Chapter 891: The Hidden Throne of Eternity

The Land of the Buddha.

The Buddha wore a gloomy expression, his heart ablaze with intense fury. In this battle, he had suffered a significant defeat. A mere human at the Zun Saint realm had actually driven him into retreat.

This was an outrageous humiliation, one that could not even be washed away with the enemy’s blood.

“Humbly welcoming the Buddha’s return.”

The Buddhas and Worldly Buddhas knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully to greet the Buddha’s return. In the hearts of these mighty beings, the Buddha was the supreme existence, the very foundation of their faith.

However, to those senior Buddha Kings who had long belonged to the Buddha race, they could sense the raging anger burning within the Buddha.

It seemed like he had failed.

Yet considering the strength of that youngster Sakyamuni, how could he possibly escape from the Buddha’s grasp? There must be a major reason behind it.

“Buddha, on this journey, that criminal of the human race must surely have been subdued,” one of the Buddha Kings outwardly showed reverence, but inwardly he was secretly delighted.

But at that very moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically. Sitting atop the lotus throne, the Buddha slightly clenched his fingers, and the King Buddha’s inner power violently surged out of control.

Bang!

Without any warning, the King Buddha exploded instantly, turning into dust.

Seeing this scene unfold before them, the other Buddha Kings felt deep grief and anger but were utterly powerless to intervene.

“The holy King Buddha, his Buddha heart has been invaded by evil forces. We must help him escape suffering, reincarnate sooner, and ascend to Buddha once again,” the Buddha said calmly, as if speaking of an ordinary matter.

“May the Buddha be merciful.”

The Buddhas murmured in gratitude.

At this moment, the Buddha’s heart burned with rage. How could he not understand the hidden meaning behind the King Buddha’s words? How could he tolerate such audacity?

At this moment, the Buddha left this place and appeared in an endless void.

This matter today must be resolved. That human dared to act so brazenly—only death awaited.

At this moment, the Buddha raised one finger, sending a ray of golden light piercing into the void, transcending the endless river of time.

“Ancestor of the Star Race, Ancestor of the Night Demon Race, please grant this Buddha an audience,” the Buddha murmured. His voice transformed into sacred Buddhist script, floating into the void.

Suddenly, an ocean of galaxies appeared in the endless void. This galaxy sea was vast and boundless, glittering with countless stars. On an ancient crimson star deep within the Milky Way stood a lone figure.

“Buddha, what business do you have?”

“Ancestor of the Star Race, let us wait for the Ancestor of the Night Demon Race to arrive before we discuss further,” the Buddha replied.

As soon as the Buddha finished speaking, a pitch-black rainbow surged across the sky from the distant horizon. This black rainbow was the darkest existence in the world, darker than anything else.

Within that black rainbow, a pair of domineering eyes flickered. As it descended, the rainbow retracted, and a figure stepped forth.

“Buddha, what is it?” The Night Demon Ancestor spoke coldly, his eyes pitch-black. Anyone who met his gaze would be swallowed by endless darkness.

“Two Emperors, this Buddha seeks your aid in capturing a human,” the Buddha said.

In the Buddha’s eyes, that human was somewhat strange, but dealing with him hardly required calling upon these two Emperors. There was another, more important matter to discuss.

“Hmph!” The Star Ancestor laughed. “Buddha, you summoned us here, but surely not just for this, right? If it’s only about a mere human, why would we three need to act together? Could he possibly be a transcendent being?”

“Of course not. That human is insignificant. I heard that the Great Sage of the Monkey Race and Lady娲 of the Snake Race, along with other Emperors, secretly met and formed an alliance. As this era approaches its end, the opportunity for true eternity is fleeting. Without unity, there is practically no hope,” explained the Buddha.

“Is that so?” The Night Demon Ancestor and the Star Ancestor exchanged glances. Though they spoke like this, they already understood each other’s thoughts.

“Of course. Do you think this Buddha would lie?” the Buddha said.

The ancient races, with their three thousand titans, were watching hungrily, yet their hearts were not united. The Emperors of the Great Thousand Races were the same—each had their own agenda.

The path to true eternity was never easy to attain.

In the previous era, all perished and fell into slumber. Now that they had awakened once more, it was time to fight for supremacy again.

…

The Buddha spoke at length with the two Emperors. But for the Buddha race, the premise of everything was to ask for their help in suppressing that detestable human.

For the Buddha, the events of today were intolerable.

As the ruler of countless stars, the Star Ancestor could easily locate a single human in this vast world.

…

“Where exactly are we now?” Sakyamuni, following Lin Fan out of the void, looked around in confusion at the unfamiliar surroundings.

“How should I know?” Lin Fan shook his head. The world had changed too much. Along the way, Lin Fan had already sensed several different auras.

These auras belonged to various races, all gathered in groups. He had encountered many once-dominant ancient races, though now their power had greatly diminished.

Just moments ago, Lin Fan had already noticed several ancient races being slaughtered by the Great Thousand Races.

Even more shocking was that the strength of the Great Thousand Races had skyrocketed, almost unbelievable.

Seventh-stage cultivators were like dogs, eighth-stage ones roamed the streets, ninth-stage cultivators were common, and tenth-stage ones were not rare at all.

Such changes were too drastic. Lin Fan began to feel that this world was no longer the one he had once known.

Indeed, as Lin Fan thought, the changes were immense. Compared to the past and present, the difference was like heaven and earth—completely incomparable.

The ten thousand worlds had merged, and the laws of heaven had advanced to a higher level.

In the past, reaching the tenth stage of the Divine Heaven Position was extremely difficult, but now, as long as one had the right opportunity, everything was possible.

“The world has changed greatly. During these years of fleeing, I passed through many places. Sects were everywhere, and the Great Thousand Races mingled together, forming a single sect. But now, things are clearly divided. Each race has its own sect, and outsiders are not accepted.”

“This change is indeed enormous.”

Sakyamuni sighed, recalling everything he had experienced during this time.

Now, the ancient races were no longer a problem for the Great Thousand Races. The young prodigies had ample room to grow, and their cultivation levels soared beyond control.

Lin Fan said nothing. This situation had already been expected.

At that moment, a commotion arose ahead.

When Lin Fan and Sakyamuni arrived at the scene, they felt somewhat puzzled.

A group of Great Thousand Race cultivators had gathered around a seemingly ordinary mountain. Yet within that unremarkable peak, a powerful force was brewing.

“The Seat of Eternity is hidden within. This time, we must obtain it at all costs.”

…

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was somewhat startled. It was strange indeed that the Seat of Eternity was now hidden within a forbidden zone…
