At this time,

In the Great Thunder Temple,

There was some uproar within the Buddhist community.

According to the timeline, the monkey should have been born by now, but it hasn't been born yet.

this……!

Could it be that something went wrong, and the calamity has changed?!

That shouldn't be happening!

It was at this moment that

Guanyin Bodhisattva received the message from the group and immediately reported to Buddha, "Your Majesty, a message has come from Flower Fruit Mountain. The monkey has been suppressed for too long and has fallen into a deep sleep, which they are unable to awaken."

Upon hearing this,

The Buddha slowly said, "Well, the great calamity is ordained by Heaven, and the general trend will never change. It is normal for there to be some slight discrepancies in the minor trends. After all, that monkey should have been born long ago. Suppressing it for too long will eventually cause some problems."

"Guanyin, go and awaken it!"

"I will obey the Buddha's decree!" Guanyin replied, then chanted the Buddha's name again before leaving the Great Thunderclap Temple. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Buddhist monks were overjoyed to see Guanyin Bodhisattva arrive.

With Guanyin present, the monkey will surely be born smoothly, and everyone will be happy. Minor mishaps will not warrant punishment, after all, they have guarded Flower Fruit Mountain for so long, and even if they have not made any great contributions, they have certainly put in a lot of hard work.

"Greetings, Guanyin Bodhisattva!" The group bowed respectfully.

“Excellent! No need for such formalities!” Guanyin Bodhisattva replied.

then,

Guanyin channeled her abundant spiritual energy into the immortal stone, and a continuous stream of power poured in. This made the monkey extremely happy. As expected of a heavyweight figure in Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva actually possessed the Quasi-Saint realm. This was great; the Great Luo Dao Fruit would surely be able to condense.

As time goes by,

There was no reaction whatsoever from the immortal stone, which surprised the Buddhist monks.

Even Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't wake the monkey!

Holy crap!

The gazes of the group caused Guanyin Bodhisattva's face to darken. What was wrong with this monkey? Under such abundant spiritual energy, it still hadn't awakened?!

How could this be?!

Damn it!

Am I going to lose face in front of my subordinates?!

Can that really work? Absolutely not!

immediately,

Without the slightest hesitation, Guanyin Bodhisattva poured a continuous stream of power into the immortal stone.

Time ticked by, and Guanyin began to question the meaning of life.

How is that possible?!

Despite her immense infusion of spiritual energy, she still couldn't wake the monkey.

Weird!

This is too bizarre, it can't possibly be!

So Guanyin Bodhisattva increased the input of power again, but it had no effect whatsoever. As the power kept flowing away, Guanyin's heart was bleeding, but the monkey showed no sign of waking up.

If Guanyin knew that, with her power, the monkey had successfully condensed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, she would probably want to die.

Oh no!

wrong!

They should have died instantly!

final,

Guanyin couldn't hold on any longer; she was already quite annoyed by the situation, so she stopped channeling spiritual energy into Guanyin.

For a moment, an awkward silence fell. The Buddhist monks all lowered their heads, seemingly observing the ants on the ground. Having witnessed their superior's discomfiture, they wished they had never been there. Being targeted and punished like this meant all their efforts were wasted!

cough cough~

Guanyin Bodhisattva coughed twice to ease the damnedly awkward atmosphere, and then said, "This immortal stone is strange. I must go back and report to Buddha. You all keep a close eye on it."

After saying that,

Without giving them a chance to speak, Guanyin Bodhisattva directly tore open space and left at lightning speed.

After Guanyin left, the Buddhist group breathed a sigh of relief; the scene just now was truly... too embarrassing.

But that's fine too. Even Guanyin couldn't solve the problem, so we can't blame them.

...

at the same time,

Heavenly Court

The Heavenly Emperor asked Venus beside him, "According to the timeline, that monkey should have been born by now, so why is there no sign of it?!"

Beside him, Venus said, "It seems that something has happened to the immortal stone. The monkey has fallen into a deep sleep. Guanyin has just left and tried to wake the monkey with a lot of spiritual power, but in the end it was all in vain."

"Your Majesty, if this happens, won't the Journey to the West... be subject to change, and Buddhism be unable to flourish?"

After saying that,

The Heavenly Emperor's expression remained completely calm, and his deep, majestic voice rang out.

"The Great Tribulation is determined by the Heavenly Way. Back then, we were tricked by the West and incurred karmic debts. If it weren't for this, how could there be the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West!"

Minor trends may change, but the major trends are immutable! If they could truly be changed, wouldn't that mean transcending the laws of nature?

"But... are we really just going to watch Buddhism flourish?" Venus asked unwillingly.

The Heavenly Emperor said, "Making some changes in minor matters might bring unexpected gains. Even if not, cause and effect are in the cycle of reincarnation. Today Buddhism is flourishing, and tomorrow Taoism will also flourish!"

"Then... should we give the monkeys a little more attention?" Venus asked.

The Heavenly Emperor replied, "You decide what to do, but in short... we can't leave any evidence against us!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will certainly do it well!" Venus replied respectfully and with full confidence.

...

at this time,

The west,

Great Thunder Temple

Guanyin's defeat caused Tathagata some embarrassment. Upon examining the celestial stone, Tathagata couldn't discern any change in it.

When they looked inside the fairy stone, the monkey showed no unusual behavior; it was simply sleeping.

this……!

In a short time,

Even with his vast supernatural powers and unparalleled cultivation, the Buddha could not determine the reason.

However, even if you can't see it, you absolutely can't say it out loud. Otherwise, how can you maintain your position? How can you lead the Buddhist community?!
