Amitabha Buddha truly did not care that the originally Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva of great compassion and mercy had become Daoism's Cihang Universal Salvation Heavenly Venerate.
The number of Daoists attaining the Dao and becoming Saints had gradually risen.
One more or one less made no difference at all.
What he cared about was the effect Cihang Universal Salvation Heavenly Venerate would have on the ongoing spell battle on Blue Planet.
Now that she had attained the Dao and become a Saint, the timelines of her past, present, and future naturally had to converge upon Cihang Daoist.
At present, Blue Planet was still engaged in a spell battle along Guanyin's trajectory.
There was a chance of failure there, but also a chance of success. It would not do for Cihang Daoist to affect it like this.
Actually.
If Guanyin Bodhisattva had attained the Dao within Buddhism, she would have received an honorific title as well.
It was precisely the Perfect Freedom Buddha Fruit.
To ensure that Cihang's attainment of the Dao would not affect the Journey to the West Calamity.
Amitabha Buddha decided to pay a small price.
"Buddha is Dao, is it?"
"Then turn all of my Buddha Fruit into your Dao Fruit."
"Compassionately save the world, with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes—Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Greatly Compassionate, Greatly Merciful, Savior of Suffering and Hardship, Vastly Responsive; Proper Dharma Bright Tathagata; Perfect Freedom Buddha; Holy Savior Buddha-Mother."
Amitabha Buddha pressed his palms together.
He stripped away all of Buddhism's teachings concerning Guanyin's lineage.
Hmm.
The members of the Primordial World had just been celebrating Cihang's attainment of the Dao as a Heavenly Venerate, using Willow Branches to scatter Three Lights Divine Water, when they suddenly discovered Salvation Vow Power appearing around her.
Ordinary cultivators did not understand this
