From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 242: The Wrathful Glare of the Vajra

The gaze of almost every nation in the world had converged here.

First it was Northern Europe, then Rome, and now, naturally, it was India.

After all, even the entire foreign internet knew that the biggest trending topic in the world right now was not the Tariff War of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Taxes, nor the Venerable Elder's new performances, nor the rather unfriendly tenure of little Ze as Earth's global leader, nor even the geopolitical power struggles between nations. Instead, it was the reality of the Transcendents that had practically shoved itself right into their faces!

From America to Northern Europe, then Central Europe, and now the South Asian subcontinent.

Anyone with even a modicum of inside information could guess exactly what the emergence of these Supernatural Events represented.

It signified a shift in the world's rhythm, a complete and total upheaval of the global landscape!

Take America, for instance. The tariff club was still swinging, but the Nordic Five and Italy had already been removed from the tariff list. This was the tangible benefit brought about by Transcendence!

Originally, India was also being considered for removal from the list, but looking at it now, it seemed the pressure might actually be dialed up a notch!

After all, this was a country dominated by Hinduism, yet their Transcendent seemed to belong to Buddhism?

That erratic fellow, Golden Hair, had even started considering whether he should ask the Venerable Elder if he needed any "Transcendent assistance"!As long as he could lead his people to convert to the Lord, a special Envoy from the Vatican could arrive in Mumbai the very next day. Golden Hair was willing to guarantee it!

However, such a thing was highly unlikely to materialize. More than likely, if the Venerable Elder agreed today, he would end up going up to keep Lord Shiva company the very next day out of sheer, overwhelming longing.

In this nation of Hinduism, religious conversion was simply an impossible feat!

If anyone actually tried to convert, the Brahmin lords would have no choice but to slaughter their entire family.

At this moment, while observers around the world watched with varying expressions, they all saw the man who appeared on the screen.

A dark, thin, and short man, yet he was slowly floating in the sky above the city, observing everything around him.

Many members of special affairs departments recognized the man at a glance. "That is the man who appeared during the massacre a few days ago. I heard he is an Asura! He is the first Transcendent Being to emerge in India!"

Upon hearing this, the High-level Officials of various nations narrowed their eyes, wanting to get a better look at this man's appearance and power. Then, the small Drones that flew too close were suddenly pierced by blood-colored Spikes, detonating instantly.

Only then were all the observers startled into alertness. Although the man was dark and scrawny, clearly belonging to India's lowest caste, the Dalit, he was still a Transcendent. His power was still enough to strike fear into everyone's hearts!

Just like right now, if they were standing in front of him instead of behind a camera, they would have absolutely been impaled. There was no other possibility.

This gave those global giants who had never truly come into contact with Transcendence a much deeper impression of what real Transcendence entailed.

Some had even begun contemplating how to trick this man, Jari, into coming to their countries.

Even though he was a Dalit, most nations did not care about such things. As long as he could bring them Interests, they wouldn't mind even if he were an Ape.

Wasn't it just a matter of compensation and Power? Give it to him! If India could afford it, could they really not?

This man brought them a speechless shock of facing a Transcendent head-on, but before this shock and their ensuing thoughts could even conclude, a new shock arrived!

A golden Light suddenly manifested in the eyes of all the behind-the-scenes observers. It was a long golden dragon unfurling before everyone's eyes.

However, the phantom of the dragon did not truly materialize. Instead, it flickered once before dissipating, swiftly replaced by a new projection of light. A Buddhist Monk with a Shaven Head walked out from that unique radiance.

He simply walked right up to Jari and loudly declared:

"Amitabha. I am a bhikkhu sitting beneath Venerable Kashyapa, acting on the orders of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I have come specifically to seek out the evil consequences of the Asura!"

He looked at Jari and spoke softly, "Asura, you have committed the grave sins of greed, anger, and ignorance. Will you not quickly return to the Netherworld with me, subject yourself to the jurisdiction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and enter the path of hungry ghosts to cleanse your sins?"

This behavior of coming straight over, declaring one's identity, and condemning someone on the spot reminded many people of America!

Was there anyone in this world more arrogant than America?

However, an even greater number of people who had already dug up Buddhist materials and matched them with those unique Mythological Stories—namely, the self-proclaimed experts on Chinese Buddhist mythology—nodded in approval at this moment!

Yes, this was how it should be! In their impressions, this was exactly the attitude Buddhism should have!

Those insufferably arrogant, high-and-mighty Buddhist heavyweights who sought to Guide to Enlightenment everything in their path while overflowing with Compassionate Mercy—this was exactly how they were supposed to act!

