Chapter 969 - 964: Entering Pseudo-History, Bhagavat’s 3 Lifetime Bodies!

Chapter 969: Chapter 964: Entering Pseudo-History, Bhagavat’s 3 Lifetime Bodies!

At this moment, Lü Yang only felt himself expanding. His physical body had vanished, and without its constraints, his formless consciousness swelled and extended endlessly, enveloping the entire landscape of karmic links. Omniscience and omnipotence. Though those four words might seem slightly inappropriate, at this very moment, Lü Yang truly developed a sense of omnipotence that transcended all things.

For every living entity—whether human, Demon, or vegetation, whether their lifespan was fleetingly short or incredibly long—it was as if Lü Yang had been standing beside them since the moment they were born. He followed them through their long lives, acting as a silent observer until he finally watched them die and return to the Earth. He was spectating the lives of every single living being. In this state of observation, Lü Yang’s thoughts grew increasingly detached. His eyes were icy, and only in the deepest depths of his gaze did a shred of reason remain.

"Something isn’t right..."

Before his rational mind could finish that thought, an endless stream of thoughts surged further into his mind. His consciousness continued to expand, and the number of lives he observed grew larger and larger. He was both the myriad and the one. He knew the thoughts, experiences, and emotions of every life like the back of his hand; there was nothing he did not know. Therefore, he was every life in the world. Unity.

"F*ck you!"

RUMBLE!

A furious roar instantly shattered this indescribable observational perspective. Like a beam of light tearing through a dark abyss, Lü Yang opened his eyes.

What greeted his sight was an endless Void Sea of Light. Standing right in the center of the Sea of Light was a golden-robed Monk with a compassionate face, his entire body flowing with Buddha Light and surrounded by ethereal Zen chanting. At this very moment, the other party was staring intently at Lü Yang, his eyes filled with irrepressible regret.

"Little friend... your Dao Heart Cultivation is truly high."

Lü Yang remained speechless.

At this moment, he only felt immense relief. Thank goodness for his Dao Heart Perfection. That strike just now was absolutely the most massive wave of Unity he had ever encountered in his entire life! He had almost been brought to Enlightenment!

"I knew Bhagavat was harboring ill intentions. He was waiting for me right here! If the one who arrives here is his clone, then everything will be peaceful. If not, then he will find a way to enforce Enlightenment upon them, turning them into a clone regardless!"

After a long silence, Lü Yang finally spoke in a muted tone. "How should I address you, Senior?"

He hadn’t forgotten that the last time he met Bhagavat, he couldn’t even utter the word "Bhagavat." Would it be the same this time? At the same time, this question served as a subtle hint.

"Oh?" Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Monk immediately revealed a look of surprise before chuckling. "It seems this isn’t the first time I’ve met you, my little friend. Not bad at all. In that case, your ability to arrive here must have been with my approval. I must think very highly of you."

"You have a keen eye, Senior. It’s just that you thought a bit too highly of me... so much so that you gave me quite a massive surprise just now," Lü Yang replied with an icy glare.

The Monk blinked innocently at those words. Immediately after, he continued as if nothing had happened. "In this place, I have no other name. Little friend, you may call me the True Monarch of Radiant World."

"Hmm?" Lü Yang’s eyes flickered.

Such a fluctuation in his state of mind couldn’t possibly be hidden from the Monk at this distance. The other party immediately raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong? Have you heard this name before?"

Lü Yang paused, then readily nodded. "I have."

"Where did you hear it?" the Monk pressed.

Lü Yang tilted his head innocently.

"...Haha!"

The next second, the Monk finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "You’re a Holy Sect Disciple. That makes sense. Only a Holy Sect Disciple would dare to do something like this."

Lü Yang didn’t answer; instead, he abruptly changed the subject. "Senior, regarding my current journey..."

"Wait!"

Before he could finish, the Monk suddenly interrupted him. "You don’t need to tell me what you want to do. The more I know... the easier it is to be detected."

Lü Yang immediately understood. "Will he be discovered by the Saint Sect Ancestral Master?"

Following that, the Monk continued, "Just speak plainly. Which era do you wish to go to?"

"The era when the Netherworld was first established," Lü Yang said straightforwardly. "Preferably before the First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master forged the Road to the Underworld, leaving a bit of buffer time for me."

