After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan's eyes completely lost their emotion, leaving only pure blankness.

……

The black datura in Zhang Ye's eyes swallowed Zhou Yan's will.

As all consciousness was shrouded in darkness, tiny points of light suddenly appeared in Zhou Yan's otherwise dark mind.

In a state between dreaming and hallucination, Zhou Yan saw a starry river that seemed to have existed since time immemorial, emerging from the darkness.

Vast and boundless, magnificent and majestic.

Zhou Yan stared in astonishment, waiting in bewilderment.

It felt as if my whole being had sunk into this endless galaxy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yan's gaze uncontrollably shifted from the Milky Way downwards. Beyond the Milky Way, beyond the darkness in between, Zhou Yan saw a sea with undulating waves.

The sea stretches endlessly, leaving only a vast expanse.

The camera rapidly panned across the sea, with foam and waves almost touching Zhou Yan's face. In some places, Zhou Yan could even see sea fish swimming beneath the surface.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yan suddenly saw a continent appear at the end of the surging sea, with a white dot at the very front of the continent.

As the camera zoomed in, the white dot became clearer and clearer.

Zhou Yan saw it clearly: it was a wild beast covered in white fur, with four legs on the ground, two long horns on its head, and a goatee on its chin.

A faint light emanated from the beast, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The camera zooms in faster and faster as the beast appears, until it stops.

Zhou Yan was almost within a meter of the beast, staring into its eyes.

The beast raised its paw and patted the ground.

In an instant, large swaths of green plants sprouted from the stone surface that had been eroded by seawater for thousands of years, and the surrounding undulating waves stopped.

The rivers are clear and the seas are calm.

The white-haired behemoth opened its mouth, but before it could speak, Zhou Yan spoke first.

"Are you Bai Ze?"

"Oh no, we are Bai Ze?"

Chapter Eleven: Unbearable

Zhangjia Community, Zhongzhou City.

Su Changqing drove to the villa provided by the Zhang family. As soon as he got out of the car, the bishop of the Miro Church, who had previously exchanged Zhou Yan for him, came over.

Su Changqing used his heart to transmit his voice.

"How's the matter going?"

This disciple of Su Changqing hung his head and said bitterly (through telepathy).

"Master, what Zhou Yan is carrying..."

"...It seems like they've all been found."

Su Changqing's face was frighteningly dark.

When the kidnapper demanded that Zhou Yan be arrested, Su Changqing did not hesitate to have his men arrest Zhou Yan. At the time, Su Changqing thought that regardless of whether Zhou Yan was to be sent to exchange for Su Bijun, he had to control Zhou Yan first.

As long as Zhou Yan is in his possession, the power to decide whether or not to exchange him rests entirely with Su Changqing.

Not long after, Su Changqing had no choice but to hand Zhou Yan over.

The reason for handing it over was simple: the protection of the Fearless Celestial Maiden on Su Bijun was about to give way to her.

Su Changqing left his disciples behind, entered the Su family villa, opened the basement door, and went into the basement.

Inside the basement stood a statue of the Fearless Goddess, its light casting a hazy glow over the space. This statue was originally intended to secretly establish a branch of the Miro Cult in Zhongzhou City, for high-ranking officials and nobles to worship. To further convince them, the statue was exquisitely crafted and lifelike. Coupled with the deceptive magic that the Su family excelled at, the statue was given a sun halo behind its head and radiated golden divine light, making it appear as if a deity were truly present in the world.

However, when Su Changqing came down, there were already two cracks on the face of the Fearless Goddess statue.

When Su Changqing was in a hurry to hand Zhou Yan over, the statue of the Fearless Goddess only developed a crack.

The statue of the fearless goddess has a mysterious connection with Su Bijun. When Su Bijun encounters problems, she will also suffer losses. One crack indicates that Su Bijun has suffered very serious damage, and two cracks indicate that Su Bijun's current condition is worse than before Zhou Yan handed it over.

Damn it, I've already delivered Zhou Yan as requested, and you kidnapper have no sportsmanship at all, insisting on bullying the Su family like this.

Su Changqing became more and more distressed as he thought about it. Su Bijun was a member of the Su family who had been cultivated with countless efforts and resources. She was also a rare demigod who could be highly integrated with the incense and golden body of the Fearless Celestial Maiden.

Now, at a time of great upheaval, Su Bijun is destined to become a powerful figure and a pioneer in missionary work. But judging from the current situation, Su Changqing is somewhat afraid that Su Bijun might perish in this kidnapping.

At that time, the loss of resources invested by the Su family over the past twenty years will be small. The real fear is that once Su Bijun dies, no one in the family will be able to inherit the Fearless Celestial Maiden Dharma Image. It will take at least ten or even twenty years to start from scratch to cultivate a Holy Maiden of the Miluo Sect who can control the Fearless Celestial Maiden.

In this era, wasting even a little time can result in huge losses, let alone wasting ten or twenty years.

Therefore, Su Bijun cannot die, so Zhou Yan and others can be sacrificed as long as Su Bijun can be protected.

Of course, to avoid trouble from Zhuque later, Su Changqing also provided Zhou Yan with an insurance policy.

a long time.

Su Changqing walked out of the basement.

At the basement entrance, Su Changqing's disciple, a bishop of the Miro Cult, was waiting. Su Changqing spoke coldly.

"It's highly likely that there's a traitor in our family involved in this incident."

