In the West, at Buddhism's Spiritual Mountain. Zhen Yuanzi sat beneath the Seven-Leaf Bodhi Tree, his divine sense also watching the changes unfolding across the network.
His brows furrowed slightly as he said to Golden Cicada beside him, "Although His Majesty Yin Hong's method avoids armed conflict to the greatest extent possible, it also makes the situation even more complicated."
"Dragons and snakes mingle together, and ambitious people are emerging one after another. Although our Buddhism does not contend for the position of Human Emperor, we must still make preparations early. Perhaps we can support one or two candidates who favor the path of good, lest the future Human Emperor be manipulated by treacherous sycophants, to the detriment of all living beings."
"At the same time, those two have just been unsealed. They certainly will not miss this excellent opportunity."
"We must also prepare early and compile doctrines based on the teachings of our Buddhism, lest those two seize the initiative and make it disadvantageous for your Master's revenge in the future."
A sharp glint flashed through Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. "At the same time, this is also an opportunity. We can take advantage of this change of Human Emperor."
"First, let our Buddhist teachings clash with the teachings of the Western Teachings, making preparations for the war to come."
Golden Cicada pressed his palms together and bowed. "Martial Uncle is absolutely right. Our Buddhist teachings are compassionate and seek to save all beings. If we can guide the Human Emperor toward goodness, that too will be boundless Merit."
"This disciple is willing to personally descend into the Mortal Realms, proclaim the teachings of our Buddhism, strike at the hypocritical doctrines of the Western Teachings, and guide all living beings toward goodness."
