Chapter 941 Kasyapa Returns!
Tathagata looked at Kasyapa and suddenly shook his head.
"Big guy, I see that your strength far exceeds mine. You've probably at least reached the Vajra Bit realm, right?"
"An existence like you should have long understood where your path is. Why did you stop by my side?"
Kasyapa looked at the Buddha Lord and raised his hand.
"Because you were my most respected teacher in my previous life."
"I left my hometown and specially traveled across the myriad worlds to bring my teacher back because my Buddhist followers need my teacher. The human race needs my teacher."
"I'm not the Buddha Lord." Tathagata said again.
Kasyapa was silent.
"Yes, you're not my teacher. My teacher… should have died. You're just an ordinary reincarnation of 'Him'. The current you can't help Buddha or the human race." "He" said after a while.
"No wonder." Tathagata nodded and said with a smile, "I was wondering why those high and mighty figures were so respectful when they saw me. It turns out that my predecessor was so powerful."
"Buddha Lord… That's the Buddhist leader that I've been yearning for a long time."
"I didn't expect him to die." Even though Tathagata said that, there was no pity on his face.
He looked at Kasyapa and said, "In that case, you shouldn't stay by my side. You should do what you need to do."
"Now that the human race is in trouble, although I'm not in the center of the disaster, I know that the human race is in danger."
"Now that the human race is in trouble, although I'm not in the center of the disaster, I know that the human race is in danger."
"I think that an existence like you would not want to see this scene and want to do something, right?"
"If Teacher is still around, he will definitely have the power to save the human race. I will definitely go back with Teacher."
"But Teacher is no longer around. I'm alone and weak. I won't be of much use when I go back. Why don't I stay here and see how Teacher acts?"
Kasyapa looked at Tathagata.
"Why bother?" Tathagata sighed.
"He" turned around and looked at the rising sun not far away. "He" said without looking back,
"You think too highly of the teacher."
"Teacher was born a Buddhist saint. When he grew up, he even founded the human Buddhist Sect and saved the endless suffering of the Saha. Later on, he even became the leader of the human race and guarded the human race for tens of millions of years, protecting billions of humans."
"Teacher is irreplaceable!"
"There was no one like Teacher in the first hundred thousand years, let alone in the next hundred thousand years!"
"You are Buddha, Buddha is you! Teacher, without you, Buddhism is destined to decline in the future. How can I not value Teacher!" Kasyapa looked at Tathagata's back and cried to the Buddha Lord.
"Why not?" Tathagata looked at the morning sun and smiled.
"Silly boy, the Buddha is the Buddha Lord, the morning sun, the breeze, the flowers, the ants, the swans, it's me…"
Tathagata turned to Kasyapa and pressed his palms together.
"And you too." Kasyapa was shocked.
"There's no need to worry that the later generations won't have someone like the Buddha Lord."
"Those who cultivate the Buddhist Dharma advance on the same path."
"Therefore, in the future, not only will there be someone comparable to the Buddha Lord, there might even be someone who surpasses him."
"For example, the famous geniuses of the Human Race and Your Excellency, the Common People's Regal."
After Tathagata finished speaking, he picked up a flower to show Kasyapa.
Kasyapa seemed to have seen the Buddha Lord who smiled without saying anything at the Spirit Mountain Meeting.
Kasyapa put on a relieved smile.
"He" put his hands together and said respectfully, "Kasyapa, I understand. I'll return to the human race soon."
"However, Old… Tathagata, you were born with knowledge and inherited the Buddha Lord's Dharma inheritance. This is a huge karma. Have you thought about what to do in the future?"
"I already have an idea."
Kasyapa didn't say anything else. He bowed respectfully to Tathagata and gradually disappeared into the air.
Tathagata turned around and bowed in a certain direction.
"Please give me one day."
"After I avenge the villagers of Qingtang Village, I will personally visit the human leaders."
With that, Tathagata went down the mountain.
…
The Emptiness City.
Zhou Zhou and company looked at Tathagata's figure descending the mountain in the illusory mirror image in front of them. The Yellow Emperor could not help but smile.
"As expected of the reincarnation of the Buddha Lord. Even though he no longer has the power he once had, his perception is still so sharp. He can actually sense our observation."
"The Law of Karma is best at such methods. I'm not surprised."
Patriarch Lu also smiled.
"Even though the Buddha Lord has died, our human race has also gained a True God-Tier existence like the Common People's Regal. Coupled with the Primordial World left behind by Regal Pangu, we don't have to worry about the safety of the human race for the time being."
"There's no time to lose," the Yellow Emperor said. "First of all, we have to go to the Nirvana Buddha Realm to welcome the Buddha Lord's corporeal body relic. In addition, we have to bring the Nirvana Buddha Realm back. With the Buddha Lord's life and grace, this world will be the supreme holy land for our human Buddhist disciples to cultivate in the future."
"Secondly, we have to bring back this reincarnation of Tathagata."
"'He' is the reincarnation of Tathagata. His aptitude is naturally extremely high. After we awaken his wisdom, the path after the God Spirit will not be too difficult for 'Him'. 'He' will definitely grow at a rapid pace."
"When 'He' fully matures, he might take over the position of Buddha Lord in the future."
When the Yellow Emperor said this, he fell silent for a few seconds before looking at Zhou Zhou.
"Zhou Zhou, how about temporarily bringing Tathagata into your territory?"
"I know that your territory can allow life forms to grow rapidly. With your territory assisting 'Him' in his growth, it will definitely allow 'Him' to grow as fast as possible to take over the position of Buddha Lord."
"When the time comes, let 'Him' leave your territory and take over the position of Buddha Lord."
As the future Buddhist leader of the human race, Tathagata naturally couldn't be the Subject of other Lords. Otherwise, what would the other Buddhist disciples and humans think?
There was a leader above a leader?
One had to know that Regal Pangu only held the real power of the first Speaker. Compared to the second Speaker to the sixth Speaker, his status was not much higher.
Everyone was equal.
Unless one day, a Master God-Tier existence suddenly appeared among the six Speakers. Then, they could separate the highest leadership position.
"No problem."
Zhou Zhou agreed readily.
It was just the identity of a Subject. Wasn't this as much as he wanted?
At this moment, Royegar seemed to have received some news, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"He" immediately said to Yellow Emperor and company,
"Senior Kasyapa just returned!"
When the Yellow Emperor and the others heard this, smiles appeared on their faces again.
"This True God-Tier seed is finally back."
The Yellow Emperor smiled.
"Another top-notch High-Tier Deity-level combat power has returned to our human race!" Bai He also smiled.
Everyone chatted for a while longer. Zhou Zhou said that this portion of his divine power could not last much longer. Then, "His" divine power phantom collapsed into countless starlight spots before disappearing.
