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

The Vermilion Bird on Zhou Yan's shoulder, its two small wings cradling its belly, laughed heartily.

"A prosperous age of virtue? Hahaha, a prosperous age of virtue, old monk, go and see the countries in this world that govern by virtue, they have all failed miserably."

Having lived for so long, Zhuque is very clear about one thing: human nature cannot withstand the test. The most prosperous period of the Eastern Xia Federation was not that there were no classes, but that there was intercommunication between classes. In other words, in the Eastern Xia Federation at that time, the channels for people to move up in society were very stable.

The monk Da Mi sighed.

"Yes, I was wrong. So this time, after my resurrection, I made the great vow to save all living beings and no longer pursue the illusory and ethereal world of great virtue."

The monk Dami's figure began to disappear.

"I have come up with a way to bring happiness to everyone."

"Benefactor Zhou, would you like to know?"

Zhou Yan remained silent.

The monk Dami spoke to himself.

"Come to Xiaoye City, I'll be waiting for you there."

The monk Da Mi disappeared completely.

……

One bedroom.

Zhou Yan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and then sat up halfway.

A burst of light appeared beside Zhou Yan, and then the Vermilion Bird appeared next to him.

Zhou Yan looked at Zhu Que, then at his own bed. Although this thought was wrong at the moment, Zhou Yan felt that there were probably no more than five men in the world who could get Zhu Que into his bed.

And I am one of those five.

It is a great honor.

Zhou Yan shook his head, trying to clear his mind of inappropriate thoughts, and then hesitated.

"Where is Xiaoye City?"

Zhuque got off Zhou Yan's bed, went to the computer desk in Zhou Yan's bedroom, and turned on Zhou Yan's computer.

Zhou Yan sat down next to Zhu Que. Zhu Que opened the search engine, typed in "Xiao Ye City," and a map appeared.

Then Suzaku scanned the city with a positioning satellite, but because it was nighttime, the satellite's optical lens could not see the specific situation of Xiaoye City.

Zhuque picked up her phone and made a call.

Ten minutes later, Zhuque's phone rang, and Zhuque answered it.

"Lord Suzaku, please go to the Big Ball live streaming platform, room number is ×××169..."

Zhuque logged into the Big Ball Live Stream and entered the room number.

As the computer monitor went dark, Zhou Yan and Zhu Que saw the outline of a city appear on the screen.

A "whoosh" sound was heard off-camera, followed by a white light appearing in the dark night.

These are specially made flares, bright enough to illuminate almost a tenth of the city fairly clearly. Then, flares lit up one after another, illuminating different areas of Xiaoye City.

The camera panned closer to Xiaoye City under the light, showing streets flashing by on the computer monitor, and cars, some broken and even showing signs of fire, leaving one after another.

Until groups of people sitting cross-legged appeared.

Zhou Yan and Zhu Que saw on the screen that on a certain street, thousands of disaster victims sat cross-legged on the ground, their hands clasped together in front of their chests, their faces filled with joy, motionless.

The camera panned across the group of people, and after thousands of them, there was a large square where tens of thousands of people were sitting cross-legged. As they walked out of the square, even more disaster victims appeared before Zhou Yan and Zhu Que.

Zhou Yan stammered.

"These, what?"

Zhou Yan had seen some cult members perform rituals, such as hundreds of people pouring oil on themselves and setting themselves on fire, killing each other, and throwing poison gas bombs into the subway.

But I've never seen hundreds of thousands of people sitting cross-legged on the ground, smiling peacefully and calmly, as if they were having a beautiful dream.

Zhuque shook her head.

"I don't know. Does this so-called Vacuum Living Buddha really kill everyone and consider killing everyone as saving all sentient beings?"

Zhou Yan joked.

"Perhaps. Isn't it said that Buddhists go to the Western Paradise after death? If killing everyone and sending them to the Paradise is considered saving all sentient beings, then isn't that considered universal salvation?"

The camera continued to pan across the city, this time passing over a building. Zhou Yan and Zhu Que saw the monk Dami, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of a building. Beside him stood Wuyu, who had said he wanted to cultivate with Zhou Yan.

As if sensing something amiss, the monk, who could be considered exceptionally beautiful and otherworldly whether in male or female form, looked up and met the end of the drone.

Both Zhou Yan and Zhu Que saw the eyes of Wu Yu, eyes that could drown a person in their tenderness.

Suzaku sighed.

"This kind of man should be beaten to death; his face is even better looking than mine."

Zhou Yan looked at Zhuque's face, then at Wuyu's face, and clicked his tongue.

Zhuque's eyes widened.

Zhou Yan hurriedly replied.

"How can Wuyu compare to Lord Suzaku? Lord Suzaku, you underestimate your own charm." ∑「＋〕.

