My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 226 Mara's Great Compassion!

You dare to snatch someone right in front of me?
Dark Web snorted and manipulated the network cable to block Bo Xun's view.

[You just agreed to this kid's conditions so easily? And those people just went and got away?]

【Alas…why do you all always think I’m a murderer! Buddha is compassionate, and so am I. Wasn’t it me who donated to the largest Hope School in the Three Realms? I’ve also been spreading various moral classics from different versions over the centuries for free. And when disasters occur, I send my inner demons down to the mortal realm to help save people…】

[Dark Web Daoist, I am a universally acknowledged philanthropist throughout the Three Realms! So if I can save those people, I would be happy to do so.]

Mara's voice was full of compassion and mercy.

But for some reason, it made me shudder and feel all sorts of inexplicable malice!

Li Wei's mind surged with thunderous power, and he attained enlightenment, quickly discerning the truth behind Mara's "compassion."

If people have no hope, they will become numb and indifferent; how can they feel true despair?

Therefore, it is only natural to establish schools for children in need!
If people do not read the classics and do not know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, they are no different from beasts, pigs and dogs. How can they have all the troubles of life?

Simple difficulties, no matter how great, have their limits. But if a person develops ambition through reading, it's a completely different story. What was originally an ordinary hardship will become hell, and he will torment himself!

Therefore, we must pass on the classics!

Let the beings who are like wild beasts be educated by the saints, so that they will become “human beings” with feelings, shame, joy and anger, and will know birth, old age, sickness and death, and will suffer from being with those they hate, being separated from those they love, and not getting what they want, and will be filled with the five aggregates!
Furthermore, a "person" cannot die. If they die in suffering, wouldn't that be a direct release? How could they then suffer in disasters and provide food for the demons?

Therefore, Mara is compassionate, and he must be compassionate!

Killing people is of little significance to Him; saving, educating, and bringing people to life are what demonstrate His divine power!

The Buddha's compassion is meant to liberate sentient beings from suffering in the burning house, while Mara's compassion is meant to cause sentient beings to suffer in the burning house.

Different goals, but the same methods.
The goal is for people to live, and to live better!

That's why he agreed to Li Wei's deal without hesitation!
"Buddha and demon are one. So that's how it is." Li Wei experienced all of this, and the thunder magic in his body became active, and a special charm as if he had attained enlightenment appeared on his body.

Seeing this, Mara smiled slightly: "This kid truly possesses a demonic nature, that's right! Those who are alive suffer the most, and are the most desperate!"

Therefore, I encourage all beings to live more than Buddha, more than the Heavenly Court, and more than anyone else in the world, and to live with hope!

Without sentient beings, where would demons come from?
Without hope, how can there be despair?
Mara clasped his hands together and murmured, "The world is like a burning house, all beings suffer. Even if I agree to spare these people, where can they escape to?"

[A moment's attempt to save one's life will inevitably lead to tenfold suffering; I am willing to embrace that suffering!]

Therefore, I will give you time to save them, Livy. You will lead them out of their homelessness, lead them to escape despair, lead them to continue their struggle and suffering under my war robes, and fulfill the compassion I have given!

Li Wei was "enlightened" by the Demon Ancestor.
They gained a deeper understanding of cause and effect, good and evil!
"Although I personally initiated the evil consequences and suffered the fire of karma, I was also able to gain merit from the unseen world because of my intention to save people. Both doing evil and doing good were my actions and were all in the same thing, but I simultaneously received both good and evil results. How exactly is good and evil defined?"

Is saving someone always a good thing?
You know, the hardest thing in the world is to live. So today Li Wei saved a person, and that person may suffer ten, a hundred, or even ten thousand times more pain than death in the future. If he looked back at the present from the perspective of the future, would he actually hope to die in the war and be freed from this suffering sooner?
Cause and effect are intertwined; good and evil are one; a life of mere survival and suffering.

In the end, it all boils down to four big characters.
The world is like a burning house!

Li Wei was just one of the beings suffering in the burning house. No matter what good or evil he did, he could not escape the laws of the world in the end. So he simply did not want to understand it anymore. Let all the cause and effect, good and evil, get out of my way!
I will seek my own path!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to cooperate with the Dark Web and Mara to complete this performance.

As a chess piece, one should have the awareness of being a chess piece!
So Li Wei asked, "What should I do next?"

