The Counterattack of the Villains

This is a void space, with no sky, no earth, no sun, moon and stars, just endless chaos.

But in this chaos, there are many things floating around, including magic weapons and weapons, porcelain bottles and cloth bags, and gold and silver jewelry.

This is the storage space inside Li Mu's body, but it actually has a formal name - the inner universe.

Li Muna's consciousness was in an inward-looking state, but what he saw was an elliptical space.

From the outside, it looks like an egg when it is bigger, and like a pea when it looks smaller, but it is huge inside and can store a lot of things.

"This is the origin of 'Chaos is like a chicken'. In the ancient world, when the universe was in this period, there were three thousand Chaos Demon Gods born in it."

"Pangu, the demon god of power, split the chaos, and the two qi, clear and turbid, rose and sank respectively, forming the prototype of the prehistoric world."

"Pangu does not exist in my inner universe, so in other words, if I want to open up the inner universe into a small world, I need to act as Pangu and separate the energy of chaos."

Li Mu quickly figured out how to open up a small world. He used his soul to transform Pangu, used his magical power to focus his axe, split the chaos, and created a low-end version of the prehistoric world, the so-called Small Thousand World.

The reason why it is said to be a low-end version of the prehistoric world is because the world created in this way has a round sky and a square place, which is the difference in scope.

As for the heaven and earth and all things in it, you have to create and perfect them step by step, bit by bit.

As for living beings, if they don’t understand the way of creation and don’t have the soil in hand, they can’t create on their own.

Therefore, those quasi-sage powerful men basically choose to collect creatures from the outside world to fill their own small worlds.

Especially the human race, the prehistoric world is vast and boundless, and the population is as countless as the sand of the Ganges River. The same is true for other animal creatures.

It's not a piece of cake to just find a place with a population of several hundred or tens of millions.

Even if you don’t want to make too much noise, you can collect a little today, a little tomorrow, a little here, a little there.

Who would notice if a village disappears occasionally? After all, are there not many villages that have been destroyed by demons?

The greatest characteristic of the human race is its ability to reproduce. As long as there is sufficient food, the population growth rate can be increased exponentially.

Although Li Mu has clearly understood the method of opening up a small world, he is not willing to do so, but he does not necessarily want to be independent and play tricks that are different from others.

Rather, he feels that the development potential of the world with a round sky and a square earth is too small and the homogeneity is serious. There will be no difference in the development level of people from different regions.

Li Mu had made up his mind a long time ago that he would not turn the small world into a Buddhist kingdom in the palm of his hand. Even if he wanted to turn it into a magical power, it should be called the universe in the palm of his hand or the world in his palm.

Because he doesn't care about the power of incense and willpower, he doesn't know how to breed believers. Li Mu will let the creatures in the small world develop freely.

After careful consideration, Li Mu decided not to follow the old path of other quasi-sages and use another method to open up the small world.

After making up his mind, Li Mutang immediately started taking action.

The normal way to open up a small world is to separate the two airs, clear and turbid, and let them rise and fall respectively. The turbid air condenses into the earth, and the clear air becomes the sky, forming the original heaven and earth.

Then he uses his own magic power or absorbs it from the outside world to create mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees, and finally collects living things inside.

Li Mu, however, did the exact opposite. Not only did he not divide the chaos, he instead used all his strength to draw it inward, compressing the chaos energy of the entire inner universe to the center.

The size of the inner universe has not changed, but the chaotic energy filling it has formed a vortex, spinning rapidly and condensing towards the center.

At the same time, Li Mu also injected his own merit into it, turning it into the laws of the inner universe, aura, matter, energy, etc.

What will happen when the chaotic energy mixed with infinite merit condenses to a critical value?

It's very simple, it becomes that singular point that contains everything, and finally explodes with a "boom".

This is actually the principle of self-destruction of monks, and when used to open up the small world of the inner universe, it is the Big Bang theory of the universe.

In this way, what Li Mu can get is not a low-end version of the ancient world with a round sky and a square earth, but a large universe composed of countless celestial bodies.

In such a universe, one living planet is equivalent to a world and can develop a civilization. How many living planets can be born in one universe?

