Chapter 753 - 742: The Buddha Might Be Dead
[...The body and spirit of the Half-God have become the possessions of the demon. This allows him to traverse the gaps in the Sea of Space-Time. However, even so, he still died by your hand. Before his death, he was filled with despair, unwillingness, pain, anger, and sorrow! Only because his wish, his task, were not completed!]
Hearing the prompt sound.
Ding Ling, feeling relieved, couldn’t help but think:
"Originally, the Space-Time World where the Half-God resided was real, but the continuous arrival of players and ascenders made the future space-time of the Half-God increasingly unreal, until recently when a closed time loop formed, their time-space completely vanished, and the Half-God became a nonexistent person of the future."
This future person can only exist within the Sea of Space-Time.
If it weren’t for merging with the Time Gear, he might have completely vanished into nothingness.
Thinking of the Time Gear.
Ding Ling activated the Seeking Truth Dao Eye, and within an instant, locked onto the radiant, exceedingly unreal wheel deep in the sea.
He reached out to grab this gear, but suddenly from another dimension above the sky, a shocking Demon Palm emerged, slapping heavily towards Ding Ling’s head, seemingly trying to crush Ding Ling into broken mud!
"Such familiar qi sensation."
Ding Ling also slapped down with a palm, boom!
The two gigantic palms clashed in the void, colliding, the Ultimate True Intent flooded and surged at the sky’s peak, tearing even the sky apart with massive cracks!
"Fierce Demon!"
Ding Ling raised an eyebrow, recognizing the owner of the demon palm as the demon who had previously destroyed the World Association. He prepared to strike down this demon, suddenly sensing the strong rejection of the Power of Space-Time, the world also seemed angry due to his action in Different Space-Time, rumble! An Eye of Celestial Punishment appeared indistinctly in the depths of the void.
The demon palm seemed frightened, and with a flash, retracted to an unknown Earth Realm.
"Ding Ling. Let me handle him. You can go to the Divine Realm first without worry."
A gentle voice suddenly entered his ear.
Ding Ling was startled, looking up, he vaguely saw the Great Sun Buddha smiling at him with a flower in hand, Ding Ling felt relieved, needless to say this Fierce Demon must be the great demon from the Demon Realm, even the Great Sun Buddha of this space-time was alarmed.
Ding Ling hesitated no more, jumped up, and in the next instant, was out of this Space-Time Realm.
Not long after he left.
On a smaller island not far from the one he shattered.
Stood a dignified and tall man, staring dumbfoundedly at everything happening.
He was none other than...
Lü Bu!
"Oh my heavens!"
Lü Bu felt his scalp tingle, his liver and gall split, as if his soul was lost, murmuring:
"Is this world so terrifying?! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have ascended. It’s too terrifying. The aftermath alone is enough to easily crush ten thousand of me to death! Despite thinking I could dominate a side even in the Upper Realm, now it seems, I’ve thought too much."
A cold wind blew.
He involuntarily shivered, upon closer sensing, he realized he was drenched in cold sweat, the sweat soaking his clothes:
"I must find a backer! Otherwise, relying on my own strength, to become such a strong person, when will that happen during the Year of the Monkey?! Who to rely on?"
A silhouette instinctively emerged in Lü Bu’s mind.
It was the prince Ding Ling who had rampaged invincibly in the Three Kingdoms world!
"Prince..."
"He should be very strong!"
"Seems he was invincible in the Lower Realm. With his talent and capabilities, he should also be very strong in the Upper Realm. I’ll inquire and find out. If he truly is in this world, and doing well, I must go to him! This world is too frightening. Without a pillar, how can I sleep well!"
...
...
Ding Ling came and went swiftly.
And at the time, the Seeking Truth Dao Eye locked onto the Half-God with just a glance.
Hence, he didn’t carefully observe the surrounding people, objects.
Therefore, he didn’t know about Lü Bu.
Though even if he knew, he wouldn’t care much.
He was already the strongest in the Human Realm, so he needn’t overly concern what his subordinates think.
He just needs to ensure that this subordinate can be a good general, lead soldiers well, manage one region properly.
He is the Human Emperor!
He is the world’s strongest, with his presence, the world won’t be chaotic!
Tap tap!
Ding Ling returned to the Celestial Ladder once more.
He hurried along the Celestial Ladder tap tap.
A period of time later.
Arriving at the Divine Realm.
Ding Ling shouted loudly:
"Buddha, Buddha!"
A golden line appeared out of thin air, falling straight in front of Ding Ling.
Ding Ling bowed respectfully, then said:
"I wish to inquire of my Buddha. Who exactly was the owner of that Demon Palm I encountered in Different Space-Time just now? Why did he appear at the World Association to wreak havoc? And intend to kill me?"
The golden line trembled, turning into a brush, beginning to write in the air.
Lines of golden characters rapidly appeared in the void.
Ding Ling carefully looked at them.
It turned out the master of Demon Realm is named Poxun.
Poxun is the Yu Realm King of the sky he transformed. He is the origin of all ’demons’ in this world!
With him present, demons won’t be extinguished.
Only by vanquishing him can demons gradually disappear into nothingness, and all calamities, tribulations, naturally fade away too.
Conversely.
If Poxun doesn’t die, the Future World’s annihilation, humanity’s total extinction, will almost become an inevitable fact, simply because Poxun is the demon of the sky he transformed.
He is the true Demon King not existing among these dimensions!
The descending Poxun to this world.
Is merely a thought of the Demon King.
"So, could my Buddha also be a thought?"
Ding Ling was horrified.
"You could say that."
The pen formed from the golden line wrote swiftly:
"But I have long lost contact with the true self. Maybe the true self has died, for all I know."
"..."
Ding Ling didn’t believe the Great Sun Buddha would die.
That is the Buddha of the Western World!
Transcending immeasurable space-time, above Daluo Immortal!
Of course, this is the Great Sun Buddha Ding Ling learned about from novels, movies, TV dramas, etc.
In his impression, understanding, the Great Sun Buddha is extremely powerful, terrifying, but now a ’clone’ formed from a thought of the Great Sun Buddha says the true self has died?! Does that sound absurd?
[I know you don’t believe it. I also hope it’s not true, otherwise, it’d be too frightening.]
The ’Golden Pen’ quickly wrote characters in the void.
The true Great Sun Buddha hasn’t appeared, indicating he is still suppressing demon nature, unable to split his focus.
[But I am now truly an independent entity. After countless years, I have long since developed my own soul, body, and thoughts. I am no longer just a thought of the Great Sun Buddha. I can also be considered a person!]
[I both hope the true self is dead and hope he is not.]
[If he dies, I can truly live for all eternity without perishing. If he lives, he can easily destroy and melt me with just a thought!]
