Chapter 796 The End of the World (Part 2) (Long Chapter, Thanks to Alliance Leader Fu Yue)

The space here was unusually intact, and Wei Yuan's divine sense covered the entire area. Although the virus was tiny, it could not escape Wei Yuan's control. The burning flames of the green lamp before the Buddha, like a gravitational pull, caused all the aggregated viruses infected by Wei Yuan's designed virus to perish, turning into ashes.

The flames burned into the pillars of the main server, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh covering these pillars turned to dust, leaving only countless holes of various sizes.

With a loud bang, the server collapsed, turning into useless ruins.

Wei Yuan scanned the surrounding space with his divine sense again and again, capable of annihilating tiny biological particles with just the power of his divine sense. After several repetitions, Wei Yuan finally confirmed that there were no more aggregated viruses in the entire hall, and only then did he stop.

Using the methods of immortals and Buddhas against the top technology of the mortal world resulted in a one-sided crushing defeat.

The little boy was feeding the old man in bed bread, but the way he was feeding him was a bit strange. He picked up the bread that had fallen on the ground and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, one piece after another, without caring whether it was clean or not.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's mouth was full of bread, but the little boy didn't stop. Instead, he continued to stuff more in, saying as he pushed, "This bread is something I worked very hard to bring back. It can't be wasted. You have to eat it all. You love it so much, you must really like it, right?..."

The old man's whole body was convulsing, his eyes were wide open, his lips were stuffed full, and his throat was bulging. A few indistinct sobs came from deep in his throat, each syllable filled with despair and pain.

Wang Bing and Ji Liuli were both frozen in place, unable to move.

Ji Liuli's eyes were darting around rapidly, as if she were having a nightmare with her eyes open, showing signs of waking up. Wang Bing, on the other hand, remained motionless, as if time had stopped, or perhaps there was nothing more inside her body.

The boy bent down to pick up a flattened piece of bread from the ground, about to stuff it into the old man's mouth, when suddenly an eye moved to the back of his head, staring in astonishment at Wei Yuan and the pillars riddled with holes.

"You won?" He seemed extremely surprised.

“I told you, what’s so difficult about this? Now, it’s your turn.”

The little boy gave a sinister smile, slowly raised his hand, and his arm instantly stretched out dozens of meters beyond the pillar of light. He presented the half-flattened bread to Wei Yuan and said, "Here, have some."

Wei Yuan knocked the piece of bread to the ground and said, "I only eat steamed buns."

The boy seemed to have been provoked; his face instantly contorted, and he screamed, "If you don't eat, then die!"

A shrill scream echoed through the space, transforming into sharp blades that pierced through the surrounding scenery. Countless monsters and people with distorted expressions appeared out of thin air, rushing towards Wei Yuan from all directions!
The monsters are diverse, and the humans each have different abilities, with some even wielding specially made high-powered firearms.

This is a vengeful spirit transforming the resentment of the entire illusionary realm into warriors, ready to crush everything in its path!
Despite the danger, Wei Yuan remained calm. He flicked out a wisp of azure energy, then pointed it in mid-air, and azure-gold Buddhist fire ignited on the energy, transforming it into a bronze-colored guardian warrior who charged towards the monster horde.

This strongman possessed immense strength; with a single blow of his fists, he reduced the two monsters to ashes. However, he was alone, and in the blink of an eye, his body was covered in monsters.

At this moment, another strongman rushed over, swinging his arm and sweeping away the monster on the previous strongman's body.

Wei Yuan silently chanted scriptures, flicked his wrist, and strands of azure energy transformed into powerful warriors, attacking in all directions. This was a supernatural power attached to the Void and Color Imperishable Technique: Qi Formation into Soldiers. It was similar to the Five Elements Daoist Soldiers, but clearly more powerful. Therefore, Wei Yuan abandoned the Five Elements Daoist Soldiers and began by using his own azure energy to transform the guardian warriors into warriors to fight against the vengeful spirits.

Wei Yuan moved faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of guardian warriors were able to hold off the surging tide of monsters coming from all directions.

As the number of times he cast the spell increased, Wei Yuan became more and more proficient. Suddenly, his mind became clear and his fingertips moved like the wind. Azure energy surged out, and in an instant, a hundred azure energies shot straight forward, revealing a wrathful Vajra more than ten feet tall!
Wei Yuan used the green lamp in front of the Buddha to enlighten this Vajra, and a faint green flame ignited around its body. Its power increased greatly, and it let out a world-shaking roar. It charged into the monster horde and actually went upstream against the tide!
The wrathful Vajra charged upwards, slaying countless monsters, before finally collapsing and vanishing into nothingness.

