Starting from Ainz Ooal Gown, simultaneously traveling through time

Chapter 132 Destroying a Nation, Saving People, Bestowing Blessings

After bidding farewell to his father and the transformed army, Leylin flew westward.

Instead of leaving immediately, he first went around to clean up the remaining cities of the orc kingdom.

There were still many human slaves imprisoned in those cities.

Some were locked in dungeons, some were tied to wooden stakes, and some had been tortured beyond recognition. Wherever Lei Lin went, he would unleash a series of attacks: first kill people, then rescue them, and then set them on fire.

Those orcs who were still putting up a stubborn resistance, those overseers who were guarding the slaves, and those "cooks" who were preparing to serve the meal, all turned to ashes.

He cleaved the cage open, cut the chains, and released the trembling people one by one.

Some people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, some were so numb that they could not speak, and some clung tightly to his clothes and refused to let go.

Leylin didn't say much, but simply gently pushed those hands away and began to bestow power upon them.

He raised his hand and gestured.

The sunlight grew warmer, and a fine drizzle fell from the sky, sprinkling on everyone.

The warmth seeped into my skin and flowed throughout my body.

Those who were originally weak and barely clinging to life suddenly found their wounds healing, their strength returning, and their blood boiling and surging as if it had been ignited.

Their level jumped from the pitiful level 1 to level 16.

What does this mean?

The orcs who once fed on them, even their elite warriors were only around level ten or so. Now, these newly freed slaves each possess power surpassing that of those cannibals.

Some people felt an unfamiliar power within their bodies and stood there bewildered.

Suddenly someone burst into wild laughter, laughing until tears streamed down their face; it was hard to tell whether they were happy or going mad.

With bloodshot eyes, some people rushed toward the orc corpses, tearing and pounding them wildly, venting their long-suppressed hatred.

Leylin stood aside, watching this scene, and sighed helplessly.

He can give them strength, but he cannot erase their pain.

He turned and left.

Behind him, some people were still laughing, some were still crying, and some had already knelt down and kowtowed to his back.

They marched, killed, and rescued along the way.

Until that familiar sea came into view.

Hailong Island.

Leylin descended from the clouds and landed on the soft sand.

The island's inhabitants saw a cloud drifting by in the distance, and then a person jumped down from the cloud.

Someone recognized him; he was the benefactor who had once helped them escape the enslavement of the Sea Kings.

Billy was the first to rush over, his face beaming with surprise: "Sir! What brings you here?"

Leylin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Just passing by, thought I'd drop by and see how you guys are doing."

Billy nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with genuine joy: "Good, good, good! Ever since you drove those sea kings away, the island has been much more peaceful. We farm and fish ourselves. Although it's hard work, no one bullies us, so we're already very content."

"

Leylin glanced at the residents who had quietly gathered around but dared not get too close, and asked, "Do you want to go back to the mainland? It's a big place with many opportunities."

Billy paused for a moment, then exchanged glances with the other residents.

They huddled together and whispered for a while, then Billy turned back, shook his head, and said, "Sir, we've discussed it. The mainland is nice, but we're used to living on this island. Besides, we don't know if the people on the mainland will—"

"Take us in. We are people from a vanquished nation, and we have no roots to return to."

Lei Lin nodded, not insisting.

"Alright, then you can stay here without worry." He said, looking up at the sky. "But before you leave, I'll give you a little gift."

He raised his hand and gestured.

A white cloud gathered from all directions, blocking out the sunlight overhead.

Then, it rained.

A fine drizzle fell, soaking everyone.

Billy didn't react at first, but he quickly sensed something was wrong. A warm feeling seeped into his skin and flowed throughout his body. The power within him seemed to be ignited, surging and expanding wildly.

The others were the same as him.

Some people screamed, some stared wide-eyed, and some collapsed to the ground, feeling the unfamiliar, powerful force within their bodies.

The light rain stopped after only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

When they came to their senses, they realized they had completely changed.

Billy clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and was completely stunned.

He was originally just a nobody who couldn't even beat the Sea King's warriors, but now—now he feels like he can kill a dragon with one punch.

His strength has now reached the level of a hero. In the past, this would have made him one of the strongest humans, someone who could be honored as a national guardian god of war.

The others were similar.

If players observe the level changes, they will find that ordinary residents who were originally only level five or six have now all crossed the level twenty threshold.

Several young and strong individuals even reached level twenty-five or twenty-six.

"This—this is—"

Billy stammered, unsure of what to say.

