Chapter 58: Buddhist Kingdom Decoded: The Boss Is Actually Me
Next, the Captain began deciphering the inside story of this Bubble World.
Initially, this was just a simple Bubble Small World controlled by the Buddhist System. The overall atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful, natural resources were abundant, the world’s total area was not large, the social form was backward, in an ancient city-state system, and it was unknown how long it had existed?
Until a few months ago, the Bubble World suffered erosion and infiltration from [Yellow Springs]. Death Qi spread in the Human World, a large number of Walking Dead revived, attacking civilians with no coping experience, causing the Corpse Ghost disaster to spread rapidly.
This Bubble World, from the moment of its birth, inherited an incomplete ‘Buddhist System’.
On Du Ling Star, the true great Buddhist sects had rich experience in dealing with [Yellow Springs]. They even proactively invaded the Underworld, opening up ‘exclusive Hells’, demonstrating the boundless Buddhist Dharma, enhancing the overall influence of Buddhism.
Na Ye Buddhist Kingdom lacked the relevant Knowledge System and was restrained by [Yellow Springs Death Qi], retreating step by step.
In the end, the Warrior Monks of [Vajra Temple], who had long been suppressing the unruly people on the front lines, fell first. Instead, [Tian Yin Temple], which was always proficient in brainwashing and indoctrination and stayed in the rear, was spared.
After the Corpse Ghosts dug out a [Yellow Springs] spring eye in [Vajra Temple], the monks of Na Ye finally realized something was wrong. The previous Long Yin Abbot stepped forward, attempting to suppress the Vajra Temple Abbot who had already become a ‘Buddha Corpse Ghost’.
In this battle, Elder Duowen, who had been frustrated and endured for many years, finally seized the opportunity, causing Long Yin Abbot and the Buddha Corpse Ghost to both fall into the trap, attempting to make them consume each other, resulting in mutual defeat and perishing together.
Realizing the ambition to monopolize the Buddhist Kingdom and become the new generation leader.
Then, the [unexpected] happened as expected. After dozens of days of silence, Long Yin Abbot and the Buddha Corpse Ghost both absorbed [Yellow Springs Death Qi], transforming into Ghost Kings and returning.
Na Ye Buddhist Kingdom and the Bubble World fell into a world-extinction crisis! People fled in all directions, Duowen was appointed as the Last Abbot in the crisis, and it seemed he was about to fail miserably.
The story developing to this point was just the traditional [Bubble World] routine plot. [Mao Mao King] paid for deduction and calculation of a mission world suitable for their own, dispatching a sales squad to come for World Salvation + sales pitch of children’s wear.
Either the [Yellow Springs Crisis] was suppressed and resolved by the Mao Mao King squad’s intervention, achieving successful World Salvation, winning goodwill from the Buddhist Kingdom camp, and developing this place into a ‘cheap raw material cultivation and collection base’.
Or the [Yellow Springs Crisis] was further expanded, successfully polluting and transforming this Bubble World originally belonging to ‘Buddhism’ into a brand new ‘Yellow Springs Underworld. Bubble Small World’.
At that time, the ‘Bubble Underworld’ would have no attraction to [Mao Mao King], and it would most likely transfer and sell this intelligence to other ‘Yellow Springs system’ Demon Gods for profit exchange.
…
However, the accident happened half a month before the ‘Mao Mao King squad’ arrived. A group of uninvited guests from the Star Realm Layer, [Plant Universe refugees], arrived in the Bubble World first.
That’s right, those ‘Tomato Heads’ were not some kind of pollution or mutated monsters; they were born that way!
The Plant Race was one of the eight external universes connected to Du Ling Star, the native + intelligent life forms of the [Plant Universe]. The creatures of that universe revered plants, evolving into biological forms similar to Humans.
Tomato People were one variety of the Plant Race aliens.
Nowadays, a portion of [Plant Universe] alien immigrants had long-term settlements in the ‘Star Realm Layer (similar to outer space concept)’ outside Du Ling Star, and founded the renowned [Star Realm Intercontinental Bank] on Du Ling Star.
