Chapter 1032 Demon Buddha

Chapter 1032 Demon Buddha

Darkness enveloped everything, with occasional bursts of lightning illuminating the eerie and unsettling scene.

A towering golden cudgel stands proudly, while golden Buddha statues, each shedding two lines of bloody tears, transform into a forest of corpses, with layers of grayish-white mist and pitch-black fog obscuring the scene.

The instant the lightning flashed out, a vermilion gourd emerged from the void, causing tremors throughout the river of time.

Immediately following, a deep human voice could be heard:

"Su Meng entered the Thirty-Three Heavens Outer Heaven Tushita Palace in the Investiture of the Gods world, and possessed the aura of the Moral Celestial Venerable. With the secret method you gave me, the impression of the Primordial Celestial Venerable that I had seen before also overlapped with that of Su Meng."

In the void of darkness, suddenly everything fell silent, even the boundless thunder fell still, until a crimson lightning bolt streaked across the sky.

“Yuanshi, Daode, Lingbao. In this light, I must have already died once.”

"I lost?"

Confused and bewildered, that cry of "I lost" wasn't directed at anyone, but rather encompassed a great deal of incomprehension and resentment. Not long after, bursts of wild laughter echoed through Lingshan.

The eerie crimson lightning dyed the sea of ​​thunder, and the light shone on the golden body of the corpse forest, like a tide of blood, with only the golden cudgel standing tall and unmoving.

"So that's how it is. I lost."

The end of an era has always been linked to the destruction of the Nine Heavens and the fall of the Heavenly Emperor. Every Heavenly Emperor of every era has this destiny, even those who become ancient are no exception.

In order to break free from constraints and deceive everyone, He made many preparations, borrowing the reincarnation method of Huang Laojun obtained from Donghuang Taiyi, transforming from the Primordial Thunder Pool into the Thunder God, and even harming his own soul to avoid being seen by others.

Hoping to achieve self-fulfillment, the first fish that diverged, 'Overlord', went out of control and perished.

The second fish, Su Meng, unexpectedly turned against his original self from his 'other self' identity, causing all his ancient plans and sacrifices to vanish like a dream, and everything to come to naught.

How ridiculous!

He betrayed the Heavenly Emperor, abandoned Mount Ling, abandoned all good intentions, and squandered his feelings. All of it was lost, and in the end, it all came to nothing?

After a long silence, the laughter turned into a suppressed self-mockery, a realization of the situation:

“Su Meng attained enlightenment in the future. He possessed both an indestructible primordial body and the aura of morality that allowed him to enter and exit the Tushita Palace. It must have been a scheme orchestrated by the Three Pure Ones that ultimately led him to attain the Dao.”

"If he attains enlightenment in the future, then the future should also be the current point in time. Am I in history?" The vermilion gourd tried its best to suppress its astonishment.

At their level, there's no need for much explanation; they already have a clear understanding of the other shore and the river of time, and can confirm their current state based on the slightest clues.

But doesn't this represent the demon Buddha before us?

"No! I am not a mark, otherwise the one speaking to you now would be Su Meng, and I would have already been devoured by him and become his incarnation." He retorted.

"Then why now?"

Aside from the game's past, Lu Ya couldn't think of any other explanation. The only thing he didn't understand was why he hadn't noticed anything unusual. Even if it was a time travel from the other side, at his level, he should at least be able to know that the river of time has its ups and downs.

“Su Meng wants to achieve emptiness through subtraction; he wants to transcend.” The Demon Buddha seemed to have grasped something. He was silent for a moment, then continued:

“I don’t know how he attained the other shore, but one thing is certain: he is not merely a product of Yuanshi’s subtraction and emptiness, but rather the result of the Three Pure Ones’ joint efforts. He alone bears the karma of the Three Pure Ones, and may even never be able to transcend it.”

“But now, the timeline of this era seems to have been reset, which proves that the process of subtraction to seek emptiness has begun. The evidence is that I, who was devoured and assimilated by him, have also come back to life.”

"What path did he find in the countless eras that followed?"

The demonic Buddha seemed to be talking to itself, but Lu Ya's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and he was unable to answer.

He had considered many possibilities, but he could never have predicted that he would be so deeply involved in the ancient practice of subtraction to find emptiness, and he could never have imagined that Su Meng would actually jump out of the chessboard set up by the other side, take the pieces, and become the player.

However, upon closer examination, the only explanation that can make sense is this one regarding the strange changes that have occurred in Su Meng.

In the past, I was able to survive the destruction of the era and live to this day thanks to the protection of the Primordial Celestial Venerable under the guise of suppression. Secretly helping Su Meng escape the control of the 'Demon Buddha' was something I should have prepared to do.

But now Su Meng has jumped out on his own, and in just a few years he has gained the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal, controlled the causes of all fruits, and is extremely terrifying in terms of cause and effect. He also has the characteristics of the Other Shore.

