In The Primal Chaos, My identity Was Exposed By The Heavens - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: The Era of Saints is Coming, Ye Xiu’s Scheme!

Numerous individuals possessing extraordinary supernatural abilities had withdrawn to the wilderness for their practice, indicating an impending new era. Just before this pivotal moment, Ye Xiu was on the brink of devising a plan for the primordial world, influencing the destiny of all living beings, and challenging the laws of the heavens. This momentous transformation commenced when he summoned Styx from the boundless sea of blood.

After much contemplation, Ye Xiu abruptly declared, “The era of saints is approaching… It will be a grand era where both the virtuous and the evil will prosper, and it will be a magnificent era indeed! The contest with the heavens… will signify the true commencement.”

With a resounding rumble, the mere silence preceding Ye Xiu’s words was replaced by turbulence, as Styx River’s body convulsed violently. His Tao heart and primordial spirit swayed uncontrollably. That proclamation was akin to a colossal meteor plunging into the vast sea, stirring tumultuous waves in the depths of Styx River’s heart.

It was truly astonishing!

“The era of saints is approaching!”

Even Styx, in his quasi-sage state, couldn’t help but exclaim, deeply moved. After all, reaching the state of a saint and attaining unity with the primordial, was an unattainable realm that every ascetic in the wilderness could only aspire to. When one ascended to the Saint of Primordial Unity, they transcended the bounds of eternity. Calamity couldn’t befall them. Years didn’t age them, and with a mere thought, they could manipulate the fate of all living beings, commanding the power of life and death across countless multiverses. In this era devoid of saints, Ye Xiu and Hongjun stood as the supreme masters of the primordial world, revered by multitudes.

Throughout the prehistoric age, countless individuals possessing formidable supernatural abilities had devoted years to their practices, hoping to achieve enlightenment and sainthood. Yet, proving oneself and becoming a saint was no trivial matter. It required exceptional fortune, profound blessings, heavenly favor, and the alignment of chance, aptitude, and merit. Only then could one grasp a glimmer of hope for enlightenment.

While such exceptional individuals did exist, they were scarce. As a result, many residents of the prehistoric wilderness sighed, anticipating the scarcity of saints in the future. Styx, who dwelled in the quasi-sage realm, understood better than most the notion of the saintly realm’s unfathomable distance. He could not deny that the path to sainthood was treacherous.

Indeed, the birth of a saint in the primordial world appeared to be a rare occurrence. At this moment, hearing Ye Xiu’s proclamation that the age of saints was imminent was a revelation that left Styx astounded. The concept of an age of saints was perplexing. Had this declaration come from anyone else, Styx would have dismissed it as fantasy. But because Ye Xiu uttered it, he could not help but believe and be profoundly moved by it.

Styx’s eyes sparkled radiantly amid these contemplations, and he humbly knelt before Ye Xiu. He respectfully implored, “I beseech my master… show me the path to reach the heavens!”

Like countless monks in the primordial era, Styx burned with desire for the enlightenment and sainthood that beckoned. He believed that Ye Xiu possessed the power to help him attain the Tao of Primordial Unity.

Ye Xiu regarded the fervent Styx with a casual smile. He gently flicked his fingers without uttering a word, and a divine radiance etched between Styx’s brows.

At this very moment, a sudden surge of information flooded Styx’s mind. With a swift glance, he was inundated with knowledge, causing a resounding internal commotion. Minghe’s body was jolted once more, his Tao Heart quaked, and his eyes brimmed with exhilaration as if he had stumbled upon a profound revelation.

“Thank you, master, for granting me this auspicious revelation… I now understand my purpose!” Once the excitement waned, Styx promptly expressed gratitude through numerous respectful salutations and countless kowtows.

Only then did Styx comprehend Ye Xiu’s extraordinary abilities and calculated restraint regarding Hongjun. He understood that Ye Xiu was formulating a grand plan. From the information gleaned from his memory, Styx deduced Ye Xiu’s intention—to conspire against the heavens, seize dominion over the vast tunnel, and control the enigmatic realm of humanity.

The universe was divided into three domains: heaven, authenticity, and humanity. The way of heaven governed the underlying principles of the world, shaping its evolution and development. The authentic way pertained to the soul’s evolution and associated principles, while the way of humanity concerned itself with the principles governing the physical aspect of the soul.

Throughout the eons, the way of heaven had wielded authority, using Hongjun as its agent to unleash countless catastrophes and control the tunnel. At this juncture, humanity had yet to emerge, allowing the way of heaven to reign supreme, manipulating the fate of all beings as if the primordial world were a mere chessboard and its inhabitants mere pawns. Life and death were at its whim, and all beings were regarded as insignificant.

A recent example from the primordial chaos was illustrative. According to the Heavenly Dao’s design, the Witch and Demon tribes were meant to suffer setbacks, allowing the Human race to rise as the dominant force in the world. Any deviation from this plan would prompt the Heavenly Dao to guide Hongjun to intervene, restoring balance.

However, Ye Xiu, with his profound insights and foresight, was covertly plotting against both the way of heaven and Hongjun. Neither the Heavenly Dao nor Hongjun were privy to his schemes. Ye Xiu’s understanding of Hongjun’s prideful nature drove him to ally with him quickly, attempting to control all destinies and thwart any unpredictable outcomes.

In Ye Xiu’s perspective, forcibly wresting control of the tunnel from the Heavenly Lord was a monumental task, necessitating a strategic approach that commenced with Hongjun. Until every facet of the plan was meticulously in place, Ye Xiu opted to spare Hongjun’s life. Ultimately, when the time was ripe, he aimed to seize authority from the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, governing the destiny of the primordial world and the vicissitudes of existence.
