“From today onwards, the boundless starry sky, the Nine Heavens Star River, and the endless stars can all be used by me.”

In the endless starry sky, Qin Wentian's ethereal voice echoed, reverberating in the boundless expanse. The stars of the heavens shone down, their starlight falling upon him.

The light on his body was as brilliant as the stars. In the endless starry sky, countless gazes involuntarily turned towards the same place, seeing the most dazzling radiance and the brightest star in the Nine Heavens.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on ascending to God King..."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on ascending to God King..."

"Congratulations..."

In an instant, the entire starry sky became lively. Countless divine thoughts echoed in the void, sending their congratulations towards the extremely brilliant light. In that instant, the figure within the light was the only one in the world, the protagonist of heaven and earth!

"Is this what it means to be a God King?" Qin Wentian murmured, a smile appearing on his face. Becoming a God King was undoubtedly a good thing, especially since the Primordial Era was facing an impending storm, with the likes of the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas and Yue Changkong about to make their moves.

Moreover, God King Xi and the Time God King would not help. Everything depended on themselves.

Qin Wentian was well aware that both Yue Changkong and the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas were enemies he had to kill. Yue Changkong had long held a grudge against him, and only one of them could live. It was either him or Yue Changkong.

As for the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, although they had not yet met, he treated all living beings as puppets, using them as stepping stones for his transcendence. Qin Wentian could not allow him to continue his evil deeds.

Moreover, he had refined the father of one of his friends, treating him like a slave. He could never forgive this, and he would have to fight to the death with the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

However, he was not overly panicked. The Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas was very strong. According to the information they had, his strength was already infinitely close to transcendence. Yue Changkong was also strong, possessing the inheritance of two God Kings, plus the Dao fruit of a God King from a previous life. His combat power was stronger than many God Kings.

However, they were not without their advantages. Backed by the Primordial Divine Palace and the Creation Sacred City, they could obtain opportunities that the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas and others could not imagine.

In addition, the top disciples within the Primordial Divine Palace all had the potential to step into the God King realm. With the appearance of the "Heavenly Cave," all they lacked was time.

...

In the Universe Domain, there was a miraculous scene: the Wanfo Chaozong (Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage), and the Small Western Paradise became even more magnificent. A supreme and unparalleled Buddha appeared in the world, his body reaching straight up to the Nine Heavens, overlooking all living beings, seemingly competing with the heavens in height, wanting to be equal to the heavens, or even surpass them.

On this day, golden light radiated from this Buddha's Daoist form, illuminating the entire Western world. The fingers of his hand, which were holding a special mudra, moved slightly. Then, his palms also began to move slowly. A rumbling sound echoed out, and countless people looked up in awe. The towering Buddha's Daoist form seemed to truly possess life, rising up while sitting cross-legged, with a vast and boundless golden lotus throne beneath him.

The lotus throne floated, and the ancient Buddha's body moved with it. All the followers of the Small Western Paradise followed closely, surrounding the Buddha's form, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and moving forward. A wave of Sanskrit sounds reverberated through heaven and earth, enveloping the Universe Domain. Everyone's hearts trembled, and they stood up one after another, chanting Buddhist scriptures and following the giant Buddha eastward, as if shrinking the earth into inches. Although seemingly slow, they could cross infinite lands in an instant.

At this moment, the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas truly began his eastward journey, seeking transcendence through the power of all living beings.

In a dark divine palace, Yue Changkong coldly looked at the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, then transformed into an unparalleled demon lord, leading countless demons towards their final destination.

"Now, everyone in the entire Universe Domain is devoted to Buddhism. Above that so-called Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, ancient Buddhas are manifesting, becoming increasingly solid, transforming into true Buddhas. People are also wholeheartedly seeking the Dao... Alas, the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas' methods are truly terrifying. In just a few years, the entire Universe Domain has been completely dominated by Buddhism, with not even a single voice of opposition. Now that he is heading east, how many more will become puppets..."

"Heretical and wicked ways, using the luck of all living beings to transcend. He is no longer a true Buddha, but merely a demon wearing the skin of a Buddha!"

"Extinguishing the seven emotions and six desires of the human world, turning all living beings into devout believers beneath him. Calling such methods demonic is an understatement."

"To vow to cut off all evil, leaving no evil uncut; to vow to cultivate all good, leaving no good uncultivated; to vow to save all living beings, leaving no living being unsaved. He has not fulfilled even one of the three vows of Buddhism. Even the word 'save' is used to treat the world as puppets. His so-called Buddha is the greatest evil in the world."

