Mu Jinyu looked at Arhat and said, "I heard you are now the Buddha Head?"
Arhat nodded and said, "Yes."
His expression was somewhat complicated, and he quietly glanced at Sheng Rulai beside him.
Sheng Rulai smiled and said, "It's time to pass the position to the young generation."
His tone also carried a touch of sentiment.
Among the major organizations, his contemporaries, the Pope of Brilliant Divine Authority, Reinhardt, had long died in the dark upheaval. The current Pope, Francis, succeeded him and is his junior.
Ren Xiaoyao from the Way of Nature also perished in the dark upheaval, eventually succeeded by Ning Fan, who is also his junior.
As for the Fallen Splendor, it suffered the worst fate. The Blood Lord Cain and the Old Dragon King from the Dragon King Hall perished together, then Lucifer took over Fallen Splendor, and Lucifer later also died in the dark upheaval, leading to the Curse World Master taking over, which almost led to the name Fallen Splendor being erased.
Paradise Lost, Omniscient, Slaughter Redemption, and others, were basically the same.
Only he had been holding the position of Buddha Head in Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere.
He had held this position long enough, and now that his cultivation has been completely destroyed, it is indeed time to retire and pass it on.
Finally, after checking that Mu Jinyu was alright, Sheng Rulai and Arhat took their leave and left Yinlong Mountain.
Upon exiting Yinlong Mountain, Arhat looked at Sheng Rulai with complex emotions and asked, "Master, are you really leaving?"
"Hmm, I'm going out to clear my mind a bit, don't worry about me. Although my cultivation is lost, I still have some self-preservation skills." Sheng Rulai waved his hand back at Arhat and then strode forward.
His figure soon disappeared from Arhat's sight.
Arhat sighed softly, then immediately soared into the air, heading towards Mount Song.
...
Inside Yinlong Mountain.
After seeing off the duo of Sheng Rulai, Mu Jinyu felt much better. He lay on the bed and suddenly thought of something, quickly asking Wen Rou and the others, "Is everything resolved?"
"Yes, everything is resolved. The Buddha Head took over for the last few minutes for you, supporting it until the Demon Breaking Technique completed one major heavenly circuit before the Buddhist Bell finally shattered!"
Wen Rou replied, "Afterwards, Aunt Mu also investigated, and although there were quite a few casualties due to people being hypnotized into cultivation, they were within an acceptable range."
"That's good then..."
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly and then asked, "And what about Chu Tiance? Did you catch him?"
He would naturally not forget this main culprit!
Because of this guy, his current condition is quite miserable, his cultivation completely destroyed, the mystical little tree regressed into a seed, and the Three-Leaf Youlian withered.
Hearing this, Wen Rou's expression slightly stiffened, she then pursed her lips, and with a bit of regret and helplessness, she answered, "Because, according to reason, after using the Demon Breaking Technique, Chu Tiance would have destroyed his own cultivation body. Even if he didn't die, he should have become a cripple, so at first, we didn't pay much attention to him afterwards, but then..."
"So he managed to escape?"
Although Wen Rou hadn't finished her words, Mu Jinyu understood her meaning. At that time, they were probably all concerned about his and Sheng Rulai's condition, so naturally, they didn't pay much attention to whom they considered a cripple, eventually letting Chu Tiance run away when he awoke.
"Yes."
All the girls hung their heads slightly in shame, and Mei Yinxue said, "But Elder Bai is already pursuing him now. It's just that Chu Tiance seems to have some tactics, although he can't obscure the Heavenly Mechanism as he used to, making it impossible for people to track him, but appearing and disappearing from time to time still makes Elder Bai a bit exhausted..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu let out a light sigh. He instinctively tried to utilize the Secret Heavenly Calculation to search for Chu Tiance's whereabouts, as at the time when Chu Tiance was suffering backlash, he could see Chu Tiance's position clearly.
Unfortunately, as soon as he activated the Secret Heavenly Calculation, he felt an intense pain bursting in his head, causing him to involuntarily let out a groan of pain.
"Jinyu, what's wrong?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu's distress, with his face contorted in pain, the girls immediately called out in a bit of a panic.
"It's nothing, I'm fine, don't worry..."
Mu Jinyu shook his head a few times, immediately stopped the heavenly deduction, and only then did his head feel a bit better. He then quickly reassured the girls.
Gu Xiyan somewhat reproachfully said, "You should stop recklessly mobilizing your True Yuan and Divine Sense, your injuries haven't healed, and they might never heal for the rest of your life..."
"Mm, I understand..." Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, smiling bitterly.
"Phew..." Taking a long breath, Mu Jinyu finally felt a bit more composed. He thought to himself that the damage this time was indeed quite severe.
If the Mystical Little Tree and the Three-Leaf Youlian hadn't been exhausted by him, he might have recovered quickly. But in order to hold out a bit longer and save Sheng Rulai, these two Divine Plants had been drained by him.
This made his recovery time almost unpredictable.
If he couldn't find suitable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he might truly end up like this, half-crippled for life.
The most important thing is that he was originally planning to go to the Demon World with Xilin after this event to find Xiang Mantang!
But now, in such a half-crippled state, there's no way he can go.
"Dragon Master, several bishops of Brilliant Divine Authority have learned that you are awake and wish to come to visit you..."
At this time, Mu Hongchen sent a message to Mu Jinyu.
"Hmm? They haven't left yet?" Mu Jinyu thought for a moment and then let Mu Hongchen arrange for them to come over.
"Dragon King!"
"Dragon King, you're awake, how is your recovery?"
"..."
A group of Cardinals, led by Mu Hongchen, entered the wooden house, asking in a respectful and concerned tone.
"It's alright, thank you all for your concern. Is there something you needed from me?" Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then directly asked.
He thought that this alliance of theirs, although it indeed made their relationships much closer, shouldn't be enough for the people of Brilliant Divine Authority to wait on him, right?
There sure must be something they need, hence why they have lingered at Yinlong Mountain.
One of the Cardinals, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, showed a slightly embarrassed expression, then replied, "Dragon Master, the restrictions you set in the Vatican, we cannot remove them, so now that this matter is resolved, we wish to request your help in removing those restrictions."
"Oh? I'm sorry, I forgot about that, my apologies, my apologies, I will come over to remove the restrictions for you!"
Hearing their words, Mu Jinyu was momentarily taken aback, then had an epiphany, remembering something he had originally overlooked.
At that time, he had gone to request the assistance of Brilliant Divine Authority, personally went to the Vatican, and found Francis was in a demonic state. To avoid accidents, he sealed Francis and other high-ranking members of the Brilliant Divine Authority in the chapel.
And after so many subsequent events unfolded, he had momentarily forgotten about that matter.
"Dragon Master, there's no need to apologize, we understand!"
The Cardinals quickly reassured, stating that the Dragon King need not apologize.
They all knew Mu Jinyu was severely injured, with his soul also wounded. This matter was just a small issue for him, and with Chu Tiance missing, it was normal for him not to immediately remember the situation with Francis.
"This... Jinyu, are you going to go over, is this... okay?!"
Gu Xiyan, Wen Roumei, and Mei Yinxue, hearing Mu Jinyu's intention, all showed a slightly changed expression and quickly spoke out.
