The Immortal Buddha's soul was devoured and his body taken over by the doppelganger in utter silence.
The method of “replacing a peach with a plum” was complete. After Lin Yu checked it several times and confirmed there were no hidden dangers, he asked, “Tell me your plans.”
The reason he hadn’t killed the Immortal Buddha directly but instead let the doppelganger possess him was mainly because he felt killing him directly would be a waste. Rather than kill him, it was better to make use of him and gain an additional Buddha realm doppelganger for himself.
The Immortal Buddha doppelganger chuckled, “Main body, I have inherited all of the Immortal Buddha’s memories. Therefore, the first step is for me to impart the knowledge from the Immortal Buddha’s memories to the main body!”
Lin Yu nodded. The Immortal Buddha had lived for millions of years, and the knowledge in his mind was like a mobile library. It was better to have it than not. “Mm, not bad, continue!”
The Immortal Buddha doppelganger said, “Secondly, my previous identity was this Gale God Pterosaur. Although it was only at the Lower God realm when I possessed it, with the main body’s synchronization ability, it has now broken through to the Lower Lord God realm. Using this body, I conquered hundreds of worlds and gained trillions of believers. It would be a pity to discard it directly.”
Lin Yu also felt deeply moved. The doppelganger had put in so much effort; it would indeed be a shame to abandon the Gale God Pterosaur’s identity directly.
“So, what do you plan to do?” Lin Yu pressed.
The Immortal Buddha doppelganger said, “I have inherited everything from the Immortal Buddha. He had a method of transformation, which the main body should already be familiar with.”
Lin Yu nodded. From the initial Wrathful Manifestation of the Ming King to the later Buddha Shadow Manifestation, they had all given him quite a bit of trouble. This transformation method was indeed powerful.
The Immortal Buddha doppelganger continued, “I will use this transformation method to turn this Gale God Pterosaur into my manifestation. Then, I will modify some of the teachings and make the Gale God Pterosaur the guardian divine beast of the Immortal Buddha. In this way, the two teachings will be integrated into one, maximizing the benefits!”
Lin Yu’s eyes lit up at this. “That’s a good plan. I agree. Go and do it quickly.”
“Main body, this humble monk bids farewell.”
The Immortal Buddha doppelganger turned and left. The space beneath his feet rippled, and in the next moment, he appeared thousands of miles away.
Lin Yu’s mouth twitched slightly at the sight. This guy was already calling himself ‘this humble monk’ so quickly. He was indeed the most skilled actor among all his doppelgangers. This was for the best, as it would prevent others from seeing through him.
The Immortal Buddha departed like this, leaving the powerhouses of various realms looking puzzled.
“What deal did Lin Yu and the Immortal Buddha make?”
“They must have engaged in some backroom dealing. The Immortal Buddha probably had to bleed heavily.”
“It’s impossible if he didn’t bleed, but looking at the Immortal Buddha’s expressionless face, it might not have been too great a cost.”
“Let’s wait and see. The latest news will be out soon.”
“……”
Lin Yu heard the murmurs but shook his head, ignoring them.
Through the spatial gate, his expeditionary army returned to Blue Star. Upon their return, he immediately felt a sense of pressure.
“Indeed, the gap between the two worlds is still vast. Great Brahma is a level higher than this world, giving a sense of greater expanse.”
He returned to Central City. Besides the hundred integrated doppelgangers protecting him, the other doppelgangers dispersed, acting as individual units to eliminate demons and devils in various locations!
Blue Star had undergone immense changes, with various creatures evolving and the process not yet stopping. Almost every second, some Sin God was born. Sin Gods were formed from the negative energy of Blue Star. These Sin Gods had no consciousness, only the instinct to kill, and they would attack any living being they encountered, essentially chaotic creatures.
Killing Sin Gods was a consensus among the powerhouses of various realms. At this moment, due to Lin Yu’s intense battle, Blue Star had suffered some damage, leading to an increase in negative energy and a rise in the number of Sin Gods. However, Lin Yu was not alarmed but rather pleased. He dispatched his doppelgangers to kill Sin Gods everywhere, which unexpectedly garnered the gratitude of various races. Many people even changed their faith to worship Lin Yu.
However, Lin Yu did not achieve godhood through faith. The faith power that gathered around him, he could not absorb. He only used some methods to redirect it to the Immortal Buddha. In this way, he essentially acted as a relay station for the faith power, with the Immortal Buddha as the final destination.
Time flowed by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, he remained reclusive, while his doppelgangers went on a killing spree, eradicating all Sin Gods within a radius of ten million li. Not only that, but those races that committed evil deeds were also exterminated. For a time, within the ten million li radius centered on the human race, killings became rare. The excellent public order in this area caused many races to relocate.
The elders of the human race cabinet saw this and urgently formed an alliance of various races. They were quite adept at using others’ prestige to intimidate. Within the ten million li radius centered on the human race, various races received invitations from the human race. They dared not refuse and decided to send representatives to assess the situation.
Another three days passed. In Great Brahma, a matter of moderate importance occurred. The Immortal Buddha dispatched his subordinate Vajra to subdue a newly promoted Lord God, the Gale God Pterosaur, and convert it into a guardian divine beast of Great Brahma. Thus, Great Brahma gained a guardian divine beast: the Gale God Pterosaur. The teachings of Great Brahma also gained an Arhat position. To the powerhouses of various realms, this was merely a trivial matter. No one expected that the Gale God Pterosaur and the Immortal Buddha were one and the same.
After discussing the minor matter, it was time to talk about the major one. The human race convened all the races within a ten million li radius for an alliance conference. During the meeting, Lin Yu made a brief appearance. Seeing this, the powerhouses of various realms shivered, and all the proposals made by the elders were passed unanimously.
“Alright, the alliance conference of various races is hereby declared adjourned!”
“From this moment on, the human race shall be the first alliance leader, and you shall be the affiliated races!”
“A total of three million two hundred thousand races shall be divided into nine ranks based on the strength of their strongest members!”
“Anyone entering our region must abide by the alliance’s legal code. You are all to study it thoroughly after you leave.”
“Should any unforeseen events occur, you shall bear legal responsibility, regardless of status. Act wisely!”
“Meeting adjourned!”
Rustle!!!
The representatives of various races rose and departed. On their way, some felt apprehensive, while others were exhilarated. The races of Blue Star, in particular, wore smiles on their faces all the way.
The leader of the Unicorn clan was a ninth-order powerhouse. Before the great changes on Blue Star, he was a true strongman. However, in this era, he was merely a slightly larger ant. In the past few days, he had been living in fear, worried that foreign powerhouses might take a disliking to him and annihilate his entire clan. Fortunately, he had good luck later and pledged allegiance to a foreign race, acting as their mount. It was somewhat humiliating, but at least he could survive.
He had already resigned himself to his fate when, unexpectedly, the human race suddenly convened an alliance conference, and he was among the invited. He came with trepidation and left with excitement. According to the alliance’s legal code, all races were legally equal, though different ranks possessed different privileges. However, it stipulated that affiliated races could not be enslaved or casually killed. This meant his clan was liberated from slavery. The thought of this made him incredibly excited.
Thanks to the human race!
