Chapter 3904 The Archangel Wants to Go All In?
Void, [Mythological Side]... [Heaven and Kingdom].
Unlike the unfortunate Buddha, and unlike the Jade Emperor who possessed a large herd of high-ranking cattle and horses... when the Archangel returned, the seven holy cities of Heaven simultaneously resounded with the Gospel, celebrating the Archangel's triumphant return.
Without a doubt, this was a true triumph.
Naturally, angels and priests will go and proclaim the Archangel's illustrious name.
Meanwhile, in the Archangel's Palace, on the throne of the Angel King, the Archangel was lost in thought... Who knows why the Jade Emperor's news was so delayed? Anyway, on his side, Raguel was almost simultaneously broadcasting the preview content.
It is the same as what Raguel sees, and also what the Archangel sees.
Beneath the throne of the King of Angels, a large number of angelic officials had also gathered... almost all of them were high-ranking angels with four wings or more... occasionally one or two golden-winged [Holy Angels] could be seen, but they stood quietly in the corners.
"Haven't you found the exact location of this [Kasyapa] world yet?"
“We have already searched outwards from the marked areas within the third node for at least a hundred light-years... Logically speaking, if we were going to find it, we should have found it long ago. Is this really within the third node?”
"It's a secret realm inside! It must be a place that has never been discovered before!"
"According to the Secret Society's probes, the exploration progress of the third node of the Primordial Era has reached at least 95%, right? Surely we should be able to find some clues, right?"
"You believe everything the Secret Society says? How do they know how big the Third Node is?"
"I'm just in a hurry!"
"Shh, don't disturb the adult's thinking!"
Amidst the scattered murmurs of discussion below the throne, the Archangel on the throne was indeed deep in thought with his eyes closed—the Archangel was once again synchronizing his thoughts with [Raguel]... In any case, with the start of this [Journey to the West in the Void], whether it is [Heaven] or [Heavenly Court], they have ultimately taken a small step ahead of [Void Spirit Mountain].
The ones who should be worried are those guys from [Void Spirit Mountain]... They not only lost [Canaan], but also found themselves in an awkward situation because of Burning Lamp's messy actions.
"Let's take stock of how many usable... Prayer-Binders are left in Eden."
Upon hearing this, the priests beneath the throne couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. Judging from the archangel's words, aside from those items that seemed like fixed deposits used to pay for the "shop" rent... could it be that His Excellency was planning to go all in?!
Why are the adults so optimistic about this westward journey project, going on such a big scale?!
—Hopefully, this isn't the biggest hoax in the mythology world since the New Gods...
"I'll go and take the count right away!" The priest in charge of this matter quickly responded and flew out of the Archangel Palace.
They do not negate the decision made by the Archangel!
……
……
The void... inside the Palace of Eternal Night, a mysterious and unpredictable organization of transcendent beings, in the Throne Chamber.
The [Ksitigarbha Throne] currently in power is meeting with the [Fuxi Throne] who has returned from his travels—this is a dialogue between the highest levels of the Transcendent Organization.
Dong Zhuo could only guard the gate from the outside—meaning that this conversation was kept absolutely secret.
What Dong Zhuo didn't know was that, besides the two people on the thrones, there was a third person in the Throne Chamber who wasn't on a throne.
He sat on a black and white twelve-petaled lotus platform beneath the Ksitigarbha Throne... He wore a simple white robe, had long hair down to his waist, a thick beard, and an unexpectedly refined appearance!
This was none other than Shi Dizang, who had been guided away by Lai Caisheng from the Azure Sea of Blood!
Although Shijizang was not in the Palace of Eternal Night for long, he stayed by the side of the Throne of Ksitigarbha for a whole time without ever leaving.
This treatment was something even Baku (the Dream Eater) Alex and Lai Caisheng didn't receive.
The [Fuxi Throne] is currently observing the creature beneath the [Ksitigarbha Throne] with interest—the [Ksitigarbha Throne] is enormous, even when seated cross-legged, it is over a hundred feet tall, like a mountain.
"I heard that besides Lai Caisheng and that Dream Eater, you've taken on another disciple." [Fuxi Throne] said with a smile, "This third disciple, looking at him, actually looks quite like your... successor?"
The outward appearance of the [Ksitigarbha Throne] is like a golden statue. Before it speaks, its voice resonates through thought: "All beings can be like me, and I can be like all beings. You and I are both."
"I have no interest in arguing with you here." [Fuxi Throne] shook his head with a smile. "Come on, what do you think we should do with this guy? Even if my Yin-Yang Disc is combined with your pearl, it might not be able to fool [Void Spirit Mountain] for long... After all, the one currently in charge of [Void Spirit Mountain] is not someone who can be easily fooled."
"Then let [Burning Lamp] go back," [Ksitigarbha Throne] said calmly.
