Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1163 - 525: Buddha Slaying the Demon God, Shielding Qingtang City
The effect of using the "Buddha of the Three Times" has a very high probability of granting a summons to meet one of the three Buddhas from the east, central, and west.
If Lin Xun’s prediction isn’t wrong, then the "Buddha of the Present," who is also the Central Buddha, may have already been completely eroded by the Evil God.
If he successfully uses this effect, there’s a one in three chance that he’ll directly deliver himself up to them.
However, the other two Buddhas are not within this Chapter world, so even if the Vajra Bodhi Seeds are incredible, it’s impossible for them to allow him to traverse the endless expanse of stars and be directly summoned to another Chapter world.
Therefore, the chances of delivering himself up might not be one in three, but a hundred percent...
"Damn it, here I thought the ’Buddha of the Three Times’ would be some kind of incredibly powerful effect, but is this all it does?"
[After slaying the soul of the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha,’ you came before the young Dharma King and said to it, which sat in a daze upon the ground, that you would help it attain the position of the Great Dharma King. Now you have kept your word, and all who dared to obstruct you have been born into supreme bliss.]
[From this day forward, it will be the Great Dharma King of Qingtang City, obligated to teach the people and devoutly worship ’Homage to the Great Sacred Relic Venerable King Buddha.’]
[Saying this, you switched to the Shell of the ’Son of Evil,’ driving the ’Wheel of All Evils and Sins’...]
[As the embodiment of the Six Great Reincarnations manifested, the rubble of the main hall began to roll together, coalescing into a statue that was identical to the ’Son of Evil.’]
[The young Dharma King moved its lips hesitantly, taking a long while to regain its senses. It looked at you with complex eyes, and then with a trembling voice, it prostrated, saying, "Thank you, Elder Brother... no, no, thank you, Buddha."]
[The disciple will certainly worship you day and night from now on, ensuring all the people of Qingtang City offer incense to you...]
[...]
[...]
[The next day, the former Secret Trace Temple suddenly changed its name to Leiyin Temple, leaving the common folk bewildered, thinking some great change had occurred, and they flocked to the temple en masse.]
[Thronging crowds of people packed the temple grounds, and the temple aides were too busy to touch the ground with their feet.]
[The main hall, originally dedicated to the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha,’ is under renovation—having been struck by a falling star from the sky yesterday, destroying both the main hall and the Buddha statue...]
[Since the main hall is still being restored, the Buddha statue is temporarily enshrined in a side hall, and incense customers are all hurrying to the side hall...]
[But within the side hall, the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha’ statue is nowhere to be seen. Instead, there is a new Buddha statue standing on the divine platform, one never before seen; although its face is not clear, it possesses a dignified and sacred aura, simultaneously showing compassionate eyes and pity for the world, as well as fierce, wrathful eyes that are formidable.]
[The Buddha statue holds the Demon Subduing Vajra Pestle in a vajra hand, its Dharma aspect majestic and peerless, as if it could deter all petty evil spirits. Such majesty even surpasses that of Buddhism’s Great Dharmapala ’Saigandada Day’!]
[According to the incense customers who heard earlier, this Buddha is called ’Homage to the Great Sacred Relic Venerable King Buddha’?]
[The people have never heard of such a name for a Buddha, nor have they found it in the scriptures. With the sudden appearance of this new Buddha, they feel some resistance, yet they’re also curious...]
[The young Dharma King smiles and personally explains in front of the divine platform to the assembly of incense customers...]
[Although gods and celestial beings live for very long and extensive lifespans, they too have the five signs of decay.]
[When clothes become filthy, the crown of the head wilts, sweat forms under the armpits, the body smells foul, and joy in one’s seat is lost—these five major signs of decay signify that a celestial’s life is nearing its end, and that their demise is imminent.]
[Yesterday’s celestial event of a falling star, destroying the main hall and the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha,’ indicated that the Buddha had reincarnated...]
[Upon hearing this, the crowd of incense customers burst into clamor.]
[The ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha’ has been worshipped by the people of Qingtang City for many years, blessing disciples and civilians over long periods. How could it have suddenly disappeared?]
[With the loss of this spiritual pillar, how will the people of Qingtang City continue to live and work in peace?]
[It is said that thousands of years ago, in the Central Plains, the struggle for incense worship was intense beyond compare. Demons and Demon Gods wreaked havoc in the mortal realm, fighting over incense offerings, causing dead bodies to spread across fields and suffering among living beings.]
[Fortunately, although Yama God had no desire to compete for incense offerings, he could not bear to see the suffering of mortals, and he sent down numerous Buddhas to eliminate demons and evil spirits, bringing a bright and peaceful world to the people, and that’s why today’s Central Plains enjoy such a peaceful and prosperous era.]
[But some days ago, terrifying rumors spread from Uss City of a Demon God causing mischief. Even the ’Mother of all Evils Buddha’ couldn’t defeat the Demon God and had her Dharma Body severed...]
[Although it’s been heard that Yama God’s Left Attendant Bodhisattva, the ’Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva,’ descended to reveal his saintly presence and subdue the Demon God, who can be certain that there’s only that one Demon God lurking in the mortal realm?]
[Demons and Demon Gods have hidden away for many years, and the children of the mortal realm do not want to recall the fear of being ruled by them.]
[At such a critical moment, with the ’Void Hidden Trace Buddha’ showing the five signs of celestial decline, reincarnating, who will now protect the tens of thousands of people of Qingtang City?!]
[What if another Demon God sets its sights on Qingtang City? What kind of hellish scene would that be?]
[For a time, a silent atmosphere of panic spreads...]
[The young Dharma King speaks up, "Do not panic, esteemed ones, why would Yama God allow his children to be troubled by Demon Gods?]
[This ’Homage to the Great Sacred Relic Venerable King Buddha’ is a newly enlightened Buddha, with vast supernatural powers and boundless magical strength. Even if a demon dares to trouble Qingtang City, there’s no need to fear, for the Buddha himself will manifest on earth to vanquish demons and protect his followers...]
[The people are somewhat incredulous—how could such a grand Buddha be enshrined in the small Qingtang City?]
[Could it be that the young Dharma King, in an effort to stabilize the people’s hearts, has fabricated a Buddha to beguile the public and incense customers?]