Meanwhile, in the Doushuai Palace of the Investiture of the Gods world, within the fragments of the universe, the existence of the Moral Celestial Venerable has already shown signs of abnormality.

this.

The more Lu Ya thought about it, the more uncertain he felt. He also anticipated that he would definitely choose the wrong side at the last moment and betray Yu Xu and Yuan Shi's side!

After all, he didn't know that the Demon Buddha was actually the former Haotian, and he never expected that the Demon Buddha would take the initiative to reveal his identity to him.

"Is it too late to choose sides again?" Lu Ya's heart was filled with complex emotions, but he remained calm and continued to ask the question:

"Why didn't he secretly perform the subtraction to empty the space, so that we wouldn't notice, instead of openly displaying his supernatural abilities?"

For a moment, the Demon Buddha remained silent, seemingly troubled by the same problem.

"Perhaps it's not about subtracting to find the short position?"

The Demon Buddha transmitted his voice, saying, "The main god space captured by the Six Paths of Reincarnation space comes from outside the Realm of Truth and does not belong to another layer of myriad worlds derived from the myriad worlds."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya suddenly remembered the special creature he had just investigated.

The Real World gives rise to countless worlds, and the multiverse is as vast as the ocean. These worlds are affected by the Real World, and countless worlds are born and die every second. Furthermore, fragments of cosmic light manifested by powerful beings float in the air, and after the fall of some powerful beings from the other shore, the countless worlds contained within their bodies will also be integrated into them.

They could trace the origins of those beings, yet transcended time and space, finding a previously unseen passage through the void.

Hey, my avatar is not suppressed or restricted in that realm, but the laws are extremely chaotic. Recently, I sent some reincarnators to investigate and found that the myriad realms in that realm are still experiencing extremely active Nine Netherworld erosion. Whether it's taking advantage of the chaos or reaping the benefits, it's an excellent choice.

"He found another path to transcendence?!"

"It's uncertain, but there should be some connection."

The Demon Buddha sneered, "This is also my opportunity."

There is no way to transcend without taking any risks. No matter how Meng Qi planned things, I have now been given a second chance, and I am the calamity that he was born to face.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lu Ya sighed. Assuming all the reasoning was true, he wasn't very optimistic about the Demon Buddha, who had "already failed once."

"That's natural, but it's not that I was aware of this. At least as fellow losers of 'Other Self,' I was able to understand the current situation before the other side." The Demon Buddha's voice echoed.

"What do you mean?"

"The fact that the Three Pure Ones achieved the Dao means that I am not the only one who failed, nor the only one who perished, nor the only one who returned."

The words fell.

The vermilion gourd swayed slightly, and outside the sacred mountain where ten thousand Buddhas fell, a tall figure in a gray robe appeared.

Sha Wujing, whose breath was extremely weak and whose cultivation had been damaged, stopped in his tracks. He stared blankly at the golden cudgel, and two turbid tears gradually welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Then, he looked at the white dragon's corpse outside the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation and remained silent for a long time.

"Even the Eternal Mother failed?" Lu Ya was moved.

He thought of Gu Xiaosang and inexplicably felt as if his primordial spirit had been frozen by ice. Even on the high and mighty other shore, with countless schemes, a slight misstep could lead to total defeat.

The Great Dao contends, the Great Dao is ruthless, the Great Dao is without regret.

"Golden Emperor and Demon Buddha should be the first to realize that it has nothing to do with you entering the Fragment of the Gods. Before Golden Emperor achieved the other shore, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable was closely related to her. After Lingbao Heavenly Venerable disappeared, all the traces that remained were impersonations by her."

Gu Xiaosang's expression and tone were resolute, with a faint smile on her lips:

"At least we can be certain that those who have attained the Dao have not been involved in the current real world. Although the time point is in our present, the transcendence of Master Yuanshi and the two senior uncles can be regarded as a fact that has happened in the past."

"The Golden Emperor only needs to rewind his own time to discover that there is a problem with the traces of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. He is probably currently calculating where he went wrong and how to make amends."

"Hehe, that's really interesting."

Gu Xiaosang was in a good mood, and as she spoke, her ethereal and serene figure became more lively, which, at least in Meng Qi's eyes, did not seem like acting.

After all, everything that happens in this world at this very moment is not part of the Golden Emperor's script, and the active and passive positions are completely reversed.

But these other shores are far too troublesome; a glimpse reveals the whole leopard, a single pebble shows the vast ocean.

If it weren't for the fact that the return of the other shore from the real world hadn't yet arrived, and that intervention could only be done covertly, my works like "Rebirth: I Am the Yuan Emperor" and "The Heavenly Venerable Returns to the Real World" would have directly become mainstream angst novels.

A bunch of old fogies who have lived for countless eons, bullying a young man like me without any sense of martial ethics.

