Many people noticed that at the moment the four newcomers approached, the Buddha Light became larger and warmer than before. In the bone-chilling cold of winter, this warm Buddha Light was like the last salvation, causing everyone to excitedly lift their heads.

They felt it—their days of worship seemed about to bear fruit.

The four individuals also distinctively felt the difference and exchanged glances, but still mustered the courage to draw closer.

From afar, Chen Qing watched through the Thousand Eyes Technique, his eyes flickering with a cold light. He could sense that the owner of the Buddha Light was excited, having refrained from activating any seed before for fear of frightening away the truly capable individuals.

The Buddha was not foolish; it had been waiting all along, just for the arrival of those high-quality seeds.

To the people, the warm Buddha Light appeared as a beacon of hope, but in Chen Qing’s eyes, it was a blood-soaked gaping maw, finally ready to bare its fangs.

"All beings suffer, and it is all because of the karmic cycle of rebirth.

In your past lives, all of you were heroes.

Facing these tribulations now is also to atone for past misdeeds.

Now that the calamity of heaven and earth approaches, if you are willing to let go of your malevolent energy, then this karmic cycle can be ended.

Are you willing to struggle one more time for the sake of all beings? "

The voice was grand and majestic, reminding one of the evening drums and morning bells. Coupled with the warm Buddha Light, it aroused a sense of ardor in the people.

Of course, most people still wanted to get their hands on the abilities from their past lives first. As for the masses? Haha, when I was starving, did the masses take care of me?

"We are willing!"

Despite their varying thoughts, the responses came in unison.

Li Yankong and his companions also sneered covertly in obeisance. In this human world where the law of the jungle prevails, even in times without demon disasters, wasn’t it still a dog-eat-dog world?

The Bloodline Noble Families enjoyed the best resources, but when disaster struck, they thought of them, these people. And if there were no disasters, wouldn’t people like themselves be no better than street dogs—either starving to death or living a life of weakness?

"Well said, well said..."

A Buddhist chant echoed, and everyone seemed to resonate with it. When they looked up again, they discovered they were already in a different world.

Li Yankong experienced the same. As he looked up, he found himself inside a magnificent palace, with a group of officials in splendid attire kneeling before him, seemingly reporting something, while he himself was dressed in a black Dragon Robe, listening to reports from the top civil and military officials of the world.

He remembered it all... who he was.

His name was Murong Lisheng, the most outstanding leader of his generation in the Murong Ziyi Family, having died during a revolt by the Holy Clan Elder!

"Your Majesty, the Spiritual Energy in various places is becoming unstable.

The High Priest has detained Princess Ziyue and has yet to give a clear explanation.

Your servant has received a secret report that the Supreme Elder and others are plotting to raise an army, with conclusive evidence.

Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation of the Ancestral Holy Elder! "

With these words, the atmosphere in the entire hall turned icy cold. Li Yankong was stunned, and goosebumps immediately ran down his entire body.

What he remembered... the Sorcerer Dynasty was in chaos today.

The Ancestral Holy Elder revolted, shooting the Emperor on the spot, Master Zhang used Heavenly Thunder to suppress the Imperial Army, the Five-Colored Families suffered heavy casualties, and that generation of Elders. .. almost completely wiped out!

Yes, he remembered, after that, the world was in chaos, and not long after, he was chased down and killed by the people of Yundu...

Having realized this, Li Yankong hurriedly scanned his surroundings. If his memory served him right, someone from the Zhang Family would soon appear, followed by the top-level Weapon that the Five-Colored Noble Families had not anticipated: the Four Holy Army!

At this moment, the one who found all this most unbelievable was still Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was still in the thatched hut far away, but through the Thousand Eyes Technique, he could see scene after scene of illusions...

No... these could hardly be called illusions anymore.

Logical illusions should only deceive the eyes of the afflicted, but this was clearly different. The perspective conveyed by the Thousand Eyes Technique couldn’t possibly be an illusion, right?

Chen Qing took a deep breath. Pu YunChuan’s original design primarily focused on the abilities of demons, while the top-level Divine Skills and worldview amongst the forces were designed by another supervisor.

Particularly, the design of the Buddha Kingdom had almost no involvement from Pu YunChuan.

Especially that concept of "One Flower One World" in the later stages of the Buddha Kingdom!

Chen Qing had long been pondering what exactly it was that the Buddha Kingdom relied on to rejuvenate.

Even if they could awaken those powerful beings from previous lives, most of them were just ordinary people in this life after all.

How could they enable this group of heroes, who had awakened their memories, to quickly regain their strength?

In this world, resources were scarce; including the strong ones from past lives, where would they find enough resources for them?

But now, it seemed that Chen Qing had been thinking amiss. The divine skills of the Buddha Kingdom were probably somewhat unreasonable.

Watching those four individuals confront events from different times and spaces, with scenes so vivid that even the Thousand Eyes Technique couldn’t discern the elemental fluctuations around them, Chen Qing had a conjecture.

Are these dream realm worlds real or fake?

Inside the Buddha Kingdom’s dream realm that fosters enlightenment, can it truly affect the real world? If it can... does that mean...

Chen Qing swallowed hard; if that was the case... this power would be too exaggerated.

No wonder Old Liu later surpassed others, even rising with the help of the Shenwu Guild to rival the three ancient guilds that came before.

"Sir..."

A feeble female voice sounded from the side: "The meal is ready, would you like to dine first, sir?"

The woman who spoke was Li Yankong’s wife.

"You and the children eat first. I still need a moment," Chen Qing said, his attention fully focused on the visions in those four eyes.

"Yes..." The woman was very understanding, not daring to glance at the floating eyes while she spoke.

Chen Qing did not pay much attention to this considerate woman; all his focus was on the four different scenes, and he had to quickly find a pattern.

After all, even if the things in the dream realm world could become reality, there certainly must be rules.

It couldn’t just be randomness brought into reality, or the Buddha Kingdom would have long unified the world.

After all, if illusion could completely replace reality, what would other powers have to do with it?

The key question was what these rules were? And how could he steal them?

This was crucial...

At this moment, Chen Qing’s main attention turned to Li Yankong, the other three were also in trouble, but Chen Qing wasn’t very clear about those eras and didn’t know what the subsequent situation was like, hence it was difficult to judge.

But it was different with Li Yankong. Chen Qing recognized at a glance that the Imperial Palace there was identical to the Imperial Palace in Yundu.

Combining that with the clothing of the five-colored families below, he almost deduced that it was during the Sorcerer Dynasty era.

Especially considering the words just reported by the leading minister.

Princess Ziyue has been controlled and imprisoned for a long time, the Elder Lineage is secretly plotting rebellion...

Wasn’t this the time when Ziyue was imprisoned?

Chen Qing had listened carefully to Ziyue’s account of those days.

Back then, her escape was not only due to the help of the Demon Statue but also because of the unrest outside.

At that time, the Ancient Demon Clan had already noticed that powers were paying attention to them.

They had to destroy the Sorcerer Dynasty as quickly as possible and conceal the Ancient Demon Clan’s strength.

It was also for this reason that the Elder Lineage decided to overthrow the Sorcerer Dynasty and plunge the entire world into chaos.

Only with chaos in the world would those awakened guild forces shift their attention away from them.

And Li Yankong was experiencing the beginning of that chaotic era!

Chen Qing stared intently at Li Yankong’s location; Buddha wouldn’t send him back to this timespace, to this memory, for no reason.

Clearly, during this period, the head of the Purple Garment Family must have taken some measures, and it was probably at this time that they made contact with the Buddha Kingdom!
