Chapter 378: Leaving the Mess for the Present Buddha to Handle
"Supposedly?"
Sun Wukong said with some uncertainty; she could not quite tell the true state of Indra right now.
Within her Fiery Golden Eyes, the Indra at this moment had been directly taken out because the extreme shock caused his hidden injuries to erupt all at once.
As for whether it was real or fake? Her intuition told her that Indra was perfectly fine; this old geezer was definitely living well, at least he would not die so easily.
Previously, after having his heart gouged out by Angra Mainyu, this old geezer was still jumping around; he wouldn't just be scared to death by a mere fright.
Look at how many people present actually believed it?
Moreover, as a Divine Spirit, as long as Indra was not killed by Humanity's Final Trial, it was not difficult to spend some time to resurrect.
"Then let's just treat him as dead."
Su Nian glanced at the life-or-death-unknown Indra and said indifferently.
"So let's discuss how to handle this Indra, shall we?"
Su Nian revealed a smile, took out a Magic Card containing that Indra from Demon High School, and placed it on the table.
Afterwards, Su Nian narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Jian.
He was very curious about what kind of thoughts his fellow countryman would have regarding this audacious plan of his.
To be honest, Su Nian really wanted Yang Jian to stir up trouble with him and rectify the current Little Garden.
"Yang has no objections; everything should be decided by you, Su Nian."
Yang Jian sat up straight and said quite seriously.
"It is just that this matter is of great importance; if there is no legitimate reason, it is not easy for Yang to get involved."
The implication was that if there were a legitimate reason, Yang Jian indicated that he should be included in such matters.
After all, having stayed in the sparsely populated Chinese Mythology region for so many years, he was also extremely bored.
And as the Judicial Heavenly God, he had also been displeased with the relationships between the gods and humans in the current Little Garden for a long time.
To be honest, why should the gods of Little Garden be high and mighty, relying on past Merit to easily harvest Human History, harvest their Merit, and harvest their success?
In the vast Little Garden, there are nearly ten million Outer Gates, the vast majority of which are lower layers, but among the vast lower layers, there are very few wild Communities that have reached the Four-digit level and have no God Group behind them.
There is not a single one, or rather, the only one qualified to be called a naturally grown Four-digit Community is the Dragon Horned Griffin.
As for the others? They were either occupied by others or seized by force.
Even the Dragon Horned Griffin did not necessarily lack the help of Arcadia's influence.
After all, a Community with a God Group behind it can lose many times and still rise quickly.
But ordinary Communities cannot afford to lose even once, and they even have to be cautious when winning.
Once they offend a subordinate force of some God Group... then they must be wary of a Devil attack.
And the Devils too; Devils without a background would have long been caught by the Heavenly Army to boost their performance records; wild Devils are now a rare species.
Little Garden, one can only say it is worthy of the name of a paradise for Gods and Buddhas and Asuras.
And it is only a paradise for Gods and Buddhas and Asuras.
And among the various God Groups, the one that oppresses the most, plunders the most ruthlessly, and has the greatest influence is Buddhism.
After all, it is well known that Buddhism has many people and is protective of its own, and the consequence is extreme suppression of existences outside of Buddhism.
The Cross Religion at most sells Atonement Scrolls, and even the Atonement Scrolls are things others do under the name of the Cross Religion.
After all, you cannot expect a group of fanatics and Angels without gender or self to plunder others; they just harvest Merit.
But the incense tax of Buddhism is like skinning and cramping; even the last bit of faith is plundered clean.
After all, building a Golden Body really costs resources, and it costs more than just Merit.
Those gold-and-silver-clad Buddha statues consume real gold and silver.
Although other God Groups are not much better, other God Groups only want faith and Merit, and they look down on those things in the lower layers.
Little Garden has long since changed its flavor.
Although he is no longer in Little Garden, as the Judicial Heavenly God, seeing a place gradually change for the better, he is ultimately willing to lend a helping hand.
The first step is to deal with Buddhism, which is the least human-like.
A Buddha cultivates the 【Heart】 and pursues 【Enlightenment】, not a 【Golden Body】, and certainly not the so-called Spirit Status of a 【Buddha】.
That is a 【God Buddha】, not a 【Buddha】.
But the key to dealing with Buddhism is not Buddhism itself, but the one sitting on Spirit Mountain, that Buddha who should have transcended all Causality and attained Enlightenment.
Therefore, no one dares to take this step.
But now the Buddha has finally made up his mind and is preparing to leave Little Garden; this is the best opportunity.
Once successful, one can deal with the cancer that is Buddhism, although Buddhism will still be a tough nut to crack after the Buddha leaves.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian could not help but smile; perhaps this junior of his could really make Little Garden look brand new?
Yang Jian is looking forward to the arrival of that day.
Perhaps the days ahead in Little Garden will not be so hard to endure.
The only pity is that he, the Judicial Heavenly God, would actually think of letting others rectify all of this.
"That is natural."
Su Nian cupped his hands toward Yang Jian and said.
"It is just that in the future, I hope to trouble Brother Yang often."
"Good lad, don't forget to bring me along when the time comes."
Sun Wukong skillfully put her arm around Su Nian's neck, used tea as wine, and clinked glasses with Su Nian.
When it comes to fighting Buddhism, she is not sleepy at all; does he really think she is the Fighting Victorious Buddha of her own free will?
"I wouldn't forget Hou Jie, no matter who I forget."