Mara grew increasingly fond of this man. This "unenlightened" mind already bore the marks of "Sun Wukong." If nurtured, he might have the opportunity to inherit his mantle and become the new Demon Ancestor.

Vaguely,
Mara truly felt a desire to guide Li Wei into demonic possession.

However, He also knew that now was not the time to think about this. This war against the Heavenly Court could only succeed and could not fail, so even He had to be fully focused.

[Li Wei! In fifteen seconds, that Nascent Soul cultivator named Mu Tianshui will be able to seal my demonic son. At that time, I will send a demon god to descend first to lull the Heavenly Court into a false sense of security.]

[Use this as an excuse to activate the Thunder Tribulation System of the Thunder Department in Sirius City, which will allow you to reconnect to the Heavenly Court. Once the Heavenly Court confirms the situation here, they will definitely send a deity down to the mortal realm. But no matter who they send, no matter how high their rank, I will find a way to beat them half to death.]

"Then you can activate the Ancestral Decree and summon the Ancestral Deity to the mortal realm, and I'll be able to kill two gods!"

Mara wants to maximize his own gains, otherwise the ancestral divine edict would be wasted.

"Then how should I leave?"

[When my ancestor descends to the mortal realm, I will open an escape route for you in the west, sending you to the outskirts of Tianlang City. You will then have ten hours to mobilize the people to leave. After ten hours, I will sweep across half of Zhongzhou!]

"it is good!"

As the words fell, the dark web and Mara disappeared.

The special power that had been surrounding Li Wei also dissipated, allowing him to return to the public's "perception".

The group of officials then remembered that they had a leader present, so they hurriedly said, "Hahaha! Inspector Li, Lord Mu has successfully sealed away the Child Demon. We have truly accomplished a great feat!"

A demonic spirit at the Nascent Soul stage is the seed of a future demon god.

So in their report, they could easily write that they prevented the appearance of an evil god! Wouldn't they deserve a lot of credit then?
For a moment, everyone became incredibly excited, feeling that their trip to Sirius City was now completely secure.

Looking at these guys grinning foolishly, Li Wei couldn't help but envy their ignorance. If these guys were to welcome the arrival of the gods without knowing anything, wouldn't that be a good thing?

But how could someone as good at sharing as Li Wei bear the pressure alone?

So he mercilessly revealed the cruel truth, saying to the assembled thunder officials, "Since you are all so happy, then you must be prepared to face the demon god, right?"

The smiles on the faces of the cultivators froze instantly.

"Inspector Li, you just mentioned a demon god?"

"That's right! I didn't want to tell you, but now it seems I have no choice but to."

Li Wei activated his thunder magic, and in the void, he sketched a dark Buddha figure. With one hand, he held up part of the forest of the Southern Toad Demon State, and with the other hand, he held up the Central State's Tianlang City in the endless fog, sitting upright between heaven and earth.

"When I was breaking free from the forest, I saw a demon god descending. Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon."

As if to prove Li Wei's words, the endless mist above Sirius City suddenly dispersed, followed by a loud tearing sound from the sky, and a huge crack appeared in front of everyone's stunned expressions.

Endless chanting of Buddhist hymns came from outside the crack.
Everyone could clearly see a Buddha in a kasaya walking towards them, but the Buddha possessed no trace of Buddhahood; instead, he exuded a terrifying killing intent that could freeze one's soul. "A demon?!"

Mu Tianshui exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding why Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group had brought him to this place.

So they're using him as a stopper to plug a leak, trying to get him to stop the gods from crossing over!

Thinking of this,

Mu Tianshui suddenly appeared in front of Li Wei: "You brat, since you brought me out with you, you must have some backup plan prepared by Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, right? If you do, hurry up and take it out, or we're all doomed!"

Li Wei nodded: "I do indeed possess the ancestral divine edict."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Very good!
As long as the divine decree exists, there is still hope for everyone.

However, after their initial relief, the Nascent Soul stage henchmen from other large corporations quickly developed a strange look in their eyes, especially those from the pharmaceutical companies, who now looked at Li Wei with a hint of resentment.

It's both a Nascent Soul cultivator and a divine edict from the ancestral god Yu.

So, it seems you, Inspector Li, already reached an agreement with Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, right?

If we had known this would happen, why the hell would we have come here to risk our lives for you?!

That damn little fox, it hid itself so well!

