Sick, Breaking the Deadlock with the System

Xu Cheng'an stood on the cloud, his gaze fixed on the people on the ground.

They all looked devout, taking one step and bowing one step at a time, slowly making their way towards the Buddhist temple on the distant mountain peak.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a spectacle, from the Eastern Desolation to the Western Region, which inexplicably reminded him of the former Divine Kingdom of the Eastern Desolation.

He had previously seen descriptions and videos about the Divine Kingdom on TikTok and forums.

Comparing it to the scene before me, it is not exactly the same, but it is at least 70-80% similar.

Both are countries ruled by religion; the Divine Kingdom worships the God of Light, while this place worships Buddha.

He quietly released his Divine Sense to examine the souls of the people one by one, and the result was unexpected.

The group remained calm and showed no signs of being misled.

He frowned involuntarily. If she had been bewitched, he could easily intervene to rescue her.

But their completely normal state made it impossible for him to know where to start.

The people of the Eastern Desolation Divine Kingdom fled because their God of Light was defeated by a mysterious figure.

Only after the Fairness System was popularized did Zhu Pengcheng have the opportunity to establish the Great Ming Fortune Dynasty.

The Western Region were different. As far as he knew, although there were both righteous and demonic sects there, Buddhist and Daoist sects were the mainstream.

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng'an felt a sudden chill in his heart.

If most of the Western Region were in this state, then the people of this entire region would be ill, and seriously ill at that.

Unfortunately, he lacked the power to defeat the God of Light, as described by the mysterious figure, and he also lacked the ability to defeat so many Buddhist and Daoist sects.

However, they can spread Fairness System themselves.

As long as these people are connected to the system, the diverse viewpoints that clash on the system's social platform can be leveraged.

With the addition of the vast amount of knowledge available in the System Store, there is a chance to change their mindset.

While it cannot be guaranteed that everyone will return to normal and abandon their faith, the vast majority of ordinary people, under the onslaught of massive amounts of knowledge, will become like system hosts.

Even if there are still differences, given time, they will eventually become normal people.

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng'an's lips curled into a slight smile. People naturally seek advantage and avoid harm. Once the people of the Western Region have gained experience of the outside world through the system,

Knowing that Fairness System can solve basic needs like food and clothing, and even enable one to cultivate oneself to become an immortal or a Buddha,

I don't believe they would still worship Buddha statues so devoutly, with no thought of becoming Buddhas in their hearts.

He looked up at the Buddhist temple atop the mountain; its magnificent golden halls, bathed in sunlight, shone brilliantly, exuding a sacred and majestic aura.

The temple was bustling with incense smoke, which almost completely blocked out the sky, showcasing the magnificent atmosphere of Buddhism.

A moment later, he withdrew his gaze, and with a flick of his body, flew swiftly in the direction the people had come from.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Cheng'an appeared outside a city.

A sweep of Divine Sense revealed that the people's living conditions were extremely poor, almost comparable to those of the Qing State under the rule of the Evil Soul Hall.

But the people here didn't seem anxious or uneasy; instead, they exuded a sense of peace.

His conversations revealed an extreme reverence for Buddhism, bordering on obsession.

He witnessed all of this, which deepened his frown; he had already made up his mind.

The people under the rule of Buddhist and Daoist sects are probably really sick, so sick that they are almost losing their human emotions and desires.

However, it must be said that the Buddhist and Daoist sects are indeed quite capable. They can make the people so devout without using any bewitching methods, which is truly remarkable.

But now that Fairness System is in place, this situation will likely never happen again.

I wonder what will become of them when the people no longer offer them alms?

He immediately released Thunder Beast from his Portable Daoist Sanctum, which sat up abruptly, its body crackling with lightning, exuding a sacred and majestic aura, and flew straight into the city.

