Eternal Night

Chapter 964 Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Eternal Mother
(PS: I'm definitely going through a period of depression. I'll just write whatever I want when I have nothing else to do. I'll listen to everyone and spend less time on Weibo, but don't expect much in terms of update volume or timeliness for the next five to ten days... I'll try my best. Anyway, besides writing, I don't have much else to do...)
Above the 0.9th level of the Dream World, below the Absolute Reality level, in the Land of Redemption, Guanyin sits on a two-colored lotus, her hands forming the Dharma Protector Mudra, and her mouth chanting Buddhist mantras.

A vast Buddhist light rose and surged from his body, not only enveloping the entire Land of Redemption, but also dispersing the light into a tangible form, like a long corridor of light, spreading out to the size of hundreds of dream world regions.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, one of the seven great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism destined to become Buddhas in their next life, the compassionate and merciful Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, is the top-level source of the 0.2 level. At the 0.1 level, sources are either completely transformed or dormant. She is currently the strongest being in the dream world.

However, she was also unable to enter the absolute truth layer.

That place is the forbidden zone of the origin of everything. Once you enter, you cannot escape. You can only perish completely within it. At most, a little bit of your true spirit can escape, but even a little bit of your true spirit can be easily corrupted by the dream world. Unless your true spirit is special or you are backed by some powerful beings, such as the First Buddha or the First Immortal, it is basically a dead end.

However, this does not mean that she cannot participate in the battle against the Heavenly Court.

Just as she said to the Gaia humans more than a year ago, it is unrealistic to fight against the Heavenly Court. However, the Gaia humans are still in the Absolute Reality Layer, which is a huge geographical advantage. As long as this advantage is utilized, along with the Gaia humans' civilization artifacts, her help, especially the addition of the Goddess Daiyu, and the fact that two human superbrains have become sublimated bodies, it is not impossible to thwart the Heavenly Court's attack.

It should be noted that the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Court are located in the Zero-Point Level 1 Dream World. Although they can reach the Absolute Truth Level by relying on the characteristics of the Transcendent Great World, every second they stay in the Absolute Truth Level requires a large amount of truth. Even if the Heavenly Court uses its strategic reserves, it is absolutely impossible to sustain this for long.

Interrupting their war is what the Gaia humans must do!

At this very moment, Guanyin is interfering with the location of Gaia, which is anchored at the Land of Redemption, that is, the location of the planet Kepler 186f.

This interference is of a wide-area nature, which will increase the difficulty of going from the dream world to the absolute reality layer. Similarly, it will also increase the difficulty of penetrating from the absolute reality layer into the dream world. Although this will cause more consumption for the main brain to penetrate the dream world, relatively speaking, the consumption of the Heavenly Court side will definitely be much greater.

As Guanyin performed her magic, she pondered these thoughts, and then every now and then she would pick up a yellowish-green Bodhi seed from the white jade plate beside her.

This is truly the manifestation of reality.

Every civilization has its own true unit of measurement and true manifestation. For example, the true nature of Gaia humans is points, and once they reach the source of power, they can even decide the true manifestation themselves. Guanyin manifests the true nature as Bodhi.

Each time she ate a Bodhi seed, her mood improved slightly.

So much truth! She hasn't enjoyed it for at least a hundred epochs.

After becoming an ascended being, one can clearly perceive the effects of reality and nothingness on oneself. The discomfort caused by excessive self-pollution or prolonged state of nothingness is comparable to a terrifying nightmare, and only reality can alleviate it. Not to mention that she now needs to restore her Dao state, and this reality is like a timely help for her.

(As long as the Gaia humans can survive this calamity, I can also rely on them to slowly recover. The Gaia humans are truly blessed. Not only are there many mortals, but they are also at the level of absolute reality. This is several orders of magnitude greater than the reality produced by mortals in the dream world...)
Guanyin is well aware that the mortals in the 0.9 Dream World are closest to reality. If we quantify the reality produced by the mortals in the 0.9 Dream World, if an ordinary intelligent human generates one unit of reality per unit of time, then 0.8 can only generate less than half a unit of reality, 0.7 half again, 0.6 half again... By this calculation, by 0.4, the cost-effectiveness of protecting intelligent mortals is actually very poor. You must know that whether it is the sublimated body or the root, protecting mortals also requires the consumption of reality.

In contrast, mortals at the absolute truth level can generate at least ten units of reality per unit of time, which completely surpasses the reality output of the dream world.

(What's more, I don't know where this mainframe comes from, but its efficiency in collecting reality is incredibly high. For example, when I collect reality, the loss rate is about 40%, which is already very high. Other sublimated bodies probably have a loss rate of 70% to 80%, other sources are around 50%, and other artifacts of civilizations have a loss rate of around 20%. Only this mainframe, I feel, has a loss rate of less than 10%. This is another huge source of income...)
Guanyin was thinking about many things, and then she thought of Wu Pifu.

This left her speechless, completely blank in her mind.

