The hall quietened down once more. However, they weren't thinking about it because of their doubts.
The few of them looked at each other, and could see that they already had an answer.
Only, this answer made everyone feel a little depressed.
"The Nine Underworlds' next round doesn't only concern the Grand Heavenly Immortals fighting for the Dao Realm's fortune, but it's also the moment where the East Sovereign and the Amitabha Buddha will fight it out?" Nezha subconsciously licked his lips.
Yan Zhaoge leaned against the chair and looked up at the ceiling of the hall, "Indeed. This round of the Nine Underworlds might end this era prematurely!"
Generally speaking, an epoch was 129,600 years.
When the time limit was up, the era would automatically change, and the heavens and earth would change.
All those that hadn't attained the Golden Immortal Realm would transform into ash along with the change of the Creation Era and become the dust of the era.
Even the Grand Virtual Immortals of the Five Qis Unifications who had a lifespan of one yuan would reach the end of their lives prematurely and perish.
Only the top-notch bigwigs above the Grand Virtual Realm would be able to avoid the natural Great Tribulation of the Heavens and Earth that occurred once every 129,600 years.
However, due to some special reasons, the era might end prematurely. Before 129,600 years were up, the current era would end, and the next era would begin.
For example, when a Dao Realm bigwig transcended, the heavens and earth would tremble, and the Great Dao would be overturned. An era would end prematurely, and the next era would begin.
"The Nine Underworlds' rebellion against the Creation Era is bound to be a huge event. It might accelerate the end of this era," said Yang Jian slowly. "The East Sovereign and the Amitabha Buddha are already prepared. To prevent any accidents from happening, they might forcefully push for this moment to come."
"Especially the East Sovereign." Feng Yunsheng continued, "As long as Maitreya Buddha is alive, Amitabha Buddha will be slower than His Majesty Donghuang. His Majesty Donghuang is fully prepared. The earlier this era ends, the better."
As long as that moment arrived, and the Maitreya Buddha was still alive, he would be able to delay the Amitabha Buddha, and the East Sovereign Taiyi would obtain victory.
On the other hand, if Amitabha successfully eliminated Maitreya Buddha in this round, then he would not need to compete with Eastern Emperor Taiyi. He would automatically win, and the one who transcended would be him, not Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"According to what the Grand Master, the Grand Clear, and the Jade Clear ancestors said, the number of Transcendents is very likely limited." Yang Jian muttered to himself, "While the exact number is uncertain, it is definitely not a lot."
"That's right. That's why the Nine Underworlds is so hateful. If they succeed, the Twelve Devilish Gods might very well leave together, with the Six Supreme Devils completing a miraculous transformation at the final moment. This is a miracle unique to the Nine Underworlds." Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng looked at each other and said slowly.
Feng Yunsheng's expression was calm and she did not say anything.
"If His Majesty the East Monarch and Buddha Amitabha are going to decide the final victor in the Nine Underworlds, then the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha will definitely not stay out of it." Nezha said, "Even if they can't win this epoch, they will have to make preparations for the next epoch."
As for the attitude of the Future Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, it was still hard to say.
Especially for the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the situation was the most subtle.
It was the same for the Future Buddha, just that he had less room to maneuver.
The Nine Underworlds' attitude was something to ponder too. Of course, what they had to consider the most was that while others wanted to make use of them, they would definitely target them first at the most crucial moment, not allowing the Nine Underworlds to cross their bottom line.
How to cross their enemies' bottom line and reap the rewards themselves, or how to prevent losses and preserve themselves in case of failure were the problems the Nine Underworlds faced.
"If the East Monarch Taiyi and the Buddha Amitabha are going to decide the final victor, the Nine Underworlds might be their hidden ally," said Yan Zhaoge softly.
The other three nodded in agreement.
After death, who cares about the heavens?
In other words, after Transcending, who cares about the Nine Underworlds' heavens?
This was not impossible. On the contrary, it was a very real problem.
Of course, whether it was the East Monarch Taiyi or the Buddha Amitabha, even if they really wanted to Transcend, they would fully support their subordinates in vying for the chance to ascend to the Dao Realm this time.
On one hand, it was to consolidate their own forces. On the other, it was to stay behind to take care of them after they Transcended.
If they could fight for it, of course they would, but that wouldn't affect the two Daofathers contacting each other and fighting for more allies.
"If all other conditions are the same, the Nine Underworlds would definitely be more willing to help Amitabha." At this moment, Feng Yunsheng spoke up, "Let's take a step back and say that the Nine Underworlds' plan failed this time. They should try their best to protect themselves and wait for the next opportunity. In that case, Amitabha Buddha's transcendence will be more beneficial to them."
Yan Zhaoge and the others simultaneously exclaimed, "Faceless Heavenly Devil!"
In the previous deal, Amitabha gave up the authority of the Faceless Heavenly Demon, allowing it to return to the Nine Underworlds.
However, as long as Amitabha Buddha was still alive, it would be difficult for the Faceless Heavenly Devil to truly be born.
Once Amitabha Buddha transcended, the Faceless Sky Devil would be able to descend into the Nine Underworlds, allowing the Nine Underworlds to truly have another Dao Realm expert, the first ancestor of the demonic path.
Moreover, Amitabha's transcendence meant that Maitreya Buddha had fallen.
In this world, other than the Nine Underworlds' demonic path, there were two fewer Dao Ancestors. As the public enemy, the Nine Underworlds had even fewer potential enemies to face.
"Since this huge change would cause the epoch to change in advance, the Nine Underworlds might not be able to survive." Yan Zhaoge's gaze turned cold, "We can't allow them to make a comeback either."
"Everyone is about to be dragged into this. It's hard to differentiate who's friend and who's foe. The situation is constantly changing," said Yang Jian as he pondered.
He noticed Nezha gritting his teeth and looking at him, then at Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
Yang Jian smiled, "Just say what you want to say."
"The Eastern Sovereign told us the truth of the past and told us about his and Amitabha Buddha's current situation. I can also tell what he's planning. He just wants us to help him." Nezha said, "During the Great Calamity that year, tracing back to its source, it could actually be said to be a conflict between the two Daoist Ancestors, causing our Daoism's calamity together. However, in comparison, I would rather help His Majesty the Eastern Sovereign than help the Amitabha Buddha who personally created the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Yang Jian looked at Nezha and said warmly, "Other than the Dao Ancestors fighting for transcendence, a few Grand Heavenly Realm Daoists will also be fighting for the opportunity to ascend to the Dao Realm."
"Who wins and who loses will directly affect the situation of the next era. If it's mixed with the Dao Ancestor's issue of transcendence, there would be many different outcomes. As such, we need to carefully consider our choice."
Nezha nodded and shook his head hatefully, "No matter which side I help, it'll be frustrating!"
"Perhaps …" Yan Zhaoge suddenly said, "We don't need any help from either side."
