From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 222: An Evil God Truly Belongs Here!

"It doesn't even have self-awareness, so why would it actively resist being summoned?" Bai Yang muttered, curiously studying the Godhead Shard and probing the information hidden within it.

The deeper he probed, the more fascinating he found it.

The Godhead Shard had indeed been "polluted," and this contamination stemmed entirely from the "faith" of this region.

The people here were undeniably devout, so much so that every word and action they made contained an absurdly exaggerated amount of Wish Power.

In an era devoid of the supernatural, this absurd devotion could not generate any real power, as its essence was merely a state of mind.

However, with Bai Yang's ongoing transformation of this world, Wish Power had evolved from simple conceptual information into a force possessing Transcendent properties, naturally gaining the ability to influence a Godhead Shard!

And in this place, what was the most extreme manifestation of Wish Power? It was piety, the hope for an afterlife, and an amalgamation of various faiths. Yet, the ultimate and most absurd concept of all was the "caste" system!

Consequently, this spiritual pollution rooted itself most deeply and thoroughly within the caste system!

"You lowly... how dare you touch me?" Hearing this sentence emanate from the Godhead Shard, Bai Yang's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

'Isn't this just a case of taking forever to learn good habits, but picking up bad ones instantly?'The Godhead Shard lacked even the most basic self-awareness, yet it had been so deeply corrupted by the boundless Wish Power in this region that it genuinely considered itself the supreme "Brahmin" caste...

Bai Yang felt that in all the time he had spent in this world, he had never been left speechless as often as he was today. He could clearly see the sky-blotting Wish Power, but to him, it wasn't a source of strength at all—it was pure "pollution"!

This wasn't the Wish Power he had actively cultivated. Instead, it was a peculiar Wish Power system known as Hinduism. To be precise, he couldn't even control the Wish Power here; after all, long before his arrival, the people of this land already believed that gods were entirely real.

But since this world possessed no true gods and lacked any method to utilize Wish Power, it simply accumulated here, ultimately using its colossal attributes to corrupt Bai Yang's Godhead Shard.

Therefore, even though there was a monstrous amount of Wish Power right in front of him, Bai Yang felt as disgusted as if he had just eaten a mouthful of filth.

He could theoretically absorb it, but he feared that doing so would deeply embed the caste system into his own mind, leading him to do something completely unhinged. This wasn't impossible, as India had a precedent for such things:

In the past, missionaries had traveled to this country, finally managing to convince the Government to declare that converts could abandon their castes. Yet, the moment those people escaped their low caste status, they immediately began crowning themselves with high caste titles.

This country was just that surreal.

"Crown, this place is truly a paradise for Evil Gods!" Alvin remarked with a heavy sigh, having finally recovered from his own indescribable shock.

"Evil Gods?" Bai Yang asked curiously. "Do you mean beings like the God of Lies?"

On the Dylan Continent, Higgs, the God of Lies, was indeed considered an Evil God. After all, he was ostracized by the True Gods and did not belong to any ruling Divine Pantheon, so he was naturally branded as evil.

Alvin shook his head. "Not exactly. On the Dylan Continent, there are certain deities whose actions are secretive, brutal, and bizarre. They are universally classified as Evil Gods, and some of them even possess Powerful Divine Power!"

"They wield immense strength, harbor malicious intents, possess evil divine natures, and hold cruel divine portfolios! The most representative among them are the Evil Dragon God and the Demons of Hell. They are manifestations of pure Evil, so they typically guide their followers toward wickedness to harvest even more power!"

"The Demons you created fall into this category, though they still adhere to the order of Hell, so they cannot be considered absolutely evil!"

"If true Evil Gods were to discover this country, they would treat it as a priceless treasure. The chaos and disorder here are the absolute best nutrients for their growth!"

"The negative emotions and the sheer density of faith here would serve as the perfect breeding ground for certain vile creatures!"

Hearing this, an epiphany suddenly struck Bai Yang!

"What you said actually makes a lot of sense! I was just wondering if I should find some righteous individuals to come here and reform this place, but in a cesspool of a country like this, where would I even find anyone righteous?"

Holding the Godhead Shard in his hand, he felt the sheer madness radiating from it—a madness born entirely from the obsession over "caste superiority." Finally, he knew exactly what he needed to do.

"The people here are even more numb than those in the Middle Ages. The madness of the Middle Ages was at least driven by a desire to survive, but these people are purely seeking death!"

