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

Zhou Yan had heard that high-ranking officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen in the Eastern Xia United Kingdom liked to buy ghost children from temples in Siam to worship. At the time, Zhou Yan wondered why such a sacred place as a Buddhist temple would raise ghost children. Now, he realized that it was a tradition of Western Buddhism.

Baihu took a sip of water to moisten his throat before speaking.

"Because the doctrines of Western Buddhism are rather heretical and do not conform to the traditional benevolent and righteous way of the Eastern Xia, Western Buddhism could not spread during the Taisho Dynasty. Until the end of the Taisho Dynasty, when Zhao Wenhe felt powerless, he summoned the monk Wusheng and prepared to adopt their sacrificial methods."

The white tiger snapped its fingers.

"Human sacrifices were used, and human beings were made into ritual implements to pray to the gods. In some unofficial histories and legends, Zhao Wenhe even promised that if Western Buddhism could extend the reign of the Taisho Dynasty, it would be made the state religion and human sacrifices would continue every year."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but curse.

"CTMD's human sacrifice cult, is Zhao Wenhe really capable of such a heinous and cruel act?!"

Although Zhou Yan could understand that Zhao Wenhe was desperate and wanted to try any means to prolong the dynasty, sacrificing people and turning them into ritual objects was simply turning back the clock of history and was disgusting.

The white tiger understood.

"Such an inhumane and unjust act has indeed caused a stir in the court and among the people. In some of the stories I found, several vice ministers submitted memorials rebuking the Western Buddhism as a heretical sect, saying that making a heretical sect the state religion would be against the will of Heaven. However, Zhao Wenhe ignored the words of the officials and only sent a large number of offerings to the monk Wusheng. In order to spread Buddhism in Taisho, this monk Wusheng also put in a lot of effort and even found his master and junior brother who were far away in another country."

That's interesting.

Zhou Yan asked hurriedly.

"How do these master and junior brother compare to Wusheng himself?"

Baihu hesitated.

"According to the historical records I have found, the junior brother of this monk Wusheng is Wuyu, who, like Wusheng, is a Dharma King in the Western Buddhism. His master's Dharma name is Dami, and his title is Zhenkong Living Buddha. It is said that he is the reincarnation of an ancient living Buddha with thirty-three lifetimes of cultivation. He is profound in Buddhism and has great wisdom."

Zhou Yan said sarcastically.

"You make it sound so nice, but in reality, wasn't it destroyed by the King... cough cough, the Taisho Dynasty, that's all?"

Zhou Yan didn't care how powerful these three monks were; history had already proven them.

Zhao Wenhe and those three bald monks were all beheaded by Wang Lingguan.

Chapter Sixteen: The Deliveryman

White Tiger shrugs.

"Who knows what happened back then? But I talked to Xuanwu and we both felt that this monk Wusheng was probably a vessel sent down by the Heavenly Demon after the sixth day was opened. They are now living demons, and we must capture them no matter what."

Zhou Yan made a comment.

"Lord White Tiger, have you ever considered that the person who opened the sixth heaven might be Lord Zhongdou?"

The white tiger nodded.

“We’ve thought about it. Even Xuanwu and I think there’s a high probability that Zhongdou Xingjun leaked this information.”

Neither the White Tiger nor the Black Tortoise knew what had gotten into the Central Dipper Star Lord, but they knew that since he dared to release one Zhao Wenhe, it wouldn't be difficult for him to release a few more Heavenly Demons.

Zhou Yan countered with a question.

"Is it possible that the Star Lord of the Central Dipper was also...?"

Zhou Yan pointed to his head.

"Possessed by a demon?"

The White Tiger and the Nine Phoenixes, who were on the first step of the staircase, chuckled at the same time.

The white tiger shook its head.

“Little guy, it seems you don’t understand the Heavenly Demon. Since this monk Wusheng has been parasitized by the Heavenly Demon, then if nothing unexpected happens, Zhongdou Xingjun should be using Wusheng, Wuyu, and the golden body of their master, the Living Buddha Kongzhen, to exchange with Mara.”

Zhou Yan asked, puzzled.

"exchange?"

Baihu then explained to Zhou Yan.

