Chapter 744 Inviting the Buddha

Cai Xia sneered and said, "I really didn't expect you would have a chance to return to the human world. It seems you have some tricks up your sleeve."

The true identity of this fake Buddha was originally a pet beside the Buddha, named Fuling. He followed the Buddha every day, so he cultivated spirituality. After gaining spirituality, he became tired of the peaceful days in heaven and secretly went to the human world.

Once in the human world, he transformed into human form and committed evil everywhere.

This matter was quickly discovered by the Buddha, who sent someone to capture him and imprison him under Mount Ling.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Fairy Caixia. If it weren't for you passing by Mount Ling and dropping a drop of immortal dew, I wouldn't have had the chance to escape," Fuling said, smiling at Caixia.

Caixia's face instantly darkened. She hadn't expected that just a drop of immortal dew would give this kid a chance to escape.

In that case, she also bore some responsibility for this matter.

"Fairy, who exactly is this guy?" Yuan Mu asked curiously.

Caixia briefly explained Fuling's background.

Although Yuan Mu was a little surprised, he quickly calmed down.

That is, until Caixia added, "The reason the human world has become what it is now is inextricably linked to him."

Yuan Mu's heart suddenly trembled, and he looked at Caixia in disbelief, saying, "How so?"

"Back then, after he came to the human world, he killed many people, alarming the underworld. The underworld found it strange that so many souls whose lifespans hadn't ended were entering the underworld, so they investigated and found him."

Speaking of this, Caixia sighed, then continued, "That guy thought he was from the heavenly realm and was extraordinary, so he openly opposed Yama and caused trouble in the underworld, leading to many evil ghosts escaping from the eighteen levels of hell."

"So, the real cause of all this tragedy is this guy?" Yuan Mu asked expressionlessly.

He had never imagined that the origin of all this was this little figure.

Really impressive!

"Didn't the Buddha do anything about this?" Yuan Mu felt that such a big thing had happened, so the Buddha should have resolved it, right?

Caixia shook her head helplessly and said, "Gods and Buddhas can't interfere in the affairs of the human world and the underworld, so he was just imprisoned on Mount Ling."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu only felt ridiculous.

The Buddha's pet could come to the human world to cause trouble, but they couldn't clean up the mess?

What kind of logic was that?

"I heard that this is a game arranged by the Heavenly Dao. What's going on?" Yuan Mu was even more confused.

"The Heavenly Dao... it is above the gods and Buddhas. Even immortals are sometimes helpless. The Heavenly Dao believes that the human world has been polluted by those people, so it wants to destroy humanity, but with the gods' plea, they were given a chance."

Caixia said in a low voice.

"According to you, we should thank him? If it weren't for him arranging this game, humanity would have already been destroyed, right?" Yuan Mu's mind went blank for a moment.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to destroy humanity; who could stop it?

Caixia nodded and said, "I originally thought humanity couldn't win this game until I met you, and you gave me a glimmer of hope. Most humans are greedy and selfish, but you alone have been working hard for everyone's survival."

Yuan Mu felt nothing from Caixia's praise.

He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. He didn't even know if he could win against the Heavenly Dao.

If he lost, even if he sacrificed his own life, he couldn't save anyone.

"Is that your purpose for coming to the human world?" Yuan Mu asked casually.

Caixia nodded, her face serious, and said, "Originally, they didn't agree to let me come down, but when I was still Caixia, I witnessed the beauty of the human world, so I didn't want to see the human world destroyed like this."

She also fought for a long time before coming to the human world.

Listening to their conversation, Fuling said impatiently, "Have you said enough? No matter how hard you try, it's useless. The ending is already destined. Humanity will be destroyed!"

"The situation hasn't been decided yet. Why do you think humanity will be destroyed? Do you think you can kill all humans with your power alone?" Yuan Mu looked at Fuling coldly.

Although Yuan Mu was unsure, he still didn't want to give up like this. Even when he was still a useless person, he hadn't thought about giving up. Now, he would never give up unless he died.

"I can't kill all the humans, but there are so many evil ghosts in the human world now. Isn't the destruction of humanity only a matter of time?" Fuling replied calmly.

Yuan Mu didn't want to argue with him. At this time, it was useless to say anything.

"Fairy, can you do me a favor?"

"You want me to help you catch him?" Caixia said softly.

Yuan Mu nodded.

Fuling was considered half an immortal, after all. With Yuan Mu's current strength, it wouldn't be easy to catch him.

Without saying much, the few of them started fighting directly.

Fuling's strength was very high, and he also had magical artifacts brought from the heavens, so Yuan Mu and Caixia were no match for him at all.

In just a few rounds, the two were defeated.

Yuan Mu looked at Fuling unwillingly and said, "If you have the ability, then don't use magical artifacts."

"Even if I don't use magical artifacts, you still won't be my match."

Fuling said smugly.

"System, is there any way to deal with him?"

Yuan Mu asked the system. He had no other choice, so he could only ask the system for help.

The system immediately responded, "With your current strength, there's no way to deal with him unless you can invite the Buddha down and have the Buddha subdue this guy."

"Do you think I can invite the Buddha down?"

Yuan Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Speaking of this, he remembered the last time he invited a deity. He spent so much effort, and although he invited an immortal, that immortal was... well, it was complicated.

So this time, he didn't ask the system if there was a way to invite the Buddha.

"It's not that there's no way, but the host needs to make a small sacrifice."

Hearing the system say this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Yuan Mu's heart. If they could really invite the Buddha down, then they wouldn't need to deal with Fuling themselves.

"What way?"

"You can use a Kongming lantern and write your request on it." (Kongming lantern: sky lantern)

Yuan Mu thought that since he already knew the whereabouts of Liang Sencheng, there was no need to use the Kongming lantern on that. Using it on this wasn't impossible.
