Encountering a Monster at Zhenhai Temple (15)
It is said that Ao Tu taught the Good Corpse to create the Northwestern Human Race in the past.
With the support of the Six Sages and the assistance of Houtu, no one, past Future, dares to obstruct this matter in the slightest.
The Good Corpse used the Power of Creation to Combining the Desolate Beast of the Western Heaven, Creation the Western Human Race.
These Western Human Race, being created from Desolate Beast, are naturally strong in flesh and blood, but lack intelligence and are inherently ferocious.
Humans are the essence of Heaven and Earth, and the spirit of all things.
In this context, although the Western Human Race was created, it was merely like the Asura Clan, with human-like physical forms, and could not actually be called a Human Race.
The Good Corpse, recognized by the Twelfth-Grade World-Cleansing White Lotus, possessed innate great compassion and could not bear to see such a thing. He spoke to Ao Tu:
"They are beings I created, and I am like their father. What father would abandon his children? I wish to dissolve the White Lotus, scattering it as Primordial Heaven spiritual light to mend the deficiencies of the Western Human Race. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Tu agreed with the benevolent spirit of the Good Corpse. For the Good Corpse's compassion was his own compassion, and he naturally would not oppose it.
However, compared to the Good Corpse, Ao Tu considered things more thoroughly.
Ao Tu said, "Fellow Daoist, do not be hasty. You and I are not Sage, nor do we possess the great power to Creation all things. The Western Human Race itself has its flaws; even if we scatter all the White Lotus, how much can we make up for? In my opinion, it is better to lend them than to give them away."
The Good Corpse asked, "Borrow it?"
Ao Tu said, "Among all living beings, the mediocre are numerous, and our Supernatural Ability are insufficient to attend to them all. However, among all creatures, there are always those of great virtue and talent. You lend out the spiritual light of the White Lotus, allowing those with Youde and talent to accumulate merit generation after generation. In future generations, I will establish a Good Realm to guide all good people back. This way, I can both reclaim the White Lotus and create boundless good karma. Is this not the way of great benevolence?"
Upon hearing this, the Good Corpse was overjoyed and agreed. He then broke off six of the Twelfth-Grade World-Cleansing White Lotus and scattered them among the Western Human Race.
From then on, the Western Human Race was endowed with Primordial Heaven spiritual light, possessing both a uniquely strong and healthy body and extraordinary Wisdom and virtue.
Of course, such people are only a minority. The majority remain mediocre and foolish. Only a very few can gain White Lotus's approval and possess outstanding talent and virtue.
In future generations, Ao Tu will remain in the Good Realm, receiving this loan from Ancient Times times—an inexhaustible source of income.
That's a story for later, so let's leave it at that for now.
After creating the Western Human Race, Shan Shuo Good Corpse went to the Northern Lands to prepare to create the Northern Human Race.
In the northern lands, the Saint Nuwa once cut off the four legs of Giant Ao to mend the sky.
After the Giant Ao died, it harbored resentment towards the Human Race, and its corpse transformed into malevolent energy. Because its four legs were severed, its armor could not move. Its back armor, exposed to sunlight during the day, transformed into White Baleful Qi; its belly armor, exposed to yin energy at night, transformed into Black Baleful Qi.
Although Ao Tu persuaded the Giant Ao to let go of its grudges, its lingering malevolent energy had penetrated deep into the northern lands and was difficult to eradicate easily.
The Good Corpse then used its great power to divide the flesh and blood of the Desolate Beast into two parts. The Black Baleful Qi merged into one part, Creation a human; the White Baleful Qi merged into another part, Creation a human.
Then the Good Corpse broke the remaining six-petaled World-Cleansing White Lotus in two, turning one half into spiritual light and merging it into the Human Race that the White Baleful Qi had transformed into. Those Human Race knelt down and thanked their father god.
Of the remaining half, the Good Corpse originally intended to merge into the Human Race transformed by the Black Baleful Qi, but he had a great heart of charity. Seeing that the Twelfth-Grade World-Cleansing White Lotus had followed him for a long time, and now only three petals remained, he found it difficult to part with it.
Just then, the World-Destroying Black Lotus appeared in the void and recognized the Good Corpse as its master.
Seeing this, the Good Corpse broke off three parts of the Black Lotus and merged them into the Black Baleful Qi Human Race.
The Black Lotus is also a Primordial Heaven treasure, and its Primordial Heaven spiritual light is no less than that of the White Lotus.
From then on, the Human Race of both places were blessed with good Creation.
Perhaps due to the influence of malevolent energy, the skin color of the two Human Race in the northern lands is somewhat different, one being slightly lighter and the other slightly darker.
When the Good Corpse saw this, fearing that the two clans would fight over it, it took an extra piece of land from the long river and pieced it together on the edge of the North Sea. This was the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli World of Medicine Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light, which Ao Tu had once cut down in his Incarnation as Pangu.
This world is a treasure trove, containing countless pieces of Glazed Jade, gold, and silver.
The Good Corpse thought that the Western Human Race and the Human Race created by the White Baleful Qi were both created by him using the spiritual light Creation the White Lotus, while only the Black Baleful Qi Human Race were Creation using the Black Lotus. Feeling slightly indebted to them, he bestowed this precious land upon the Black Baleful Qi Human Race to settle them.
