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

Bo Xun's fiery eyes stared at Zhou Yan, who was grinning savagely in Nuwa's arms (from Bo Xun's perspective).

"You bastard, you're not allowed to interfere in my affairs anymore!"

Nuwa remained firmly on Zhou Yan's side.

"Is my little white rabbit the Heavenly Emperor? No, why can't he interfere in human affairs?"

Zhou Yan echoed.

"Yes, yes, I'm just a child. I just wanted to take care of my friends and relatives. What did I do wrong?!"

"Not being allowed to participate means you can't directly get involved in your resurrection of Buddha, right?"

Little Yama stepped out, the little girl looking down with a haughty air at Bo Xun. +＋☆′∮≌?

"As long as Xiao Yan doesn't show up, there won't be any problems, right?"

The position of the plane of the volcano changed slightly.

Zhou Yan himself is not strong in combat, but his supernatural abilities are very suitable for use as a support. Therefore, it doesn't matter if Zhou Yan doesn't appear directly. As long as Zhou Yan can still help with planning, then at most he will lose the position of director. The screenwriter and such can still be played by this beast.

"no!"

Bo Xun said solemnly.

"I mean, this beast!"

Bo Xun pointed at Zhou Yan.

"You are not allowed to do anything!"

Zhou Yan looked at Nuwa pitifully, and Nuwa immediately stood up for him.

"Our agreement only applies to gods of the Heavenly Emperor level! Do you need me to explain to you word by word what a Heavenly Emperor is?"

Mara asked in return.

"So there's no room for negotiation?!"

This is the sixth day. Although he was seriously injured by Nuwa and the Emperor of Fengdu in the mortal world, Bo Xun is confident that he can make Nuwa and the Emperor of Fengdu suffer here as well!

Nuwa said calmly.

"If you want to fight, that's fine too. Whether you want to fight for a hundred years or a year, Nuwa is ready!"

Mara's expression was still somewhat off. Mara didn't care that he had been fighting Nuwa for thousands of years. As the Heavenly Emperor with endless lifespan, thousands of years were just a short moment to him.

However, a prolonged battle might affect the Buddha's resurrection.

Mara didn't want his beloved to be resurrected and suffer any mishaps over such a trivial matter.

and so……

"Shall we make a deal?"

After much deliberation, Mara finally spoke.

Nuwa shook her head.

"Humans and demons are all my children. I will not harm my own children for some trivial benefits!"

Reviving Buddha would bring consequences that even the Heavenly Emperor could not predict. It might even cause the already nearly collapsed human world to shatter even more. Nuwa could not bear such consequences no matter what.

"It is a joke," said Mara.

"Alright, alright, my dear lady and..."

Bo Xun's gaze swept over Zhou Yan, Little Yama, the Emperor of Fengdu, and Nuwa.

“The other friends…”

When Bo Xun said the word "friend," his gaze focused on Zhou Yan's face. The look in his eyes was incredible. Zhou Yan felt that for Bo Xun to give him that look, his skills in creating evil were truly unique.

"I can give you some information that you definitely don't know."

Mara smiled smugly.

“Three hundred years ago, the future Buddha Maitreya came to the Sixth Heaven and discussed the Dharma with me. Guess what that fat Maitreya and I discussed?”

Zhou Yan peeked out from Nuwa's embrace and exclaimed in surprise.

"Three hundred years ago!? Don't tell me you're involved in that great disaster!?"

Mara nodded. (Pop)

"There is indeed some connection, but not much. If you want to pin the responsibility for this disaster on me, then I can only say that I am the scapegoat."

Little Yama was also curious.

"Stop talking about taking the blame or not. Tell me, what did Maitreya want when he came to find you in the first place?"

