The moment Goddess Houtu said that, Great Brahma was dumbfounded. He originally thought that even if he couldn't legally turn the Asura World into a Buddhist sect, he would obtain the right to preach here. With Patriarch Blood River's prestige, the Asura Race here would sooner or later become Buddhist disciples. At that time, even if they didn't belong to the Buddhist sect in name, it was equivalent to obtaining the right to preach here.
However, Goddess Houtu saw through Great Brahma's thoughts at a glance and simply allowed him to bring the converted Asura Race away, thus breaking Great Brahma's dream!
Great Brahma was naturally unwilling to give up so easily, so he said again, "Goddess, you're wrong. They are all living beings born and raised here. How can they move as they wish?"
At this moment, Song Zhong also knew that Goddess Houtu wasn't good with words, so he quickly said, "Since they have converted to Buddhism, it means that they yearn for the Pure Land in their hearts. Naturally, they have to leave with you!"
"That's right, that's right!" Goddess Houtu didn't know how to quibble at first, but now that she heard Song Zhong's words, she was naturally happy to nod her head in praise. The two of them exchanged a look, both of them feeling satisfied with this wonderful cooperation.
On the other hand, Great Brahma was so angry that his face turned green. He couldn't help but say angrily, "There are so many Asura Race people with their families. How can they all be transported to the Pure Land? Do you know how far the Pure Land is from here? "
Indeed, the Pure Land of the West was hundreds of worlds away from here. Back then, Song Zhong had to fly for several months to make a trip. At that time, Song Zhong's strength was already not low. Moreover, he flew very quickly by himself.
If it had been the Asura Tribe, with their families numbering in the tens of thousands, most of them would have died even before the demons and ghosts along the way attacked them!
As SongZhong heard that, he only smiled and said, "Since they only have the Pure Land in their hearts, no matter how far the journey is, they will definitely reach it to show their sincerity. This is also a test for them!"
"You ~" Great Brahma was instantly infuriated by Song Zhong's words. If it weren't for the fact that he was worried about Goddess Houtu, he would have long attacked Song Zhong.
However, Song Zhong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to his anger. He just continued, "Moreover, up until now, there has only been one guy in the Asura Clan who betrayed the Immortal Realm. Although his prestige was not low in the past, now that his faith has changed, his identity has to change as well!"
Upon hearing this, Great Brahma and Patriarch Blood River were shocked. Even Goddess Houtu was surprised. She didn't know what Song Zhong was up to.
After all, this matter concerned the foundation of the Blood River Patriarch, so he was the first to jump out and question, "Song Zhong, what do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is very simple!" Song Zhong said unhurriedly, "Since you have become a monk and become a Buddha, it means that you have jumped out of the three realms and are no longer in the five elements. In that case, the position of the Asura Tribe's patriarch is not suitable for you! "
As soon as Song Zhong said this, everyone understood that he was forcing Patriarch Blood River to abdicate his position! As long as Patriarch Blood River lost this status, his prestige in the Asura Clan would drop to the extreme. At that time, as long as the new Patriarch was biased towards the Immortal World, it wouldn't be difficult for him to make most of the Asura Clan stay.
After all, the road to the Western Pure Land was too far, and the road was not safe. Perhaps not many people would be willing to leave their homes and go so far to seek refuge in Buddhism.
Of course, even if he lost his position as the patriarch, Patriarch Blood River's personal prestige was still there. He could still influence some people, but the number was definitely not many.
If they really chose a new Asura King who was highly respected and had a heart towards the Celestial World, then Great Brahma's plan to annex the Asura World would be completely ruined!
Therefore, when Great Brahma heard this, he immediately frowned and was extremely worried. Goddess Houtu's eyes lit up and immediately shouted, "That's right. Since Patriarch Blood River has become a monk, he is no longer suitable to be the patriarch of the Asura Tribe. It's time to change the patriarch of the Asura Tribe to a more suitable one!"
Of course, Great Brahma couldn't sit idly by and watch such a thing happen. He hurriedly stopped her, "I'm afraid that's not good, right? You and I are both outsiders. How can we decide the internal affairs of the Asura Tribe? "
"That's right!" Patriarch Blood River also shouted, "You don't have to worry about the internal affairs of my Asura Tribe!"
Without waiting for Goddess Houtu to say anything, Song Zhong immediately pretended to be sad and angry and shouted, "Aiyo, my father-in-law, why don't you treat me as one of your own so quickly? If Xue 'er heard this, how sad would she be! "
When Patriarch Blood River heard this, he was almost angered to death. On the other hand, Goddess Houtu burst out laughing and said, "That's right, Patriarch Blood River. This is your fault! A son-in-law is equivalent to half a son. How can you treat him as an outsider? "
When Great Brahma and Patriarch Blood River heard this, they smiled bitterly and were speechless.