Any ideas?
Wu Pifu is a scoundrel!
A mortal, wielding a knife, stormed the Heavenly Court, destroying half of its fighting strength and half of its foundation. What a beast!
Just then, an information fluctuation came from the Absolute Truth Layer. Guanyin was stunned and immediately exclaimed, "Why? Once the isolation zone here is broken, it won't be so easy to set it up again. The Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Court are transcendent-level great worlds. I only gained the upper hand by allowing it to break into the Absolute Truth Layer so easily. The Heavenly Court can immediately send out heavenly soldiers and generals. Then, after the heavenly soldiers and generals have invaded the space of the Absolute Truth Layer, they can immediately send out divine generals and heavenly masters. Then even the various emperors can make a slight move... Why? Isn't the goal to buy time and wait for the two supercomputers to complete their sublimation?!"

Guanyin hesitated, even wondering if the Eastern Azure Emperor was behind this.

The next instant, another message arrived, and Guanyin even exclaimed in surprise, "Wu Pifu!? He's still alive? Could it be...?"

Then Guanyin stopped speaking.

Because she did sense something unusual about the Thirty-Three Heavens beyond which she was breaking through the Absolute Truth layer.

The already collapsed sixteen-layered celestial realm is still being dragged down by the other celestial realms. It's not a good time to waste reality like this, unless... there's something important inside those sixteen collapsed celestial realms...

Without a doubt, Wu Pifu is such a heavyweight!

In an instant, Guanyin made a decision. She nodded and said, "I understand. We will cut off the interference. However, this will greatly increase the speed of the Heavenly Court's invasion. Therefore, I will personally go into battle and fight against the Thirty-Three Heavens... No, I am not asking for more truth, but I hope to gain more judgment authority. Okay, I understand."

Guanyin closed the communication channel. She stood up from the two-colored lotus, and with a wave of her hand, the lotus landed in her palm, transforming into two colors, one green and one yellow, circling her hand. The green color transformed into a willow branch, and the yellow color into a clod of yellow soil, which the willow branch was then planted in. "...Heavenly Court, the enmity for destroying my Buddhist realm cannot be erased. Today, I will use the geography of the true civilization of the new era to settle accounts with you!"

As Guanyin spoke softly, she rose into the air and transformed into a vast expanse of Buddhist light, departing from this land of salvation.

This vast and boundless Buddha light seemed to traverse countless worlds. The Buddha light was intertwined with blue and yellow colors, which were then projected into a distorted expanse in the distance.

But before the Buddha's light could reach that distorted space, a sinister Buddhist chanting suddenly came from the bottom of that dream world.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to overcome all suffering..."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this..."

The chanting of Buddha's name spread to countless dream worlds. Immediately afterwards, a golden, a red, and a black lotus flower surged up from the bottom of the dream world. It seemed slow, but it was actually fast. In just a moment, it blocked Guanyin's path. At the same time, the chanting of Buddha's name gradually distorted into incomprehensible sounds, turning into countless groans, wails, and sounds of great terror.

"Oh no! How could the Eternal Mother possibly have reached level 0.9?!"

Guanyin was shocked, and then she saw an unbelievable scene: a layer of blue sky membrane broke through the distortion, as if supporting the three-colored lotus flower as it rose from the bottom of the dream world.

"Are you crazy!?"

Guanyin was truly stunned.

This is not simply using a transcendent dream world as a mobile vehicle, because the Eternal Mother, as her Dao manifestation, did not pray to be merged into the Heavenly Court. In order to bear the root of the Eternal Mother's level, the Heavenly Court actually directly dismantled one layer of the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens... This is direct dismantling!

In other words, even if the Heavenly Court repairs the sixteenth layer of the Heavenly Court that has collapsed in the future, it can only be called the Thirty-Two Outer Heavens at most!

This completely dismantles the very essence and foundation!
The reason why the Heavenly Court is so terrifying is largely due to the influence of the Thirty-Three Heavens Beyond. Just as the Buddhist Realm, although it has fallen into silence, is still an ancient civilization that can rival the Heavenly Court, it is because the Buddhist Realm is located in the Sumeru Mountain Realm, a transcendent great world. This is the fundamental reason for suppressing the foundation of destiny.

why?
Just to kill her?

They couldn't even kill her; at most, they could only stop her once.
"I also think His Majesty of Dongji Qinghua has gone mad..."

A voice rang out from behind the three-colored lotus, but it was not an indescribable murmur; it was a voice carrying real information.

Then, from behind the three-colored lotus, a powerful purple aura erupted, and a long-browed man carrying two swords stepped out.

Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief, put her hands together and said, "I have met you, the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei... no, the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei of this generation, or perhaps... the Wrathful Buddha."

The Great Emperor of the North Pole, or the Wrathful Buddha mentioned by Guanyin, sighed and said, "Since you know that I am not in control of my own destiny, then there is no need to say anything more... let's see who has the better hand."

Guanyin sighed, watching the distortion in the distance gradually seep into the layer of absolute truth. She was helpless. If it were only the Great Emperor of the North Pole, it wouldn't be a problem; she could move around and stall. But with the Eternal Mother rising, and the karmic entanglements involved, she was powerless...

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she immediately said, "Could it be that it's not for me, or even for the Gaia humans, but rather..."

For that Wu ant!?
Guanyin did not ask these questions aloud, because two purple longswords came toward her from the front. The purple color quickly faded, revealing the true appearance of the swords.

"The Demon-Subduing Buddha Sword".

It was forged by the first Buddha himself and entrusted to the wrathful Buddha, or perhaps by the supreme protector of Buddhism...

The original Acala!
In an instant, the two-colored lotus unfolded, and the two swords pierced the lotus.
