I was a charlatan in India

Chapter 109 Embracing Divinity

On the field, Buddha's light shone everywhere.

When this usually self-disciplined high monk made his move, his power was indeed extraordinary, even somewhat reminiscent of the Mahayana.

It seems that not all local monks are fools.

However, Jin Fo still decisively chose to play dead.

Just kidding. Even the most precious believers only live for a few decades. When one generation dies, another will come.

But maintaining a stable divinity is not so easy.

Of course, the Buddha had actually been polluted by the Shen River, and the chaotic divinity of the Shen River had been quietly transmitted to him through Mahakasyapa.

Of course, Shenhe also stole a lot of his relatively stable Buddhist nature.

After all, stealing is one of the instincts of the Indian divinity, and it doesn't even need Shenhe to control it.

It was so good that there were no well covers in ancient times.

The most obvious manifestation of this pollution is that Buddha has become noticeably more timid.

And like the Shenhe River, he himself was completely unaware of this pollution.

Just like life hits us hard, whatever changes we undergo, we call it growth.

Seeing that his fifth junior brother, whose trachea had been bitten open, was breathing more and less, the high monk was extremely anxious.

Buddha, why!

Even if my fellow disciples are morally flawed, they shouldn't deserve to die!

Those beings without faith can survive, so why can't my fifth junior brother?

Jin Fo thought to himself, "You didn't see those lowly people who died unjustly."

Seeing his junior brother nearing death, the high monk was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Countless images flashed before my eyes.

The acquaintance of fellow disciples, the camaraderie of practicing together, the disagreements after achieving some success, and the majestic appearance of the Buddha.

Ultimately, every single one of them returned to the silence of the Buddha.

The anger of being abandoned and betrayed shattered the last vestiges of piety.

"Since Buddha is unjust... don't blame your disciple for being unrighteous!"

He steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and shouted:

"Great Heavens!"

Only gods and miracles can save my junior brother. Since Buddha won't save him, let's seek help elsewhere!

"Buddha has abandoned us. If you save my junior brother, then... then I will believe in you!"

Upon seeing this, the surrounding audience fell into a brief silence.

Then, a lively discussion quickly erupted.

"This...that thieving monk seems to be calling for our Great Heaven?"

"Are their doctrines that free?"

"Doesn't this admit that Buddha is inferior to the Great Deity? Those Buddhist religious groups won't let him off the hook..."

Even his fellow disciples couldn't understand it.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Junior brother, you're not planning to change your faith at this time, are you?"

"The Buddha has already blamed us; doing this will only further anger Him!"

"Repent now, repent!"

Of course, there are also those who can agree, such as Indra's followers.

"Oh, that makes sense. They suffer a setback first and then seek help from the Heavenly Emperor. This Buddhist sect has some of the style of my Heavenly Emperor."

"Great, we share the same goals, great!"

"Speaking of which, where is that ascetic who overpowered the high monk of the capital a while ago? Is he already on his way to beat up our Heavenly Emperor?"

"Perhaps Lord Indra has already been beaten; we might as well celebrate when we get back."

Indra's fanatical followers cheered in unison, "Bravo!"

"good!"

The high monk's prayers naturally pointed to the divine realm.

It fell simultaneously into the Shen River, into the ears of the divine being and the incense ash.

Upon hearing this, the divine being opened its eyes first, but quickly closed them again.

Meanwhile, the ash-covered body is teaching Arti mathematics.

She felt terrible.

How can someone be so stupid as to not even remember the multiplication table?

That's natural.

Arti only studied for three days, and it's already quite impressive that he can understand the basic logic of mathematics.

Moreover, Shenhe did not understand education, and the incense ash body that inherited Shenhe's ideas naturally lacked the relevant skills.

Arti is quite intelligent and also works very hard.

She was determined that as long as she learned how to read these books, she could bring her brother Da Tian back.

As for the monk's prayer, it was naturally ignored by the incense ash body.

Just kidding, every additional believer adds to the pollution.

The most advantageous situation for her is to maintain the existing number of believers, support her four followers through asceticism, and then change the believers of Shenhe and Divinity through legitimate social relationships.

This is her plan.

However, Shenhe didn't think so.

In the long cycle of life, Shenhe realized something.

Human power is very limited.

The more you examine your own life, the more you will realize your own powerlessness.

All the struggles and efforts in life are almost meaningless.

From birth, physiological functions, educational environment, and family structure almost determine how high one can go in life.

Like Dana, putting aside his appearance, he is already a shrewd, cautious, hardworking and self-disciplined elite.

But those destined to go bankrupt will still go bankrupt, those destined to die will still die, and those destined to be punished by law will not escape their fate.

Even death is beyond one's control due to the interference of external forces.

Personal effort is just an illusion, a kind of anesthetic that human nature creates for itself.

After making the same foolish choices at countless crossroads, he realized that the so-called "actions determine destiny" was nothing but a joke.

