Lingshan, like a fairyland, is full of fairy grass and purple mushrooms. The picturesque mountains and forests are faintly shrouded in a sense of ruin and disaster, like the banks of the Qinhuai River where the song "Hou Ting Hua" is performed.

All the Buddhas are present in the Great Leiyin Temple. On the faces of the Buddhas and Arhats, there is no trace of the calmness and serenity of the past, and the atmosphere of anxiety and fear cannot be concealed.

In the battle of the Western Liang Kingdom of Women, Buddha Bodhisattva suffered heavy casualties, four and a half of the five major legions were destroyed, and only the half led by Indra was left to survive.

The Buddhist army and its ghosts were annihilated, not only offending the Heavenly Court, but also failing to gain any advantage over the Great Xia Empire, losing both the wife and the army.

The successive failures during the period of great catastrophe were particularly fatal to Buddhism.

If the Buddhist army and ghosts were not exposed, Buddhism could rely on its past friendship with Heaven and ask for support from Heaven at the critical moment. Even if the catastrophe was terrifying, it would still be possible to preserve the last foundation of Buddhism.

However, Tathagata was defeated by Lin Han repeatedly, his journey to obtain the scriptures failed, the Buddhist army and ghosts were exposed, the Heavenly Court was furious, and the Asura clan reappeared in the world, and the calamity retaliated.

The gods and immortals in the three realms saw the weakness of Buddhism.

Ever since the split of the underworld, Emperor Dongyue has been leading the ghosts to attack the Eighteen Hells controlled by Buddhism.

After the Asura clan recruited the Emperor of Fengdu and the ten Yin generals and ghost generals, they chose to attack the Eighteen Hells, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

Now Buddhists realize that the great catastrophe has fallen upon them.

"Heaven has joined the battlefield of the underworld."

When the news reached the Great Leiyin Temple, the faces of many Buddhas darkened.

They all knew what this meant. Heaven had sent its celestial soldiers into the battlefield of the Changfu Palace. The Eighteen Layers of Hell could no longer be defended, and Buddhism would be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

As they expected, Heaven openly dispatched heavenly soldiers to fight for control of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, triggering a chain reaction.

That night, news arrived that the demons in Xiniu Hezhou, who had been suppressed by Buddhism for a long time, began to cause chaos, and the harassment became more and more severe.

The Bull Demon King and the three demon kings of Lion Camel Ridge began to gather their subordinates and occupy the territory of Xiniu Hezhou. The demons and demons that had been suppressed by Buddhism seemed to break free overnight and began to attack Buddhism.

Various forces, big and small, began to break away from the control of Buddhism, openly or secretly, and even wanted to tear off a piece of bloody fat from Buddhism.

The Buddhist sect was forced into a dead end as it was measuring the calamity, and even Tathagata was overwhelmed.

Indra led the remnants of the army to support the underworld. Tathagata also went to the underworld to deal with the ancestor of the Styx. He could not distract himself to take care of other things, so Maitreya Buddha took care of the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou.

The battle gradually became fierce.

When the cause and effect of a catastrophe takes shape, it will bring disaster to Buddhism.

The general trend has taken shape. Unless one has the ability to change one's fate, one can only respond to the calamity and become the ashes left by Heaven to fill the gap.

But no one has the ability to change fate against the will of heaven, unless they can defeat the way of heaven and sever the cause and effect of heaven. But so far, even saints cannot do this.

…

The former Kingdom of Women in Xiliang.

At this time, there was only an empty land left in the Kingdom of Women. A few old and weak people were attached to their homeland and did not leave. The other women in the Kingdom of Women had already moved to Daxia.

This land is extremely quiet.

Suddenly, a ten-thousand-foot-wide space gate opened in the capital of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

A black-armored army flew out from the space gate, orderly and murderous, with infinite power.

Daxia, the Camp of Gods and Demons.

As soon as the God and Demon Camp appeared, they began to form a defensive formation. Later, the second legion, the War God Guards, and the third legion, the Beiwei Army, appeared above the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

The three elite war divisions of the Great Xia Empire were dispatched together, leaving two war divisions stationed in the Great Xia territory.

"How about we have a competition?" Li Jing said, gazing at the vast land of Xiniu Hezhou. "Let's see who can achieve the set strategic goal first."

"How to compare?" Yue Fei asked.

"Okay." Bai Qi agreed coldly.

"The competition is more interesting if there is a small bet." Yue Fei said.

"Whoever achieves the strategic goal in the shortest time and with the least casualties will win." Li Jing said with a smile, "Whoever wins will treat the other two to a drink."

"Add a bet."

"What to add?" Yue Fei became curious when he saw Bai Qi taking the initiative to ask for an increase in the bet.

"Whoever wins, the other two will say: You are awesome." Bai Qi said coldly.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

"OK."

They both agreed.

The three armies were ready to march in three directions with the Western Liang Kingdom as their center.

Yue Fei advanced towards the border of Chechi State, preparing to open up the coastal area where Xiniu Hezhou was adjacent to the West Sea.

Li Jing made his move after careful planning and advanced towards the Jisai Kingdom. The demons along the way were uprooted and forced to either surrender and pledge allegiance to Daxia or be defeated by the legion.

Bai Qi was the fastest advancer among the three. Together with Li Jing, they advanced towards Lingshan. His tactics were as fierce as fire. As they marched towards Zhuzi, they turned all those who did not surrender into scorched earth along the way.

Daxia joined the battlefield of Xiniu Hezhou.

This news detonated the three realms and became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Buddhism.

…

Dingguangxian was in a bad mood. He was now the Dingguang Happy Buddha of Buddhism, but he didn't want to be buried with Buddhism in the calamity. The best way out was to find a better place to live.

He knew that some Buddhist believers were secretly seeking a way out.

During the Conferred God Tribulation, he should have had a better future, but he was confused for a moment and betrayed the Jie Sect and the Chen Sect. He had no place to stay in the heaven and did not want to go to the underworld, so he turned to Western Buddhism and became one of the Laughing Buddhas.

It is said to be the Buddha's fruit position, but in fact it is just a Buddha who sits back, eats, waits for death, and enjoys himself freely.

The Laughing Buddha is not bound by some of the Buddhist rules and regulations and can practice dual cultivation with lust. Although he is a Buddha, his status is not as high as some Arhats or even Bodhisattvas.
