Chapter 1170

As long as the Blood Sea does not dry, Minghe shall not die.

Among the great powers of the Three Realms, none believed the Ancestor Minghe had truly perished.

The moment the Ancestor Minghe appeared, he roared fiercely:

"Above the Human Dao, I, Minghe, Lord of the Asura Clan, offer to lead the Asura Clan in recognizing Luo Fu as our common lord. Let the Human Dao bear witness!"

Just like Zu Long, Daoist Yuan Feng, and the Beginning Qilin, the moment the Ancestor Minghe appeared, he led the Asura Clan in submitting to Luo Fu.

Infinite destiny began converging upon the Ancestor Minghe, and his aura continuously rose.

As the creator of the Asura Clan, the Ancestor Minghe held nearly nine-tenths of the Asura Clan's destiny.

Thus, he could directly represent the Asura Clan.

Yet compared to the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix, and the Qilin Clan, the Asura Clan was still far inferior, with no other races under their dominion.

This caused the Ancestor Minghe's destiny to rise only to the peak of a Pre-Sage, then halt.

Destiny at the peak of a Pre-Sage was insufficient to condense a Destiny Crown.

Though the Ancestor Minghe had gathered immense destiny, it merely coalesced into a cluster, floating behind him.

The rank of Human Dao destiny is not easily attained.

Zu Long, Daoist Yuan Feng, and the Beginning Qilin could condense the rank of Human Dao Sub-Sage because the Three Primordial Clans had once been the protagonists of Wan Ling, still bearing a trace of Human Dao's favor.

Moreover, the Three Primordial Clans still commanded countless races; their destinies combined to form the Human Dao Sub-Sage rank.

The Asura Clan had neither deep roots nor had it ever left the Yinming Blood Sea to conquer other Pre-Sages—how could it possibly condense the Human Dao Sub-Sage rank?

A Sage rank is not easily obtained.

Whether from Heaven Dao, Earth Dao, or Human Dao, the number of Sage ranks granted is extremely limited.

Human Dao is now suppressed by Heaven Dao, struggling to coalesce; the number of Human Dao destiny Sage ranks it can bestow is even more restricted.

Aside from the Human Race, no other race can obtain a Human Dao destiny Sage rank unless they unite.

Vast destiny, at the Ancestor Minghe's will, flowed toward Luo Fu.

Under the turmoil of immense Human Dao destiny, the entire Three Realms erupted into storm and wind.

Zu Long, Daoist Yuan Feng, the Beginning Qilin, and the Ancestor Minghe had all appeared; next came the Wu Clan.

Deep within the Gai Jiuyou Underworld, Pingxin Niangniang—who had rarely shown herself in countless yuanhui—suddenly appeared before Zu Long, Daoist Yuan Feng, and the Beginning Qilin.

A clear voice rang out across the entire Three Realms.

"Above the Human Dao, I, Pingxin, bring the Wu Clan and countless Ghost Clans to recognize Luo Fu as our common lord—the lord of the Wu Clan and the lord of the countless Ghost Clans. All who heed my command in the Gai Jiuyou Underworld shall henceforth recognize Luo Fu as the master of the Ghost Clans. Let the Human Dao bear witness!"

Pingxin Niangniang's voice struck like thunder into the ears of all beings in the Three Realms.

Since the Twelve Ancestral Wu had perished one by one, Pingxin Niangniang had become the master of the Wu Clan.

Though Pingxin Niangniang was no longer of the Wu Clan, in the eyes of all Wu, she remained forever their master.

Thus, Pingxin Niangniang alone could represent the entire Wu Clan.

Even if they had never heard Luo Fu's name, all Wu would obey if Pingxin Niangniang commanded it.

The Wu Clan had always been deeply united.

Moreover, Luo Fu's name had long resounded throughout the Wu Clan; to every Wu, when Luo Fu resurrected the Twelve Ancestral Wu, he became their undisputed benefactor.

The Wu Clan always repays kindness. To temporarily submit to Luo Fu and offer destiny is nothing; even complete submission, obeying Luo Fu's every command, would meet no hesitation from the entire Wu Clan.

For the Wu Clan, the Twelve Ancestral Wu were of paramount importance.

Their weight was no less than that of the entire Wu Clan.

Beyond the Wu Clan, as the master of Earth Dao and nominal ruler of the Gai Jiuyou Underworld, Pingxin Niangniang also held a portion of the Ghost Clan's destiny.

Among the countless Ghost Clans of the Gai Jiuyou Underworld, many powerful ghosts revered Pingxin Niangniang, knowing she was the true master of the Gai Jiuyou Underworld.

As for weaker ghosts, the moment she appeared, she activated her Earth Dao authority, imprinting her image into the souls of every ghost.

Any ghost with sentience would know: Pingxin Niangniang was the true master of the Gai Jiuyou Underworld, the true sovereign of the countless Ghost Clans.

Even though the Gai Jiuyou Underworld had been divided among many forces of the Three Realms, and most ghosts had previously denied Pingxin Niangniang as the true ruler,

the awe rooted in their souls still compelled them to submit to Pingxin Niangniang.

The Gai Jiuyou Underworld was Pingxin Niangniang's true domain; had she not been isolated, forced to diminish her and the Wu Clan's presence to preserve them, and compelled to suppress the Six Paths of Rebirth,

she could have easily ruled the entire Gai Jiuyou Underworld by merely revealing her authority.

Even a Sage would find it difficult to challenge Pingxin Niangniang's rule over the Gai Jiuyou Underworld without offering a price.

Thus, even though Pingxin Niangniang had rarely appeared in the Gai Jiuyou Underworld these years, it remained nominally under her rule.

With this great righteousness and her authority as master of Earth Dao, many ghosts willingly obeyed her command.

The Ghost Clan had always been easily overlooked by the celestial deities and immortals.

In truth, the Ghost Clan held no small share of Human Dao destiny.

Even a great clan like the Wu Clan could not surpass the Ghost Clan in Human Dao destiny.

Because all races of the Three Realms, except the Wu Clan, became ghosts upon death and entered the Gai Jiuyou Underworld for reincarnation.

These ghosts could be regarded as part of the Ghost Clan.

In a sense, the Ghost Clan's potential ranked second only to the Human Race.

It was merely that Earth Dao had been suppressed by Heaven Dao, its power unable to manifest.

Otherwise, the Ghost Clan would have become the second strongest race after the Human Race, for they stood behind Earth Dao.

Sensing the Earth Dao pressure emanating from Pingxin Niangniang, countless ghosts bowed to her, and vast destiny began converging upon her.
