Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1105 Guanyin's Conclusion and Considerations
Outside the Guanyin Temple, the Bodhisattva Guanyin sits serenely, holding a vase.

Meanwhile, many powerful figures lingered around, neither daring to approach nor leave.

Their occasional glances at Guanyin Bodhisattva were filled with a mixture of reverence, awe, and fear.

And not far away, there were still magnificent aftershocks of the flow of primordial energy between heaven and earth.

"Bodhisattva, you didn't secretly fight them outside while I, Old Sun, was inside, did you?"

"Bodhisattva, if you're so eager to fight, I, Old Sun, have plenty of energy. Why do I need to look for an opportunity like this?" The Great Sage Equaling Heaven looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, eager to try.

To be honest, he had always wanted to have a go at Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Originally, the time of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace was a great opportunity.

Unfortunately, at that time, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no intention of fighting the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

So they directly avoided the Monkey King.

When the Monkey King saw Guanyin Bodhisattva again, it was already the time when Shakyamuni's Five Finger Mountain was pressed down.

As for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he had already clashed with eight or nine out of ten powerful beings at the Taiyi level.

But it's precisely those Buddhist monks who, when approached, simply chant Amitabha Buddha, sit down on the spot, and act as if they're at your mercy, making it impossible to muster any fighting spirit.

In that Zen temple, he fought against those destructive demon gods—it was both exhilarating and unpleasant.

After all, he had to devote most of his energy to Xuanzang.

But now...

Looking at the changes around him and then at the Bodhisattva Guanyin before him, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven felt the surge of emotion that had just been stirred within him rise once more.

"You little monkey, why do you still act like you can solve everything by fighting?" Guanyin Bodhisattva said helplessly.

"The matter of Guanyin Temple has been settled. You should take Master Xuanzang and head to Fengqi Kingdom."

"If it gets too late, there's no telling what other changes might occur in Fengqi Kingdom."

"Or perhaps, the God of War is about to travel elsewhere."

Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up.

After sending away the Monkey King and the monk Xuanzang, he stepped into the Guanyin Temple and began to examine it carefully.

When that aura of destruction actively entered his cleansing bottle, he was already certain that this aura of destruction was not just an aura—but a real, sentient being with its own intelligence.

He is a 'primordial saint' of the destruction side.

After being reincarnated, Guanyin Bodhisattva has long since found her past life.

Therefore, he was very clear about how troublesome the innate deities were—especially this innate deity from the destruction side, who was a deity without a physical body, making him even more troublesome.

You thought you had already taken them down, or even killed them.

But in the blink of an eye, these innate deities reappeared in another place, in the very place where they had left their mark.

Therefore, even now, the aura of the Destruction side has been completely absorbed into the Jade Bottle by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even though Guanyin Bodhisattva has confirmed the 'divine consciousness' of the innate deity of the Destruction side in the Jade Bottle, he still cannot guarantee that the innate deity of the Destruction side has been completely suppressed in the Jade Bottle.

In Pantian's tradition, suppressing something is never a good thing.

It is a heavy responsibility.

Once you have suppressed something, if that thing causes any further disturbance in the world, the ultimate responsibility will fall on you!

Just then, Guanyin Bodhisattva used an incomparably terrifying killing power to shock countless beings, including the innate deity of the destruction side—thus, everyone knew that the aura of the destruction side had been suppressed by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In this way, if any traces of the aura of destruction appear elsewhere in Pantian after that, the gods and immortals in charge will contact Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask her to resolve the matter related to the aura of destruction.

That is why, even though Guanyin Bodhisattva had already suppressed the innate deity on the side of destruction.

But he still decided to follow the trail of that destructive aura and go back again, so as to thoroughly clean up this matter of the innate sacred beings on the side of destruction.

Through this process, Guanyin Bodhisattva also slowly calmed the turmoil in her heart.