Both Xiao Yanjun and Zhou Yan had actually fought against Maitreya Buddha and the Past Buddha. Although Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun had determined that Maitreya Buddha and the Past Buddha were the culprits of that great calamity, in reality, neither Maitreya Buddha nor the Past Buddha were evil people. 6

In the past, when the Buddha was still plotting against Zhou Yan, he destroyed His golden body and rescued Zhou Yan.

Both Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun were curious about what the Future Buddha and the Past Buddha had done to end up doing bad things with good intentions.

Bo Xun took a deep breath and then exhaled.

“When Maitreya came, I took out my most beautiful daughters to greet him.”

Zhou Yan clicked his tongue. What kind of welcome was this? It was probably just seduction.

Combat:

Chapter 683, Chapter Eleven: The Solution

Mara will always remember that three hundred years later, on the sixth day after the arrival of the big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, as the future Buddha and the Buddha's direct disciple, the entire sixth day was slightly rippled by the appearance of this powerful figure who was close to the Heavenly Emperor.

As the ruler of the Sixth Heaven, Mara, who is considered an incarnation of the Sixth Heavenly Dao, immediately sensed Maitreya's presence.

Although Buddha and Mara had fought, and Mara secretly attacked the people of the Buddha's sect, they were all prominent figures. After sensing Maitreya, Mara would not immediately lead his entire family to beat Maitreya. Instead, he found a professional team and had his most beautiful and sensible daughter lead them to meet Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha, this pot-bellied, bald guy who looks just like all the stinky otaku in the anime, showed the demeanor of someone worthy of being the future Buddha when he met the Heavenly Demoness.

The Heavenly Demonesses spoke until their lips blistered and their Heavenly Demonic Arts made their eyes bloodshot, but Maitreya Buddha just smiled and remained silent, showing no sign of having any romantic thoughts.

Maitreya Buddha was surrounded by the demonesses and arrived at Mara's demon palace. Mara invited the best chef of the sixth day to prepare a feast for Maitreya Buddha.

During the banquet, Mara asked Maitreya Buddha what was on the sixth day of his visit.

Maitreya Buddha's answer puzzled Mara.

Bo Xun looked at Nuwa with a complicated expression.

“At the banquet, Maitreya Buddha told me that he had come to ask me for answers to his questions.”

When Maitreya Buddha posed this question, even someone as knowledgeable as Mara was momentarily overwhelmed and nearly spilled the wine in his hand.

Can you imagine?

Mara was overjoyed.

"The future Buddha of the Western Pure Land, a disciple of Shakyamuni, actually didn't seek the Buddha's guidance, but instead came to me to ask about the great doubt in His heart."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Zhou Yan struggled to free his little head from Nuwa's embrace so he could better see Mara.

"Tell me what Maitreya Buddha asked you!"

Zhou Yan always felt that the great disaster that Maitreya Buddha later caused might have been guided by Mara. Of course, this guidance was not necessarily Mara deliberately deceiving Maitreya Buddha, but rather Maitreya Buddha's own misunderstanding.

After all, Maitreya Buddha could have asked anyone else, but instead asked Mara, a completely self-centered fellow, who was too easily led astray.

Mara laughed heartily.

"Don't be in such a hurry. You don't know, when Maitreya Buddha asked me for answers, I found it very interesting. So I asked Maitreya Buddha why he didn't ask the Buddha for answers instead of coming to me, the King of Heavenly Demons."

“The four guys from Maitreya Buddha said that in fact, Buddha is also a demon, and demon is also a Buddha. Buddha wants to save all sentient beings and help eight sentient beings up, while demon only saves one person. From some perspectives, Buddha and demon are doing the same thing.”

"Therefore, what He could not obtain from Buddha, He wanted to obtain from me, the Demon King."

"He asked, 'How can all beings be freed from birth, old age, sickness, and death, and attain eternal self?'"

Zhou Yan had heard this before, and he tentatively asked.

"What did you say?"

Mara began to shake his head. Even the Heavenly Demon King, even the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of the Sixth Heaven, had some things he couldn't do. Maitreya Buddha's question stumped Mara, leaving him at a loss for words.

