Chapter 575 Buddha Enters Samsara

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Three Lives Stone can illuminate both past and present lives."

After a brief moment of surprise, Shi Tianjun sighed knowingly.

As mentioned earlier, Eclipse Lord had no particular attachment to the [Heavenly Mandate Divine Power].

Because he liked Wu Yao as a person, not as the "Celestial Witch".

On the contrary, after learning that Wu Yao had lost the [Heavenly Mandate Divine Power], Shi Tianjun even felt a secret joy.

This means that Wu Yao will have to rely on herself more in the future if she encounters any problems.

This is exactly what the Eclipse Lord has always longed for.

"However, isn't it a bit inappropriate to just leave the Three Lives Stone there like that?"

It would be better if you didn't know that the Three Lives Stone is a [Heavenly Mandate Divine Power].

But once he learned this, the more the Heavenly Lord looked at the Three Lives Stone, the more worried he became.

If this thing is stolen or misused, the trouble it causes will be no less than the magical treasures in Li Boyang's possession.

"Knowing one's destiny and relinquishing worldly ties—this is precisely the best use of 'divine powers of destiny'."

"Or do you, like those gods, believe that this level of supernatural power can only be used by powerful and noble beings?"

Wu Yao's single sentence successfully left Shi Tianjun speechless.

Let's not even mention that Wu Yao and Li Boyang are both people who are dedicated to popularizing magical treasures and artifacts to everyone.

All for the sake of increasing his favorability in Wu Yao's eyes.

It's impossible for Shi Tianjun to admit that this is his truest thought.

"I suddenly realized that since your rebirth, you seem to have become more and more adept at manipulating people's hearts."

Just as Shi Tianjun was wondering how to answer the question, he turned his head and saw Wu Yao smirking.

It was obvious that Wu Yao's previous remark was deliberately teasing Shi Tianjun.

"Playing with people's hearts?"

"That's quite a strange way of putting it."

With a soft chuckle, Wu Yao continued speaking, seemingly unconcerned.

"Unfortunately, there are many people in this world who are better at manipulating people's hearts than I am."

"Do you think I'm right?"

"A demon king from the six desire realms? Or perhaps a Buddha?"

Upon hearing Wu Yao's words, Shi Tianjun's expression immediately changed, and he warily glanced around at his surroundings.

Then he noticed that the long line of people waiting to be reincarnated had stopped at some point.

And near the other shore flowers on the banks of the River of Oblivion.

The ghosts were trembling, not daring to take another step forward.

Because at the bridgehead, a spirit distinctly different from the other ghosts stood silently with its head bowed.

Only after Wu Yao revealed the other party's identity did He slowly raise his head.

"Whether it's the Demon King or the Buddha, those are just external names."

With that deep, hoarse voice, Shi Tianjun saw the other person's appearance clearly.

The spirit was entirely white, yet it faintly emitted a golden light, and a halo appeared and disappeared behind its head.

However, more striking than His appearance and attire was the seemingly ever-present sorrow and compassion on His face.

"In this netherworld, I am just an ordinary soul."

"I want to be reincarnated. That shouldn't violate the rules set by the Emperor of Fengdu, right?"

While seemingly speaking to Wu Yao, Shi Tianjun sensed that the Buddha's gaze was sweeping over him out of the corner of his eye.

“You followed the proper procedures, so I naturally won’t make things difficult for you.” “But you’ve been deliberately concealing your presence, which makes me a little suspicious of your intentions.”

Gone was the compassion and kindness she displayed in front of other ghosts; Wu Yao stared intently at the Buddha and spoke.

"As the ruler of a Buddhist kingdom, what does your kingdom lack? Why do you wish to reincarnate into the mortal world?"

Faced with Wu Yao's questioning, the sorrow on the Buddha's face became even more intense.

"It is precisely because I have everything that I want to go to the present world."

"The ancient Buddha created the six realms of desire and endowed us with free will, but never thought of controlling us."

“I am reciting scriptures and preaching in the Buddha’s land. He doesn’t know, you don’t know, and all sentient beings don’t know.”

"Since you won't come, I'll go to you, so I came here."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yao and Shi Tianjun exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

The two of them knew far more about the demon kings and Buddhas of the Six Desire Realms than the outside world did.

As the embodiment of the desires and righteous thoughts of all living beings, although they were given free will by Li Boyang, few of them were truly able to break free from their own obsessions.

Not to mention a Buddha like the one before us, who expresses his will so clearly and explicitly.

With more ideas and a more meticulous mind, Wu Yao even suspected that the Buddha in front of her might be an enlightened being from another time and space.
"You really want to be reincarnated?"

"Do you know that to be reborn, you have to give up everything you have now?"

"You can't retain any of your identity, status, abilities, or memories."

"Not only that, but don't even think that you can regain your memories of your past life after you are reincarnated."

"Because even if you regain your memories of your past life, you will no longer be you to him."

Wu Yao can now deeply relate to this point.

"You will forever remain a memory for others, a memory that they may never even remember."

"So before you drink the Meng Po soup, think it through before making a decision!"

Listening to Wu Yao's words of comfort, the sorrow on Buddha's face seemed to lessen, and his eyes became even brighter.

That's why I came here.

“The Buddhist kingdom may have everything, but it is therefore too illusory.”

After a slight pause, the Buddha lowered his voice and continued speaking.

“We Buddhas are born in the Buddha-land, and our hearts are filled with right mindfulness, which is completely opposite to the demons from beyond the heavens.”

"Therefore, the Buddha went to the outer heavens, attempting to use his own right mindfulness to convert those demons from beyond the heavens, so that they would no longer interfere with the present world."

“But I always felt that this was not the original intention of the ancient Buddha in creating us.”

With a deep sigh, the Buddha's next words shocked Wu Yao and Shi Tianjun once again.

“I was not among the first Buddhas to be born, so I am not aware of what happened in the six realms of desire…”

Why is there such a large difference in the flow of time among the six realms of desire?

Why do those extraterrestrial demons keep mocking us as 'frogs in a well'?

Why were the first Buddhas and Vidyarajas so secretive about the existence of the 'Ancient Buddha'?

"Unless all these questions are resolved, even if all the demons from beyond the heavens are saved, the confusion in my heart will remain unresolved."

"Since all other Buddhas are unwilling and dare not take this first step, then I will do it!"

"I wish to be the first Buddha to enter the cycle of rebirth, paving the way for those who follow."

"If the 'me' after reincarnation can really regain this memory, I hope he can find the answer then."