From then on, Ao Tu used the power of the Good Corpse to Creation the Human Race in the Northwestern Two Lands.
Subsequently, the Wu Clan sent a great shaman to move mountains and unload ridges to improve the barren land. The Dragon Race sent its people to summon clouds and mist to improve the water and soil.
As a result Human Race in the Northwestern Two Lands flourished.
Later, the Two Sages of the Western Heaven, Jieyin and Zhunti, Zhunti a religion in the Western Heaven, and the believers they gained were all Human Race created by Ao Tu.
While Ao Tu Creation the Northwestern Human Race, the Patriarch Styx, wielding the Yuantu and Abi Swords, charged into the Houtu Palace without hesitation, intending to defy the heavens and obstruct their progress.
Even though the outcome was already decided, he did not give up. This is the Minghe.
Upon seeing Empress Houtu, the Goddess Houtu slapped the Patriarch Styx back into the Blood Sea.
The Patriarch Styx was unwilling to give up and made a comeback.
The Supreme Dao Ancestor stretched out a hand from the void and swept him into the Blood Sea.
Undeterred by the Sage, the Patriarch Styx still charged forward.
The Daoist Zhunti Vajra Pestle and gently struck the Patriarch Styx on the head, turning him into blood that flowed back into the Blood Sea.
At the same time, Ao Tu's Creation was accomplished.
The heavens bestowed countless Merit, only slightly less than those bestowed by the Goddess Nüwa when she created humankind.
However, these Merit did not all fall on the Good Corpse, but were divided into several parts.
The Dragon Race and the Wu Clan each received a share for their contributions to changing the world.
The Goddess Nüwa has the merit of creating humans. Since Ao Tu is Human Race she created, and later Attainment of the Dao to recreate the Northwestern Human Race, he also received a share of the merit.
The Empress Houtu, who governs Reincarnation, bestowed upon him grain, which he received in two portions.
The Three Pure Ones Sages and the Two Sages of the Western Heaven all had the power to guide others, and each received a share.
The Good Corpse possesses the merit of Creation and receives a share.
Ao Tu, as the True Body, obtains the number.
Finally, the largest portion of Merit, about 40-50%, was covered in Golden Light, stretching for thousands of miles, passing through the past, present, and Future, and finally landing on the Gratitude Bag in Ao Tu, making the entire bag shine with Golden Light and extremely sacred!
It turns out that the root of everything lies in Ao Tu's Self Corpse in the Future, where he would harm living beings and refine the physical bodies of all the creatures on a continent into Baleful Qi Treasure in order to Attainment of the Dao.
That's why Ao Tu decided to create the Northwestern Human Race in the past to atone for the Self he had created.
And it is precisely because of this that the Human Race of the Northwest have been able to prosper.
Furthermore, because the Human Race in both regions are thriving, my Future Self will have enough materials to forge such a Baleful Qi treasure.
The wonders of Creation are truly beyond words.
Ao Tu then thought of the Third-Grade White Lotus in his hand—wasn't it the one the Good Corpse had left him in the past?
He has come here to attack the Blood Sea Minghe, precisely so that he can later establish the Good and Evil Realms.
Once the Good Realm is established, he can use the Third-Grade White Lotus to collect the Primordial Heaven spiritual light borrowed by the Good Corpse in the past. That Primordial Heaven spiritual light has been nurtured by the Human Race of the Northwestern Two Lands for generations, and will not only not be depleted, but will become even stronger.
Not only can he retrieve the Twelfth-Grade World-Cleansing White Lotus completely, but he can also take this opportunity to bring the Pure Soul that carried the White Lotus into the Good Realm, restrain the Investiture of the Gods, and establish a religion in this way. It can truly be said that he has achieved multiple goals at once.
If Ao Tu hadn't known that he was naturally honest and not good at scheming, he would have thought that this was an unsolvable grand scheme he had set up using his three corpses from the past Future.
Outside, the Patriarch Styx has been resurrected in the Blood Sea. He was formed from the Blood Sea and possesses billions of Blood Gods. As long as the Blood Sea does not dry up, his body will not die. Ao Tu's previous Incarnation, the Blood Sea King, claimed to have 48,000 lives, which was created by imitating his power.
The fact that the Patriarch Styx was killed by the Daoist Zhunti is not a big deal. He was resurrected in an instant and regained the Twelve-Rank Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Yuantu and Abi Swords.
But Ao Tu had already succeeded, Patriarch Styx had no choice but to summon his Asura subordinates to prepare for battle.
In fact, the Styx Ancestor also had several friends, or friends with whom he discussed the Dao in ancient times, who now live in seclusion in various blessed lands.
The Patriarch Styx also sought them out, inviting them to defy the heavens together, confront the Six Sages, and annihilate Ao Tu, the one who would Attainment of the Dao in later generations, born in response to the times.
Unfortunately, as time passed, these people lost their Daoist spirit, dared not resist, and were willing to remain subordinate to others. The Patriarch Styx had no choice but to rely on himself.
