Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

The final calamity?

Ji Jingqiu at that time looked toward the Divine Lord.

But the Divine Lord was Formless and faceless, so he couldn't discern whether the Divine Lord felt worried, sympathetic, or as usual, calm.

Fortunately, the Divine Lord was not like Hel, a person of riddles, giving him an unexpected answer.

An answer...

Ji Jingqiu had never imagined.

[It's the Evil Poison Disease]

[There's nothing wrong with genetic modification itself, the issue lies with the curse of the Wilderness Three Demons, any attempts to achieve life evolution and transition through non-'True Self' means will trigger their curse]

[The essence of the Evil Poison Disease is the erosion of 'True Self', which also involves secrets of the Bitter Sea. The genetic level issue is just the surface, even we can't clarify the key points. This is also why the Federation still can't solve the root cause despite investing massive resources]

[Hel is not optimistic about you because when you face the final Reverse Innate, you need to confront the root of this curse, and It thinks you can't withstand it]

[But we don't think so, because we once also believed it was impossible for anyone to withstand the Evil Poison Disease until... you appeared]

[This suffering almost destroyed you, but it also truly made you. Ji Jingqiu, to some extent, we should thank you, we have been silent for too long, forgotten too much, your emergence reminded us of a crucial point—from ancient times, humanity has always had infinite possibilities]

At that time, Ji Jingqiu was lost in thought for a long time.

Not because of the Divine Lord's sincere thanks.

But because...

He had almost forgotten those years, the unpleasant memories brought by the Evil Poison Disease.

Because all of these were about to pass.

He was just one step away from the final Reverse Innate.

Even just this step, there were many good people willing to help him, such as Senior Gu.

And even without the Reverse Innate, with his current situation, he only needed to endure a mere ten-plus minutes each day, hardly worth mentioning.

Soon, this experience would become just a bit of frost and bitter wind in his life.

Perhaps one day in the future.

Master Ji, or Grandmaster Ji, God Ji, might suddenly be inspired to write an autobiography to encourage the Latecomers.

In this autobiography, he would write about his childhood liking for the snack street just outside the neighborhood, feasting from one end to the other, drooling at the entrance of Sir Wang's kebab shop...

He would write about his youth, loving to stay in the temple downstairs, hoping the God inside would bless him to become rich and live a peaceful and happy life...

He had many things he could write about.

To show everyone a different God Ji.

But just one thing, he wouldn't exalt his past sufferings.

It would just be touched upon lightly.

For example—[To be honest, those years were somewhat tough, but luckily, I made it through]

Or—

[I once walked through mountains and across rivers, experiencing countless hardships and landscapes; some of them said goodbye and went their separate ways, while some eternally settled into my soul, sculpting me, shaping me, forging me, blending into and becoming me.]

Yes, just like that.

Serene as the light clouds and gentle breeze.

Mentioned lightly.

But therein lies the storm within the subtle ripples and thunder in the silence.

Those who have experienced suffering should not exalt their own suffering.

Just like saying goodbye completely to past sufferings.

Or perhaps, it's also a kind of reconciliation.

But suddenly, on this day.

The Divine Lord told him.

There's nothing wrong with the genetic modifications.

The problem lies with the curse of the Three Demons.

That the Federation hasn't been able to resolve the root of the Evil Poison Disease is also because of the root from the Wilderness Three Demons.

Suddenly, Ji Jingqiu didn't want to reconcile anymore.

How could he reconcile?

The source of his suffering wasn't some elusive, predetermined fate!

It was the truly existing, damned Wilderness God!

At that moment, Ji Jingqiu had to admit that some of Hel's words still held some truth.

Such as, "Ji Jingqiu would also be happy."

In the Supreme Buddha Country.

Looking towards the distant True Buddha, Ji Jingqiu gradually came to his senses, his spirit returning to tranquility.

He felt he had been a bit too impatient recently, and the coming month was the perfect opportunity to wash off the lead blooms, to see his True Self.
