My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 708 Maitreya's Capture Turns the Tide into a Winning Strategy
As the yellow bird flew high...

The Supreme Emperor Haotian, like the legendary primordial deity who rode the sun and surveyed the heavens, slowly glided across the sky.

However, what was flying in the sky was not a sun-chariot.
Instead, it was a coffin!
It didn't scatter any warm light.
Instead, it's endless death!
In order to understand its specific impact, Li Wei rushed back to Sanjiangdu from the Hengduan Abyss, only to hear a continuous coughing sound as soon as he entered the pass.

You're finally back.

Yang Chan quickly stepped forward, her face filled with panic, and asked, "Why did the Heavenly Court suddenly update the game?"

[After our cultivator soldiers inhaled this ash, they have begun to experience dizziness, fever, and their cultivation dissolving.]

If this continues, people will die! So many people!!

Li Wei patted its head, calming it down:
Don't panic. First, tell me which update notifications you received this time. I need to verify that the information we received matches.

After all, the second day's message was too unbelievable, so He didn't think too much about it and quickly showed the version prompt He had received.

Besides the twelve update messages, I also received a new quest called "Rescue the Supreme Emperor Haotian".

What about the others? Is it the same for them?

Yes, that includes the soldiers from the mortal realm!

In other words, this time, whether it was the Heavenly Court's Great Luo Immortals, ordinary True Gods, or mortal beings,
All of them are within the scope of this version's impact.
Shanghao is mobilizing the entire world to save Him!
Li Wei asked curiously, "Has anyone accepted the mission yet?"

Although the version missions are issued by the Heavenly Dao, they can be forcibly implanted into everyone's cultivation assistance panel.

However, whether or not to accept the mission requires the practitioner to activate it themselves.

For example, when Li Wei and Mi Hongzhi participated in the Immortal Examination, they had to press a button to enter the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm examination hall!

In the current mission to save the Supreme Emperor, there is also a button; the mission will only begin after accepting the offer.

Yang Chan said with a serious expression, "I just had some people accept missions to see what happens."

They all disappeared right before my eyes; I didn't even understand how they left, so I didn't dare try again.

Yang Chan, after all, possessed the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal.
Moreover, she is Yang Jian's sister and the mother of the Great Sage of the Fallen Heaven, so she has a very deep background. As a result, even He doesn't understand how these people disappeared.
Li Wei became interested.

They quickly found two fearless mortal cultivators from the army at Sanjiangdu to conduct experiments.

[If you accept the mission, you'll each receive a cash compensation of five million, and your family members won't need to serve in the military for three years. How about it?]

The two mortal soldiers, who were only at the Qi Refining stage, exchanged a glance and gritted their teeth, saying, "Inspector, we'll do it!"

【Great! Let's begin.】

Li Wei suddenly opened his wondrous Dao Eye and stared intently at the two people's movements, but even after they disappeared, he saw nothing at all.

[System, have you noticed?]

I have some ideas, but I'm not entirely sure, so I need to study it with more samples.

Li Wei found ten people this time and had them activate the mission one by one.
After this happened seven times in a row, the Heavenly Dao 0.81 system finally interrupted thoughtfully:
This feeling... seems to be a second causal link!

Li Wei asked with some surprise: "Did the Supreme Emperor Haotian create a separate line of cause and effect for destiny?"

Um.
This is understandable.

After all, in this time and space, the Supreme Emperor Haotian was already destined to be punished and die.

So if He wants to live...
The only option is to create a completely new parallel universe, overwrite the existing history, and completely alter one's own destiny.

Heavenly Dao 0.81 said deeply: "Therefore, it can now be basically confirmed that at least one aspect of this update to the 'Heavenly Realm' version is related to the causal relationship of fate!"

Li Wei asked with some doubt: "Although a completely new timeline can bring about entirely new causes and effects of fate, 'living beings' are the core of destiny."

Therefore, unless all living beings in this world are moved there, history will never change.

Since that's the case!

Why doesn't Shanghao just send everyone to a new parallel universe?

[If a large number of beings refuse the mission and are unable to travel to the parallel universe, His plan will fail.]

Heavenly Dao 0.81 also considered this issue: [This means that in the new parallel universe, the Supreme Emperor Haotian is not yet completely out of danger.]

Therefore, He feared that if too many people came in, they would bring with them the inevitable death.

Li Wei laughed upon hearing this:

[If that's the case, then everyone involved in the death of the Supreme Emperor, including myself and the Nine Saints of the Heretical Path, should be unable to enter this new timeline?]

Tiandao0.81's tone grew increasingly serious: "[It's highly likely.]"

If the Heavenly Emperor's scheme succeeds, then parallel universes will overwrite reality. At that time, all of us who cannot go to the new world will be crushed by the laws of nature!

Even the power of the Heavenly Dao is insignificant compared to the weight of the entire world.

Li Wei immediately burst into wild laughter:
Hahaha, His Majesty is truly a master strategist.

[Not only do they want to kidnap all living beings in the Three Realms to escape the curse of the Heavenly Emperor's inevitable death, but they also want to create a world without us.]

If He succeeds, He will likely become a true emperor for all time, and the entire new world will then be under His absolute rule.

