Chapter 122 Xiawei Temple has absolutely nothing to do with the word "god"? ...

The butter-flower monk could no longer suppress his anger and murderous intent.

Every sect leader he encountered was killed by him.

The butter-flower monk even made a special trip back to Nizhu Temple to clear out all the targets that hadn't been killed last time.

Then, starting from Nizhu Temple, he would randomly head in a certain direction to find any sect leaders he might encounter and carry out indiscriminate assassinations.

The bloody legend of the Crimson Asura quickly spread across the plateau. Suddenly, the sect leaders were all in a state of panic and tried every means to send people to hunt down the Butter Flower Monks.

Those pursuers who managed to find him were all slaughtered by the butter monk.

There were innocent people among the pursuers, but even though the butter monks tried their best to avoid it, accidental injuries and deaths still occurred when a fight broke out.

But the butter-flower monks had no intention of stopping there.

Amidst this frenzied slaughter, the number of lives taken by the Butter Flower Monk exploded. Besides the sect leaders who deserved to die and their accomplices, the number of vengeful spirits caught in the crossfire was also considerable.

This would undoubtedly cause the butter flower monk immense pain, which would then intensify his madness and drive him to commit even more massacres.

Yu Naixin: "..."

The image of the butter sculpture monk reminded Yu Naixin of the headless stone ghost in the play "Xiawei Temple".

Caught in the throes of murderous intent, he went mad and became a crazed machine that knew only how to kill.

There's definitely a reason why these two guest stars were placed in the same segment of "Heartbeat 1000%".

The resentment that clung to the butter-flower monk grew stronger and stronger, gradually forming a shadow that was almost tangible.

Because of the intense resentment, many wandering souls on the plateau were also attracted by the butter flower monk and gathered into the resentment on his body.

This plateau has never lacked the souls of those who died with resentment, which has brought the resentment borne by the butter flower monks to a terrifying level.

[My goodness... This resentment! Even after all this, the butter flower monk hasn't been completely consumed and died?! How terrifying must his willpower and mental strength be to endure this?!]

[So that's where the resentment in the west wing that the female guest mentioned came from!]

Now I understand how this special memory illusion was formed; all the conditions were perfectly met...

Yu Naixin has no doubt that some of the spirits of Xingchan who were once saved by the butter flower monks will also join the ranks of those corrupting the butter flower monks.

The spiritual power of the butter sculpture monk also increased rapidly due to the nourishment from so many lives and souls.

It took almost a year for the butter monk's spiritual power coefficient to rise to 30, but now it has risen to a full 140 in just half a year.

The grass on the plateau has turned green again, and the path of slaughter and carnage of the butter flower monk has come to an end.

Yu Naixin felt an extremely powerful force, one that was impossible to resist, coming from the sky, like a giant hand that was firmly grasping the butter-flower monk who was snapping the neck of a sect leader.

Then, Yu Naixin felt dizzy again.

She returned to the west wing of the backyard of Xiawei Temple.

This special dreamlike experience has come to an end.

Yu Naixin was not unfamiliar with the power at the end of the illusion; it was the work of the mastermind behind "Heartbeat 1000%".

Based on the information she learned inside Xiawei Temple and some clues about the entire "Heartbeat 1000%", Yu Naixin was able to determine that the resentment on the butter flower monk was too heavy, which caught the attention of the production team and led to his capture in the program's segment.

Yu Naixin raised her eyebrows slightly.

She wondered if it was because the mastermind was more targeted when attacking the guests in the instance, but she always felt that His power seemed much stronger when capturing the Butter Flower Monk compared to when she had had some interaction with Him before.

To put it in numerical terms... He is now less than one-thirtieth of what He was back then.

Having watched the barrage comments in the illusion for a year and a half, even though the blocking mechanism was still very strong, Yu Naixin's reasoning and comprehension abilities were excellent. She was already very clear that there was probably a big problem there. Even "Heartbeat 1000%", which had been running for countless years with few bugs, had started to have frequent bugs in recent years.

From this perspective, Yu Naixin has reason to suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes encountered some accident in recent years, becoming much weaker, and even... unable to maintain the normal operation of the rules of "Heartbeat 1000%".

After all, she's the example of someone who, upon entering "Heartbeat 1000%", immediately faced a hellish, unprepared challenge, completely clueless about the show. She's standing right here.

[He's out! He's out! The Great Demon King has finally emerged from that incredibly long illusion!]

At first glance, I'm still getting used to the little witch in her normal form; I'm more used to her spirit form now...

The two forms are quite different in many ways, but I didn't expect the female guest to switch between them without any discomfort. That's amazing!

