Chapter 650: Chapter 172 There Might Be More Than One Buddha Head Statue! (Subscribe Please)_2
 

Some of the logic here is hard to make sense of.

As Cheng Guang was watching the Buddha Head Statue,

Gu Wushuang, who was by Cheng Guang’s side, also shifted her gaze from the dragon-shaped statue and looked in the direction of Cheng Guang’s focus, turning her attention to the Buddha Head Statue.

When Gu Wushuang saw the Buddha Head Statue, she was slightly taken aback. In her autumn-water-like eyes, a trace of puzzlement couldn’t help but emerge.

“How come there’s another statue here?”

“This appearance…”

“So strange.”

“But…”

“Yet so familiar…”

Gu Wushuang’s autumn-water eyes were tightly fixed on the Buddha Head Statue. As she observed it, her eyes involuntarily began to ripple.

After murmuring to herself,

Gu Wushuang also couldn’t help but start to ponder.

She felt an intense familiarity with the existence of the Buddha Head Statue, but couldn’t pinpoint where that familiarity came from, as if she had occasionally seen it somewhere.

Gu Wushuang herself was the Abyss Demon Emperor, possessing countless avatars.

Aside from Gu Wushuang herself, most of these avatars were unable to assume the primary consciousness of the Abyss Demon Emperor.

Therefore, most avatars would converge their own memories onto Gu Wushuang.

At this moment, Gu Wushuang had just merged with the body of the Abyss Demon Emperor and taken over the primary consciousness and had not yet fully digested the memories of all avatars.

Thus, upon seeing the Buddha Head Statue, she only felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity but could not articulate the reason.

Cheng Guang, hearing Gu Wushuang’s whisper to herself, couldn’t help but turn slightly and glanced at her, asking,

“Where have you seen a Buddha Head Statue like this?”

Gu Wushuang nodded slightly, “It seems I have seen something… quite similar…”

While speaking, Gu Wushuang closed her eyes, thoughts surging in her mind, rapidly pondering.

Seeing Gu Wushuang in this state, Cheng Guang realized that she probably wasn’t mistaken and likely had seen a Buddha Head Statue like this somewhere.

Gu Wushuang thought quickly.@@novelbin@@

And did not make Cheng Guang wait too long.

In just a few moments, Gu Wushuang reopened her eyes, surprise and astonishment flickering through them.

“I’ve got it, Princely Heir.”

Cheng Guang looked at Gu Wushuang, “Go on.”

Taking a deep breath and steadying the shock in her heart, Gu Wushuang slowly spoke to Cheng Guang, “In my Abyss Demon Prison, at the very depths, near my Demon Palace, it seems there is such a Buddha statue.”

“After that Buddha statue was found, no one paid much attention to it, and it was casually discarded in the depths of the abyss.”

“I hadn’t paid much attention to it before either, but now that I see this, I suddenly realize that the statue is strikingly similar to this Buddha Head Statue.”

“It’s as if they were carved from the same mold.”

Upon hearing Gu Wushuang’s words, Cheng Guang raised an eyebrow slightly, “You’ve only glanced at the face of this Buddha Statue and you’re able to recognize it?”

Gu Wushuang smiled and nodded, then with a playful glint in her beautiful eyes, she winked at Cheng Guang.

“Princely Heir, the memories of my avatars can merge perfectly with mine, so my memory is never wrong.”

Cheng Guang didn’t refute Gu Wushuang but nodded thoughtfully instead.

If what Gu Wushuang said was correct, and at the bottom of the abyss, there was indeed a Buddha statue very similar to this Buddha Head Statue,

Then could it be proven

That there is not just one of this Buddha Head Statue?

One in the Eight-layered Devil Realm.

Another in the Abyss Demon Sea.

Or perhaps scattered across different worlds.

Cheng Guang thought back to what the Great Tang Emperor had said before, that this world was originally one whole piece.

It was only after an issue arose between heaven and earth, with the way of heaven falling, and a great war exploding, that the world became fragmented.

That meant

These self-sealed slumbering Buddha statues probably did not deliberately travel to different worlds to seal themselves.

Rather, they were scattered during that inexplicable great war, falling to various places, hence the present state, with one here, another there.

Having understood this, Cheng Guang grew even more curious about that ancient war.

At the same time,

Cheng Guang’s eyes shifted back to the Buddha Head Statue, his mind already contemplating how to control this statue.

Or rather,

How to control the being within this Buddha Statue.

As long as he could control the being within this Buddha Statue, Cheng Guang himself would be able to complete the task issued by the system.

Cheng Guang imagined that controlling the being inside the Buddha Statue should not be a difficult task.

After all, he still had an Emperor’s Face Token to use directly on the Buddha Statue, making it willingly submit to him.

But,

Cheng Guang had used the Emperor’s Face Token for Gu Wushuang on his trip to the Eight-layered Devil Realm.

Though not at a loss,

Affected by the Princess’s stockings, Gu Wushuang still held favorable feelings toward him and had lost most of the Abyss Demon Emperor’s traits of ruthlessness and violent impulses.

At least up until now, Gu Wushuang hadn’t done anything odd, allowing Cheng Guang to remain at ease about her.

Even if Gu Wushuang harbored other motives,

Cheng Guang was not afraid.

Not to mention he already had Black Cub by his side, and the techniques at his own disposal were certainly no less numerous than Gu Wushuang’s.
