"With your standing, you should understand your duty upon returning, and the true nature of this battle. You sinners have already erred once. Must you persist in your errors? All who can appear here are children of Pangu. Why help a tyrant commit atrocities and forget your ancestors while reciting their histories? If so, what Great Dao are you even cultivating?"
Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha's compassionate sigh, like a pronouncement of heavenly truth, plunged everyone into silence. They could not refute him, for they did indeed know the purpose of their descent.
"I declare that unless you change your tune, abandon darkness, and turn toward the light, after this battle you will forever be barred from the emperor realm. Your karma will remain unresolved, and your heart demons insurmountable!"
While everyone pondered in silence, Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha spoke solemnly. His words rang like morning bells and evening drums, like a great vow of the Buddhist School, shaking their souls to the core.
"Hmph! Alarmist nonsense! A fickle traitor who changes his loyalties from morning to evening dares speak of karma and heart demons?"
Khufu, Pharaoh King, who had manifested a colossal face a hundred zhang across, snorted disdainfully and rebuked him.
"Amitabha! Khufu, Pharaoh King, is one restored to life. He has not entered the Great Dao and does not understand heavenly destiny. How could he know the workings of karma or the trials of heart demons? I declare before everyone that unless you repent, you can forget attaining the fruit of the Dao. In a few years, you will still be reduced to scattered ashes. By then, the Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother will have perished, and you will have no chance of resurrection whatsoever."
Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha's expression did not change, nor did his tone shift