Zhuque snorted.

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

The drone flew around the city and then came back.

Zhuque exited the full-screen mode and looked at Zhou Yan again.

“Alright, we’ve figured out this place. Xiao Yan, I’ll call White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon to back you up. You go in and talk to this Dami and see what he wants to do.”

Zhou Yan nodded without saying a word.

……

The sky is bright.

An airplane flew in from beyond the sky. When it reached the airspace above Xiaoye City, the cabin door opened, and Zhou Yan, wearing a parachute, jumped out of the cabin.

Halfway through the jump, Zhou Yan opened his parachute.

Amidst the howling wind, Zhou Yan precisely controlled his fall, landing on the rooftop of the building where Da Mi was sitting cross-legged in Xiaoye City.

As Zhou Yan descended, he saw the street below the building filled with all sorts of living people. These people sat cross-legged on the ground, hands clasped together, their faces filled with joy and happiness. It was as if they were having a beautiful dream, but when Zhou Yan looked closer, he realized that these people had lost all their senses.

They were people who were beyond dead.

After scanning the living people, Zhou Yan looked at Dami and Wuyu sitting opposite him.

Dami looked at Zhou Yan with a smile.

"Benefactor, you have kept this old monk waiting."

Zhou Yan nodded.

"I want to ask you something: do you know that you've already fallen into demonic possession?"

Damien nodded.

"The Great Demon is also the Great Compassionate One. Only after falling into demonic possession did this old monk realize how foolish and illogical his past actions were. Did this old monk not wish to eliminate calamities, human suffering, and the sorrow of all sentient beings?"

"Then you only need to do one thing."

Dami lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the displaced people sitting cross-legged below the building, his expression gentle as if he were looking at his own child.

"That is a world that allows everyone to fulfill their wishes."

Zhou Yan stared at Dami in astonishment.

Wuyu, standing beside Dami, explained with a faint smile.

"My teacher and I discussed that even the infinite resources in this world can't satisfy people. Humans need a hierarchy of contempt, and they need someone they can look down on in order to live well."

"As long as people exist in groups, conflicts between people will never be eliminated."

Chapter Twenty-Five: You guys really know how to play!

A strange thought popped into Zhou Yan's head, and he asked in bewilderment.

"So, you're not really planning to kill everyone, thinking that without people there will be no suffering, are you?"

The old monk Dami stood up with a smile, and then reached out a hand towards Zhou Yan.

When Zhou Yan first met the old monk Dami, he used his omniscience to see him, but the old monk seemed to be covered by something. After Zhou Yan looked over, all he could see were question marks and greetings. But now, as the old monk reached out his hand, Zhou Yan suddenly saw the question marks on Dami's body disappear one by one.

Damia's attribute panel popped up.

The Six Great Supernatural Powers: Divine Eye, Divine Ear, Telepathy, Knowledge of Past Lives, Divine Footwork, and Extinction of Defilements.

The Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand: A prototype of a small world, our little universe is even more advanced.

A swastika appeared on the palm of Da Mi's outstretched hand towards Zhou Yan. The swastika glowed faintly, exuding an indescribable Zen-like quality.

A cold laugh rang out from behind Zhou Yan.

Dami's outstretched hand towards Zhou Yan suddenly turned white and tender, with all the dead skin and hair falling off one by one. This old Arhat, who was over three hundred years old, already had an indestructible, delicate, and white body, but as he sneered, his hand began to change towards an inhuman whiteness.

In the blink of an eye, Damia's hands became whiter and more delicate than a baby's, surpassing the limits of human delicacy. But after reaching the limit, Damia's palms suddenly lost their color and developed patches of lividity.

The Azure Dragon, which was lying in ambush everywhere, eliminated the telomeres in Dami's body.

Telomeres are small protein complexes located at the ends of linear chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. Their function is to maintain chromosome integrity and control the cell division cycle.

In simple terms, human cells have a limit to their division, and this limit is controlled by telomeres. Every time a cell divides, the telomeres shrink a bit. When the telomeres can no longer shorten, the cell can no longer divide (a subtle little-known fact: cancer cells can divide indefinitely).

At this point, the cell reaches the generally accepted limit of 100 divisions and begins to die. Therefore, telomeres are considered the "biological clock".

The Azure Dragon removed all the telomeres from a portion of Dami's body, directly eliminating all the activity in that part of Dami's flesh.

Si Jida Mi's body passed away peacefully at the age of 41.

The old monk Dami stared at his arm for a moment, then shook his head.

Fourth, "amazing supernatural powers".

The old monk Dami stretched out his other hand to attack Zhou Yan, but as soon as the arm moved, it began to slowly turn iron-colored, starting from the fingertips.
