Palm-Center Buddha Kingdom
Little B, the host has said long ago that it will be your time to step up.
Chongya, Little B.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You put away the scriptures, but did not leave.]
[Your eyes darkened slightly as you looked at the Buddha Lord before you.]
"There's something I don't understand."
You spoke up.
"Is it really Marici sitting here now?"
"Or Marici, whom all sentient beings sought out?"
[Or perhaps, is it the Marici that Marici wanted?]
[Upon uttering these three sentences, the solemn chanting in the main hall abruptly ceased.]
[Only a deathly silence remained.]
[The next instant, countless Arhats Bodhisattvas roared in unison.]
"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you blaspheme the Buddha Lord!"
"Heretics! Must be executed!"
[The golden statues of Bodhisattvas and Arhats on both sides simultaneously unleashed terrifying pressure, and hundreds of Demon-Subduing Pestles, daggers, and Vajra mudras rained down upon you.]
[The Buddha Lord on the high platform was also radiating golden light.]
[A vast force of will, transformed into a giant golden hand, descended from the sky, intending to obliterate you.]
[You stand still, your body motionless.]
[Amidst the overwhelming golden light and terrifying pressure, you glimpsed a sliver of light.]
I’ll Make Three Points!
[You spoke softly.]
[As soon as the words were spoken, the hundreds of Arhats and four Bodhisattvas in the main hall, and even the descending golden giant hand, paused for an extremely brief moment.]
[You changed your hand gesture, and your sleeves fluttered slightly.]
[Thousand Mechanisms Falling Blossoms Instruction, activated.]
[Suddenly, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones appeared in the Void, filling the entire hall with dense spiritual light.]
[In the next instant, all the Spirit Stones simultaneously lit up with a white light, and countless Spirit Stones exploded one after another throughout the hall.]
[I'm the Client, this agreement is effective.]
[The damage your enemies take is increased tenfold, while the damage they deal to you is reduced tenfold.]
[Work from Home, effective.]
[Office Trait are valid regardless of the environment.]
[Bully at Home, effective.]
[Your damage has been increased to fifteen times.]
[Right now.]
[A burst of silver light erupted from your Dantian. Ten thousand eight hundred flying blades roared out, transforming into a dazzling silver galaxy that circled around your body.]
[When the Milky Way appears, the world is transformed!]
[A silver galaxy flows upstream.]
[At the same time, a crow's cry echoed from within you.]
[A ball of flame bursts forth from your chest, swelling in the wind, transforming into a Lihuo Fire Crow with a wingspan of a hundred feet.]
[The Lihuo Fire Crow spewed out a burst of flame, carrying Star River Myriad Blades, which crashed into the giant golden hand.]
A crisp sound, like glass shattering, rang out.
[The giant golden hand, formed from the power of will, was shredded into countless points of light by the Star River Myriad Blades.]
[The Lihuo Fire Crow flapped its wings again, and flames swept across the entire hall, engulfing all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas who rushed forward.]
[The entire main hall, and even the entire Central Buddha Capital, shattered like a mirror.]
[The golden light faded, and the chanting subsided.]
This world has changed.
[You sheathed your Star River Myriad Blades and Lihuo Fire Crows, and quietly observed the scene before you.]
[Where is the jeweled lotus platform now? Where are the gold bricks and agates?]
The entire Central Buddha Capital was now nothing but a desolate ruin.
The dome of the main hall had long since collapsed, leaving only ruins.
[Those fanatical Bhikshu from before are now just desiccated corpses, scattered everywhere in their kneeling postures.]
[Those Arhats and Bodhisattvas vanished without a trace.]
[In the entire Central Buddha Capital, there was not a single living person.]
In the center of the main hall, only a broken Buddha statue remained.
Just as you were surveying the devastation, a glimmer of light appeared on the broken Buddha statue.
[You have finally seen the faint, lurking power of will in this world, the most basic and simple obsession of countless mortals.]
[You hear the owner of Chen's restaurant praying: "Buddha Lord bless us with favorable weather and abundant harvests..."]
[You hear the blacksmith kowtowing: "Buddha Lord bless Huzi so that he may grow up safely and peacefully..."]
[The lingering subconsciousness of these millions of dead converges on the broken Buddha statue.]
[The Buddha Lord in the temple still possesses power, and it will still grant wishes. But it has lost its self; it no longer knows who it is.]
[A grand voice resounds in your Sea of Consciousness.]
"Stay."
"As long as you stay and become a new Karmic Pillar, countless beings in this world can be reborn through you."
"You have saved all Buddha Lord Fruit Position, and come to control this world."
[As this sound rang out, countless mummified corpses on the ruins seemed to stir, their empty eye sockets turned toward you, as if pleading desperately.]
The power of wishes from heaven and earth converges madly upon you.
[The instant this immense force of will surged into your Sea of Consciousness, countless fragmented memories and karmic threads climbed up your Divine Sense.]
[You finally understand the truth about this Palm-Center Buddha Kingdom.]
[In the past, there was a great virtuous Marici, who made a great vow to save all sentient beings. He used Palm-Center Buddha Kingdom to gather millions of believers, entrusting their Destiny to himself, and thus attained the Buddha Lord Fruit Position.]
[Later, in a great battle, Marici fell, and this Buddha Kingdom, having lost its pillar, collapsed instantly.]
[Millions of beings could not even find peace in death, for their Destinies had long been intertwined with Marici's. With the Buddha Lord's death, millions of beings perished on the same day, and the entire Buddha Kingdom became a graveyard of vows.]
[What sustains the Buddha Kingdom today is the incomplete Divine Ability left by Marici, and the unwavering prayers of countless beings until their deaths.]
They refused to believe that Buddha Lord was dead; they continued to pray for Ultimate Bliss.
This immense obsession has maintained a false cycle of reincarnation on these ruins, awaiting the arrival of a new Buddha Lord.
[Options pop up.]
[A: Play along and observe the situation.]
[B: One person's sudden death drags down millions of ordinary investors, leaving behind a mountain of karmic debt! A total liability, even a dog wouldn't want it!]
[C: Kicks the Buddha statue aside, rips open his clothes, jumps onto the lotus platform, and roars into the microphone: "In the year of Marici is dead, and the great philanthropist Lu should rise! My fellow brothers, you've been dead for ten thousand years and are still frantically praying, this is the one-in-a-million Ultimate Dao Beast-of-Burden Saint Physique! Lu Group is expanding its recruitment on the spot! As long as each person pays 3.2 million in employee training fees, I will take you to the outside world to cultivate immortality and experience the 996 bliss! As long as you don't die, work yourself to death, and I guarantee you'll be reborn as a wage earner in your next life!"]
