Starting from Ainz Ooal Gown, simultaneously traveling through time

Leylin now knows the specific information about the [Two Realms Mandala].

"In the original game, to obtain it, you would first have to overcome the checkpoints guarded by numerous bosses such as [Guardian Vajra] and [Dharma King].

"Then we have to solve a complex mystery about the correspondence between the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Vajradhatu and Garbhadhatu realms before we can finally obtain this thangka and complete the recognition of its owner."

Leylin nodded secretly.

This process is well-suited to the setting of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), combining challenge and fun.

When this item descends into the real world along with the player "Buddha God", the physical entity guarding the BOSS naturally ceases to exist.

But the profound test that revealed the connection between the "two worlds" was preserved in some form and became the key to gaining recognition.

In the original story, Ainz Ooal Gown was eventually able to obtain it, presumably with Kino's help, by passing this test.

"As for me..." Lei Lin's lips curled up slightly, "I guess I successfully skipped class."

He neither fought a boss nor solved a puzzle; he relied purely on extraordinary power.

It combined the vast spiritual power of the Dragon King's authority with the domineering power of the word "Heaven and Earth as Furnace," forcibly "carving" a crack in that perfectly self-consistent spatial barrier and squeezing in.

Then, using force, the most brutal refining and binding were completed.

There probably isn't a way to obtain power by "creating bugs using supernormal abilities" in the game, because the game system itself limits the player's ability ceiling and operational possibilities.

However, in the real world, there are no absolute system restrictions, and "great strength makes bricks fly" is often the most effective pass.

After fully mastering the [Two Realms Mandala], its detailed effects were clearly presented in Leylin's consciousness.

"First is the basic effect common to all world-class items—[World Guardian]."

Leylin felt that invisible and intangible power that seemed to connect his own existence with certain "absolute rules".

"It grants me immunity to some of the special effects of other world-class items, and in this real world, this protection seems to extend even to primal magic... This is exactly what I need right now!"

With this layer of protection, the Soul-Destroying Breath of the Decaying Coffin Dragon King will no longer be an insurmountable nightmare.

"Secondly, it is the unique core ability of the [Two Realms Mandala]."

Raylin's gaze seemed to penetrate the spatial structure of this pure land, revealing its inherent binary division.

Inside this prop, there are indeed two independent yet related subspaces, corresponding to the "Diamond Realm" and the "Garbhadhatu Realm".

When the holder actively enters the "Vajradhatu Mandala" space, they will receive a temporary buff called "Five Wisdoms".

"The Five Wisdoms are the 'Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom,' 'Equality Wisdom,' 'Wonderful Observation Wisdom,' 'Accomplishment Wisdom,' and 'Dharmadhatu Wisdom' as described in Buddhism."

"In the concept of spiritual practice, this corresponds to the progression from superficial sensory cognition (the first five senses) to deep thinking (the sixth consciousness, the seventh manas consciousness), and finally to perfect wisdom that touches upon the essence of the universe and absolute purity (the eighth alaya consciousness, the ninth amala consciousness)."

"In mythology, if a person can acquire the Five Wisdoms, he can become a Buddha."

Leilin understood the meaning behind it.

In terms of the manifestation of game effects, the [Five Wisdoms] state manifests as an extremely domineering temporary effect—[Absolute Invincibility]!

During this period, the holder will be in an "invincible" state, completely immune to any form of harm or influence.

Even the effects of other world-class items cannot penetrate this layer of protection.

To attack, you must wait for its invincibility period to end.

"Unfortunately, the [Five Wisdoms] state has a limited duration and a very long cooldown, so it can basically be considered a powerful move that can only be used once per battle," Leylin assessed.

If this could be maintained indefinitely, the holder would be truly invincible, and the game would be pointless. Obviously, the game designers would not allow such a situation that disrupts the balance to occur.

When the holder enters the "Womb Realm Mandala" space, they will receive the buff of "Abstinence from the Five Poisons".

"The Five Poisons are the five fundamental afflictions: greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt. Eliminating the Five Poisons is an important goal of spiritual practice."

The corresponding game effect is to grant the holder the ability to be immune to all negative statuses for a relatively long period of time.

Whether it's poison, curse, paralysis, fear, slowing, silence, attribute weakening, instant death, or any other negative status effect, it's all null and void.

"This can be seen as a 'mini invincibility' with a longer duration and shorter cooldown. Although it cannot make you completely invincible, it can greatly improve your survivability and combat stability."

Recalling the original plot, Leylin said, "The Ainz Ooal Gown gave this item to Kino, probably because he valued its powerful protective effect."

"Whether it's short-term invincibility or long-term immunity to control, it provides Kino with a very high level of safety in dangerous environments."

What's even more amazing is that the power of the [Two Realms Mandala] is not limited to its own effect.

The holder can actively pull enemies into the corresponding mandala space as well.

Imagine yourself, under the invincible state of [Five Wisdoms] or the control-immune state of [Abstinence from Five Poisons], brutally beating your enemies in your own private space...

This tactic is truly disgusting.

"Every world-class item has an outrageous effect that can overturn the normal game balance," Leylin exclaimed.

It is said that YGGDRASIL suffered a severe player exodus in the later stages, largely due to these overly powerful world-class items. Ordinary players had a terrible experience against them, leading to an unbalanced game environment.

At this moment, Leylin is in the "Diamond Realm" space.

He was enveloped in a soft yet solid golden halo, and a radiant "great light" even faintly appeared behind his head, his appearance solemn and dignified, just like the Buddha in mythology descending to earth.

"This appearance... really does give off a feeling of 'instant enlightenment,' but unfortunately it's only temporary."

He carefully experienced the feeling of being in the state of "Five Wisdoms," a sense of security as if he were one with the surrounding space, impervious to all laws.

With a thought, his figure faded away from this lotus-filled pure land.

The next moment, he was back on the ruins of the wasteland, holding the ancient scroll of the "Two Realms Mandala" in his hand.

The surrounding scenery remained desolate, and the wind howled.

He once again extended his mental perception, scanning the area.

Those persistent figures are still carefully searching among the ruins, their eyes filled with a mixture of despair and last hope.

They are either descendants of Buddhist kingdoms or wanderers drawn by legends, still searching for that elusive "sacred land," a place where they can escape suffering.

Leylin looked at them and remained silent for a moment.

"I'll deal with my own troubles first." He carefully put the scroll away.

"Once I've dealt with the matter of the Coffin Dragon King... if I have the chance, I might come back to visit and offer them some help."

His promise was made to the people on this land who had once been briefly sheltered but ultimately lost everything.

He took one last look at this wasteland that held the brief, legendary life of a player and the hopes of countless ordinary people.

Leylin's figure transformed into an invisible stream of light and quietly disappeared into the sandstorm.
