In truth, Luo Hou and Minghe shared some remarkably similar traits.
According to the secret histories of the Primordial World,
Minghe was an acquired being born within the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Yet Minghe's origins within the Netherworld Blood Sea left no trace to investigate, no past to retrace.
Was Patriarch Minghe-the Minghe who would never die so long as the Sea of Blood never ran dry-an external incarnation of the Netherworld Ancestor, one of the innate Chaos Demon Gods? Or was he merely a netherworld being of absolute negativity and unrivaled balefulness, formed from the Netherworld Blood Sea, which itself had condensed from Pan Gu's baleful qi and the baleful qi and blood essence left behind by dead fierce beasts and divine beasts of the Primordial World?
But at that moment,
as the order within that seed of the karma origin law began to loosen in Lin Tian's sea of consciousness,
Lin Tian caught a trace of netherworld aura within that karma.
That trace of netherworld aura shared a faint karmic connection with every creature born in the Primordial World.
In other words,
ever since the Primordial World's creation,
the Netherworld Ancestor had existed between its heaven and earth from the moment the Netherworld Blood Sea was born.
As for why this Netherworld Ancestor had changed his name to Patriarch Minghe after Devil Ancestor Luo Hou's death in later ages, Lin Tian had no way of knowing.
After all, the actual combat prowess of Patriarch Minghe in the Primordial World's legends was as far apart as heaven and earth from that of the Netherworld Ancestor he had previously encountered around Mount Buzhou.
Lin Tian set that thought aside.
He continued absorbing the overwhelmingly vigorous energy and order laws within the karmic energy of the Great Unity Golden Immortal
