Global Planets: Build A Primordial Civilization From Day One-Chapter 290 - 205: A World of Various Beliefs in Fierce Competition!

Chapter 290: Chapter 205: A World of Various Beliefs in Fierce Competition!

"Brother! Now all the beings of Primordial are watching us, if we fail, we two will become the laughingstock of Primordial, just like Laozi and Primordial!"

Zhunti looked at Guiding’s bitter face, felt a bitter heart himself, and couldn’t help but complain, hoping Guiding could make a decision soon. If they drag on, the Merit floating above the firmament will disappear.

By then, it would be difficult for both of them to become Saints!

Upon hearing these words, Guiding grew even more anxious.

Suddenly!

He came up with an idea, and transmitted it to Zhunti, saying: "Junior brother, if the Heavenly Dao doesn’t bestow Merit, we can borrow it!"

"Borrow?"

Zhunti’s mouth twitched as he asked, "How do we borrow?"

This was the first time he had heard that Merit could be borrowed—an audacious notion indeed.

Guiding, seeing his reaction, explained his idea once more via telepathy: "We have already made our grand vows, and the Heavenly Dao has rewarded us with some Merit. Why not speak of what we intend to do in the future? Perhaps that will prompt the Heavenly Dao to bestow Merit upon us!"

"Can that... really work?"

Zhunti hesitated.

This method suggested by Guiding was not as simple as making grand vows.

If they failed to accomplish their goals in the future, they were sure to face divine retribution.

Knowing what Zhunti was worried about, to dispel the doubts in his heart, Guiding spoke again to persuade him, saying, "Success or failure, we must give it a try!

Otherwise, neither of us can become Saints, right?"

Guiding’s threatening words were compelling.

Without waiting for Zhunti to speak, he continued:

"Junior brother, consider this: the Western Sect breaking away from the Mystic Sect, with Buddha rising with the tide of the times, is surely the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao!"

"We establish the Western Sect, creating the Buddhist system... The Heavenly Dao will not trouble us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti pondered for a moment, then said:

"Fine, we’ll do as brother suggests!"

Immediately!

The two voiced up to the heavens, saying simultaneously,

"O Heavenly Dao above, we, two brothers, wish to save the beings of Primordial from their suffering. Alas, we lack the strength. Today, we make our oath, determined to free the beings from their afflictions!"

Having said this, the two began to make their vows:

"If I achieve Buddhahood, but in my realm there exist Hell, hungry Ghosts, or animals, I will not attain true enlightenment;

If I achieve Buddhahood, and in my realm humans or celestial beings after death revert to the three evil paths, I will not attain true enlightenment;

If I achieve Buddhahood, and celestial beings in my realm do not possess the true golden hue, I will not attain true enlightenment..."

The vows were made.

"We, the two of us, will take it upon ourselves to relieve the beings of their misery, establishing Three Thousand Buddha Countries, welcoming all beings. Those who are not awakened may enter the Buddha Country to be reborn in ultimate bliss!

Let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

Their vows, like their previous grand vows, were more of the same, eliciting from the Saints and many powers both tears and laughter.

Boom!

Suddenly!

The Heavenly Dao actually responded.

"Boom!"

The Merit floating in the sky, all fell upon the figures of Zhunti and Guiding, astonishing the laughing crowd of powers and Saints.

"Damn!"

"Can Merit actually be manipulated like that?"

"Borrowing Merit?! Can we do the same?!"

"A bit far-fetched!"

"..."

The Saints and many powers were stunned by Zhunti and Guiding’s moves!

Not knowing how to judge their actions!

The idea of borrowing Merit from heaven seemed unreliable.

Grand vows and oaths, after all, must be fulfilled.

Otherwise, they will surely be counterattacked by the Heavenly Dao.

At the mild end, one’s body dies and Dao disappears, at the worst, soul destroyed and spirit disbanded!

Ordinary people truly dare not try.

But they had to admit one thing.

Guiding and Zhunti were clearly not decent creatures, willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

One must be careful when encountering them in the future.

So as not to fall into their schemes too early!

However, regarding the grand vows and oaths, Guiding and Zhunti were quite cunning, not specifying a timeframe for completion.

If the Heavenly Dao cared to quibble, they could always say they were in the process of fulfilling their vows and grand vows; they just hadn’t completed them yet.

Their actions could be seen as exploiting a loophole in the Heavenly Dao.

Perhaps it was for this reason that they dared to borrow Merit from heaven.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so foolish as to borrow Merit.

Becoming a Saint is indeed wonderful, but one must also live to enjoy it.

Hum!

As the two continued to absorb the Merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, the entire Western region was bathed in the radiance of the Merit Golden Light, gradually regaining its vitality.

In order to completely take control of the Western region of Primordial, Zhunti and Guiding released the essence of Buddha while absorbing the Merit, causing the beings of Western Primordial to unconsciously possess "Buddha-nature."

In the near future, their preaching is bound to become easier.

Of course!

Compared to the barren Western region, Zhunti and Guiding were more hopeful that the beings of Eastern Primordial could be influenced by them, but the signals they sent out were intercepted by several Saints of the East.

For them, the competitive grounds in Eastern Primordial were already limited; if they allowed two Western Saints to intervene, they would have even less to gain.

Therefore, as soon as the aura of Zhunti and Guiding spread to the East, it was jointly blocked by them!

Zhunti and Guiding, upon seeing this, did not mind.

This was just a probe to the reactions of the Eastern Saints, laying the groundwork for their plans in the East after they became Saints.

After all, from this day forward, the era of Saints had arrived.

Everyone was a Heavenly Dao Saint, and no one could kill the other.

Competing for Qi Fortune and expanding their Sects was inevitably full of strategic tricks.

Boom!

The next moment!

The absorption of Merit on Guiding and Zhunti was completed, and the heavens and earth sounded their congratulations.

Purple Qi comes from the East over thirty thousand miles!

Golden lotuses were everywhere, an Anomaly even more magnificent than during the time when others, like Tongtian, became Saints.

Affected by the majestic pressure of the Saints, the Primordial Beings knelt down to offer their congratulations.

From this point on, apart from Laozi and Primordial, all the disciples of Hong Jun had become Saints.
