He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 229 Argel: Thanks for the Bo Xun Fragment, my friend

Above the city of Flame, the illusory starry sky disappeared.

Su Nian's figure also appeared, followed by a pure-looking white-haired, red-eyed loli.

Her gaze swept over the worried and fearful crowd below, and Su Nian's lips curled into a smile as she announced in a tone tinged with joy.

"Although there were some minor issues, the ultimate trial for humanity, absolute evil—Az Dakkaha—has been successfully defeated."

"Gentlemen, now we can begin the real celebration."

"The central authority is proof that we have won!"

With a forceful wave of Su Nian's hand, the certification for the central hub of the miniature garden, which should have arrived long ago, finally came.

The spirits of everyone present who participated in the campaign against Azdaqah began to swell rapidly, and they all received their due rewards.

And human history, which had been stagnant, finally began to slowly move forward at this moment.

The next instant, cheers like a volcanic eruption resounded across the sky above the City of Flames.

Everyone chanted Su Nian's name loudly, praising her actions with all sorts of compliments.

Thanks to his planning and preparation, the casualties in this campaign against Azdaqah were far lower than those in the Canary campaign. Although many people were injured, the number of deaths was not high.

Of course, Su Nian didn't pay attention to the commotion below at this moment.

Su Nian flashed and instantly appeared in her previous seat, looking at the two Buddhas with amusement.

"Why haven't you left yet? The lower level hasn't been destroyed either. Although Azdakarha resurrected once, I successfully killed him."

"So what brings you all here?"

Seeing the two increasingly flustered Buddhas and the weapons hidden behind their backs, Su Nian's lips curled into a smirk, and she spoke in an icy tone.

"You two aren't planning to ambush me while I'm weakened after defeating Azdahah, are you?"

"How is this possible?"

Dingguang Buddha was stunned when he saw Su Nian's cold expression, wondering how he knew.

They had originally planned to do so, after all, how could they not see that Su Nian's aura had suddenly weakened considerably after taking a hit from Azdaha?
Although Azdaqah wasn't much better off.

According to calculations by powerful figures within Buddhism, and based on the strength Su Nian has demonstrated, the path Su Nian cultivates is actually similar to that of Kurima, except that Su Nian leans more towards the universe, while Kurima focuses on the world.

Su Nian naturally couldn't withstand Azdaqah's attacks. Even if she defeated Azdaqah, she would at least be injured when she came out.
The energy was even stronger than before. What's going on?

And that little girl behind Su Nian, that must be Azdakha, right? Absolutely!
So how did you overcome humanity's ultimate trial? Did turning the other person into a loli count as overcoming it?

Without knowing what had happened in the false universe inside the illusory star Tai Sui, the powerful Buddhist monks who were supposed to come to help did not arrive.

Even the two of them combined might not be enough to defeat Su Nian with a single punch. What could they possibly do?

We can only pretend nothing happened.

Thinking of this, Dingguang Buddha and Jinguang Xian immediately dispersed their Buddhist Dharma bodies and revealed their true appearances: a middle-aged man with a square face, exceptionally long earlobes, and a beer belly, and a man with a goatee and a slender build.

“Benefactor Su, we have come to offer our congratulations.”

With a smile, Dingguang Buddha quickly approached Su Nian on a cloud, and put his hands together in prayer.

"I was very rude just now, and I hope Benefactor Su will forgive me."

"Oh? Since it's a congratulatory occasion, there must be some gifts, right?"

At this moment, Su Nian looked at the two smiling guys in front of her and felt a little disgusted, but she still forced herself to speak.

Bah! Do you really think I don't know what you were thinking when Az Dakhaha and I were in the Void Star Tai Sui?

As an evil god representing malice, how could Azidakaha possibly perceive the malice that Dingguangfo and Jinguangxian harbored towards him?

Before they even came out, Azdakha warned Su Nian to keep an eye on the two guys, saying that if Su Nian became weak, they would attack him.

“Yes, yes, to congratulate you on leading countless heroes to successfully defeat Azdaqah, this gift is absolutely necessary.”

Jin Guangxian echoed, while inwardly urging his superiors to send someone quickly.

They were really at their breaking point, completely unsure of what Su Nian would think next. They desperately needed someone to take charge.