Of course, Yuan Zhu knew none of this intelligence. He had only heard of the great name of [Star Realm Bank], but Running City had no branch, and he heard Taixi next door had one. But he truly did not know it was opened by aliens, let alone a group of Plant People.
Today was an eye-opener!
This group of refugees were originally explorers from a certain Star Realm fleet branch of the Tomato Race. Responsible for prospecting and excavating valuable minerals in the Star Realm Layer.
As a result, during exploration, they unexpectedly suffered an ambush by ‘Filthy Bone Demonic Creatures’, a large number of companions were polluted by Filthy Blood, fell into madness, becoming ‘Mad Tomatoes’ that attacked and devoured their own kin indiscriminately. (Alien + Zombie script)
In the end, after a bloody internal strife massacre, the surviving Tomato Race killed and destroyed all the Mad Tomatoes.
But a new problem arose: as close contacts of the Filthy Bone Mad Tomatoes, their bodies inevitably harbored the risk of ‘Filthy Blood pollution’.
Although the Plant Race had innate strong resistance and possessed the unique ‘Starlight Pollution Affinity physique’ of the Du Ling World, they still could not guarantee perfect suppression of the Filthy Blood, avoiding Mad Blood outbreak and becoming Mad Tomatoes.
According to family rules, this group of survivors was to be destroyed. The Tomato Person survivors, unwilling to sit and wait for death, discussed and unanimously decided to flee the Star Realm and escape family control.
In the end, the Tomato Captain led a small number of crew members to find a [Nightmare Bubble Layer entrance] with obvious Spatial Fluctuation, blindly charging into it, surviving nine deaths and one life, successfully arriving in Na Ye Buddhist Kingdom.
A group of Tomato Race Filthy Blood carriers arrived in Na Ye Buddhist Kingdom, which was erupting in Yellow Springs crisis. Fully four Pollution Sources converged here: Buddhist Dharma, Yellow Springs, Filthy Bone, Star Tomato.
…
Due to the celestial phenomenon of Stars descending, the Tomato Race squad was detected by ‘Last Abbot. Duowen’ at the first moment, and monks were dispatched to retrieve them.
After communication and exchange between both sides, Duowen regarded the Tomato Race as otherworldly experts who could turn the crisis around; while the Tomato Race regarded Buddhism as a lifesaving straw to counteract the Filthy Blood hidden danger in their bodies.
Thus, both sides hit it off: the Tomato Race provided methods to manipulate and absorb Starlight, helping the declining Buddhism suppress the Yellow Springs disaster; in return, Abbot Duowen promised to help the Tomato People suppress the Filthy Blood in their bodies, even completely removing it.
In fact, both sides hid their own little schemes during this exchange.
Buddhist wondrous methods, especially the ‘Soul System’ cultivated by Abbot Duowen and Long Yin Abbot, had powerful mental brainwashing (pollution) effects, able to establish mind connections (Magic Net), forcibly converting believers, absorbing believers’ Souls to strengthen oneself, fusing and assimilating with each other, step by step strengthening the Soul essence, ultimately transforming into a Buddha’s miraculous ability.
Abbot Duowen planned to gradually implant Buddha Cocoons into the ‘Tomato People’, twisting and polluting their Souls, modifying and correcting their thoughts, ultimately holding a Grand Ceremony to turn them all to his own use, achieving the goal of occupying Starlight.
Although the Tomato People did not understand Buddhist Dharma, they feared Filthy Blood outbreaks, and their ability to manipulate Starlight was a Bloodline Talent racial Supernatural Ability. For Buddhism to use Starlight to drive away and suppress Yellow Springs, they must spare their lives, handle the Filthy Blood, and ensure their safety.
Just like that, after more than half a month of integration, the Tomatoes were collectively brainwashed.
At the same time, Abbot Duowen was frantically conducting Forbidden research, seeking methods to combine ‘Buddhist Dharma’ with Tomato Race Bloodline, while occasionally helping the Tomato People remove a bit of Filthy Blood to delay the outbreak of madness.
