Great Weitian Dragon: "Fellow Buddhas? Amitabha, could this place be the Holy Land of the Xitian Spirit Mountain?"

Demon King: "Who else but a Buddha could silently breach the seals of the Buddhas and invade my consciousness?"

Demon King: "Amitabha, Buddha, this little demon has seen the error of my ways, I realize what I did wrong, and have now grasped the true essence of truth, goodness, and beauty. I beg you to let me out.

"I truly admit my faults and have mended my ways. From now on, I wish to help others and be a good demon who embodies truth, goodness, and beauty!"

「World of Journey to the West.」

Within the cave sealed by Tathagata, Sun Wukong clasped his hands together, chanting Amitabha with an increasingly devout expression on his face.

Great Weitian Dragon: "Since this is the sacred land of my Buddha's spirit mountain, then I, Fahai, would like to request the enlightened advice of the Buddhas.

"Was I wrong to kill demons?"

In the Green Snake World, the youthful-looking Fahai, watching the Green and White Snakes helping a woman give birth, felt his moral compass waver once more.

Could there be good and evil among demons? Aren't all demons worthy of death?

Previously, he had killed a Spider Demon, but upon seeing the prayer beads hanging from a tree branch, he realized that the Spider Demon was neither a braggart nor an indiscriminate killer.

At that moment, his moral scale wavered for the first time. There is a distinction between good and bad demons; should harmless demons also be cut down without exception?

Now, seeing the Green and White Snakes aiding in childbirth, his belief that "all demons should be killed" wavered once again.

It was just at this time that he joined the chat group, and so he posed the question in the group.

Demon King: "Of course, it is not wrong to kill demons. However, a demon like me acknowledges their faults and strives to do good. Such a demon, harmless to humans and animals, deserves a chance to reform.

"Buddha, I truly acknowledge my mistakes. Please let me out. It has been five hundred years, a full five hundred years!"

Tushan's Second Master: "Hey, you two newbies, didn't Sister Bi tell you to read the group files? This place isn't the Xitian Heavenly Spirit Mountain, nor are there any Buddhas here, only the great God of Hongmeng."

Demon King: "The Buddha says: 'The Buddha is in one's heart.' Since you have appeared within my heart, how could you not be Buddhas?"

Sun Wukong curled his lip. Are they trying to test me? No way. In this world, apart from Tathagata, who could enter my heart? This must be Tathagata's little trick to test me.

Demon King: "Buddha, I really do realize my wrongs. I have taken every teaching of yours to heart. Please let me out!"

Hongmeng observed the messages from the two new members in the group and understood their identities.

The Demon King was Sun Wukong from the World of Journey to the West. Despite his peaceful demeanor in the group now, appearing to be a good demon, inside he was cruel and malicious.

After being sealed by Tathagata, he had grown even more cunning.

His current performance aimed to show that he had suddenly realized his mistakes to deceive Tathagata into releasing him.

Once he got out, his violent and ferocious nature would reveal itself.

This world was not particularly strong, but it was not weak either, with Tathagata and the gods of the Heavenly Court present.

And the Great Weitian Dragon was Fahai from the Green Snake World.

This world, too, was filled with innumerable divine beings, and the two worlds seemed to be roughly on the same level.

Upper God's Dog Son: "@Demon King, Sun Wukong, stop pretending. Your heart is cunning and fierce. Saying you have an epiphany is just a deception; we have no Buddha here, so there's no need for your act!"

Demon King: "Buddha, I truly understand my wrongs. Every word I say comes from the heart. I have truly had an epiphany..."

This kind of trickery? I'm not falling for it, Sun Wukong scoffed internally.

Great Weitian Dragon: "@God of Hongmeng, Buddha, I would like to ask: Is it wrong to kill demons? Do demons differ between good and evil? Should demons be given a chance to reform?

"But the human heart is fickle, and so are the hearts of demons. How can we be sure if a demon is good or evil? How can we discern whether a demon has truly changed for the better? And how can we be certain that a reformed demon won't harm people again?"

Huashan Sect Master: "Holy shit, are all newbies this intense?"

The Descendant of the Great Yan Royal Family: "Shocking!"

Seeing Fahai directly tag Hongmeng, numerous members of the group were stunned.