For such a universe, the universe is really just an adjective, not a specific quantifier.

Not to mention that Ten Thousand Realms, Tens of Millions of Realms, and Hundreds of Millions of Realms cannot be defeated. The development potential is much higher than that of the prehistoric world with a round sky and a small square.

However, the world created in this way also has disadvantages, that is, it will take a long time to be fully formed.

From the time of the Big Bang to the time when the universe "cooled" and finally stabilized completely, with the emergence of planets with life, it would take at least several billion years.

Of course, the flow rate of time in the inner universe cannot be the same as that in the outside world. The billions of years in the small world may only be hundreds or thousands of years in the outside world.

Moreover, Li Mu can also use his own cultivation to speed up the cooling and evolution of the universe, perhaps in tens to hundreds of years.

For other quasi-sages, basically as long as the pure and turbid qi are separated, the small world will be formed, and everything and even the population can be filled into it.

But it's only tens or hundreds of years, and Li Mu doesn't mind spending time on it.

Because the rewards are much higher than the efforts.

It is not an exaggeration to say that when the universe takes shape, he can directly stage a plot like "Covering the Sky" in his own inner universe.

No matter what kind of world he wants in the universe, he can just choose a living planet and turn it into what he wants.

In other words, Li Mu's possession of this inner universe is equivalent to his possession of all heavens and realms.

At this moment, he has also thought about how to naturally train his real-life daughter-in-law Zhang Qin to become an immortal without affecting the love relationships in other worlds.

…

It took Li Mu more than twenty years to go into seclusion and open up the small world in the inner universe before he finally successfully completed the Big Bang and entered the early stage of the universe.

There is no need for him to worry about it anymore, he can just let it cool down and evolve on its own. At most, he can occasionally add some force to speed up the evolution.

A few more years passed like this. On this day, Li Mu, who was accelerating the evolution of the universe, suddenly felt something in his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes and disappeared into the quiet room. When he reappeared, he was on the top of Tianmu Mountain.

He looked up at the sky, only to see black air surging in the western sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

"Is that...demon energy?"

Li Mu's eyes flickered, and he secretly calculated that three hundred years have passed since the end of Tang Sanzang's apprenticeship.

In this way, it is the beginning of the calamity of Buddha and Demon, and Wutian ascends to the Lingshan Mountain.

For Li Mu, this was another opportunity to gain great merit.

Li Mu sighed lightly. In fact, if it was based on his character, he would prefer to kill Tathagata and let Wu Tianlai take charge of Lingshan.

Although Wu Tian is a demon, he is actually not very interested in dominating the Three Realms.

Everything he does is not to dominate the three realms, but to use his own power to change this world where gods and Buddhas are above and manipulate all living beings at will.

If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world. If I become a demon, what will the Buddha do to me?

This was what Wutian said personally when he was still Kinnara. The reason why he fell into the devil's path and became a devil Buddha was because he saw through the hypocrisy and falsehood of Buddhism.

The Buddha never saves all sentient beings. The Buddha only saves people with a predestined destiny. So what is a person with a predestined destiny? Naturally, he is a person who is useful to Buddhism.

Because Ah Sha was just a useless mortal, but not even qualified to live, Kinnara became Mara.

To be honest, Li Mu has great empathy for Wu Tian.

Although he is now a member of the Buddhist sect, he feels at ease with the support of Buddhism, but this does not mean that he thinks Buddhism is a good thing.

However, due to lack of strength, he cannot reverse the general trend of Heaven's way or break the destiny of Heaven's way. He can only follow the trend and seize a wave of merit.

Wu Tian in the original plot was not so much defeated by Sun Wukong and the seventeen relics as he was defeated by the general trend of heaven.

Originally, with his magical power, he was supposed to destroy the gods and Buddhas of the three realms and completely control the three realms. However, in reality, it overturned again and again, allowing the key figure Sun Wukong to escape again and again.

You cannot transcend the way of heaven. No matter how strong you are, you will eventually be defeated by the way of heaven.

The Tao eliminates demons for thirty-three years. This is the general trend of the way of heaven. No matter what the process is in the middle, Wutian will not be able to escape the result of defeat in the end.