"Huh?" [Throne of Fuxi] crossed his arms indifferently. "I went through so much trouble to ambush that old monk Randeng, and you just let him go? Ksitigarbha... do you really think I don't need an appearance fee?"
"This [Burning Lamp] is not that [Burning Lamp]," [Ksitigarbha Throne] said softly.
[Fuxi Throne] frowned slightly, a thought suddenly struck him, and his gaze subconsciously fell once again on Shidi Zang, who was on the twelve-petaled black and white lotus throne. "You're not talking about this little guy, are you?"
The majestic golden body of the Ksitigarbha King clearly wasn't smiling, but the Fuxi King always seemed to be smiling... and mostly a sly, wicked smile.
"go with!"
Accompanied by a shout from the [Ksitigarbha Throne].
Suddenly, Ksitigarbha, seated on the twelve-petaled black and white lotus throne, transformed into a stream of light and directly entered the golden body of the ancient Buddha Dipankara.
[The Throne of Fuxi] immediately narrowed his eyes.
In an instant, countless golden scriptures flowed from between the lips and teeth of the Ksitigarbha King, and then quickly entered into the body of the ancient Buddha Dipankara.
The whole process was quite lengthy, normally taking a hundred years... but outside the throne room, for Dong Zhuo, it was just a fleeting moment.
When the final section of the golden scripture was completely integrated into the body of the ancient Buddha Dipankara, Dipankara's golden body began to dissolve, returning to its original form.
“Amitabha… This humble monk, Ran Deng, greets the two benefactors.”
Seeing [Randeng] open his eyes again, [Fuxi Throne] couldn't help but stroke his chin—he knew perfectly well what had happened; simply put, it was nothing more than a substitution.
However, the methods of the [Ksitigarbha Throne] were so sophisticated that if one hadn't witnessed it firsthand, even I would probably have been kept in the dark for a long time.
"So what?" [Throne of Fuxi] asked with a smile, "Ksitigarbha, are you planning to stage a grand-scale Infernal Affairs within [Void Spirit Mountain]?"
"Hell has no intermediate state."
“This is starting to get interesting…” [Throne of Fuxi] chuckled. “Since you’re playing this big game, then… it would be a bit unfair of me not to play along.”
"Everything... is for the sake of the [Primordial]." The [Ksitigarbha Throne] shines even brighter.
"Everything for the [Origin]...?" The [Throne of Fuxi] murmured to itself, "Indeed, this was [our]... original purpose."
……
……
……
……
[Kasyapa] World... [Interpretive City].
The time for the execution has arrived... Outside the execution ground, a sea of people has gathered.
The procession of the Three Buddhas has already entered the venue—after all, this is a guiding ceremony that the Buddha has publicly announced, so the Buddha must naturally enter.
A group of Arhat soldiers were escorting several people wearing heavy shackles to the execution platform... The men being escorted were disheveled, heads bowed, and looking dejected.
However, judging from their physiques, they should indeed be the wanted criminals from the "Traveler's Group" who were captured.
"Look, isn't that Sha Toutuo? He's just as fierce as the rumors say... I heard he especially likes to eat people and has a fetish for using human skulls as chamber pots!"
"So this is what Sun Lanbao looks like... After removing beauty filters and effects, she's nothing special!"
"Actually, I'm a fan of Xuanzang! I'm totally smitten by his looks... Nobody stop me later, I want to be the first to taste Xuanzang's blood!!"
"Legend has it that anyone who eats a bite of Xuanzang's flesh and blood can gain the ability of the [First Element]... Whoever gets it gets it!"
"Gentlemen, I suddenly have a bold idea. Since Xuanzang's flesh and blood are so miraculous, wouldn't his essence be even more effective? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could imprison him and use him as an experience point generator?"
"No, brother...you're my brother, aren't you?"
"It's just about infusing experience... experience!!"
"If you want to say that..."
In short, the scene was very lively.
……
The seat of the "Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds" was now guarded by three layers of white-robed, bald-headed soldiers and Arhats—and even the "Black Bodhisattva" from Wutai Mountain was waiting to board.
Tyrannosaurus Brother subtly shifted his gaze away from the Black Bodhisattvas—he still stood beside Di Qinglong as an Arhat soldier.
There's something that Tyrannosaurus Rex is really curious about... Is Master Wang's plastic surgery technique really that advanced, allowing Old Di to even command these "Black Bodhisattvas"?
[Tyrannosaurus] It feels like being able to temporarily fool these bald guys in white robes is already pretty impressive... This, this isn't scientific, is it?
But when asked why, Di Qinglong just smiled and remained silent, saying something like, "If I say it out loud, it won't work."
Bai Wuxia and Sun Ming stood behind Di Qinglong like two guardian deities... except that Bai Wuxia's legs would occasionally tremble slightly.
