Chapter 67 The Wrath of the Three Pure Ones
People who share a common enemy can easily become friends.
At this moment, as the Three Pure Ones and Emperor Jun formed a verbal alliance to fight against the Witch Clan, the rudiments of a new force gradually took shape.
"Since Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is willing, then we will return now and inform my elder brother and Fellow Daoist Fuxi. We will discuss it again then." Taiyi looked at the Three Pure Ones before him, bowed and said.
"No problem."
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi and Junior Sister Nuwa, please go." Laozi looked at Taiyi and Nuwa and said with a gentle smile.
After Nuwa and Taiyi left, Yuanshi was greatly encouraged.
"Brother, if we can join forces with Di Jun, resisting the Wu Clan and eliminating the Styx River will be a piece of cake. This is great news!" Yuan Shi looked at Lao Zi and said with a smile.
Finally, there was good news, which gave Yuanshi a sense of clarity and enlightenment, like the sun breaking through the clouds.
"Brother? Is something wrong?" Unlike Yuanshi, who was engrossed in the fact that his plan was about to succeed and the possibility of eliminating the Wu Clan and the Styx had greatly increased, Tongtian noticed the change in Laozi's expression. At this moment, he looked at Laozi, who had a solemn expression, and asked him with some doubt.
Based on Tongtian's accumulated experience over countless years, Laozi's expression suggests that something big is about to happen.
"My two brothers, think about this carefully. If Di Jun truly supports us, why didn't he come in person this time, but instead sent Taiyi and Sister Nuwa instead?"
"Where are Di Jun and Fu Xi now?" Laozi asked, looking at Yuanshi and Tongtian.
"It seems that our junior sister Nuwa is closer to us. Emperor Jun is always cautious in his actions, considering failure before success. Should he let Taiyi and Nuwa test our intentions first?" Yuanshi looked at Laozi and said after thinking for a while.
"Be cautious? Second brother—" Laozi sighed deeply.
Yuan Shi was a master strategist, whose planning skills were unmatched. However, he had a fatal weakness: he was adept at devising unsolvable plans under the circumstances, but his plans rarely influenced the overall situation. Moreover, Yuan Shi sometimes resorted to unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.
Just as Yuanshi had previously intended to use the Wu tribe's sword to kill the Styx River, thereby killing two birds with one stone and weakening the Wu tribe, he never expected that if this plan were to succeed, it would likely be a calamity for the primordial world.
Just like in the original primordial world, Yuanshi Tianzun, in order to protect the Chan Sect, dealt a severe blow to the Jie Sect, completely severing the Jie Sect's destiny and also completely severing the friendship between the Three Pure Ones.
"At this moment, the power of the Wu Clan is already enough to unify the prehistoric world. Emperor Jun possesses the destiny of a supreme being. At this moment, he is even more anxious about the rise of the Wu Clan than we are. At this time, how can we allow him to test us?"
Moreover, as the Three Pure Ones, how can we demonstrate our sincerity if they do not come in person?
Moreover, although Sister Nuwa is our junior sister and a future sage, she has always stood together with Fellow Daoist Fuxi. Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Fuxi come?" Laozi looked at Yuanshi and asked repeatedly.
"Brother, don't worry, I will calculate it now." Upon hearing this, Yuanshi also realized something was wrong and began to calculate, but just as he was about to cast a spell, he was interrupted by Laozi.
"I have already deduced that Di Jun and Fu Xi went to the Netherworld Blood Sea, and not only that, but there are also a group of powerful beings who follow them." Laozi looked at Yuanshi, his tone extremely calm and devoid of any emotion.
"This is outrageous! We are also the true descendants of Pangu, how can we allow him to insult and belittle us like this!" Tongtian was furious upon hearing this, and Yuanshi, who was standing to the side, also looked grim.
The reason is simple. As the embodiment of Pangu's primordial spirit, the Three Pure Ones also have their own pride. When they came to invite them, Emperor Jun personally appeared in front of the Styx River, accompanied by Fuxi and a group of great supernatural beings. Although Nuwa and Taiyi's lineup also showed their importance to the Three Pure Ones, in their eyes, it was far from enough.
Neither Taiyi nor Nuwa could finalize the cooperation between the two sides, so the final decision had to be made by Dijun.
Moreover, compared to the Three Pure Ones, the lineup that went to see Styx was so luxurious. Does this mean that in Dijun's eyes, the Three Pure Ones are inferior to Styx?
If even Di Jun thinks this way, what will other powerful beings and all living beings in the prehistoric world think?
After Lao Tzu's reminder, the wise Yuan Shi quickly understood the key point.
"Elder brother, alas—"
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been tricked and schemed against by the Styx River and offended the Dao Ancestor, none of this would have happened, and Di Jun wouldn't have dared to look down on us like that." After pondering for a moment, Yuanshi finally sighed.
The impact of the battle between the Styx River and the Three Pure Ones in the second lecture at Zixiao Palace was greater than Yuanshi had imagined. In particular, the Styx River caused the Three Pure Ones to suffer a great loss, but the Three Pure Ones were unable to make any effective response to the Styx River, which further damaged the prestige of the Three Pure Ones.
When a god reveals to the world that he too can be hurt, frustrated, and fail, even if he remains incredibly powerful, he can never regain his former dominance.
"Second brother, don't act like that."
"The fault is not yours; it is Styx who plotted against us. Even if you hadn't fallen for his trap this time, he wouldn't have stopped. With his methods, my third brother and I will be taken advantage of by him sooner or later." Laozi looked at Yuanshi and comforted him with a few words.
Although he also felt that Yuanshi was too impulsive, and had contradicted Daozu without understanding Daozu's intentions, Yuanshi was ultimately standing up for the common interests of the Three Pure Ones, and it concerned the fate of Pangu, so he could not ignore it. If he blamed Yuanshi at this time, it would really damage the friendship between the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, Laozi took a lenient approach and only pointed out the current situation.
"Then, elder brother, what should we do?"
"If the Styx River cooperates with Di Jun, we..." Tongtian looked at Laozi and asked anxiously.
On the Wu Clan's side, Styx is the Wu Clan's "Wizard". If he is cooperating with Dijun, then the Three Pure Ones will be isolated. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Styx's methods are something they dare not underestimate. The lost Pangu fortune is proof of that!
"Impossible!" Yuan Shi was certain of this: "The Wu Clan is a pawn that the Styx has put out to take revenge on us. Now that Di Jun and the Wu Clan are at odds, how could the Styx possibly help Di Jun deal with his own pawn?"
"Elder brother, I am certain that the Styx River will reject Di Jun. At that time, we will be Di Jun's only choice."
Apart from the Three Pure Ones, there was no other being in the prehistoric world who could help Emperor Jun fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and no one was in a better position to help Emperor Jun than the Three Pure Ones.
At that time, Yuanshi promised that he would make Dijun regret his current choice to prioritize the Styx River over the Three Pure Ones.
While he was pondering, Yuanshi had already made preparations and plans.
The most urgent task is to eliminate Styx, or rather, to deprive Styx of its primordial purple energy and its qualification to become a saint. As long as Styx is not a saint, once the Three Pure Ones become saints, they can manipulate Styx at will!
Otherwise, if we wait for Styx to attain sainthood, the consequences will likely be even more severe, and it will be even more difficult to control Styx. This contest will continue for countless eons, and it will be difficult to stop.