[Let me check, wow, 36 hours have already passed at the normal time flow in this instance, that's a day and a half! I remember about a year and a half has passed in the illusion realm, so maybe a year in the illusion realm is a day in the instance?]

There's another point that Yu Naixin finds interesting.

Viewers never use pronouns like "god" or "chief god" to refer to Him. Occasionally, in the bullet comments that Yu Naixin can see that are not completely blocked, they call Him "Master".

In the show "Heartbeat 1000%", the guests all have the potential to be "deified". The mountain god and the Buddha statue in the lotus pond in "Cocoon Village" and "Xiawei Temple" also show that there are "deities" in the program's episodes.

The one who actually controlled the entire "Heartbeat 1000%" had absolutely nothing to do with the word "god".

That's really... interesting.

Putting all that aside for now, Yu Naixin looked around and was finally able to see what the interior of the west wing looked like.

The west wing was forcibly opened by two straw men who were substituted for the deceased, each with a spiritual power coefficient of 2000. After a special memory illusion was played, all the resentment in the west wing dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the house.

Just as Yu Naixin had predicted, it was completely empty, without any furniture or decorations, and was practically bare except for the addition of a roof.

The walls and ceilings were dilapidated and full of damage, like an old house that had been abandoned for at least twenty years. The only slightly better parts were that there was no dust or cobwebs.

From the outside, it appears to be three side rooms, but from the inside, it appears to be only one room. The entire house lacks the partitions found in the opposite east wing; it is simply a large, empty room.

After confirming that there were no overlooked clues in the completely open west wing, Yu Naixin turned around and pushed open the broken door that had closed again at some point.

Yu Naixin checked the system screen; it had returned to normal after she left the illusion, showing the current time.

In "Xiawei Temple", it was already evening of the second day. The gray fog in the backyard had dissipated. Apart from the Buddha statue in the lotus pond, there was no other thick fog in the entire instance, and people could move around freely.

With a creak, the old wooden door opened, and Yu Naixin saw the butter monk standing quietly in the dim light of the twilight.

The right hand of the butter sculpture monk is held upright in front of his chest. He wears a dark red robe without any other decorations.

Yu Naixin had previously noticed that all nine NPC monks in Xiawei Temple wore a string of prayer beads around their necks, except for the butter flower monk.

At the time, Yu Naixin didn't pay much attention, guessing it might be because of the difference between the guest and the NPC.

Later, upon entering the illusion, Yu Naixin learned that when the butter flower monk was first born, he was adorned with a string of 108 Buddhist beads.

Even after the illusion ended, the Buddhist beads around the monk's neck were still there, so Yu Naixin assumed that he had taken them off himself after arriving at the program's segment.

After all, because of his past experiences, the butter flower monk no longer has any faith in the so-called gods and Buddhas.

Moreover, the significance of prayer beads for Buddhists lies in eliminating afflictions and karmic obstacles, but the butter flower monk does not need them; his choice is to carry all his sins with him as he goes.

However, Yu Naixin now knows the real reason why the butter flower monk removed his prayer beads.

During the period between the departure of the butter-painting monks from Nizhu Temple and their return, the bloody sacrifices within Nizhu Temple continued.

The final number of Xingchan's deaths reached a total of one hundred and nine.

In Buddhism, the number 108 represents the limit of human suffering, and this is the most common number of beads in Buddhist prayer beads.

These innocent people who died tragically outnumber all the troubles in the world.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door, the butter-flower monk, who had been looking down at the ground or lost in thought, raised his eyes and met Yu Naixin's gaze inside the door.

For a day and a half after the female benefactor entered the west wing, the butter-flower monk remained in the same spot, waiting without moving an inch.

The monk, who had experienced these bloody memories, never imagined that one day someone would be willing to spend so much precious time in a dungeon program, regardless of the high cost or meager reward, to relive those experiences with him.

In fact, not long after sending Yu Naixin in, the butter monk began to regret his decision.

He knew just how much unbearable resentment was contained within his dreamlike memory, which could potentially harm Yu Naixin, or even cause this female benefactor to lose her life.

This female benefactor, even when she was forcing and teasing him before, showed not a trace of malice...

He already has enough innocent lives on his conscience; if one more is lost…

The butter-flower monk was unwilling and dared not continue thinking about it.

Fortunately, he eventually saw Yu Naixin walk out of that door alive.

The butter-flower monk carefully examined Yu Naixin and was extremely relieved to find that the female benefactor had no wounds on her body and was in the same condition as when he entered.

This result... is almost abnormally good.
