New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 58: Buddha Kingdom Decrypted: The Boss is Me (Subscribe)
Next, the captain began to decipher the inside story of this bubble world.

Initially, this was a small, bubble-like world controlled by the Buddhist system. The overall atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful, with abundant natural resources. Despite its small size, its society was backward, revolving around an ancient city-state system. It's unknown how long this world had existed.

Until a few months ago, the Bubble World was eroded and infiltrated by the Yellow Spring. Deathly aura spread throughout the human world, and a large number of zombies revived and attacked the unprepared civilians, causing the scourge of the ghouls to spread rapidly.

When this bubble world was first born, the 'Buddhist system' it inherited was incomplete.

On Duling Star, the truly powerful Buddhist sects possess extensive experience in dealing with the Yellow Springs. They even proactively invaded the underworld, creating their own "private hell" to demonstrate the boundless power of the Buddha's teachings and enhance the overall influence of Buddhism.

The Ye Buddhist Kingdom lacked the relevant knowledge system and was restrained by the [Yellow Spring Death Qi], and was defeated step by step.

In the end, the monks of the Diamond Temple, who had long been on the front lines suppressing unruly people, were the first to fall. On the contrary, the Tianyin Temple, which had always been proficient in brainwashing and indoctrination and had been hiding in the second line, survived.

When the ghouls opened the Yellow Springs spring in the Diamond Temple, the monks of the Ye Kingdom finally realized something was amiss. The former abbot, Longyin, stepped forward and attempted to suppress the Diamond Temple abbot, who had become a 'Buddha ghoul.'

In this battle, Elder Duowen, who had been depressed and patient for many years, finally seized the opportunity and made Abbot Longyin and the Buddha Corpse Ghost fall into a trap, intending to let them consume each other, both suffer losses, and perish together.

To realize the ambition of dominating the Buddhist kingdom and becoming the new generation of leader.

Then, as expected, the accident occurred. After a few dozen days of silence, Abbot Longyin and the Buddha Corpse Ghost both absorbed the Death Qi of the Underworld and returned as Ghost Kings.

The Ye Buddha Kingdom, a bubble world, is in danger of extinction! People are fleeing in all directions. Duo Wen is appointed the last abbot in the face of danger, and it seems that he will be defeated.

The story, up to this point, follows the traditional Bubble World trope. [Maomao King] pays to calculate a world suitable for their mission, then sends a sales team to save the world and sell children's clothing.

Either the [Yellow Springs Crisis] is suppressed and resolved by the Maomao King team, the world is saved successfully, the favor of the Buddhist camp is won, and this place is developed into a 'cheap raw material cultivation and collection base'.

Or [Yellow Springs Crisis] will become bigger and successfully pollute this bubble world that originally belonged to the "Buddhist Sect" and transform it into a new "Yellow Springs Underworld. Bubble World".

At that time, the 'Bubble Underworld' would have no appeal to [Mao Mao Wang], and he would most likely sell this information to other demons of the 'Yellow Springs System' in exchange for benefits.

...

However, an accident happened half a month before the arrival of the "Mao Mao Wang Team". A group of uninvited guests from the astral layer, the [Plant Universe Refugees] arrived in the bubble world first.

That’s right, those ‘tomato heads’ are not some kind of pollution or deformed monsters, they are born looking that way!
The Plant Tribe is the native and intelligent life form of the Plant Universe, one of the eight external universes connected to the Duling Planet. The creatures of that universe all revere plants, evolving into a human-like biological form.

Tomato people are a species of plant aliens.

Today, some alien immigrants from the [Plant Universe] have settled in the 'Astral Layer (similar to the concept of outer space)' outside the Duling planet for a long time, and founded the famous [Astral Intercontinental Bank] on Duling planet.

Of course, Yuan Zhu knew none of this information. He had only heard of the Star Bank, but there was no branch in Running City. He'd heard there was one in Taixi next door. But he had no idea if it was run by aliens or a bunch of vegetative people.

I have learned a lot today!

These refugees were originally explorers from a certain astral fleet of the Tomato Clan, responsible for exploring and discovering valuable minerals in the astral layer.

During their exploration, they were ambushed by a "filthy bone monster," and many of their companions were contaminated by its blood, driving them mad and turning into "crazy eggplants" who didn't recognize their relatives, attacking and devouring their companions. ("Alien + Zombie" script)
Finally, after a bloody internal conflict and massacre, the remaining tomato tribe killed and destroyed all the crazy nightshades.

But new problems arise. As close contacts of the Mad Nightshade, there is a risk of "dirty blood contamination" lurking in their bodies.

Although the plant race is naturally resistant and has the "affinity for starlight pollution" unique to the spirit world, it still cannot guarantee that it can perfectly suppress the dirty blood and will not explode into crazy blood and turn into crazy eggplant.

According to the family's rules, these survivors were to be destroyed. Refusing to sit and wait for death, the Tomato Man survivors discussed and unanimously decided to flee the Star Realm and escape the family's control.

In the end, Captain Tomato, along with a small number of team members, found the entrance to the nightmare foam layer where the space fluctuations were obvious. They rushed into it without thinking, and after escaping death, they successfully landed in the Yefo Kingdom.

A group of Tomato Clan carriers of foul blood arrived at the Ye Buddhist Kingdom, where the Yellow Springs crisis was unfolding. Four sources of pollution converged here: the Dharma, the Yellow Springs, foul bones, and the Star Eggplant. …

Due to the strange phenomenon of stars descending to earth, the Tomato Clan team was immediately discovered by the 'Last Abbot. Duo Wen', who sent monks to retrieve them.

