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

Little Yama snapped his fingers, and several ghost messengers came out and escorted the two away to suffer in the Avici Hell.

It took Little Yama a whole day to resolve the ghost problem in the entire Chu capital.

It rained heavily all day, but the rain lessened a bit the next day. Perhaps it was because the power drawn from the past was too great, but Little Yama saw flowers and tender shoots of weeds blooming on some land in Chu Capital that had been submerged in Yin energy for a long time.

The next day at noon, Little Yama left the Abyss Underworld, where Chu Capital was located, braving the heavy rain.

When they flew close to the ground, Little Yama's phone got a signal and started ringing.

Upon opening them, most of the messages were promotional messages from various apps, a small portion were from Wu Quxing, and an even smaller portion were from Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan's message was rather subtle; it simply said that Little Yanjun should call him when he had time.

This is interesting.

Little Yama dialed Zhou Yan's number.

"Xiao Yan, is there something you need?"

"Well, I... I did some investigation..."

Zhou Yan recounted the experiences of those who had investigated and participated in the world he had witnessed.

"I've noticed that people I know well and have had a lot of contact with in the past or future seem to have undergone some abnormal changes that didn't happen in the past after I solved the problems in those worlds..."

"It's like the name of the elementary school has changed, my old friends have changed from male to female, and there are some other subtle changes that are different from before."

"Brother Yan, do you think these people changed because we went to save the Bodhisattva and Buddha of Mount Ling?"

Little Yama remained silent for a moment.

"Xiao Yan, can you handle it?"

To learn the secrets of Mount Ling, one must obtain the meme virus; the more detailed the knowledge, the greater the harm from the meme virus.

Therefore, Little Yama had heard what the Emperor of Fengdu had told her, but she kept it a secret and never told Zhou Yan or Wuquxing.

"It should be possible; I still have the capacity."

After Zhou Yan guessed the secret, his nose bled profusely, but at least he managed to hold on without getting injured. In that state, Zhou Yan didn't even activate his mythical form.

Zhou Yan felt he could learn more secrets, so he couldn't help but come to Little Yama to discuss it.

"Xiao Yan, if you knew, it wouldn't be a bad thing..."

The little Yama King inside the Siyou Imperial Carriage pointed to the curtain of the Siyou Imperial Carriage.

The mummified eunuchs inside the Siyou Imperial Carriage walked towards the curtain and left one by one.

"You know Xiao Yan, right?"

……

Dongyang Prefecture, Luomen City Government, Zhou Yan's bedroom.

While stroking Su Xiaowan's fur, Zhou Yan held his phone to his ear and said...

"Know what?"

The voice of Little Yama came from the phone speaker. Zhou Yan cast a spell to control the sound so that the Nine-Colored Deer, Su Xiaowan, and Mu Chongba beside him could not hear it.

"The future Buddha, seeing the suffering of humanity, wants to find a way to save everyone."

Zhou Yan knew what Little Yama had said, and he knew it very well.

Little Yama continued.

"Xiao Yan, you're saying that our method of saving Ling Mountain can even alter the past and future? Is this the method the Future Buddha spoke of for saving humanity?"

Zhou Yan stopped stroking Su Xiaowan. Su Xiaowan, who was wrapped around Zhou Yan's lap, felt something hit her white hair. It didn't hurt, but the feeling was very obvious.

Su Xiaowan couldn't help but look up at Zhou Yan.

"elder brother!"

Su Xiaowan screamed as she saw blood dripping from Zhou Yan's nostrils. The Nine-Colored Deer beside him also came up, and its auspicious light shone on Zhou Yan, slowing down the flow of blood from his nose.

Zhou Yan pressed down on Su Xiaowan's head and shook his head at the nine-colored deer beside him.

"I'm fine."

"The nine-colored deer said weakly."

"Brother, are you feeling hot-tempered? I heard Uncle Zhang say that hot-tempered people can have nosebleeds. I'll get you some cucumbers to eat later."

Nine-Colored Deer heard Uncle Zhang say that he had nosebleeds due to internal heat, and the treatment was to eat cold cucumber salad.

Zhou Yan chuckled dryly and spoke into his phone.

"I understand, so, Brother Yan..."

Zhou Yan took a breath, and the meme virus raged through his body, forcing him to reveal his mythical form.

Once the mythical form appeared, I felt much better physically, and the nosebleeds stopped.

"Have you ever thought that since we can change the world by saving Buddhas and Bodhisattvas..."

In the past few days, Zhou Yan has investigated Leng Qing, Lin Anru, Mu Yuan and a series of other people, and compared the present with the changes made by these people due to changes in the past and future.

The comparison results were surprising. Zhou Yan discovered that the current level of modification was conceptual; a person's gender, memory, and the amount of material possessions could all be controlled.

For example, in Lin'an Ru's hometown, that place was originally an ordinary place with nothing there, but when Zhou Yan went to investigate, he discovered that there was a gold mine that had suddenly appeared underneath it.

What caused the decline of the Eastern Xia Federation?

The more people there are, the more resources there are. So people compete, and those who can't compete become part of the unemployment rate.

As mentioned before, what did ancient nomadic tribes do when their population grew and they ran out of meat?

fight!

If you win, you can eat other people's cattle and sheep; if you lose, you'll lose your own surplus population.

Ultimately, it all comes down to whether there are enough resources. If there are enough resources, let alone involution or unemployment, even if the federal government creates 20,000 jobs—10,000 for digging and 10,000 for filling—there's no problem with a monthly salary of $30,000.

Therefore, if this can save the Buddha and Bodhisattvas and provide additional resources, such as all the resources of the Eastern Xia Alliance Kingdom originally having a value of 1, and if they can be modified to become 1.5 or even 2.5, Zhou Yan can guarantee that the involution that originally appeared a hundred years later can be extended for another hundred years.