Therefore, Li Mu did not dare to take the lead and fight against the general trend of heaven, but this was only temporary.

When he attains Hunyuan or even Wuji in the future, he will naturally have the final say in the general trend of this ancient world.

Now, let’s just go with the flow honestly!

Sighing again, Li Mu disappeared on the top of the mountain, returned to the cave, and waited quietly for Wutian to make his move.

…

Wutian arrived later than Li Mu imagined, more than three months later. On this day, he promoted the evolution of the inner universe as usual.

Suddenly, a lotus flower appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness without warning. There were twelve lotus flowers, and the whole body was purple-black.

A ray of light projected down from the bottom of the lotus, transforming into a handsome man in black robes with long hair disheveled, it was Wu Tian.

Wutian looked at Li Mu's spirit, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said: "Mofule, long time no see."

Mofule is the real name of King Mohuluaka.

Li Mu sighed and shook his head, and then preached: "Amitabha, you are no longer Kinnara, and I am no longer Mofule. My name is Fa Hai, and I am the mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva of Lingshan. And you

...is a demon.”

The smile on Wutian's face gradually disappeared. Among the eight celestial dragons, he had the best relationship with Mofule and King Asura Luo Qiantuo. They were the only ones who spoke for him when the Asura incident happened.

But now, not only Luo Qiantuo would rather die than help him, but Mofule also had the same attitude towards him, which made Wutian feel extremely sad.

He stared at Li Mu and said in a low voice: "Don't you know why I became a demon?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "I understand, but I still can't forgive you. Good and evil are not mutually exclusive, and different ways do not work together. Since you have chosen to become a demon, there will no longer be any friendship between us."

It's not that Kinnara no longer exists, it's just that it's not the demon Buddha in front of him, but the white-robed Wutian.

If facing Baiyi Wutian, Li Mu still recognizes him as Kinnara and recognizes him as a good friend. This is a matter of principle, at least it is a matter of principle that must be shown to others.

The so-called contradiction between good and evil was also told to others, but Li Mu had always scorned it in his heart.

He always acts based on his will, and good and evil are not at all his consideration.

Now it is just because the people he has made friends with are all decent people, so it is impossible for him to react now and make the people who care about him sad.

Therefore, he will stand firmly on the side of righteousness and fight Mo Luo Wutian to the end.

Wu Tian glared at Li Mu and shouted: "What is righteousness? What is evil? What is Buddha? What is devil?"

"I never wanted to become a Buddha? But haven't you seen what the so-called Buddha looks like?"

"You couldn't stand it at the beginning, so you kept causing trouble in Lingshan, and were finally forced to reincarnate and rebuild?"

Li Mu also became furious without warning. He pointed at Wutian and yelled: "It's all nonsense. Even if I can't stand it anymore, it's an internal matter within my Buddhist sect. No matter how much trouble I make, it's still a conflict within my own family."

"If you had not chosen to fall into the devil's path, but had secretly worked hard to practice and accumulate strength, and wait until the time was right to seek settlement with the Tathagata, I would definitely help you kill him today and work with you to change Buddhism and the Three Realms."

"But now you are no longer a Buddha, but a demon. You have abandoned your origin, your Tao, and your friends and brothers. How can you still have the face to see me?"

Wutian was stunned by Li Mu's roar. He stared at Li Mu with his mouth slightly open, unable to say a word.

It turns out that it’s not that he doesn’t want to change Buddhism, or that he can’t see Tathagata’s hypocrisy and falsehood, he also wants to overthrow Tathagata.

But he wanted to do this in an upright and upright manner as a Buddha, instead of falling into the devil's path like himself and relying on external forces to do it.

After a long time, a bitter look appeared on Wutian's face, and he said slowly: "I don't know if you can do it on your own, but I'm not sure, so..."

"Forget it, I don't ask you to help me. I just hope you don't become my enemy. I don't want to take action against you."

"As for whether I can succeed, it will only take thirty-three years to tell. You might as well sit on Tianmu Mountain and wait and see the results."

Li Mu snorted coldly and said decisively: "Impossible, I said, good and evil are not mutually exclusive. You can just come over here, but I want to see what abilities you have gained after becoming a demon."