O innate divinity of the destructive side!
When Guanyin Bodhisattva realized that what was inside her jade bottle was a primordial deity of the destruction side, rather than an aura of destruction, she almost lost her grip on the bottle. If it weren't for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven suddenly jumping out and diverting everyone's attention, the surrounding powerful figures would have definitely noticed Guanyin Bodhisattva's abnormality.

If someone's senses become more acute and they perceive the existence of this innate deity of the Destruction side, even if he has just displayed unparalleled killing power and intimidated everyone, it will still lead to extremely terrifying changes.

After all, that was a primordial deity from the side of destruction!

In the heavens, ever since the most ancient era, ever since the order of time and space was clarified, there has never been a manifestation of the innate divine.

—The most mysterious and profound deity born between heaven and earth since the beginning of time is none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

That is simply a born deity, nurtured by nature.

This innate divinity is vastly different.

Similarly, according to normal logic, there should be no manifestation of innate divinity in this day and age.

But then, a primordial deity manifested within this celestial realm.

Moreover, he is a primordial deity on the destructive side.

Just by thinking about it for a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva could imagine the huge uproar that would occur if such a thing were exposed.

That was a wave that even Shakyamuni himself might not have been able to quell.

If such turmoil were to cause future troubles, even if Guanyin Bodhisattva were to attain enlightenment, she would still be swallowed up by those turmoil.

Therefore, even for her own sake, Guanyin Bodhisattva had to do everything in her power to thoroughly clean up the beginning and end of this destructive act against the innate sacred, ensuring that no future troubles would be left behind.

Even if this touches upon something more hidden and terrifying behind this innate saint of destruction, it is worth it.

"A calamity of slaughter, a calamity of death..."

"This formation is so intricately linked that no one can afford to be careless." Guanyin Bodhisattva, in a daze, recalled the 'death calamity' of the Great Dragon God who upheld justice in the heavens.

At first, he thought his death was due to Xuanzang's ritual.

When he arrived in the Southern Continent and made further calculations, he came to the Guanyin Temple and concluded that his calamity was within the temple, caused by the destructive aura emanating from it and the resulting conflict. However, after he used thunderous power to awe the heavens and earth, and then gathered and suppressed the destructive aura, he realized that his calamity was not directly related to the temple's location.

He then realized with a start that the innate deity of the Destruction Side, hidden within this aura of destruction, and the things related to this innate deity, were the true source of his mortal calamity.

“Reverse time and space, reverse the innate, and forcibly create the innate sacred in this era when it should not manifest the innate sacred.”

"It seems to be a means of manipulating fate."

"But what this creation produced was an innate deity of the destruction side, which is completely contrary to the art of manipulating creation."

"Who in the world could possibly do this?"

"What is he plotting now?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva lowered her eyes and gently sprinkled the Three Lights Divine Water with her willow branch. The drops of water transformed into streams of light on the earth, cleansing away the traces left by the destructive aura.

With each repeated splashing, the traces left by the destructive aura were completely washed away.

This is not a typical cleaning.

Instead, it involves sweeping away the causal level and severing the temporal and spatial levels.

Guanyin Bodhisattva can guarantee that after such a cleansing, even if a great immortal were to come and trace the traces of this place, they would not be able to find anything.

After all, what he used to cleanse these traces was not something of the highest quality, but the Three Lights Divine Water.

It is the most supreme divine water in the entire universe.

It is a divine water that is beyond human creation, something that even the Great Luo could not evolve.

Throughout the entire Pantian realm, apart from sages, the only means capable of generating the Three Lights Divine Water is the jade bottle held by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

That was a supreme treasure bestowed by the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

For countless millennia, whenever the sun, moon, and stars align, Guanyin Bodhisattva would take out this jade bottle to guide the sun and moon and condense the divine water of the three lights.

At this moment, in order to cleanse the traces left by the aura of destruction and to sever the connection between these traces and the innate deity of the destruction side, Guanyin Bodhisattva used an extremely extravagant method, using up a full 70% of the Three Lights Divine Water that she had condensed and accumulated over countless millennia!
Even so, Guanyin Bodhisattva still felt somewhat uneasy.