Frankly speaking, none of them dared to directly tag Hongmeng.

In their minds, the God of Hongmeng was a supremely great being, not to be casually disturbed.

However, Fahai was unaware of this etiquette. Moreover, he had been misled by Sun Wukong into believing this was the Mount Ling Holy Land. With his troubled heart eager for answers, he directly tagged the group owner.

In his eyes, the group owner must be the Buddha.

Although he didn't know why the Buddha would use such a name, he had no time to ponder further, because not only was the problem of demons troubling him, a lustful thought had also emerged in his mind.

He had just witnessed a scene of a woman giving birth.

For the first time in his life, seeing a woman's enticing body, his pure soul was struck by an unprecedentedly strong impact.

That arousing image stayed in his mind, impossible to erase or dispel.

Damn it! That bald donkey, Sun Wukong thought, seeing Fahai's question. He was furious, swearing viciously, wishing he could smash Fahai's head with his staff. Isn't this undermining me? Every one of Fahai's questions seems aimed at me!

Hongmeng saw Fahai tag him, and a thought crossed his mind.

The questions posed by Fahai were not easily answered.

The human heart is unpredictable.

The same goes for the heart of a demon.

However, to deceive someone, all you need to give is a vague concept and let them comprehend it on their own, he mused.

God of Hongmeng: "@Great Weitian Dragon, right and wrong are matters of the heart. If you think you are wrong, then you are wrong. If you think you're right, then you are right."

God of Hongmeng: "@Demon King, it's not hard for you to leave the sealed cave. Read the group file, recite my "Meditation Method," and Divine Power will protect you, making leaving the seal as easy as turning your palm."

Soul Hall Saint Girl: "My respects to our God!"

Upper God's Dog Son: "My respects to our God!"

The Lord of Great Qin: "My respects to our God!"

…

Great Weitian Dragon: "Thank you, Buddha, for clearing up my confusion."

In the Green Snake World, Fahai returned to Jinshan Temple, deep in thought.

Right and wrong are matters of the heart...

Fahai didn't go to read the group file; his mind was full of Hongmeng's words.

The more he delved into understanding them, the more he perceived their profound depth, containing supreme Buddhist principles.

Demon King: "Thank you, Buddha. I will now recite the "Meditation Method.""

In the World of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong didn't take in a word of the other stuff, only focusing on the key point that reciting the "Meditation Method" would allow him to leave.

He immediately downloaded the "Meditation Method."

It's just an ordinary Buddhist scripture, but why would the Buddha use the name God of Hongmeng? Sun Wukong was puzzled. Forget it. Who cares, as long as I can get out!

Sun Wukong didn't think any further. Tathagata and the others must have too much time on their hands, creating some chat group and even claiming not to be the Buddha. They really know how to play around!

Sun Wukong began to recite the "Meditation Method." As the last word fell, he felt his consciousness tremble, seeing a gray, chaotic fog.

In the Chaos, an indescribable great existence stood.

He seemed like the eternal Path, and also like the parent of the universe, heaven, earth, and all things.

The Endless Universe evolved around him.

Countless gods, demons, and Buddhas bowed in worship.

To see him was like witnessing the Path itself.

Is this the God of Hongmeng? King Wukong the King of Demons felt a great turmoil in his heart; at this moment, he finally believed that the God of Hongmeng was not Tathagata Buddha.

Because Tathagata Buddha and countless other Buddhas were kneeling before the God of Hongmeng.

And this Tathagata was infinitely more powerful than the Tathagata who had sealed him.

The Tathagata who sealed him wasn't even worthy to carry the shoes of the God of Hongmeng.

At that moment, the eyes of the God of Hongmeng turned toward him.

BOOM.

Sun Wukong's spirit suffered an unparalleled shock, and his Primordial Spirit tottered, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment.

At that moment, he saw the eyes of the God of Hongmeng.

In those eyes, he saw universes as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, spanning all of space and time; he saw the past, present, and future of the cosmos.

He saw the Sovereign of the Path, who spanned the Endless Universe and all of space-time.

His Primordial Spirit felt as if it were about to explode.

He suddenly awoke.

"WHEW!"

Sun Wukong gasped for air, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.

However, the next moment, he was stunned.

My strength has actually improved?

Sun Wukong's eyes widened in disbelief.