Just kidding, how can you gain merit if you don’t get involved?

Li Mu is Li Mu, Mofule is Mofule, Mofule is Li Mu, but Li Mu is not Mofule, so he will not care about Mofule's friendship with Jinnara.

What's more, as the saying goes, Wutian in white is Kinnara, and Wutian in black is Mara. They are not the same person at all.

It's just that there are more worlds to experience, and there are more replacement characters. Playing replacement roles has become Li Mu's instinct.

Even though he was very clear-headed and rational in his heart, in his words and deeds, he still showed the emotions that a substitute character should have.

After saying that, Li Mu directly made seals with his hands and recited the mantra in his mouth: "The mighty heavenly dragon, the great law mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bama coax...kill demons and subjugate demons."

The golden light shined between Li Mu's handprints, and his magic power turned into a golden beam of light and bombarded Wutian.

A sad look appeared in Wutian's eyes, and he did not react at all, letting the golden light hit him and scatter him.

This was just a manifestation of his spiritual thoughts, similar to the method of entrusting a dream. Not to mention that he didn't have the power to resist, even if he did, he would not take action against Li Mu.

He could feel the anger from Li Mu's emotions, and he knew that the other party did not really have any affection for him anymore.

It's a pity that he has reached this point and there is no turning back...

…

In the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Lingshan, where the Great Hall of the Great Heroes originally belonged to the Tathagata, Wutian slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "Mofule..."

"Report..."

At this moment, a man in black robes quickly walked into the hall and said to Wutian Heshi: "Buddha, the giant scorpion failed to recapture the relics of the burning lamp. The black lotus envoy was also seriously injured by Sun Wukong.

.”

"What?" Wutian's eyes narrowed, and he temporarily put aside the impact of meeting Mofule, and said with a gloomy face: "Where are they?"

The black robe said: "They are meeting outside the palace at the moment."

Wu Tian said angrily: "Trash, you can't handle such a small thing, let them get out."

"Yes." The black robe turned around and shouted loudly outside the hall: "Giant Scorpion Black Lotus, come in."

The giant scorpion and the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, whose head and face were shrouded in hoods, entered the hall side by side. They bowed together and said: "Buddha."

After standing up, the giant scorpion said: "Buddha, my mission was destroyed by Sun Wukong, and the relic was also taken away by Sun Wukong."

The Holy Envoy of Black Lotus continued: "Black Lotus is incompetent and was discovered by Sun Wukong. He ruined the Buddha's important affairs. He is really worthy of death."

Wutian looked into the eyes of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy, and many images flashed through his eyes, which were exactly what the Black Lotus Holy Envoy had experienced before.

Originally, the Holy Envoy of Black Lotus was ordered by Wu Tian to transform into Guanyin Bodhisattva and go to the Holy Buddha Cave to trick Sun Wukong into coming to Lingshan Mountain.

As a result, Sun Wukong was suspicious because he held the jade purification bottle in the wrong hand. After several trials, Sun Wukong found out.

When Wu Tian saw Sun Wukong's wit and variety, he secretly admired him.

Therefore, it is said that details determine success or failure, and often a little negligence will lead to failure.

Guanyin Bodhisattva has always held a jade purification vase in his left hand, but the Guanyin Bodhisattva transformed by the Black Lotus Saint holds a jade purification vase in his right hand.

In the end, just such a small detail made Monkey King see the problem.

Wutian read the experience of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy and said to him: "You can't be entirely blamed for this matter. That Sun Wukong is indeed extremely smart."

After saying that, he waved his hand and released a burst of mana, which penetrated into the body of the Black Lotus Holy Envoy and instantly healed his injuries.

Black Lotus Holy Envoy Heshi bowed and said: "Thank you Buddha."

Ying Yao, one of the four great generals under Wu Tian, ​​said: "Buddha has vast supernatural powers and boundless magic power. If you want to subdue Sun Wukong, you can just use your magic power to capture him. Why bother?"

Wutian said solemnly: "What do you know? Do you think Tathagata is really dead?"

"What? Tathagata is not dead?"

Hearing his words, the faces of Black Lotus Holy Envoy, Black Robe, Ying Yao, and Giant Scorpion all changed drastically.