Behind him, an old man suddenly knelt down with a thud.

"Sea God! It's the Sea God appearing!"

The others were stunned for a moment, then they all knelt down in a flurry.

"Thank you, Lord Sea God!"

"May the sea god protect you!"

Leylin waved his hand helplessly, "I'm not a god, get up."

No one got up.

Billy knelt at the front, his face full of piety: "My lord, you first helped us drive away the Sea King Clan, and now you have bestowed upon us this power. If you are not a god, then who is? From this day forward, you are the true god worshipped by us on Sea Dragon Island!"

Leylin opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed.

Oh well, let them be.

He turned around, stepped onto the clouds, and drifted away.

Behind him, the residents who had been kneeling on the ground remained kneeling for a long time without getting up.

Only after Leylin's figure completely disappeared into the clouds did Billy stand up and look back at the largest building on the island, which was the temple left behind by the Sea Kings, where the Sea Kings' Sea Dragon God was enshrined.

"Smash that piece of junk," Billy said. "Replace it with an adult idol."

-

Leylin's next destination was that wasteland.

This land once belonged to the Buddhist kingdom.

He had been here once before, in search of the [Two Realms Mandala].

At that time, he noticed the Buddhist survivors living on the edge of the ruins. They were ragged and emaciated, but they never left this land.

Because they are waiting, waiting for the "pure land" left to them by the Buddha and the gods to appear in the world.

When Leylin found them again, the group was gathered by a dilapidated mud wall, seemingly discussing something.

Everyone was stunned when they saw him descend from the sky.

Without wasting words, Leylin asked directly, "Do you want to leave here and go somewhere where you can live a stable life?"

The old man leading the group hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Sir, it's not that we don't want to leave, it's just that—before the Buddha and the gods departed, they left a prophecy saying that the Pure Land will eventually appear in the world, and we must wait here until that day."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we must wait for the Pure Land."

"That was the last blessing that Buddha and God left for us."

Leylin looked at their devout and stubborn faces and remained silent for a moment.

Then he said, "Is this the Pure Land you're talking about?"

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

The power of the [Two Realms Mandala] unfolds.

A golden light surged from Leylin's body, instantly enveloping everyone.

The next moment, they were no longer by that desolate ruin; they were standing on a completely different piece of land.

Here you'll find green mountains and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers, warm sunshine and gentle breezes.

Everyone was stunned.

"This—this is—"

"Pure Land! The Pure Land spoken of by Buddha and deities!"

Some people knelt down in excitement, some were in tears, and some stared blankly around, unable to believe their eyes.

Leylin looked at them, and waited until they calmed down a bit before speaking: "This is the sanctuary you've been searching for. Now, are you willing to come with me?"

The elderly man in the lead was the first to react.

He gave Leylin a deep look, then knelt down.

"You—you must be the reincarnation of Buddha or God!"

The others also knelt down, muttering incantations.

Leylin: "————"

He had a bit of a headache.

"I am neither a Buddha nor a reincarnation," he emphasized again. "I am just a prop for myself."

Nobody believes it.

The way everyone looked at him was with the piety and fervor of a believer looking at a god.

Leylin gave up on correcting it.

He waved his hand, and a golden light showered down, just like on Hailong Island, bestowing blessings.

The power of these Buddhist descendants began to surge.

They were originally just ordinary people, the strongest of whom were only around level ten. Now, in that golden light, everyone's level was rapidly increasing.

Some were level 10 or 20, and a few even directly entered the hero realm.

When the golden light faded, everyone knelt down once again.

"Thank you, Buddha and God!"

"May the Buddha and Gods have mercy!"

Leylin didn't speak again. He once again activated the [Two Realms Mandala], taking everyone inside.

Next, he will take these people to their new homes.

That city that once belonged to the orcs is now mostly empty.

Leylin stood at the city gate, watching the humans wandering among the ruins. They were slaves captured by the orcs, just freed, and didn't know where to go.

Lei Lin had a sudden thought.

The Two Realms Mandala unfolds once more, and the remnants of the Buddhist kingdom appear out of thin air in the open space of the city.

Both sides were stunned, sizing each other up.

-

Leylin gave a few simple instructions: "You'll live here from now on. Look after each other and live a good life. If anyone bullies you, or if you encounter any trouble, pray in that direction."

He pointed in the direction of the capital city of Inberia: "Someone will come to help you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Behind them, the two groups of people looked at each other, and then slowly began to talk.

A new life begins today.
