The Supreme Being of the World, Starting from the Heaven-shattering Fuxi

Chapter 514 The Willow God Returns, A Bet Against Amitabha Buddha, Affairs of Heaven and Hell

[There's no reason for this. How could Daoist Yujing have transcended eternity so early? Shouldn't he be your ultimate backer?]

Ye Fan was busy fighting on the border battlefield and couldn't answer Shi Xuan.

However, Ji Boyi, who had also read the "Destruction of Fortune Record" storyline, looked puzzled.

In the original storyline, Daoist Yujing was arguably the most stunning supporting character. Although he proved his Dao through killing, he can undoubtedly be seen as the foundation for Shi Xuan's future attainment of Dao.

Of course, now that Daoist Yujing has attained eternal enlightenment ahead of schedule and has also taken Maitreya Buddha away, there is no need to worry that when Shi Xuan kills Dao Ancestor Jimie in the future, someone will bully the weak.

While Shi Xuan and Ji Boyi were communicating in the chat group, Daoist Yu Jing transcended the "Destruction Record" world and arrived in the main world of "Supreme Being".

Yu Jing Daoist achieved eternity in the "Destruction Record," and in the world of "Supreme Being of One Lifetime," he was already equivalent to the weak other shore.

Or rather, it is a quasi-other shore. Compared to other other shores, what it lacks is only a process of enlightenment.

When he was in the "Destruction Record" world, he learned about the relationship between the two worlds from his senior sister Feng Luo.

Now that I've come into this world, I won't rush into anything else; I'll focus on proving my path first.

However, before attaining enlightenment, Daoist Yujing threw the Maitreya Buddha he had captured from the "Destruction Record" world toward the Sea God Palace.

This Maitreya Buddha is actually an important incarnation of Maitreya, the "Supreme One of All Worlds".

The reason Amitabha Buddha left his avatar in the "Destruction Record" world was to leave an important contingency plan for his disciples.

However, this backup plan not only failed to work, but instead became an important tool for Feng Xi to help Gu Xiaosang carry on the Maitreya Path.

"So, they started plotting against this humble monk back in that world?"

Amitabha Buddha frowned and was about to get up to snatch the "Maitreya Buddha".

However, the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, residing in the Tushita Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, smiled faintly and stopped Amitabha Buddha.

“Fellow Daoist, I am willing to relinquish my grip in this era and will no longer hinder your transcendence. I hope you will not interfere with the cause and effect between me and Emperor Fu.”

Amitabha Buddha understood the cause and effect and immediately made a decision.

By forgoing the chance to transcend this era, one can preserve a chance for survival.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Morality simply smiled and said, "This humble Taoist's action was merely a casual act of assistance."

"Things have come to this point, whether or not I help you, you are destined to face this calamity."

Amitabha Buddha, however, did not think so: "Fellow Daoist, you jest. If you do not make a move, even the Demon Emperor, who seeks emptiness through reduction, will be unable to act. Who in this world can be my enemy?"

He wasn't lying.

Even on the other side, there are different classes.

There are only six powerful beings on the other side. Besides him, there is the Buddha Tathagata, who has been stuck at the half-step Dao Fruit stage for many years and has not made a move; the Three Pure Ones, who have attained the Dao as one and occupy the greatest power in this world; and Nuwa, who has been practicing reduction and seeking emptiness for many years and is unable to move again.

"is it?"

The Celestial Venerable of Morality smiled again and pointed to the human world, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please observe."

After he finished speaking, all the heavens and myriad realms underwent another change.

A green willow tree, seemingly existing since time immemorial, appeared in the human world at some unknown time, reaching the heavens above and suppressing the netherworld below, spreading throughout all realms.

"Willow God!"

Almost all the cultivators who had lived since the fall of the Heavenly Court at the end of ancient times immediately revealed the origin of this Creation Green Willow.

In the past, the world underwent a great change, and the lifespan of all cultivators below the other shore was greatly reduced.

It was the Willow God standing tall and upright that allowed the Jade Emperor to ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and maintain it for ten thousand years, giving many cultivators ample time to prepare their own contingency plans.

It is obvious that the once towering and indomitable Willow God is about to return.

Having retraced his own time back to the last era of antiquity, Meng Qi has thus completely attained the position of the Other Shore.

Just as he was about to return, he suddenly saw a giant, verdant willow tree that seemed to have come from an even more ancient era.

That era seemed to be at the very root of time, even earlier than the time when Yuanshi Tianzun created the world.

"Willow God? Sacrificial deity? The oldest one?"

Meng Qi was astonished, recalling some ancient secrets he had known when his cultivation level was lower.

When the Boundless Heavenly Venerable appeared in the Three Realms under the name of the Dao Venerable's successor, there was once a heretic named "Willow God" who protected him from the other shore.

After learning about the relationship between Wuliang Tianzun and Emperor Fuxi, he guessed that the "Willow God" was very likely the Willow God from the "Perfect World," the teacher of the Desolate Emperor.