"I wonder what kind of gift Benefactor Su Nian would like? This humble monk will prepare it right away."

Dingguang Buddha smiled gently, holding up a flower, and said with a kind and benevolent expression.

At this moment, Su Nian's lips curled up slightly, her eyes widened, and she tried her best to look innocent and cute as she looked up at Dingguang Buddha and said.

“Uncle Dingguang Buddha, I want... a fragment of Mara’s spirit.”

Wait, isn't something wrong here?

Dingguang Buddha and Jin Guangxian were stunned for a moment, their eyes filled with confusion.

They looked at each other, and if they hadn't both seen the bewildered look in each other's eyes, they would have thought they were dreaming.

No? When did they tell Su Nian that they had fragments of Mara's spirit?

And how did Su Nian know they had this thing?
Damn it, what kind of congratulatory gift is this? Su Nian, the way you open your mouth is enough to make him die if he sees it.

Let alone taking it out, the mere fact that the news was leaked is enough for the Bodhisattvas and powerful beings above to execute him.

Dingguang Buddha's face contorted as he tried to say something, but Su Nian interrupted him.

"I heard from Al-chan that when she was defeated by Shakyamuni, Mara's spirit shattered into countless fragments and fell into the hands of Buddhism."

Su Nian's expression held a hint of anticipation, as well as curiosity about Alger.

"Al said that if I can find the fragment of Mara's Spirit for her, she wants to do some fun things with me."

Su Nian's expression at this moment was like that of a naive little brother who had been deceived by his bad older sister.

Isn’t that right?
Arger said that once she has collected and repaired Mara's spirit, she might be able to rise up and seize most of the merits of the Buddha's current decline, and then become a double-digit figure.

Then they could capture Athena and train her to be Su Nian's exclusive, unapproachable companion.

Of course, in Su Nian's view, the success rate was just as high as the text message she received: "Trust me, I am Qin Shi Huang, add me 50 times, and I will appoint you as a great general after I am resurrected."

However, this does not prevent Su Nian from using Alger to cause trouble for Buddhism. In any case, even if Alger fails, he will definitely be able to make further progress.

It's just something I did on a whim, so I won't lose out no matter what.

As for how Su Nian found out about this news?
Polka Kaka's Omniscient Domain is MVP, in order to monitor the Flame City in case someone tries to cause trouble.

Athena temporarily lent her wisdom to Polka Kakamu, which was equivalent to Polka Kakamu being offline and connected to Boshizun, in addition to Alger's supervision.

Even though Dingguang Buddha and Jin Guangxian used special methods to communicate, it was still captured and deciphered.

It was only through Alger's telepathic message that Su Nian learned that these two actually possessed such a valuable item.

He even planned to go mad with evil spirits and teach Su Nian a lesson.

Something that should make people happy... made Dingguang Buddha's face turn green.

Could you come up with an even more convincing excuse? Who are you trying to fool with this act of a spoiled brat being deceived by a bad woman? Didn't you say it was a bride price before?

It doesn't seem like there's any difference... It's not wrong for a young little brother to like a seductive primordial demon sister.

That was close; I almost got convinced.

"Benefactor Su, isn't this somewhat inappropriate...?"

"What's inappropriate about that?"

Su Nian's expression changed, becoming somewhat dangerous.

"Uncle Dingguang Buddha, I don't think you'd want me to ask my sister for it, would you?"

"No, no, no, what I mean is that the way you address me, Benefactor Su, is somewhat inappropriate."

Dingguang Buddha wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some fear.

"How could this humble monk dare to be His Highness Su Nian's uncle?"

Su Nian and World King Buddha are siblings, so if we convert it that way, wouldn't he become World King Buddha's uncle? How could he dare to do that?
"Oh, is that so? Then that means this gift is quite suitable~~"

Looking at the Buddha Dingguang, Su Nian said with a smile.

Dingguang Buddha's lips twitched, and a crying smile appeared on his face.

"Indeed, this gift is very appropriate."

He paused for a moment, then said hesitantly.

"But isn't this gift a little... oh, of course, I mean not inappropriate, but..."

"If it's suitable, then give it to me?"

Su Nian seized the opportunity to interject, revealing an expectant expression.

