Chapter 137 At Xiawei Temple, he offered all his faith to his gods and Buddhas.
I'm so excited I'm practically a fool! I can't wait to see what the female guest will look like after she becomes a goddess again!
[I know the answer to this question! I watched the Little Witch's last godhood livestream. She didn't actually change much in appearance, but her aura became even more imposing and majestic—she was incredibly cool!]
To be honest, I'm really curious about why the female guest became a "god" this time. Based on her performance in this dungeon show, it definitely wasn't to win over the two dungeon guests. What was she planning to do with the entire dungeon?
In the unseen light of the live stream, while the butter monk made his statement, Yu Naixin was also busy.
She immediately followed the rules set by the butter flower monk during the previous simulation, quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and focused on making a vow to the hollow Buddha statue in the center of the lotus pond.
Because the butter flower monks were simply providing a perk for the show's guests in this segment, without any intention of making things difficult for anyone, the rules were quite lenient. So, Yu Naixin only needed to stand on the jade platform, directly in front of the offering table. She didn't even need to turn around; it was perfectly fine for her to have her back to the statues of gods and Buddhas.
This time, Yu Naixin's fulfillment of her wish followed the exact same format as when she asked for rainbow gradient hair last time.
"Thank you for fulfilling my wish three years ago, so that I can now take your place."
Yu Naixin knew better than anyone that to achieve a change of identity in the so-called dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%", certain conditions were required, and her identity change had to conform to the logic of the production team.
To put it bluntly, this statue of a deity is the personal creation of the butter flower monk and has nothing to do with the other guest, the headless stone ghost. Therefore, Yu Naixin did not specifically invite the headless stone ghost to make a statement of "conversion" to her; she only needed to ask the butter flower monk to "help out."
The Butter Flower Monk is also the actual person in charge of the entire Xiawei Temple. This can be seen from the difference between the climate inside the temple and the climate outside the temple. The main authority of Xiawei Temple is in the hands of the Butter Flower Monk. The Headless Stone Ghost's authority is only to use the bluestone inside the temple. Even the main hall in the backyard was once cut off from the Headless Stone Ghost.
With the wholehearted approval of the butter flower monk, Yu Naixin's identity as a deity or Buddha was established, which was the most basic and important condition.
The statues of gods and Buddhas themselves have no physical parts. Underneath the layers of gray mist is only a hollow interior. However, Yu Naixin has experimented and found that this hollow interior is not empty. It still contains an invisible spiritual power equivalent to about 150 points.
Yu Naixin directly used the 150 points of spiritual power coefficient in a way that was permitted by the rules.
This is how she obtained the identity of a god or Buddha.
Within Yu Naixin's experimental and calculation scope, any wish that affects her as the wisher can be fulfilled, although there will be a limitation on the time it takes to take effect.
Yu Naixin's desire to take her place can only last for a few dozen seconds at most.
However, Yu Naixin never intended to hold this position for long from the beginning.
Even if it's only a few seconds, it's enough for her to finish what she wants to do.
As the golden light faded, Yu Naixin's figure finally reappeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.
Behind her, the blurry statue shrouded in gray mist had vanished, and a layer of platinum light gently enveloped her entire body, making her appear holy and solemn.
In Yu Naixin's beautiful, moist peach blossom eyes, there was also a faint, captivating golden glint.
Wow, that's so cool!
[Oh my god! The female guest was already quite imposing, but now she's also gained divinity and Buddha-like qualities. I can almost see what she'll look like after she truly becomes a god!]
[So suitable...how could she be so suitable?! Whether she's a mountain god, princess, queen, or deity, the Great Demon King suits her perfectly! She truly shines in every role!]
Similar to her experience as the "Mountain God" in "Cocoon Village," Yu Naixin once again felt the strange sensation of two opposing armies suddenly intruding into her familiar body and waging a war to the death.
However, the authority of this deity was much weaker than that of the "Mountain God," and Yu Naixin was no longer the mortal without any spiritual power. She didn't even feel much discomfort, but she felt a little strange that power that did not belong to her was flowing into her body.
Without wasting any energy on these trivial details, Yu Naixin knew she only had twenty seconds at most and had to hurry.
