Chapter 405: Shakyamuni: How about I just keep looking like this?

Spirit Mountain, Great Thunderclap Temple.

The small figure sitting cross-legged on the lotus pedestal slowly opened their eyes, gazing toward a certain direction.

At the end of that direction was a small, calm, and ripple-free pond.

Beside the pond, on a stone tablet engraved with bright red characters, three large words were written.

【Yaksha Pond】

Beside Yaksha Pond.

A stealthy figure tiptoed to check the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one around and no one was paying attention to this place, they turned around and spoke to the person behind them.

"Hey, blondie, are you sure you've shielded this place with the Boundary?"

"White-hair, if you want to pick a fight, just say so. I, for one, don't mind having a brawl with you right here."

Halloween Queen rolled her eyes, looking speechlessly at the thief-like Shiroyasha before her.

She was, at the very least, a Star Spirit of the same caliber as herself, and in a sense, even existed as her mother; what was this thief-like posturing all about?

Besides, did she really think that merely shielding the Boundary would be enough to hide from *that* person?

"Tsk, I knew you were unreliable."

Lying on the ground with dust from her previous crawling still on her face, the somewhat disheveled-looking Shiroyasha muttered, then stood up and brushed the dust off her body.

"So, I borrowed this from Su Nian in advance."

As she spoke, Shiroyasha smirked and took a book from her bosom—the Three-digit Authority Artifact 【Mythological Apocrypha】, forged by Su Nian using two Authorities plus the mythology of a world.

It could fictionalize historical mythology, modify and shake the Spirit Status of Divine Spirits, and even fictionalize Divine Spirits that either truly existed or did not.

In terms of masking one's aura, this thing was simply too useful; even if Halloween Queen didn't look carefully, she would be deceived.

"Heh, a loser who only knows how to rely on her own Retainers."

Halloween Queen sneered.

"You're just jealous that I can rely on Su Nian. If you're so capable, go ask Su Nian for one to play with too."

Shiroyasha said, patting the Mythological Apocrypha in her hand quite smugly.

Shiroyasha's repeated provocations made Halloween Queen's expression grow increasingly cold, and she glared fiercely at Shiroyasha.

"Hah, a loser who can't even support her own Retainers and ends up being kept by them instead."

"As expected, it would be better to have Su Nian resign from your side sooner; being my Knight definitely has more of a future than being your Retainer."

"Who are you calling someone who only relies on their own Retainers?"

Shiroyasha stomped her feet in anger, but she couldn't refute it, as the fact was indeed just like that.

"Clearly... Su Nian also relies on me..."

As she spoke, Shiroyasha's momentum gradually faded.

"Do you think I believe that?"

Halloween Queen snorted, responding like a child.

"Hey, you!"

Shiroyasha was furious, glared fiercely at Halloween Queen, and then muttered.

"I don't need you to believe it."

"Then what about Algol? Do you think she believes your words?"

Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha with disdain.

"If it weren't for Su Nian, take that behavior of yours back when you were at the hot springs with Algol—wearing her underwear and confessing to her, refusing to return it unless she agreed."

"See if she would give you a pleasant look."

"Ah, this..."

Shiroyasha guiltily shifted her gaze away.

"Did I really do such an excessive thing back then? I don't even remember it, hahahaha~~"

Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha with disdain and continued to roast her.

"By the way, there's also the time after you harassed Algol countless times, she agreed to someone, but that someone ran..."

Before Halloween Queen could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by Shiroyasha.

"Don't say it... those are just insignificant things from the past; let's just treat them as the past now, okay?"

Shiroyasha said in a pleading tone.

Even with a thick skin like Shiroyasha's, when revisiting these dark histories, she had the urge to go back in time and strangle her past self.

"Who doesn't have a younger self? Is it really worth it?"

Shiroyasha released Halloween Queen, kicked a pebble on the roadside, and muttered.

"In any case, this time you cooperate with me to pass through Yaksha Pond and retrieve my Spirit Status that is sealed within the Three Thousand Worlds."

The Simulated Star Creation Map: Three Thousand Worlds is the supreme Simulated Star Creation Map of Buddhism, and also the creation of Shakyamuni, who gathered all his understanding of the principles and laws of Buddha.

It is the recognized strongest Simulated Star Creation Map in Little Garden; it is rumored that the Three Thousand Worlds record three thousand different cosmologies.

It is the cosmology and Simulated Star Creation Map closest to the true world.

At the same time, the Three Thousand Worlds also possesses the strongest suppression and sealing ability in Little Garden; the Five Finger Mountain that suppressed Sun Wukong for five hundred years was merely one-billionth of its power.

And its true power is used to seal and suppress Shiroyasha's Heaven-Moving Theory Spirit Grid.

In fact, as a Spirit Grid of the Heaven-Moving Theory that reigns over all cosmologies, if it does not belong to a certain religious God Group, it will bring about chaos in the laws of celestial bodies.

But for the Heaven-Moving Theory that reigns above all cosmologies, which religion is qualified to contain the Heaven-Moving Theory Spirit Grid?

This is a paradox in itself.

This is also the reason why Shiroyasha's Heaven-Moving Theory Spirit Grid is suppressed in the Three Thousand Worlds.