“Little one, you don’t understand. This is a long story. To explain it, we have to start with Buddhism’s division of the world into three realms: the Desire Realm, the Form Realm, and the Formless Realm. The Desire Realm is further divided into six levels, and Mara is the great demon king who rules over the highest of the six Desire Realms, the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven. Of course, before the Buddha was born, Mara was actually a proper deity.”

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement. Jiu Feng had told Zhou Yan about this, saying that the Heavenly Demons did not like to take over people's bodies. They only bestowed upon them the ability to realize their dreams, and for this reason, they were worshipped and believed in by countless mortals.

After all, who wouldn't like a friendly old man who can offer you real benefits?

"To give an analogy, Mara is like the leader of a village. Suddenly, a Buddha appears in the village you lead. The Buddha says that the world is so big and he wants to go see it, so he prepares to leave the village."

"The old village chief thought, what if this silly boy went out and aroused the curiosity of others, making them want to go out too? Most importantly, what if this silly boy ventured out and became more powerful and awesome than him? Where would he, as the village chief, put his face? So he tried to persuade him, saying that he didn't want Shakyamuni to leave the Desire Realm and wanted Shakyamuni to stay so that everyone could have fun."

"Shakyamuni was determined to go out and see the outside world. The old village chief, Mara, had no choice but to threaten Shakyamuni with floods, fire, and lightning. Shakyamuni remained unmoved. Then Mara brought out his three most beautiful daughters and said, 'Shakyamuni, as long as you don't go out, these three demonesses will be your wives. You can choose their poses and clothes. We just happened to have a batch of cosplay outfits at home, which will definitely satisfy all of Shakyamuni's tastes.'"

"If you're still not satisfied, there are other witches to choose from. Unfortunately, Shakyamuni is righteous and unaffected by the pretty witches. The old village chief Mara had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and lead all the obedient demons in the village to beat up Shakyamuni, determined to keep him here. Shakyamuni fought with the old village chief Mara and beat Mara into a muggle before leaving the village."

"The old village chief Mara, having been slapped in the face, cursed Shakyamuni's back, vowing to be irreconcilable enemies with Shakyamuni from then on. He would do everything in his power to destroy Shakyamuni's preaching and to deal with Shakyamuni's disciples without restraint."

The white tiger spread its hands and said.

"From then on, any disciple of Mara who disrupts the Buddhist monks' practice will be rewarded by Mara. This Zhongdou Star Lord must have exchanged the golden bodies of Wusheng and his disciples with Mara. Since it was a legitimate exchange, Mara will not do anything to Zhongdou Star Lord, otherwise who would do business with Mara in the future?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

This Mara sounds so petty. And Buddha, you're so capable. The Heavenly Demoness is an absolute beauty no matter how you look at it. You don't want to think about anything, you just want to go out and see the world.

Wait, shouldn't Mara be able to turn into a girl too?

Did Mara ever try to transform into a girl even more beautiful than His daughter to seduce Buddha, and then have the father and daughter—no, the mother and daughter—go together...?

Damn, Bai Ze should still be alive back then, right?

Did I overhear the gossip between Buddha and Mara back then?

Damn it, the more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more awesome Bai Ze seemed. If Bai Ze could survive hearing the gossip about Buddha and Mara, then Bai Ze was truly a master of survival.

Baihu looked at Zhou Yan's suddenly strange expression with suspicion.

"Little guy, have you thought of some crucial information?"

Zhou Yan turned his head.

"No, no, no, I was just wondering, if the Central Dipper Star Lord were to exchange three golden statues of high monks for Mara's reward, what reward would He exchange them for?"

Baihu said with a solemn expression.

“It’s impossible for Mara to descend to the mortal realm in person. No matter how much the Star Lord of the Dipper wants, at most it’s just a few Free Heavenly Demons at the True God level.”

Zhou Yan said bitterly.

"at most?!"

What does it mean to have god-level combat power? Given enough time, it could destroy humanity. And if there were multiple demons descending to earth...

Zhou Yan was a little afraid that when he woke up the next day, no one in the world except the true god would be alive.

The white tiger reassured him.

