I can't be a demon

But at the same time, he realized that the truth about the collapse of the world here was right in front of him, and Tathagata Buddha definitely knew what Jin Chanzi was doing.

While he hesitated, Tathagata Buddha coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

The skin bag actually cracked inch by inch, but the cracks healed in a short time, and it could be seen that Tathagata Buddha was riddled with holes.

Shen Lian noticed that Patriarch Bodhi also showed signs of becoming possessed.

The two are almost synchronized, and Patriarch Bodhi is even more serious, as if he is helping Tathagata Buddha to withstand unknown erosion.

Patriarch Bodhi seemed to see the doubts in Shen Lian's heart and explained: "The Three Realms are on the verge of collapse. Once the Tathagata Buddha dies and his path disappears, the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss will collapse."

"Master, you..."

"I came to the Paradise this time to delay the death of Tathagata Buddha as much as possible."

Patriarch Bodhi was very free and easy, and his behavior was not crazy. He did not care at all that he would die with Tathagata Buddha.

Shen Lian's expression was subtle and he didn't know how to answer the question.

He had determined that the two of them had no ill intentions, and bringing him here was probably related to Jin Chanzi, whom he had never met before.

Shen Lian asked what he had always doubted.

"Tathagata Buddha, how did the calamity of heaven and earth occur?"

"Heaven and Earth calamity once every 129,600 years. In fact, it has never stopped. It's just that Lingshan and Heaven turned a blind eye before."

Tathagata Buddha's facial features were squeezed together, and he sighed and said: "Everyone knows that the sutra that causes the calamity of heaven and earth will get out of control at any time, but the immortal Buddha has no choice but to ignore the calamity."

"Until more than a thousand years ago, the last calamity of heaven and earth occurred."

With the help of Tathagata Buddha's description, Shen Lian seemed to see the scene of the fall of the Three Realms. Including the Three Pure Ones and the Third Buddha, they had long forgotten the existence of the source of calamity in the world.

"Shen Lian, you are the Buddhist scripture collector appointed by Jin Chanzi. Come and meet me."

Tathagata Buddha exhaled a breath of fresh air.

"The rumored... true scripture that shrouds the Three Realms in endless shadow!!!"

The clear air rose into the sky and broke through the clouds in an instant. Shen Lian subconsciously raised his head, and then an indescribable scene came into view.

"Hmm."

Shen Lian beat four times and stagnated for two or three breaths, and the shock caused his energy and blood to flow backwards.

Behind the clouds, he saw eyes that were as numerous as stars, each one as big as the moon, which made his hair stand on end.

Shen Lian looked at the pupils and found that the pupils came from giant insects.

Each giant insect can span thousands of miles and is eagerly approaching the Elysium, its sharp mouthparts constantly chewing on the cover.

A thin layer of Buddha's light blocks giant insects from invading the three realms.

The Buddha's light may not be able to persist for a long time, because the body, soul and breath of the third generation Buddha who is responsible for maintaining the Buddha's light are slowly passing away.

"Children, ephemera, centipedes, and worms, there are all kinds of scriptures."

As soon as Shen Lian had the thought of swallowing, his Mana consciousness almost lost contact, which proved that his current strength was equivalent to death in the face of the true scripture.

He stretched out his palm, wanting to touch the scripture that was within reach.

"Tathagata Buddha, Master, Golden Chanzi is going to the west to collect scriptures, are you going to... go up there?"

"Well, that's outside the territory."

Ancestor Bodhi threw out a scroll of portraits. The golden cicadas on it were lifelike, but their expressions were filled with deep sadness.

Tathagata Buddha sighed deeply, "Two thousand years ago, Lingbao Tianzun discovered that there was a palm-sized hole in the outer sky."

"Perhaps compared to the size of the scripture, the holes are not worth mentioning, but the influence from the scripture has indeed spread in the three realms."

The first is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, as the spiritual root that lives with heaven and earth.

It actually started to wither.

Immortals and Buddhas didn't know what it meant, so Sanqing came forward to try to remedy the situation, but to no avail. Then, after a hundred years of withering, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth came back to life without any competition.

Shen Lian said presciently: "The spiritual energy is exhausted?"

"kindness."

"To be precise, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth are transforming the three realms and becoming more suitable for the coming of the scripture. At this time, the hole has expanded to half a meter."

Shen Lian thought of the legend about Nuwa patching up the sky. Are all disasters outside the territory?

Tathagata Buddha stared at the portrait and said, "When the hole can be opened to people, the immortals and Buddhas realized that the coming of the true scripture cannot be stopped."

"Subsequently, Jin Chanzi proposed at the meditation meeting that he would go outside the area to observe the celestial phenomena and understand the Mahayana Buddhism to save all sentient beings in the three realms."

Shen Lian was silent. What Jin Chanzi did was actually right.

