Chapter 336: Chapter 282: The Demon Calamity_2

Buddha Wutian said, "Indeed, you cannot escape your fate, just as a hundred years ago when you cast me into the Abyss of Darkness."

The Buddha Tathagata smiled and said, "Although you have comprehended destiny, you will never understand that by returning early, you have altered destiny and will ultimately be destroyed by it."

Buddha Wutian smirked ferociously, "I will become the master of the three realms, who can extinguish me?"

The Buddha Tathagata smiled and said, "Just as I cannot resist fate, neither can you,"

Amitabha, all are united in one heart, to create a divide, the black-robed Shakya, commanding the three realms, the true spirit cast, into the family of the worldly,

To be reborn in Nirvana, to return to the Buddhist realm, only the child, only the lineage, can unravel this disaster, the Qian Kun bright and clear, the two hearts merge into one."

As he spoke, the golden lotus of merit under his seat circulated with light, his body shone with a brilliant golden radiance, flames blazed fiercely, transforming into a Shariputra, seeking to enter the mortal world.

Buddha Wutian sneered coldly, "Trying to leave?"

He opened his mouth and swallowed the Tathagata’s Shariputra as well.

The monks present were all stricken with sorrow.

And the many other powerful beings remained silent; with the Heavenly Dao’s destiny in place, no one dared to act rashly, allowing Wutian to swallow the Shariputras of two Buddhas consecutively.

Moreover, given that strong ones like the Buddha Tathagata and Ancient Buddha Dipankara had chosen to enter Nirvana to avoid disaster, who were they to defy this destiny?

Like the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, he was among the many powerful ones present who understood the Heavenly Dao’s destiny the most.

In the order decreed by the Heavenly Dao, Wutian was to rule the three realms, which was one of the Heavenly Dao’s unalterable destinies meant to be executed immediately.

However, the destiny to revive Buddhism did not need to be so urgent; whether in a hundred years or five hundred, as long as it was achieved within five hundred years, it would suffice.

Therefore, no one dared to confront Wutian; going against the Heavenly Dao would invite its punishment.

...

Chang’an, Ancestral Martial Palace.

Sun Wukong had been closely following the frontline battles between the Great Han and Tianzhu.

Seeing Wutian and Kong Xuan appear, he was somewhat surprised, but only slightly, for he had already learned about this from his informant on Zhihu.

According to the informant, Moluo’s true body was cast by the Tathagata into the Abyss of Darkness, and it was said that after metamorphosing into Wutian using the Power of Nirvana from the black lotus and Kong Xuan, it would take five hundred years to escape, which would be three hundred years after the journey to the West to fetch the scriptures.

But that was the original timeline.

Now, the timeline had already changed, with Moluo becoming Wutian three hundred years ahead of schedule.

Some informants on Zhihu had speculated that the time Wutian would occupy the three realms might also be brought forward.

Looking at it now, it appeared to be true.

"Heh heh, interesting," Sun Wukong’s eyes sparkled with a lively spirit.

There were once netizens who said that both Buddha Wutian and the Buddha Tathagata had been possessed by Luo Hou.

First, Buddha Wutian’s predecessor, Moluo, had the obsession to bring back ’Axiu’, but after Wutian took over the three realms, he never thought of bringing ’Axiu’ back.

Furthermore, the ’Annihilative Black Lotus,’ a trademark treasure of Luo Hou, was used by Buddha Wutian.

Added to that, Demon Lords like Demon King Pishacha, Brahma, and the lords of the Desire Heavens willingly obeyed Buddha Wutian, also indirectly confirming the fact that Wutian had been possessed by Luo Hou.

Secondly, the Buddha Tathagata’s behavior was abnormal; not only did he suddenly overturn his previous arrangements, but he also chose to support Zhou Kao, a reincarnation of a Demon God of Darkness, to establish the Tianzhu kingdom, effectively offering covert support to the demon cult.

Not long ago, Golden Cicada brought back news that further confirmed the fact of the Tathagata’s possession.

Now the possessed Buddha Wutian and Tathagata, along with Ancient Buddha Dipankara, who had long since sided with demons, all arrived at the core location of this great calamity.

Clearly, this was not a coincidence.

"Have they truly entered Nirvana directly?" At that moment, Sun Wukong saw both Dipankara and the Tathagata entering Nirvana in succession, and both of their Shariputras were swallowed by Wutian.

If he had not known that both Wutian and the Tathagata had been possessed by Luo Hou, he might have actually been fooled by such a ploy.

"If Wutian and the Tathagata are of the same mind, then why perform this act of entering Nirvana and relinquishing their positions before the public?"

"""

"Heavenly Dao is fixed, is it?" Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, his eyes shooting out beams of divine light like arrows.

