From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 246 A Formal Invitation from Buddhism

After everyone gained a deeper understanding of "Buddha" and "Bodhisattva" and felt even more apprehensive than before, Professor Thomas calmly began the next stage of his process.

"Don't panic, everyone. This is just a guess. The actual situation is definitely more complicated and mysterious. Maybe it's because of the arrival of supernatural beings that the power level has increased?"

"Let's not scare ourselves unnecessarily. After all, this is an Indian matter, and that old sage didn't expect our help, so let's just watch and see!"

His words drew chuckles from those around him.

That makes sense. What do they have to do with what's happening in the South Asian subcontinent?
This is a country that is even the furthest away from America, so even if something happens, it will mostly have nothing to do with them!

Besides, it's that country known worldwide for its stubbornness, so it's even less relevant to them. Compared to their own worries, it's definitely more interesting to watch India have a good time.

After figuring this out, everyone's eyes gradually cleared.

Then, Professor Thomas continued his performance, "I just want to remind everyone that if this Bodhisattva has such great power, then what about the real Buddha? The Tathagata? And by analogy, how powerful is our Lord?"

This cryptic message from Catholicism was implanted into everyone's ears without any pressure, and it made everyone think more deeply. Yes, the Lord can encompass such a vast territory, so he must be more powerful than others, right?

Thomas stopped there, then changed the subject, "Therefore, what we're going to talk about next is the issue of that special virtual world!"

"We need to make one thing clear: this virtual world is not the virtual world you understand. It is a special world that can hold souls!"

“There are many American people in Calcutta, including our factory workers, merchants, lawyers, and immigrants. So they were all caught up in the incident three days ago and suffered heavy losses. According to statistics, less than a third of them have recovered from that nightmare!”

"The rest of them all became part of the 'Shapers' outside Calcutta!"

These words sent chills down the spines of many people.

The treatment of this group of people was something everyone had heard about. This terrible disaster didn't care whether you were an indigenous person of India or not; instead, it determined how you were dealt with based on the assessment of "good and evil."

Ironically, how many good Americans are actually working in this city? Most of them are now working outside of Kolkata.

"An engineer, after waking up in a mountain range called Lion Camel Ridge, chose to take the fastest flight back to America. Through his story, we can glimpse some aspects of this world!"

"It was a massive mountain range made up of demons and monsters. The souls of everyone in the city appeared within it and transformed into various demons, monsters, or humans who were devoured!"

"The dead will reappear in a corner, becoming food for humans or monsters, or becoming predators of these people, in an endless cycle!"

“Our engineer is a Puritan and a conservative. He cannot accept cannibalism, nor does he want to be eaten. Therefore, he chose to leave the populated areas and go deep into the mountains!”

"That's probably why he survived, while many others, whether they were company executives or regional managers, did not escape!"

According to them, these people's souls should still be in that hell, undergoing baptism!

Hearing this, the blond-haired man frowned and asked, "Professor Thomas, we all know that, but what exactly are you trying to say?"

“A third of the people in Calcutta survived, and the only difference between them was that they had a kind nature!” Professor Thomas said.

"Therefore, considering the events in Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Illinois, Miami, Malmö, Reykjavik, Rome, Sicily, and now Kolkata, it's not hard to see that almost all the people who survived or had extraordinary opportunities in this series of events were kind people!"

“They are just, upright, fair, and kind, not evil, furious, or malicious!” Thomas said slowly, his words gradually getting closer to the essence of the matter. “Therefore, we have concluded a very special pattern!”

"That is, the legitimate religions in this world are basically biased towards justice and goodness. They will favor you because of your kindness. On the contrary, if you are angry and evil, you are more likely to be targeted by those special dark creatures!"

"For example, the current vampire groups in Illinois, the werewolf groups in New York, and the special demon cults in Miami are all more inclined towards malice!" "In other words, if a place really does become supernatural in the future, the first people we need to understand are those who are devout, benevolent, and not of very high status?" How clever Jinmao was! He immediately drew inferences from the supernatural beings he had encountered!

"To be precise, people in high positions are unlikely to be benevolent..." Someone quietly summarized this sentence, which won everyone's agreement. This sentence is indeed very true. How can people who have reached such positions win the respect of the masses if they are not ruthless and black-hearted?

How can one hold a high position if one cannot win the hearts and minds of the people?

"But what does such speculation prove?" the Secretary of State asked again. Everyone was somewhat familiar with these words, but how were they related to what they were discussing now?
Professor Thomas then dropped his bombshell: "I've spoken with Cardinal Angus, Pope Mario, and Saint Caroline. I've gained some information from them, and I've also been negotiating with the natives to the south and have gained their approval!"

"In this shared understanding, I discovered something I had previously speculated about, but which has now been confirmed: the resurrection of the gods!"

"It is only recently that myths from various places and gods from different countries have been revived from history, which is why we have seen those miracles during this period!"

"Unsurprisingly, there should be more myths revived and more myths descending in the future. I hope that such things can serve as a wake-up call for everyone!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

This old priest and professor, who already had connections with the Vatican, was practically pointing his finger at them and warning them not to do anything as uncontrollable as some others!
I hope they do something good and stop acting so recklessly and doing bad things!
If anyone had dared to speak to them like that before, they would have made sure the other person knew just how valuable the stock market gurus on Capitol Hill really were!

But now, when they think about the people behind the other side, everyone has given up.

Previously, the other party was just an academic luminary, but now, this Professor Thomas is a close friend of Cardinal Angus Bennett, who oversees all affairs in the Americas, and one of the few people in this land who can enter the Los Angeles Cathedral.

No one dared to, nor did they want to, provoke the Vatican.

They could only sulk and ponder what the professor had said.

Although Thomas's words were harsh, his reasoning was sound. They would definitely be dealing with more gods and cults in the future, and it would be best to avoid such malicious things.

The extraordinary emergence of the Golden Retriever has indeed changed the course of this country, and many people ultimately chose to pass the Golden Retriever's "Action to Improve National Treatment Act".

After all, with the emergence of supernatural beings and the world in turmoil, if the common people aren't given some benefits, they might turn against malicious supernatural beings in a fit of rage. They would end up like those who drank the blood of veterans, turning into charred corpses under the devil's revenge!

They didn't notice that the golden retriever and Professor Thomas actually exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

This was, of course, at the behest of the Golden Retriever. He used the extraordinary events to gradually seize power in the country and began to transform it.

Originally, he only wanted to protect his family, but now, under the threat of supernatural forces, his wish for "MAGA" has actually become possible.

"Your Excellency, there is an email from Calcutta that is addressed to you, and the header is 'Shinra'!"

Just as everyone was still immersed in this terrifying situation and the horrifying future, someone walked in and placed a tablet in front of the golden retriever.

The content on the tablet, however, was a very formal invitation.

As the temporary administrator of Calcutta, Jinro extended an invitation to the world on behalf of the city to witness a special "ceremony".

"This humble monk Zhenluo cordially invites guests from all corners of the world to visit Calcutta in two days. The Blood Moon is approaching, the Heavenly Demons are about to descend, and the Underworld will appear!"

This is actually an invitation from Shinra, extending to the whole world to witness the establishment of the Underworld!
