216: Will of All Beings

“Then let’s begin our first step—the ‘Net of All Beings’!”

He pointed two fingers like a sword, and with a sweep through the Void Realm, aimed at the vast and boundless core of the Heavenly Dao rules, where Qi was chaotic!

Om—!

An indescribable pulsation, originating from the Origin of Hongmeng Purple Energy, silently penetrated the spatial barrier and accurately descended above the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Then, it continuously spread outwards.

There was no earth-shattering commotion, no dazzling light.

But deep within the minds of all sentient beings in the Ten Thousand Mountains who possessed spiritual perception—whether it was a young demon who had just awakened its intelligence, an old monster hidden in an Immortal Cave, or even those ancient towering trees and thousand-year-old spiritual plants—they all felt a strange “touch.”

It was as if a gigantic “net,” formless and intangible yet truly existing, was slowly and steadily “growing” out from the depths of this wild land, from the Spiritual Vein nodes of every mountain peak, every river, and every forest!

In Lin Chuping’s Sea of Consciousness, the consciousness of all beings continuously poured in.

Pain, anger, confusion, curiosity, protection, attachment, fear, resilience… countless emotions, countless tiny thoughts, like billions of grains of sand, attempted to engulf him.

“Host, are you alright?”

The System was somewhat worried, feeling a rare pang of guilt.

Originally, the Host’s growth could have been gradual, but this Little Sky Demon was stronger than the previous few, and the Origin of the original Heavenly Dao had already been depleted too much after multiple attempts.

There wasn't much time left for it to save itself.

“Good, I’m perfectly fine.”

Lin Chuping gritted his teeth in pain, his eyes tightly shut, his brows furrowed, and even faint blue veins visible on his temples.

The impact far exceeded his imagination, more “chaotic” than any battle he had ever experienced.

But he knew this was exactly what he wanted!

This chaos, this clamor, this cry of all small and humble lives, was the truest and most fundamental power of this world, the Foundation of the ‘Net of All Beings’!

From the Net of All Beings, Lin Chuping saw that the Netherworld, under the management of the Judge and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, had gradually gotten on track.

Under Li Shun’s management, the court of Great Yan was also gradually becoming clearer, and even temples were built throughout Great Yan.

Lin Hu was leading the Tiger Clan in worshipping the gods, preparing to unite the Tiger Clan to search for the so-called “Night Eclipse Demon.”

Further afield were the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom, Penglai Immortal Island, and the North Sea Demon Abyss.

Pain, despair, and fear instantly assailed him manifold.

The perception of the Net of All Beings was not visual, but a direct touch of existence itself.

In the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom, what Lin Chuping “saw” was no longer a Holy Land filled with chanting and radiating Buddha light.

He “perceived” a despair of crumbling faith.

Buddha light extinguished, scriptures self-immolated, monks demonized, pure lands defiled, and the core wailed.

In an instant, Lin Chuping felt as if he had entered a world of madness.

“This is even more terrifying than a bizarre invasion.”

Lin Chuping was now extremely grateful to the System; if it had directly placed him in this hellish place back then, he feared he wouldn’t even make it out of theNovice Village (newbie village) and would follow in the footsteps of the previous 998 predecessors.

Penglai Immortal Island and the North Sea Demon Abyss were not much better.

After taking over the Heavenly Dao, Lin Chuping almost instantly felt the wailing of the earth vein core.

“Host, these places have been contaminated by Sky Demons.”

The System’s voice was heavy.

“Do you feel it? This is not just a disaster! Here… the Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom, Penglai Immortal Island, the North Sea Demon Abyss… and even the earth veins of the entire world… have been deeply contaminated by the power of the ‘Sky Demon’!”

It stated, word by word, revealing the cruelest truth behind the tragic state of this world.

“This is corruption! It is an erosion at the Origin level! All the madness and desolation felt by the Net of All Beings are the festering sores left by ‘It’!”