Bai Yang sighed with inexplicable emotion. He then waved his hand, erasing the "pollution" from the Godhead Shard. He extracted this corrupted essence and, through the refinement of God Power, molded a highly unique and sinister entity.

The figure was dressed entirely in black, with long dark hair cascading down to frame a face that radiated an almost demonic wickedness.

[Wutian]

"I never expected to be born in such a manner!" Wutian said slowly. Facing Bai Yang, he showed no reverence toward his creator, appearing entirely indifferent instead. "Why have you summoned me?" This was the first deity Bai Yang had created who was fully aware of his own existence, yet he was also an entity born entirely of illusions and unreality.

"No form of man, no form of self, no form of all living beings, no form of a soul!" Bai Yang said with a light chuckle. "This is the Buddha's Enlightenment and Compassionate Mercy of the Tathagata!"

"So, having been born from the forms, desires, and suffering of all living beings, how do you plan to shape your own Buddhist realm? Buddha Wutian?"

Hearing Bai Yang's words, Wutian burst into laughter. "Hahahahaha! Those disciples and descendants of Shakyamuni have already lost their own lands, so what right do they have to speak?"

"From this day forth, this land is my Buddhist Kingdom. The Black-Clothed Buddhist Kingdom will rise once more upon this soil, using everything here to forge my domain!"

"If anyone here dares to resist, I will kill them and pave my kingdom with their bones!"

"From now on, I am the Buddha of this western continent. Knowing no law and fearing no heaven, I am Wutian!"

Bai Yang clapped his hands as he listened. "Excellent. Then, descend to the mortal realm!"

As he spoke, the Godhead Shard in his hand was gradually refined and transformed into a special artifact. It became a black lotus platform, radiating a pitch-black light that illuminated the surroundings as it descended with boundless Darkness and Evil—the "World-Destroying Black Lotus"!

Wutian gave a slight nod. Taking the black lotus platform, he turned into a streak of light and plummeted into the mortal world.

"Crown, that guy is extremely dangerous!" Watching Wutian's departure, Alvin could distinctly sense the sheer peril the entity posed.

Bai Yang nodded. "Yes, I did that on purpose. This country is simply too rotten; I don't even dare absorb the Wish Power here. So, rather than letting it continue to fester, it's better to toss a predatory catfish into the pond and let it completely turn this world upside down!"

"If Wutian succeeds, then we can comfortably harvest this Wish Power. If he fails, it doesn't matter, because we haven't actually lost anything!"

"When it comes to toying with people's hearts, manipulating public opinion, and shaping the future of a Buddhist realm, Wutian might just be the perfect choice!"

"Therefore, to allow him to perform at his absolute best, I gave him the maximum amount of freedom!"

Alvin asked curiously, "But what if he eventually grows too powerful to control? What then?"

"How could my creation ever slip out of my control? Hasn't his enemy already been prepared?" Bai Yang said with a beaming smile. After all, this was India, and to its southeast, the world's third-largest widespread religion was watching like a tiger stalking its prey!

Besides, now that Wutian had appeared, how could the true Buddha just sit back and watch?

Alvin nodded. "Is that why you restricted his power solely to illusory Wish Power?"

"Exactly!" Bai Yang declared. "The battle between Buddha and Demon is inherently a clash of minds, a spiritual struggle, and a war woven in illusions. Therefore, this virtual Wish Power is the most suitable fuel for them!"

Virtual Wish Power, paired with the unique force known as "Buddha," would perhaps be a match made in heaven.

After all, the true purpose of Wutian's existence was to shatter order. Bai Yang knew this, Alvin knew this, and Wutian himself was perfectly aware of it.

"If he can genuinely accomplish what I've set out for him, then even if this country no longer belongs to him in the future, I will promise him a Realm or Domain. A world within a Realm or Domain, a utopia that he is willing to govern!"

"The Buddha spoke of three thousand worlds, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. I speak of endless worlds, and across All Worlds, everything has its purpose!"

Bai Yang tapped his fingers rhythmically. "From this moment on, we can step beyond the boundaries of mere Gods and march toward the path of becoming 'Lords of the World'!"

He gazed at the surreal world before him, a complex emotion flashing through his eyes. "An Evil God truly belongs here! After all, the people in this place are far more wicked than any Evil God could ever be!"
