Chapter 1069 A World Without Buddha

Before the heliocentric theory was born, people assumed that the earth was the center of the known world, because people could only recognize the parts they could recognize, and images that did not exist or were in memory could not trigger imagination.

So, what does the universe look like in the ‘mind’?

Is the universe centered on the Earth? After all, everyone thinks that the earth is the center, so in the 'heart', the universe should conform to the 'heart's' understanding.

This comes to another level.

According to Buddhism, although you think the earth is the center of the universe, there are other "hearts" in this world. Many aliens with advanced technology believe that the earth is not the center of the universe.

Moreover, it is obvious that these technologically advanced aliens are much more numerous, and their cognition is more accurate and reasonable. Therefore, under the intersection of many "hearts", a "cosmic consensus" is reached.

This consensus will not be shaken by the stubbornness or ignorance of a few "hearts".

Thus, the ‘objective’ that can be observed also appears.

Under the observation of the "heart", the objective reality is determined, and the subjectivity of many observers jointly determines an objective reality.

This objective reality is the ‘universe’.

This is ‘origination’.

In the eyes of the devil, especially the eyes of the devil lineage, it is obvious...the earth should be the center of the universe, and it is now.

If it doesn't happen in the future, it won't happen because it's just a dream. The reason why it is like this depends entirely on how I think.

So, what is he like to the Demon Prince?

Demon Prince...

In fact, it is a typical magic way.

For him, the world itself is what he 'thinks' it exists, so he can resist death, he can overcome pain, he can endure all torture, and even at the fourth level, he can withstand the blackness of the second level. The reward of karma.

His will determines the world, even now.

He wants to exterminate the devil.

?

He wanted to take revenge on the demon.

?

He wants...he wants...

What do you want?

During the painful process of seizing the body, the Demon Prince suddenly fell into a trance.

It was as if this little world had been enchanted and fell into a sleepless dream.

When he slipped out of his inner space again, he suddenly realized something.

My whole life, I have been staring at the ‘mission goal’.

He only has the 'mission goal' in his mind.

In the beginning, he wanted to survive, so he dragged his crippled body, fought, struggled, and used all kinds of ugly and weak methods to reach the seventh level in a state of devastation.

After that, he got the Earth Mother Daoyun, which was the bamboo stick he carried with him anytime and anywhere, which made up for his shortcomings and started his own 'Overlord Daoji'.

At first he thought it was funny.

When he was young, was his ugly appearance of struggling for survival and his embarrassment rolling on the ground worthy of the word 'overlord'?

But the world doesn’t know, they haven’t seen it.

They could only see the invincible Demon Prince, see him challenge the limits of the world's cultivation, see him crush all the way, and see his road to becoming the king.

But only the Demon Prince himself knows that he is not an overlord, and what he has been pursuing... is not an overlord at all.

He has never stood up straight since he was born, so in fact the Demon Prince has no idea how to be a human being.

He just shows off his power, pursues his own invincibility, and pursues crazily to become a human being.

As a result, it failed because of Li Qi.

This then led to an even crazier pursuit, and the feeling that I could accomplish greater things in one go.

What he pursues is actually neither the devil nor the demon slayer.

The Demon Prince felt the 'pain' he endured.

Seizing Taiyi from one's body is really too painful, millions of times more painful than the retribution of black karma.

He relied entirely on his inertial stubbornness to persevere, just as in the past countless years, he relied on this stubbornness to overcome endless suffering and reach this point today.

His stubbornness and paranoia helped him fulfill every desire and every 'mission goal'.

The pain was like a flood up to his neck, spreading his powerlessness and despair for countless years, but at the same time, he was screaming for help and hope.

That's why he ended up like this.

After enduring endless pain and everything on the journey, what do you get in the end?

Looking back, the Demon Prince actually envied Li Qi.

The Demon Prince's way can only protect himself who is in danger.

As for Li Qi, his eyes kept looking into the distance.

The Demon Prince sighed.

Then, he gave up seizing Taiyi.

The Demon Prince retreated.

The Demon Prince put aside his paranoia.

His cultivation began to collapse.

