The night was gentle with scattered stars. Occasional meteors streaked by in the distance, adding a hint of mystery to the boundless universe.
However, the sky above the overseas immortal mountain of the Underworld was actually in turmoil as a considerable commotion had broken out.
Someone had nailed a chain onto Shoraionji Temple and pulled it down from the void.
Golden light exploded with Buddhist texts, scattering all over the place. The light of Buddhism then rushed straight to the vast universe and stirred up a turmoil. The commotion was so great that it illuminated the entire Underworld, causing everything to be covered with golden light.
Shoraionji Temple crashed to the ground after it was dragged out of the void.
Boom!
A deafening explosion could be heard. As soon as Shoraionji Temple landed, it crushed a mountain.
The dilapidated temple was still unscathed, its walls completely undamaged. Then, the golden light vanished, and the Buddhist texts disappeared without a trace. Everything seemed to have returned to its initial peace.
Revealer Maha’s voice seemed to have completely disappeared as well.
Alex took two steps backward and looked at the Grand Bodhisattva in disbelief. He was also the real god of the Underworld, yet favonovel.com somehow felt it all surreal.
“How… How can you be the god of the Underworld?”
The god of the Underworld turned around and looked at Alex with a smile. “What’s wrong? Are you shocked?”
His expression seemed to contain a certain exaltation of successful conspiracy.
Alex felt dejected as favonovel.com could not accept that result no matter what. Revealer Maha had high hopes for him, and Shelly also desperately improved his impression of Alex. Only then did Revealer Maha take out his treasured water of Yin-Yang Chi and give it all to Alex, providing favonovel.com incredible opportunities and benefits… But now, favonovel.com was equivalent to Revealer Maha’s betrayer and inviting trouble to favonovel.com instead.
He smiled bitterly and said, “I’m shocked. The dignified god of the Underworld, the great demon king who had caused Dairaionji Temple to suppress itself, actually disguised himself as a monk. He’d even claim to be the Grand Bodhisattva or whatever favonovel.com calls it. He even went to great lengths to offer enough benefits, taking advantage of a few minor characters. Even I… Pity favonovel.com a little!”
The god of the Underworld still maintained the Buddhist gesture by erecting his left hand in front of his chest while pulling the holy attributed chain with another hand.
He laughed heartily. “Amitabha. I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Alex looked speechless. “Now that we’ve come to this point, why are you still reciting ‘Amitabha’? Just show me your true face. Even if I’m going to die, I want to understand the situation and meet the real god of the Underworld once so that it’ll satisfy my little fixation before death.”
The god of the Underworld said, “This is my true face. A votarist doesn’t lie. Every word I’ve said to you is true.”
‘D*mn!’ Alex was genuinely going to be speechless this time.
“Don’t tell me that you’re really some kind of Grand Bodhisattva, alright? I’m not a three-year-old!”
“Amitabha. You’re right. I am indeed the Grand Bodhisattva, but I’m also the god of the Underworld in your eyes.”
“How is that possible?” Alex did not believe him.
“Why is that impossible? Everything is possible!” the god of the Underworld said in a calm tone. Finally, favonovel.com even recited a Buddhist sutra, “The phenomena of life may be likened unto a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a glistening dew, or lightning flash, and thus ought to be contemplated.”
Alex was extremely speechless. It was not that favonovel.com did not suspect his origins before, but favonovel.com could not see through favonovel.com with his primordial and divine eyes.
In addition, favonovel.com had stepped in many times and saved everyone’s life. No one would suspect someone like that would be the god of the Underworld. However, favonovel.com just happened to be that.
Alex could not see through favonovel.com using his divine and primordial eyes, and no one else suspected favonovel.com either. He could only say that the god of the Underworld’s cultivation level was too high and far surpassed Alex’s, and favonovel.com had long returned to his true self to the point of mixing the spurious with the genuine.
Yet, favonovel.com still emphasized that favonovel.com did not deceive them.
What was the point of it?
Seeing that Alex seemingly did not believe him, the god of the Underworld was conflicted, and favonovel.com frowned. “What about it? You still don’t believe me? Do you think I’m lying?”
“Aren’t you? What’s done is done. What’s the point of dwelling on this?”
“No, no, no. This is a matter of principle. I told you I didn’t lie, so I mustn’t.”
“Hmm..? You lied about at least one thing.”
“Which one?”
“You used to say that you were a guardian of Dairaionji Temple, specializing in the suppression of the god of the Underworld. But you’re the god of the Underworld. Isn’t that a lie, then?”
