Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Shadow King Buddha
Translator: 549690339
“Shadow King Buddha?” Luo Ying had never heard of this deity, and when did he become a Buddha himself?
“Doesn’t like the sound of Shadow King Buddha, right? Immovable Ming King Buddha sounds pretty good. How about Chaotic Shadow King Buddha?” Jiang Li suggested.
“No, no, no, this is not a name problem at all!”
Luo Ying and Luo Zhu were puzzled by Jiang Li’s words.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Li transformed into a dignified and majestic golden Buddha statue, wearing a Kasaya, holding prayer beads in his hand, his head shining bright. It appeared to be an ordinary Buddha statue, but Luo Ying felt something was off as he looked at it.
“Brother, have you become a Buddha?” Luo Zhu blurted out. Luo Ying denied outright, “How is that possible!”
The face of the Buddha statue was none other than Luo Ying’s.
“This is the new image I’ve designed for you. You’re now the Buddha that all the zombies believe in — the Shadow King Buddha. Anyway, this is currently the only way to defeat the fifth-tier zombies. Just agree to it.”
Although Luo Ying didn’t understand the situation, he knew this was not the time for messing around. The whale was soaring towards him, so he gritted his teeth and admitted, “I am the Shadow King Buddha.”
As he uttered these words, he also reluctantly accepted this inexplicable Identity deep down.
As soon as he finished speaking, an endless surge of faith power appeared, showering Luo Ying like rain and streamers, as if delighted to have finally found the source of their belief after floating around for a long time.
The moment he made contact with this mysterious faith power, Luo Ying understood its use. This was a power capable of turning the tide, and it could elevate him to the fifth-tier without worrying about whether his body could handle it.
This was equivalent to temporarily constructing an external body of a fifth-tier enhancer, but this external body would be integrated into his own.
Just when Luo Ying was about to use this power to elevate himself to a fifth-tier enhancer, Jiang Li stopped him.
“Rare opportunity, why not try to achieve the Divinity Transformation Stage?” Jiang Li suggested with a smile.
Jiang Li had explained the concept of Divinity Transformation Stage long ago. Initially, Luo Ying thought he was just sharing knowledge about cultivation, but now he realized that it was all leading up to this moment.
“Alright!”
The Divinity Transformation Stage, fundamentally, meant transforming everything into the God within one’s mind. The philosophy of Body-incorporating Sect evolved from this principle.
Jiang Li believed that the best kind of transformation was self-transformation, with oneself as the God in the heart.
Luo Ying accepted Jiang Li’s view, transformed himself into God, and used the power of faith to elevate himself to the unfamiliar Divinity Transformation Stage!
The moment Luo Ying stepped into the Divinity Transformation Stage, he felt an overwhelmingly vast power. Even at his peak, he could not compare to this power.
This was the cultivation system, far surpassing the system of the enhancers!
The Divinity Transformation Stage made Luo Ying’s mental state extraordinarily powerful, and in an instant, he deduced the Immovable Ming King Law to meet the level of the Divinity Transformation Stage and effortlessly applied it.
Behind Luo Ying appeared the Dharma Appearance of the Immovable Ming King, tall and mighty, with four arms and an angry expression, carrying raging fires on his back, a sharp sword in his right hand, a chain in his left hand, and two hands in his pocket.
The rampaging whale had no fear of this suddenly appearing Dharma Appearance. When it was at the fourth tier, it relied on its body to wreak havoc, unbeaten by anyone. Now, at the fifth-tier, could anything possibly stand in its way?
Bang
The whale crashed firmly into the Dharma Appearance of the Immovable Ming King, like a mad dog crashing into a wall. How could the wall possibly be damaged?
The Dharma Appearance didn’t even budge.
The “Immovable” of Immovable Ming King explained everything. It was an unshakeable Dharma Appearance!
All four arms of the Dharma Appearance swung simultaneously, hammering the headstrong whale onto the ground, violently throwing it, grabbing its tail and hurling it into the sky. Luo Ying leaped up, clenched his fists tightly into a hammer, gathered his strength, and slammed down, demonstrating unrivaled destructive power!
The army in the distant Yong Gu Area was petrified when they detected the birth of a fifth-tier zombie with their detector. Little did they know that before they even had time to prepare themselves for death, a Dharma Appearance stronger than a fifth-tier zombie would appear. This was not something from the enhancer system. Their detectors couldn’t measure its level, but the power of the Dharma Appearance was undeniable.
The Brahma Tower arrived, complaining to Jiang Li, “You just move your lips
“What exactly is going on?” Luo Zhu couldn’t help but ask. Her brother becoming stronger was a good thing, but neither sibling understood where this power of faith came from.
“You know I’m the Human Emperor, right?”
Luo Zhu obediently nodded, recalling that Mr. Jiang had claimed to be the Human Emperor Jiang when they first met, even though she had no idea what a Human Emperor was.
“Each generation of the Human Emperors has relied on the power of faith to become stronger. I hadn’t thought of this before due to personal reasons. It was only a month ago when the Brahma Tower said it wanted to visit its Buddha Land and referred to me as the Human Emperor that I realized I could use the power of faith.”
“As its name suggests, the power of faith comes from faith. People in ancient times put their faith in their ancestors, gods, and Buddhas. Yet putting faith into action is easier said than done.”
“Even though you and Luo Ying have established yourselves as human heroes in the apocalypse, and your brother became the Shadow King a decade later, you didn’t generate any power of faith. Partly because you didn’t deliberately cultivate followers, and partly because the sentiment people hold towards you is not faith, but admiration.”
“If you operate on a long-term basis and vigorously promote yourselves, you indeed can make people worship you and Luo Ying as gods. However, this requires a lot of time, and I guess you wouldn’t fancy it.”
Recalling what would happen if she became some sort of Goddess and how people would madly worship her, Luo Zhu felt a little awkward.
“People’s hearts are complicated, but zombies are simple and easy to deceive. So, I thought of the Buddha Land created by Brahma Tower. Although it disappeared shortly after we went back a decade, it does work.”
“From the time the Brahma Tower escaped to you and met me, it had been nine months according to the time in the Nine Provinces, yet only a month had passed in your world.”
“In other words, Brahma Tower was able to establish a Buddha Land in just one month.”
“Before Brahma Tower left, I asked it to promote Luo Ying and package him as the Shadow King Buddha. All things like the Diamond Sutra were written by the Shadow King Buddha. In this way, zombies would develop faith in the Shadow
King Buddha. ”
This time, after the conversion of the fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier zombies by the Brahma Tower, considering that the fourth-tier zombies were easily shaken and it couldn’t move with these zombies, it let the fifth and sixth-tier zombies recite sutras to the fourth-tier zombies to strengthen their beliefs.
Thus, once again, it easily established a Buddha Land within one month.
However, this time the zombies in the Buddha Land only believe in the Shadow King Buddha, no one else.
“Since we can convert fourth-tier zombies, why not convert these whales?”
“Because these undead whales are not undead humans, they can’t develop thoughts such as ‘Who am I,’ ‘where do I come from,’ ‘where am I going,’ and it’s hard to convert them.”
“So now my brother has followers everywhere in the universe?” Thinking of the solemn zombies chanting the name of Shadow King Buddha, Luo Zhu couldn’t help laughing.
“Hey, hey, hey, I heard everything. Mr. Jiang, you’ve been scheming against me!”
“Also, why are all my followers zombies, while other people’s followers are all humans?!”
The furious Shadow King Buddha, with his four arms, tore the whale in half and took out its brain core..
