Watching Nezha, the story of Nezha's suicide in the Investiture of the Gods brought tears to my

"The events of the past are all history."

"Do not harbor resentment over this. When will the cycle of revenge end? We who cultivate ourselves should be compassionate and mindful of saving all sentient beings. Why bother with these past events?"

It's all in the past, why bother with this?

He's not Sun Wukong, going to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace!

Hearing the Buddha's words, the Arhats, though still harboring resentment, all suppressed their anger, clasped their hands together, and bowed their heads in response:

"I will follow the Buddha's teachings."

The gods and Buddhas were discussing endlessly about the Buddha's difficult past.

Then, a flash appeared in the sky, revealing two human figures.

The title where you can vote is located in the very center.

Who is more powerful, the Buddha Wutian or the Buddha Tathagata?

On the left is the Buddha Tathagata, whose Buddha-light shines brightly and is known to all gods and Buddhas in the world!

On the right, the Buddha Wutian resembles a black hole capable of swallowing all light!

The Buddha Wutian was tall and imposing, his posture upright and majestic, exuding an aura of oppression that was impossible to ignore.

He did not wear a cassock, but instead a long, pure black robe, as if night had fallen, so deep that not a single ray of light could be seen. The hem of the robe fluttered wildly in the wind, like the wings of a demon baring its fangs in the darkness.

Unlike the rounded and noble appearance of the Buddha Tathagata, the face of the Buddha Wutian has hard, chiseled lines, exuding a coldness and determination.

His eyes, beneath his brows, were like two burning black flames, deep and eerie. Wherever his gaze swept, it seemed to see through the deepest fears and desires in people's hearts, making them feel a chill the moment they met his eyes, as if their souls were about to be seen through and devoured.

His hair was as black as ink, cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, wild and unrestrained, like thorns growing wildly in the darkness.

...

Upon hearing this question, most immortals, Buddhas, and even mortals cast their votes for the Tathagata Buddha without hesitation.

"Who is Wutian? How dare he try to take advantage of Buddha?"

"I will never trust these guys I've never heard of again!"

"Who knows, it might be another clown like the Great Black Buddha Mother!"

"The Buddha's fame is widespread. He once suppressed Sun Wukong, who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, under the Five Elements Mountain. Could Wutian Buddha be some self-proclaimed wild monk?"

For most people, the name Wutian Buddha is just an unfamiliar one.

They had never heard of any deeds of the Buddha Wutian. In their limited understanding, the Buddha Tathagata was the symbol of the pinnacle of Buddhism and the supreme being.

Moreover, there was a comparison between the Great Black Buddha Mother and Sun Wukong, which caused a huge misunderstanding!

Therefore, when faced with this question, based on their existing knowledge, everyone chose the Buddha!

...

In the world of Journey to the West, on the journey to the west.

Without any hesitation, the four members of Tang Sanzang's group unanimously cast their votes for the Buddha.

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said with a devout expression:

"We traveled westward and endured eighty-one tribulations, all thanks to the guidance and protection of the Buddha."

"The Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and he is full of compassion. His wisdom and supernatural powers are beyond the reach of ordinary people. In the Buddhist path, the Tathagata Buddha is undoubtedly the pinnacle."

Tang Sanzang looked at the Buddha statue in the sky with eyes full of reverence.

Sun Wukong scratched the golden headband on his head and grinned:

"That's right. Back then, I, Old Sun, made a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. How majestic I was! Yet, I was easily suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years by the Buddha Tathagata with a simple flick of his hand. With such methods, that so-called Wutian Buddha is definitely no match for me."

Sun Wukong recalled his experience of being imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit the power of the Buddha.

Pigsy, with his round belly sticking out, muttered:

"Brother Monkey is right. The name of the Buddha is that of a great man with boundless magical power who saves all living beings."

Sha Wujing smiled憨厚ly, scratched his head, and said:

“Master and my two senior brothers are right.”

Without exception, all four members of the Tang Monk's group firmly believed that the Buddha's power far surpassed that of the Buddha Wutian.

After all, in their memories, the influence of the Buddha was omnipresent, and they had heard of his great power.

...

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor sat high on his dragon throne, his expression majestic. He frowned slightly and gave a soft snort:

"What kind of Buddha Wutian is this? How dare he take such a name? It sounds like he has no regard for the law."