Now that Liu Shen has returned from an even more ancient era, it is clear that her cultivation is higher than his. She should be the oldest being, the one who is closest to the Dao Fruit realm in this world, as Ye Fan and the others have mentioned.

He then recalled the "Sacred Ruins" plot that Ji Boyi had mentioned. The Immortal Emperor system there also had a realm that was closest to transcendence—the Dao of Sacrifice.

Meng Qi was unsure whether the Willow God before him was the most ancient being from the other shore, or the Immortal Emperor of Sacrifice.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly discovered that the lush, giant willow tree had transformed into a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Beside the woman stood a middle-aged Taoist priest whose eyes seemed to contain all Tao and all Dharma. He glanced at her indifferently and almost simultaneously returned to the current point in time.

"Yue...Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable?"

The name flashed through Meng Qi's mind, and he returned to the current node.

Then, he saw the scene of Maitreya, the future Buddha of Buddhism, failing to attain enlightenment on the other shore, and he also saw a Taoist priest with murderous intent soaring to the sky, which triggered strange phenomena on the other shore.

Around this Taoist priest, four immortal swords floated, filled with sharp killing intent; they were clearly the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter.

Meng Qi was stunned again, looking towards the place where the Eternal Mother was, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian of Lingbao Tianzun were still there.

"What's going on? Are there still two sets of the Four Swords of Zhuxian?"

Meng Qi didn't have time to pay attention to what was being discussed in the chat group, because he saw that another old father-in-law, Emperor Fuxi, had crushed another Maitreya, turning it into an illusory Great Dao, which he then directly introduced into Gu Xiaosang's body.

Then, his wife, Gu Xiaosang, actually replaced Maitreya, who had failed to attain enlightenment, and tried to seize his position on the other side of the path.

"Are you still choosing to play this way?"

He learned about the plot of "The Supreme Being" from Ye Fan, and knew that in the original story, after Maitreya failed to attain enlightenment, Gu Xiaosang replaced him and became the new Other Shore.

Meng Qi thought that with Maitreya's early enlightenment, Xiao Sang would lose this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, with the help of his father-in-law, Xiao Sang, like him, ascended to the other shore in one step.

"But will Amitabha Buddha agree?"

In the original storyline, Gu Xiaosang took on the identity of Maitreya in the past and became the other shore. This was done with the joint permission of the Eternal Mother and Amitabha Buddha, and she became a product of their subtraction and emptiness.

Meng Qi has already reached the other shore and can sense that the Great Dao of the Moral Celestial Venerable and Amitabha Buddha are confronting each other in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Clearly, this Amitabha Buddha seems to have not yet agreed to this matter. "If he agrees, hand over the illusory Dao Fruit and give him a chance to be reborn and cultivate again; if he does not agree, then turn to ashes and end it all."

Seemingly having heard Meng Qi's thoughts, Feng Xi uttered these words calmly, and then suddenly moved.

He took a step and arrived at the beginning of the creation of the world.

In this place, Amitabha Buddha and the Celestial Venerable of Morality are engaged in a fierce battle.

"Fellow Daoist, leave this battle to me. The karma from the past should be settled here."

After Feng Xi finished speaking, the Celestial Venerable of Morality immediately stopped and laughed, "Then I'll take a break and watch your skills."

This celestial being, who existed since the beginning of time, stood leisurely to the side, watching without any intention of leaving.

"Are you Emperor Fu?"

Amitabha Buddha looked deeply at Feng Xi, recalling how the other party had taken advantage of Zhenwu's attainment of Dao to seize Fu Huang's body and bring it to Zixiao Palace, leaving him helpless.

Even so, he couldn't be sure if the other party was Emperor Fu.

Feng Xi nodded: "I guess so."

Then he shook his head: "You could say it isn't."

This answer left Amitabha Buddha speechless. Was it yes or no?
However, looking at Feng Xi, he smiled frankly and said, "Fellow Daoist, your body belongs to the Other Shore of the Heretical Path. Although you have a boundless body and have become an ancient being of the Other Shore, you are probably no match for me if you want to fight me."

“We cultivate ourselves for the sake of the path to enlightenment. Why not relinquish past karma? I promise that I will not seek any position of enlightenment until you have transcended this path.”

Amitabha Buddha was helpless. Although his realm was higher than Feng Xi's, the old man, the Moral Celestial Venerable, was clearly in cahoots with Feng Xi.

What good would it do to defeat Feng Xi?
The cause and effect have already manifested, and he absolutely does not believe that the Moral Celestial Venerable will not intervene.

Originally, he thought that by combining the power of the Eternal Mother and the Demon Buddha, he might be able to reverse the tide of the Three Pure Ones.

Now, after confronting the Moral God for some time, he realized he was wrong.

