Rewriting the Gods

Chapter 633 Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst! This poison, will you drink it or not?
For a moment, the entire prehistoric world fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Haofeng.

Sensing the surrounding divine thoughts, Jiang Haofeng looked up. In an instant, ninety-nine percent of the tens of thousands of divine thoughts around him disappeared. One by one, the divine thoughts hurriedly withdrew, afraid that Jiang Haofeng would notice them.

In an instant, all the surrounding divine senses vanished, leaving only a few, all of them top-tier divine beings from the primordial world, as well as various saints high above the chaos.

Those who dare to remain here at this point are either saints or have completely broken ties with the human race and no longer care about such trivial details.

Jiang Haofeng glanced at everyone without saying a word. With a thought, a golden pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth appeared behind him, illuminating the three realms and eight wastelands with endless golden light, and the boundless great world!
Nine imposing figures appeared behind Jiang Haofeng, none other than Jiang Haofeng and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
The power of human destiny!

With the power of human destiny, the eyes of all the saints were instantly filled with golden light. The place where Jiang Haofeng was located was surrounded by dense golden light, which even the saints could not see through.

At this time, in the entire prehistoric world, only Hongjun could see through the fate of the human race.

However, Hongjun Ancestor is the only person in the entire prehistoric world who knows how far Jiang Haofeng has come.

That's it!

Hongjun Laozu sighed slightly, then closed his eyes and looked away.

Although doing so is meaningless, since he is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, nothing in the primordial world can be kept from him. If the primordial world knows about this, he will naturally know as well. Whether he sees it or not, it will not make much difference.

But doing so can be considered as giving face to Fellow Daoist Haofeng.

Once Fellow Daoist Haofeng attains enlightenment, I will still need to rely on him to understand the situation deep within the chaos.

He himself was bound by the primordial world, but Fellow Daoist Haofeng was not bound by it!

······
Jambudvipa, on the western shore!
The towering golden light behind Jiang Haofeng had dissipated, but a golden net, imperceptible to ordinary immortals, enveloped the area. Thus, the probing divine sense completely vanished.

Finally, it's quiet again.

As for Dao Ancestor, Jiang Haofeng selectively ignored him. Dao Saint, whose body is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, even if he had not yet attained the Dao, he would still be no match for Dao Ancestor in the Primordial World with the blessing of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

This is the home ground of the Dao Ancestor!

Since we can't possibly be rivals, there's no point in thinking about it anymore; it's useless anyway.

Just as Jiang Haofeng isolated himself from the world, the five members of the pilgrimage group also struggled to their feet, their auras extremely weak.

At this moment, the five people were still in a daze, their eyes filled with horror.

What just happened?
He was so badly injured that he didn't even know what had just happened.

Completely without any power to resist, let alone resist, he was seriously injured before he could even see his opponent make a move.

Is this the power of the strongest beings (saints) in the primordial world?
In an instant, the same thought crossed the minds of all five people.

As Jiang Haofeng's gaze fell on them again, the five of them instinctively held their breath, and a heavy pressure swept over them.

Having experienced that moment, everyone, whether they knew who the human Haofeng was or not, understood the power of the person before them; he was a being from a completely different dimension.

The gap between the two is even greater than that between immortals and mortals!

Standing before such a terrifying being, it was impossible for everyone not to be nervous!
Before everyone, Tang Sanzang involuntarily swallowed. In the eyes of others, he was the destined pilgrim, an ancient ferocious beast, and one of the thirteen quasi-saints of Buddhism.

But in front of this person, he was nothing more than a slightly larger ant. Moreover, he was only at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Even though Jin Chanzi had lived longer than Jiang Haofeng, he still couldn't help but feel nervous in front of Jiang Haofeng.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he said, "Senior Haofeng, we were ignorant and arrogant, and offended your dignity."

"Since you, senior, have declared this, the journey to the West is no longer possible. We shall now depart!"

Looking at Tang Sanzang in front of him, Jiang Haofeng smiled and calmly spoke.

"Not necessarily."

Tang Sanzang was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Jiang Haofeng with a puzzled expression, "Please enlighten me, senior!"

At the same time, the other four people's eyes also fell on Jiang Haofeng. They all knew that their fate was in the hands of the man in front of them. Whether they lived or died depended on what he said next.

