Chapter 379: Indra, You Wouldn't Want

Yang Jian glanced at Su Nian, who was shaking his head, and realized that Su Nian might be dissatisfied with his plan.

Yet he felt no dissatisfaction at all; on the contrary, he was somewhat happy.

After all, in his view, he was merely the brick cast to attract jade; the one who truly decided the layout of the plan and executed it was Su Nian.

He was nothing more than a foil.

Then, Yang Jian continued to speak.

"And before things reach that stage, there is another important matter that needs to be handled, and that is the Heavenly Army."

As he spoke, Yang Jian looked at Indra with cold eyes; even though Indra was merely a corpse at this moment, he could still feel the chill radiating from Yang Jian's gaze.

"The Yellow Emperor entrusted the Heavenly Army to you, certainly not so you could run the Heavenly Army into this wretched state."

"May I ask, regarding the current Heavenly Army, besides the Twelve Heavenly Generals, how many people can you actually mobilize?"

"Oh, no, wait—now you can't even mobilize many of the Twelve Heavenly Generals anymore."

"How many seats do you still hold within the Heavenly Army Council?"

Watching Indra, who was still playing dead, Yang Jian shook his head helplessly and stopped paying attention to him.

He knew he could not wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.

"In order to cope with the impact that may come after the World-Honored One departs, the Heavenly Army must be rectified and purged."

As Yang Jian said this, his voice became even more resonant and powerful.

"Only a strong, disciplined, and united Heavenly Army can best maintain the order of Little Garden."

"If you, Indra, cannot do it, you can let me, Yang Jian, take over."

As he spoke, Yang Jian's voice gradually turned cold; although he detested these power struggles and convoluted schemes,

for the sake of the order of Little Garden and the safety of its countless lives, he was not unwilling to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

At worst, he would just release his Spirit Status and become a Three-digit.

Not to mention, he didn't come back to guard Little Garden empty-handed; he had naturally come fully prepared.

A Simulated Star Creation Map? It wasn't as if he didn't have one.

He was confident in his ability to suppress these heavens filled with Gods and Buddhas single-handedly.

With the assistance of the monkey, he would only be more certain of suppressing everything with even less cost.

"There is no need to make such a sacrifice."

Su Nian waved his hand, suppressing Yang Jian's emotions; he ignored the corpse-like Indra, crossed his legs, and said.

"Buddhism won't be able to stir up any trouble, because the eighteenth Universal Truth is 【Demon】."

As soon as Su Nian finished speaking, the air fell silent once again.

【Demon】

To think that after so many years, 【Demon】 would eventually appear in Little Garden again.

And for the World-Honored One to actually allow the birth of 【Demon】?

The Spirit Statuses in Little Garden related to 【Demon】 were Mara and the Demon King, but both of these Spirit Statuses were held in the hands of the World-Honored One.

The profound meaning behind this could not help but make one shudder upon deep reflection.

However, as a 【Demon】, when it came to restraining Buddhism, it was absolutely perfectly targeted.

It might not have much effect on those who could truly be called True Buddhas, but what if Spirit Mountain were full of True Buddhas?

Then what were they worrying about here? They should just go eat, drink, and play.

Why bother worrying about the sky falling here?

Yang Jian couldn't help but glance sideways at Su Nian; truly, the younger generation is to be feared.

It was no wonder the Great Heavenly Venerable and the others would allow him to take over everything left behind by the Chinese God Group.

"As long as the Heavenly Army doesn't lose its mind and go to crusade against Algol, I can guarantee that Buddhism won't be able to stir up any noise."

Hearing this, Yang Jian fell silent; so this was the method used to solve it?

He had learned something new; he had truly learned something new.

He had originally thought Su Nian might be one of that 【Demon】's people, but he hadn't expected that 【Demon】 was actually one of Su Nian's people.

It was a rare sight; he never thought he would actually see a living novel protagonist one day.

As for Sun Wukong, he felt some regret for connecting Su Nian and Jialing; how could Jialing possibly compete with Algol?

Su Nian's meaning was very simple: the eighteenth Universal Truth that had previously fought Shakyamuni was Algol, whose essence was 【Demon】.

Combined with the bump on Su Nian's head, the problem was quite obvious.

"However, that's a bit hard to say."

Yang Jian shrugged his shoulders helplessly; it wasn't that he wanted to pour cold water on them, but that was simply the reality.

"Currently, Buddhism holds the most seats in the Heavenly Army, and the majority of the lower and middle-level executive personnel are from Buddhism; it's hard to say that Buddhism won't control the Heavenly Army to protect itself."

"By the way, as an aside, the other small portion is Ouroboros... no, to be precise, it should be called Hydra now."

"And after Hydra reorganized, I don't know why, but the snake's tail feels much harder to catch than before."

"The ones we've caught are all insignificant small fry."

As he spoke, Yang Jian couldn't help but glance at Su Nian.

The implication needed no further explanation.

The second-largest snake head of Hydra was right here.

Su Nian coughed awkwardly twice, pretending as if nothing had happened.

