Chapter 230
The Vedic Age has ended.
The mournful cries had become barely audible by the time they reached Hanuman's ears.
But as long as he can still hear that voice, his anger will only grow stronger, and he will never fall.
The once pristine snow-capped mountain paradise now bears a fatal crack.
Hanuman is like a monument, or a nail, firmly driven into the wound of the Pure Land.
The era of Dharma has arrived.
In Fangcun Mountain, under the Bodhi Tree.
Hebe remained silent.
The Yin-Yang Twin Pills hung on either side of Hebe.
When Kama glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see two weeping boys and girls.
The girl looked exactly Sita, and the boy looked remarkably like her.
Chapter 294 The Two Sides of History, Confusing with Me.
Everything old is being renewed, and a new world is being formed.
In the meantime, Hebe still had time to do something—she waved her hand and took the crying Yang Pill back into her palm.
Then the images of Rama and Sita gradually disappeared.
Is there a problem?
Hebe looked at Kama.
The latter's curious gaze was almost undisguised. "World Honored One, what I just saw was..."
"As you can see, it is indeed 'Rama' and 'Sita'."
Hebe replied meaningfully, "These two spirit orbs are their true forms now."
"I see."
Kama nodded in faith and reverence.
In her eyes, Hebe must have used some means to transform Yang Pill into the vessel for Sita's soul.
Hebe smiled slightly, "Kama, I'd like to eat something."
Although most of Fangcun Mountain has collapsed and the old products no longer exist, new products have also emerged as a result.
Kama put his hands together and bowed slightly to Hebe: "Yes, World Honored One, what would you like to eat? I will make it for you right away."
"No need for anything too complicated. I remember there seem to be some more pufferfish that float in the air on the second floating island to the west. Go and catch some."
After Kama left, Hebe turned his gaze back to the spirit orbs in his palm.
The smile on her face faded slightly, and she instantly flipped her hand over, pushing Yin-Yang Twin Pills, who was secretly grieving, to the ground.
Caught off guard, Yangwan rolled a long way on the ground; Yin Pill bounced a few times on the ground, still trying to get closer to Hebe.
"You two have been hiding yourselves very well!"
Hebe's voice was somewhat cold, "Holy King 'Rama,' ancient agricultural god 'Sita'! Or should I call you the guardian god 'Vishnu' and the auspicious deity 'Lakshmi'?!"
Yang Pill trembled, then rolled over and gently rubbed against Hebe's drooping fingers, making a gurgling sound.
Hebe remained silent, watching Yang Pill acting coquettishly in front of him.
These two Yang Pills, each containing over three thousand Taiping Wen Shu, were a reward from the June Archon Pearl after Hebe unlocked the Atlantis Lostbelt. Their appearance greatly compensated for Hebe's shortcomings in various skills. From Morgan, who was also among the Water Palace Immortal Class, Hebe learned that these two Yang Pills were originally Taiping Child and Maidens, also listed among the immortals.
Morgan found the existence of the Water Palace Immortal Class and received their lineage in Bharata; she attempted to change her path and achieved success in Lanfang, South Seas; finally, after her success, she went to Guangdong Province in Cathay and truly joined the Water Palace Immortal Class, changing her path from Canlang's to Pearl's.
This is the historical sequence as understood by Hebe.
She placed those two pills to contain Rama's spirit, allowing him to be reborn Sita. Her intention was to ride on the coattails of these two figures renowned in the Bharata.
Hinduism, which flourished under Bharata, is actually a rather mixed system—it is essentially a synthesis of various forms of worship and beliefs, and it was not inherently so, but rather forcibly created by external forces.
This is all Arthur's fault.
She has never been very creative.
Can you imagine Cathay forcibly combining various large and small religious sects such as "Yellow Emperor worship", "Yan Emperor worship", "Fuxi worship", "Nuwa worship" and then giving all of the above the name "Cathay Religion"?
Isn't that ridiculous?
The matter has been quite clearly explained at this point: Hinduism is rife with heresies, and basically no one is willing to submit to anyone else.
Another characteristic of the Bharata faith's reinterpretation is its respect for the original settings.
—For example, you wrote a prayer for a cat, in which you said that it could fly through the sky and escape into the earth, go up mountains and down into the sea, and had extraordinary power. In the end, it even defeated Indra through asceticism.
When I create a sequel, I will take over all your previous settings.
—That's right, this is indeed a cat with extraordinary strength that beats Indra through arduous training, but its name is Hakimi. It specializes in climbing on antique shelves, arching its back and hissing at people, and every three hisses it will unleash a powerful basic attack.
If future generations want to create a third version, it might become a catgirl who inherits all the above settings but can transform into a young girl.
This practice led the Bharata to particularly favor "forcibly including everything".
For example, Hebe remembers that in a previous life, the Vishnu sect claimed that the Buddha was the ninth emanation of Vishnu; of course, if you ask for details, they will argue, "Ah, we are not talking about Shakyamuni, but another Buddha who appeared as an emanation of Vishnu from a very distant past..."
When asked about the deeds of this Buddha from "ancient times ago," wow, they were basically no different from those of Shakyamuni.
Is it forcibly included? If so, then yes.
Some believe this alludes to the famous story of the Hindu scholar Shankara, who refuted and expelled Buddhism.
But when it comes to the origin of this claim, it's actually closer than many people think—it's the famous modern phenomenon of "secondary creation."
The real purpose of this statement is to boost Bharata's national self-confidence—"Oh, your highest faith is the incarnation of my god, we Bharata are truly the best!"
