"May I ask, what exactly is the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" someone inquired.
Qin Hong pointed to a distant planet and said, "If this entire planet believes in Buddhism, we can move them into our sub-dimension, where their True Spirit will reincarnate on this planet again and again, living lifetime after lifetime. After death, they will return to their original body."
Everyone was shocked.
Isn't this exactly like all of us?
The main body is hidden in a sub-dimension, sending a part of the spirit to the 'mortal world' to cultivate. Once successful, it returns to the main body, integrating and enhancing its cultivation.
This system was established by Fu Qingjun's "hair antenna" lineage.
After all, without hair antennas, one cannot remotely control an avatar at a distance.
Yet here, Qin Hong's ambition is immense!
He not only wants to implant these present-day Buddhas, but even any ordinary person, as long as they believe in Buddhism, will have a strand of hair antenna implanted to make full use of its parasitic effect!
"This is a bold move, but not without merit."
Beside him, Li Tusheng, though alarmed, began to speak, "In this way, the common people will not fear the calamities of the powerful. After their death, they can enter the cycle of reincarnation, be reborn as other races, creatures, and cultivate again... because their true body has always been in the Reincarnation Realm and naturally cannot die."
However, the Buddhist method of reincarnation itself has flaws.
For example, your 'Buddha reincarnation form', if cultivated for a lifetime and then it returns to your main body, it indeed enhances cultivation. But if someone identifies you and maliciously attacks, you would lose a painstakingly cultivated spirit, and all efforts would be wasted.
The reincarnation of a powerful being is like Tang Sheng's Flesh that everyone wants to devour; being discovered and consumed is a massive loss.
Li Tusheng stated, "However, how do we, the exalted Buddhas, differ from those common mortals? I believe that although all beings are sacred and equal, distinctions must exist."
"There indeed need to be distinctions."
Qin Hong said, "Those mortals, when reincarnating, must drink 'Meng Po Soup' to forget their memories, but we Buddhas remember our true selves."
"Although mortals do not know who they were in their past lives, they believe in Buddhism, knowing that after death they enter reincarnation, must cultivate virtue, do good deeds, to be reborn into a good race and family in their next life."
"This way, it is a true golden age where everyone strives for virtue out of reverence and fear."
"As long as it is the land of Buddha, everyone can leave their doors unlocked at night, and everyone is benevolent and compassionate, an extreme blissful pure land."
Everyone's spirits were shaken.
This strategy...is excellent!
They saw a genuine golden age of the Cosmic Dynasty, a perfect system, a perfect societal structure and cultivation system, and even a strong defensive capability against external invasions.
This is an ideal nation, a realm of dreams.
"What do you all think, fellow Buddhas?" Qin Hong asked.
"Buddha's words are truly insightful, we should descend into the world, enlighten all beings, and take refuge in our Buddha."
...
The Buddhas below, fully revealed in golden light.
Time sprouted wings and flew; the battle had lasted a hundred and twenty years.
In this land, Buddhism thrived, a group of Buddhist Saints rushed to and fro amidst disasters, shouting with all their might, risking life and death.
With the actions and words of Saints, they traversed the earth, spreading the teachings, saving the world, dying for the common people, all seen by worldly eyes.
They held no selfish desires, only seeking suave and carefree deeds. Some witnessed a fifth-realm Buddhist Buddha self-detonate just to prevent the shockwaves of two sixth-realm warriors from reaching their atmosphere.
"Buddhism preaches that all beings are equal, deities and mortals share the same fate, we naturally are willing to sacrifice one life to save millions."
Buddhism truly prospered.
Whether genuine or false, the eyes of the living beings see clearly.
Many Buddhist disciples began joining in, and even a number of powerful beings were willing to join and cultivate the Buddhist system.
After all, before this, they cultivated Jiaxia's Martial Dao system, which was pure muscle strength, straightforward, with no such mysteries.
