《Heaven's Devourer》Chapter 1789: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

"Of course I want to restore the World Core! But the method is too difficult." Xuanzang sighed while shaking his head, frowning with distaste.
"Grandmaster, please let me hear it." Wu Yu suggested.
If there was a way he could help to restore the Immortal Buddha World Core, that would be ideal.
Xuanzang explained with a pained expression. "In the Nanhai World of the sky palaces, there is a person called Guanyin! She was originally an immortal buddha from Heavenly Buddha's Domain, but she did not participate in the entire fight, having gone to the sky palaces before it. Guanyin's buddha world can fortify the Immortal Buddha World Core and restore it. However, in the process she will die and be fused into the Immortal Buddha World Core."
Wu Yu was speechless.
Guanyin Pusa's life for the Immortal Buddha World Core!
It seemed like he would not be able to help with this.
After all, even if he could seek out Guanyin Pusa again, it was not a topic he could breach.
In her shoes, Wu Yu himself would not be willing to give up his life to restore the Immortal Buddha World Core either.
She was probably the same.
Xuanzang looked at the headband on Wu Yu's head and smiled. "This must be Guanyin Pusa's, right?"
"Yes." Wu Yu admitted honestly.
He trusted Xuanzang and there was nothing he needed to hide about this.
Xuanzang sighed with a deep sorrow. "If there is a chance, I too would like to go to Nanhai World and ask Guanyin personally to see if she would consider self-sacrifice to restore the Immortal Buddha World Core. I had given up on the idea, but with you here, you could take me to see her if you are willing."

He neither said his intention out clearly, nor hid it too deeply.
Perhaps to Xuanzang, looking at an endless procession of chaotic days and benevolent buddhas losing their minds was agony. It must pain him deeply to see them kill each other in such a crazed manner.
To end it all, he would personally ask Guanyin Pusa if she would give up her life.
But Wu Yu felt uneasy with this solution.
He had met Guanyin Pusa before, and knew that she was indeed a very kind immortal buddha. Her white buddha world was evidence enough of her goodness, perhaps unparalleled in this world.
"Grandmaster, please forgive my disobedience."
Wu Yu shook his head and explained: "Guanyin Pusa has been in Nanhai World, separate from the matters of the world for a long time. I think she must wish to be free of the matters of the two immortal domains. I fear it might not be too appropriate for me to bring Grandmaster over."
"No matter."
Xuanzang shook his head with a smile. "Wu Yu, you have nothing to fear. I was just suggesting. There is indeed something that you can do for me, however."
"What is it?" Wu Yu asked.
"Besides Guanyin Pusa, there is another Heavenly Buddha's Domain person in Heavenly Domain. Perhaps he is not the equal of Guanyin Pusa, but he too can change the situation of Heavenly Buddha's Domain."
"Of course, this too requires his life, but he was a betrayer of the Heavenly Buddha's Domain, and had turned coat to the Jade Emperor's side. He is currently in the 10,000 Levels of Hell, a hidden power in their ranks. His name is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Earth Matrix buddha!"
Wu Yu's brow furrowed in thought.
It was the same life-sacrifice, but now it was not the kind and good Guanyin Pusa, but the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva instead.

He seemed to be a completely different character from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Pusa had hidden herself before the great fight, separating herself from the matters of the world, and keeping her purity. Perhaps she was waiting for a chance.
However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had turned sides and was now positioned in Hell!
"Since that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva betrayed the Heavenly Buddha's Domain and went to the Jade Emperor, he will probably not agree to help the Heavenly Buddha's Domain and rebuild the Immortal Buddha World Core, right?" Wu Yu pointed out doubtfully.
"No matter. I can capture him and use his buddha world to reforge the World Core. At the same time, the immortal buddhas will regain a part of their sanity. Once it succeeds, the situation in Heavenly Buddha's Domain will improve considerably."
Xuanzang continued: "Wu Yu, are you willing to take your grandmaster to Hell to capture the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
Wu Yu thought it over.
If it had been any ordinary immortal emperor or immortal buddha, he felt that it was not fair to sacrifice them for the sake of Heavenly Buddha's Domain.
After all, every person's life had worth, and there was no excuse to force a sacrifice.
But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was a traitor of the Heavenly Buddha's Domain!
He was responsible for the destruction of the Immortal Buddha World Core as well!
There was no goodwill towards him then. Besides, he was now part of the target group that Wu Yu had sworn revenge on, for the destruction of Demon Immortal Realm, and the deaths of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal and his companions. Wu Yu would claim that blood debt sooner or later anyway.
"Since the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has changed sides to the Jade Emperor and even sits in the 10,000 Levels of Hell, then he is responsible for the crimes at Demon Immortal Realm and for the deaths of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal and the others as well!"
"It is only just that his own life be used to stabilize the Heavenly Buddha's Domain."
Wu Yu decided.
He knew that Xuanzang respected his choice and decision greatly.
He had even given up on the idea of persuading Guanyin Pusa after Wu Yu had expressed unwillingness.
Therefore, Wu Yu believed that if he refused to take Xuanzang to find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Xuanzang would not say anything either.
It was solely his own decision.
Being honest with himself, Wu Yu wanted revenge. He had only seen the annihilation of Demon Immortal Realm through the Eternal Emperor Tomb's images, not firsthand, and still it was fresh and clear in his memory.
The years had not dulled the savagery and cruelty of those times.
"Alright, grandmaster. Let's go to 10,000 Levels of Hell in the Heavenly Domain!"
Wu Yu made his decision with great solemnity.
He too hoped that the Immortal Buddha World Core could be repaired quickly in the Heavenly Buddha's Domain, and normality restored.

Led by Rachel DuValle, a perpetually underestimated college student with grand ambitions, they seek to found a new society. The world beyond suspects nothing, but magic cannot stay hidden forever. A train arrives in Rallsburg carrying Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate. To him, magic could represent meaning for his life, an explanation for his empty existence.
