Chapter 238: Neither a Major Trend Nor an Incurable Disease of the Aristocratic Families
It wasn’t just the meteorites falling from the sky, the originally clear night had suddenly turned with flashes of lightning and bursts of thunder, heavy rain and winds came together, torrents of rain causing rivers to swell and drown over ten thousand men in Wang Mang’s fleeing army.
In the end, out of the 420,000-strong army, only a few thousand men escaped back to Luoyang.
The National Master, Wang Bodhisattva, also fled in panic, fearing more heavenly punishment upon himself.
Because he dared not manifest his supernatural power, he also was hit by a meteorite, which smashed him into the ground and inflicted serious injuries.
After escaping from Kunyang, National Master Wang Bodhisattva, seeing that Wang Mang’s army was nearly completely wiped out, could not help but sigh deeply, "Is it not heaven’s will to advance Buddhism?"
His use of Beast Taming Supernatural Power had caused such a great disturbance; clearly, this battle involved the fate of the dynasty, which warranted Heavenly Dao to mete out punishment.
Because the intervention of gods in the succession of the Human Race dynasties is forbidden by rules set by Ancestor Dao and with Heavenly Dao aligned with him, his rules are the will of Heavenly Dao.
But the issue was, advancing Buddhism was also a promise and compensation given by Ancestor Dao to the West.
Could it be that in the eyes of Ancestor Dao, advancing Buddhism is less important than the regular succession of human dynasties?
In recent years, by supporting Wang Mang and widely constructing Buddhist temples in the Southern Region of Asia, Buddhism had only just begun to spread and had the potential to flourish over time.