And Buddhism, which is non-deadly, secure, and allows one to face death without fear, with no regrets, and an open heart, this appealed to many powerful beings.
The mystical Buddhism began to spread, raising concerns among other civilizations.
"Electromagnetic Buddha, cultivating immeasurable Buddha light?"
"Quantum immeasurable Buddha light?"
"I don't know why, but I have a feeling this civilization appeared abruptly like the Emperor Xia back in the day, faintly with a similar mysterious sense."
Now still weak, this new civilization had few top-tier strong but their teachings were already spreading considerably.
...
Earth.
In the midst of ruins.
They walked among the ruins of the great floods from past times and finally saw a spear floating in mid-air.
Originally, even after cultivating for over a hundred years, they couldn't reach this core location, only through Fu Qingjun's moving it outside allowed them to see it.
"This is Jiaxia's weapon," the Artifact Spirit girl spoke, "We can already return to the distant past, meaning..."
She was extremely excited.
In the next moment, an ancient upper deity slowly stepped out, saying, "Unexpectedly, you found a time anchor item in this era so soon to return to the distant past."
Fu Qingjun glanced at the surrounding strong, then towards the Artifact Spirit girl, "However, you and I cannot go back."
"Why?" The Artifact Spirit girl was dumbfounded.
"Both you and I existed in that era. In one time-space, it doesn't allow two of us to appear at the same time," Fu Qingjun said earnestly.
The Artifact Spirit girl hesitated, wasn't all her effort wasted?
Fu Qingjun looked at her, "But while you can't return, you can tip-off or subtly hint your race, subordinates on this side of the passage, also observing past images."
The Artifact Spirit girl was silent for a moment, ultimately accepting, for controlling from afar was still beneficial.
Fu Qingjun turned to Hongqi and others in front of him,
"I, too, exist in the prehistoric past. Hope you do not disturb too much, or change the historical course early or expose yourselves from the past, or history might undergo massive variables, which would not be to our advantage."
"Remember, there is only one chance. Since one time-space can only have one of us, we cannot go back and forth a second time."
Hongqi and others nodded.
Their greatest asset was knowing history, of course not going to expose themselves as time travelers the moment they arrive; otherwise, there's a chance they'd be captured and dissected by a stronger being.
Crack!
The time passage opened.
They were already prepared, and thus returned to the past.
Amidst a blue sea of stars, ruins lay everywhere.
"Is this prehistory?"
"Be careful, this place is full of ancient gods and demons."
These visitors from Earth across tens of thousands of years cautiously arrived on a life-bearing planet and through the local beings discovered here it was engaged in a rampant war, confirming it was the frontier and checking the time.
Emperor Yu reigned for eleven thousand years.
Meanwhile, Fu Qingjun's master Li Junchen secretly contacted the Artifact Spirit girl, "Eleven thousand years into Emperor Yu's rule, how long until the Great Flood?"
"Seven thousand years," the Artifact Spirit looked at the time.
"Then tell me about the distribution of civilizations here," Li Junchen said.
The Artifact Spirit girl suddenly became awkward, "I don't know."
Li Junchen was taken aback.
"Cough cough cough."
The Artifact Spirit girl knew she couldn't hide any longer, spoke across space, "Sorry, I'm actually just the Master's weapon. How can I, a weapon, pay attention to world affairs? Even the Master himself doesn't pay attention. The Master isn't originally from the Great Xia Celestial Court but is an offering from the eastern Spirit Demon Empire, a being born of various fearful thoughts from countless strong beings, in seclusion for many millennia, only emerging when war broke out."
Li Junchen seemed to have anticipated this, knowing that this Artifact Spirit girl was likely raised in a greenhouse, certainly not the original entity.
"Then, what was your Master, who almost became the Empress?" he asked casually.
"The Master is the eastern Yin Demon, now given the divine title, is Chang Xi of the Taiyin Star." She cautiously said, "If not for foolishly running here to suffer, pursuing Emperor Xia, once one of the empire's strongest overlords."
