Ridiculous.
This thought, like a stone thrown into still water, sent ripples through my crumbling understanding.
Ksitigarbha did not deceive me.
He merely conveyed the Buddha's answer in the Buddha's way.
It was I who clung to an unrealistic fantasy, hoping to find a kindred spirit within this web of "order" and "compassion."
I was wrong.
Within these three realms, I had no equals.
As this thought took root, the meager Buddha nature I had been barely maintaining shattered in an instant.
The golden light of the Buddha clashed violently with the black demonic energy within me, tearing at each other as a chaotic and immense aura erupted uncontrollably from my body, breaking through the restrictions of the Reincarnation Office's archives like a signal fire, rushing straight into the entire You Ming realm.
I was exposed.
"Boom—!"
A tremendous sound echoed.
The door to the Reincarnation Office's archives, forged from ten thousand years of dark iron, was violently smashed open by an overwhelming force from outside!
Blinding golden light mixed with dust surged in through the doorway.
Amidst the light and dust, a familiar figure emerged. Clad in golden armor, he held a Linglong Pagoda in his left hand, with Buddha light swirling around it, exuding an aura that suppressed all things.
It was Tota Tianwang, Li Jing.
Behind him stood Zengzhang, Guang Mu, Duo Wen, and Chi Guo—the Four Heavenly Kings—arrayed in four directions, holding their magical implements with solemn expressions. The gathered Buddha light around them subtly formed a net of encirclement.
Their positions sealed off all possible avenues for my escape.
This was not a capture; it was a hunt.
Li Jing's gaze was cold and merciless, as if looking at a dangerous item that needed to be reclaimed. His voice carried no personal emotion, only the chilling decree of the law that echoed throughout the underworld:
"By the decree of the Buddha: The Demon Fighting Buddha has succumbed to his inner demons and fallen into the path of demons. Capture him immediately and bring him back to Ling Shan Lei Yin Temple to be restrained beneath the Great Buddha Lotus Seat, where he shall listen to Buddhist teachings day and night until his inner demons are completely eradicated!"
First, they aimed to break me down psychologically with a "conviction document," plunging me into an abyss of self-doubt.
Then, with thunderous might, they laid down a heavenly net to physically bind me at my weakest moment.
To pierce the heart, and then to bind the body.
It turned out that everything was part of a meticulously calculated trap.
Dizang Wang... what a clever scheme to pierce the heart.
I looked at Li Jing, who held the Pagoda radiating a powerful force of confinement, and recalled that cold dossier.
I had been betrayed.
At the same time, I had become a hunted prisoner.
I slowly raised my head to gaze at Li Jing.
"Heart demon?" I softly repeated the term, a smirk involuntarily curling at the corners of my mouth.
"If seeking to know 'who I am' is a heart demon..."
My gaze swept over the Four Heavenly Kings, over the Pagoda in Li Jing's hand that shone with a light of "compassion." Finally, my voice grew somber, tinged with a hoarse quality that even I found unfamiliar.
"Then every single one of these deities..."
The demonic power within me roared in defiance under the suppression of the Buddhist light.
"...who does not have a heart demon?"
Li Jing's brows furrowed into a knot.
To him, my retort was undoubtedly irrefutable evidence of "the heart demon ingrained in my bones."
"Obsessed and unrepentant!" he shouted sharply, no longer allowing me any chance for rebuttal. "Four Heavenly Kings, set up the Binding God Diamond Formation! Capture him!"
The Linglong Pagoda in his hand blazed with brilliance as a massive character for "subdue" pressed down from above. The Four Heavenly Kings acted simultaneously; four magical artifacts transformed into four streaks of flowing light, weaving together into an invisible net of magical power that instantly sealed off all my escape routes.
Then let us fight.
If my very existence is a mistake, then let this mistake burn even more fiercely.
