Immediately, Styx spread out his divine sense and began searching every corner of the Great Wilderness.
Of the current Seven Paths of Samsara, the Animal Path and Hungry Ghost Path were the only ones whose path masters had already taken their positions.
The path masters of the other five paths were still absent. Among them, the All Beings Path was a Thread of Life that Styx and Houtu had deliberately left for all beings of the Great Wilderness.
What it needed was constant change. If a path master were appointed, certain rules would inevitably become fixed, which would not benefit the All Beings Path's development in the long run.
Therefore, neither Styx nor Houtu planned to appoint a path master for the All Beings Path. Instead, they would preserve its independence and variability.
As for the other paths, the master of the Asura Path should originally have been Fengdu, who had created the Asura Clan. He would have been the most suitable choice.
However, Fengdu now held the far more important position of Emperor Fengdu, controlling the entire Underworld.
There was no need for him to occupy another exalted position in the Underworld. If the position were passed down, the only candidates left would be the Four Great Asura Kings of the Asura Race.