"Alright."

The Monk’s reply was incredibly brisk. Clearly, he didn’t put any thought into the information contained in Lü Yang’s words—overthinking it would make it too easy to guess the truth.

Seeing this, Lü Yang also felt a surge of curiosity. Although Bhagavat had previously said he could hitch a ride to trace the karmic links back to ultra-ancient times, Bhagavat had not specified exactly how to do it. Now, it could finally be revealed. This was his first time observing the methods of a Master of Dao up close.

"Do you know what kind of state I am in right now, little friend?" the Monk chuckled softly.

"Please enlighten me, Senior," Lü Yang said, cupping his hands in respect.

Hearing this, the Monk smiled and spoke in an ethereal voice. "Since one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years ago, I have experienced all worldly affairs and possessed a total of three identities.

"In the past, I was the First Generation Master of Ten Thousand Treasures Peak.

"In the present, I am the True Monarch of Radiant World.

"In the future, I am the Deep Joy Pure Land World Honored One!"

With every word spoken, Lü Yang felt an intense distortion appearing around him. That was an anomaly born from forbidden Knowledge!

"The True Monarch of Radiant World is the foundation of my Dao attainment. From then on, my present body severed its karmic links with the Current World and threw itself into the Pseudo-History. Following the natural progression of Time within the Pseudo-History, it was ultimately entirely buried at this exact point in time. Here, all karmic links are severed. Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am Supreme."

The Monk’s voice grew increasingly resonant, echoing like Thunder Sound. "The only ones capable of reaching this place are those who wield the Fruit of Rampart Earth. If the person who arrives can defeat me here, they can make me fall from my position as a Supreme Venerable of the Other Shore."

He directly blurted it out!

Lü Yang was stunned. He hadn’t expected Bhagavat to be so straightforward, revealing his greatest flaw during their very first meeting. However, he quickly snapped back to his senses.

"Wait, that’s not right! I’d have to kill him to make him fall from the position of Master of Dao, but this present body of his is already invincible at the Golden Core Realm... Isn’t this utter bulls*it?"

Lü Yang instantly understood why Bhagavat casually mentioned his weakness. The design of Bhagavat’s Dao attainment was definitely not fraught with massive flaws as he had imagined. In fact, it was the exact opposite: he had executed it flawlessly. He sent his present body outside the bounds of karmic links, making it unreachable without the Fruit of Rampart Earth, and his own strength was unparalleled. Below the Master of Dao Realm, absolutely no one could make him drop his cultivation Realm! Even if a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord wielded the Fruit of Rampart Earth and came here, they would inevitably face Bhagavat’s interception, making it monumentally difficult to even find this place.

"My ability to find this place is likely largely due to Bhagavat’s tacit approval. This is all thanks to the Saint Sect Ancestral Master forcefully leaving behind the Pseudo-History, which managed to create a tiny flaw for him, but only just a tiny bit..."

Lü Yang finally had a sudden realization.

At the same time, he also detected intense fluctuations in karmic links, as if a door leading to a new world had opened, with a rumbling sound of Dao echoing from behind it. Forbidden Knowledge wasn’t just idle talk. Without a doubt, this was a Magic Instrument. By narrating the karmic relationship between the First Generation Master of Ten Thousand Treasures Peak, the True Monarch of Radiant World, and Bhagavat, it opened up the karmic routes between these three incarnations!

The Monk smiled faintly. "Little friend, you can set off now. I have opened up the karmic threads related to the First Generation Master of Ten Thousand Treasures Peak. You can trace your way up along these karmic threads yourself.

"As for the karmic fluctuations caused by you tracing Time, they will be concealed by the karma of my Dao attainment and won’t be detected by anyone.

"You’re quite lucky. The era you’re heading to is roughly sixty thousand years away from the era of the First Generation Master of Ten Thousand Treasures Peak. All Daoist Lords have already ascended to the Other Shore.

"Lastly, let me give you a word of advice, my little friend."

At this point, his expression suddenly turned solemn. "Do not get close to the Cultivated Demon. He is the only one constantly being watched. No one can alter his karmic links.

"The greatest Variable in the history of this Sea of Light has long been grasped in the hands of the Constant!"
