"This is really..."

Above the Heaven’s Court, all the Divine Generals, including Ziwei who had seen this scene before, couldn’t help but gasp.

She knew Old Liu was a ruthless person. Many people had witnessed how ruthless Old Liu could be during their encounters back then, but she never expected him to be ruthless to such an extent.

Moreover, the design was so clever that even these Divine Generals, who had been observing the whole process, were deceived.

No one had thought that the similarity in appearance between Chen Qing and the King of Qin would be used like this.

The technique was so ingenious; the key was that no one would have thought that in such a situation, Old Liu and Chen Qing were in collusion!

Truly terrifying...

"Back in the day, Old Yang mentored Old Liu all the way; really didn’t expect..." The Three-Eyed God General frowned and said.

"Ha..." Ziwei laughed coldly, "Wasn’t my father mentoring him back then too? He was a white-eyed wolf from the start, what’s so surprising? I just didn’t expect that even within the same camp, he would take action."

The Three-Eyed God General remained silent. Indeed, Old Yang and Elder Long were different; he and Old Liu were in the same camp. Even if there were differences of opinion, wasn’t this kind of behavior excessive before the Outer Demon was destroyed?

And what for?

--------------------------------

At this time, in front of the Buddhist Temple in Lyuzhou, the Vajra Buddha also asked the same question.

"The Buddha Lord and Old Liu knew each other well before the Digital Era. Back then, they had immense trust in each other. It was also because of the Buddha Lord’s support that Old Liu could gain a certain advantage in the subsequent Digital Era, getting a chance to contend with Elder Long and the others. "

"Though later, as there was no way to resolve the Otherworldly Demon Statues, Old Yang eventually devised a retreat strategy; it shouldn’t have led to this, right? I wonder what Old Liu is really thinking?"

Chen Qing looked at the other person. Outsiders might indeed find it incredible.

The price Old Liu paid this time wasn’t small; all the Buddhist Temples in Jiangnan were wiped out, which meant the most populous force in Jiangnan was abandoned by Old Liu.

Meanwhile, Old Liu deliberately lost the Space-Time Jade to weaken the opposing side’s abilities; it seems like harming others without benefiting oneself!

"It’s very simple..." Chen Qing sighed, "Elder Tianji is actually a manifestation of Old Liu."

Buddha: "...."

"I was always puzzled about which faction Elder Tianji belonged to. He was not part of the King of Qin’s faction, nor was he with us designers. He claimed to come from the Digital City military, but actually, he never disclosed his allegiance."

"It wasn’t until later that I realized, Old Liu let me continue to grow, including deliberately fostering the growth of the King of Qin.

The risks were immense, especially with the King of Qin, who almost sealed away all the ancients back then.

With his elderly scheming abilities, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of the King of Qin’s potential to succeed. "

"After all, Pu Yunchuan’s memory had immense power, which he knew very well."

"So what could be used to constantly monitor if the risks were controllable? What kind of person lurking beside the King of Qin would be least likely to be suspected and most capable of monitoring the King of Qin’s movements?"

"That would be Mister Tianji, who could decipher the Tianji!"

"Amitabha... So that’s how it is." Buddha heard the answer and after a long time, shook his head with a bitter smile.

The Buddha Lord had always used the ability to return to the past to try and plant a seed in the Thousand-Faced Fox, yet little did he know this method had long been used by Old Liu, planting the seed in Tianji itself. What a brilliant move!

Mister Tianji was adept at calculations, and if he were truly a manifestation of Old Liu, he could lock onto the Space-Time Jade’s location the moment it escaped.

Therefore, the death of the Past Buddha did not weaken Old Liu’s power; on the contrary, Old Liu would fully receive the Space-Time Jade.

"Many people believed that the suitable Dao for Old Liu was Life and Death Reincarnation, but it actually wasn’t." Chen Qing said quietly, "Past, present, future—think carefully, what is the most suitable Dao for Old Liu?"

"Future?" Buddha’s pupils shrank, "Could it be...."

-----------------------------------------------------

"Mister Tianji...."

In an unknown Buddha Kingdom domain, lotus platforms were blooming everywhere. Mister Tianji walked within it, each step accompanied by a lotus, as the entire domain was incredibly rich with Spiritual Energy, carrying an almost impossible dreamlike quality.

In this domain, everyone lived in extraordinary abundance and satisfaction, with no more suffering or conflict in the world.

This is the domain of the Future Buddha.

Inside the entire Buddha Kingdom, everyone knew that the Buddha Lord’s domain ultimately belonged to the future.

And the future Buddha Kingdom would be just like this scene, perfect and flawless.

Amidst the layers of lotus, a beautiful woman in white looked at the newcomer, her eyes full of complexity.

Her appearance was almost identical to Kagura from Yundu, but her temperament was distinctly different.

She was the very person of Kagura, one of the three Buddha Lords of the Buddha Kingdom: the Future Buddha Lord!

"Indeed, I never thought the Buddha Lord could make such a move."

Mister Tianji smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the entire Buddha Kingdom’s lotus visibly wilted, and the myriad of gods and Buddhas beneath the lotus platform all changed their expressions dramatically, as if facing a great enemy, yet none dared to use any Divine Skills to counter it.

That’s because above Tianji’s head, there hung the Past Buddha’s precious Dao Fruit: the Space-Time Jade!

"When did you start planning to act against us?" Kagura revealed a hint of bitterness on her face.

"From the moment it was determined the Heavenly Demon could not be stopped!" Tianji said coldly, "You were all evading, all delaying, but you all knew none of it would work. For three entire eras, the three major forces were immersed in the status quo, with not a shred of winning chance."

"So you want to kill us?" Kagura looked at him, "Without even considering giving us a single chance?"

"If Old Yang were still the Old Yang of the past, I would definitely turn my back on him again; he was once the most trustworthy comrade. But he grew cowardly and thought of avoiding with such useless methods; he was fundamentally unfit for the coming catastrophe. Therefore, he doesn’t deserve to hold onto the Past Buddha’s power anymore; precious power should belong in the hands of those who can use it! "

"So, am I already useless to you?" Kagura slowly stood up, "You granted me the future; will you take it back by your own hands?"

"I have always been loyal to you; you let me inherit the future, and I always thought I’d received your greatest approval, but... was I wrong?"

"Greatest approval..." Tianji looked at her, his gaze complex.

The past, present, and future, the Buddha Lord’s three forms connected by the Space-Time Jade, were to become the most complete Venerable One. This connection he had never done before was to distribute power.

Nurturing Kagura was also due to her extraordinary talent.

When this little girl stood before him back then, her incredible aptitude was dazzling, unmatched by any junior.

Thus, even his descendants could only become Buddhas, while this girl from Japan became the Future Buddha.

"What a pity..." Tianji said coldly, "If only... you weren’t from Japan..."

At the moment she heard this, Kagura’s face turned incredibly pale, and the massive lotus platform behind her withered instantly.

"So... that’s how it is!"