When the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas headed east, Qin Wentian and the other disciples of the Primordial Divine Palace saw it as well, but not a single one of them agreed with the path he was taking. The path taken by the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas had long abandoned his original intentions, violated the teachings of Buddhism, and disregarded all living beings. He no longer had the qualifications to be called a Buddha by the world.

Even God King Xi and the Time God King, who were secretly watching all of this, shook their heads in disapproval. They had known the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas for a long time, and in the past, he had indeed taken it upon himself to save all living beings, a true "Buddha" walking in the world.

In the end, he was defeated by his own obsession, fell into darkness, and resorted to any means to transcend, using all living beings as paving stones. Who could not despise such methods? Who could not be angry?

"This battle will be the final battle. The life and death of the Thirty-Three Immortal Realms depend on this battle..."

"It's a pity that I didn't step into the God King realm before this battle. Otherwise, even death would be without regret."

"If I survive this battle, I will definitely enter the God King realm!"

The disciples of the Primordial Divine Palace were already prepared to fight against the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, God King Gu, and others. However, they also knew that they would only be facing experts in the Celestial God realm at most.

As for God Kings, even if their inheritances were extraordinary and their own combat power was unbelievable, they could not cross that barrier.

In the face of God King-level beings, they were merely ants. Without entering that realm, they would never understand the power of that level.

But they could not escape this decisive battle. This was the final test given to them by God King Xi and the Time God King. Even if they were indifferent and unwilling to fight for all living beings, they had to take action, otherwise they would lose the qualification to enter the Creation Sacred City.

After all, they were not directly chosen by the Creation Sacred City, but entered it through the privileges of the Heavenly Venerate. Now, they were not even considered official members. If God King Xi and the others wanted to withdraw their qualifications, it would only take a word.

Therefore, for the sake of their own future, even those few who practiced the path of mercilessness had to participate in the battle. Only by surviving would they be qualified to continue roaming in the Creation Sacred City.

In the endless void, all living beings in the world could see the Buddha's Daoist form towering into the clouds. It was the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas' Dharma body. The Buddhist sounds traveled across endless distances, and when the Zen sounds fell into their ears, ordinary beings would be instantly converted, becoming the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas' most devout believers. It was precisely because of this that even Celestial God experts had to seal off their six senses to prevent themselves from being affected by the Buddhist sounds.

In another direction, Yue Changkong, the reincarnation of God King Gu, had also arrived. Beside him was Qin Dangtian, the inheritor of God King Yue Shen (Moon God). They led the giants of many top forces of the ancient era, descending here and meeting with the Western world.

In the Western world, a Buddhist cultivator stepped out. He was a Celestial God Buddha figure. He stood beside the giant Buddha, looked in the direction of Qin Wentian and the others, put his palms together, and said, "Greetings, benefactors. Have you been well?"

"We're not exactly close friends, so there's no need for such pleasantries," Qin Wentian replied indifferently. The disciples of the Primordial Divine Palace who were here now were all led by him.

Moreover, currently, he was the only God King within the Primordial Divine Palace. Even though his opportunities were not shallow, he did not have complete confidence when facing experts like the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

But this battle was unavoidable. Since they had appeared here, they had naturally made their choice.

"Amitabha!"

The Celestial God Buddha figure put his palms together, his expression peaceful, and said calmly, "Since that is the case, this monk will be frank about his intentions..."

"Our Buddha is merciful and has come east from the Western world to resolve the crisis of the ancient era, to save all living beings, to lead all living beings to transcendence, to reach the immortal realm of longevity, and to enjoy eternal peace. We hope that all benefactors will let go of their obsessions and walk with our Buddha."

The Buddha figure's Buddhist sounds reverberated through heaven and earth, and golden light spread, making him seem incomparably sacred. However, Qin Wentian and the others wished they could immediately suppress and kill him.

"Shameless to the extreme!" On the Primordial Divine Palace's side, a Celestial God expert spoke, "Your Western world is heading east, and along the way, all living beings are suffering, becoming puppets of your Western world. How is this different from the greatest evil in the world!"

"The world is foolish, and I didn't expect that even after cultivating to such a realm, you would still be so. Our Buddhist sect is heading east and has not killed a single person or animal. Those who are willing will convert to our Buddha. All living beings have been moved by the Buddhist sounds, so they have let go of everything and entered the Buddhist path. This is where the hearts of the world converge, and this is the trend of the times."

The Buddhist expert responded calmly, as if he had expected this, and did not mention at all that they were bewitching people's hearts with Buddhist sounds.