Despite their anger, everyone still needed Li Wei's divine decree to save their lives, so they hurriedly flattered him, saying, "Then what are you waiting for, Inspector Li? The demon god is about to descend, let's summon the Yu Ancestor quickly!"

"Do you think I don't want to? I just tried, but the Divine Edict of the Ancestral Emperor didn't respond. This area is likely blocking the signal of the Divine Edict."

In reality, Li Wei did not activate the divine edict at all; he was just making up an excuse.

Considering that the timeline of Sirius City was affected by a loophole in the Monkey King's creation,

In addition, Li Wei was known as a "deceitful and fraudulent person" because his lies were more convincing than the truth, so no one suspected anything.

"What should we do then? Even if Lord Mu is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he can't possibly be a match for a god. If this continues, we'll be trapped like turtles in a jar by the demon god!"

The emotions that had just stabilized were showing signs of collapsing again.

Li Wei then pretended to think for a moment before saying, "At this point, we have no choice but to take the risk! Minister Zhu, please activate the lightning tribulation system in Sirius City immediately!"

Zhu Siqi was taken aback: "But those demons have clearly tampered with the Heavenly Dao's IP address. If it starts randomly..."

Do we have any other options now?

"."

Zhu Siqi sighed heavily and said, "I understand!"

He rushed over to operate the machine and activate the Heavenly Tribulation System.

Li Wei then turned to Mu Tianshui and said, "Senior Mu, if the Tribulation System is activated, we should be able to reconnect with the Heavenly Court. I will use the Ancestral Divine Edict as soon as possible. Until then, I will have to trouble you to buy us as much time as possible."

Looking at the demon god crossing realms in the sky, Mu Tianshui said speechlessly, "According to the contract, this kind of thing should cost extra!"

"No problem! When we get back, I'll naturally have Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group reduce your debt."

"Ha! What position do you hold at Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group? Do you think I can trust you?"

"I'm just a minor consultant at Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, but I have this!"

Li Wei took out the jade talisman of the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy and said, "This thing should be able to prove my words, right?"

"So you're the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy. No wonder you can command so many people at such a young age. But kid! I can only hold you off for three minutes at most. If you still can't activate the Ancestral Divine Edict after three minutes, then we'll all be buried with you this time."

After Mu Tianshui finished speaking, he rushed into the sky, activated his cultivation, laws, and immortal techniques, and used all his strength to point at the crack in the sky!
"Order it for me!!"

Immortal Technique - Immobilization Spell in effect.

The demon god who was crossing over was suddenly frozen in mid-air.

However, the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is ultimately limited and insignificant compared to a true god. So soon, the demon god began to tremble and slowly approached Sirius City once again.

Everyone quickly surrounded Zhu Siqi, urging him repeatedly, "Old Zhu! Hurry up!"

"immediately!!"

With the final program input, the Thunder Department system was successfully connected, and the Thunder Department Heavenly Tribulation System in Sirius City was finally restarted.

Boom! !
Crimson lightning suddenly descended from the sky, illuminating the entire Sirius and dispelling all the surrounding mist.

next moment,
The vanished stars reappeared in the sky, and the long-lost celestial radiance once again shone over Sirius City. Countless people who had been hiding in the shadows came out and looked at the stars in the sky with tears of joy.

"Waaaaah! We're finally saved!"

"Don't be too happy yet. We've just returned to reality and reconnected to the Heavenly Court, but those demons are still there! And there are even demon gods!"

"Hiss! Everyone, quickly join me in praying, begging the gods of heaven to descend to earth and save people!"

So the surviving people in Sirius City knelt down and began to pray, calling on the gods of heaven for rescue.

The gods had been watching the situation in Sirius City for a long time, but due to the obstruction of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Great Sage Demon Heaven, they couldn't see it clearly. Now, with the cries of the people as a medium, they have finally seen the situation in Sirius City.

The city's myriad scenes came into view. The gods were about to take a closer look when a strange fluctuation of the power of law suddenly emanated from Sirius City. As a result, their gazes swept over the common people and ignored the demons hiding in the shadows, finally focusing on the Thunder Department of Sirius City.

Looking at the lightning tribulation system activated by Li Wei and the others.

The gods were suddenly plunged into darkness!
"Damn the rescue team, Fan Xiu! Didn't they realize this isn't a tribulation lightning system at all?!"
