From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 279 The Division and Disassembly of the God of Thieves

(Going out was such an ordeal, all sorts of things happened, I felt like I wanted to die, and I couldn't sleep well. Thank goodness I'm back!)
To put it simply, Fang Ergu's mental journey can be summarized as follows:

"What haven't I seen? It's just poisonous wish power, right? I've seen it all before!"

No, I've never seen this before!

What is this? What is that thing? Don't come any closer!

Thus, the visitor, who should have been incredibly powerful, a mid-level god, and even renowned throughout the continent of Dylan as the "God of Thieves," fell to these special wishes.

This is why Bai Yang is so wary of these wishes.

The aspirations of these Indians are so extreme that only those in the Buddhist community, who are even more extreme in their beliefs, could accept them.

Take Wutian for example. He was a product of this kind of evil, but due to certain special elements of Buddhism, he was transformed into a "Bodhisattva".

However, Bai Yang still didn't believe that this "Buddha Wutian" was really so revered or had truly transformed into a Bodhisattva; he simply thought that he had found the right path.

The story of the Buddha Wutian is far from over, and there will likely be much more to unfold in the future.

"How about we create a virtual world for them in the future? Let them bring their followers in and compete?" Bai Yang thought happily, feeling that it had potential.

However, that's a matter for the future, so there's no rush now.

With the situation in Southeast Asia resolved, Bai Yang turned his attention back to Fang Ergu's current physical condition.

Whether "he" can still be called "Fang Ergu" is still a question mark.

The two arrived at a deserted island in the vast Pacific Ocean, where they saw "Fang Ergu," which should now be called a "living corpse."

Because the soul that should have belonged to the god of thieves in the other party had been completely torn apart by the endless power of will, losing its self-awareness and becoming a "god" who had no idea who he was.

Calling him a god would be inaccurate, because his divine nature has been stripped away by Bai Yang and turned into a tool in his hands.

The nascent consciousness of a newborn slowly emerged on this body, and it was looking at them unconsciously. That naive feeling was very clear.

“This is what we need: the consciousness of a newly born deity. Perhaps it can serve as the origin material for Buddhism!” Bai Yang said, continuing to look at this peculiar being. “I cannot leave him here, because of the Thief God’s hidden nature. If he is truly alive, he might be hiding within his divinity!”

Bai Yang also had some understanding of the gods of the Dylan Continent, and those gods who died and came back to life, and came back to life and died again, were of utmost importance to him!
These deities are very difficult to kill because their essence belongs to something higher, and they are even bound to the long river of history, which is why they can repeatedly reappear in history.

Therefore, facing this newly formed "consciousness," Bai Yang showed no pity and decisively reached out to grab it, allowing his virtual willpower to invade and cleanse it anew!

At that very moment, Bai Yang sensed something unusual—a special true spirit, a nearly complete "consciousness storage."

"Ha, found you!" Bai Yang revealed a mysterious smile, and before the other party could react, he had already thrown this unknown consciousness into the fire beside him.

This is the divine fire of Jehovah, and also the most powerful tool of destruction in Bai Yang's hands. No matter what kind of consciousness it is, it cannot survive in this flame!

"Your Majesty, your insight is unparalleled!" Alvin exclaimed in surprise. He had never expected that this seemingly harmless God of Thieves would have such a hidden trick up his sleeve!
Bai Yang waved his hand, "No need to flatter me, I didn't see it. I was just putting myself in others' shoes! If it were me, I would also think of this way to survive. As long as you're alive, there's still hope, isn't there?"

He had a cheerful expression, but his demeanor was utterly cold. "These gods have lived for so many years, you can't be too careful!"

Thus, the renowned Thief God Fang Ergu of the Dylan Continent has fallen completely.

Bai Yang began to extract the remaining value from this being of intermediate divine power: "Dark elf male, thief, spy, underground trade... these are Fang Ergu's divine duties, and his divinity is quite interesting: secret deception, trap transformation, and effortless trading!"

First, it must be made clear that his easy elimination of this person with intermediate divine power does not mean that the other party was weak.