After all, some things seem a bit far-fetched at first glance. For example, Nehru, the predecessor of Hebe, after inheriting the political halo of Mahatma Gandhi, promoted the Non-Aligned Movement, established his hegemonic position in South Asia, and then planned to have a showdown with a certain Eastern power.
Unexpectedly, just a few years later, India's massive facade crumbled at the slightest provocation, and the ambitious Nehru was quickly killed.
Therefore, this kind of "forced inclusion of everything" operation will eventually result in a mountain of garbage code that is only good for internal discussion, and is extremely vulnerable to external pressure.
Hebe described it as "a big ball of dung wrapped in cowhide".
But then again, is there any solid consensus within this huge lump of dung?
Some brothers, some.
Whether they are holy kings or holy heroes, they all share the same source: Rama.
The difference lies in the fact that "Holy King" is a title for Kshatriya, emphasizing the identity of "king"; while "Mahatma" leans towards Brahmin title, emphasizing "sacrifice" and "divinity".
Apart from the Rama school, which directly worships him as the main god, hundreds of other schools also venerate Rama.
The reason is simple.
While Bharata may be free to create his own sect's main deity, if you're going to create your own sect's chief deity, you should at least make people believe in it.
Hey! Here comes King Rama, the famous stepping stone of Bharata, to pay homage to our chief god, Hakimi...
—Even Rama has come to believe in our supreme god, we win!
It is evident that, within the Hindu system, these two figures, Zhāramosita Sita, Rama essentially equivalent to the "Taishang Laojun's urgent decree" in Cathay Daoism.
Therefore, Hebe felt no guilt in letting Yang Pill ride on Rama's coattails.
Even if it ultimately succeeds, the order will be "Hebe's order to dispatch came first, followed by the creation of the Yang Pill."
But things are different now.
When Hebe retrieved the Yang Pill, she realized this.
—Before the Lostbelt history was settled by Hebe, these two pills were already "Rama" and "Sita".
If the order is correct, then there's only one possibility.
Kama believed that Hebe had somehow altered Sita's nature, causing a change in her race, but this was not the case.
They were the original beings from the very beginning—Yangmaru is Rama, Yin Pill is Sita.
In June Archon Pearl and sent Rama and Sita down to assist him.
Hebe's expression was somewhat unfriendly.
What's there to hide about the identities of these two dumplings?
"I only care about one thing, and that is your deliberate concealment."
Hebe's voice was calm. "As you can see, I have put in a lot of effort to change fate."
However, if the Yang Pill had revealed their identities earlier, Hebe could have directly turned them into humans.
Yang Pill clings to Hebe's fingers and circles around them ingratiatingly.
"...Um?"
A subtle message traveled from Hebe's fingertips like an electric shock, and her already furrowed brows suddenly lifted.
"Is this really true?"
Immediately afterwards, the two Yang Pill began to nod and shake repeatedly.
Hebe remained silent.
In the Atlantis Lostbelt, she laid the foundation for the existence of the soldiers, tracing it back to the First History. After the Lostbelt was conquered, this proof was witnessed by the various rulers.
In the present world, she unlocked Greek history through Closed Loop, allowing the gatekeepers to avenge their great grievances and enabling the various rulers to divide Greece.
Hebe wanted Yang Pill to taint Rama's aura, which was the reason she made this seemingly insignificant move.
No matter how history Closed Loop, there must be a beginning—that is, Hebe's decision to interfere with history.
To outsiders it appears as an endless circle, but to Hebe it is a line.
Before she drew this line, the possibility that "Yang Pill is Rama and Sita" should not exist, so the only possibility is that "Yang Pill is Rama and Sita".
Hebe had already leaned towards the latter, but now Danmaru was telling her that the first guess was correct.
—They were indeed transformed into Rama and Sita through Hebe's actions.
It was not the authority of the Pearl Empress, but Hebe's own great power.
Although Hebe never doubted that she would become the ruler of the Secret History Principle, this was the first time she had felt this kind of confusion about cause and effect.
"This is not Closed Loop, but a confusion..."
A realization dawned on Hebe: "Isn't this the essence of Eris?"
Hebe suddenly raised her eyes, staring at the dilapidated Fangcun Mountain before her, watching the ever-rising and falling void tides, and suddenly realized.
Secret histories always have two sides; just as the wolves have their necessity for existence, so too do Eris.
It can be said that Hebe herself represents the "history" aspect of the Secret History, which is the Closed Loop.
Eris, on the other hand, represents the "mysterious" side of the Secret History, which is confusion.
Therefore, she and Eris are of equal status, but their initial power disparity was extremely large—until now.
This is because she and Eris each possessed half of the secret history.
This means that the "Golden Truth" that Hebe will prove in the future will surely rival Eris.
Just like Scar Father and Crippled Wolf.
However, the change of positions between Private and Wolf gave Hebe a new possibility.
"Not confrontation, but innovation; not elimination, but replacement; not conquest, but elimination!"
Once proven, the Golden Truth cannot be destroyed; it is the essence of the world and the fundamental law that sustains its operation.
This is why Scar Father and other leaders have been unable to truly kill the brunt of the wolf's death.
Because the August Archon · Remnant Wolf represents both primal bestiality, bearing the final Beast's Destiny, and also holds the Golden Truth of the new generation, symbolizing that there is no way to retreat, no way to be defeated, to fight back, and to burn the essence of the world.
Therefore, when war breaks out, the power of the remnant wolf will be restored, and it will become strong again.
