Chapter 716: There is no good god in the three worlds
Chapter 716: There is no good god in the three realms
"Wait, don't be impulsive!"
When the situation became tense, Wen Rui quickly stepped in front of Kong Xuan and stopped him decisively.
When the two sides went to war, Wen Rui, at his level, could only follow behind Kong Xuan and provide assistance. He had no right to initiate the fight. He was afraid of an accidental discharge of the gun, so he could only persuade Kong Xuan to stop the fight. In this kind of atmosphere, if he went to stop the angry Nuwa, he would probably be beaten to death by her.
"You are sensible. You haven't become arrogant enough to look down on others. You have some self-awareness..."
Nuwa sneered, thinking that Wen Rui had given in, and was about to withdraw her pressure, but Wen Rui said, "We can't fight here. First, it's too rude. If two grown men rush into Nuwa's boudoir and beat her up, we brothers will lose face no matter we win or lose. Second, I spent a lot of money to renovate this Nuwa Palace. It is an artistic treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation. It would be a pity to destroy it.
"Besides, I haven't received the payment for the project yet. As long as the Nuwa Palace is still there, Goddess Nuwa owes me a favor. If I destroy it, I will be the one who suffers the loss."
After persuading Kong Xuan, Wen Rui turned to face Nuwa and said, "Whether the Queen agrees or not, I will carry out the dehydration plan for the human race of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You can come and stop me when the time comes. We can fight again then."
After saying that, Wen Rui took out two syringes filled with green medicine from his bag and delivered them to Nuwa through the air using telekinesis.
"This is the 'pheasant turns into a phoenix' potion. During the transformation process, you need to guard it and inject a large amount of immortal power. Otherwise, it will turn back into a phoenix but it will be a weak phoenix with only the form but no realm at all."
After handing over the potion, Wen Rui pulled Kong Xuan and walked quickly towards the exit of the Wahuang Palace, saying as he walked: "Junior will take his leave. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will be magnanimous and not bother with a junior like me."
Nuwa stared at them as they left, and after much thought, she finally opened the exit of the secret realm and no longer tried to keep them.
In the secret realm opened up by Nuwa, Kong Xuan and Wen Rui could not come and go as they pleased. If Nuwa insisted on sealing off the secret realm, they could only leave by breaking the space barrier.
Nuwa finally chose to restrain herself and did not fight with them on the spot. Most likely, she listened to Wen Rui's second reason and was reluctant to see the Nuwa Palace turned into ruins in the aftermath of the battle.
Kong Wen and the other person walked out of the Wahuang Palace. The space switched and countless pilgrims who came to the Wahuang Palace to burn incense and worship appeared around them.
"Brother Wen, why are you trying to stop me? Even though she has many magic weapons, I can wipe them all out with a single blow of my divine light. It won't take long to decide the winner. Before she can even reach the Empress Nuwa's Palace, she will have already been hit by my divine light and be captured."
Kong Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "But you were asked to stop at the critical moment, and ended up with such a never-ending result. Millions of people from the Great Zhou were left as military rations for the Demon Mosquitoes. How long will this war last? When can I reunite with my family?"
Wen Rui touched his chin and frowned, "It doesn't make sense. It's obviously a win-win situation, why doesn't Nuwa cooperate with me? Is there really another hidden reason? I can't figure this out. It's better for us to maintain strategic focus. Otherwise, even if we defeat her, it may backfire."
Kong Xuan was no longer dissatisfied after hearing this. He nodded slowly and sighed, "You are still very thoughtful... I don't know what happened, but I have always wanted to fight with the saints again to verify whether my five-color divine light is ineffective against all saints."
"You may not like to hear this, but I'm afraid that Goddess Nuwa may also have a way to break your five-colored divine light."
Wen Rui rolled his eyes and said, "If she is swept into the Divine Light Space by you, she only needs to unfold the Mountain and River State Map to crush you like the Taoist Zhunti. After all, you are not me, and you cannot carry the whole world on your shoulders."
Kong Xuan's face turned dark and his expression became somewhat unnatural. It was obvious that his confidence had suffered a great blow.
"Why doesn't Nuwa agree?" Wen Rui ignored him and muttered in a low voice: "From my humble perspective, it seems that the mortal world has suffered a great disaster and the human race has been completely exterminated. This is actually an opportunity for Nuwa. If all the people die, she can gain merit for creating humans. If the mortal world is destroyed, she can tear down a piece of the repaired sky and release endless water from the sky to wash away the filth, which can also gain merit for repairing the sky."
"Killing two birds with one stone is much more efficient than slowly supporting the rise of the human race to gain merit. Why not do it?"
"So, it would be much more beneficial for her to sit back and watch the human race perish than to work hard to save the world, so she would definitely stop me from saving the world."
The distraught Kong Xuan was shocked by Wen Rui's conspiracy theory: "No way, is it so dark?"
"It's hard to say!" Wen Rui pouted and said, "When you were the Protector of the Nation in the Maurya Dynasty, didn't you realize that after a long period of peace, the people did not contribute much and gradually forgot about you. Didn't you consider cultivating some opposing forces at the time, such as demons and monsters that would invade from time to time, and then you would appear to bless the kingdom's army and help them repel the enemy. If you did that, the incense would definitely be very prosperous."
"This cycle comes every few decades, and the accumulated merits are enough for you to attain the Sandalwood Merit Buddhahood just by virtue of your great merits."
"Eh? This is also possible?"
Kong Xuan was stunned. Wen Rui's words seemed to open the door to a new world for him: "Not good. Western religions encourage people to be good. How can they nurture an enemy to protect themselves..."
"Isn't this a basic exercise taught in the West?"
Wen Rui said disdainfully, "Don't disbelieve me. In the future, maybe Buddha and Bodhisattva will really use human heads to fill the hole to make up for the disaster. Then you will know that my trick is shameless, but very effective."
He continued to mutter to himself with a serious expression, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was analyzing the thoughts of all parties involved in the game to Kong Xuan.
"In Nuwa's opinion, no matter how much trouble Taoist Mosquito makes, he will be limited by his realm. If he fails to become a saint, he will be nothing more than an ant and will perish sooner or later."
"At that time, no matter how badly the mortal world was damaged, she would come out to clean up the mess, and it would be a sure win and a reward for her."
"Western religions can also wait for the new human race created by Nuwa to multiply to a certain size, and then return from the Land of Bliss to preach and spread the Dharma again, welcoming the next era of Dharma in the great cycle of reincarnation."
"The Heavenly Palace will be silent for a long time without the incense offerings, but the gods have long life spans, so they can endure it."
"Only the awakened new humans and new demons of my demon alliance can be eliminated by the Blood Sea Demons in this catastrophe, cutting off the seeds of civilization. Only the world where Jiejiao is injured can be achieved."
Kong Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "According to what you said, there are no good gods and Buddhas in the Three Realms? It is in their interest to watch the world be destroyed and all living beings die, and we can accept it happily? What are all things and all living beings in their eyes?"
"A straw dog, or a sacrifice."
Wen Rui smacked his lips and said, "Only we, Jiejiao, are willing to fight for a glimmer of hope for all things and all living beings, and save them from the altar. Perhaps it is because we are too different and can't fit in, that we have become a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh?"