“We have always known that the Buddha Tathagata has boundless power and profound Buddhist teachings. He is a holy Buddha revered by the Three Realms, so naturally the Buddha Tathagata is superior.”

The Jade Emperor's words were resounding and demonstrated his decisiveness.

The gods all nodded in agreement and voted for the Buddha.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

"The Buddha Tathagata is compassionate and saves the world. His prestige and power in the Three Realms are obvious to all. This Wutian Buddha must be an unknown person who appeared out of nowhere."

Nezha and Yang Jian exchanged a glance but did not speak.

Yang Jian narrowed his sharp third eye slightly, his gaze thoughtful:

"We must not act rashly. The Three Realms are vast and full of wonders. It would be unwise to draw conclusions before fully understanding the origins and strength of the Buddha Wutian."

The two chose to remain silent, waiting for more information about the Buddha Wutian before making a decision.

...

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

Without a second thought, all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas had already voted for the Tathagata in a frenzy!

With a compassionate expression and reverence for the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke first:

"The Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and his grace extends to the three realms. His compassion and wisdom have long since transformed into every blade of grass and every tree on this sacred mountain, nourishing all living beings."

"On the other hand, this Wutian, judging from his name alone, goes against the true path of Buddhism. He is obviously a demonic monk."

"How high can the Buddhist teachings of a wicked monk with malicious intentions be?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva, holding prayer beads in his hand, nodded in agreement:

“What Guanyin Bodhisattva said is absolutely right.”

"Our Buddha Tathagata went through countless eons of arduous cultivation and attainment of enlightenment before being able to preach the Dharma to all beings at the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling, leading countless beings out of the sea of ​​suffering."

"Wutian is clearly a demon, what kind of Buddha is he? Does he even deserve to be compared with my Buddha Tathagata?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva's words were sharp, and his disdain for Wutian was evident in his words.

The entire Ling Mountain was immersed in unwavering faith in the Buddha, as if the Buddha Wutian was nothing more than a clown in their eyes, utterly incapable of contending with the Buddha.

...

The sequel to Journey to the West: The Underworld.

Sun Wukong and the other gods and Buddhas imprisoned there remained silent, silently casting their votes for Wutian Buddha in their hearts.

Although the Buddha Wutian committed many evils, his power was undeniable.

Even the Buddha Tathagata had to reincarnate to avoid his sharp edge. With this level of ability, Wutian Buddha is already above the Buddha Tathagata!

Although Sun Wukong and his companions were utterly disgusted by the heinous acts, they considered one thing at a time.

This is about who is more capable, not who is more popular!

Based on my recognition of his strength, I still silently cast my vote for Wutian.

But for now.

The number of votes for Tathagata Buddha far exceeded that for Wutian Buddha!

After all, there aren't many gods and Buddhas who know the strength of the Buddha of No Heaven!

...

The world of Investiture of the Gods, Biyou Palace.

The disciples of the Jie Sect unanimously cast their votes for the Buddha, the Buddhist leader who was the reincarnation of Duobao Daoren and attained enlightenment.

"Brother Duobao dares to defy his superior and challenge Laozi. How many people can do that?"

"The Supreme Lord Laozi is one of the Three Pure Ones, with a revered position and unfathomable strength. Yet, Senior Brother Duobao showed no fear and resolutely went to meet him. His courage is truly admirable."

"That's right. Putting aside courage, Senior Brother Duobao's strength is also quite formidable. He has mastered many supernatural abilities and spells to perfection. Although he was ultimately defeated, being able to fight against someone like the Supreme Master Uncle is enough to show his extraordinary abilities. Now that he has been reincarnated as the Tathagata Buddha, his strength must have improved even more. How could he possibly lose to that Wutian Buddha who appeared out of nowhere?"

"Even after the great defeat in the Investiture of the Gods, Senior Brother Duobao was able to find another way out, cultivate in the West and achieve enlightenment, becoming the Buddha. Such opportunities and perseverance are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He must have extraordinary strength and wisdom to have achieved what he has today. We firmly believe that he is stronger than Wutian."

The disciples of the Jie Sect spoke with great admiration and trust in Daoist Duobao.