The entire city looked up and saw Xu Cheng'an in the sky, their eyes filled with reverence. They all knelt down and shouted in unison:

"Greetings, Your Holiness! May Your Holiness attain immortality and live as long as the heavens!"

Seeing everyone kneel down, Xu Cheng'an frowned slightly, then said loudly:

"Please rise, everyone! I have System Seed here. Once bound to the Fairness System, you can eat your fill and even cultivate to become an immortal or a Buddha."

If you wish to attain Buddhahood, come and claim your System Seed immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, he landed directly in an open space in the city.

The people of the city were all stunned upon hearing this, exchanging bewildered glances before finally regaining their senses. Their faces were filled with disbelief, and they rose to their feet and began to discuss among themselves.

"The Buddha just said that binding to the Fairness System will ensure you have enough to eat and even allow you to cultivate to Buddhahood like him... Is that true? Did I hear that right?!"

"I heard that too! Can ordinary mortals like us become Buddhas? Isn't it said that one needs wisdom to become a Buddha?"

"I don't care whether I can become a Buddha or not, I just want to have a full meal. I haven't had a proper meal in ages."

"Yes! Regardless of whether I can become a Buddha, as long as I can eat my fill, then Fairness System is good."

"All you know is eating! This is a tremendous fortuitous opportunity attain Buddhahood, far surpassing mere sustenance!"

"Stop arguing, hurry up and claim the System Seed! If it really is fortuitous opportunity to attain Buddhahood, it'll be gone if you're too late."

"That's right! Let's go, let's go! The Buddha is so holy, he would never lie to us."

Xu Cheng'an kept a close eye on the people's movements with his Divine Sense. He saw that everyone's eyes lit up and their faces were full of longing after hearing that they could eat their fill and even become Buddhas after being bound to the system.

Upon seeing this, a smug smile crept onto his lips.

Even the most devout believer's first consideration is survival, and only then do they think about other things.

Now he uses the promise of food, clothing, and enlightenment to tempt them, successfully arousing the desires in everyone's hearts.

Once they are bound to the Fairness System, have seen the outside world, and realize that becoming a Buddha is not an illusion,

I doubt they can remain so devout, and that they won't develop the thought, "Buddha's throne rotates, this year it's my turn."

Seeing the crowd surging forward, he shouted, "Everyone line up! Don't push! There are plenty of System Seed; everyone gets one!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd dared not push and shove anymore. They quickly lined up in an orderly fashion and walked slowly toward him with expressions of awe.

Xu Cheng'an quickly distributed the System Seed.

Once someone received the System Seed, they immediately bound themselves to the Fairness System.

When they saw the system interface suddenly appear in their minds and learned about the system's wonders through the system navigation, they all exclaimed in astonishment.

"My God! This Fairness System is amazing! There's so much food in it, we'll be able to eat our fill and never go hungry again."

"That's wonderful! It really is possible to cultivate oneself to become a Buddha. The Buddha didn't lie to us."

"This TikTok is amazing! I can see so many Buddhas fighting, but so many Buddhas have also died!"

"Amitabha! How can these women on TikTok be so shameless, dressing so provocatively!"

"Wow! This Virtual World is amazing! It allows people to enter another realm. It's so beautiful there, like paradise."

"The System Store has Cultivation Method that can lead to Buddhahood, but unfortunately I don't have enough Energy Points to buy Cultivation Method Secret Manual."

"You can practice the ' Body Tempering Foundation Establishment Method ' and the ' Old Farmer Cultivation Method ' first. After you've built a solid foundation and accumulated enough Energy Points, you can buy other Cultivation Method."

The other civilians, seeing those who received the System Seed, were filled with ecstatic joy and shock.

Hearing the gasps of surprise rising and falling, they instantly became convinced that the Fairness System could truly feed them and help them achieve enlightenment, and their gazes became even more fervent.

If it weren't for Xu Cheng'an's earlier instructions, everyone would probably have already rushed over frantically, which could have even caused a stampede and injuries.