Wutian said slowly: "Of course he is not dead, and Ran Deng is not dead either. How could a powerful quasi-sage like them die so easily."

"They are just reincarnated as mortals. This is the so-called destiny. I will rule Lingshan for thirty-three years. The Tathagata will come back after thirty-three years."

Yingyao asked nervously: "Buddha, can this number be changed?"

The other three people also looked at him solemnly.

Wutian was silent for a moment and then said: "If it can be changed, is it still called a fixed number?"

The four generals looked at Wutian with confused faces. If the number cannot be changed, then what are we doing?

Fortunately, Wutian continued: "But I want to change this destiny, so I want to use Sun Wukong."

Ying Yao quickly asked: "How to use it?"

Wu Tian said: "If the Tathagata wants to regain control of the Lingshan Mountain, he must rely on three treasures. One is the reincarnated body of the Tathagata, and the other is the seventeen relics."

"Seventeen relics?"

Wu Tian nodded and said: "There are seventeen ancient Buddha relics in Buddhism. If these seventeen relics are gathered together, we can seize the creation of heaven and earth and unleash the power of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

"Now that the saint has not come out, no one in the Three Realms can stop Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, not even me."

The four generals nodded solemnly and slowly, and Ying Yao asked again: "What is the third treasure?"

Wu Tian said: "Sun Wukong."

"Ah? Sun Wukong is also considered a treasure?"

Wu Tian said: "Not only is it a treasure, but it is also very important, because only he can find the reincarnated soul boy of the Tathagata."

"Other than him, no one can find the most important one among the seventeen relics...the boneless relic."

Yingyao asked curiously: "What is the boneless relic...?"

Wutian shook his head helplessly and said: "No one in the world has seen it, and I don't know either. I only know that the boneless relic is the foundation of ten thousand Buddhas."

"If you can't find the boneless relic, even if the other sixteen are gathered together, it will be useless."

"And Sun Wukong can find the boneless relics. This is his destiny and also a destiny, so we must use him to find the seventeen relics and the reincarnated soul boy of the Tathagata."

The four generals suddenly understood, and Ying Yao said excitedly: "I understand, as long as I find the reincarnation of Tathagata, kill him, and take away seventeen relics, the fate will be changed, and Tathagata will never be able to return."

A cold smile appeared on Wutian's face, and he nodded slowly. The four generals were also refreshed and their confidence doubled.

It is a pity that although Wu Tian clearly understands what destiny is, he has never become a saint after all. He still does not understand the horror of the word destiny deeply enough.

The fixed number is the general trend of Heaven, and it is also the will of Heaven.

As long as you can't transcend the way of heaven, and to be more specific, as long as you can't defeat Hongjun, then no matter how many tricks you use, you still won't be able to escape the fate in the end.

This is also the reason why Li Mu did not dare to act rashly and could only choose to go with the flow.

The prehistoric world is different from the world he has experienced before. The way of heaven is a concrete existence, turned into an entity, and has a thinking existence.

Once he wants to reveal the secret, such as telling Wu Tian that Sun Wukong is the boneless relic and Qiao Ling'er is the reincarnated soul boy of Tathagata, everything will be fine if he kills them.

Then the only result is to be slapped into pieces by Hongjun, and then Wutian's memory is erased, allowing the path of heaven to continue to run.

This is the fucked up part of the prehistoric world. In the worlds he experienced before, the way of heaven was like a program, and it would only operate according to the program.

Once the plot is changed, the way of heaven will adjust itself and form a new trajectory.

In short, if there is no concrete general trend of the way of heaven, it is relatively easy to change. If the general trend of the way of heaven is concrete, people are not allowed to disobey it at all.

The manifestation of Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric world is not the choice of Heavenly Dao, but the choice of Hongjun, because it was him who took the initiative to conform to Heavenly Dao and allowed Heavenly Dao to think.

This is good for the prehistoric world. It enhances the safety factor of the world and will not be easily destroyed by powerful forces. Earth, water, fire and wind will be reopened at every turn.

It is quite unfriendly to all sentient beings, because everything is already determined and cannot be changed or changed.
