Gestation Complete, Buddha Lord Descends!

Inside the palace of the Gold Soul Clan Sacred Land, the Qi Tian Statue atop the altar radiated a dazzling golden light, with gold gradually coating the Stone body as if it were being plated in precious metal.

"Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

Following the sound of bone joints shifting, Qi Tian finally moved for the first time since transmigrating decades ago.

"I can move, I can finally move."

Qi Tian's heart surged with emotion as he controlled his ten-meter-tall, fully gilded body, rising from his cross-legged position to a standing one.

Jin Shi and the others heard the sound of Qi Tian moving and immediately looked up at the ten-meter giant before them.

"Greetings, Buddha Lord!"

"Greetings, Buddha Lord!"

"Greetings, Buddha Lord!"

Seeing the Buddha Lord Qi Tian standing before them, the fanatical devotion in the hearts of Jin Shi and his companions reached a pinnacle, and they spoke in unison to pay their respects.

With the emergence of the golden Life Crystal Core, a ten-thousand-mile-tall phantom of the Lotus Throne Golden Body appeared above the planet, emitting a faint golden light that permeated the entire world.

"How warm!"

"Is this the power of the Buddha Lord?"

The living beings on the planet felt the golden light washing over them; in that instant, their minds became clear, and all physical fatigue and discomfort vanished.

Even the most ferocious beasts revealed a rare softness in their eyes, their intelligence growing slightly as the violent emotions in their minds calmed significantly.

Compared to the massive planet, the ten-thousand-mile-tall phantom of Qi Tian was not particularly large, yet every living creature in every corner of the world could see this colossal figure, as if it were imprinted directly into their minds.

As the golden light on Qi Tian's body slowly receded, it transformed into a loose, golden kasaya covering his shoulders, fully revealing his overall appearance.

Exposed was skin of the same golden hue, along with the same spiral-shaped hairstyle, and his sturdy golden frame seemed to contain infinite power.

Feeling the immense power within his formidable body, Qi Tian was struck by the illusion of invincibility, as if he could shatter the entire planet with a single punch.

This was a psychological side effect caused by the body suddenly accepting power far beyond his comprehension, but as Qi Tian's consciousness also underwent an upgrade, that illusion of invincibility instantly faded away.

At the same time, a piece of information transmitted into his sea of consciousness: a talent technique inherent to his Life Crystal Core—Universal Sanskrit Sound.

This talent allowed Qi Tian to passively radiate a Sanskrit sound that reached the soul, fostering goodwill and subtly influencing how others perceived him.

If he actively channeled the talent, the power of the Sanskrit sound would increase significantly, causing those with a weaker will than Qi Tian to develop the conviction that he was the "World-Honored Buddha Lord."

This talent technique was not necessarily strong in a direct sense, as it could not directly enslave living beings; it could only lead others to believe, worship, and submit.

As the thoughts of faith grew stronger, obedience toward Qi Tian would also intensify, until the level of faith reached "Buddha Lord (Qi Tian) Supreme," a process that required time.

However, this talent technique possessed a terrifying aspect: while it began as a suggestion to the soul, it acted as a "shackle" upon the level of the will.

"Hm? What is this?"

Just after descending into the world and while still sensing his own changes, Qi Tian noticed a golden bead bracelet floating before him; judging by its size, it was meant to be worn on the wrist.

He reached out his right hand, and the bracelet, forged from Sealing Star, drifted into his palm. The moment his consciousness made contact, information flooded into his mind.

Simultaneously, a terrifying aura of slaughter emanated from the bracelet, but constrained by secret patterns, that pressure acted upon Qi Tian alone.

In Qi Tian's mind, a figure sat upon a blood-colored throne, clad in blood-red battle armor, with a pair of golden curved horns on their head and wearing a mask.

The endless aura of slaughter radiating from the figure made Qi Tian tremble; that tangible pressure was vast, unfathomable, and seemed like the greatest existence in the world.

Zuoshanke's intention in doing this was to demonstrate the power of the Blood Cloud Palace Master to Qi Tian, leaving the impression of a powerful being who had bestowed a great opportunity upon him.

"This Seat is the Blood Cloud Palace Master, and I bestow upon you this treasure to guard your soul."

After the Blood Cloud Palace Master finished speaking, the terrifying pressure dissipated, leaving behind a coordinate and an image in Qi Tian's mind.

The image contained thousands of peculiar life forms, each emitting varying levels of power, but even the weakest among them possessed an aura so terrifying that Qi Tian felt he would be crushed by it.

"Blood Cloud Palace Master?"

Hearing the name Blood Cloud Palace Master, memories flashed through Qi Tian's mind, and he felt as though he had seen or heard that name somewhere before.

As he pondered, he recalled the formation of the galaxy within his Life Crystal Core when his physical body was gestating, the subsequent increase in his strength, and combined with the name "Blood Cloud Palace Master," he seemed to recall a novel he had read in his past life.

"Is this the Swallowed Star world? Or Stellar Transformations? Or perhaps some other world?"

Qi Tian was uncertain of his hypothesis; he had read plenty of webnovels about transmigrating into anime or novel worlds, but those were hobbies from his youth.

Now, those memories were blurred, leaving him with only a faint recollection of the galaxy-evolution cultivation system.

He turned his consciousness back to the Life Crystal Core in his sea of consciousness; he was shocked to find that his sea of consciousness had undergone a massive transformation.

The sea of consciousness, which had originally been filled with golden mist, was now divided into two halves: one side remained filled with golden mist, while the other was a dark, blood-red expanse.

The two sides were clearly demarcated, and his Life Crystal Core sat at the boundary between them, along with the Lotus Throne Buddha Statue.

The Lotus Throne Golden Body statue, which should have been entirely golden, was now also divided into two colors.

The left side, located within the golden mist, remained entirely golden, radiating ripples of the Universal Sanskrit Sound that made one's consciousness feel as if it were basking under the sun, feeling a trace of warmth.

The right half, immersed in dark red mist, had turned a crimson-black hue; a single glance made Qi Tian feel as if he were plunged into an endless sea of slaughter, his entire body turning ice-cold.

At the same time, Qi Tian discovered that in the consciousness space occupied by the golden mist, the golden liquid that had been completely exhausted was beginning to liquefy into a small pool once more due to his arrival in this world.

Meanwhile, in the other half of his consciousness space, which had mutated into a blood-red, mist-like state, a new and different Sanskrit Phantom had appeared.

Unlike the previous Sanskrit character, which was covered in golden radiance and emitted a Universal Sanskrit Sound, this new character was blood-red and radiated darkness, slaughter, and destruction.

Is it the character for "Demon"?

Unlike before his arrival, when he had been completely ignorant of these marvelous Sanskrit characters, the newborn him now understood the meaning directly transmitted into his mind, even though he still could not read the character itself.

He also recalled the meaning of the golden Sanskrit character he had seen earlier: it was the character for "Buddha."