Although the Vajra consumes a great deal of energy, its power is also immense, absolutely justifying the cost. Wei Yuan immediately drew up a set of formulas in his mind, and after a quick calculation, he activated the Vajra at a rhythm of seventy warriors per Vajra, transforming it into waves of guardian army formations that charged back towards the monsters.

When King Kong appeared, the boy became even more frenzied, smashing everything within reach and screaming incessantly, "It's bald again! It's bald again! Won't you leave me alone?"

As he went completely mad, the number of monsters and superhumans around him increased, and a terrifying giant over ten meters tall appeared. The giant struck with all its might, smashing down a King Kong with brute force alone, then spewed out torrents of black fire, instantly incinerating the King Kong into ashes.

The giant moved slowly, yet it was indestructible, and neither King Kong nor groups of warriors could stop it along the way.

The boy's shouts turned excited: "See that? See that? This is my world-destroying troll! How much luck do you have left, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even several hundred thousand? You're destined to die here, becoming my nourishment, and then I can set off again to find a world where I can reincarnate and live once more!"

Wei Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. The Undying Void and the Red Lotus Universal Salvation Mantra quietly flowed through his heart, and suddenly he comprehended a lot of true meaning.

The world before him was not the end of the Dharma era, but a scene after the end of the Dharma era. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Wei Yuan could not have imagined that fate could be so tragic, that even after death he could not be freed, but was bound to the broken world, and would continue to suffer endless torment in this distorted world.

Even with his spiritual eyes, Wei Yuan could still see the spiritual radiance emanating from these monsters and people before him, though it was covered by a thick layer of blackish-red dust. Their spirituality obscured, with no way to escape, they were like puppets, playing preordained roles in a world formed by resentment. And those who assigned them these roles, weren't they themselves being manipulated?

Having witnessed the Dharma-ending Age firsthand, Wei Yuan's understanding of the scriptures advanced by leaps and bounds, instantly reaching a level that many eminent monks never attained in their entire lives.

Wei Yuan sensed something, and five-colored shimmering light shone again between his brows. He clasped his hands together and remained silent for three seconds. He had just managed to suppress the Buddhist chant with great willpower, wisdom, and determination.

Then Wei Yuan gently pointed forward with his hand in a gesture of plucking a flower, and the myriad green wisps of energy vanished instantly. A golden Arhat rose from the ground, holding a Zen staff, to meet the world-destroying giant demon.

A few breaths later, another golden Arhat appeared, this time wielding a vajra, and also faced the giant demon.

The world-destroying troll, fighting two against one, actually emerged victorious, truly a display of overwhelming demonic power! However, it also suffered considerable injuries and finally collapsed under the combined attack of King Kong and the strongman.

The boy sneered and shouted, "How are you going to deal with this?!"

At the edge of the distant chaos, another troll appeared, striding forward with a gait that shook the world.

Wei Yuan sat upright with a smile, raised his hand and waved it, and four golden Arhats appeared in front of him.

The boy flew into a rage, his whole body trembling, and his body became somewhat transparent. Finally, two more world-destroying trolls appeared on the edge of chaos!

"Hahaha! Die! Killing a Buddhist disciple today is revenge for this world! I...I @#￥%!"

Wei Yuanbao had a solemn and dignified appearance. With a light wave of his sleeves, five-colored light descended from the sky, and eight more Arhats appeared!
A full twelve Arhats, accompanied by numerous Vajras and a vast horde of powerful warriors, surged upwards towards the edge of chaos. Wherever the azure-gold Buddha light shone, evil spirits vanished into thin air. After an unknown amount of time, when the world was finally at peace, seven Arhats remained idle in the heavens and earth, and the Vajras and powerful warriors, needless to say, were everywhere.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan regretted his actions; he had indeed used too much force. At this moment, less than two million units of Human Dao Azure Qi remained. In the previous battle, Wei Yuan had single-handedly poured out a million units of his fortune, transforming them into Buddhist weapons to wipe out the resentment in this world in one fell swoop. Without the support of resentment, the collapse of the illusion was only a matter of time. Once this world had completely collapsed, Wei Yuan could then collect the world's primordial energy.

The little boy's body was now almost completely transparent. He stared at Wei Yuan with a face full of resentment, cursing incessantly, but unable to utter a sound. A point of light emerged from deep within his body, instantly transforming into a young man. As the young man appeared, the boy finally let out a whimper and vanished completely.

