Not Listed in the Sea of Blood

A wisp of soul drifted loose in the sea of blood, and the Nether River gave it a name.

Heaven and earth gave no answer.

He had Yuantu and Abi, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and an entire race of Asuras he had created. He had earned merit, yet sainthood never came, because the Six Paths recognize only six kinds of destiny, and the lives in the sea of blood were not on the register.

When others asked how the Nether River could become a saint, he asked only one thing: Why shouldn't the beings in the sea of blood count as living beings?

As long as the sea of blood does not dry up, he cannot die.

But even someone who cannot die can be denied by the entire world.