"It's alright. I've already discussed this with Baihu, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Dongdou. Now, all of us have contributed our spiritual treasures to Dongdou to divine the location of these celestial demons. When the time comes, all four of us divine beasts will attack together, capturing and sealing them one by one. They definitely won't pose too much of a threat."

True gods are almost impossible to kill, so the Four Divine Beasts harbored the idea of ​​capturing and sealing all the celestial demons who descended to the mortal realm.

Zhou Yan reminded him.

"What I fear most is that the Star Lord of the Central Dipper might interfere."

Baihu said coldly.

“He has come; we can capture them all at once.”

The phone that Baihu had in his pocket suddenly rang. Baihu took it out and smiled. The old man, who was over a hundred years old, showed the phone to Zhou Yan.

The phone screen showed a scantily clad, beautiful girl gesturing animatedly at the camera.

"Alright, the deliveryman challenge begins. I'm going to pick a delivery guy to seduce now. Guess how long it will take him to win me over?"

The white tiger said with a grin.

"Alright, little one, you rest here. I'm going to get down to business."

White Tiger got up, left the living room, went outside, rode his little electric scooter to deliver food, and whistled as he drove away, looking very happy.

Zhou Yan listened to the sound of the big shot's electric scooter disappearing into the distance, then took out his phone from his pocket, downloaded a live streaming app called "Big Ball," and opened it. The top live stream list was filled with challenges designed to entice delivery drivers.

Zhou Yan clicked on the top trending topic.

The top trending topic is a man putting on makeup. He has an oval face and delicate, handsome features. Even with just simple feminine makeup, he exudes a softness and charm that most women lack.

The charming man winks at the camera.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to dress up as a woman and seduce the delivery guy later. When he can't resist anymore, I'll tell him my real gender and see what his expression is."

The live chat was filled with comments like, "You're a man, isn't that better?"

"Don't be so rigid about gender; men can be included too..."

"I think you should check if there are any appointments available at the nearest proctology hospital..."

Zhou Yan: "..."

You streamers really know how to create something interesting, but it's actually quite amusing. Zhou Yan is even curious to see the expression on the face of the future delivery guy when he finds out that the beautiful girl who seduced him is actually a man.

After launching this live stream, Zhou Yan clicked on the second most popular live stream on the trending list.

The streamer in this live broadcast room is a beautiful girl, and she is speaking to the camera.

"According to research from the School of Sociology at Dongxia University, less than one percent of men deviate from the norm in terms of sexual orientation, while over eighty percent of women experience arousal at the bodies of other women, so..."

The camera pans back, revealing a beautiful young female anchor wearing a cute dress. The anchor winks at the camera.

"Later, I'll try to woo the female delivery girl who comes to my door and see if she'll be excited about me."

Another barrage of comments appeared.

"I want one too, I want one too, sister, give me a Ji Hui."

"If the other side gets really excited later, will we be able to actually continue?"

"Damn it, I'll crossdress and come find the streamer right now..."

Is this a crossdresser and a yuri (lesbian)?

You streamers really know how to make things interesting.

The sound of footsteps came from behind Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan skillfully exited the Big Ball app, and a head peeked out from behind his shoulder.

"Xiao Yan..."

Jiufeng, who was behind Zhou Yan, tilted her head to look at him.

Zhou Yan said expressionlessly.

"I was just looking for which slut had seduced Lord White Tiger."

Zhou Yan was a little afraid that Jiu Feng would find out he was looking at other women, so he smashed his phone.

Jiufeng didn't care about what Zhou Yan said; she only said...

"Xiao Yan, do you like seeing delivery drivers being seduced by livestreamers?"

Jiufeng's face was slightly flushed.

"If you like, how about I play with you?"

If possible, I'll come in handy with the winning lingerie I prepared today.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"Forget it, it's okay to watch, but I can't handle playing it in real life."

Jiufeng looked disappointed.

"Then, Xiao Yan..."

Jiufeng bit her lip.

"Are you leaving?"

Now that they've become boyfriend and girlfriend, Zhou Yan is practically hers. So Jiu Feng feels embarrassed to imprison him, especially since Zhou Yan had already taken control of Zhu Que and the others when he got the phone.

When Zhuque comes to demand Zhou Yan, will Jiufeng still hold onto him and refuse to give him up?

Zhou Yan turned his head to one side.
