Chapter 200 Forget it, that's enough, I'm tired!
The two sides met on a plain outside the gates of hell where there were few dead souls.
Styx's eyes were bloodshot, and a sea of blood-like phantoms churned around him, as if he were ready to fight to the death.
"You from the underworld! You must give me an explanation today!"
The Asura race, which I painstakingly created...
Why should the Great Road be given to you so easily?!
That's all my hard work!
"And even if the Great Road were allocated to you..."
You can't just accept this so easily!
"The humans created by your witch clan, I, the Styx, haven't even touched!"
Tianqi looked at the Styx River in this state.
He wasn't listening to anything he was saying; he was too busy trying to suppress his laughter!
Apocalypse tried to calm himself down.
Then, with a sympathetic look on his face that said, "I understand you," he said:
"The River Styx! This has nothing to do with my underworld!"
This is determined by the Great Dao itself, and it is beyond the control of my Underworld.
The greatest truth is impartial; it must have its own profound meaning.
"Profound meaning?"
The real meaning is that if you steal my things, you'll be sent straight to the underworld?!
Is there any justice in this world?!
After venting all the resentment in his heart, Styx...
After seeing the ancestral witches clearly, they became much more obedient.
But since we're already here, let's not...
After saying what's on my mind, my thoughts are still not clear.
So I still mustered up the courage to refute it.
Tianqi stepped forward and sighed.
His acting was on point; he maintained a face full of "helplessness" and "sympathy" as he spoke:
"Styx! We understand your feelings very well."
Honestly, anyone would feel frustrated in this situation.
Look, you provide the materials, the design, and the effort.
It's not easy to create such a good race.
As a result, they all went directly to my underworld... Who wouldn't be angry in that situation?
Styx was also taken aback after hearing Apocalypse's words of comfort.
He felt that something about these words of comfort was off.
But it seems to make some sense.
Having calmed down considerably, he said, "Then... what do you suggest we do?"
"I can't let all this work go to waste!"
Apocalypse and his brother exchanged a glance.
Then Tianqi rubbed his hands together, revealing a "sincere" smile, and said:
Styx, I know you are suffering in your heart!
But you see, things have already come to this; the Asura race has been reassigned to the Asura realm.
This is ordained by the Great Dao, and even my Underworld cannot change it.
but,
"We in the underworld aren't unreasonable either."
He paused, then said with even greater sincerity:
"Alright then, since you Asuras have come to the Underworld..."
For your sake, we will definitely make proper arrangements.
Give them official positions, give them merits, and we will never treat them unfairly.
After all, they have your blood flowing in their veins.
He's your child too, isn't he?
We are their second home, and we will definitely take good care of them.
Upon hearing this, Styx's expression softened considerably.
But still somewhat unwilling, he said:
"That's it?"
That took me countless days and nights to create!
Pingxin, who was watching from inside the Pingxin Hall, directly projected himself in front of everyone using his supernatural powers and spoke to the Styx River.
The projected voice was gentle yet carried the majesty of a saint:
"The Styx River created the Asura race, completing the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms, and thus made a great contribution to the world."
Although the process was... somewhat tortuous.
But their achievements cannot be denied.
She looked at the River Styx.
He then presented the "appeasement plan" he had already prepared in his mind and continued:
"I understand why you created this Asura."
It seems to be imitating Nuwa's creation of humans and her subsequent sainthood!
But that's obviously impossible! Just give up on that idea!
Now, in the name of the Sage of the Earthly Way,
We can specially create a holy position for you in the "Blood Sea Asura Path".
You are in charge of the Styx.
This holy position is responsible for overseeing and guiding the operation of the Asura realm.
To coordinate the relationship between the Blood Sea and the Underworld.
By virtue of this sacred position, you can enjoy the earthly energy and receive the earthly merits.
The development of the Asura race in the underworld
Fellow Daoists also have the right to offer suggestions and provide oversight.