Because behind them stood the Buddhas of Mount Sumeru, the exaggerated three-thousand-gods system of Buddhism, supported by several powerful Bodhisattvas in the middle tiers, and Arhats, bhikkhus, and the like at the bottom... These Buddhist Monks were supposed to be just as overbearing as the Angels of the Heavenly Kingdom. Only then would it fit their mentality of Guiding to Enlightenment everything beneath their golden radiance!

And Bai Yang wanted to reinforce this exact mentality, giving everyone a formidable first impression of these Buddhist Monks.

Otherwise, how would they compete against that flock of Christian Angels in the future?

With just this single entrance, Buddhism's sheer prestige in the eyes of people all over the world was firmly established, which was exactly what Bai Yang hoped to see.

Of course, Jari was feeling quite uncomfortable upon seeing this!

Given his level of Knowledge and experience, it was very difficult for him to understand the newcomer's words. "Who are you? What are you talking about? I haven't committed any Sin!"

Hearing this, the arriving monk understood. "So you are still steeped in ignorance, your Authority of Wisdom unawakened, and the karma on your body has clouded your spirit. It seems there is no need for further explanation!"

Therefore, he spread his hands and chanted a Buddhist title. "Namo Amitabha! Inferior Asura, born from the heart of the ocean, sinking into the mouth of the water's abyss, wandering the void by day and returning to sleep in the water by night. This Asura is born of dampness, subsumed under the animal realm!"

"You were originally a soul from the realm of hungry ghosts who strayed into the human realm, which is why you suffered through seven disasters and eight hardships. Yet, you never awakened your intellect or gathered your spirit; you hardly qualify as a living being!"

"Since that is the case, I shall sever your Asura blessings, conclude your evil consequences in the human world, seal your spiritual intelligence, and cast you back into the cycle of reincarnation!"

This so-called bhikkhu's speech was entirely filled with various jargon, leaving people all over the world utterly bewildered, which naturally included Golden Hair.

Fortunately, however, he had a senior scholar from a Buddhist academy beside him, who was staring at the man with shining eyes, visibly agitated. "Yes! Exactly like this, this is spot on! The World-Honored One should be exactly like this!"

Only then did he begin to explain it to Golden Hair. "Your Excellency the Great Leader, what he means is that this man's Asura is an inferior Asura, the kind born from foul air, an unguided and irredeemable lifeform!"

"Therefore, such a sinful creature should be cast into Hell to strip away its ignorance before it can have any kind of future!"

"Cast into Hell means..." Golden Hair froze. None of them understood Buddhist mythology, assuming this was the same as their own concept of Hell.

"No, no, no. In the definition of Buddhism, Hell is a place only reached by the dead. At that time, someone will judge their sins, and those who are guilty will be sent down to specific hells to undergo a series of punishments until their sins are finally cleansed!" the monk hurriedly clarified.

"To explain it using your culture, it is roughly similar to the Underworld. This is the Underworld belonging to Buddhism!"

Everyone nodded, their hearts still pounding wildly. Hiss, these Buddhist Monks were absolutely ruthless! Sins committed while alive still required redemption after death? Couldn't they just buy some Indulgences and call it a day?

Regardless, they now harbored a lingering trepidation toward these monks. They absolutely could not let them come over! This situation was too terrifying. To still be punished even after death?

Even the High-level Officials of various nations struggled to understand such esoteric speech. Jari, a Dalit who had only attended elementary school for two years, was naturally even more confused.

However, he could sense the other party's hostility, so he stopped trying to think about it. Instead, he directly ignited his hair, charging at the monk before him like a textbook "Saiyan"!

"I don't care what nonsense you're spouting! To think you dare to not kneel when you see me. Do you not know that I am a Divine Caste, far above the Brahmins?"

Hearing this, the bhikkhu from the Buddhist realm furrowed his brows. "This nation's karma-laden Caste System has still not been eradicated? Lord Buddha is full of Compassionate Mercy, excellent, excellent!"

His face was entirely filled with an expression of bitter sorrow. After saying this, his body suddenly jolted, transforming into a solid beam of golden Light!

"To think there is such a terrifying system! In that case, you definitely cannot be spared!"

"Namo Maha Kashyapa, Venerable one! Your disciple pleads with you here: grant me the Vajra vow forged through your countless kalpas of cultivation, and aid me in smashing evil and vanquishing demons!"

In the next second, boundless golden Light bloomed from his body and immediately assimilated into his flesh, turning him into a true Vajra:

"All demons are inherently void, created only by the mind. If the mind is like a Vajra, the demon realm is shattered."

Beneath the delivery of this single Buddhist Verse stood the crowd before him, utterly terrified into submission!