Before the appearance of the two Heavenly Venerables, Yuanshi and Lingbao, the power of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality alone was beyond his ability to defeat.

If he were to truly prevent the Three Pure Ones from transcending, he was genuinely worried that they wouldn't be in a hurry to transcend either, and would instead kill him completely before slowly studying the matter of transcendence.

Feng Xi smiled upon hearing Amitabha's words: "Fellow Daoist's words are reasonable, then I will give you a chance."

"Fellow Daoist, please speak..."

"In this battle, the Three Pure Ones will not participate; only my Daoist partner and I will fight against you. If you win, we will follow your advice; if you lose, we will borrow your Great Dao for a while. I will have Xiao Sang take you as her disciple so that we can ascend to the other shore in the future."

Feng Xi originally intended to kill Amitabha Buddha.

However, after he retrieved his clone in the world of "Lord of the Stars", he had a new idea.

Feng Xi's most important incarnations, namely Wuliang Tianzun, the Jade Emperor, and the Lord of Mount Tai, were separated long ago, and each has accumulated enough experience.

However, although his avatar in the world of "Lord of the Stars" also reached a similar level, his foundation was ultimately insufficient.

That clone first cultivated the Amitabha Sutra in the world of "Lord of the Stars" and entered the path of "emptiness" in Buddhism.

If one wants to enhance one's foundation, there is no more suitable choice than Amitabha Buddha of the "Supreme Being of All Ages".

When Feng Xi first transmigrated, Amitabha Buddha wanted to convert Emperor Fu and obtain Emperor Fu's Great Dao.

Now that Feng Xi has achieved success in his cultivation, obtained his Great Dao, and fulfilled his own potential, it can be considered a cycle of cause and effect.

After hearing Feng Xi's words, Amitabha Buddha glanced at Willow God and Boundless Heavenly Venerable, who had also arrived at the beginning of creation.

In his view, Liu Shen had only just become the oldest being, while Wuliang Tianzun and Feng Xi himself were merely considered ancient beings. He had cultivated several opportunities and possessed profound foundations, so even if he were to fight three against one, he might not necessarily be unable to win.

"In that case, this humble monk accepts."

After saying this, he asked the Celestial Venerable, "Celestial Venerable, could you bear witness for us?"

He was afraid that Feng Xi would deny it, so he wanted the Heavenly Venerable of Morality to be a witness.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality first gave Feng Xi a strange look, then looked at Amitabha Buddha with a pitying gaze: "Since you two fellow Daoists have this idea, it is of course acceptable for me to act as a mediator."

When fighting against Feng Xi and his Daoist partner, the Celestial Venerable of Morality felt that even he needed to ask the Celestial Venerables Yuanshi and Lingbao, who had already broken free from all the karma of this world, for help before he could feel confident.

Moreover, it is limited to this world.

As for Amitabha Buddha, let's forget about it.

Amitabha Buddha, unaware of this, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his whole body exuding a pure and solemn aura, and said to Feng Xi, "Fellow Daoist, please begin."

Feng Xi smiled: "No rush, a few more fellow Daoists are coming."

"besides?"

As Amitabha Buddha's words fell, at this point in time, in the illusory realm where the Nine Heavens resided, a supreme emperor wearing a crown and holding a talisman stepped out.

Or rather, not an emperor, but a heavenly emperor!

The moment he appeared, many ancient and powerful beings at this point in time couldn't help but exclaim, "The Jade Emperor!"

The Jade Emperor, who ruled the Heavenly Court after the Heavenly Emperor, is credited with the merits of the Jade Emperor for enabling many powerful beings to survive the misfortune that greatly shortened their lifespans.

"So, has the Jade Emperor also become the other shore? Why haven't any phenomena of the other shore appeared?"

Meng Qi found this quite strange.

With his current strength, he can see that the Jade Emperor is the other shore, but from the past to the present, he has not seen any signs of attaining the other shore.

Just as he was wondering, a supreme emperor also emerged from the illusory place where Jiuyou was located.

He held the Netherworld Banner in one hand and the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation in the other, his gaze cold and aloof as he looked down upon the mortal world.

He resembles the Jade Emperor in appearance, but his imperial robes are somewhat different.

The Jade Emperor appears more distant and lofty, while this one appears more solemn.

"Lord of Mount Tai!"

This emperor was also recognized by many powerful beings.

After the Investiture of the Gods and before the Journey to the West began, there was a period in the Three Realms when the laws of the Underworld were most stringent, which was when this Emperor Taishan was in charge of the Underworld.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the Jade Emperor shook the Jade Emperor Seal in his hand, and the Lord of Mount Tai waved the Reincarnation Banner in his hand.

Then, numerous powerful beings and legendary figures emerged from the divine artifacts in their hands.

These are the many cultivators who sought their protection during the great upheaval of the past, and who survived the tribulation of declining lifespan.

Some went to Heaven, some to Hell; now that the final calamity has arrived, it is time for them to return.
