The Heavenly Palace's Discussion

"This is the first time I've encountered something like this in three Samsara!"

Within the Jiangnan region, a beam of Buddha's light shot into the sky, its immense commotion illuminating almost the entire Jiangnan sky.

All parties who witnessed this scene were shocked.

Some ancient forces, in particular, witnessed all of this in secret and, after being shocked, began to gloat.

"I really didn't expect that."

The Heavenly Court was naturally the first to notice this strange phenomenon. Although the Heavenly Court was far away, it had the divine artifact, the Heavenly Mirror, which could look down on the world. If it used its energy, it could even see every detail of you from the sky.

Not to mention such a grand anomaly, the Heavenly Court, which oversees all the constellations, naturally noticed it immediately.

Upon witnessing this scene, countless divine generals couldn't help but communicate with each other using their divine senses.

All factions knew that to fight against the Buddha Kingdom, they had to clean up Buddhist temples and suppress Buddhism as soon as possible. And all factions did just that in the later stages. Whenever they gained some territory, the first thing they ordered their subordinates to do was to suppress Buddhism.

Therefore, the power struggle in the second version was originally very important. Only with sufficient military strength could one clear out a pure land without Buddhist temples and lay a certain foundation for one's own power. However, it was difficult to eliminate the Buddha Kingdom's power in one go.

The reason is simple: insufficient troops!

When a Buddhist temple is opened, the guardian deities will also awaken. To destroy a Buddhist temple, one must pay a certain price. In addition, the Divine Martial Guild always plans well in the early stages, and there are very few human forces that can carry out large-scale destruction of Buddhism.

In the history of the three eras, there were two forces capable of destroying Buddhism in one fell swoop: one was King Xiang, whose power was at its peak, and the other was the Ancient Demon Clan at its most powerful. Both forces were uncontrollable, which led to several ancient forces joining forces to extinguish their existence.

Is a third force capable of destroying Buddhism about to emerge?

"Theoretically, it should be impossible." Inside the Heavenly Court Palace, a chaotic discussion broke out among the divine generals.

"When Buddhist temples open, it's always a time of infighting among all factions. No low-level ancient power has the military strength to do such a thing. Under normal circumstances, they can only wait for the Buddha Kingdom to slowly erode them, either surrendering or waiting to die."

In the first two eras, there were powerful demonic forces, such as the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf Clan, which once defied the Buddha Kingdom, but is now almost extinct.

The reason for this is that the struggles in the world are too cruel. After the Spiritual Energy Revival, all kinds of demons rose up, and countless ancient forces also wanted to survive. They fought and guarded against each other. If they were willing to unite with each other, the Buddha Kingdom would not have been able to continue to this day.

But the truth is, it has never been done.

Individual forces have limited military strength and dare not easily carry out large-scale suppression of Buddhism; multiple forces are also wary of each other, and as a result, they all missed the best opportunity.

Over countless years, the Second Tier was the most intense, when rising new and old forces would fight each other to the death. The war was so brutal that now, of the hundreds of ancient forces that once existed, only the Dragon Palace, the Yin-Yang Road, and the Heavenly Python Palace remain.

When one is struggling to protect oneself, who wouldn't cherish their own military strength?

With spiritual energy recovering ahead of schedule and Magic City yet to fully materialize, this is practically a tailor-made stage for the Buddha Kingdom. The Heavenly Court was even secretly planning to unite with the Demon Domain to counter the Buddha Kingdom. But before this even began, a force in the mortal realm had already directly attacked the Buddha Kingdom?

"Jiangnan?"

"Old Yang, you've been sleeping too long. You've missed out on a lot of good things. This year's new forces are something else."

"How special can it be? Aren't they all dishes that are served later?"

"That was before." A booming voice laughed, "The new forces that have emerged this year are all ruthless. One almost prevented us from awakening, and another is even more ruthless than King Xiang, openly challenging all the ancient forces."

"Openly defying us? What arrogance! Which new race are you?"

"Human race."

"Humans?"

"Is it the force that's currently carrying out a large-scale persecution of Buddhism?" another unsuspecting deity asked.

"No." With his companion's explanation, the newly awakened generals roughly understood the current situation.

As they were talking, a gentle voice, as warm as the rising sun, appeared. Although the voice was gentle, it immediately silenced all the noise in the Heavenly Palace.

"Such a thing is true?"

As soon as the sound rang out, the previously noisy Heavenly Palace immediately fell silent.

Even a god general who has been asleep for millions of years would never forget this voice; it was the voice of the Heavenly Court's number one god general: the Three-Eyed Divine General!

"The Victorious Fighting Buddha was defeated by a human?" The voice held a hint of surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true, Your Majesty!" the divine general who had just recounted everything about the mortal realm hurriedly replied, "That battle could determine the fate of the mortal world, so the Heavenly Emperor ordered me to activate the Heavenly Mirror to carefully observe that battle. Although that madman from the Buddhist School was still in a sealed state and could only unleash the power of King Level, that human emperor was indeed evenly matched with that madman!"

"Oh?"

The Three-Eyed Divine General immediately became interested. Although the Heavenly Mirror was useful, it consumed a lot of energy. The Heavenly Palace had just awakened, and energy was extremely precious. Logically speaking, the Heavenly Emperor would not use it unless it was a major event. It seemed that the guy had really suffered a setback in the mortal world.

How interesting! I never expected this era to be so fascinating. How could such a figure emerge from the native inhabitants of the human realm?

And what about that King of Qin, a descendant of the Ancient Demon Clan, right?

It actually devoured the transmigrator, almost sealed away the ancient past, and the Ancient Demon Clan has fully revived and made a comeback.

In addition, there's this Jiangnan Chen Qing, Divine Path Style...

That's interesting! Absolutely interesting!

The Three-Eyed Divine General's voice remained gentle, but everyone could tell that their number one general was getting excited.

However, as a battle maniac and once the number one player, his excitement was understandable. Since the second era, the major powers had lost much of their antagonism, merely testing each other's strengths before dividing up their territories and waiting for the next Samsara.

The older generation, the more resources they control, the less willing they are to take risks. The major established powers maintain a tacit balance of power while ruthlessly suppressing any emerging forces.

New forces are often brutally suppressed before they can even grow, and such a life is utterly meaningless to someone like him who loves excitement.

It seems this era is going to be much more interesting!

"My lord, the Daoist School is secretly assisting in the persecution of Buddhism in Jiangnan. Should we intervene?"

"Yes, sir. That Daoist School is strange. Elder Long has always warned us to be wary of it. Although the Buddha Kingdom and we have many rivalries, we are ultimately of the same ilk. If we are severely weakened by Jiangnan, it will be difficult for us to suppress the Demon Domain alone."

"No need to rush," the Three-Eyed Divine General said calmly. "The Buddha Kingdom isn't as easy to deal with as you think. If it could be so easily eradicated, it wouldn't have dominated the human world for three eras."

"Jiangnan is indeed interesting, but it's still far from being able to eradicate Buddhism!"