As the Great Han’s Sea-calming Divine Needle, he too sensed the warning from Heavenly Dao, cautioning against changing the fixed fate that allowed Wutian to rule over the Three Realms.

"Could it be true that Heavenly Dao harbors its own desires?" Sun Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully. Although he questioned it, by this moment, he had confirmed his speculation.

Firstly, the proud Chan Teaching, flattering and helping Tianzhu.

Next, many Demon Gods reborn were awakened, attempting to stir trouble within the Three Realms.

Lastly, the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Primordial Qilin all after freeing themselves from the suppression of Heavenly Dao, went to assist Tianzhu.

All these none can deny, prove that Heavenly Dao favors Tianzhu.

Now with Tianzhu close to destruction, Heavenly Dao released Wutian to utilize the fixed fate of Heavenly Dao, aiming to conquer the Three Realms.

"What’s the purpose behind Heavenly Dao’s actions?" Sun Wukong’s nimble eyes twinkled, quickly understanding the reason.

On the surface, it seemed that Heavenly Dao might wish to fulfill the predestined rise of Buddhism and return the debt of virtue to the Western Saints.

But in truth, it is all to assist Luo Hou.

With Buddhism’s great rise, Buddha Tathagata will profit, and this founder of the Buddha Sect has already been possessed by Luo Hou.

Not to mention Wutian’s rule over the Three Realms, which directly equates to granting Luo Hou control of the Three Realms.

Thus, both these fated outcomes benefit Luo Hou!

But a new question arises: why would Heavenly Dao go to such lengths to assist Luo Hou?

After pondering for a moment, Sun Wukong made up his mind.

However, before taking action, he felt it was more prudent to consult his friends on Zhizu Network once again.

He opened the Persuasion System, connected his consciousness to the Zhizu platform, and posted everything that had happened, his speculations, and decisions.

Soon, many replies appeared.

Subspace: "See, I was right wasn’t I, Hong Jun represents the righteous, and with selfish desires, Heavenly Dao wants to occupy the entire Three Realms. That’s why Hong Jun merged with Heavenly Dao, to curb its volition."

Wang Beibei: "It has always been like this, from the moment Luo Hou reappeared in the Three Realms, this was confirmed since Luo Hou and Hong Jun are archenemies."

Physiognomy of Heaven and Earth, Primordial Monkey: "But, would it make sense for a Heavenly Dao with personal desires to help Luo Hou? After all, Luo Hou is a foreigner, while Heavenly Dao is our own management system, how could it turn traitor?"

Gain without labor is impossible: "Or it could be that Heavenly Dao itself has been replaced by an outsider. After Pan Gu created Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Dao of the Vast Wilderness was initially chaotic,

before Hong Jun used the Creation Jade Disc to organize the Vast Wilderness’s Heavenly Dao, those surviving Primordial Demon Gods likely had the chance to usurp control over the volition of Heavenly Dao."

Dragon Traverses Thousands of Miles: "That’s possible, if Hong Jun can merge with the Dao, other powerful Demon Gods might as well."

Proud yet Humble: "Hmm, just like previously said by Wang Shu, Hong Jun could be the Fate Demon God, and now since we can confirm Hong Jun is not Fate, could it be that the Fate Demon God has replaced the volition of Heavenly Dao? Keep in mind, Fate is best at this kind of thing."

"Fate?" Sun Wukong, reading these responses, scratched his hand and fell into deep thought.

He recalled what Wang Shu had said, the Laws of Fate were the most elusive, the Fate Demon God in the Three Thousand Chaos Steles most mysterious, the best at planning and scheming, and the most insidious, with no one knowing who the Fate Demon God truly is.

As for Hong Jun being the Fate Demon God, that was Wang Shu’s own hypothesis.

Now it seemed indeed possible that Fate had usurped the volition of Heavenly Dao.

He continued reading the replies.

Malign Corner: "Regardless of whether it’s Fate who usurped the volition of Heavenly Dao, can we confirm now that Heavenly Dao is assisting Luo Hou, actually all to contend with Hong Jun?"

Triple Existence Product: "This conclusion is easy to determine, just by changing the fixed fate that allows Wutian to rule over the Three Realms, exposing Heavenly Dao’s calculations, all truths will come to light."

[You have received a new suggestion: Change the fixed fate of Buddha Wutian ruling the Three Realms, completing the suggestion will grant you an eighth-order treasure chest]

Sun Wukong paid no further attention to the other replies; his mind was already filled with more schemes. Then he stepped directly into the teleportation formation within the Ancestral Martial Palace and headed for the battlefield at Hidden Mist Mountain.

As for the warning from Heavenly Dao, he didn’t take it to heart at all.

Now that the situation was clear, what was there to fear from a Heaven that had developed its own desires!
