Chapter 2773 - Prophecy
Chapter 2773 Prophecy
For many years, a prophecy had been circulating around.
The changes of the world would begin in the Original Realm.
Now, the world was already beginning to change. The Ruins of the Gods appeared in the world, and the cultivators from various realms surged to the ruins for relics. Countless people went through transformations and improved their cultivation. Many prominent figures surfaced, and the talented young cultivators assumed leadership positions. They slowly rose to the peak of the cultivation world.
Cultivators like Donghuang Diyuan, Di Hao, Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, Ye Qingyao, and Ji Wudao gradually reached their heyday. Moreover, they would surely attain even more glorious achievements in the future.
However, this was naturally not the end of the changes in the world.
How would the future unfold?
Currently, many people had already found out that this prophecy originated from the Western Heaven of the World of Buddhism. Since that was the case, the prophet who made the statement was most likely Buddha of Destiny, who now stood before them.
Buddha of Destiny cultivated Omniscient. No one knew how proficient he was in this Buddhist superpower, but it was highly likely that he could catch a glimpse of the future.
His prophecy about the changes to the world had come to pass. Had Buddha of Destiny foreseen even more significant changes occurring?
Yan Guiyi roared, “The changes of the world might have been triggered by the War of the Six Realms. It is an inevitable trend and cannot be stopped. The war is also a part of the changes.”
Buddha of Destiny responded, “The world will soon welcome even more major changes. Everything will be reformed. This war is not an inevitable trend. The Great Emperors are the mightiest existences in the cultivation world, and they rule over the Six Realms. They view others as their chess pieces. However, all living beings are equal. Since the ending has been decided, why should we sacrifice lives in vain? If war erupts, countless cultivators from the Six Realms will perish. Why should we put ourselves through this agony?”
After Buddha of Destiny said this, he bowed towards the high heavens and pleaded, “Great Emperors, please hear my plea. Please cease fighting so that we can avoid a disaster.”
Even though he looked gaunt, the Light of Buddha shone brightly from his figure. He emanated a golden light, which caused the crowd to revere him.
Buddha of Destiny rarely appeared in public. After so many years, very few people recognized him. Even if he traveled around, such a scraggy elder would not draw anyone’s attention. However, he had come out from seclusion this time to beg for the compassion of the Great Emperors so that a war could be avoided.
This war was a war among the Imperial Palaces of the Six Realms. If it continued, it would brew into something larger in scale and expand to other places. Currently, this continent had become a battlefield. If the fighting continued, countless cultivators would lose their lives.
Buddha of Destiny had great compassion. Hence, he had come out of seclusion and rushed here to plead with the Great Emperors to stop fighting.
Dazzling, colorful lights covered a spot in the sky. A phantasm appeared from the lights, and the figure actually bowed towards Buddha of Destiny. He seemed to have great respect for the latter. He said politely, “Since Buddha Lord has spoken, I, Donghuang, will surely oblige. The cultivators of the Divine Prefecture will withdraw from this war.”
His voice reverberated in the vast space. Everyone ceased fighting and looked up to the sky. Even the Great Emperor had personally come. Therefore, there was no need for them to continue battling.
The crowd wondered about the identity of the Buddha Lord who had spoken. Even Donghuang the Great bowed to him.
Was The Buddha of the Western Heaven here?
“Many thanks, Your Highness,” Buddha of Destiny responded as he bowed towards the sky. Donghuang the Great gave the World of Buddhism face by being the first to second Buddha of Destiny’s plea. After all, he used to seek the Way in the World of Buddhism, so he was considered half a Buddhist disciple.
“All of you, come back.” Another voice sounded. Immediately, the few ancient cultivators, who had come from the Human Realm, transformed into beams of light and left the battlefield in a dash. They had come for the war. Their retreat meant that Human Ancestor also supported Buddha of Destiny’s plea.
Although Human Ancestor did not show himself, his voice could be heard from the heavens. “This time, Dark Sovereign instigated the War of the Six Realms; therefore, I ordered my men to stop his massacre by killing his members. I have done so to prevent the masses from being killed in vain. Since Buddha of Destiny has spoken, the Human Realm is willing to take a step back. However, if the Dark World still refuses to stop, the Human Realm will purge the darkness to restore order to the world.”
“Many thanks, Human Ancestor,” Buddha of Destiny said as he bowed again towards the sky. Human Ancestor had an extraordinary status because he was the most ancient Great Emperor among the six. He had been very courteous with Buddha of Destiny by commanding his men to stop fighting. The stance of the World of Buddhism went without saying. Buddha of Destiny was a member of the upper echelon in their world. His stance represented that of their world.
The ‘righteous’ sides, including the Human Realm, the Western Heavenly World, and the Divine Prefecture, were all willing to stop the war.
It was all up to the Devil World, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm.
“Where did that jack*ss go? Why are you the only one here?” Another voice sounded from the sky. Terrifying demonic might accompanied the voice, churning and roaring. Obviously, the will of the Devil Emperor had
arrived.
The jack*ss that he mentioned was undoubtedly The Buddha, who was as powerful as the Great Emperors.
“To my knowledge, The Buddha is currently cultivating in the Colorless Heaven. Hence, he has not come over this time,” Buddha of Destiny replied while bowing in the direction where the Devil Emperor’s voice sounded. He was not offended by the way the other party addressed The Buddha. The six Great Emperors were supreme existences on another level compared to the rest of them.
Buddha of Destiny had no say in their speech or actions.
“What is he trying to do? Purge himself?” the Devil Emperor teased coldly. “I have a question for you. Since you prophesied that the world is about to change, exactly what kind of changes will it go through? Could it be that there will be new Great Emperors?”
“I dare not reveal the secrets of the future,” Buddha of Destiny responded.