Unexpectedly, this puppet Heavenly Emperor actually managed to accomplish this task despite the constraints imposed by the Three Pure Ones and all the gods, and despite being surrounded by the Nine Saints, heretics, and Buddhist sects.

What a brilliant and ambitious strategy this is!

Even Li Wei had to applaud Shang Hao at this moment.

Tiandao0.81 sighed, full of helplessness, and said: "I originally thought that by not accepting the version update, we could stay away from this great calamity, but it turns out we still can't escape it."

What's meant to be will be. Let's think about how to break this deadlock.

While Li Wei was conversing with Heavenly Dao 0.81, he was also simultaneously communicating with Yang Chan. [What should we do now?]

It's especially important to stay calm in situations like these!

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and the Nine Sages of Heresy are definitely already taking action.

Perhaps it won't be long before we receive their announcement.

The voice just fell.

A terrifying roar suddenly came from the southern part of Zhongzhou.

Li Wei turned around and saw that the Buddha's light that had illuminated the sky was now being swallowed up by countless soldiers.

Then cheers suddenly erupted in the southern part of Zhongzhou, resounding throughout the entire world.

"We got it!!!"

"The Martial Saint has successfully captured Maitreya Buddha!"

"May General Guan be victorious! May Commander Lu be victorious!!"

Did they ultimately fail to escape?

Including Li Wei, all the gods of the Three Realms couldn't help but shift their gaze to the southern part of the Central Plains at this moment.
On that blood-soaked battlefield, countless corpses lay spread out at Maitreya's feet like lotus thrones.
On the Buddha's body, which was now nothing but bones, a Green Dragon Blade pierced through it, and twelve iron chains bound it tightly.

Six Golden Immortals from the Jade Void Palace were each holding two chains and were continuously writing runes to suppress the power on Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya seemed to still want to struggle.

But the withered, desiccated Emperor suddenly descended from the sky and sat directly inside Maitreya's body.

in an instant,
The Buddhist power brewing within Maitreya Buddha was finally completely suppressed, and at this moment, there was no trace of divine charm left.

The Copy Emperor sneered: "Brother Duobao, please hand over the Buddha's Nirvana Relics!"

【Amitabha!】

Maitreya clasped his hands together, abruptly shutting off his five senses, and, carrying the Buddha's relics, sank into the endless world of the mind.

Buddhist practitioners cultivate enlightenment and transcendence, their minds are vast and boundless, almost inexhaustible, and countless secrets are hidden within them.

Even if a Grand Luo cultivator were to take action, it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years to find out the truth.

So Maitreya is clearly trying to stall for time!

The Copy Emperor was instantly enraged: "You think that just because you've given up your physical body, I can't do anything to you?!"

[My fellow disciples, take Him back to the Tushita Heaven Palace. I want to personally refine Him using the Supreme Master's Eight Trigrams Furnace. I don't believe I can't break His state of mind.]

【Yes! 】

So the six Golden Immortals gripped the chains tightly and flew towards the heavens with Maitreya's physical body.

【No! ! 】

A startled cry suddenly came from the direction of the Great Snow Mountain.

Immediately following, towering flames shot into the sky, melting away the endless snow and wind of the entire Great Snow Mountain.

Dipankara Buddha, leading his Buddhist army, finally arrived at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain and began a frenzied assault on it.

In order to save Maitreya Buddha and the Buddha's Nirvana relics in His hands, Buddhist monks fearlessly set their own present and future lives on fire!
At the cost of his soul being scattered, he borrowed power from the future life and unleashed a power far beyond imagination.

Indra, who was originally confident that he could hold out for three days, found that he had underestimated the faith of the Buddhas and was caught off guard.

Good Vision City was suddenly in grave danger.

The Heavenly Emperor's coffin, which was traveling through the sky, suddenly trembled.
If it weren't for the coffin lid holding it down, the headless corpse of Shang Hao inside might have lifted the coffin and started cursing at the Buddhist and Heavenly Court officials.

That damn bastard!

What kind of time is this to be fighting each other like this?
I'm going to drag the whole world down with me now!
The world will be dragged down with them!

Could you please show me some respect and quickly find a way to save my life?
Unfortunately, the Supreme Emperor is already dead in reality. What remains in his corpse is merely a resentful simulated personality, incapable of getting up and cursing.

So He made the decision.

Let's add a little more pressure to these bastards, so they won't be in a hurry.

And then, with a whoosh!
The Jade Void Golden Immortal, Maitreya Buddha, who was returning to the Heavenly Court, suddenly disappeared from reality and entered the second timeline of the Heavenly Realm.

The Buddhist monks, including Randeng, were immediately struck by the sight.
Without hesitation, he opened the cultivation assistance panel, accepted the mission to rescue the Heavenly Emperor, and disappeared from the spot.

Indra sighed softly.
They had no choice but to bite the bullet and abandon the geographical advantage of Shanjian City, leading their army to chase after them and rescue the people of Yuxu Palace!

One move can revitalize the entire game.

The forces of Buddhism and Heaven were drawn into a completely new battlefield.

Maitreya, who was deeply hidden in his own inner world, couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.

Amitabha Buddha. In the end, was he unable to escape his predetermined fate?

Buddha, is this what you wanted?

The relics of the Buddha after his Nirvana emitted a faint light.

The Buddha's light is devoid of sorrow or joy.
