At this moment, everyone finally understood what Ashura meant by the insecurity.
They, who had been so confident about everything, were now starting to panic.
One of them couldn't help but tremble as he said, "Buddha...maybe he really will die?"
"They might not die?"
Upon hearing these words, Ashura let out a cold laugh.
"Everyone, if Buddha doesn't return, we might still have a chance to negotiate with Tianmen, whether we become their dogs, use the entire Buddhist sect as a threat to exchange for a chance to live, or hope that Buddha can seriously injure the Holy Lord before he dies, so that we can have some breathing room."
No matter the outcome, at least we still have a glimmer of hope!
But what if Buddha were still alive?
Can he come back?
Then we... are doomed!
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed!
Certain death?
Why?
What's the logic behind this?
Buddha has returned, so why should they die?
They were the heroes who quelled the rebellion!
Looking at the shocked crowd, Ashura snorted coldly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "You, do you really not understand your Buddha?"
His temperament and personality... do you really think he's some kind of good person?
Immediately, everyone fell silent.
Ashura continued, "Then let me put it more bluntly."
He would feel that since the other side went there, but we didn't help him, causing him to be seriously injured, besieged by the Tianmen people, and lose the opportunity to gain some benefit, it was our fault!
He will blame all his losses on us!
At that time...
Except for those who stayed because he felt that Buddhism needed to preserve a root, everyone else had to die!
Random! Unconditional death!
"Gentlemen, are you... willing to bet on this?"
In an instant, everyone's expression turned ashen!
Is he betting that he might be one of the randomly selected people to die?
They're perfectly fine!
Why bother choosing something like this?
Are you crazy?
For them, given the choice, they would rather take the power of choice and the solution to the problem into their own hands!
Thinking of this, someone couldn't help but ask, "So what do we do now? Go to the Egyptian pantheon and ask Buddha for help?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Ashura immediately cursed!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes in an instant!
"Go help him now?"
That means a life-or-death battle between the Heavenly Gate and the Buddhist Gate!
At that time, we will be cannon fodder in the great battle between Buddha and the Holy Lord!
Before they die, we will all die!
Are you willing to do this?
Are you so loyal?
"Then go ahead, I won't stop you!"
Upon hearing this, even the Supreme Being was speechless on the spot.
Clearly, he simply hadn't considered all of that.
As for being truly loyal to Buddha?
Stop joking!
Loyalty my ass!
Which of these high-ranking Buddhist monks doesn't harbor ulterior motives?
Do you expect them to be loyal?
It's better to hope they're all great philanthropists!
Seeing the unease among the crowd, Ashura spoke again in a deep voice, "Everyone, if you want to live, or rather, if you want to take your life and death into your own hands, there is only one way."
As he spoke, Ashura took a deep breath, his voice heavy, and he spoke each word slowly and deliberately.
"Seize Mount Ling! Declare yourself king!"
Seize Mount Ling and establish yourself as king!
Upon hearing these eight words, the expressions of all the supreme beings instantly turned pale!
Clearly, this was something they hadn't expected at all!
None of them expected that Ashura would be so bold!
But Asura didn't see anything wrong with it.
He looked coldly at everyone and said in a deep voice, "As long as we seize Mount Ling, we can control the Buddhist gate and prevent outsiders from entering!"
Even more extreme, we could... run away with Buddhism!
We take the Buddhist artifact with us, find a secluded place to hide, and then unfold this magical artifact of Buddhism, concealing ourselves within it.
With the help of these humans we raise, we can definitely improve our strength to a certain level before venturing out!
This is almost a 100% guarantee of our survival!
And this is a method that no one else can match!
Upon hearing Ashura's words, everyone fell silent.
It must be said that Ashura's method is quite reliable.
At the very least, once they seize control of Mount Ling, they will be able to control the entire Buddhist community!
Even if the Buddhist gates are simply closed, it will not be easy for the Holy Lord to attack from the outside.
And if they choose to escape and hide in one of the three pantheons or somewhere in the human world, then they can start a Buddhist sect.
Even after a thousand years, no one will be able to find them!
This method...
It is indeed safe enough!
The only problem is that once they do that, they... will need a new king!
Now it seems that there is only one person who can be the new king.
It's Asura!
Should we recognize Asura as the new king?
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
Clearly, everyone knew that Asura's strength wasn't enough to overwhelm everyone.
If we consider the idea that strength is king, then Asura is not worthy of being called a king.