Indeed, if it were anyone else, Patriarch Blood River could use the excuse that outsiders were not allowed to interfere with the internal affairs of the Asura Tribe to send them away. Even if it were Goddess Houtu, he would not be able to do so!
But now, SongZhong actually married the youngest daughter of Ancestor Blood River and became his son-in-law. As the son of Ancestor Blood River, he did indeed have the qualifications to participate in the affairs of the Asura Clan.
Helpless, Patriarch Blood River could only quibble, "Son-in-law doesn't count. You didn't marry into the family!"
"Alright!" Song Zhong immediately said, "The son-in-law doesn't count, but the daughter does, right? I'll officially announce that I'm representing my wife in this matter. That should be fine, right? "
"This …" Patriarch Blood River was stunned for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "Xue 'er can't do it either. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. She's no longer a member of my family, so she naturally can't count!"
"Haha, you're wrong!" Song Zhong immediately laughed and said, "It's true that Xue 'er isn't a member of your family, but she's still an Asura, right? You can't say that she's not an Asura just because she's married, right? "
"I didn't say that she's not an Asura. I only said that she's not a member of my family!" Patriarch Blood River hurriedly corrected him.
"Haha, that's right!" Song Zhong immediately laughed and said, "The matter of appointing a new king is a major matter of the entire Asura Tribe. As long as you're an Asura, you can participate. This has nothing to do with whether you're a member of your family or not. Your family can't represent the entire Asura Tribe!"
In fact, the strength of Patriarch Blood River's family could really represent the entire Asura Tribe. But now that SongZhong was speaking on behalf of the entire Asura Tribe, Ancestor Blood River would also be embarrassed to say that his entire family was from the Asura Tribe.
At this time, Patriarch Blood River finally realized that he had been fooled. He was so angry that he shouted, "Song Zhong, as long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about the matters of the Asura Tribe!"
"But the problem is that you're no longer here." Song Zhong shrugged and said, "Haven't you already converted to Buddhism? After jumping out of the three realms, you should abandon all worldly things and focus on serving Buddha! Therefore, the matters of the Asura Tribe have nothing to do with you anymore! "
Patriarch Blood River was so angry that he was at a loss for words. Although he wanted to cry out his grievances and say that he was merely feigning civility with the Buddhists and that he wasn't sincere in joining them, how could he dare say that in front of Armageddon Great Brahma? He could only sulk by the side.
When Great Brahma saw this, he hurriedly said, "Song Zhong, don't just talk about him. Aren't you also a Joyful Buddha of our Buddhist faith?"
"That's different. Back then, I was forced. Now, I can announce in front of you that I'm withdrawing. I'm no longer that dogshit Joyful Buddha!" Song Zhong then said to Patriarch Blood River with a smile, "I just don't know if this person dares to say the same. If he dares, I'll admit that he's still the patriarch of the Asura Tribe! "
"That's right. I can also admit it!" Goddess Houtu added.
Patriarch Blood River's face turned green when he heard that. If he dared say that in front of a ferocious person like Great Brahma, wouldn't Great Brahma instantly kill him?
Therefore, helpless, Patriarch Blood River could only hurriedly say, "What nonsense are you talking about? Since I've already converted to Buddhism, I'll forever be a Buddhist disciple. How can I betray you?"
Everyone present could tell that Patriarch Blood River was just a stopgap measure. He didn't have any sincerity at all. He was clearly lying through his teeth. As such, both Goddess Houtu and SongZhong revealed looks of disdain.
On the other hand, Great Brahma knew that Patriarch Blood River was spouting nonsense, but he nodded with a smile to express his approval.
Song Zhong couldn't be bothered to watch this hypocritical pair of fellows perform, so he said, "Alright, I think there's no need for us to argue here. Let the Asura Tribe make their own decisions! Three days later, a meeting will be held on Blood Lotus Island. All the tribal chiefs of the Asura Tribe will be invited. When the time comes, they will decide the choice of patriarch and whether they will stay or leave! How about it? "
"I think it's fine!" Goddess Houtu nodded and said, "If they are willing to convert to Buddhism and return to the Pure Land with you, we will definitely not make things difficult for them! But if they have other choices, then I hope that Saint Brahma won't interfere! "
Great Brahma knew that his martial strength was inferior to Goddess Houtu's, so there was no point in arguing any further. It was better to start from other places. As long as those tribal chiefs compromised under Patriarch Blood River's pressure, it would be equivalent to him winning a round. Therefore, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it this way!"