"My lord, please relax. We are not the ones who should be worried. You now have the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. You cannot judge us by our current level of understanding." Gu Xiaosang smiled sweetly.

“My strength has increased and I have broken free from control. These things could not be hidden from Ananda. I also foresaw that this day would come, but I did not understand the meaning of ‘Yuanhuang’.”

The Yuanhuang does not refer to the present self, but to the future Su Meng Tianzun.

When he entered the Tushita Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens and found that his Uncle Morality had already transcended, he felt like cursing. Wouldn't it be better to have some mindless fun and show off his sainthood in front of others?

Bringing Ananda and the Golden Emperor back to put pressure on themselves is just asking for trouble.

However, as a lazy bum who has no motivation without pressure, Meng Qi is also aware of his own nature, and he can only imagine such a good thing.

"I suspect that when we both attain legendary status, we might be able to see some things more clearly," Gu Xiaosang said with a soft laugh.

"A legend?"

He might be a little overconfident, and not quite Hercules, but Meng Qi felt that even if he encountered a legendary expert right now, he could still take up his sword and fight them to the death.

However, he was still a bit uncertain about how to prove himself and elevate his realm and life level.

Perhaps it's a matter of mindset, or perhaps it's a difference in circumstances, but even when holding a script and imitating oneself, one doesn't gain any deeper insights.

During his travels in Gensokyo, he had already severed his cultivation and actively honed his skills, experiencing the "self" he saw under different bodies, different senses, and different experiences.

Although some gains have been made, the innate nature of humanity remains unseen, and the origin of all things remains unwitting.

It's always stuck at a crucial point, missing something.

Even the progress of cultivating the "Heaven-Defying Skill" was affected in the same way. Unfortunately, this skill, which combines the strengths of many schools, has different effects on each person's body, making it impossible to find anyone to learn from or consult.

It's alright, but it would be troublesome if she suddenly turned into a child before the wedding.

Meng Qi passed on the "Heaven-Defying Skill" to Gu Xiaosang and instructed her not to practice it for the time being, with the examples of Su Lin and Shi Hao's shrinking forms as examples.

"I thought my husband wanted to make up for his regret and wanted to hear me call you 'Father'."

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, her cheeks flushed, and she asked shyly, "Or perhaps my husband would like to switch roles and call me 'Mother'?"

Meng Qi's mouth was open, his eyes were glazed, and it felt as if blood was stuck in his throat, making it hard to breathe.

That's incredible! Something just ran over it?

Besides.

If you don't even make tiles yourself, why would you call everyone "Mom"?

"My strength could uproot mountains, my spirit could cover the world, but the times are against me, and my steed will not go."

With long hair combed back and a longsword held high, a tall figure stood with his back to the crowd in the bleak autumn wind, raising the greatsword and admiring himself: "My name is Divine King Sword."

"Does Garen have this skin?" Huai Shi asked, packing her bags.

The Antarctic Beast of the Giant Goose Group shook its head.

"The last Golden Throne series skin, Terra Emperor Garen, was only recently released. No player has yet collected 10,000 fragments to redeem the complete skin, so there are no plans to release a new skin for the time being."

The head of Giant Goose Group raised his camera and took a few pictures of Ge Xiaolun.

"Let's treat this Dongxia-style skin as a limited edition for the Lunar New Year. Mr. Huai Shi, would you like to pre-order it?"

"I play Silent Crown."

"So, are you planning to release a collaboration skin and hero? We'll split the profits 50/50."

"It's nice to try out a new game once in a while."

Seeing that Huai Shi agreed, the Emperor Penguin immediately brought out a blue palace-style long dress.

Swah——

The sword of virtue shone with a brilliant light.

“A hellish creature that smuggled itself into the present world was purified by prosecutor Huai Shi with positive energy.”

—This is how it is recorded in the log report.

"Where are the people from Giant Goose Group? I was also saying I'd change into a gentlemanly outfit." Ge Xiaolun finished admiring the clothes and took them off.

Huai Shi said speechlessly, "Don't you have a traditional Chinese style skin?"

"In my dorm, there's a Zhang Liao, a Lu Bu, and a Zhao Yun. They're in the martial arts world, we can't exactly play Three Kingdoms Kill there, can we?"

Ge Xiaolun shrugged: "I signed an endorsement contract with Giant Goose Group, so I can't help but come and get some new martial arts-themed skins for free."

With your size, you could shave your head and become a martial arts monk, which would be quite chivalrous.

wrong.

Does that place in the real world have a lot to do with martial arts?

"You're all going over there?" Su Lin's eyes twitched.

“After all, we have the protection of Boss Yansen,” Huai Shi said.

It shouldn't be a problem, right?

Huai Shi wasn't sure either, after all, he was just a minor Shao Siming and hadn't advanced to Taiyi, so he wasn't involved in matters of cause and effect.
