Soon, many of the hesitating trialists sent their ‘drowned’ friends and family into the healing circle. Alex stole a couple of glances at them and said nothing. As long as they paid a lot for the treatment, they could send them in anytime they wished.
The Mystic Maiden received the treatment fee invigoratingly and beamed with joy. “Sir, please enter,” favonovel.com almost screamed.
Someone took advantage of the confusion during the period and left after dropping the ‘drowned’ trialists. Mystic Maiden pulled favonovel.com back, as a result, pinning favonovel.com to the ground, and searched his body, snatching all the storage rings on him.
The man shouted, “Robbery! You’re unreasonable! Even if it is for the treatment, you don’t need that much, do you?”
Mystic Maiden indifferently said, “Your actions were just like a robbery. If you want to rob us of our treatment, then you’ll need to have the consciousness of being robbed clean… You can ask the others. Am I out of line?”
Someone immediately echoed, “You aren’t. You aren’t out of line at all.”
Those people had paid for the treatment, and their kin was still undergoing treatment, so they naturally had to defend the healer.
Within a few minutes, one awakened one after another, most of them suffering second -stage drowning. However, some were at stage one, so one could just say that some powerhouses among them still managed to resist the Grand Bodhisattva’s mental domain, and they could be saved.
As a result, many were willing to pay the ‘fee’. Some might never be resurrected, but what if they could be saved?
How would they know if Alex hadn’t informed them?
Shelly and the Grand Bodhisattva saw everything that happened over there.
The dejected Grand Bodhisattva pointed at Alex and said, “Rachel, did you see it? That behavior of his is a scam and deception. He cheated the hard-earned resources of people just like that. How could someone like that surpass me in the Buddha’s Heart? I really can’t seem to understand.”
Shelly smiled. “What do you not understand? Do you think your Buddha’s Heart is more powerful than his? But, putting aside his image of reaping its profits, look… Hasn’t favonovel.com saved many people? If those people hadn’t undergone the treatment, wouldn’t they be basically dead? And, you’d have been the cause of their deaths.”
“With such a comparison, you should know who is superior and inferior at a glance.”
“The path of Buddhism isn’t about the process, but it’s about karma.”
“Grand Bodhisattva, you’ve strayed onto the wrong path. The so-called path that you insist on will only embarrass Buddhism.”
The Grand Bodhisattva grimaced. He shook his body. “Was I really wrong?”
Shelly said, “You’re wrong. You’re walking the demonic path.”
The Grand Bodhisattva looked at Alex again and asked, “So, will favonovel.com lead the Buddhist path back to its pinnacle? He has a wife and children and is unfaithful to women. He doesn’t possess any Buddhist traits at all. Under his leadership, wouldn’t the Western Paradise become a lustful paradise?”
“What is a Buddha?”
Shelly’s red clothes fluttered as favonovel.com pressed favonovel.com finger on Grand’s brow.
“If you feel like a Buddha, you will become one!”
“You don’t become a Buddha from a vegan diet and chanting Buddhist verses! Likewise, lighting up an oil lamp before the Buddha’s statue also won’t turn you into a Buddha!”
“Buddhism is a path. It is instant enlightenment. It is boundless. It is wisdom. It is a way of the heart. It is life.”
Boom!
The Grand Bodhisattva’s brow glowed with dazzling light. He pondered for a long while before finally clasping his hands and shouting the Buddha’s name.
He sat cross-legged on Persephone’s Folly Bridge with a pink lotus appearing above his head. Then, in a brief moment, flames descended and landed on Grand’s crown.
Fire enveloped him.
The Grand Bodhisattva abandoned his body and became a Buddha. The god of the Underworld’s flesh turned into ashes. Eventually, that Buddhist lotus floated above Alex’s head.
And so, there was no more Underworld nor was there a Grand Bodhisattva.
Only a Buddhist lotus remained.