“Don’t try to play tricks with me. You don’t dare to reveal the secrets of the future? In that case, who was the one that came up with the prophecy?” the Devil Emperor chided coldly. “That jacka*s is not here now. What if I insist that you answer my question?”
“Devil Emperor, you are a Great Emperor, yet you bully a…” Medicine Buddha Lord joined the conversation while looking in the direction where the Devil Emperor was.
“Shut up. You are not qualified to speak here,” the Devil Emperor interrupted him. With a domineering tone, he continued to pressure Buddha of Destiny, saying, “Of course, you can choose not to reveal anything. I won’t attack you. But I will not agree to your request of withdrawing my troops.”
“Rumor has it that once a cultivator has cultivated Omniscient to its utmost limit, they can see through the fates of everyone. The superpower itself is full of wonders. Even though I don’t believe in it, I am still somewhat curious. Master, exactly what kind of changes did you foresee?” Human Ancestor joined the conversation. He sounded interested.
Everyone knew that Human Ancestor did not believe in fate or destiny. He managed the order of the human world and thought that human will was stronger than destiny. According to legends, Human Ancestor was an ordinary man in the past. During his era, there were way too many talented figures. He was not exceptional, yet he was firmly rooted in his belief. During the age when the gods ruled over the world, he remained steadfast to his belief that the gods were merely very powerful cultivators. He insisted that once humans cultivated to their greatest potential, they could be on par with the gods, even with their mortal flesh.
Humans were comparable to gods.
The validity of this legend had yet to be verified. However, one could tell the belief of Human Ancestor based on this tale. He lived out his faith by ruling over the Human Realm and creating the Divine Human.
Humans could also be gods. The Divine Human was formed from this belief.
Therefore, Human Ancestor did not believe in the concept of fate preached in the World of Buddhism.
Buddha of Destiny had a vision about the future, and he prophesied that the world would be changed. However, Human Ancestor did not trust a single word of it.
“I want to know too,” said the Evil Emperor as his face surfaced in the sky. Now that three Great Emperors had expressed their interest in this matter, Buddha of Destiny would most likely be forced to reveal some details even though the former might not have evil intentions to harm him if he chose to remain silent.
“Amitabha.” Buddha of Destiny put his palms together and said, “Everything in the world will be reformed. The Age of the Gods will come once again.”
His voice was solemn. As soon as he dropped this information, the crowd went silent. Nobody spoke a word. Everyone, including the six Great Emperors, focused their attention on Buddha of Destiny.
Everything in the world would be reformed?
The Age of the Gods would come once again!
It was the Age of the Gods!
Would they get the chance to experience a prosperous era like back in ancient times?
After Buddha of Destiny spoke, his aura actually withered. He became even more feeble, as though his aura was being weakened continuously.
“Buddha Lord,” exclaimed the cultivators of the Western Heavenly World when they saw this scene.
aw
However, Buddha of Destiny behaved as though nothing had happened. He was not bothered by the changes at all. He continued to radiate a solemn Light of Buddha.
“All things on Earth have their destiny. I pried into the future and revealed a secret, so I will face the consequences,” Buddha of Destiny said in a low voice.
“How will the world be reformed?” Dark Sovereign’s voice echoed in space. His goal was to reform the order of the world by allowing the world to be consumed by darkness. When it happened, everything would be reformed and this chaotic era would end.
Now, what Buddha of Destiny prophesied was actually similar to what he imagined. Hence, he was curious to find out what exactly the former envisioned.
“Master is already in such a state. Dark Sovereign, I think we should stop asking,” Donghuang the Great interceded. Dark Sovereign replied nonchalantly, “Since he has pried into the future, it doesn’t make much difference for him to reveal a bit more.”
Buddha of Destiny shook his head and said, “I am ashamed of myself. My power is not strong enough. I could only catch a glimpse of what would happen. As for how the world will be reformed, I have no idea either.”
“Do you really have no clue or are you keeping it a secret from us?” Dark Sovereign continued to pressure Buddha of Destiny.
“Dark Sovereign, as the ruler of darkness, you should stop putting Buddha of Destiny in a tough spot,” Human Ancestor intervened too. He said, “Even though Buddha of Destiny has predicted the changes of the world, I still firmly believe that fate is illusory. Humans are the existences who have control over all order.”
Clearly, Human Ancestor had his doubts about Buddha of Destiny’s words.
“What Human Ancestor said is true. With you controlling the order of the Human Realm, there will not be any new Great Emperors,” someone mocked. The speaker was none other than the Devil Emperor. The crowd was perplexed because of his words. What did he mean?
As long as Human Ancestor oversaw the order of the Human Realm, there would not be any new Great Emperors? What did the Devil Emperor mean by this?
Human Ancestor was not perturbed by the Devil Emperor’s mocking. Instead, he calmly responded, “Devil Emperor, you worry too much. Even though I don’t believe in fate, I believe in history repeating itself. Since there was an Age of the Gods in ancient times, I am not surprised if it makes a comeback in the future. On the contrary, I look forward to it. I also think that the Age of the Gods will soon come again.”
All the cultivators present in this continent were listening to their conversation quietly. They were shocked by the news. The Age of the Gods was something of the ancient past. Since the collapse of the Heavenly Path, there had not been any new Great Emperors. How many people have managed to become Great Emperor since then?
Becoming a Great Emperor was a common goal pursued by all the cultivators in the world. Even though this goal seemed almost impossible, countless cultivators still tried their best and worked hard towards achieving
Now, these colossal figures were discussing the Age of the Gods. Buddha of Destiny also prophesied its reenactment. A new era would come, and it would be a glorious one. This was definitely exciting news.
What role would they play in this new era?
