Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2458 I am Sengoku, the protector of the World Government!
The military's overall combat capability assessment is in full swing.

The atmosphere didn't extend to Noah's Ark.

But Im still made time to spend with Stusi in the living room focusing on several key targets they cared about.

Tichy is certainly one of them.

"The Swamp-Swamp Fruit's power, a Logia-type fruit, looks pretty strong~"

Standing next to the sofa, Stusi chuckled as he saw Im's gaze lingering on the virtual screen showing Teach's battle.

"They even keep three 'mud dragons' as pets. What a great idea. It's a pity they're not ancient dragons."

These words made Im's thoughts wander slightly, wondering if there were any ancient dragons that liked swamps.

In a short period of time, he could only think of one dragon.

However, recently, the dragon race, led by Shenhe, has been cooperating with the World Ecological Association.

Search for ancient dragons throughout the world of Teigu and the starfish.

Once found, feed them artificial human-human fruits.

They were then brought into the Dragon Clan Academy for education and training.

After graduation, they will be arranged to join major organizations such as the World Ecological Association, the Association of Magical Creatures, and the Adventurers' Association.

However, the main purpose was to send them to the military to fight for the World Government in the myriad worlds.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Teach to tame an ancient dragon in the wild.

at the same time.

In other virtual screens.

Merleo Leona, Loki, Giyu Tomioka, Tsuchigumo, Whiteybe, and others.

They are currently engaged in a fierce battle with their respective opponents.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Im suddenly turned his head to look west.

Stussy looked puzzled: "What's wrong, Lord Im?"

"The guardian deity of the World Government is about to return to his rightful place."

The words fell.

Im's figure vanished instantly.

Stussy and the four Ubuyashiki sisters were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

This is a cruel yet great trial.

He is of supreme power.

He sealed away all his memories of himself and his power, which rivaled that of a god.

Only the core will, character, and obsession with justice remain.

Finally, he detached his own consciousness and entered into this 'God Space'.

I remember what He said back then.

I will experience a hundred lifetimes here.

In each lifetime, I will become a monk in a different fantasy world.

And without exception, they all have to endure extreme suffering and the mockery of fate.

really.

I was once Tang Sanzang of the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, a devout Buddhist, but I was born of mortal flesh and suffered many hardships.

He witnessed his apprentices fighting bloody battles for him, even falling into prison.

I have experienced the pain of helplessness and questioned the boundaries of compassion time and time again.

I was once Fahai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, who upheld the heavenly law that humans and demons should be separated.

He suppressed the 'snake demon' Bai Suzhen with the fierce look of a Vajra.

But ultimately, he died under Leifeng Pagoda amidst Xu Xian's infatuation and the criticism of the world.

They are contemplating the loneliness that comes with absolute justice and the profound paradox between emotion and law.

I was once the Venerable Bai Xin of Bailing Mountain, who dedicated my life to saving the world and performed countless meritorious deeds.

However, he failed to achieve a perfect passing away due to a slight fear of death before his death.

The soul was trapped and became a tool for Naraku to exploit.

To taste the bitterness of even saints having human weaknesses, and to reflect on the true meaning of perfection.

I was once the Zen Master Baiyun, who escorted the golden Buddha statue. I possessed profound cultivation and took it upon myself to subdue demons and monsters.

He discussed Taoism with Yan Chixia and fought against the thousand-year-old tree demon and the Black Mountain Demon.

They traverse the dark underworld, guarding the order of the human world.

Yet, amidst the bizarre and fantastical, one also contemplates the distinction between good and evil.

I even became the reincarnation of the God of Light, the son of the Goddess of the Ganges and the King of Blessed Body.

Vishma.

Experience his life from the moment he begins to babble as a baby.

In his childhood, he visited famous teachers all over the country under the guidance of his mother.

They gradually mastered all the scriptures and commentaries known to the Brahman, the teacher of the Asuras.

He learned all the true teachings of asceticism from Morgandej.

