With the appearance of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon, the evolution of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures came to a standstill.

The crude humanoid figures resembled demons and monsters, while the four half-bodied deities roared to the sky, and the wooden dragons danced almost frantically.

However, before the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures could even launch an attack, the crowd, having already reacted, had already begun their assault. Without the slightest hesitation, Li Xi was the first to throw out the Five-Colored Stone.

Whoosh!

In terms of scale and intensity, these Five-Colored Stone might not be as impressive as the previous salvo of railguns.

However, the Five-Colored Stone, as the artifact for the future enlightenment of the Holy Mother Empress Wa, naturally possesses the power to change in countless ways and create the universe.

It contains inexhaustible primordial Yuan Qi within, and manifests the Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams without.

A mere ability to become ethereal is simply not enough to withstand the impact of the Five-Colored Stone.

In an instant, the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures was subjected to a dimensional reduction attack by the Five-Colored Stone, and was forced to manifest its physical form once again.

Almost the instant it manifested its material form, another railgun shot out rapidly from [Mystic Garden Gate].

Boom!

Although it was only a single railgun shot, instead of the previous salvo.

The Wrathful Wisdom King was directly hit by the railgun, still let out a roar, and even the expression on his face seemed to distort slightly. However, the Taiyi Orbital Cannon would not stop because of the Wrathful Wisdom King's roar.

"Continue charging!"

"Fire in three salvos, leaving no openings for attack!"

"Dipper Division, move out! Your mission is not to attack the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, but to seize its fruits!"

With a cold gaze fixed on the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures at the other end of the [Mystic Garden Gate], Li Jingshu gave an order, once again handing over command of the frontline battle to Lu Huaijin.

"No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

"Immediately piloting the Heaven-Escaping Boat forward, Lu Huaijin, who had already changed into a different set of equipment, responded loudly."

Behind Lu Huaijin, the combatants who had participated in the battle earlier also replenished their supplies and then rushed madly towards the location of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures. This time, their mission was no longer to prevent the Great Xia from obtaining the fruits of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, so their actions were naturally much easier.

As for Lu Huaijin, the frontline commander?

After assigning tasks to her combat personnel, she rushed without hesitation towards the last bronze-colored fruit at the top of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures. Compared to the ordinary fruits, this last remaining Seven Treasures Fruit was destined to attract the covetous eyes of countless people.

In fact, Lu Huaijin's idea was not wrong at all.

Seeing the Hundred Lands Mountain Range reappear to vie for the fruit, the shamans and gods of Great Xia could not restrain themselves and risked joining the battle once more. For a moment, Li Xi, Fu Kui, and Jiugui, who were closest to the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, seemed somewhat slow to react.

"So... should we still team up?"

Li Xi glanced at Fu Kui with slight hesitation and asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Why not?"

With a helpless sigh, Fu Kui immediately expressed his opinion.

"This is not the beginning, and the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures is not something to be trifled with."

"Under these circumstances, if we don't unite and work together to defend against the enemy, we're simply courting death."

At this point, Fu Kui paused slightly, then looked at the two opposing camps of people and gods ahead and said, "As long as there are no sneak attacks or raids from behind, how much you gain in the end depends entirely on your own abilities."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Kui immediately set an example, manipulating the black curtain to quickly spread across the entire battlefield, concealing everyone. "It seems you still have some prestige in the Great Xia?"

It was noticed that the shamans and gods of the Great Xia had indeed become much more restrained.

Li Xi couldn't help but smile, and the Bagua Compass above his head began to spin rapidly again.

Buzz!

In an instant, the azure light that had previously cleared the area once again enveloped the entire field.

Any individual enveloped by this blue light possesses extremely strong defensive and self-healing attributes.

As long as one isn't so greedy as to lose all sense of reason, even if one is seriously injured by the wooden dragon or the Wisdom King Dharma Manifestation, one can still protect oneself and retreat to the rear. "Count me in too!" X9

Just then, the nine-headed serpent, who had been completely oblivious, finally came to its full senses.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Jiugui, having fully regained consciousness, let out a deafening roar.

Tumultuous!

It is clearly a golden lotus symbolizing Merit.

However, Jiugui fully demonstrated her extremely aggressive side.

Bathed in the golden light of Merit, both the Mountain Folk and the great shamans stared wide-eyed, as if endless memories and inspirations were surging from their minds and then being unleashed as magical Divine Ability.

Those are all manifestations of wisdom from past lives, and represent the power of the "Heaven Soul" within the Three Souls System.

The Heaven Soul records the trajectory and cause and effect of all living beings in this world; it is a power that cannot be destroyed even by death.

After receiving the blessing of wisdom from past lives, even the most ignorant mortal can possess extraordinary wisdom, let alone Mountain Folk and great shamans, who are not ordinary mortals.

Most importantly, as people awaken to their past life wisdom, the conflict within the Sea of Alaya Consciousness is quickly affected.

The surface of the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, the boundary between individual will and collective will.

[What's this?]

Looking at the faint ripples appearing around him, the Buddha, who didn't have a strong sense of personality to begin with, fell into confusion.

Each ripple signifies a suddenly appearing individual, a desire without origin.

These desires appear abruptly and disappear just as quickly.

But this Udumbara Flower ripple caused the Buddha's consciousness to begin collapsing uncontrollably.

For the first time, the Buddha, who had always acted according to Mahākāśyapa's obsession, felt a confusion and bewilderment that belonged only to "himself".

Everything seemed to start Great Unity from the moment the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon appeared.

"A tree without roots, water without a source—that perfectly describes you right now."

The voice of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon remained powerful, but a faint sense of compassion was revealed in his words.

"What do you take all living beings for? Puppets to be manipulated at your will?"

"You reshape yourself with the desires of all beings, and pollute the entire Sea of Alaya Consciousness with your own will."

"But can you truly bear the karmic consequences for all living beings?"

"Past lives, present lives, future lives, and wisdom from past lives—the number of sentient beings is far greater than what you see."

In a daze, when the Buddha looked at the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon again, he seemed to see an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a Daoist robe.

"Buddha... has never been like you."

"The subconscious sea of all beings... has never been a tool for Mahākāśyapa to realize his long-cherished wish."

As they spoke, the old man in the Buddha's eyes changed his appearance once again.

It was a face that made it impossible to tell whether someone was male or female, young or old, or whether they were beautiful or ugly.

However, the pond also possesses extremely obvious thirty-two marks and eighty minor marks of a Buddha, resembling the image of a sentient being after achieving perfect merit.

A fleshy protuberance on the top of the head, a white hair between the eyebrows, eyes like blue lotuses, a golden body, hands that extend past the knees, and a thousand-spoked wheel on the soles of the feet...

[This is... the true Buddha?]

The moment such a thought flashed through his mind, the image of the Buddha suddenly collapsed.

Unable to bear the desires of all living beings any longer, Chi entered a demonic state.

Endless desires stained the Buddha's body black, and uncontrollable arms grew out of the pool.

Like a chaotic dance of demons, the Buddha revealed its true nature—a Great Kalpa entity born from the chaotic causes and effects of all sentient beings!