After the two sides communicated with each other, Duowen regarded the Tomato Clan as an alien who could turn the crisis around; and the Tomato Clan also regarded Buddhism as a life-saving straw to control the hidden dangers of foul blood in their bodies.

The two sides hit it off immediately. The Tomato Clan provided methods to manipulate and absorb starlight to help the declining Buddhist sect suppress the disaster of the underworld. In return, Abbot Duowen promised to help the Tomato People suppress the foul blood in their bodies, or even completely eradicate it.

In fact, both sides hid their own little thoughts in this exchange.

The magical Dharma of Buddhism, especially the "soul system" practiced by Abbots Duowen and Longyin, has a powerful brainwashing (pollution) effect. It can establish a spiritual connection (Dharma network), forcibly convert believers, absorb the souls of believers to strengthen themselves, merge and assimilate with each other, gradually strengthen the essence of the soul, and finally transform into the magical ability of Buddha.

Abbot Duo Wen plans to gradually implant Buddha cocoons into the "Tomato People", distort and pollute their souls, modify and correct their thoughts, and finally hold a grand ceremony to use them all for his own benefit, thus achieving his goal of occupying the Starlight.

Although the Tomatoes lacked understanding of Buddhism, they feared the onset of the foul blood. Their ability to manipulate starlight was a racial innate ability. If the Buddhists wished to use starlight to repel and suppress the Yellow Springs, they would have to spare their lives, dispose of the foul blood, and keep them safe.

Just like that, after more than half a month of integration, the tomatoes were brainwashed by the group.

At the same time, Abbot Duowen was also frantically conducting taboo research, seeking a way to combine "Buddhism" with the blood of the Eggplant clan, and from time to time helping the Tomato people remove some of their dirty blood to delay the outbreak of madness.

So they joined forces to create the "Tomato-Headed Monk," a creature based on a human, grafted with eggplant blood, creating a freak neither Buddhist nor tomato. Within the human's body, the blood of an alien plant coexists, twisted and transformed into a Buddha cocoon, infused with starlight.

At the same time, Abbot Duowen, who gradually became paranoid and possessed by demons, injected the "dirty blood" of the tomato clan into the beasts, hoping to create cheap biological weapons controlled by Buddhism to fight against the disaster of corpse ghosts.

The result was the creation of a dangerous "Green Blood Demon," possessing both madness and plant-like characteristics, even possessing a touch of Buddhist filthiness, yet remaining uncontrolled by the Dharma. Thus, in addition to the "Yellow Springs Ghost Disaster," the "Filthy Bone Disaster" was developed.

In the end, after much deliberation, Abbot Duowen decided to release the "green monsters." Although he couldn't control them, they could further corrupt the world and force those civilians who had fled and hidden to return to Naye Country for asylum.

...

Then, the story comes to tonight.

[Maomao Wang Sales Team] arrived with great force, but they were a step late and could only play a bystander role throughout the whole process, being dragged into this chaos.

Abbot Duowen, who had gathered enough believers, decided to hold a Buddhist ceremony to receive the starlight. He blew up the heads of many eggplant-headed monks and peeled off his original "Starlight Buddha Cocoon", which he connected to his own flower-disk head.

By leveraging the properties of plants and grafting fruits, he forcibly completed the "soul fusion" with many monks, skipping the difficult practice steps and becoming a Buddha directly!
Abbot Duo Wen not only has to bear the souls of countless monks on his own (the Buddha cocoon is the hard drive and the souls are the data).

He also planned to connect all the surviving tomato people by blood and flesh... and evolve them into a brand new individual (Buddha Egg), inheriting their racial talent of manipulating starlight.

Then, the plant-based aliens were too different from the humans in the bubble world. Duo Wen over-exerted himself in assimilating their souls, exceeding his own brainwashing and integration limits, ultimately causing his self-consciousness to collapse and dissipate.

The numerous Buddha cocoons that housed the souls of monks, the dozens of tomatoes who had entered Buddhism, and the "soul consciousness aggregate" of Abbot Duowen, ultimately reshaped the new life form "Buddha Tomato" with the [Buddha Dharma] itself as the intersection anchor.

In other words, it was the [Bubble World] itself that guided and gave birth to the savior Buddha [Star Buddha] to save the Bubble World itself.

Therefore, Abbot Duo Wen died.

The [Duowen Xingchen Buddha] that was born today is the 'prototype of the local demon god' that gathers the power of many parties. It can also be said to be the 'Buddha' born in this bubble world and the spokesperson of the will of the bubble world.

The captain concluded, "Duo Wen may be a villain, but the last version of [Duo Wen Buddha] you saw was actually cleansed and reborn, considered a 'good god' of the Order faction. Its final act was indeed to use its starlight vines to patch the gap in the sky, preventing further Tomato People or the contamination of the Filthy Bone from descending upon the Bubble World. At the same time, it sacrificed the spiritual lives of three Tomato People to block the infiltration of the Yellow Spring. As long as it continues to clear the Bubble World of the 'Green Version of the Filthy Bone Monster,' then this world will establish a new order, giving rise to a new species, neither human nor tomato."

Yuan Zhu fell silent upon hearing this. If [Buddha Qie] was cleansed and returned to the world of good, becoming a benevolent deity, then could the "Netherworld Yellow Springs Dimension + Shadow Prefabricated Ghosts" he had personally planned be considered a "villain foreshadowing" for the sequel?
The boss is actually me!