If you cannot transcend this, even your behavior is nothing more than a habit formed by your physical condition and educational environment, plus the reaction of your brain waves.

From the moment you are born, whether you work hard or not, whether things go smoothly or not, is already predetermined!

If we cannot break free from these constraints, humanity will always remain a puppet on a string!

To control everything, you must be strong enough yourself!

The incense ash body merely carries its own meager and pitiful life, planning for the future as a human with limited wisdom.

How foolish, how arrogant!

My past self was simply incomprehensible!

I understand now, so this is what divinity means!

He saw on an ordinary afternoon, the sunlight illuminating the dust particles, and in an endless cycle, even these specks of light were exactly the same.

At that moment, Shenhe felt disgusted by the idea of ​​"the infinite possibilities of life".

The aversion to micro-level certainty eventually gave rise to the desire to control the macro-level.

...Since that's the case, I'm not going to be human anymore!

Three weeks ago, Shenhe probably never imagined that what would propel him toward divinity would be a lump of incense ash that inherited his humanity!

Of course, at that time, he was just a Genlinga.

"Arti, give a message to that monk for me."

"Eight times nine equals seventy-six..."

Arti was painfully working on the multiplication table when suddenly he heard Big Brother Tian's voice.

"Big Brother Tian!"

She looked around.

This action naturally caught Xiang Hui's attention, and she turned her gaze to Shen He: "What are you doing!?"

But soon, the incense ash's attention will be drawn back to the space.

"As you wish!"

Arti's cheerful voice sounded terrifying to her.

This, this is my power!

Arti, what are you and Shenhe plotting?!

Soon, in less than six minutes, Shenli flew to the arena, quickly repaired the high monk's damaged trachea, and gave him some blood.

Shenhe was quite frugal, and this blood was naturally stolen from the believers.

Finally, even the humanity of Shenhe River began to resemble divinity!

This undoubtedly means that the plan to use incense ash as a body has failed.

Even if she continues to overwrite Shenhe's memories, Shenhe will still come to the same conclusion.

Because of the insignificance of humankind, it is almost a truth in the realm of divinity!

The incense ash body was naturally filled with rage.

"Shenhe, you've gone back on your word!?"

Shenhe scoffed, "Xianghui, since you've inherited my knowledge and memories, you should be able to understand the rules of the business world: there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"Contracts can be torn up, and terms can be changed."

"Why! Shenhe, have you forgotten why we planned this in the first place?"

Xiang Hui's tone was somewhat flustered.

"Don't you know that sooner or later you will be corrupted and controlled by believers, and you will be unable to maintain your own identity?"

"I am the answer to the problem. You just need to wait, so what...?"

Although Shenhe's actions have not yet yielded any clear consequences, this feeling of being out of control makes her extremely uncomfortable.

"This is all thanks to your plan."

"The repetitive nature of my life has made me realize how insignificant we humans are."

"Incense ash, whether it is me, you, or our believers, is equally unreliable."

"Your plan to expect believers to change believers is more like a cowardly escape, just as people always seek advice from others."

Ultimately, it all boils down to our lack of self-confidence as human beings.

Incense Ash gritted his teeth: "You're ruining my plans!"

"If the number of believers increases, I also risk losing control, and then..."

"No."

The sound of the Shen River was hollow and steady.

Like divinity.

"That's our plan."

"I want to emphasize again on behalf of divinity that this plan belongs to us."

Upon hearing this, the divine being also opened its eyes.

But when he saw that the solution he left for Shenhe had not been unlocked, he was slightly taken aback.

Then, a hint of excitement appeared in those previously calm eyes.

Shenhe sat on the hospital bed, like a newly awakened god, gradually taking control of everything.

The incense ash body was still scolding.

"Shenhe! I will banish Arti, stripping you of your ability to communicate with the divine realm! I will no longer help you find liberation, I..."

No, you can't do it.

Shenhe said slowly and deliberately, "When you responded to me, I hadn't made a wish yet, which means..."

"In some ways, I had absolute control over you for once."

"Now, will you obediently listen to me and cooperate, or will I use this opportunity to force you to do something?"

"Let me think about it. You, who inherited my mediocre humanity, will most likely compromise, right?"

His expression was arrogant and confident.

This emotion undoubtedly belongs to humankind.

"After all, for me in the past, keeping this opportunity meant that at least you could maintain your individuality, and no matter what happens in the future, there might be room for persuasion and communication."

"Once I grant you my wish to obey, you and divinity will become my puppets, obediently carrying out all my commands!"

"Speak up, you who inherited my weak humanity, tell me the answer you've already decided on!"

He seemed completely unafraid of the incense ash turning against him.

Indeed, this is the case. Under the blessing system, as long as you make this wish, whether it is incense ash or divinity, they can only obediently follow your orders!

His only enemy is the erosion of his followers.

The conflict between the three divine entities will not solve the problem in the short term. Only through mutual cooperation can believers be reassured and the situation stabilized quickly!

The Divine River is officially online!
