Wang Wei stood in the Heavenly Court, his calm eyes seemed to see everything; the past, present, future, and fate of all creatures between Heaven and Earth

He saw the arrival of Tong Ruobing but only sent a message for her to wait in one of the rooms. His eyes seemed to penetrate all the secrets of the world.

'All the pawns are in place, except for one.'

He focused on the Loose Cultivation Alliance. According to his calculations, many factions would pressure the alliance for their God Positions, forcing them to have no choice but to rely on the court.

However, based on his divination, the alliance is more stubborn than anticipated and plans to resist. However, he did not care since he knew they could not resist.

After discovering they had no choice, they will run to him for support.

Wang Wei watched for a few more minutes before closing his eyes.

A few hours later, he opened them, focusing on one of the six Forbidden Lands: the Western Pure Bliss.

Feng Heng, dressed in a black and white robe with a bead necklace, had two items floating before him. The one on the right exuded Taoist Rhyme, while the left one emanated Buddhist Lights.

All his eyes were currently on him, so they immediately recognized the item on the right: Taoism Luck Condensing Artifact. Such a thing should have been tightly locked in the Taiyi Profound Gate.

But now, Feng Heng–a Buddhist Monk–had. People finally realized why the Taiyi Profound Gate kicked Feng Heng out of their sect, even labeling him as a traitor and hunting him down.

Central Continent, Taiyi Profound Gate:

After seeing Feng Heng's appearance, they felt something bad was about to happen–especially after taking into account the Heavenly Emperor's words after the first meeting.

"Summon everyone we can; we must stop whatever he's trying to do.

"

However, as soon as he said these words, a terrible will descended on the sect, pressuring everybody present. They knew this will was simply the result of a gaze, but even the most powerful Insurgent in the gate felt their knees tremble with that gaze.

Luckily, the gaze disappeared after leaving a temporary seal in the shape of an invisible shield; no one could enter or leave the sect in the next few hours.

Western Continent:

Feng Heng felt the time was appropriate, so he began:

"Heaven above, I plead thou to respond to my suffering. Buddhism has suffered a catastrophe, severing our inheritance for generations. Although we have sinned, we also paid for our karma long ago; we have learned from our mistakes and rehabilitated.

"

His voice echoed throughout the entire world, even spreading further.

"I am only asking for a chance to reappear in the world.

"

After saying these words, he activated his Heart of Hope.

Immediately afterward, time seemed to have stopped for everyone watching. Then, a giant, noble, and mysterious eyes manifested in the sky.

True Heavenly Dao

The destruction of Buddhism involved the entire Lower Dimension, so the Myriad Emperor Worlds could not assess such a situation.

Furthermore, even if it could, it would not be under Wang Wei's control since certain aspects of Heaven and Earth–like the Outlaw Trial–are beyond his control.

The eye briefly glanced at Feng Heng before taking something from him. The monk knew it was the merit garnered by Buddhism across many World Communities.

'So much merit? If not for Wang Wei's help, my Heart of Hope might not be sufficient. Even if it was, I probably could only become a low-class Emperor.'

A purple-gold orb descended from the sky, floating before Feng Heng. The world went into an uproar as they could recognize this thing even if they were dead or dreaming: the Heaven Will.

Feng Heng did not hesitate as he absorbed the Heaven Will. A similar protection mechanism as Wang Wei surrounded him, even after True Heavenly Dao's eyes disappeared.

Time passed, and soon, a golden light followed by a lotus of the same color appeared behind Feng Heng. People knew he passed the first barrier–comprehending 20% of his Grand Dao Source.

Soon afterward, a second golden lotus manifested. People were not surprised since Feng Heng was a Heaven Chosen with the Duyi Realm, so it should be relatively easier to cast his Dao Will.

The genuine challenge is the last part. Many people prayed he would fail, only becoming a pseudo-Eternal Emperor. Others watched with indifference. Only a few monks inside the Western Pure Bliss Land prayed their leader would succeed.

