410: Guanyin Guanyin or Guanyin

“There is a Chinese saying: ‘Success without effort!’”

Darwin muttered to himself while flying towards Dongying. Even for someone like him, who usually kept his emotions well-hidden, he couldn't help but wear a smug smile.

After planning for so long, the imperial jade seal was finally in his hands. Moreover, he had changed some of the rules of this Universe from another direction; it could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

However, just as he was feeling pleased with himself, the sky suddenly turned gloomy.

It was nearing dawn, and as he flew further east, he should have been flying towards the sun, with the sky getting brighter. But now, the opposite was happening; the entire sky suddenly turned black. At a glance, large swathes of dark clouds had covered the entire sky ahead, with lightning crisscrossing through the clouds from time to time, looking extremely terrifying.

Darwin was a seasoned veteran of many battles and had seen many such strange scenes. He couldn't help but stop, look around, and click his tongue, saying, “Your Excellency, since you have come, there is no need to hide. Come out and let's meet!”

His voice was like a booming bell, and the waves of Qi rolled out, causing the clouds in the entire sky to churn.

A figure appeared as if out of thin air, yet it also seemed to have been waiting there all along, which immediately startled Darwin.

It was a gentle and refined young man wearing a white robe, with a red mark between his eyebrows, resembling a bright red gemstone.

“Who are you?”

Darwin gasped inwardly. When exactly did this person appear before him? He hadn't sensed it at all, but on the surface, he remained calm and said.

“Hehe, you can just call me Guanyin!”

The young man laughed, “The thing in your hand belongs to my friend, so you... cannot take it away!”

Darwin sneered, “Do you think you can stop me? Or are you saying you can snatch it from my hands?”

Guanyin laughed, “With my ability, perhaps it is not enough to stop you, or to snatch the imperial jade seal from your hands... but I did not come alone!”

Darwin was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, “My friend, this bluff is a bit too low-level. I haven't sensed the presence of anyone else...”

Guanyin shook her head and smiled, “No, no, no, there is certainly no one else here, only me!”

Darwin frowned slightly, completely failing to understand the point of this wordplay. He said in a deep voice, “I do not want to make more powerful enemies, but I do not care about fighting powerful enemies either. If you do not want to die, it is not too late to retreat now!”

Guanyin smiled without speaking, gently pointed behind him, and laughed, “Look, the other person I mentioned has arrived... oh, perhaps there is more than one!”

Darwin was silent. He knew the other party was not bluffing because he had already sensed a... no, to be precise, two identical auras behind him. Not only were these two auras identical, but the aura of the young man in front of him, who called himself Guanyin, was also the same.

“No wonder I couldn't sense other auras... Are they Clones?”

Darwin smiled disdainfully and turned to look, “If they are all of the same strength as you, such Clones are meaningless... Hmm?”

Two figures were floating behind him. One was a female, with a kind and gentle face, dignified, wearing a white robe, holding a Jade Purification Vase in her hand, appearing to have no Killing Intent at all.

The other person was a robust young man over two meters tall, wearing colorful ribbons, barefoot, with sharp facial features, and a faint Killing Intent lingering between his brows.

Three people, three different images, the only thing in common was the aura on them and the red mark between their eyebrows.

“Hehe, let me introduce... these... um, according to your terms, they should be considered my Clones, but I prefer to call it... One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!”

Guanyin laughed.

Darwin was silent, but heard the female Guanyin opposite her smile calmly and say, “Then among us, who is the dominant one, and who are the other two strands of Qi that were separated?”

The tall and robust Guanyin also laughed and said, “I'm afraid even Compassionate Guanyin herself cannot figure that out!”

Darwin finally felt a trace of pressure in his heart, and the tense atmosphere continued to escalate.

The young man version of Guanyin did not take up their conversation, but continued, “The lady you see is Holy Heart Guanyin, who upholds benevolent thoughts, known to the world as the ‘Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva’. And the other one's name is much simpler; you can just call her Killing Intent Guanyin!”

“And you?” Darwin narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Me? My magic power is not as good as the other two, but I can hold fast to my Dao Heart, my original heart, so I am called Compassionate Guanyin!”

Guanyin put her hands together and smiled, “Mr. Darwin, I once read your Theory of Evolution in another world. I must say, in the field of science, you are truly an amazing person, but if we are talking about fighting, you are still lacking a bit!”

“Hmph, then let's try it out!”

Darwin suddenly opened the five fingers of his left hand and grabbed towards Compassionate Guanyin, the speed so fast it was astonishing.

Compassionate Guanyin had almost no room to dodge and was grabbed directly in his hand. The power of the Life Law instantly began to operate.

“Life, Regression...”

The sense of age on Compassionate Guanyin's face began to fade, but before she could show signs of becoming younger, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from above, and the target was actually Compassionate Guanyin herself.

“Hmm?”

Darwin suddenly let go, stepped back a few paces, and looked back with a wary gaze, only to see Killing Intent Guanyin pointing her right finger towards the sky, as if the lightning just now was brought down by her.

“If you do not become a Saint, you are ultimately just an ant!” Compassionate Guanyin laughed, “Do you know? Actually, I have been observing your Law power for a long time. This Law power that can make people regress, make people age, or even make people evolve, is actually a branch of the Life Law. However, there is something in this world that even your Law cannot make evolve or regress, and that is light. You cannot change the speed of light, you cannot make light regress or evolve, and the nature of lightning is similar to light. As long as lightning covers my body, your ability cannot hurt me! Hmm, plus the water from the Jade Purification Vase in Holy Heart Guanyin's hand, my physical state will only be stronger than before!”

Darwin could not help but fall silent. It was the first time he had encountered such a calculated opponent. It seemed this guy had long ago figured out his background, so she had come prepared.

This feeling was really not good, because all along, calculating against others in the dark was his specialty. Being calculated against in return was equivalent to losing to the other party in the Domain of wisdom.

“This is the first time I have faced an opponent like you...” Darwin sighed, “It seems that if I don't give it my all this time, I won't be able to get past this hurdle!”
