As Lin Ruoshui watched the Unborn Venerable Mother smiling and chatting, she felt that calling her the Ancient First Evil God hardly did her justice.
She was the foremost evil god of the Mortal Realm, too.
Lin Ruoshui understood every word the Unborn Venerable Mother said, but put together, they nearly made her brain stop working.
"Mother, wouldn't doing things your way throw the whole world into chaos?"
The Unborn Venerable Mother's smile grew even brighter. "No. I tried it in the Primordial Era. Only the world's living beings fell into chaos, not the world itself."
Lin Ruoshui lowered her head without a word, inwardly lamenting that Shakyamuni Buddha had been far too lenient. How could he not have killed this scourge?
"Are you wondering why Shakyamuni didn't kill me back then, with me doing things like this?" the Unborn Venerable Mother asked with a chuckle.
Lin Ruoshui's heart chilled, and she immediately said, "I wouldn't dare."
The Unborn Venerable Mother paid it no mind. "It's fine. Plenty of people in the world think the same as you. In truth, Shakyamuni very much wanted to rid the people of this scourge, too. Unfortunately, sealing me was his limit. He couldn't kill me at all. I'm not a useless Dao Lord like Maitreya."
By the end, the Unborn Venerable Mother was brimming with smug satisfaction.
Lin Ruoshui felt that the ancient Dao Lords had truly had a hard time.
Clearly, they had already suffered at the Unborn Venerable Mother's hands during the Primordial Era.
"Mother, you didn't make Shakyamuni and Maitreya swap bodies, did you?"
The Unborn Venerable Mother burst out laughing, seemingly reminded of something delightful.
Then she put on a serious expression. "I promised Shakyamuni and Maitreya I would never tell anyone about this, so I won't admit it."