Thus, they jointly created ‘Tomato Head Monster Monks’ based on Humans, grafting Tomato Blood, cultivating freaks that were neither Buddhist Dharma nor Tomato. The Humans’ bodies symbiotically harbored alien Plant Person Bloodlines, Tomato Blood twisted and converted Buddha Cocoons, injecting Starlight.
At the same time, the increasingly paranoid and demonic Abbot Duowen injected the ‘Filthy Blood’ from the Tomato Race into Beasts, attempting to create cheap biological weapons controlled by Buddhist Dharma to counter the Corpse Ghost disaster.
The result was the creation of dangerous ‘green version Filthy Blood Demonic Creatures’, mad and deranged yet possessing plant characteristics, even with some Buddhist filthy roots, but completely uncontrollable by Buddhist Dharma. Thus, beyond the ‘Yellow Springs Ghost Disaster’, they developed the ‘Filthy Bone Disaster’.
In the end, the deeply scheming Abbot Duowen chose to release the ‘green Demonic Creatures’. Although he could not control them himself, they could further demonize the world, forcing those fleeing and hiding civilians to return to Na Ye Kingdom for protection.
…
Then, the story came to tonight.
[Mao Mao King Sales Squad] forcefully arrived, one step too late, could only be sidelined throughout, getting drawn into this chaos.
Abbot Duowen, who had gathered enough believers, decided to hold a Buddhist Ceremony, channeling Starlight, exploding the heads of numerous Tomato Head Monks, stripping out the original ‘Starlight Buddha Cocoon’, linking them all to his own flower plate Head.
By leveraging the characteristics of plants, grafting fruit, forcibly completing a ‘great soul fusion’ with numerous monks, skipping the arduous cultivation steps, and directly becoming a Buddha!
Abbot Duowen not only had to bear countless monks’ souls with their own power (Buddha Cocoon as the hard drive, soul as the data).
but also planned to connect all surviving Tomato People with flesh… evolving into a brand new individual (Buddha Tomato), inheriting their racial talent to manipulate starlight.
Then, the differences between the Plant Race aliens and the humans of the Bubble World were too great. Abbot Duowen exerted too much force during soul assimilation, exceeding their own brainwashing and fusion limits, ultimately causing their self-awareness to collapse and dissipate.
Those numerous Buddha Cocoons storing the monks’ souls, plus dozens of Tomato People who joined Buddhism, along with Abbot Duowen’s ‘soul consciousness collective’, ultimately used Buddhist Dharma itself as the intersection anchor point to reshape the brand new life form Buddha Tomato.
Or rather, the Bubble World itself single-handedly guided and nurtured the Star Buddha Tomato, this world salvation Buddha, to save the Bubble World itself.
Therefore, Abbot Duowen is completely dead.
The currently born Abbot Duowen Star Buddha Tomato is the ‘native Demon God prototype’ formed from multiple powers, and can also be called the ‘Buddha’ nurtured by this Bubble World, the spokesperson of the World Will.
The Captain finally summarized: “Abbot Duowen may be a bad person, but the final version of Abbot Duowen Buddha Tomato that you saw has already been redeemed and joined the righteous side, qualifying as a ‘Benevolent God’ of the order camp. Its final act indeed used Starlight Vines to mend the heavens’ breach, blocking subsequent Tomato People or Filthy Bone Pollution from descending upon the Bubble World. At the same time, it sacrificed the spirituality of three Tomato People to seal off the seepage from the Yellow Springs. As long as it continues to clear the Bubble World’s ‘green version Filthy Bone Demonic Creatures’, this world will form a new order and give birth to a brand new species that is neither human nor Tomato Person.”
Yuan Zhu fell silent upon hearing this. If the Buddha Tomato has been redeemed and become the Benevolent God of the Bubble World, then the ‘Underworld Yellow Springs dimension + shadow prefabricated Ghost Companions’ that he personally planned—would that count as ‘villain foreshadowing’ prepared for the sequel?
The Boss is actually myself!
