Was this really the Great Living Buddha?
It looked like him, and his voice sounded like his too, but it still felt unreal to me.
I slowly walked toward him, wanting to get closer.
"This is not my true body, merely a projection."
I stopped. He seemed to have guessed what I wanted to do.
I frowned and narrowed my eyes.
A projection? I had only seen one person use such an ability—the system.
Could the Great Living Buddha do this too?
"Moreover, I had someone help me create this projection. To be honest, I really can't handle this sort of thing myself. You know that person too."
He did not say who it was, but I had already guessed. What I was unsure of now was whether this projection had truly been arranged by the Great Living Buddha. Were these truly his own words? Or was the system playing tricks again?
Even if Yangjin and Maru had been brought here, that did not necessarily mean the Great Living Buddha had done it. I believed that even with just a projection, the system could fool the mother and son into coming. After all, in their eyes, the Great Living Buddha was omnipotent, and this concerned my safety. Knowing Yangjin and Maru as I did, they would never stand by and do nothing.
"How can I be sure you are really you?" Anyone else would have been baffled by that question, but not the Great Living Buddha.
He was a man of great wisdom. Naturally, he understood what I was worried about.
"I cannot prove it to you either. You can only sense it and comprehend it for yourself. Enough. I have said all I can say. This projection cannot last much longer. Whether you keep going or turn back now