"It's come to this, don't be nervous." Seeing this, Sun Ming frowned and reminded him, "Think about how trouble it would be if you gave yourself away."
"The last time I flinched was when I first went to a nightclub..." [Bai Wuxia] swallowed hard and said, "What kind of thing is this? I'm an old man, and you guys actually want me to do such dangerous things! Isn't this ridiculous!"
"Old man, shut up!" Brother [Tyrannosaurus] hissed.
"Brother Long, are you sure we won't be discovered?" [Bai Wuxia] asked in a trembling voice... Actually, Wen Duo's acting skills are comparable to a certain actress, Ah Nan!
—As a professional defense attorney, if you can't deliver a moving performance that moves the audience to tears, you'd be embarrassed to go to court!
“If Old Di says it’s okay, then it’s definitely okay!” Brother [Tyrannosaurus] suddenly leaned close to [Bai Wuxia] and whispered, “He’s the one who’ll be facing [Guanzizai] later, and if anyone’s going to die, it’ll be him… He’s done right by us!”
"Brother Tyrannosaurus, what you said makes a lot of sense..."
Just then—!
The procession of the Venerable Avalokiteshvara also began to officially enter—but behind the procession, there was a black metal box that was two meters long, wide and tall!
[Avalokitesvara] At this moment, followed by a group of beautiful nuns, she slowly walked towards her seat... Her demeanor was noble, and what people saw was the most sacred and beautiful venerable one of the Central Vulture Peak, who could only be admired from afar.
A large group of fervent supporters of the Central Ling Mountain instantly knelt devoutly before the ritual objects of the Venerable Avalokiteshvara, humbly begging for a trace of the Venerable's blessing.
The Three Buddhas' Son, Di Qinglong, sat calmly on the lotus throne, chanting incantations, seemingly unaffected by the Venerable One's arrival.
Then, the fans of the "Three Buddhas" instantly let out loud screams, as if trying to drown out the shouts of the fans of the "Avalokitesvara" venerable one.
Incidentally, thanks to his exceptionally handsome appearance, the Three Buddhas have many female fans... As for the Venerable Avalokiteshvara, he naturally has male fans... mostly believers!
"Three lifetimes?" Guanyin's gaze suddenly sharpened slightly as she looked at the face before her, which was not inferior to Xuanzang's. "Why do you look..."
Di Qinglong slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "This is an illusion. There was no time to undo the curse, so I had to ask those few spell-breaking masters to temporarily make me a new skin."
[Guanzizai] couldn't help but frown... However, based on her understanding of [Sanshi Fozi]'s rather twisted personality, this was indeed something the other party was capable of doing.
The only thing the Buddha of the Three Worlds cannot let go of is appearance.
"The time is almost up," said the Venerable Avalokiteshvara calmly.
Di Qinglong pondered, "But the other guys haven't shown up..."
The Venerable Guanyin said calmly, "Don't worry, Sun Lanbao will definitely appear. He can't possibly abandon Xuanzang."
Di Qinglong appropriately revealed a look of doubt, and then saw the Venerable Guanzizai smile slightly and glance lightly at the nun on his left.
The next moment, the nun quickly walked to the huge black metal box... After a series of actions, the box opened up to the four sides!
Inside sat a handsome young man dressed in a pure white kasaya, his hands clasped together in prayer!
Master...
Di Qinglong's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly!
Is he really bald?!
[Tyrannosaurus] Brother's fist involuntarily hardened slightly!
At this moment, the Venerable Guanyin noticed the subtle shock in Di Qinglong's eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "Three lifetimes, you seem quite surprised?"
Di Qinglong could only hesitate and say, "Xuanzang isn't... but why do you still want him?"
[Guanzizai] slowly sat down. "Indeed, I did warn you not to use Xuanzang as bait... However, the current situation is different. You know the importance of the [Card of God], so if we want to lure out Sun Lanbao, [Xuanzang] must be present. Don't worry, I have already arranged everything."
Di Qinglong had no choice but to remain silent... He didn't know what Guan Zizai was up to.
However, when the bald, handsome young man was sent to the execution ground and stood with several other people, Di Qinglong suddenly had a feeling that things were about to get out of control.
Boom! !
As evening approached, dark clouds suddenly appeared, plunging the ancient city, which had been bathed in the glow of the setting sun, into darkness ahead of time. A gust of wind, carrying both warmth and heat, swept through all the streets of the ancient city.
The wind whistled.
"Boss Xuanzang!! Boss! Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?!"
Oh... of the guys sent by the "Three Buddhas," only Sha Toutuo is actually real.
On the execution ground, the bald, handsome man glanced at the people around him, then looked at Sha Toutuo with a complicated expression, finally clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself, "It's raining, remember to bring in the laundry..."