This authority of the gods and Buddhas can cover not only the area inside Xiawei Temple, but also extend to the snowy area outside.
very good.
Yu Naixin's last bit of worry disappeared.
Her attention was focused on the area outside Xiawei Temple.
Yu Naixin's first goal in becoming a "god" this time is to restore the headless stone ghost to its complete body.
Previously, when Yu Naixin completed the "pilgrim's wish fulfillment" process in front of this deity in the simulator, her first wish was for the headless stone ghost's head to be restored, but unfortunately, she was unsuccessful.
Now that she's the only deity in the entire instance still receiving incense offerings, even if she can't find Mr. Stone's lost head, she can still make him a new one.
The temple had plenty of readily available bluestone floor tiles. Yu Naixin certainly didn't have the same superb skills in carving and shaping as the butter flower monk, but she made up for it with spiritual power. With Yu Naixin's almost reckless use of spiritual power, she managed to create a stone head that was exactly the same as the original appearance of the headless stone ghost.
The moment Yu Naixin "became a god," the headless stone ghost, who was the main Buddha statue in the main hall of Xiawei Temple, sensed it immediately.
When Yu Naixin wanted to reshape the headless stone ghost's head, the headless stone ghost could clearly feel its broken neck being surrounded by warm golden light. Yu Naixin did not hide what she wanted to do from the headless stone ghost.
If the headless stone ghost showed any unwillingness, Yu Naixin would not force it. However, the headless stone ghost showed no resistance or rejection at all. It sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the cave and even relaxed itself to make it easier for Yu Naixin to operate.
This made Yu Naixin think of the comments in the live stream, "The headless stone ghost seemed like an extremely docile large beast in front of the female guests."
Even though her mind wandered for a moment, Yu Naixin did not stop moving. Using her divine authority and spiritual power, she welded the sculpted head onto the head of the headless stone ghost.
There were no traces left at the joint, as if it had never been broken.
Yu Naixin finally saw the complete appearance of the headless stone ghost.
In the special memory illusion, Yu Naixin's spirit first lay on the headless stone ghost's head, and later on his shoulder. From Yu Naixin's perspective, the face of the headless stone ghost that she could see was always very limited.
But now, with the authority of gods and Buddhas, they can see through all obstacles between them, and Yu Naixin clearly saw the face of the headless stone ghost.
With kind eyes and a dignified appearance.
Just as Yu Naixin had imagined.
【！！！！！！】
[I knew the female guest was up to this whole "becoming a god" act! Turns out it was to rebuild the stone Buddha's body! Good heavens, she really opened her heart to both male guests on this reality show!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 28 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "I Love Mutual Attraction"!]
[The "Big Boss" is the type who reciprocates kindness with even greater kindness! These two male guests are different from all the previous ones, and the "Big Boss" treats them differently too!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 19 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Wang Cuihua"!]
After such a long time, the headless stone goblin has regained its complete body and is still not quite used to it.
He blinked very slowly and awkwardly, moved his lips, and then reached out and touched his face.
From the moment the headless stone golem was able to move freely, it has always been in the form of a severed head.
This was the first time he had been able to move his head organs.
After getting used to his body a little, the headless stone demon did not hesitate to plunge the huge stone sword into the mud of the cave. He held the hilt in one hand, knelt down, and bowed deeply in the direction of Yu Naixin.
"Thank you..." he said, emphasizing each word as he tried to make his sentence flow smoothly, "for your grace!"
Yu Naixin smiled and raised her eyebrows.
"I'm glad you like them," she said. "Before we part, I have a small gift for you!"
With less than three seconds left to grant her divine authority, Yu Naixin used the last bit of spiritual power within her to cast a… brief illusion on the butter flower monk and the headless stone ghost.
The illusions received by the two guest characters are different.
What the butter flower monks could see was that the familiar plateau no longer recognized the legitimacy of "Xingchan". The former Xingchan people had become ordinary people. They had their own land, and as long as they worked hard, they could eat their fill. In addition to the refined tsampa, there were many other delicacies to enjoy.
With the abolition of the patriarchal system, no one could legally abuse the people at will.
The bloody sacrificial practices have become a despised custom. Items such as "Sister Drum" and "Human Skin Thangka" have been explicitly prohibited. The old objects that have been passed down are displayed in exhibition halls to serve as a warning and reminder to visitors.
