#2068 - The helplessness of Tathagata Buddha

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, after Chu Hao's several hours of narration, he finally finished recounting the entire process in detail.

“That's how it is!”

Chu Hao said to the Jade Emperor after recounting the entire process.

During Chu Hao's narration, the Tathagata Buddha didn't utter a single word of refutation because he knew it wasn't necessary.

The Tathagata Buddha was actually hoping that Chu Hao would finish quickly so he could leave this place as soon as possible; being here was a pure waste of time.

“Buddha, do you have any evidence that Chu Hao colluded with the demon race?”

The Jade Emperor pretended to ponder for a moment and asked the Tathagata Buddha.

“No!”

The Tathagata Buddha immediately shook his head; Chu Hao had already asked this question before.

“Since there is no evidence, then it is slander. Chu Hao is the Three Realms Prison God of our Heavenly Court. Slandering him is equivalent to damaging the dignity of the Heavenly Court. Buddha, you should apologize to Chu Hao and guarantee not to commit similar errors again.”

The Jade Emperor announced his verdict.

In fact, this result was not beyond the Tathagata Buddha's expectations. The Jade Emperor would naturally help Chu Hao, which was also why the Tathagata Buddha didn't want to come with Chu Hao to see the Jade Emperor.

“This… I was too rash and wronged Chu Hao!”

The Tathagata Buddha knew that if he didn't apologize to Chu Hao, Chu Hao and the Jade Emperor probably wouldn't let it go.

He could only lower his head and apologize to Chu Hao, which was naturally an extremely embarrassing thing for him.

“Forget it. Since the Buddha apologized, then I will gladly accept it.”

Chu Hao was quite satisfied with this result.

This matter was finally settled, and the Tathagata Buddha couldn't wait to leave.

“I have important matters to attend to in the Western Paradise, farewell!”

After the Tathagata Buddha finished speaking, he walked out of the Hall of Universal Brightness and returned to the Western Paradise.

Seeing the Tathagata Buddha leave, the Jade Emperor laughed and asked Chu Hao in a low voice.

“How is the matter progressing?”

“Everything is under control.”

Chu Hao nodded to the Jade Emperor and said with great confidence.

“It seems that the Tathagata Buddha will receive a big surprise when he returns to the Western Paradise.”

The Jade Emperor was so proud that he lost his composure. Realizing his slip, he quickly put away his smile.

The Tathagata Buddha's speed was naturally not slow, and he quickly returned to Mount Meru, but as soon as he landed on Mount Meru, he was stunned.

“What's going on? Did Mount Meru have an earthquake?”

Looking at the appearance of Mount Meru, the entire Mount Meru looked as if it had been through an earthquake, and the Thunderclap Temple was completely unrecognizable.

“Buddha, you've finally returned.”

At this time, Dipankara Buddha led the core elites of the Western Paradise towards the Tathagata Buddha, revealing a look of dejection as they walked.

“What exactly happened?”

The Tathagata Buddha asked Dipankara Buddha and the others.

“Buddha, our Mount Meru was looted by the demon race. The entire Mount Meru was ravaged, and our monks suffered heavy casualties.”

Dipankara Buddha shook his head and sighed as he replied to the Tathagata Buddha.

“The demon race? Would the demon race have such powerful strength?”

Dipankara Buddha and the elite core members of the Western Paradise told the Tathagata Buddha the entire process of the matter in detail.

“If the Buddha were here, the demon race would certainly not dare to offend.”

“Yes, I wonder where the Buddha went?”

“What important matter did the Buddha go to handle?”

Faced with the inquiries from Dipankara Buddha and the others, the Tathagata Buddha didn't know how to answer.

He couldn't possibly say that he went to question Chu Hao and ended up having to apologize to Chu Hao, would he still have any face left?

“I was in the Heavenly Court discussing some important matters with the Jade Emperor.”

The Tathagata Buddha could only answer perfunctorily.

“Our Western Paradise has been looted repeatedly, which has a very negative impact on our authority, and the foundation of our Western Paradise has basically been lost.”

Dipankara Buddha had already calculated the losses of this time with the people of the Western Paradise.

The losses this time were quite heavy. There were quite a few personnel losses, but most of them were ordinary disciples and monks, which wasn't a big deal.

The most important thing was the loss of treasures and property. The other party came for this, so naturally, they looted everything clean.

The Western Paradise now has very few treasures and properties left, and the entire Mount Meru needs to be rebuilt again.

“Damn Chu Hao!”

Hearing this situation, the Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but curse Chu Hao.

He was too embarrassed to say that he had already run up a debt outside and signed an IOU to Chu Hao.

The Tathagata Buddha didn't know that all of this was arranged by Chu Hao, even if he knew, he couldn't do anything because he had no evidence.

“Immediately start rebuilding, our Western Paradise needs some recovery.”

The Tathagata Buddha was silent for a moment and instructed everyone.

The Western Paradise suffered a lot of losses in terms of both personnel and property this time, and it was necessary to carry out some recovery.

It's just that the Tathagata wanted the Western Paradise to recuperate and recover, but the current situation didn't allow them to do so.

“Buddha, there is another important situation.”

Someone reported to the Tathagata Buddha.

“Speak!”

The Tathagata Buddha's face was already very gloomy, and he was afraid of hearing any more bad news.

But naturally, what he feared would come, and as soon as the other party opened his mouth, the Tathagata Buddha's face became even gloomier.

“The situation in Xiniu Hezhou is a bit unstable now.”

Xiniu Hezhou is the directly administered area of the Western Paradise, which is their territory.

Previously, the Western Paradise controlled the entire Xiniu Hezhou with Buddhism. With the strict monitoring and management of the Western Paradise, the situation in the entire Xiniu Hezhou was considered very stable.

But as Chu Hao and Tang Seng and his group came all the way west, destroying France, Fengxian County, etc., now there is also Yuhua Prefecture.

These regions together occupy a considerable area in the entire Xiniu Hezhou. Originally, these countries and regions were only independent, equivalent to each governing their own affairs.

But Chu Hao has formed them into a connection, of course, this is not Chu Hao's intention, but the power of faith.

The people of France believe in the Prison God and have changed their country name to Prison God Country.

Fengxian County has been repeatedly saved by Chu Hao, and their worship of the Prison God is almost fanatical.

After the people of the Yuhua Prefecture Prison God Temple helped them remove the demons and ghosts, their faith in the Prison God has also been established.

France, Fengxian County, Yuhua Prefecture and other regions have formed a circle based on faith in the Prison God.

The rest of Xiniu Hezhou still believes in Western Paradise Buddhism, which has formed a conflict, a conflict of faith.

“Now more and more people believe in the Prison God, which has seriously affected the stability of the entire Xiniu Hezhou. The most affected is Tianzhu Country.”

The subordinate continued to report to the Tathagata Buddha.

The conflict of faith is a big problem. A battle of two faiths has begun to appear in Xiniu Hezhou, which is a huge hidden danger for the Western Paradise.