Then there will be no need to worry about whether there are enough resources, because Zhou Yan felt that in two hundred years, scientists on Earth should be able to leave Earth and colonize the solar system.

When Zhou Yan came to Dongyangzhou and saw the bustling streets, he wondered how to resolve the internal strife a hundred years later. He couldn't possibly imitate Zhongdou Xingjun again and have a pandemic wipe out a third of the population before creating a new era of glory, could he?

Isn't there a very suitable way to solve involution without losing anyone?

Nine, rely on the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who save Mount Ling to change reality!

Moreover, they have succeeded several times on their own, and saving the Buddha and Bodhisattvas of Mount Ling does not seem difficult.

"Little Yama interrupted from the other end of the phone."

"The idea is good, but think about the fate of the future Buddha and the past Buddha..."

Surrounding: "Σ(°△°|||)"

Thirdly, looking at the appearance of Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court, it seems that going down this path is a wrong turn.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan said.

"It's possible that the future Buddha and the past Buddha encountered some accidents. I think we should find these future Buddhas and past Buddhas and find out their thoughts and plans."

The Five Little Yama Kings chimed in.

"Then, if it seems successful, you will take over and do the unfinished work of the future Buddha and the past Buddha?"

Zhou Yan smiled wryly.

"It's not that exaggerated. My small frame can't bear the weight of humanity's future. What we mean is that we don't necessarily have to completely inherit the plans of the future Buddha and the past Buddha."

Little Yama asked.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that I only want resources and don't want to solve other problems. So as long as I master the method of controlling the changes in reality, I can save the Buddha once and eliminate an internal strife."

Zhou Yan had heard the Bodhisattva of Joy say that the future Buddha Maitreya hoped there would be no more suffering in the world. Zhou Yan didn't have the heart of the future Buddha, so he kept it simple. To avoid repeating the mistakes of the future Buddha and the past Buddha, he only needed to have the ability to modify reality.

In this way, every time Zhou Yan went to save the Buddha or Bodhisattva, he brought back a lot of resources for humanity, ensuring that everyone could have something to eat.

Of course, the premise for doing so is that Zhou Yan needs to know how to use Mount Ling to modify reality and how to make the modified reality operate according to his own ideas.

Little Yama remained silent for a long while.

"This idea is indeed feasible... Xiao Yan, it seems you promised Mara you'd go to Bojiuti Temple?"

Bodhi Temple was the place where Dipankara Buddha practiced in the past. In addition, Mara asked Zhou Yan to go to Bodhi Temple, so Zhou Yan guessed that Dipankara Buddha was probably in there.

Therefore, if you want to understand the plans of the future Buddha and the past Buddhas, going to Bodhi Temple is the most suitable option.

"Well, I'll go visit Bodhi Temple later. Brother Yan, you can..."

“We can take our time with Bodhi Temple. Let’s finish what we need to do first. The matter of Tianzhu cannot be delayed.”

"Okay, so what's our next goal?"

Zhou Yan heard a low laugh from Little Yama.

"Let's go to the Great Sage Temple."

Zhou Yan became curious.

Who are the gods and Buddhas inside the Great Sage Temple?

"The Victorious Fighting Buddha".

Chapter Six says

“Councilor Zhou…”

Just after hanging up with Xiao Yanjun, Zhou Yan heard voices outside his bedroom door. The voices were familiar; it should be Wei Youde.

"Mayor Wei, what brings you here to see me?"

As Zhou Yan spoke, he walked to the bedroom door and opened it.

Outside the door stood Wei Youde, who had been appointed mayor of Luomen City by Zhou Yan.

When Xiao Yanjun introduced Wei Youde to Zhou Yan before, Wei Youde was just a low-level civil servant in Zhongzhou City. Although he was arrogant, he still had the liveliness of an ordinary person in front of Zhou Yan. But now, Wei Youde has a kind of weight that normal people don't have, like a principal standing on a podium or a mayor on a TV.

Zhou Yan sighed. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

"Mayor Wei, you must have been having a very comfortable time lately, right?"

Wei Youde said respectfully.

"It's all thanks to Councilor Zhou. By the way, Councilor Zhou, I heard you're back, so I'm throwing a banquet and planning to invite all the councilors from the surrounding state governments..."

Zhou Yan immediately refused.

"I don't like this kind of messy stuff, you guys can participate on your own."

Zhou Yan was about to close the door, but before he could, Wei Youde quickly reached out and pulled the door shut.

The mayor, who was known locally for his ability to decide the life and death of countless people with a single sentence, said nervously.

"Councilor Zhou, you can't miss this banquet!"

Zhou Yan looked puzzled.

"Why can't we not participate?"

Wei Youde smiled wryly.

"Because during this period, our National Guard has been out looting."

Zhou Yan read the passage through with his omniscience and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Since he made an appearance in the Congressional live broadcast and was confirmed to be the true god, Zhou Yan, a small state like Dongyang, has become restless.

Almost all political science professors predicted that, whether Zhou Yan liked it or not, the area around Dongyang Prefecture would be Zhou Yan's exclusive domain, and that anything Zhou Yan said or did would cause commotion in several major prefectures near Dongyang Prefecture.

The only problem is that Zhou Yan has already delegated all the power in Dongyang Prefecture to professionals because of the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar. These professionals are not exactly what Zhou Yan wanted; they just need to manage their own little plot of land.

They began to consider integrating several nearby states.

In industrial science, there is a professional term called "scale effect".

This means that the larger the scale of your production of a certain industrial product, the higher the cost will be.

For example, if you produce 500 tons of iron a year, it will definitely have a lower cost and a lower selling price than if you produce 5000 tons of iron a year.
