Thinking of this, Yuan Muye immediately took out the Kongming lantern and wrote his requests on it according to what the system said.

Fu Ling found his actions somewhat amusing.

"Are you here to be funny? You think a Kongming lantern can solve all this?"

Yuan Muye ignored him.

Standing to the side, Shangguan Hao and Cai Xia were also puzzled.

"What are you doing?" Shangguan Hao asked, perplexed.

Yuan Muye still didn't speak. After writing his requests, he released the Kongming lantern into the sky.

Fu Ling felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to shoot down the lantern. He cast a spell at it, but to his surprise, his magic couldn't harm the lantern.

What was going on?

He looked at Yuan Muye in disbelief and asked, "What did you do to the Kongming lantern?"

"Maybe my sincerity moved the heavens, so the heavens don't want you to destroy the lantern!" Yuan Muye replied calmly.

Fu Ling didn't believe such nonsense!

He thought it was just a Kongming lantern and shouldn't pose any danger, so he didn't pay attention to where it went.

"Really? Then I'll see if your sincerity can save your life!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Fu Ling appeared in front of Yuan Muye and grabbed him by the neck.

Yuan Muye looked at Fu Ling calmly, seemingly unafraid of death.

"Why don't you beg for mercy?" Fu Ling was surprised. If it were anyone else, they would have already begged for mercy.

"If I die, you'll die with me."

Yuan Muye was prepared to perish together with this guy.

Because he knew very well that if this guy went to the mortal realm, it would become even more unbearable.

"Naive!"

Fu Ling increased the force, choking Yuan Muye until he couldn't breathe.

This frightened Cai Xia, and she immediately tried to stop Fu Ling, but it was useless.

"Fu Ling, quickly let Yuan Muye go!"

Fu Ling glared and sent a palm strike, sending Cai Xia flying!

As for Shangguan Hao, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Just when Yuan Muye thought he was going to die in Fu Ling's hands, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky and refracted down.

"Fu Ling, are you going to continue down this wrong path?"

A powerful voice came from the sky.

Fu Ling's face changed drastically. He turned around and saw the real Buddha coming.

The Buddha's power frightened Fu Ling, and he immediately released Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye sat down on the ground, coughing violently after breathing in the fresh air.

"Buddha, I..." Fu Ling wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.

The Buddha looked at Fu Ling, sighed, and said, "I suppressed you under Mount Ling, originally wanting to give you a chance to repent. I didn't expect that not only did you not repent, but you came to the mortal realm to do evil again. This time, I will not spare you no matter what."

Because the Buddha was compassionate, he gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it himself.

"Buddha, I was really wrong. Please give me one last chance. I promise I will never do anything harmful again."

Fu Ling was afraid that the Buddha would kill him.

However, the Buddha didn't kill him. Instead, he took back his cultivation and restored him to his true form.

Fu Ling's true form was a sparrow.

Yuan Muye found it incredible that a sparrow could cultivate into a human.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Spending all day by the Buddha's side and absorbing spiritual energy, even the most dull creature could cultivate into a human.

If it were any other creature, they would probably be overjoyed.

"From now on, you will stay in the mortal realm and experience the six realms of reincarnation!" The Buddha said calmly, looking at the sparrow.

The sparrow was reluctant to leave and flew towards the Buddha.

This time, the Buddha didn't indulge him. He waved his hand, and the sparrow disappeared.

Then, the Buddha looked at Yuan Muye and said, "Do you regret coming to this world?"

Yuan Muye was stunned for a moment, then realized that the Buddha must have seen through his true identity.

"To be honest, I did regret and feel annoyed at the beginning, but now, I don't think about it anymore."

Yuan Muye said sincerely, because in this world, he had found a reason to live and people he cared about.

The Buddha nodded in satisfaction. "Go back. You will get the result you want."

After speaking, the Buddha disappeared.

Yuan Muye and the others returned to the real world. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.

Cai Xia looked at Yuan Muye excitedly and said, "What the Buddha said earlier proves that you have a chance to restore the mortal realm to its original state."

"Really?" Yuan Muye's eyes lit up.

"Yuan Muye." Shangguan Hao suddenly called Yuan Muye's name.

Yuan Muye said in surprise, "What? We're already back in the real world. Why haven't you run away yet?"

If it were before, Shangguan Hao might have already disappeared, but now he wouldn't run.

Shangguan Hao knew that he couldn't escape. Plus, Yuan Muye had the Buddha's guidance and such a powerful aura. If he continued to oppose Yuan Muye, wouldn't that be stupid?

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence would follow Yuan Muye.

"I know I did a lot of things that I'm sorry for. I also know that a simple 'I'm sorry' can't change anything, but I can promise you that I will make up for the mistakes I made in the past." Shangguan Hao looked at Yuan Muye with a serious expression.

Yuan Muye was stunned. Why did this guy suddenly change his attitude? Did the sun rise from the west?

"What trick are you trying to pull now?"

"No trick. If you don't believe me, I can take you to Liang Sencheng right now and release him."

Shangguan Hao seemed even more anxious than Yuan Muye.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Muye immediately got into Shangguan Hao's car. Seeing Cai Xia still standing there, he asked, "Aren't you coming?"

"No, I have other things to do. We'll meet again." Cai Xia smiled at Yuan Muye and then disappeared.

Shangguan Hao said wistfully, "I never thought that someone like me would have the chance to see a deity. Yuan Muye, this is all thanks to you."

"Don't. I don't want to have anything to do with you."

Yuan Muye still hated Shangguan Hao from the bottom of his heart, even if Shangguan Hao had changed his attitude.

Speaking of which, Shangguan Hao looked even more deserving of a beating now.

But deserving of a beating or not, saving people was the most important thing. As for what Shangguan Hao was up to, Yuan Muye wasn't interested in knowing.

On the way to save Liang Sencheng, Yuan Muye felt as if the world was starting to get better at this moment.

"Yuan Muye, I'm not kidding. Can I follow you?"

Yuan Muye smiled. Even someone like Shangguan Hao could turn over a new leaf. What else couldn't be changed?
