In the far north, in the vast ocean of the North Sea.

This is the North Sea Eye, which has gradually evolved into a unique paradise as the world has ascended to higher dimensions.

However, it is different from the desolate scene that most people imagine.

As the North Sea Eye disappeared, large areas of islands and land gradually formed in this region.

Although still shrouded in the icy storms of the North Sea, the creatures living there have long since become accustomed to it.

The "Power of Evolution" born after Great Unity Dao Proving is very evident in these races that live in harsh environments year after year. In order to adapt to the extremely harsh environment of the North Sea, the creatures here have evolved a special ecology that is very different from ordinary creatures.

The Dove People were the most evolved and the only intelligent race among them.

Unlike those creatures that evolved thick fur first.

Apart from the pair of wings on its back, the Dove People -man's entire body is covered in dense scales.

These scales interlock, forming a tight, airtight armor.

Combined with its special fat layer, similar to whale oil, it can effectively resist the cold on the outside and lock in body temperature on the inside.

Of course, for an ordinary organism, evolving such a structure would be suicidal.

Because once the scales are damaged, they cannot regenerate in a short period of time.

During the period when the newly formed scales covered the gaps, the Dove People were completely unable to withstand the extremely harsh environment of the North Sea, which was tantamount to "injury equals death." However, the Dove People were not only social animals, but also the only flying creatures in the North Sea besides the Kunpeng.

The nests of the Dove People are usually built on cliffs.

Even after they evolved intelligence, this aspect didn't change much.

So even if they are unfortunately injured, the Dove People can hide in their nest and wait for their injuries to heal.

More importantly, like all creatures living in extremely cold regions, the Dove People possess a very special ability to hibernate.

Through the combined operation of the body's respiration sacs and circulatory system.

The Dove People can hold its breath for extended periods, slowing down its metabolism, allowing itself to freeze completely for several days without dying.

In this state, the entire body of the Dove People will fall into a state of suspended animation, except for the scales on its body, which will grow back naturally.

Once it recovers from its suspended animation, its scales will naturally grow back.

"I don't care whether you come from the past or the future, the Dove People are my kin."

Without a sound, the figure of Rain Master Shang Yang appeared in the storm and looked down at the cross-legged Dove People below.

Even amidst the raging storm, the Dove People remained seated cross-legged atop the mountain, his body as stable as a rock.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

With a soft chant of a Buddhist prayer, the Dove People slowly opened his eyes.

Behind him, a dazzling golden light transformed into the number "2" and rose into the air, dispelling the storm brought by the descent of the Shang Yang in a matter of moments.

Everything has a cause and effect, and all living beings have myriad forms.

"This Dove People is my previous incarnation, and should still be a follower of the ' Jade Pivot Five Thunder Court '."

With his eyes slightly narrowed and a look of displeasure on his face, Shang Yang scoffed.

"I knew it was you bunch of crazy people from the future again..."

"Since you claim this Dove People is your past life, why mention the ' Jade Pivot Five Thunder Court '?"

Before the Dove People could refute him, Shang Yang continued.

"In your future, I might be the supreme deity of the Thunder Department, in charge of all thunder and lightning, responsible for summoning clouds and rain, and vanquishing Orthodox God." "But for me, that's merely one of countless possibilities."

"For you to appear before me in this capacity and address me with such a title is, in my opinion, already a form of provocation." Upon hearing this, the Dove People fell silent for a moment.

He never expected that this legendary, upright and incorruptible rain god would be such a troublesome fellow.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk truly had no intention of provoking you."

"This body is the manifestation of my past self; my descent is in response to its call..."

"In other words, my arrival is both his wish and a way for me to practice the Dao Path."

On this point, the Dove People was not lying.

He made a grand vow for the future to save all sentient beings, and his actions followed the truth of cause and effect.

"Hmph, everything has desires..."

"You invite me with desire; that's hardly a respectable act."

In my opinion, your so-called appeal is nothing more than "demanding repayment for a favor."

"To forcibly prolong one's life at the cost of becoming your incarnation—this shouldn't be in line with what you seek, should it?"

Shang Yang stared calmly at the Dove People below, completely unfazed by their deception.

"What I seek is the path of all beings; whatever beings seek, I will respond to."

"Because you have a prejudice against me, you see everything as 'blind'..."

"In fact, he would have died if it weren't for me, and to me, that would be 'saving all living beings.'"

"I don't possess any overwhelming power; my 'salvation of all living beings' has always begun with what I can do."

Shang Yang's lips twitched slightly; this was the first time he had ever seen such an almost shameless statement.

However, it must be admitted that the other party's statement is indeed true.

Put yourself in their shoes: if simply becoming the embodiment of a powerful being could grant your wish, most people probably wouldn't be able to refuse. After all, an embodiment is different from a true incarnation; it's merely a separate being created in response to a wish.

At this moment, the Dove People is both the Dove People and the "Buddha" from the future.

The relationship between the two is not one of "either/or" assimilation, but rather more like a collection where each contains elements of the other.

"Your Divine Ability is quite rare."

"Compared to the Buddha I've encountered before, your approach is far superior."

For Shang Yang, who came from the previous era, there are very few secrets in this world that he is unaware of.

The gale is his will, the torrential rain is his eyes...

Shang Yang had seen many Buddha, whether they were the rulers of the Buddha-lands in the Heavenly Realm or Dao Proving One had descended from the future to this era.

However, regardless of the type of Buddha, there are obvious differences between this "Buddha" and the one before us.

This difference is not only reflected in his grand ambitions and Divine Ability, but also in the beliefs he holds.

Even Shang Yang couldn't deny that the current "Buddha" did indeed have the idea of saving all sentient beings; the only difference was the way he practiced it.

For some reason, Shang Yang suddenly thought of Amitabha Buddha, who voluntarily gave up the Buddhist realm and went to the Netherworld to be reborn. He was the first Buddha to leave the Six Desire Heavens and the first Buddha to voluntarily enter the cycle of reincarnation.

After that, Xu Jia, who was reincarnated from Chi Suo, also stirred up a bloody storm.

It wasn't until he was enlightened by the Dao Ancestor and followed him as a "servant" for many years that he gradually disappeared from public view.

What's your name? Who will your teacher be?

Sensing a softening in Shang Yang's tone, the Dove People replied in a deep voice.

"This humble monk, Maudgalyayana, is Arhat under Amitabha Buddha, renowned for his Divine Ability."