People on the plateau no longer need to search for other paradises; the plateau itself has become a paradise that countless travelers flock to.
What the headless stone ghost could see was that the weathered grottoes had become a famous tourist attraction, and the damaged Buddha statues were preserved and displayed to tourists from all countries and regions around the world.
Holding a small red flag and wearing a megaphone, the tour guide told the tourists behind him about the origin, history, and cultural significance of the grottoes. That history has not been sealed or buried; it is found among these Buddha statues with severed heads, missing arms, and mottled robes.
The walls of the grotto are covered with patches of Rehmannia glutinosa flowers. The gray-green leaves and pinkish-white flowers are inconspicuous, but they can be seen everywhere.
Children traveling with their parents no longer need to pick these "honey pots" to obtain the rare sweetness. Instead, they hold various desserts and candies such as candied hawthorns, ice cream, and lollipops in their hands. What was once a rare treat is now a common food enjoyed by every household.
Whether it was the butter flower monk or the headless stone ghost, they were all stunned when they saw the scenes and characters in these illusions.
This is……? !
“These are scenes I witnessed a few years before I joined ‘Heartbeat 1000%’.” Yu Naixin’s voice was calm and gentle, as if she were telling a long story. “I’m not sure if I come from the same time and space as you, but the things you witnessed in your memories also really happened in the history of my hometown.”
"So I thought I'd let you see these scenes that I've personally witnessed and experienced."
[!! I was just wondering what small gift the female guest gave, and why only the two male guests who received the gifts could see it. Why couldn't we viewers see it too? Then the female guest just explained it! Ah, thank you, female guest! At least I don't have to be so anxious trying to find out what happened!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 9 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Manman"!]
[Oh my god, this is the gift she gave... The female guest is so thoughtful...]
[Waaaaah, our Great Demon King is so amazing!]
"There is a time gap of about one hundred years between me and you. One hundred years after you left, the soil that has borne countless hardships and tears has finally blossomed with colorful flowers, grasses and trees."
At this point, all the divine and Buddhist authority that Yu Naixin possessed had been withdrawn.
She no longer shone with platinum light; her peach blossom eyes held no brilliance other than a bright smile.
However, in the eyes of the monk who was closest to her, Yu Naixin was far more radiant and charming than any other brilliance at that moment.
Tears welled up in the eyes of the butter sculpture monk. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, bowed his head, and knelt down on both knees in front of the girl on the jade platform in the lotus pond, like the most devout believer worshipping his only god.
The butter-flower monk wanted to say "I am deeply grateful" to Yu Naixin, but he was so choked up that he lost the ability to utter any syllables.
He could only bury his head deeply, kowtowing to the ground, offering his entire faith to his gods and Buddhas through the language of his body.
The butter-flower monk thought to himself that he had ultimately succumbed to his own selfishness.
He didn't want to just stay trapped in his sins, waiting in this cage called "Xiawei Temple" for someone to give him a quick death.
He wanted... he desperately wanted to follow his gods and Buddhas, even if only as a prop with little independent consciousness.
[Congratulations, female guest! The male guest "Butter Flower Monk" has reached 100% affection for you!]
You will receive additional generous rewards during the settlement process after this program ends!
The butter monk, who had been desperately suppressing his goodwill, could no longer hold back.
The moment he decided to become Yu Naixin's special spiritual artifact, the butter flower monk was able to sense that he could, to a certain extent, establish some basic rules for the special spiritual artifact he would become in the future.
Without any hesitation, the butter monk first issued a strict order that Yu Naixin must not be harmed in any way.
Then, he hoped to provide as much assistance as possible to Yu Naixin.
[Congratulations to the female guest on "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have successfully completed this episode's challenge and are currently calculating your final reward!]
As the system announced the end of the instance program, two streams of light, one crimson and one bluish-gray, flew in from two different locations: one by the lotus pond and the other from the cave entrance at the foot of the snow mountain.
The headless stone ghost made the same decision as the butter flower monk.
[Aaaaaaah! This is wonderful! This is wonderful! This is wonderful! The butter monk and the stone Buddha can continue to keep the little witch company, waaaaaah!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 52 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "bright"!]
