From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 241: Buddha and Asura

Yes, within this city, there was not just one, but actually two people who had not been hypnotized by the actions of Bai Yang and Wutian!

Sur was there, enjoying an indescribable reunion with his son. Even though it was not a natural family gathering among the living, it still provided him with a rare sense of comfort that he had scarcely encountered in his entire life.

After all, as a Dalit, he had been forced to work in the fields since he was very young. He had to help his parents scavenge through garbage heaps while carefully dodging various dangers, surviving only through extreme caution.

In the slums, to raise his son, he had to ensure no one discovered that he left a child at home while he went out to work alone.

If anyone found out, he would return the very next day to see a wide-open door and his son missing.

Because of this, he had never been able to sit down and speak a single quiet word with his child like this.

Now, his wish had finally been granted. Even though this opportunity seemed incredibly extravagant and bizarre—he was still alive, yet his child was already nothing but a soul!

The father and son gazed at each other in this eerie state, relying on one another. Neither had any intention of leaving, turning them into a bizarre spectacle within the city.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the remaining person who had not been affected was, of course, the city's only Transcendent Being, the Asura—Jari Rahtu.

As a Transcendent Being, he carried Bai Yang's will upon him, so naturally, he was immune to this unique illusion. However, he still sensed the eeriness blanketing the city.After all, having just lived as a High-Caste for a few days, he was absolutely furious to find no one here to serve him his meal!

"Kumar? Where are you? Get over here! If you don't come right now, I'll kill you!"

It had to be said that after two days of acting like a supreme master, Jari's temperament and bearing had noticeably changed. He had already begun thinking about problems from the perspective of a superior.

After all, in his heart, he belonged to a caste higher than the Brahmins. Although he did not fully understand what 'higher' truly meant, he was a god, so he was definitely superior!

Over the past two days, he had killed more than two Brahmins who had come to "persuade him to surrender." Naturally, he had formed his own plans.

Since his family was gone, he would find many Brahmin women and father numerous children who shared his Asura caste.

This way, he and his children would become the true divine race upon the lands of India, rather than just existing as they did now.

His family would rule this land just like the Brahmins, and relying on his Asura power, he himself would become the true master of the nation!

Deeply poisoned by the Caste System, his very first reaction upon seizing power was still to consolidate his own caste authority. It was an unspeakable irony.

Thinking of his future, Jari chuckled cheerfully once more, but then his expression turned exceedingly grim. "Kumar! What are you doing? Are you really choosing to betray me?"

"Trust me, you do not want to experience the feeling of having your body impaled!"

In just a few days, Jari had completed his absolute depravity. Relying on sheer strength, coercion, and the profits from the Factory, he had established his own kingdom right here.

He did not even spare a glance at the low-caste women anymore. Instead, he fixed his eyes entirely on the High-Caste women sent over by the Brahmins!

These women were the true delicacies. Their skin was fair, their bodies slender and beautiful, and they completely lacked the foul stench common among ordinary women, giving off a fragrant scent instead.

Indulging in these unprecedented luxuries almost made Jari want to agree to their proposal and become a member of the Brahmins himself!

This could be considered entirely risk-free. Furthermore, those Brahmins even had ready-made precedents on hand.

For example, when the Aryans invaded in the past, and later the British, they all arrived with intentions to rule and reform. Yet, under the subservient maneuvering of the Brahmins, it always turned into a co-rulership with them.

It was utterly bizarre, proving just how flexible the Brahmins could be. No matter what kind of invaders came, they could turn them into their own people. The only price paid was the worthless low-castes and Pariahs.

To the Brahmins, this did not even count as a price, but merely a necessary procedure.

Unfortunately, Jari's desires were far stronger. He ultimately abandoned the idea of joining their caste, choosing instead to push forward with his own ambition: elevating his caste far above the Brahmins.

However, over the last two days, he had also been negotiating with the Brahmin High Priest, Arjun. They discussed not creating an entirely new Caste Hierarchy, but rather classifying his caste as the absolute highest tier among the Brahmins, making him the true King of the Brahmins. If that happened, he would achieve his goal and even gain a legitimate claim to rule over the Brahmins. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Today was supposed to be the day he continued his negotiations with High Priest Arjun. Yet, not only did the High Priest fail to show up, but even his loyal servant Kumar was nowhere to be found. This left Jari seething with rage!