It seems there's a glimmer of hope now!
Jiang Haofeng's gaze swept over everyone and then landed on Sun Wukong. "You're the one. Go to Fangcun Mountain and tell Patriarch Bodhi that if he wants Buddhism to survive, he should come and see me."

After a pause, Jiang Haofeng added, "Tell him not to worry, I won't kill him!"

Although Jiang Haofeng's voice wasn't loud, it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears, especially Sun Wukong, who was left feeling dizzy from the shock.

Don't worry, I won't kill him!
Sun Wukong never imagined that one day someone would say these words to his ancestor!
In his heart, the patriarch had always been a supreme being. Even after sensing the man's power, the monkey remained steadfast in his belief that even if the patriarch could not surpass him, he could still be on par with him.

The patriarch must have been one of the strongest beings in the primordial world.

However, these words instantly shattered the monkey's last hope: "Master, this man is far superior."

There was no need for the person before him to lie; his ancestor was probably truly inferior to the person before him.

For a moment, a look of bewilderment appeared in the monkey's eyes. It didn't know what to do next. In that instant, the monkey's pride was completely shattered.

Monkeys are not inherently bad; that's true.

But it is also true that he made a big mistake!
The Dragon Palace, the Underworld, and the Heavenly Court are basically all places where monkeys cause trouble. The reason for this is simple: they are arrogant and domineering!

The reason why the monkey is so arrogant is his own strength, as well as the confidence given to him by the Bodhi Patriarch.

After the monkey was captured by Xiang Yu and imprisoned at the foot of the mountain, and later severely injured in Chang'an, the monkey's arrogance had diminished by 80%. The reason for this was that the monkey knew that his skills were not top-notch, and that there were many people in the prehistoric world who were stronger than him.

Even so, the monkey still had his own pride. Over there was his master, Bodhi Patriarch, a top expert in the world, and his support.

Although the monkey didn't say it aloud, that's exactly what it was thinking.

But now, at this moment, the monkey's long-held faith has crumbled.

Seeing the monkey standing there motionless, Jiang Haofeng didn't say anything. He could guess what the monkey was thinking.

But this is exactly the effect I want. His mischievous nature is no joke; the monkey's actions far surpass those of Nezha. To truly cleanse the monkey of his wickedness, the best approach is to expose him to the real primordial chaos, letting him know that even Bodhi Patriarch is not omnipotent. Only then can he be cleansed of his wickedness and reborn from the ashes. Of course, this also requires the monkey's own effort; otherwise, his spirit might be broken, and he might become despondent.

In my heart, the monkey is ultimately different, so I might as well give it a push.

After waiting for the monkey for a while, seeing that the bewilderment in the monkey's eyes had lessened slightly, Jiang Haofeng waved his hand, and a mysterious and profound magical light landed on the monkey.

The next moment, to everyone's amazement, the monkey's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, his aura returned to its peak, as if he had never been injured.

But that wasn't the most surprising thing. What was truly astonishing was that, with Jiang Haofeng's wave of his hand, the half of the golden cudgel stuck in the ground also lit up with mysterious light. Then, before everyone's eyes, the golden cudgel returned to its original state.

The dazzling golden light illuminated the void, making it appear as if it were brand new.

In a daze, the monkey repeatedly returned to the state before it made its move.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Sha Wujing even looked at himself with some doubt, wondering if the serious injury he had just suffered was an illusion. However, his injuries remained, and only the monkey had recovered.

Of all the people, only Marshal Tianpeng and Tang Sanzang figured out the reason.

The great Dao of creation is infinitely complex, turning the impossible into the possible.

With the mastery of the Great Dao of Creation before him, restoring the injuries of a Taiyi Golden Immortal and the restoration of a weapon would be a piece of cake.

"Let's go."

Somewhat bewildered, Sun Wukong snapped out of his daze, feeling the power returning to his body. His bewilderment deepened. After a pause, he bowed to Jiang Haofeng and transformed into a golden light, departing.

·······
Bodhi Square Inch Mountain, Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave!
The Bodhi Patriarch looked at Sun Wukong with a complicated expression. The fearless spirit and fighting will that he once had, daring to compete with anyone in the world, had disappeared. In its place was endless depression and confusion.

