Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 922 The God of Cause and Effect
A moment later, Buddha opened his hands, and a portal to a world radiating a mysterious light appeared in his palms.

With a calm expression, he slowly spoke: "Seniors, this is a door to a new world. Only those who cultivate Buddhism and comprehend the law of cause and effect can understand its profound mysteries."

As he himself perfectly met these two criteria, he calmly surveyed the crowd and continued, "If one can pass through this object, one can enter that Buddhist world. As long as one yearns for it, one can step into it."

"Such a miraculous method exists?" Sun Wukong, his fiery eyes wide, exclaimed in surprise, "Old Buddha, don't spout nonsense here."

"Wukong, how could I speak carelessly in front of all of you seniors?" Buddha gently shook his head, his expression calm, with a hint of certainty in his eyes.

However, the many ancient saints present felt that this matter was extraordinary.

Can a single bead truly bring the world to life?

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the bead did not exhibit any fluctuations of the laws of the Great Dao of Space.

Just as they were filled with doubt, the Lord of the Deceptive Path coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "After hearing what he said, I can pretty much figure out who is behind this."

"Who?" Ling Xiao asked curiously, his eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge.

"He's just an old friend of mine, one of the three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods back then." The Lord of the Deceptive Path chuckled, feigning the air of a senior expert.

Just then, the Calamity Demon God curled his lip and said disdainfully, "It's Karma, yes, it's that old guy Karma's doing."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Deceptive Path smirked, inwardly annoyed that the atmosphere he had carefully created had been ruined, but he still intended to let himself complete the process of revealing the answer.

However, none of the people present had any time to pay attention to the Lord of the Deceptive Path's embarrassment.

Luo Hou stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I don't have a deep relationship with that old guy. What kind of tricks does he have up his sleeve?"

Not all three thousand demon gods are familiar with each other's methods; they always keep their most powerful abilities hidden.

The Calamity Demon God took the string of prayer beads from Tathagata's hand and said solemnly, "Cause and Fate are the most mysterious and elusive beings among us Chaos Demon Gods."

“I have experienced some of the methods of cause and effect, which are very mysterious and very strange…” he said, while carefully examining the Buddhist beads in his hand. “Just like this bead, it is probably his work, which incorporates his unique understanding of cause and effect.”

"For example, if you want to enter this bead, you only need to satisfy the cause of 'wanting to enter,' and you can enter as long as this condition is met."

"There's such a method?" All the sages of the primordial world were shocked, naturally understanding the wonder described in the demon god's words.

“That’s not all.” The God of Calamity shook his head and continued, “It’s only part of the cause; that old thing can also control the effect.”

"For example, if something happens, he can set a result directly, and no matter what happens during the process, it will develop in the direction of that result."

"This is too heaven-defying!?" Luo Hou clicked his tongue. Even as a Chaos Demon God, he found this method too absurd and hard to believe that it could be accomplished.

"Why don't you know about this method?" the Calamity Demon God asked with a smile.

"Why?" The curiosity of the many powerful sages present was piqued, and they all pressed for an answer.

"Because using such methods will have a backlash." The God of Calamity shook his head and said solemnly, "He once told me that those who manipulate cause and effect will inevitably be manipulated by cause and effect!"

"If the cause or effect he sets is too outrageous, it will inevitably fail to materialize, and will be realized in a distorted and undesirable way, and will also suffer some kind of backlash." "Of course, this backlash can also affect the enemy. If they violate a certain specific cause and effect he specifies, they will suffer the backlash of the Great Dao!"

Hongjun took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Backlash of the Great Dao? Shichen perished before because of backlash of the Great Dao."

"There are actually such methods? As long as cause and effect are within a certain limit, the God of Cause and Effect is still invincible?" The crowd couldn't help but discuss among themselves.

"It's not that bad." The God of Calamity shook his head, his gaze involuntarily glancing at Ling Xiao, and said, "Do you know how Karma died?"

"How could I not know? He was just killed by Pangu's axe." Luo Hou shrugged and said nonchalantly.

The sages of the primordial world turned their gazes toward the Lord of the Deceptive Path, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, during the great calamity of creation, the only person besides Pangu who fought the entire battle—the Lord of the Deceptive Path—speaks out: "Indeed, Pangu felled us with a single axe."

“Yes.” Calamity nodded. “As long as you are strong enough, you can withstand the punishment of the Great Dao that he has attracted and kill him!”

"The power of cause and effect is mainly concentrated on cause and effect itself; a head-on confrontation is simply not suitable."

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again awestruck by the power of the Great God Pangu.

"Strength can overcome all techniques; that's how it should be!"

A hint of longing appeared in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he asked again, "If that's the case, how did the God of Fate die?"

"Him..." This time it was the Lord of the Deceptive Path who answered.

"This guy is all mysterious and keeps talking about being guided by fate and having a predetermined destiny."

"Even if someone tries to cause him trouble, they won't be able to find him. It's either because of some accident or some other reason that they miss him."

"There are such methods?" If the other Chaos Demon Gods couldn't find the Fate Demon God, wouldn't that mean the Fate Demon God could change the fate of powerful beings who were also at the Great Dao Realm?
“Of course, but his death was also very unjust.” The Lord of the Deceptive Path said, “Before the great calamity, I saw him once. Fate had already calculated that someone was destined to create the world, and he would die in it. The price of changing the world was too high for him to bear.”

The powerful figures present were momentarily speechless, and the scene fell into silence.

"Alright, let's put aside the matters between the Chaos Gods for now." Ling Xiao pointed to the bead and asked, "So, how do we get in?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at them with curiosity.

Anyone who wants to can enter the Buddhist or Taoist world through this bead. Many powerful beings want to experience this feeling of predestined cause and effect.

This time, the Lord of the Deceptive Path shook his head.

"Don't even think about it, you can't get in."

"Why?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.
