Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 225 Persuasion
—At this moment, the old monk was still explaining this scene.

“This humble monk has long known that Maitreya Bodhisattva’s influence has been deeply eroded and there is no possibility of saving him. Therefore, this old monk only intends to use Him as an anchor to carry out this method of saving the world.”

“Maitreya is defiled, but the Tushita Heaven where He resides is not defiled. So this humble monk has come up with a brilliant plan—that is, to first let Maitreya descend to this world, and then use a special method to forcibly cleanse everything in the Tushita Heaven. In this way, Maitreya preaches in the world and defiles this world into a demon kingdom on earth, but it will not affect anything in the Tushita Heaven Palace in the slightest.”

"Although the people were killed by Maitreya, their souls were not destroyed. They will be directly guided to Tushita Heaven, where there are no classes, no suffering, and they will enjoy eternal peace."

After hearing this, Zhou You was speechless for a moment.

This monk's plan is fucking brilliant!
Going into detail might be too complicated, but it can actually be summarized in just two sentences.

This monk plans to use the human world as hell, and then use paradise as the human world!

...Even at my most insane, I couldn't have come up with this solution!

But the problem is
Zhou You suddenly realized something and looked up again.

From the moment they arrived until now, all those devout men and women have maintained the same posture, and their expressions have not changed at all.

“I said, monk, these people don’t seem to be moving at all.”

The old monk clasped his hands and sighed.

"Now that you have ascended to paradise, there is naturally no need to move."

"Can they still speak?"

"Since you have already ascended to paradise, there is naturally no need for words."

"Don't tell me I can't even think."

"Since you have already ascended to paradise, there is naturally no need for thought."

After saying that, the old monk calmly continued.

"If they move, they will inevitably have disputes; if they speak, they will inevitably have arguments; if they think, they will inevitably have malice. I do not wish to have saved the world for so long only to repeat the evils of humanity. Therefore, I will let them immerse themselves in this eternal joy and not feel anything else."

"."

Zhou You remained silent for a few moments, then spoke.

"In that case, there's only one last question left."

"What does all this have to do with me?"

The old monk pursed his lips, then suddenly sighed.

"It seems... you've already noticed?"

Zhou You just pursed his lips.

“I say, monk, the problem is that you don’t notice, right? You’ve been paying so much attention to me, going to great lengths to pull me into your dreams, and now you’re explaining things to me so kindly—you’re even more attentive than your disciple Zhengde—so… why are you going to such lengths to find me?”

The old monk remained silent for a long time before continuing.

"It's very simple, because you are the chosen one."

"What is a person destined for greatness?"

The old monk stared at Zhou You's face, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"He who corrects all distortions will naturally be the man of destiny."

After speaking, the old monk glanced at the almost non-existent Buddha light beside him, and suddenly stood up from the lotus platform—his body, which had shrunk to the extreme, suddenly straightened up.

Then, he spoke with an air of arrogance.

“Benefactor, I have said all I need to say. Now I only wish to ask the chosen one—that is, you, benefactor, one question.”

The old monk's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed like thunder in the sky within the dilapidated hall.

"May I ask you, benefactor, would you be willing to join me in saving this world?"

Looking at the old monk's white-bearded face, Zhou You suddenly laughed.

What if I agree?

The old monk answered with his head held high.

“If you are willing to redeem this world, I, this humble monk, am willing to relinquish everything I have accumulated, including this Maitreya Buddha and this near-Buddhahood—all I ask is that you sit on this lotus throne and relinquish the right to correct this karmic connection.” “You’ve given me everything, what will you do afterward?”

The old monk's voice showed no hesitation.

"His soul will be scattered and he will perish."

At the same time, a long-unheard female voice rang in Zhou You's ears.

"Congratulations, player! You have achieved the hidden ending: Obeying Fate. You can heed the request of the monk 'Pu Hui' and sit on the Lotus Platform of Compassionate Light to complete this destiny. Please note that if you make this choice, it will be assumed that you have completed the main quest 'Participating in the Three Altars Dharma Assembly,' and you will also receive the blessing of Maitreya Buddha and obtain additional rewards."

Zhou You, however, paid no attention to the system. He stared at the old monk's face and suddenly laughed.

"Then what if I disagree?"

Upon hearing this, the old monk's expression slowly turned cold.

“Then I can only deal with you the same way I dealt with my disciple—but please think it over carefully, even though I am nearing the end of my life, the final measures I will take are not something you can afford to bear.”

After those words were spoken, the hall fell into complete silence.

The old monk did not urge him, and Zhou You remained silent.

After a long time.

Zhou You then raised his head, revealing a bright and sunny smile.

"I'm sorry, my choice is... not to do it."

Unexpectedly, the old monk did not get angry, but asked softly.

"May I ask why?"

"It's simple, I just don't like it."

".Just that?"

"That's all."

Upon hearing this extremely simple answer, the old monk slowly closed his eyes.

“Zhengde said I was wrong, and you, the chosen one, also say I was wrong. Perhaps this humble monk is indeed wrong, but unfortunately, this humble monk is just like this, and I will never admit my mistake, even if it means death.”

"Now that the world is in decline, gods and Buddhas are corrupted, and there is a celestial demon about to awaken, I still believe that this is the only way to save the world in the face of this catastrophe."

"so."

The old monk slowly opened his eyes, which remained calm and still, devoid of any emotion.

"So let this humble monk see if, in my humble opinion, I can stop you, the chosen one!"

At the same time, the last ray of Buddhist light surrounding the old monk also disappeared.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou You drew his sword and charged forward!

But the next moment, the entire hall—no, the entire Dharma realm—began to tremble.

The old monk stood on the lotus platform and spoke calmly.

"Does the benefactor know what the last guardian of Winged Head City is?"

"Not those wax figures and monsters, nor those Yakshas and Arhats, not even this humble monk himself, but..."

"Among the eight classes of heavenly dragons, the dragons once listened to the Buddha's teachings and were the first dragon kings to be enlightened to become Buddhas when Maitreya descended to earth."

"—The Buddhist scriptures say: At that time, there was a dragon king in the city named Shuiguang, who brought fragrant rain at night and peace and tranquility during the day."

"Therefore, this dragon is called: Dorashiki!"

moment.

A giant dragon head emerged from the ground and swallowed the old monk and his lotus throne whole.
