Before Lin Yan could ask, the old monk said, “Young friend, do you know why the God’s Domain didn’t come earlier or later? Why did it have to come now?”
Lin Yan already had an answer in his heart. “Your Buddha Creation Plan is about to be completed!”
“That’s right. Actually, a year ago, the true spirit of the Buddha in this Buddha corpse was already exhausted. Our Buddha Creation Plan was only one step away.
“From that day onwards, the power of the Buddha was inevitably leaked and attracted the attention of the God’s Domain.
“From then on, I tried my best to use the Heavenly Eight Dragons Array to suppress the power of the new Buddha.
“However, 1 was still careless, causing the power of the Buddha to leak out a few times, causing the mountains to collapse and the ground to crack. It also took another step forward, causing the search of the God’s Domain…”
Lin Yan’s breathing tightened slightly as he hurriedly interrupted, “You’re saying that the previous earthquakes were all caused by the leakage of Buddha’s power?”
“That’s right.”
Lin Yan hesitated for a moment and asked solemnly, “If someone fell unconscious every time there was an earthquake and Medicinal Stone couldn’t treat them, what would be the reason?”
The old monk, Wang Yue, was puzzled. “Unconscious? The power of the Buddha is an even stronger spiritual power that exceeds the force. Ordinary people can’t sense it at all and won’t be affected… Unless they’re the same as the Buddha. They’re also a slave of the God’s Domain!”
Lin Yan’s body trembled. He slowly reached out and took out Xiaozhi’s jade statue from his arms. However, wind and lightning had already gathered in his eyes.
“What if this person can absorb a large amount of Spirit Marrow remains and transform from a person into such a jade statue?”
Wang Yue looked at Xiaozhi’s jade statue with a hint of surprise.
“Goddess… No, that’s not right. The Goddess wouldn’t have shrunk to such a small size. It seems that the world has changed. Someone has done deeper experiments on the foundation of the Goddess…”
Lin Yan asked in a low voice, “Master, what exactly is the Goddess?”
Wang Yue sighed and said, “The Goddess Transformation is one of the several plans implemented by the emperor that failed and was abandoned. This plan was meant to transform people into God’s Favored. While retaining their own will, they would become a part of the God’s Domain. From there, they could avoid and even break through the threat of the God’s Domain from the inside…
“However, this plan failed in the end and was abandoned.
“99% of the 10,000 women who participated in the experiment turned into jade and never woke up.
“The remaining people who woke up were no longer humans, but had completely become God’s Favored and lost themselves…”
“Because there were too many casualties, this plan was forbidden in the end…”
The old monk suddenly paused, closed his eyes, and put his palms together. He chanted a Buddhist proclamation, “Or perhaps, it was not forbidden…”
Lin Yan understood what he meant. There were too many casualties. On the surface, it was forbidden, but in private?
It might still be in progress!
Moreover, from Xiaozhi’s body and everything he had seen in the Spirit Marrow, it was very likely that this experiment was still being carried out hundreds of years later!
“Grandmaster, do you know any way to turn this jade statue into a human again?”
Wang Yue looked at Lin Yan quietly. “Do you know that even if the creature created by this Goddess technique succeeds, it will still be half-human and half-Favored in the end? It’s almost impossible to completely retain their humanity.
“The more mature a goddess is, the more it’s like this.
“Even knowing this, do you still want to wake her up?”
Lin Yan was silent. After Xiaozhi woke up, she might not be Xiaozhi anymore?
“Could it be that there’s no way to preserve her consciousness and let her become a human again?”
“Once the Goddess Transformation begins, it can’t be stopped… At least in Fan Nation.”
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “Master, please tell me how to turn the jade statue into a human.”
“There’s nothing wrong with telling you. It’s just that… I’ll naturally tell you when you help me complete something.”
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Master, please speak.”
Wang Yue slowly extended his finger and pointed at the surrounding seven jade pillars.
“The Buddha Creation Plan has succeeded, but it has been too long… So long that my seven companions have completely lost their spirituality…
“Even I can only last for a month or two at most…
“Young friend, for the True Buddha to be born, there’s only one last step left.
“In the original plan, the eight of us should have broken the seal of the True Buddha in the center together.
“But now, I can only trouble you to break the seal and help the True Buddha break out.”
Lin Yan looked at the jade pillar in the center. This jade pillar was also the only one among all the jade pillars that did not have a blood coffin hanging on it.
Moreover, the surrounding jade lotus petals were completely wrapped together, forming a bud. It was clearly the most unique.
“What should I do?”
“There are eight jade branches hidden in the flesh of the Buddha corpse around the central jade pillar. You need to break these eight jade branches at the same time to help the True Buddha escape.
“Only when the True Buddha appears will we have the strength to resist the God’s Domain and have a chance of survival…
“After you complete it, I’ll tell you everything about the Goddess.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s all. But there are two things you need to pay attention to.
“Firstly, the Buddha’s corpse is tenacious. It’s not easy to cut open the Buddha’s corpse, but I’ve seen your strength. It shouldn’t be a problem for you.
“Secondly, the power of the True Buddha is strange and endless. When you approach the True Buddha, you have to guard your heart. Once you lose your mind, you will be attacked by the True Buddha. However, he has yet to wake up and his strength is not full. I think you can withstand it.”
Lin Yan looked deeply at Wang Yue.
Until now, Wang Yue had given him a good impression. He was very honest and did not lie to him.
However, Lin Yan naturally couldn’t completely trust such an ancient ruin and such an ancient existence.
Moreover, did he need to find outsiders to break the eight small jade branches?
Although it could be said that the old monk had turned into wood and could not leave, there was something indescribable strange about such a huge array.
“Master, I still have to go back to see my teammates and give them some instructions. I’ll help you do it when 1 come back later.”
Wang Yue sighed slightly. “It’s reasonable that you don’t trust me. Alright, please come back quickly. The God’s Domain has already spread to the Jade Pool Lake. The situation is critical and there’s not much time left. Please be careful…”
After saying this, the golden light illusion disappeared again, and the surroundings turned dark again..