It's one thing to kidnap Su Bijun silently, but when Su Changqing took Zhou Yan out to exchange for her, he used more than ten kinds of tracking spells, Gu spells, and witchcraft on Zhou Yan. However, all of these spells, Gu spells, and witchcraft were dispelled by the kidnappers, so Su Changqing can't locate him now and doesn't know where Zhou Yan went.

It is clear that the kidnapper was not only an inside man, but also held a high position.

"Have you searched the entire Zhangjia community?"

Su Changqing looked at his disciple.

The disciple nodded.

"We've looked for everyone, except Zhang Ye..."

Zhang Ye is still holed up in the Zhang family's old house and won't come out to see anyone; even her elders can't get her to come out.

Su Changqing sighed and said, "The image of Zhang Ye, who is pregnant, flashed through my mind."

"Don't look for that child. I'll go and meet him later."

Although Su Changqing felt that the possibility of Zhang Ye being the murderer was very low, he still felt that in order to be absolutely sure, he should go and check on Zhang Ye.

After that, all they could do was wait for the kidnapper to call again.

……

An unnamed beach.

Zhou Yan stood before a giant white-haired beast.

Zhou Yan had witnessed the scene just now six months ago.

At that time, Zhou Yan had just broken up with Mi Qing and returned home to sleep feeling gloomy. However, as soon as he entered his dream, he dreamed of the Milky Way and the sea, and on the shore of the Milky Way and the sea, he saw his bloodline source - Bai Ze.

Standing on the shore, Bai Ze tilted his head and said jokingly.

"I never imagined we would meet again in this way."

Zhou Yan suddenly landed on the ground, and the young man felt his feet, hands, and torso.

Zhou Yan touched himself and found that he was not missing anything and did not feel anything unusual.

only……

Zhou Yan looked around.

Bai Ze lay down on the beach, scratching his cheek with his white claws, and said with a hint of mischief.

"Stop looking. You were sent here by the Primordial Womb Realm. Heh, I thought I would have to wait until my awakening level was 60% before I could see you again. I didn't expect you to be here before you even reached 50% awakening level. It's really beyond my expectations."

Zhou Yan remained silent for a moment, then took a step back.

"You are……"

Behind Zhou Yan, the waves crashed against the beach, making a soft, rustling sound. Zhou Yan felt that the sound of the waves crashing against the shore wasn't like the waves hitting the beach; it was like the waves were hitting his own heart.

"Hey, Bai Ze, the one who wrote the omniscience attribute panel for me?"

When Zhou Yan used Omniscience to view the attribute panel, he often saw some inexplicable annotations, such as "We are immune" or "Here's a copy of 'Purple Heaven Divine Thunder' for you," and so on.

Zhou Yan felt that the omniscient ability was somewhat strange after reading these annotations. It didn't seem like it was written by his own ability, but rather that something else had added it.

Zhou Yan had many doubts about this: was there a Bai Ze hiding behind him, or was it the kind of Bai Ze that watched him and made fun of him every day?

Bai Ze, who was lying on the beach, nodded.

"Yes, half of it was written by me, and the other half is your own supernatural power."

Zhou Yan took another step back.

"Where am I? What do you want to do to me?"

Zhou Yan had just tried it out. He could no longer use his Extreme Vision, where all things are illusory and all things are permissible. He also couldn't use the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder or the Illusion Heart Sutra. His physical strength had also been weakened to the level of a normal person.

It was as if he had transformed from Bai Ze, who was originally at 49% awakening level, into an ordinary person.

"you guess……"

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes.

What do I want to do to you?

Bai Ze's aura was imposing, and his voice was like thunder, never ceasing.

"If I guess wrong once, I'll make your... smaller by an inch..."

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yan clamped his legs together.

"Is it really that vicious?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Bai Ze grinned, slapping the sand with its white paws, its tail wagging happily.

"You're scared, you're scared, you little rascal, you're scared, hahaha..."

Bai Ze wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter.

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. This place is the Womb Realm, or you could call it our Womb Realm."

Zhou Yan looked puzzled.

What does "Garbhadhatu Mandala" mean?

Zhou Yan was so captivated by the black mandala in Zhang Ye's eyes that he hadn't had time to read the explanation of the Womb Realm.

Bai Ze, who was lying on the ground, stood up. This auspicious beast king was lying on a large beach, but when he got up, there wasn't a single grain of sand stuck to his body. His fur was still snow-white, without a single blemish. Zhou Yan wanted to pet him.

"Buddhism believes that everyone has Buddha-nature, which is hidden deep within the human mind, like a child in the womb. This is called the womb realm. The womb realm is the great power and magic of Buddhist masters who use their great supernatural abilities to open up this womb and let ordinary people see their own Buddha-nature."

Zhou Yan understood some of it, but also didn't quite understand some of it.

"So, you are my Buddha-nature?"

Bai Ze spat.

"Buddha my ass! We all come from the Heavenly Court, what do we have to do with those bald monks from the Western religion?"

Bai Ze pointed at himself with one paw.

"I……"

Bai Ze then pointed its claws at Zhou Yan.

"...It is your divinity."

"That will also be the form you take in your future mythological form."

……

Inside a restaurant.

Zhou Yan, who was sitting in the chair, closed his eyes completely and slumped down. However, he didn't slump down much before Zhang Ye caught him and picked him up in a princess carry.
