Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 845 Guanyin is petty, but thankfully, Cheng Tian is too.
The fact that Cheng had managed to kill the goldfish spirit caused a considerable rift between him and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Although the death of the pet fish wasn't exactly an irreconcilable enmity, it was enough to make Guanyin view Cheng Tian and everything related to him with prejudice from now on.

That's right, Guanyin is just that petty!

Fortunately, Cheng Tian was the same.

Don't assume that the alliance between Heaven and Mount Ling means they are harmonious. Their antagonism remains, but the existence of the Black Myth world has shifted the conflict. With a shared, clear goal, they appear to be united against a common enemy. Once things settle down, they will most likely return to their original competitive state... But if nothing unexpected happens, the rate at which this competition intensifies should slow down significantly.

Perhaps it's due to age, but without realizing it, the videos Cheng Tian used to watch while eating have gradually changed from anime, variety shows, and survival programs to various current affairs analyses. Although he himself still knows nothing about politics, watching more of these videos has helped him develop some mental habits and find some corresponding content in similar events.

Were the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling angry with the divine and spiritual system of the Black Myth, and thus chose to launch an interdimensional war?

Yes, but not entirely.

As the saying goes, no one gets up early without a reason. In Cheng Tian's view, the fall of gods and Buddhas was just a major excuse to send troops. What was more important to the two major forces was the "Black Myth" instance itself.

More accurately... it's about the ordinary people here who are oppressed by gods, Buddhas, demons, and monsters, and the incense and faith they represent!
Moreover, compared to those completely new worlds that have never been explored, the Black Myth dungeon is completely from the same source as Journey to the West and Legend of the Monkey King in terms of its core beliefs. The two are set in similar historical periods, which means that the public's acceptance of the beliefs is almost the same.

At the same time, the workstations reserved for gods and Buddhas are exactly the same as in the past, so the transition is seamless.

What's even more noteworthy is that the gods and Buddhas in the Black Myth universe don't even need to be perfect. As long as they can be a little more human-like than the original native gods and Buddhas, faith will flood in like a tide.

The people have all been trained and belong to this group.

This means that from the moment the Great Expedition officially began, Cheng Tian's side basically lost any legitimate opportunity to cause trouble for Guanyin.

So whether Cheng Tian's axe strike at Guanyin of Black Spirit Mountain was motivated by personal grudges is hard to say...

Facing the onslaught of the mountain-splitting axe, Black Guanyin's expression remained unchanged, while the flesh-and-blood Buddha statue behind her, composed of five hundred Arhats, already mimicked the action of catching a blade with bare hands.

When facing small and agile units, the slow attack speed of the axe makes it almost impossible to hit the target easily. Therefore, Cheng Tian's axe strike was less about cutting Guanyin and more about forcing the opponent to make a move.

Because the game "Black Myth: Wukong" itself has too many plot holes, Tianxuan Space can only make a reasonable Black Myth-style expansion based on the original work. It is also clearly mixed with "Dou Zhan Shen", which is the source point, and the gods and Buddhas are all very dark.

However, so far, Cheng Tian has only personally encountered a few batches of expanded characters, such as the Thunder Department, the Fire Department, the Headless Horseman Li Jing, and the Land God Tao Zu. The others were either dealt with by the Great Sage and his companions or ran away.

He was also very curious about what kind of ability system this Guanyin Bodhisattva would develop.

He desperately held onto the axe that was about to strike him in front of the enormous flesh-and-blood Buddha statue, but his hands were clearly injured.

However, when what is merely a superficial injury to the giant unit falls upon these individual Arhats who make up the flesh and blood of their arms, the resulting damage is beyond imagination.

The flesh of the Arhats, which formed the hands, was visibly being damaged and peeled away until their internal organs and skeletons were quickly exposed. However, this did not immediately end their lives; instead, it made their chanting of Amitabha Buddha intensify. Blood dripped from their palms toward the location of the Black Guanyin, then bounced off as if it were poured onto an invisible egg-shaped protective shield.

Then, the Black Guanyin took a willow branch from the jade bottle she held in her palm and casually waved it upwards.

However, some beings with exceptional eyesight noticed that the willow branch drawn from the smooth, jade-like bottle was covered with a crimson liquid, which looked like... like blood that had settled for a short time.

The blood plasma that was flung out immediately stained the Arhat's body, which was melting away, and instantly transformed into new flesh and blood to cover it, giving it a comprehensive physical repair.

But strange things also happened.

Even after his physical body was repaired, the Arhat began to randomly develop missing organs!

Eyes, nose, ears, arms, thighs... Among the many missing organs, only the mouths of these Arhats were unaffected, and their chanting grew louder and louder!
Meanwhile, because it was agreed beforehand that he would not be the vanguard in the fight against Black Spirit Mountain, the Great Sage Demon King, who was just standing at the bow of the ship watching the giant flesh and blood Buddha chanting sutras, was visibly agitated.

The six-syllable mantra that was pasted on the Five Finger Mountain back then not only continuously absorbed the spiritual energy he produced, but also tormented the Great Sage by repeating the six syllables uninterruptedly for 12 hours a day. The Great Sage is now obviously having some PTSD symptoms.

The Arcade Monkey King was slightly better, but the distortion of his facial features was still quite significant.

"...So annoying!!!!"

The Great Sage, the Demon King, could no longer bear the noisy Buddhist chants. He pulled the golden cudgel from his ear and was about to make it change according to his will once again.

But at that very moment, an unexpected yet perfectly logical voice suddenly broke in.

"The compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva."

The voice of Tang Sanzang, which had long been associated with the golden headband, instantly poured cold water on Monkey King's agitated mood, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

During the previous all-out attack on the Black Heavenly Court, the Demon King Great Sage's attention was entirely focused on the Heavenly Court itself. In addition, since Tang Sanzang here was not his real master, he subconsciously ignored Tang Sanzang's existence throughout the process.

Following the sound, the Demon King saw another master who was calmer than he had imagined, and whose whole demeanor had changed. He quickly walked to the bow of the ship, paused with his staff, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from his body.

Cheng Tian had already noticed that the two characters "Xuanzang" above his head were gradually disappearing, and in their place were the three characters "Jin Chanzi"!

Then, under the extremely complicated gaze of the Demon King Great Sage, he decisively recited the same six-syllable mantra—

Om Mani Mani Hum!