Consequently, he activated the energy within his body once again—the power that originated from the Asura King, which now belonged entirely to him!

A majestic, surging aura erupted. The air around him ignited, and Jari transformed back into the Asura King, intending to head to the Factory to see exactly who dared to oppose him!

But when he stepped out of the Factory, the scene before him left him stunned.

Because he did not see defiance and betrayal, but rather crowds of people sound asleep.

The people in the Factory were asleep, the people in the slums were asleep. It seemed as though everyone in this city was asleep!

This left Jari somewhat dumbfounded. What was going on? What was the reason for this? Just what exactly had happened?

He had only taken a nap, yet why did it feel like the entire city had been turned upside down?

His shallow knowledge naturally prevented him from grasping the truth of the situation, so Jari was destined to remain bewildered.

Little did he know, his reckless flaunting of power had already drawn Bai Yang's attention.

While watching Zanluo Guide the masses to Enlightenment, turning everyone in Shituling into Buddhist Followers, Bai Yang sensed a slight ripple of power that alerted him to the emergence of this particular Asura.

"Heh! I haven't even gone looking for him, yet he jumped out on his own?" A cold smirk tugged at the corners of Bai Yang's mouth. Although his words were plain, the indifference in his eyes indicated that he was not in a good mood.

Of course he wasn't in a good mood. After all, he had shaped so many Transcendent Beings, and most of them jumped around within his designated frameworks. The few who broke out of those frameworks were also developing quite well, constantly spiraling upward!

However, Jari was the sole exception. Once this guy acquired power, his descent into depravity was simply too fast. Before Bai Yang could even react, he had already fully succumbed, becoming just another member of this rotting society.

In the very beginning, Bai Yang had molded him specifically to shatter this decaying society!

It was utterly absurd, yet far too fitting for the current state of this country. With such a rapid rate of corruption, it was no wonder they lacked the ability to rebel against the system.

However, this did not align with Bai Yang's intentions. Coincidentally, he also knew that people all over the world were watching this city. Therefore, before Zanluo completely Guided the city to Enlightenment, he might as well give the global audience a little surprise!

"Ah, these people must be very wary of Buddhist Monks right now, so we might as well make them even more vigilant!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "Alvin, if someone is needed to subdue the Asura, who do you think would be the most suitable?"

Alvin shook his head. "I cannot know such things, Crown. That is entirely up to your will!"

Bai Yang did not actually expect Alvin to come up with a concrete answer anyway. With a casual point of his finger, a shadow bathed in what seemed to be Buddha's Light materialized within the previously empty space.

Within the shadow, only a Shaven Head was visible, while the rest remained obscure. Yet, this was more than enough to serve as the actor for this little performance.

Then, Bai Yang shifted his gaze back to the city, taking in the sight of the sleeping masses. Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

"Ah, I almost forgot. This city is already asleep, leaving only the drone audience!"

"This is actually a great opportunity. Since everyone in the city is asleep, I only need to control Jari's power output. Even by just using light and sound effects, I can easily fabricate an epic battle!"

It was simply because he had grown terrified of being poor. Even though he was wealthy now, Bai Yang had no intention of wasting resources blindly and immediately began orchestrating the scene.

The plot of the story remained unchanged, and the overall effect was the same, but the expenditure of God Power and Wish Power could be reduced significantly!

Those people were merely watching a show anyway; there was no difference to them whether what they saw was real or fake. In that case, he might as well save some God Power, ensuring that his God Power and Wish Power were spent where they were truly needed!

"It is not yet time to ignite the divine fire of Buddhism, but this operation must be overwhelmingly shocking and dominant. Only then can this region be brought to temporary peace!"

Bai Yang finalized his plan. "Therefore, this Asura cannot die just yet. Instead, he can be Guided to Enlightenment to become a guardian deity!"

"Lord Buddha embodies Compassionate Mercy, after all. A standard operation!"
