"Act according to the plan," Wei Ge ordered expressionlessly.
"Yes." A few Censors from the bureau carefully walked towards the tower.
The hermit and Cave Era watched from the side the entire time. Only after the Censors entered the tower did Cave Era look at Wei Ge and say, "Chief Wei, those should be the capable subordinates of the bureau, right? If they were to die here, the bureau's losses would probably not be small. "
Wei Ge said respectfully, "Your Excellency, you're overthinking things. As an Censor, we have to have the awareness of sacrificing our lives for the Federation. Furthermore, I'm very confident in my subordinates. They will definitely return safely."
Cave Era and the hermit exchanged looks and didn't say anything else.
In fact, they knew very well that it was impossible for the Censors to return. They were sacrifices to begin with. Only by sacrificing them could the plan continue.
Wei Ge also knew this very well, but in order to advance his Guardian, he would rather send his subordinates to their deaths. Furthermore, he didn't even blink. It was as though the deaths of his subordinates were no different from the deaths of ants in his eyes.
Cave Era found it difficult to understand why such a cold, selfish, and cruel fellow could make all the Censors follow him so loyally and obey his orders.
Not long after, they heard a shrill scream coming from the tower. A strange light lit up at the top of the strange tower.
"It's finally here …" The hermit looked at the light at the top of the tower as a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Is that the legendary Heaven?" Wei Ge narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself as he looked at the gradually glowing tower.
The hermit nodded and said, "That's right. That's indeed Heaven. That Empress used it to sense Heaven and Man. It's said to be the place closest to Heaven. Some people also call it the Towering Pagoda."
Wei Ge stared at Heaven and continued asking, "According to what I know, that Empress was only an ordinary human. No matter how noble her status was back then, she shouldn't have become an immortal-like existence, right?"
"The emperor of the mortal world indeed doesn't have the right to become a legend, much less a Calamity-grade existence after death." Hermit paused for a moment before saying, "However, the one in Heaven isn't that Empress."
"Not the Empress?" Wei Ge was slightly taken aback as his face was filled with confusion.
Both Fairy's Capital and Heaven were unique to the empress. It was hard to believe that the owner of this place was not her.
Other than her, who else had the right to be the king of the Fairy's Capital and occupy heaven?
As the two of them spoke, the light in the Heavenly Hall grew brighter and brighter, almost enveloping the entire Heavenly Hall.
The hermit was in a good mood as he stared at Heaven and explained, "No matter how strong a human is, they are at most Legendary or Epic. It's impossible for them to advance to the Mythical stage. The Empress was also a human, so she was naturally no exception. Furthermore, even if she became a Mythical, she wouldn't have been able to live until now, much less advance to the Calamity Grade. "
When Wei Ge heard the hermit's words, he looked at the light in heaven and seemed to think of something, but he had no intention of saying it out loud.
When the hermit saw Wei Ge's expression, he knew that he had guessed something, so he said, "Since you've already thought of something, tell me. Let me see if you're right."
Wei Ge pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that there's a Buddha statue in Dragon Gate Grotto called Lushna Buddha. It's carved according to the Empress's face."
When the hermit heard Wei Ge say that, he immediately laughed. "You're indeed a smart person. Lushna means illumination, and the name that the Empress gave herself has the word Lushna. It's basically the same as Lushna's meaning."
"So, is there really a Lushna Buddha in Heaven?" Wei Ge's expression changed slightly.
If the one in Heaven was really Lushna Buddha, it would be truly terrifying.
Buddhas had three bodies, and Lushna Buddha was one of them. His name was Sambhogakaya, and he was a Buddha of absolute truth and wisdom.
In other words, Lushna Buddha and the well-known Sakyamuni Buddha were a trinity of Buddhas. They could be considered one of the top Buddhas in Buddhism.
"Buddhas have benevolent hearts. If it's really Lushna Buddha, why would there be a need to use living people as sacrifices?" Wei Ge felt that there were some loopholes in the hermit's words.
"Have you never heard of the saying that Buddha is born from the heart, Director-General Wei?" The hermit continued, "The so-called Buddha is a mirror. However, this Buddha mirror doesn't reflect a person, but the heart. If your heart is good, then Buddha is good. If your heart is evil, then Buddha is a hundred times more evil than you … Whether you're a Buddha or a devil is actually a matter of a single thought … "
Wei Ge said in enlightenment, "So, if this Calamity creature is born safely, then he might be a kind Buddha and won't cause too much disaster?"
"That's right." The hermit said with a smile, "That's naturally not what I want to see. That's why I got you to bring him here so that he won't become a kind Buddha. I need him to become a terrifying devil."
As the two of them spoke, the Buddhist light in Heaven was already so intense that they couldn't look at it directly. They heard the sound of a door as though someone had walked out of Heaven.
Wei Ge focused his eyes and realized that the person who came out was a bhikkhuni wearing a white monk robe.
She walked over step by step as though she was accompanied by pure moonlight. She didn't look like the devil that the hermit had mentioned.
"She doesn't look like a devil," Wei Ge said as he looked at the bhikkhuni.
"Of course not. If she's already a devil, we won't be able to escape death," the hermit said indifferently. "But when she walks out of the Divine Capital, she will definitely become a devil."
"Why is that?" Wei Ge was even more puzzled.
"Because you are here." The hermit laughed.
"Me?" Wei Ge was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, you. If your heart is like Buddha, then Buddha will always be present. If your heart is like a devil, then the devil will naturally descend into the world. For someone like Chief Wei, who has a heart like a devil, she will definitely become a devil if her heart is in sync with that bhikkhuni …" the hermit said as he looked at Wei Ge.
"What do you need me to do?" Wei Ge asked.
"You don't need to do anything. You just need to let her see you after she leaves the Divine Capital."
Seeing Wei Ge's confused expression, the hermit smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Then don't bother thinking about it. You will naturally understand when the time comes. Let's wait for her outside the Divine Capital. "
The Cave Era had already activated the power of time and brought Wei Ge and the hermit out of the Divine Capital.
As for the bhikkhuni, she was still slowly walking forward. Wherever she passed, the ancient soldiers that resembled humans and ghosts returned to dust as though they had been freed.