After what felt like an eternity, a third lotus appeared behind Feng Heng. Immediately afterward, his visions spread throughout the world and this community. The vision did not stop after spreading to a dozen World Communities, almost on par with Xu Shi's vision.

However, Feng Heng's vision had its specialty. The worlds that Wang Wei secretly spread Buddhism using his Spirit Flower Divine Ability randomly had visions of Buddha, golden lotus, and chants of mantras. No one knew why, so this became a mystery.

Feng Heng's transformation was as swift as Wang Wei, so he soon opened his eyes.

"I am Feng Heng,

" his voice reverberated throughout Heaven and Earth.

"The wielder of Yin and Yang, of Absolute Beginning and Absolute End, and the creator of Tao-Buddhism.

"From now on, I shall take the name Tao-Zen Buddha Emperor.

"

From now on, his name will forever be inscribed in the annals of history. However, Feng Heng was not too excited as he knew things were not finished yet.

He looked at Taoism's Luck Condensing Artifact. He pointed his finger, and the sky changed.

A terrifying chain binding the character for Buddhism appeared between Heaven and Earth. The chain seemed to flow through countless worlds, but this place was the origin.

"The Absolute Beginning Magic,

" muttered Feng Heng with anger and hatred. He exhaled to control his emotions, focusing on the chains. Feng Heng saw a few cracks, and he knew this was the result of years of planning.

If not for his creation of Tao-Buddhism, mixing the luck of these two religions together, such a tiny crack would never have appeared. More importantly, without that crack, Buddhism would never have a chance to appear in the world–even in its current underground manner.

Feng Heng waved his hand to control his Grand Dao Source. He created a Yin-Yang Disk to grind the chain, causing more cracks to appear.

'The Absolute Beginning was definitely a powerful Eternal Supreme,'

he commented while secretly shaking his head. Then, he used the two luck-condensing artifacts to bless his body.

With his newly increased strength, more cracks appeared on the chains. However, the frown on Feng Heng's face did not disappear as he knew the process would still take some time.

He was no longer under the protection of Heavenly Dao, so anything could happen to him during this time. He did not want any variables to appear during such an important event.

Feng Heng quickly made the decision to use extreme means to destroy this magic as soon as possible. However, he soon felt another blessing boosting his strength.

'The Heavenly Court's luck?' he thought without saying much. He increased the power of his Yin-Yang Disk.

Boom!

A few minutes later, the chain exploded into trillions of motes of lights, freeing the Buddhist Character. A mysterious wave traveled to every world in the Lower Dimension, subtly changing.

Tears dropped from Feng Heng's eyes as he watched everything. He knew what had happened: From now on, Buddhism can show up in the open without having to hide like rats.

They were free.

"Brothers, sisters, masters, everyone, do you see it?

" muttered Feng Heng, not hiding his sadness.

"I've done it. I have succeeded. Our inheritance is no longer cut off.

"

Many memories flashed in his mind. He spent countless eras drifting in the world, lost in the drug known as loneliness. Feng Heng felt lost and without any purpose, but other people forced a purpose on him.

So, he had to move forward. He had to continue his mission–even in times when he felt there was no hope and wished to end

everything.

Everything was for this day.

Feng Heng exhaled to reign in his emotions. Now that he has revived Buddhism, his next step is to ensure its prosperity.

He looked at the Western Pure Bliss Land and waved his hand.

Immediately afterward, golden light shone over the Western Continent. The place soon became a world of its own, with a plaque at the entrance with a name engraved on it.

"Today, I, the Tao-Zen Buddha Emperor, established the Western Bliss Sect. I invite Fellow Daoists from all over the world to the opening ceremony.

"

Feng Heng's next step was to select disciples and develop his sect.

So, he planned to invite all the Emperor Lineages to the ceremony, deciding to send the invitation to the Heavenly Emperor personally.

This method is a way to display power and the inheritance of Buddhism while also acquiring a bunch of resources from different factions in the form of gifts.

In the current situation, Buddhism will require all the help necessary for its revival.