"I thought about it for a long time, and then I said I didn't know."

"We Heavenly Demons have always sought out one person for amusement. How could we treat all living beings as objects of our possession? I even said at the time, 'Is Maitreya perhaps looking for me to cooperate with, to find all the Heavenly Demons to possess mortals, and then turn every mortal into a demon?'"

"The result was not... Maitreya just wanted to ask how to liberate every mortal and attain great bliss."

Bo Xun sneered.

"It is impossible to attain liberation and ultimate bliss. Ordinary people are ignorant and foolish, and most of them are immersed in their own desires. Only a minority are willing to abandon their desires and seek their true selves. I advise Maitreya, He is already a Buddha. Why bother to work so hard and diligently? We came into this world to enjoy life, didn't we?"

"Why not convert to my faith, and I will lead Him to ultimate bliss?"

"Maitreya left after not getting anything from me."

"But I think Maitreya is troubled."

Mara looked pleased.

"So, I secretly used some tricks to follow this guy and see what this big-bellied Buddha was up to." (≤)

Zhou Yan interjected at the opportune moment.

“Madam, no, Shakyamuni, you wouldn’t want other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to know about your disciples’ affairs, would you?”

Bo Xun's gaze towards Zhou Yan softened somewhat for some reason.

Zhou Yan knew that Mara was not staring at the Future Buddha because the Future Buddha had caused any trouble or because he was curious, but rather because he was collecting evidence to deceive the Buddha in the future.

As Zhou Yan said, "Shakyamuni, you wouldn't want other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to know about your disciples' affairs, would you?"

"I followed the Future Buddha for a long time, and then I met the Future Buddha and went into the Bodhi Temple of the Past Buddha. The two great Buddhas talked together about how to save the world and how to universally deliver all sentient beings. Finally, the Future Buddha said..."

Bo Xun's voice began to stir with excitement.

"All living beings can become gods. He wants all things and all living beings to possess divinity and become immortal and indestructible gods of bliss!"

Little Yama and Zhou Yan exchanged a glance. They had heard these words before, at the Great Vow Temple in Mount Ling when they were rescuing the Medicine Buddha. Because this matter involved a deeper level of meme virus, neither Zhou Yan nor Little Yama had thought about this information in depth. Now, however, they had heard it from Mara's side.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask, "What about daily updates of novels?"

"How can everyone become a god?"

Little Yama said in a deep voice.

"Not everyone is qualified to become a god. Without morality and inherent character, mortals are mostly more demonic than Buddha-like. If everyone became a god, even..."

Little Yama said firmly.

"There are more demons than gods. Hasn't the future Buddha considered this?"

Many people have offered interpretations of human nature, such as the idea that human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. However, I believe that the fundamental nature of human nature is self-interest. Therefore, regardless of the interpretation, within a sufficiently large and diverse range, human nature is purely self-interested, and there are more bad people than good people.

The peace and stability of society today is mainly due to the fear and intimidation caused by the government's violent institutions. However, when the government's power fails, countless historical examples prove that human nature cannot withstand the test.

What were the Buddha's true intentions in allowing someone who hadn't been tested to become a god?

Aren't you afraid that Heaven will be taken over by a bunch of villains and demons, and that the sixth day will be better than Heaven?

Mara did not answer, but spoke to Nuwa instead.

"You all know what happened next, right? The future Buddha and the past Buddha still did that thing after all..."

Nuwa remained silent.

“I am better than you, when you discover that this world has been torn apart by the future Buddha and the past Buddha.”

Mara placed one hand on his chest.

“I personally witnessed how the Buddhas of the past and the Buddhas of the future attained all of this.”

"But now, the Buddha of the past is dead, and the Buddha of the future is still alive."

“I can provide you with information about the future Buddha so that you can kill him.”

Nuwa's expression shifted slightly.

Is this really true?