In fact, Fang Ergu was an extremely powerful deity. The very fact that he had aligned himself with the evil forces proved his strength. The reason he failed here was mainly because Bai Yang had anticipated his attack but was caught off guard. Fang Ergu didn't even have to use any of his abilities before his soul defenses were destroyed in one fell swoop by the immense power of will, rendering all his power futile.

It was precisely because of Bai Yang's abilities that Alvin was "amazed" by his actions. The sheer audacity of his ideas and the breadth of his execution were things Alvin had never seen before!

That is precisely why they reaped such enormous profits from this design!

If Bai Yang wanted to, he could directly create four god-level characters using these four divine positions. Adding Fang Ergu's body and soul, that would make five god-level combatants!
"Ha, I've figured out the divine aspect of this underground transaction, how to proceed!" Bai Yang's eyes lit up, and he became excited. "Isn't the interaction between believers and gods also a kind of transaction?"

He selected this priesthood and began his own design, reconstruction, and reshaping, adding his own ideas to it!

In a sense, the relationship between believers and deities is indeed a transaction. Believers offer their faith, loyalty, and obedience, and in return, they receive a portion of the power from the deities through their willpower.

This was originally part of the divine system designed by Bai Yang. However, the so-called gifts in the past were actually done by Bai Yang and Alvin themselves, and such interactions naturally contained various unnecessary aspects.

"Now, our deification will add this authority to the exchange of faith!"

Now, all future interactions will be "automatic"!

As he stripped away, reconstructed, and added this divine authority to his own fabricated divinity, all future gods and believers, demons and fallen ones, Buddhas and Buddhist followers...

Such interactions have all adopted new patterns!
The gifts from the gods will appear to be more formal, and there will be new channels for interaction between pantheons!

More importantly, because of the “secret” and “free” nature of this interaction, believers may become even more convinced of the power and holiness of the gods!

This transformation, which could even be written into the rules of the world, is only one-fifth of the legacy of Falgu.

From this, one can imagine how terrifying the boost that a being of intermediate divine power would bring to Bai Yang would be!

"Sure enough, rules that you compile, think about, strengthen, and integrate yourself are never as useful as those that are directly taken from the source," Bai Yang said with a smile, watching as this special permission slowly merged into the extraordinary settings of this world.

In the future, as the power of will system continues to strengthen, this authority will gradually and truly transform into the rules of the world, becoming part of the real rules designed by Bai Yang!

"This is truly a huge gift!" Bai Yang nodded, saving the remaining permissions for later, and then took out Fang Ergu's body and his soul, which had been so ravaged that its essence was no longer discernible.

He hadn't yet figured out the specific uses for the remaining divine positions or powers, so he put them aside for now. He wanted to use the other party's divine body to truly bring out the essence of Buddhism.

The essence of Catholicism lies in the "fire of Jehovah" that is burning brightly, in the rule-based history book that is rewriting history!

The essence of Norse mythology lies in Yggdrasil, the World Tree, the realm of gods and the pantheon that is being conceived!

Now, the essence of Buddhism has a tangible form!
Bai Yang looked at everything before him with a smile, having already made his plans.

"After all, it is a body of medium divine power. It may not be suitable for shaping Mount Sumeru, but it should be fine as a vessel for a Buddha and to guide the power of Buddhism!"

Bai Yang said, "Yes, he plans to establish Buddhism in the illusory spiritual world, because that is the essence of Buddhism or the Western Paradise!"
This is a sect with infinite power in the spiritual world, and it is also the basic setting that Bai Yang prepared for them.

His hand brushed over Fang Ergu's body, slowly transforming this divine body belonging to the dark elves into a stone Buddha statue in his hands. And the Buddha statue carved on it was none other than Shakyamuni.

"Amitabha Buddha, who could have imagined that this ordinary Buddha statue would be the node connecting Buddhism to the spiritual world in this world?"

Bai Yang waved his hand, sending the Buddha statue to the far north, to the Japanese archipelago!
The development of Mahayana Buddhism began here, and it can be considered a safety net for them.

"Prepare Alvin, our faith-based annexation plan is about to begin!"

P.S.: The story of our everyday life is about to begin! I've been looking forward to it for so long!