I have said before that the Demon Prince actually... only has the fourth level. Starting from the third level, all his power comes from his 'heart', and his heart is his foundation.

An inner spirit, a high-level stubbornness and self-reliance. This kind of spirit, this stubbornness and self-reliance and pride are not only characteristics of his character. They not only work within himself, but can also affect the external world. .

As long as his heart is not corrupt, then the Demon Prince is truly a second-grade one.

But as soon as he starts to doubt himself, the foundation will collapse.

He let it go, so... his cultivation level regressed to the third rank, and then the fourth rank.

He was no longer qualified to participate in such a battle.

This made the demon who was entangled with Wu Xian in the distance frown.

"Shang Fan——"

Wu Xian's countless powers suddenly jumped up, and with a soft and flexible but terrified posture, they drew a golden light, breaking the sleeping darkness and demonic energy.

"Do you still have time to call Shang Fan? Or look at me first." He smiled.

The Demon Prince woke up, but gave up the body of Taiyi. Although the result was that his own foundation collapsed, the Demon Prince who lost his heart... was nothing.

But for Wu Xian, this was a good thing.

On the battlefield of the first rank, the demons were still entangled with many first rankers, and the decisive result of losing Taiyi's body would greatly delay the end of the world.

This made the demon angry.

But he did not lose his temper, but said: "Wu Xian... If it's just like this, it's not enough."

Wu Xian did not reply.

We will know if it is enough if we continue.

Anyway, with him here, the demons will not think of going anywhere else.

The demons are waiting for an opportunity to move. As they have said before, they all have many back-ups.

And at the same time...

The prince of demons is no longer paranoid.

He let it go.

The prince of demons who let it go suddenly saw a familiar person appear in front of him.

A familiar person appeared in front of the prince of demons whose cultivation was almost completely collapsed.

His eyes were like a sarira bird, his hands were longer than his knees, and he exuded a gentle Buddha light.

"I have seen you." The prince of demons was a little weak, but his tone was still so indifferent.

Perhaps, this indifference has become a kind of "habit" of his. Even if he does not intend to maintain this indifference now, he still speaks in this tone subconsciously.

"Yes, a long time ago, I lost to you before." Huaguang Buddha said so.

That's right, the one who appeared in front of him was Huaguang Buddha.

However, Huaguang Buddha is not Shariputra, or... Shariputra is only a small part of him.

In the endless reincarnation from the past to the future, the part called Shariputra is just a very small memory of Huaguang Buddha.

The Demon Prince said softly: "Winning or losing doesn't matter anymore. My overlord foundation has been broken, and my determination to win has disappeared. What are you doing here now?"

"Shang Fan, you haven't let go yet." Huaguang Buddha said so.

"My foundation has collapsed, and now only the fourth level is left. I can't even maintain my reality, because even I don't believe that my heart can exist for a long time in the turbulent reality. Even so, I haven't let go?" The Demon Prince asked.

"No, because... if you let go, you won't lose anything." Huaguang Buddha said softly.

If you let go, you won't lose anything.

This made the Demon Prince stunned for a moment.

Does he care?

Of course he cares.

It's just that the Demon Prince is tired. It's too tiring and painful to take over Taiyi's body.

He is so tired and in so much pain. What is the reason for going through endless disasters?

He felt that the demons were not worthy of his exhaustion.

So he gave up and chose not to bet a thousand times or ten thousand times. Taking a step back, even if he died, there was still a lot to be done.

But Hua Guang Buddha said that he had not let go.

What did he not let go of?

The demon prince did not know, so he sat up: "What else have I not let go of?"

Hua Guang Buddha replied: "You have not let go, Shang Fan."

"That is not letting go, just 'forget it'."

This made the demon prince's heart stab.

Yes.

That is not 'letting go'.

That is 'forget it'.

"The obsession you really want to let go of is not the demons, but the obsession to interpret this world. Why bother? Why do you have to let yourself carry this world?" Hua Guang Buddha said.

This made the demon prince fall into deep thought.

Carry the world on your own?

Yes, in a sense, this is not wrong.

Because, wanting to interpret the whole world with your own heart, wanting to change the whole world with your own obsession, isn't this 'carrying' the world?