“I just heard you transmit your voices saying that the fragment of Mara’s spirit is on you.”

"Or are you saying you don't intend to go astray in your cultivation?"

"Give it to him, Dingguang!!"

Just then, Jin Guangxian, who was next to Dingguang Buddha, finally spoke.

After being silent for so long, he finally understood the current situation.

They were completely led by the nose by Su Nian, and the initiative was entirely in Su Nian's hands.

Moreover, the fact that their superiors haven't responded or come to their aid for so long can only mean one thing: their superiors have also been blocked.

They had no choice but to follow Su Nian's wishes.

Upon hearing this, Dingguang Buddha sighed deeply, wiped away a cold sweat, and confirmed that no one was watching him from behind.

"Don't worry, this place is covered by my simulated star map and the solar sovereignty I hold, so no one can monitor or predict what is happening here."

Su Nian smiled, stood up, and patted Dingguang Buddha on the shoulder.

"Young man, you need to be more sensible."

Dingguang Buddha looked at Su Nian with resentment. He was clearly an uncle just a moment ago, how come he has turned into a young man in an instant?

"Alright, Benefactor Su, please don't reveal this matter."

Dingguang Buddha cupped his hands in greeting to Su Nian.

Now, they've been completely forced onto Su Nian's pirate ship, and have even become traitors within the Buddhist sect's artificial Buddha lineage.

"It's natural."

Upon hearing this, Su Nian smiled.

It's a pity that this Dingguang Buddha wasn't as sensible as Jinguang Xian; he took the wrong path.

However, Su Nian also knew that this was probably due to the fact that Dingguang Buddha was in charge.

Jin Guangxian was too sensible and too clever, which made the higher-ups somewhat uneasy. On the contrary, the simpler Dingguang Buddha was easier to control.

"But Benefactor Su, how should we face the powerful beings above?"

"I am somewhat afraid," said Dingguang Buddha.

As is widely known, the Buddha of Delight and Light was actually one of the artificial Buddhas created during the ancient Chinese Buddhist movement.

It is a symbolic offering to the Taiyin Star Lord in Taoism, also known as the Rabbit God in folklore, and is also mentioned in the story of Investiture of the Gods.

As is well known, rabbits are the most timid and fearful creatures.

How could he dare to commit such a betrayal if he wasn't absolutely certain he had no other choice, and if Jin Guangxian was leading the way?
The key issue is that he has already leaked this information to his superiors.

What if they find out that he didn't do things well, and that he even handed over the prepared killing move, the fragment of Mara?

His fate will probably be no better than challenging the trend of decadence.

"It's a small matter. Just say that you went mad with your cultivation and tried to attack me, but you were captured by the Heavenly Army before you could even make a move."

Su Nian waved to Uesugi Kenshin, Mata, and Shiva in the distance.

Although they were the twelve protectors of the Heavenly Army and have already retired, this does not mean they cannot be rehired.

Just like Shiva, well, he now holds a position under Athena's heavenly army.

She's an old woman who's always looking to make money; there's almost nothing she won't do.

Dipankara Buddha sighed helplessly, stretched out his hands, and was handcuffed by Shiva without any resistance, restricting his spiritual power.

"At least that's one reason, isn't it?"

As for those in higher positions, whether they believe it or not is not something they can decide.

However, Dingguang Buddha felt that the upper class would still believe, but he would probably have to spend a lot of money, even though he didn't have much savings.

Su Nian's preparations were so thorough that no one could have imagined that Di Shitian and the others would come to help.
"Shiva, these two are about to launch a sneak attack on me."

Su Nian gave Shiva a look.

"Oh? Is that so? Then it seems we need to deal with this seriously."

Shiva immediately understood what Su Nian meant. Su Nian was really kind; she didn't forget to help her make money even when she had it.

Su Nian's implication was that these two should be charged with as many crimes as possible, and if the Buddhist sect wanted to bail them out, they would have to pay a heavy price.

As for the price, Su Nian's family is wealthy and doesn't care about this little bit.

Let Shiva have a pleasant discussion with the Buddhist sect. This will also help reduce suspicion surrounding these two guys and give Su Nian one or two more informants within the Buddhist sect.