Su Nian drained the tea in his cup in one gulp.
Su Nian was still in quite a good mood; his plan hadn't even started yet, and already two helpers had arrived.
With that, a group of troublemakers who loved to watch the chaos gathered together, preparing to stir up a rebellion against Buddhism.
At this moment, Su Nian swirled his teacup and sighed with a touch of emotion.
"It's a pity Nezha isn't here, otherwise the three great rebels of the Heavenly Court would be complete."
"Nezha? The three great rebels of the Heavenly Court?"
Hearing this, Yang Jian raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Nian with a wry smile, finally understanding the source of Su Nian's misunderstanding.
"Nezha isn't as rebellious as we are; he is a proper Dharma-protecting Great Deity of Buddhism."
That Tota Li Tianwang in the Heavenly Court of Little Garden was actually the famous military god from the Tang Dynasty who ascended; he has nothing to do with Nezha.
On the contrary, because of the widely circulated Investiture of the Gods, the relationship between Nezha and Li Jing has become awkward.
This is also one of the reasons why Nezha is in Buddhism.
Otherwise, why wouldn't Nezha claim the Spirit Statuses like the Marshal of the Central Altar of the Heavenly Court? Is it because he dislikes that the Spirit Status and Merit are not good? Or is it because he dislikes that the Heavenly Court's treatment isn't good enough?
"Alright."
Su Nian shrugged helplessly, feeling a bit regretful; he had almost gathered the three great rebels of the Heavenly Court.
"However, Nezha might not be impossible to win over."
Yang Jian said after pondering for a moment; his relationship with Nezha was still relatively good, after all, both were from the Chan Sect.
Afterwards, Su Nian waved his hand and set down his teacup.
"Alright, let's stop here with these matters; let's discuss how to deal with this Indra next."
As his voice fell, the entire living room gradually quieted down, with only the sound of Yang Jian rhythmically tapping the table in thought.
"Yang believes it is better to keep this Indra; the possibility of him being the Lord of Mount Sumeru might just become a sharp sword for us to use against Buddhism."
Buddhism has many sects and complex schools; sometimes, different sects can fight until they beat each other's brains out.
Heretics are far more hateful than infidels; if it weren't for the World-Honored One suppressing them, Buddhism would have long ago split into who knows how many factions.
"After the World-Honored One leaves, we only need to release—no, no need to release, just keep it hidden for a period of time, and after the World-Honored One leaves, Buddhism will naturally fall into infighting over this possibility."
The World-Honored One is more like an Only God than Yahweh; after all, Yahweh at least came up with the concept of a Trinity, which could produce three Two-digit entities.
But Buddhism only has the Past Buddha, the Present Buddha, and the Future Buddha; among them, the Past Buddha and Future Buddha sound nice, but they don't have the slightest possibility of becoming Two-digit.
As for the reason, it goes without saying: the past has already passed, and the future will never arrive.
As for possibilities like Mara or others? Have you seen the Vajra in the World-Honored One's hand? Do you dare to want it?
Therefore, for the sake of that supreme position, they will inevitably fight over the possibility within that Indra from Demon High School.
After all, the Lord of Mount Sumeru is much easier to achieve than other messy Spirit Status possibilities.
Facing a behemoth like Buddhism, it can only be blown apart from the inside.
This is Yang Jian's idea.
Hearing this, Su Nian shook his head and said nothing.
In his view, Yang Jian's idea is feasible, but the destructiveness is too great; no one can guarantee what Buddhism will become without the World-Honored One.
Moreover, when Buddhism falls into infighting, it won't just be Buddhism that gets hurt.
Su Nian's idea is to slam the accelerator hard on the current Buddhism, preferably making this den of demons explode before the World-Honored One leaves.
And then leave the mess for the World-Honored One to deal with.
However, he also knew that this idea was too bold, and many details still needed to be deliberated, so he didn't say it out loud.
Although, because of Algol, the accelerator has already been pressed.
After all, through experiments, the rate at which this group of "Gods and Buddhas" in Buddhism is falling is truly a bit too fast, faster than one could imagine.
But there is never a shortage of powerful beings in Buddhism; even with Algol's truth, which Demon-Fell their Spirit Statuses from 【Gods and Buddhas】 into 【Mara】.
They also have ways to cover it up, pretending that nothing has happened.
They rely on that unique Buddhist skill, the method of casting a Golden Body, to plate themselves in gold.
Hiding inside the Golden Body Buddha statue, no one can see anything unusual.
Even Algol, if she didn't know she had already Demon-Fallen them and possessed the status of the Demon Ancestor, wouldn't be able to tell either.
Now Su Nian just wants to see when even the Golden Body won't be able to cover up their demonic aura.
Watching the World-Honored One look at these Maras all over the mountains and plains, he wonders if he will continue to be "merciful."
The World-Honored One, after all, is still a bit too much like a Buddha.
And not a person.
Thinking of this, Su Nian shook his head helplessly, as if he had understood something.
The upper limit of the Spirit Status and Gift system in this Little Garden ends here.
It is hard to even call a One-digit Spirit Status a Spirit Status anymore.
If a Spirit Status is the essence of life, then why wouldn't a One-digit Spirit Status give birth to its own self?
By the time you reach the end, is it you who became One-digit, or did you help a One-digit existence be born within you?
Perhaps this is the reason for the collective migration of the Chinese God Group.