If it were not suppressed by the Three Thousand Worlds, the Heaven-Moving Theory Spirit Grid would bring about chaos in the laws of celestial bodies and boundless natural disasters.

Only the Three Thousand Worlds could seal such a powerful Spirit Status.

But now, even those old fogies in Buddhism dare to jump in her face; do they really think that just because she temporarily entrusted her Spirit Status to Buddhism, she truly belongs to Buddhism?

And they even want to use this to forcibly usurp Su Nian's Last King for Buddhism?

Shiroyasha could not hold back anymore.

She intended to retrieve the Spirit Status she had placed in the Three Thousand Worlds and return to the rank of Two-digit.

As for whether it would cause chaos in the celestial laws and bring about natural disasters?

Su Nian told her that she was overthinking it; that was only because she couldn't control her own power and had set the sensitivity too high.

As the will severed from the Little Garden Central and the Star Spirit of the Original Star, Shiroyasha's control over Little Garden was naturally maxed out.

A few stray thoughts of hers were enough to cause chaos.

However, now that the will of the Little Garden Central was gradually recovering under Su Nian's influence, and with Shiroyasha paying attention, these effects could be suppressed.

In fact, as the only privileged user in all of Little Garden, Shiroyasha was completely unrestricted by the rules of Little Garden.

Little Garden's own daughter? No, Little Garden itself!

"One Sun Authority, of the Twelve Zodiacs."

The Halloween Queen said indifferently.

This single sentence directly shattered Shiroyasha's previous thoughts, making her mouth hang open.

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Didn't you promise you would give me a cheaper price?"

The Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha with great surprise at this moment.

"This is already the discounted price. How about you sell your relationship with Su Nian to me? I could even pay you an extra Sun Authority on top of that."

"You... I knew it, you are still plotting against Su Nian..."

Shiroyasha gritted her teeth resentfully and glared at the Halloween Queen.

"Can't we just maintain our relationship with Su Nian together like we are now?"

"Together?"

The Halloween Queen was genuinely surprised this time.

"Do you think you are worthy?"

She said this with a look of disdain.

"I'm afraid that you would use your relationship with Su Nian to harbor ulterior motives against me."

"Besides, back when I was first summoned, who was it that exchanged their own original scent for my undergarments and tried to turn me?"

Shiroyasha let out a "woo" sound, her face turning red as she said.

"That was the Baiye King from the Dawn Period; what does that have to do with me, Shiroyasha?"

"And if you can accept Algol, why can't you accept adding me?"

Shiroyasha glared at the Halloween Queen and said.

"I raise Su Nian, Su Nian raises Algol; is there a problem with that?"

"At least Algol doesn't harbor ulterior motives against me."

The Halloween Queen's lips curled slightly as she said.

How could the values of a Star Spirit be compared to those of an ordinary person? Moreover, Algol was raised by Su Nian, and Su Nian was raised by her.

Algol was innately more than a head lower than her; what was wrong with her being magnanimous?

KO!!

Shiroyasha clutched her heart in pain and lay on the ground.

Above Spirit Mountain.

The Buddha, pinching his fingers in a mudra, felt the corner of his mouth twitch slightly.

As someone who prided himself on having profound attainments in the field of 【Causality】, he did not know why he could no longer understand the relationship between Su Nian, the Halloween Queen, Shiroyasha, and Algol.

Especially after adding the setting that Shiroyasha, as the Star Spirit of the Original Star, was literally the mother of all Star Spirits.

This relationship became even stranger.

Was this really something an old man like him should be listening to or watching?

Getting old, getting old; he couldn't keep up with the thinking and rhythm of today's young people.

Shakyamuni couldn't help but sigh.

He lowered his head to look at himself, then looked at Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen who were still arguing, and pondered for a moment.

Should I just continue to maintain this appearance?

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that Buddhism also needed to keep pace with the times.

He heard that young people after the millennium quite liked this kind of "gap moe"; perhaps he could give it a try.

Thinking this, Shakyamuni's gaze swept over Buddhism, seeing their man-eating appearances—sharp teeth, sparse eyebrows, red eyes, and green faces—beneath their Golden Bodies, and he sighed.

Let's continue the Dharma assembly.

He wanted to see just how many True Buddhas there were in the vast Buddhism.

As his thoughts stirred, the golden bell of the Mahavira Hall emitted a toll as mighty as the sound of thunder.

Countless Buddhas gathered toward the Mahavira Hall, and when they saw the loli Buddha sitting on the lotus throne.

They all wore expressions of doubting their lives for a moment.

Hmm?? Is this still the Great Thunderclap Temple? Did they go to the wrong place?

Shakyamuni ignored the guys whispering and discussing below and silently began to preach the scriptures.

For a time, the Great Thunderclap Temple on Spirit Mountain was filled with Sanskrit sounds, Buddha Light shone everywhere, and the blooming lotus flowers seemed to be intoxicated by the Sanskrit sounds as well.

On the other side, Shiroyasha, understanding that there was no time to lose, looked at the Halloween Queen before her who wore a smile that was not quite a smile, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"It's just a Sun Authority, isn't it? I'll give it to you!"

It would end up in Su Nian's hands in the end anyway.