The young man looked around, then at the old man on the bed, and seemed to understand something. He took out a chip from his hand, placed it in Wei Yuan's hand, and said, "I never thought I would wake up again. This world is about to perish, and I will also disappear completely from the universe. But what happened here, including the mistakes we made, should not be forgotten. All of these things are here, and I'm entrusting them to you."

Wei Yuan took the chip, which instantly transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

The young man suddenly asked, "Are you human?"

Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Judging from its appearance, it should be."

The young man smiled, took out a pistol from his pocket, and fired several shots at the old man lying on the bed until the magazine was empty.

As the daylight faded, only the bed remained, along with the old man lying on it, grinning blankly, his mouth stuffed full of bread.

Wei Yuan turned around and saw Ji Liuli and Wang Bing waking up as if from a dream, finally regaining their ability to move. Looking at Wang Bing, Wei Yuan became increasingly convinced that she was Peacock, so he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

The woman in the short-haired cheongsam smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "...Buddha Mother."

She transformed into a beam of crystal light, piercing through the air and vanishing. Only after she disappeared did a glimmer of clarity return to Ji Liuli's eyes.

"you're awake?"

"I was half awake, but I still remember many things from my dream."

Wei Yuan was curious about something, so he asked, "Do you remember planning to release a virus to destroy a country? Why does your body hate that place so much?"

Ji Liuli said, "Years ago, I was in charge of a project there. To put it simply, it was about finding a place to build a super gene pharmaceutical factory. I had already chosen the location, tens of thousands of acres of land, all covered with forests, and no one lived there."

Wei Yuan said, "The place isn't very big. If it's flat, a hundred foundation stones can be laid in three days."

Ji Liuli said, "That's what I originally thought too, but there's some kind of environmental organization in the area that says there's a snake there that I can't name, and they won't let me start work!"

Wei Yuan became interested: "What kind of snake is so precious? Does it have any spirituality? What is its cultivation level? If it's a Dharma form, then it would be worthwhile to make friends with it."

Ji Liuli glared at him: "What kind of spiritual creatures are there in this world? Ordinary things, like vegetable snakes, are non-venomous."

Since there was no snake venom, Wei Yuan immediately lost interest: "Then just move them away. Find a few thousand mortals, it'll only take three days."

“They won’t allow it! They say the snakes are hibernating and it’s inhumane to disturb their sleep. They’ll only move them after spring.”

Wei Yuan was shocked: "Are these guys here specifically to cause trouble?"

"No, it's just that people are bored and have nothing better to do. That country has such good welfare that it's better to stay home and rest than to work, so there are a lot of idle people."

“Welfare…” Wei Yuan pondered the word, then said, “Such good welfare, where does the money come from? I also want to provide welfare, but no matter how I calculate it, the money is never enough.”

Ji Liuli rolled her eyes at Wei Yuan and said, "They originally got their money by stealing, so naturally they have better benefits."

Wei Yuan's spirits lifted: "Robbery? I knew it! That's something I'm good at! What happened next?"

"What else can we do? A whole year has passed and we still can't start work. Besides snakes, squirrels, frogs, and butterflies also live there. The only thing missing is someone to protect the virus."

"Viruses aren't considered life, are they?" Wei Yuan reminded him.

"The aggregated state is life... but those people don't understand this. They just want to express themselves and won't listen to what you're saying. What does global warming have to do with me? I haven't benefited from it at all, and I'm supposed to shoulder all the responsibility? Do I look like an idiot?" Ji Liuli complained.

Wei Yuan seemed to be deep in thought: "In this world, it seems that one of your houses is 10,000 square meters, the air conditioning is never turned off, and the swimming pool temperature is the same all year round..."

"Shut up! Go back and properly renovate Immortal City! Look at them, and look at yourself!"

"I'll take care of it when I get back!" Wei Yuan readily agreed.

Ji Liuli said irritably, "Speaking of provocations, there really are some. One day, a few animal rights activists came to my house and said that I ate meat and that it hurt their feelings."

"Wait a minute..." Wei Yuan was a little confused, "You're eating meat at home, and they come to your house and complain?"

"Yes."

Looking at Ji Liuli's over two-meter-tall frame, Wei Yuan said, "So fierce? Did something happen that made you depressed?"

"I was only 1.7 meters tall back then... but of course I wasn't going to let them get away with it so easily. I found the same excuse and beat them up badly. Guess what excuse it was?"

"Are you a plant lover?" Wei Yuan guessed.

"I said I'm an air lover."