Think about it, if what the demon said is true, this world was born from the demon's fantasy, or... born from the demon prince's fantasy, then all these things, all of these things, are essentially the "cause" of the world caused by a certain person's thoughts.

Can a person take on the entire world and become the cause of everything?

If he becomes, then this person will naturally take on everything.

Just like what the demon and the demon prince did.

They think that this world is meaningless except for themselves, and only their own feelings are meaningful in this world.

If this world is a fantasy of their own.

Then, how can this world be let go?

The demon prince was stunned.

Perhaps, the other party is right.

Why, do you have to think... these obsessions are the reason for the existence of the world?

In fact, he doesn't need to be stubborn.

Don't be paranoid, the real letting go is not like this.

Only when you wake up from the dream can you let go.

The demon prince sighed, and his eyes suddenly became dazed.

Awakening from a big dream.

Once you give up using your own spirit to interpret the entire universe, you no longer have to carry the entire universe on your shoulders.

At this moment, the Demon Prince finally ‘let it go’.

This is unimaginable.

The whole universe knows how heavy the Demon Prince’s obsession is.

Even death cannot take him away, this obsession has made him invincible for so long.

It can be said that this obsession is the reason for his existence.

But no matter what, he still let it go.

In just a moment, the Demon Prince immediately felt that… the Buddhist teachings in his mind, those recorded Tripitaka, the Great Tripitaka, began to shine.

At this time… a ray of golden light shone into his head.

The Humane Master appeared.

The first rank that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

Moreover, he came with all the heritage of the entire Buddhist sect.

The Humane Master, his name is ‘Dan’, and he has a more famous title.

Zhou Gong.

The moment the Humane Master appeared, the trouble demon also appeared.

So they did not delay for too long, just a moment, the Humane Master abandoned the Buddhist heritage collected by humanity here, including the complete Great Tripitaka and all the divine will sorted out by humanity.

Then, the two first-rank masters fell into a fight again, but they had disappeared here.

The scriptures that Prince Mo had collected in the human world with the help of the chaos caused by the death of the Human Emperor were all without divine will.

And at this moment, these divine wills were all completed.

Prince Mo read the divine will in it, as if he felt the words of the Buddha in it.

Shang Fan recalled some words that the Buddha Tathagata had said to him many years ago before he passed away.

Thinking of that, he recited softly: "Thus I have heard."

Thus I have heard.

This is the true words of the Buddha that Shang Fan heard.

Huaguang Buddha immediately put his hands together and paid homage to the Buddha.

"Thus I have heard, the Buddha passed away, I will become a Buddha, and with this pure faith and good roots, I will become a Pratyekabuddha in the future world after the Buddha's death, and my name will be the Lord of Compassion and Mercy."

Prince Mo gave up the burden of the world he had to bear, and his heart was free at this moment.

He finally let go of his obsession and let go of the "heart", which is one of the heaviest in the universe.

So, he became a Buddha on the spot.

Freedom, freedom.

The Buddha's fruition is great wisdom and great freedom.

Moreover, this great wisdom and great freedom can make him free from the cause of suffering in the network of cause and effect.

The so-called freedom is that people achieve great wisdom after enlightenment and are free from all causes of suffering.

What is the cause of suffering?

All external things are caused by causes, and then the causes produce results, and the results become the next causes, one by one, in a cycle, forming a cause-and-effect network that covers the entire world.

The suffering of old age, illness, death, and all kinds of unsatisfactory things all have previous causes.

Not being confused by greed, anger, and ignorance, not being bound by various causes and effects, not being entangled by doubts, fear, anger and other emotions in the heart, acting according to the original heart, free from various causes of suffering, and not suffering from various results of suffering, is called great freedom.

Huaguang Buddha is happy! !

Yes, that's it.

Pratyekabuddha is a person who is born in a world without Buddha and becomes enlightened alone.

In other words, when Shangfan became a Pratyekabuddha, it means... this is a world without Buddha.

Finally, there is no Buddha in the world.

The great wish of the Buddha has finally taken the first step. (End of this chapter)
