Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Never Again Will There Be One Like You in This World

Right now, Zhang Yuxi’s feelings were a bit complicated.

She heard the Living Buddha say that she was supposed to be a beauty with a short, tragic life.

But then he said her fate had been changed, so her head was all messed up now.

Then the Living Buddha took a sip of tea, glanced thoughtfully at Lin Feng, and spoke softly.

"Female benefactor, there’s no need to overthink. Buddhism places the greatest emphasis on cause and effect. All karmic affinities and all dharmas arise from cause and effect; where there is a cause, there will be an effect."

"Moreover, from what this poor monk sees, there is a hint of purple energy in your fate right now. I imagine the one who changed your destiny must be Benefactor Lin, so you needn’t take it to heart."

Huh?

As expected of the Living Buddha of this generation, he pierced straight through to the truth in one shot.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly.

But Lin Feng was very curious: what exactly was that "purple intent" in the Living Buddha’s words?

And how was he so sure that Lin Feng was the one who had changed Zhang Yuxi’s destiny?

Meanwhile, the delicate little face of Zhang Yuxi slowly relaxed, the faint crease between her brows smoothing out.

Since the Living Buddha said it was because of Lin Feng that her fate had changed, that made it all feel reasonable to her.

Because during this period of time, she’d always felt that Lin Feng was sent by the heavens to save her.

The reason she could live so happily and blissfully now was all because of Lin Feng.

She turned her head and glanced at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with love.

Seeing Zhang Yuxi look at him, Lin Feng smiled, reached out to rub her hair, his face full of doting affection.

The Living Buddha saw their little interaction and a merciful look appeared on his face.

Though Buddhists keep away from women, watching lovers finally become a couple was still a beautiful thing.

Lin Feng remembered that just now, the Living Buddha hadn’t answered his question about what was written about him in the Living Buddha’s notebook.

He had just opened his mouth to ask again when he heard the Living Buddha begin to speak.

"Is Benefactor Lin perhaps wishing to ask this poor monk about the notebook?"

Uh...

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded as he spoke.

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the Living Buddha slowly began.

"As for Benefactor Lin’s matter, we must trace it back to the reincarnation body of the first-generation Living Buddha."

"What concerns Benefactor Lin is recorded in the memory notebook of that first-generation Living Buddha’s reincarnation."

Lin Feng was amazed. The first-generation Living Buddha must have lived several hundred years ago, right?

And he could foresee things now??

This was way too magical!

"According to the notebook, it seems the reincarnation of the first-generation Living Buddha should have been from the Ming dynasty period."

Lin Feng: "..."

The Ming dynasty...

Damn...

That’s over three hundred years ago, right...

This magical??

Right after that, he heard the Living Buddha continue.

"Each generation’s Living Buddha records their memory notebook using special materials. Although countless wars have raged, every generation of Living Buddha used the strength of the entire sect to preserve them, so they have still been saved intact to this day."

"And in the first-generation Living Buddha’s memory notebook, the passage about Benefactor Lin is written like this."

"Those of my Buddhist sect in later generations must keep this firmly in mind: countless years from now, there will appear in the world a person bearing great providence who will come to the lands of my Buddhist sect."

"This person’s surname is Lin, and he will come from the East, bearing the momentum of Purple Qi Rising from the East! He is the honored benefactor of my Buddhist sect, and the common master of the world!"

"If future generations live in troubled times, all those of my Buddhist sect shall come down from the mountains, using the power of the entire sect to assist this honored one in unifying the world and accomplishing a hegemony over all under heaven!"

Uh... 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lin Feng: "..."

Zhang Yuxi: "..."

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were both speechless...

For a moment they didn’t even know what to say.

This was just too mind-blowing...

The Living Buddha looked at their expressions and knew exactly what they were thinking...

This was also why, just now when Lin Feng asked about this, the Living Buddha had looked at him with such a complicated expression.

Because what the first-generation Living Buddha left behind was just too... out there...

Everything up to that point, Lin Feng matched it all, but "unifying the world"...

This...

He felt pretty helpless about that too...

Lin Feng snapped out of it and looked at the somewhat conflicted and helpless expression on the Living Buddha’s face.