Simply put:
I'll give you a "Saint" list from the "Asura Realm" if I'm the local boss.
It's prestigious, it's beneficial, and it can even give me some influence over the Asura race.
Although the actual management power is in the hands of the underworld.
But it's a good opportunity!
Others don't get this treatment!
Styx was completely stunned when he heard the treatment Pingxin offered.
He... became a saint?
Although it's a position that sounds like it has little say,
But Gao Di is a saint!
He is still a true sage, not under the jurisdiction of Hongjun!
If this were true,
Wouldn't that mean he, Styx, would go from being a complete failure who worked for nothing and lost everything?
Suddenly he became a legitimate saint with official status, good fortune, and a title?
Who among the primordial creatures would dare to mock him?!
I'm so envious!
"Isn't this plot twist... a bit too drastic?"
Even Styx was a little unsure, wondering if he had misheard!
Or is it that the person in front of you isn't from the underworld at all?
Who was impersonating them?!
Otherwise, there's no reason why the Wu Clan would be so kind!
Back when the Ancestral Witches hadn't yet achieved the Great Luo Primordial Chaos level, they came to the Blood Sea to retrieve their treasures.
They've never been this polite before!
He looked at the projection of Pingxin and Tianqi's "sincere" faces with suspicion.
Then I thought of my own empty sea of blood creation site,
And then think about those Asura brats already lining up at the gates of hell...
Agree? It seems... I wouldn't lose out?
Did they even make a profit?
Although it's not quite the same as my original plan to sideline the higher-ups of the underworld and indirectly take over the underworld!
But achieving sainthood has always been his pursuit.
The more he cultivated, the more he realized that the method of severing the three corpses seemed to be somewhat ineffective.
He didn't want to be bound by the laws of Heaven and become like the two brothers, Zhunti and his brother.
A puppet of the Heavenly Dao that Hongjun can summon at will and dismiss at will.
This true sage seems to be just right!
He felt that the underground path was more authentic than the heavenly path!
Perhaps this is a good choice!
You won't agree?
It seems there's no other choice... The Great Dao has already excluded the Asura race.
Can he possibly take it back?
I'm so conflicted, so incredibly conflicted.
Tianqi saw that Styx was still hesitating.
Then, with a squinting smile, he said:
"Minghe, what do you think of this explanation?!"
If you still think it's unfair,
Then I suggest you go to the Heavenly Saints and demand justice from Heaven!
Upon hearing this, Styx scratched his head somewhat embarrassed.
I admit I didn't think before I spoke.
It's really inappropriate to seek justice from the underworld!
Seeing that he had realized his mistake, Tianqi did not hold it against him.
They added fuel to the fire at just the right moment.
He immediately pulled out a gleaming golden contract of servitude, temporarily formed from the merits accumulated through the underground channels... ah, no,
It's an 'employment contract'!
"Fellow Daoist Styx,"
This is the employment contract for the "Blood Sea Asura Saint." Sign it.
You're one of us in the underworld now!
Saintly blessings, authentic merits, and the blessing of good fortune—everything is complete!
Is there even any need to consider this?
There aren't many spots left for me to become a true saint.
You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss this opportunity!
Styx looked at the alluring golden light.
Then look at Pingxin, then look at Tianqi.
One last glance in the direction of the sea of blood.
He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and accepted the employment contract.
"This contract... I... I'll sign it!"
Feeling stifled? A little, yes.
But it seems... it's not a loss?
That's enough, I'm tired!
It's been so long and complicated since its inception...
Having a stable government job is better than anything else!
Even if it means obeying the orders of the underworld.
At least their strength has improved!
Watching Styx leave his primordial spirit imprint on the letter of appointment in a somewhat dazed state,
Tianqi turned his back.
His shoulders started shaking again.
But he quickly swallowed it back, turned around...
He said with a serious expression:
"Welcome Styx to our Authentic family!"