"Alas, it was my oversight. I only wanted to preserve your sharpness to develop your unparalleled combat power so that you could better integrate with the Demon Ape's essence in the future."

"However, excessive rigidity leads to breakage, and excessive sharpness inevitably results in defeat and sinking into the sand."

Upon hearing this, the monkey immediately shook its head and said, "Master, what are you saying? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died of old age in the mountains long ago."

“Master has bestowed upon me skills and supernatural powers, enabling me to attain immortality and live a carefree life. I have no way to repay your great kindness and virtue.”

As he spoke, the monkey knelt down and respectfully kowtowed.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi sighed again. What a fine disciple he was! What a pity! He had reached the end of his journey, his pilgrimage to the West had failed, and Buddhism was in decline.

With Buddhism declining and the holy position unstable, if another great eon were to pass away, the original deity would inevitably perish, and at that time, I too would not escape death.

Bodhi Patriarch saw this very clearly. Perhaps in the end, these two holy positions would not fall into the hands of the human race, but it was inevitable that two holy positions would be vacant.

No one wanted to see the human race dominate, but that didn't stop two more saints from emerging in the prehistoric world.

Before the venerable one perishes, no other major powers will be hostile to the human race.

such a pity!
Suddenly, the monkey remembered something and immediately said, "Master, that person sent me to tell you that if you want Buddhism to survive, go to Jambudvipa to find him!"

As soon as the monkey finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in Bodhi Patriarch's eyes!
It seems there's another chance for things to take a turn for the better!
Bodhi Patriarch took a deep breath, turned to look at the monkey, and said, "I understand, Wukong. This great calamity is also an opportunity for you. If you can understand your true nature and cleanse yourself of worldly desires, the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos will be within your reach!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bodhi Patriarch raised his hand and pointed, a ray of spiritual light merging into the monkey's brow, and the monkey instantly entered a state of enlightenment.

At the same time, a phantom image of a Bodhi tree appeared behind the monkey, emanating a mysterious Taoist aura.

Of course, this tree is just an illusion. The real treasure is the Bodhi seed inside the monkey's body, a supreme treasure for enlightenment!
Seeing the monkey lost in enlightenment, Bodhi Patriarch took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.

······
Above the Southern Continent, a figure strode over and, in the blink of an eye, arrived in front of Jiang Haofeng, standing before the group of pilgrims.

Looking at the Bodhi Patriarch in front of them, the remaining four pilgrims breathed a sigh of relief. At least they didn't have to face him directly anymore; the pressure was too great.

Bodhi Patriarch looked at Jiang Haofeng before him and calmly said, "Haofeng, you have won this round. I never expected that you, the ancestor of the human race, would bully the weak and reincarnate to bully these juniors!"

Jiang Haofeng's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Further words are useless. Right and wrong, merit and demerit, will be judged by others!"

Upon hearing this, Bodhi Patriarch pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, things have come to this point, there's no point in saying more."

"Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Both Jieyin and Zhunti were shrewd strategists in the primordial world, and Bodhi Patriarch, who was formed by the fusion of their incarnations, was an even greater master of this art. Upon hearing the monkey's words, Bodhi Patriarch understood Jiang Haofeng's meaning.

Jiang Haofeng was greedy and wanted to take over the two original Saint positions, but the human race did not have the power to do so at the moment. Therefore, he planned to nurture them until he felt that the human race had the strength to take over the two Saint positions before making his move.

This also means that I have a chance to catch my breath!
Even if we can't change the current situation, at least we won't die right now. As long as we're alive, there's hope.

Jiang Haofeng didn't waste any time and immediately spoke:

"First, the true scriptures are written by me."

"Secondly, I need four positions for the pilgrims."

"Third, I want the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit!"

As conditions were presented one by one, Bodhi Patriarch's expression remained calm. He had already anticipated that Jiang Haofeng would make exorbitant demands.

We are now at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board. If the negotiations break down, the human race will at most be unable to make any further progress, but the Buddhist sect will lose its last chance.

Bodhi Patriarch did not try to bargain. He sighed and said, "It's like drinking poison to quench thirst."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haofeng's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly said, "That's true. So, will you drink this poison or not?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Patriarch Bodhi calmly said, "Drink!"