After reaching adulthood, he reunited with his father, King Fushen, and returned to Elephant City with him in the name of a heavenly oath.

But in order not to cause his father distress and heartbreak, he swore to the Ganges that he would never marry and never become king.

later.

He clearly possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and prestige.

However, they were forced to stand on the side of injustice, witnessing and participating in a brutal family war.

He was eventually riddled with arrows, and lying on the arrow bed, he upheld his oath until the very last moment of his life.

To deeply understand the ultimate dedication and sacrifice required to uphold absolute loyalty and duty above personal interests and even the principles of the world.

Each cycle of reincarnation.

I have been branded with a new identity, forgetting the past and starting over.

Only at the end of a certain lifetime.

Some may gain enlightenment through extreme suffering, while others may find clarity through unwavering faith.

Only then could they briefly break through the seal, recall the name 'Warring States', and understand that this was a trial.

however.

This clarity is but a fleeting spark.

Then his memories were sealed away again, plunging him into an even more difficult life.

And this life is already a hundred lifetimes.

He was an ascetic.

At the top of a sheer cliff, sitting cross-legged, it remains unmoved despite wind and rain erosion and lightning strikes.

The images of suffering through countless lifetimes are flashing rapidly through the deepest recesses of consciousness like a revolving lantern.

All of life's pain, struggles, awakenings, perseverance, and sacrifices.
finally.

The image of Bhishmana, so tragic, loyal, and sacrificing everything to uphold his duty, gradually overlapped with his own.

"I am a protector of the Dharma!"

"What law should be protected?"

"A Law to Protect the World!"

"Protect the justice I believe in!"

With each sentence spoken, the face of the Warring States period became clearer.

The radiance emanating from its body rapidly changed from silvery-white to golden-yellow.

"It is my duty, even if I am trapped in the deepest hell, my heart will never change!"

"This body may perish, but this will will not be broken!"

"I am Sengoku of the World Government, the Buddha King of the World Government!"

【boom----】

An unprecedented and immense light of enlightenment erupted from the core of his consciousness.

This time it was no longer a temporary recovery, but a complete shattering of the seal set up by Im.

The spiritual practice and insights gained by monks throughout the ages, the hardships and trials they endured, and the wisdom, will, and pursuit of justice characteristic of the Warring States period.

A perfect fusion and sublimation is taking place!
real world.

The slumbering body of the Warring States period suddenly emitted a dazzling Buddhist light.

A vast and powerful energy surge instantly swept across the entire villa.

It broke through layers of building barriers and spread outwards.

They even bypassed the barrier of this alternate dimension.

The sky of the Shikon Jewel world was dyed into an endless expanse of brilliant golden clouds.

This caused countless humans and demons living in various places to raise their shocked faces.

"This is."

Inside the Demon Capital Palace.

Instead of Kirinmaru who went to the starfish, Rukia temporarily took charge of the government, stepping out of the magnificent palace.

He looked up at the sky filled with Buddha's light with a solemn expression, but had no idea what was happening.

On Noah's Ark.

The consciousness of the Warring States period returned completely, and his eyes opened wide, no longer showing the occasional anxiety of the past.

Rather, it is the profound tranquility that comes from the sedimentation of countless years, and an undeniable quality.
A powerful and majestic presence, like that of a god or Buddha!

He stood up slowly.

Feeling the terrifying power within his body, far exceeding his previous imagination, and the torrent of memories from countless lifetimes.

Sengoku's eyes, however, were calm and resolute.

"Come to the Void Palace immediately."

Suddenly, Im's indifferent voice appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

He completely ignored the Buddhist realm that gave him the feeling of being above all others and supreme.

And another kind of power that should be invulnerable to all laws, the power of unwavering will.

Sengoku snapped out of his daze and silently replied in his mind, "I will obey Lord Im's will."

Im, seated on the throne of eternity and the void of creation, nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

It's alright, it didn't get too big.
