Not only Golden Spirit Mother and the Jade Emperor thought this way, but even Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun, upon receiving the news, had the same initial reaction.

However, when they aggressively sought out Biyou Palace, Journey to the West Tongtian was completely bewildered.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"What do you mean I've allied with the Two Saints of the West?"

"Are they even worthy?"

"If you let them stand before me, do you believe I wouldn't tear them apart?"

"Heh... acting, keep acting!"

Yuanshi Tianzun stared grimly at Tongtian, "Junior Brother, do you care to explain why you left Biyou Palace some time ago?"

"Exactly!"

Taishang Laojun was also somewhat angered, looking at Tongtian with a pained expression, "Junior Brother, we Three Pure Ones are one family. What kind of act is it to ally with outsiders against our own brothers?"

"???"

Looking at the serious Taishang Laojun, Sect Leader Tongtian laughed in exasperation, "Eldest Senior Brother, you realize they are our brothers now? When you allied with Jieyin and Zhunti to scheme against me, did you not think of this?"

"Alas~!"

Taishang Laojun seemed to have expected him to say this, sighing lightly and shaking his head, "Junior Brother, the destruction of the Jiejiao Sect was the will of heaven. Even if Senior Brothers hadn't intervened, nothing would have changed."

"Is that so?"

Tongtian also calmed down, smiling noncommittally, "Eldest Senior Brother, since you said the will of heaven cannot be defied, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you don't trust the will of heaven?"

"Uh..."

Taishang Laojun's expression faltered. He clearly hadn't expected Tongtian to become so eloquent and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Eldest Senior Brother, why waste words with him?!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was also losing his composure and directly summoned the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, "Junior Brother, since you acted unjustly first, do not blame your Senior Brothers for acting unrighteously."

"Oh? Heh heh!"

Sect Leader Tongtian couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. While summoning the Four Immortal Slaying Swords for defense, he mockingly quipped with a cold smile:

"Second Senior Brother, it seems you've improved quite a bit over the years? If that's the case, then let's have a go in the chaos!"

"Second Junior Brother, be cautious, be cautious!"

Taishang Laojun, who had already brought out the Taiji Diagram, seeing Tongtian's eagerness, quickly stopped Yuanshi Tianzun, who was about to agree.

"Second Junior Brother, calm down, be wary of a trap!"

Meeting Yuanshi Tianzun's confused gaze, Taishang Laojun first sent him a telepathic message to placate him, then turned to look at Tongtian.

"Junior Brother, give your Senior Brother a definite answer, how far do you intend to go?"

"How far what!"

Sect Leader Tongtian's eyes flickered slightly. He thought they had discovered the Tongtian outside and was about to find an excuse to stall when he heard Taishang Laojun, half threatening, half persuading:

"Junior Brother, the Heavenly Court represents our Master's reputation. If you truly overturn the Heavenly Court, how will you explain it to Master?"

"Haven't you been confined long enough?"

"Stop now!"

"As long as you stop, your Second Senior Brother and I will plead with Master to end your confinement early."

"What do you think?"

"Hmm??"

Listening to Taishang Laojun's seemingly sincere counsel, Sect Leader Tongtian blinked, a hint of confusion welling up in his heart.

Overturn the Heavenly Court?

What did that mean?

Could it be Dao Brother's plan?

But wasn't our plan to first create a Saint in the Great World after crushing that so-called scripture pilgrim?

Why are we going after the Heavenly Court first?

Of course!

Despite the confusion in his heart, Sect Leader Tongtian showed no outward reaction. Instead, he feigned bewilderment and looked at Taishang Laojun.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word."

"You?!!"

Taishang Laojun's patience finally ran out. He looked coldly at the pretending-to-be-ignorant Sect Leader Tongtian, "Tongtian, I gave you a chance. Since you don't want it, then we can only settle this through combat!"

Saying that, without giving Sect Leader Tongtian a chance to react, Taishang Laojun pulled the utterly confused Yuanshi Tianzun and walked away.

"Hey? Hey?"

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was about to make a move, was dumbfounded. What was going on? Didn't you say we were going to settle this through combat? Why are you running away?

"What do you know!"

Taishang Laojun, who had come outside, glared at Yuanshi Tianzun unhappily. "Don't you see that scoundrel looks so confident? Perhaps Jieyin and Zhunti, those two traitors, are waiting outside!"

"Why should we fear them!"

Yuanshi Tianzun shrunk his neck. Although he felt a little guilty, he spoke stubbornly, "After so many years of hard cultivation, we are not necessarily worse than Tongtian. Moreover, he might not have recovered from his previous injuries..."

"Then you go try?"

Taishang Laojun stopped and pointed behind him. "You lure him away first, and I'll follow behind to provide support. If Jieyin and Zhunti dare to come, I absolutely won't let them disturb you. How about that?"

"..."

Yuanshi Tianzun fell silent.

What a joke!

Him going one-on-one with Tongtian?

If that guy doesn't pierce thousands of holes in him, he'd be letting himself down for the grievances he suffered when he was ganged up on back then.

Seeing this, Taishang Laojun snorted coldly. He ignored the dejected Yuanshi Tianzun and flashed into the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Court.

Just as the two largest forces in the Primordial World, Buddhism and the Heavenly Court, were on the verge of conflict.

On the other side, Xuanming, who had dealt with Guanyin and Tang Sanzang, was receiving rewards from the system under the protection of Sect Leader Tongtian.

"Ding~!"

"Congratulations to the host for preventing the Journey to the West ahead of time and activating the series of quests: [The Demise of Buddhism]."

"Quest Difficulty Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆"

"Quest rewards are being upgraded..."

"Upon successful completion of the [The Demise of Buddhism] series of quests, you will be rewarded with: 1x Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fruit Position, 2x Primordial Violet Qi, 1x Chaos Supreme Treasure, 5x Innate Supreme Treasure..."

"Side Quest: Journey to the West (Completed)"

"Rewards are being distributed..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 1x Primordial Violet Qi, 2x Innate Supreme Treasure Enhancement Stone!"

"..."

Following a series of ding-ding-dang sounds, a brilliant seven-colored light descended from the sky, landing directly in front of Xuanming.

"This is?!"

Sect Leader Tongtian, who was curious about how Xuanming would receive his rewards, suddenly became restless.

What's going on?

Why would this world be distributing rewards to Xuanming?

This is impossible!

Putting aside the fact that Xuanming came here to cause trouble, isn't the great prosperity of Buddhism destined by the Heavenly Dao?

Why would the Heavenly Dao reward Xuanming for disrupting the plan for Buddhism's great prosperity?

Could it be...

Thinking of the results of their previous analysis, Tongtian had a moment of realization, but more than that, he found it hard to accept.

Were they truly wrong?