This unease was not because he had made any mistake.

It's simply because the things associated with this innate holiness of the destructive side, and the things hidden behind it, are just too terrifying!
—Guanyin Bodhisattva even believed that even if she were to raise her hand right now to pluck the Dao Fruit and attain the Great Luo realm, she might not be able to escape the death calamity triggered by the innate deities of the Destruction side.

"Perhaps, after I have cleansed away the traces left by this destructive aura, I can go to the Execution Platform to pay my respects to the Great Dragon God Chengtian Bingyi and ask him for guidance?" When she was about to reach the desolate mountain where the destructive aura originated, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The great dragon god who overlooks the human world from the heavens, upholding justice and righteousness.

He had already foreseen his own demise before the killing calamity even began.

Now, this calamity is upon me...

Perhaps then I can go to the Execution Platform to pay my respects...

The thought of the Execution Platform stirred something within Guanyin Bodhisattva.

That's right, innate divine beings are difficult to deal with.

The innate divinity of the destruction side is the most difficult to deal with.

But what if we use the Execution Platform to deal with it?
That incredibly mysterious Execution Platform, how could it completely sever the innate divine being from the level of origin, from the level of the 'Great Dao,' and completely eliminate any future troubles?
"Worth a try." Guanyin Bodhisattva continued to walk, and the Three Lights Divine Water in the Jade Bottle poured down, turning into rainwater that completely submerged, covered, and cleansed the birthplace of this innate deity on the side of destruction.

Finally, after all traces had vanished, Guanyin Bodhisattva returned to her home, Mount Luojia.

Of course, on his way back, he didn't forget to bring along the demon gods who had been tainted by destruction and whose very essence had been greatly damaged by the stripping away of their original nature.

These demon gods are also traces left by the aura of destruction and need to be dealt with.

As for whether they are innocent... under that aura of destruction, how can there be any innocence?
Have you not seen that even the Bull Demon King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, has tacitly approved of Guanyin Bodhisattva's actions, allowing him to take these demon gods away?

Regardless of whether they are taken away and then killed or imprisoned.

"In the universe, there is no such thing as power being without guilt."

"A taboo is a taboo."

"Fate or destruction, those are taboo."

On Mount Jilei, the Bull Demon King stepped out of the Moyun Cave and looked down at the changes near the Guanyin Temple.

"Even we bystanders, upon seeing that aura of destruction, can confirm its true nature and know that it is a forbidden power."

"How could these demon gods who have personally come into contact with this power not understand its true nature?"

"When they sensed this destructive aura, they did not inform us, but instead concealed the news and secretly touched this power."

"Now that they have made their choice, what's the point of coming all the way to Jilei Mountain to beg for their help?" the Bull Demon King said calmly.

Beside him, Red Boy's figure was barely visible, almost swallowed up by the Bull Demon King's presence.

He came to ask for help... or more accurately, he came to deliver a message asking for help.

Among the demon race, those demon gods who had touched the brink of destruction, before being taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva, all their friends came to Jilei Mountain to beg Red Boy to persuade the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to save those demon gods.

The demons and gods in the Guanyin Temple are one thing.

The demons and gods outside Guanyin Temple are all demons of the demon race—even if they need to be dealt with, it should be the demon race that handles it, why should the Buddhist sect intervene?
"Foolish." The Bull Demon King couldn't help but sneer as he listened to Red Boy relay the reasons given by those demon gods.

"That is a forbidden power of destruction."

"Even someone as powerful as me shouldn't easily provoke him."

"How dare those demon gods who haven't even reached the Great Luo realm covet this power?"

"Do you really think they want to protect those demon gods?"

"Wrong. What they want to do is seek the power of destruction through those demon gods."

“My son, do you believe it or not? Guanyin may seem to have left Jambudvipa, but in reality, she is waiting for me on the edge of the South China Sea.”