Then he spoke up.

"Living Buddha, it’s just something written in a notebook, and it’s already been hundreds of years. There’s no way to verify it."

"We live in a time of peace and prosperity now, society is stable. I think even the first-generation Living Buddha probably didn’t foresee the situation today, so all of this doesn’t really stand."

"Amitabha~"

"Benefactor Lin understands the greater good; you truly live up to being the great providence-bearer of this age."

After chanting a Buddha’s name, the Living Buddha spoke with a compassionate expression.

"Benefactor Lin carries the momentum of Purple Qi Rising from the East. If this were ancient times, you would definitely be, as the first-generation Living Buddha said, someone with the bearing of a common master of the world. And as for the female benefactor, influenced by Benefactor Lin, her fate now also carries faint strands of purple. This is a Phoenix Fate, with the potential to be mother of the world."

"Although in today’s society these things no longer truly apply, Benefactor Lin is destined to be a man of immense wealth and honor, and the female benefactor is the same."

The Living Buddha spoke slowly.

This, Lin Feng agreed with.

With a system on him, becoming immensely rich and powerful was just a piece of cake.

In this life, he was destined not to be an ordinary nobody.

As for being a king or an emperor, Lin Feng had never even considered it.

Life nowadays was so good, society so stable; not to mention whether it was even possible.

Doing that, plunging all living beings into misery and suffering, what would be the point?

Besides, he didn’t have that kind of grand ambition. He just wanted to protect the people around him and live this life freely and comfortably.

And becoming an emperor?

In this day and age, wouldn’t that be pure suicide?

Lin Feng shook his head, pushing all those random thoughts out of his mind. He smiled, looked at the Living Buddha, and asked.

Since there really was such a thing as the reincarnation of a Living Buddha, then how many people in this world had great providence like him?

By great providence, Lin Feng meant a system.

He looked at the Living Buddha with open curiosity and asked.

"How many people in this world are like me, with great providence?"

The Living Buddha glanced at Lin Feng. Although he didn’t know that Lin Feng meant a system, he more or less understood what Lin Feng was trying to ask.

Then he closed his eyes and began chanting sutras under his breath.

After a long moment, he opened those unfathomably deep eyes and looked at Lin Feng.

It was as if two shafts of brilliant light shot from the Living Buddha’s eyes straight into Lin Feng.

Then the Living Buddha slowly said, "There is no one else in this world like you..."

"No one else in this world like me?"

Lin Feng murmured softly.

Even though the Living Buddha didn’t know he was a reborn man with a system, he did know Lin Feng was a man of great providence.

Since he said that, it meant that in this world, Lin Feng really was just a one-off.

In that case, there was nothing left for Lin Feng to worry about.

His heart finally relaxed completely.

At the side, Zhang Yuxi was covering her little mouth, her face full of shock.

She was utterly stunned by the Living Buddha’s assessment of Lin Feng.

She knew Lin Feng was outstanding, but she hadn’t expected him to be this incredible—so incredible the Living Buddha gave him such a supreme evaluation.

Although the Living Buddha retained some memories of his past life and was a great wise man of this age, even he didn’t dare to look down on or slight Lin Feng.

Leaving aside the admonitions left by the first-generation Living Buddha, just Lin Feng’s status as the great providence-holder of this era was enough that he didn’t dare neglect him.

Lin Feng was destined to be someone soaring above the Ninth Heaven.

Then the Living Buddha began discussing Zen with Lin Feng.

Even though Lin Feng didn’t know Buddhism, he was a reborn man.

His knowledge and perspective far surpassed that of people of this era.

From time to time, some of Lin Feng’s comments—his bold statements about the future development of the world—shocked the Living Buddha greatly.

Zhang Yuxi watched Lin Feng and the Living Buddha talk Zen back and forth.

Their words left her completely lost, but seeing how shocked the Living Buddha looked, Zhang Yuxi’s admiration for Lin Feng grew even deeper.

And she felt incredibly proud.

Because Lin Feng was her man, Zhang Yuxi’s man.

She gazed at Lin Feng with a worshipful look, her eyes full of love.
