or the specifics of his deeds.
“He” truly disappeared.
His mark is absent from the River of Destiny, his traces are missing from the River of Ti and Space, his breath doesn’t exist Between Heaven and Earth.
It’s as if he never existed Between Heaven and Earth.
Even the four characters “Mystic Sect Heavenly Emperor” themselves are fading.
It is estimated that after a little ti, these four characters will also disappear.
Then, the true reason behind the destruction of the Shang Dynasty will completely vanish from sight.
When people ntion the Shang Dynasty, they will not say that it was guilty of the Sin of Heavenly Rebellion, but instead that it offended Empress Nuwa.
“Buddhist door probably doesn’t really want to kill the Ancestor of the Underworld River, or rather, they simply can’t.”
On the way to the sealing place of the Ancestor of the Underworld River, thinking of the Underworld Rivers spread across the entire Netherworld, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but silently think that the Ancestor of the Underworld River was formidable.
What made the Ancestor of the Underworld River formidable wasn’t his strength, but his life-preserving ans, achieving a different kind of undying and unyielding existence.
Even the Saints could not kill him.
To deal with the Ancestor of the Underworld River, both Saints from the West had to take action together.
To say that they didn’t want to kill the Ancestor of the Underworld River is impossible.
But what was the final outco?
Although the Ancestor of the Underworld River was sealed, isn’t he still living well?
Even one of his avatars survived, only to be discovered by a Western Saint recently.
It’s not that the two Saints from the West didn’t want to kill the Ancestor of the Underworld River, but that they couldn’t.
Just the cost of killing him was already beyond imagination, let alone completely killing him.
It is said, as long as the Sea of Blood does not dry, the Underworld River does not die.
To slay the Ancestor of the Underworld River, one must first dry up the Sea of Blood.
And the Underworld Rivers throughout the Netherworld are also part of the Sea of Blood.
To evaporate them all is sothing the Saints can easily do.
But what happens after that?
Due to the drying up of the Underworld Rivers, the ecosystem of the Netherworld suffered a major blow.
The Karma generated by this event alone would be enough to drag the Western religion into a state of Neverending Calamity.
Dare the two Saints from the West risk such consequences to kill the Ancestor of the Underworld River?
Clearly, they cannot!
The Western religion is their lifeline, involving their dealings with Heavenly Dao, and they cannot allow any damage to it.
ps: The following words are not charged:
Speaking of stealing Jiang Chen’s achievents, isn’t this just typical credit-stealing?
You’ve prepared everything and considered everything, just waiting to reap the rewards.
At this mont, suddenly you are removed, and soone else replaces you.
And then, naturally, the credit becos soone else’s.
Reforming the Chaos World indeed warrants great rit, provided it succeeds afterward!
When the protagonist has done everything with great difficulty and is just one step away from success, if you kill the protagonist and replace him with yourself, then won’t you be able to take his place?
After all, as long as I complete the last step, then the rit is mine.
