Chapter 512: Chapter 334: At Last a Holy Spirit, Opening High Heaven Once More!

Ten thousand years have passed.

But perhaps, for countless ten thousand years more, she would still be suspended here, until the universe faded into silence.

As for why exactly?

She did not know.

Time passed bit by bit, and she wondered if staring too long had caused illusions.

Zhang Xuelan seemed to see the beautiful central Buddha statue wink at her.

Expressionless, she blinked as well, trying to dispel the illusion—yet when she opened her eyes again, she distinctly saw the Buddha statue stand up!

What’s... happening?

Zhang Xuelan thought numbly, is it the Joyful Ones?

As soon as the thought arose, the vast and massive cavern suddenly fell into deathly silence, and she looked up blankly,

only to see millions of ’Joyful Ones’ at work all suddenly stand up, gaze at the Buddha statue, and open their mouths together:

"You—"

"Who are you!"

The hissing shouts of millions echoed, and a ripple stirred in Zhang Xuelan’s numb eyes.

A chill ran down her spine, and her long stilled emotions surged once more as she looked sharply at the Buddha statue!

No... not the Joyful Ones??

In shock, Zhang Xuelan saw the golden surface of the statue fade away, the mottling also disappeared,

skin began to appear, long black hair, and a monk’s robe—the Buddha statue transformed into a person!

"It’s been many years, hasn’t it."

The Buddha raised his head, looking kindly at the suspended old woman:

"Do you remember me?"

Zhang Xuelan’s lips trembled, and suddenly tears fell like rain.

Ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years...

She suddenly began to struggle fiercely, screaming:

"Escape, hurry and escape—"

But her scream was abruptly cut off.

Escape to where?

Where could she escape to?

The entire universe, all the wills of living beings were connected, all beings were one person, all were Joyful Ones.

There was nowhere to escape to.

"It’s you!" millions of voices shouted, the whole cavern was upheaved, then, more people, more beings!

Countless humans, birds, beasts, insects from Earth, strange creatures from beyond the planets, 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

life from all over the universe,

all rushing towards this planet, they covered the sky, densely packed,

they gathered together, each as a tiny dot, forming a face larger than the solar system!

Then—

Countless lives spoke at the same moment.

"It’s you!"

"Father God, you haven’t devoured it!"

"Where is Father God!"

The roar shattered the sun, Jupiter evaporated, the moon was instantly torn to pieces,

the entire solar system perished, leaving only Earth, and the tremendous roar surged like a Great Tide into this tiny planet in the galaxy!

Then, that’s the end of it.

The Earth was unharmed.

The Buddha raised his head, speaking gently:

"Quiet down."

An expression of terror appeared on the faces of countless beings—or rather, it was the convergence of the wills of all those endless beings,

that vast spiritual entity called the Joyful One, which was now terrified!

He discovered he could not move.

As he gazed at the handsome youth, he was struck by the illusion of staring into a vast sky, while he was just a tiny ant beneath it!

"Impossible... impossible!!"

The Joyful One howled in fear, struggled, wanting to escape, yet nowhere to escape.

With the utterance of ’Quiet down.’

All the brilliant stars in the universe had indeed been extinguished.

The universe had become an absolute void.

"Come, see me."

The handsome youth spoke gently, and the Joyful One’s vast spiritual entity, far surpassing that of the Great Power, was thus extracted,

forcibly compressed to the size of a normal person, and then prostrated!

Zhang Xuelan stared blankly at the prostrating spiritual entity before the handsome youth, her mind collapsed, utterly unable to comprehend the scene before her.

The Joyful One, who had assimilated all life in the universe,

that terrifying being, who wielded the four great powers, that Supreme existence,

was just... defeated?

With a single ’Quiet down’, a single ’Come see me.’

And then it was all over??

Zhang Xuelan’s lips trembled, tears still streaming down.

So, at this moment.

Zhang Fusheng stepped forward, crouching down, carefully studying this compressed spiritual entity, full of marvel:

"Did you inherit the Bodhi Buddha Corpse? To have achieved this level, to form spiritual will comparable to a Great Divine Power User in a lower universe at the Venerate realm..."

"Joyful One, are you?"

Zhang Fusheng reached out and touched the trembling spiritual entity, clicking his tongue in wonder:

"If I weren’t the destiny of this world, I probably wouldn’t be your match... You’re impressive."

The Joyful One wanted to speak, but nothing came out.

He could only tremble.

Zhang Fusheng gently asked:

"So, why did you leave that girl behind alone? For what reason?"

He spoke, pointing, and the old woman’s body began to twist, turning back into the girl she once was from an elderly state.

As for the Joyful One, he remained silent.

"Unwilling to answer?"

Zhang Fusheng still gentle:

"That’s fine, just as you assimilated all beings, once I assimilate you, I can know everything as well."

The Joyful One was horrified, tried to raise his head, tried to speak, but saw only a hand as gentle and warm as jade, reaching into his body.

Then—

All that he was, the four great authorities he wielded, the wills he spent ten thousand years assimilating,

all became a wedding garment.

Became a part of Zhang Fusheng.

However, unlike him, Zhang Fusheng did not choose to wield the wills of all beings, instead, he fragmented a portion of his own soul into countless silken strands,