The three realms are all adapting to the way of heaven. If the immortals and Buddhas do not adapt in advance, they will become food for insects after the scripture comes.

"No one knows what Jin Chanzi's experience was outside the territory. They only know that he returned to the Paradise after half a year, and his eyes had been gouged out by himself."

"The golden cicada carries twelve volumes of scriptures obtained by contemplating the true scriptures."

Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but tremble when he heard the twelve volumes of sutras. That was the beginning of chaos in the three realms, and the way of heaven was reduced to a source of decoration.

If you look carefully, you can see that the pupils are made of insects.

That's right.

The true scripture is outside the Paradise, as if you can reach out and touch it.

Just by staring, Shen Lian felt a chilling illusion. Countless eyes flashed with strange light, assessing the situation for himself.

Tathagata Buddha murmured: "This is outside the realm."

Patriarch Bodhi explained: "The true scriptures have existed for hundreds of millions of years, and the first calamity of heaven and earth in the three realms was due to their intervention."

"The calamity of heaven and earth is a periodic catastrophe in the three realms. It is an inevitable phenomenon in the movement of heaven. It means the end of an old era."

"The arrival of the scriptures should have opened up a new era, but they were blocked from it, causing the three realms to experience catastrophes again and again."

Patriarch Bodhi looked bitter as he recalled his experience at the Fruit Appreciation Conference at Wuzhuang.

At that time, he took advantage of the opportunity of creating his own scripture and looked up. The first thing he saw was the riddled heaven, and the second thing he saw was the scripture.

The drastic changes in the way of heaven turned out to be just due to an extra hole in the paradise world.

So what if you understand the scripture yourself, you won't be able to fight against it, and it will even accelerate the collapse of the barrier of Paradise.

Patriarch Bodhi went completely crazy at that time, so he chose to give up the scriptures.

After a thousand years of confusion, if he had not met Shen Lian again, perhaps Patriarch Bodhi would not have gone to the Paradise of Paradise, but would have passed away on his own.

"So, where is the hole leading to the outside world?"

As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, the Buddha's light emanating from Tathagata's body stopped, and suddenly the swarm of insects outside the territory began to move.

A rustling sound sounded.

Just above Shen Lian's head, there was a gap where the Buddha's light had previously shone concentratedly.

Some worms crawled into the gap to eat the spiritual shield that protected the three realms, and other giant insects followed closely, trying to make the gap pass through them.

Shen Lian noticed that the Sutra has the characteristic of swallowing everything.

As they continued to eat, a large amount of scriptures surged through their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, new giant worms emerged one after another.

The scripture has the ability to reproduce infinitely, representing an infinite number.

Shen Lian's eyes were blank. No matter how the Mana consciousness deduced, he could only come to the conclusion that there was a dead end, and deep despair surged into his heart. Presumably Jin Chanzi was like this when he was alive, and he knew that taking the true scripture would not help either.

Shen Lian finally knew the truth about this world and fell into deep confusion, not knowing what the relationship between Jin Chanzi and himself was.

"Master, why does Jin Chanzi recognize me?"

Patriarch Bodhi was silent, and Tathagata Buddha said solemnly: "Because he has seen you in the outside world, and the wisp of soul wandering among the scriptures is also the golden cicada that leads you into reincarnation."

At this time, the Paradise of Paradise has not been protected by Tathagata Buddha for a long time, and the ground shook.

Maitreya Buddha and the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng spontaneously rioted, and the Buddha's light burst into the sky. They had no intention of preventing the collapse of the hole, but instead promoted the arrival of the true scripture.

It can be seen that Patriarch Bodhi is right, the three generations of Buddhas do not have the same stance.

The Tathagata Buddha mainly resists the advent of the scriptures. Maitreya Buddha and the Randen Ancient Buddha hope to reshape the order of the three realms after refining the scriptures.

Shen Lian frowned slightly and watched Tathagata Buddha sealing the hole again.

After a lot of twists and turns, Tathagata Buddha's condition became increasingly unstable, and it would probably take less than a thousand years for him to be completely reduced to a withered skeleton.

Shen Lian no longer hesitated, many questions could only be answered by Tathagata Buddha.

"Tathagata Buddha, where is your body that was born from the old shell?"

"Detached."

Tathagata Buddha's answer was extremely simple, his eyes became profound, "Same as the Three Pure Ones, they all transcend the three realms and ascend to...the upper realm."

There was an obvious pause when he mentioned the upper realm.

Shen Lian had heard before that after the destruction of the old heaven, Sanqing created the upper realm, but the swarms of insects overwhelmed the village, so where could the great supernatural power bypass the true scriptures.

He was just about to continue asking, but he heard Tathagata Buddha say: "Shen Lian, there is no time left for the three realms, go ahead."