Even Yue Changkong on the other side could not help but laugh, amused by the shamelessness of the Western world. He said with a smile, "The Western world cares about the world and is a great good. This is indeed the trend of the times. Fellow Daoists, if you have any self-awareness, then surrender from now on. The Buddhist master is merciful and may spare you from death."

On the Primordial Divine Palace's side, everyone's expression was cold. Qin Wentian also shouted coldly, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. If the Buddhist sect wants to head east, then step over our corpses first!"

"Amitabha!"

Hearing this, many Buddhist cultivators put their palms together, and Buddhist light spread across the heaven and earth, enveloping the universe. There were endless Buddhist lights shining in the heaven and earth, turning into countless Sanskrit characters.

This was the Buddhist sect's method of conversion, to convert living beings. Below the God King realm, even Celestial Gods would find it difficult to withstand the bewitchment in the Buddhist sounds.

"Courting death!"

"Suppress!"

"You think you can convert me with this?"

On the Primordial Divine Palace's side, one expert after another took action. They were already peerless Celestial Gods, and many had even touched the barrier of the God King realm. In terms of strength, throughout the vast Primordial Immortal Realm, apart from God Kings, they were the most respected.

Buddhist sounds alone naturally could not affect them, but instead aroused their fighting spirit. At the moment, they no longer had any reservations and took action one after another.

Boom...

At this moment, the vast and boundless ancient Buddha stepped forward, and a rumbling sound echoed out. The invisible giant Buddha pressed its palm down, and in an instant, the firmament was covered. In the world, only the five-fingered handprint remained, as if crushing the vast heavens.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, do you really think you are invincible!"

Having already become a God King, Qin Wentian roared loudly when he saw this scene. A terrifying aura erupted from his body, and a terrifying wave wrapped around his flesh, flying towards the giant palm that spanned thousands of miles.

Boom!

A huge roar resounded through the Nine Heavens, and a dazzling golden light pierced through the ages. Endless spatial and temporal storms poured into the sky above the Boundless Sea. The aftermath was vast, setting off waves of thousands of miles, carrying thunder, and heading in all directions with the force of a thunderbolt!

"The boundless Buddhist law, turn back to the shore!"

A voice suddenly resounded in everyone's minds, like the strongest Great Dao of heaven and earth, constantly exploding in their minds. Even Celestial God experts were shaken by this Buddhist sound!

"The ancient feast has begun!"

Yue Changkong and Qin Dangtian on the side also took action at this time. As the reincarnation and inheritor of a God King, their cultivation had already reached the peak. Especially Yue Changkong, who had truly returned to the God King realm.

As for Qin Dangtian, although he was already very close to the God King realm, he was still lacking a little. In addition, he had been defeated by Qin Wentian, planting a demon in his heart. Although his strength was now powerful, he had only taken half a step after all.

Above the firmament, the light of endless stars gathered on them. The stars above the sky seemed to be shifting, and two types of natural phenomena descended upon the world, carrying immeasurable power.

These were two peerless experts taking action. At this moment, even the many peerless Celestial Gods of the Primordial Divine Palace had to be vigilant.

Qin Dangtian was still alright, he had not truly become a God King. Although he had mastered the God King's inheritance, they would not be much different. On the other hand, Yue Changkong was a true God King expert, and the difficulty of defeating him was too great.

Especially since Qin Wentian was already at war with the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas, they could only deal with Yue Changkong.

...

In the endless void, two supreme experts calmly watched this scene.

"If he hadn't chosen this path, I would have been very happy to see the birth of a third Heavenly Venerate in our realm."

"Unfortunately..."

They could naturally see that the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas was truly about to transcend, carrying the will of all living beings and transcending with the power of great karma.

Unfortunately, this method was too cruel, depriving all living beings of their will and turning them into his puppets. This undoubtedly went against their ideas, so even if Qin Wentian and the others failed, they would choose to suppress the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

"In this battle, who do you think will win?"

God King Xi asked. This battle was deeply related to Qin Wentian, and because of his identity as a person with an uncertain fate, they could not see the future trajectory.

"For you and me, it doesn't matter who wins or loses," said the Time God King. No matter how fiercely the Lord of Ten Thousand Buddhas and Qin Wentian fought, it would not affect them, because they had the power to change the outcome.

The only thing they cared about was Qin Wentian. People with uncertain fates were too rare, and they were also looking forward to the future of such beings. If he were to die here, it would indeed be a pity.

Of course, they would not interfere forcibly. Even if Qin Wentian and the others were to die in battle, they would not take action.