To dominate both the light and dark sides of Little Garden—that was just how arrogant he was.

"Small matter; Indra should be able to manage dragging the Heavenly Army's feet, right?"

Su Nian said, rubbing his chin with some hesitation.

Could this Indra, Lord of the Heavenly Army, really be so useless?

"Hard to say..."

Yang Jian shrugged his shoulders and said.

In any case, he had quite a low opinion of Indra.

"Then what if we tied a dog up there instead?"

Su Nian curled the corner of his mouth and asked curiously.

Yang Jian seemed to grasp Su Nian's implication; he nodded instantly, couldn't help but chuckle, and said.

"It might actually work, who knows."

The implication was that tying up a dog would be better than having Indra sit there.

It felt a bit excessive, though; at the very least, didn't Indra still handle administrative affairs?

Aside from thinking Indra was somewhat of a waste, Su Nian didn't have any other particular thoughts about him.

"It's a pity that this Indra is already dead, but the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army cannot remain vacant..."

Su Nian sighed, looked at Sun Wukong, looked at Yang Jian, and then looked at himself.

He just felt the current situation was strangely fated, given how few in Little Garden had the qualifications and background to become the Lord of the Heavenly Army.

The atmosphere gradually grew awkward; the few of them looked at each other, all feeling an urge to run away.

Well, confirmed: not a single one of them wanted to be this Lord of the Heavenly Army.

Even Yang Jian, who had just said he could temporarily stand in for Indra, lowered his arrogant head at this moment.

Laughable; whoever wants that thankless job can do it, but he certainly didn't want to.

If it were a matter of great principle, he would certainly not back down, but for such trivial matters, it was better to forget it.

Su Nian and Sun Wukong's thoughts were the same as his; they had no worldly desires.

"It's a pity Kalki is too young, otherwise I think he would be quite good for the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army."

Kalki is an honest and sincere child; as the final Savior, Kalki's aptitude is certainly sufficient, the only regret being that he isn't even a year old yet.

Hearing Su Nian's words, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at Su Nian.

No, you actually want Kalki to do it? You wouldn't exploit child labor like that, would you?

The kid isn't even a year old yet, okay!

Su Nian returned a look: I'm only twenty myself.

At this moment, Su Nian glanced at the Indra on the table, his eyes shifted, and he had an idea.

"By the way, what do you think of this Indra? He's still alive."

Yang Jian and Sun Wukong instantly understood Su Nian's idea and nodded quite approvingly.

"We have no objections; anyway, it's the same whoever sits in that position, and perhaps this Indra might even do better than that one."

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"By the way, Asura, what are your thoughts on getting a new dad?"

"And your mom should also quite want an Indra who is under her control, right?"

Asura's eyes lit up; getting a new dad and enjoying the fatherly love he had never experienced before seemed like a pretty good choice.

Meanwhile, Indra, who was lying there like a corpse, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat; he was just short of shouting, "Asura, don't!"

And Su Nian seemed to feel this wasn't enough, so he added more fuel to the fire for Asura.

"Right, I almost forgot to mention this Indra's glorious achievements."

Su Nian curled his mouth into a malicious smile again and said.

"While serving as the Lord of Mount Sumeru and the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, after discovering the Biblical God was dead, he united many divine systems of the East to challenge the Biblical God System, and failed."

"In the end, he even contacted powerhouses from an alien world invading the DXD World, attempting to destroy the Biblical God System, selling out the world for glory."

"Indra, you wouldn't want to be replaced by this Indra, would you?"

Su Nian said in a very soft voice into Indra's ear, while beside Su Nian was the eager Asura.

As long as it could annoy Indra, Asura had no objections.

Finally, Indra couldn't hold it in anymore; he leaped up, snatched the Indra from Su Nian's hand, and glared viciously at Su Nian.

He shouted through gritted teeth.

"Laozi isn't dead yet!! You're so eager to have someone replace Laozi, and even let such a petty person replace Laozi!"

"Are you all so afraid that Laozi won't sleep peacefully in the afterlife?"

Hearing this, Su Nian smiled and clapped his hands, saying.

"Congratulations to Indra for winning the resurrection match; it seems the position of Lord of the Heavenly Army is undisputed."

Instantly, Indra's expression froze.

He would rather have been replaced by that Indra; he couldn't stand being the Lord of the Heavenly Army for even one more day.

Especially after the possibility of being the Lord of Mount Sumeru and the Eastern Heavenly Emperor had been exposed.

The position of Lord of the Heavenly Army under his butt was even hotter; otherwise, why would he have faked his death so many times for no reason?

Was he bored? Wasn't it just to find a way to escape?

And now, in just a few words, he had been arranged by these little brats without them ever considering his opinion.

But he couldn't say anything, as maintaining the order of Little Garden was the duty of the Heavenly Army.

Although Su Nian and the others never considered relying on the Heavenly Army, their only requirement was that the Heavenly Army shouldn't hold them back or cause trouble.

This made Indra very sad; is the Heavenly Army really that bad?

It seems it really is...

Damn, even sadder now.
