Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 265 - 203: Resentment

Chapter 265: Chapter 203: Resentment

Hui Ling froze at first when Lin Xing claimed he was the Bright Buddha, then a strong anger flashed across her face.

She aimed the camera at Lin Xing, suppressing the rage in her heart and said, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

Looking at the phone, Lin Xing said, "Are you recording? It doesn’t matter if I say it again, I am your Buddha, and your Buddha is me. If you don’t believe it, you can ask the Great Bright Buddha of your home."

The murderous intent in Hui Ling’s eyes surged rapidly as she glared at Lin Xing and spoke word by word, "Lin Xing, you are insulting the faith of Da Guangming Temple."

Lin Xing frowned and said, "I am your faith, how could I possibly insult myself? What I’m saying is all true..."

Angered, Hui Ling could no longer care whether she was Lin Xing’s match and sent a palm strike directly toward him.

Lin Xing flicked his fingers, and Hui Ling’s outer robe instantly transformed into flying swords that entangled and bound her on the spot.

The phone that was live broadcasting also snapped to the ground, conveniently facing Hui Ling and Su Ju.

Lin Xing shook his head at Hui Ling, "To strike me is to strike the Bright Buddha; this is the real insult to your own faith."

Hui Ling looked at Lin Xing with increasing fury, "Lin Xing! This matter won’t end so easily. The words you just said have made enemies with all the believers of the entire Da Guangming Temple..."

Su Ju, who had gradually recovered from the shock of his clothes bursting, pointed at Lin Xing and shouted sternly, "Lin Xing, do you realize what you’re saying? Such disrespectful actions toward the faith of friends from Mirror World have an extremely negative impact, and they could even jeopardize the grand scheme of cooperation between the two worlds."

Little Lin Xing watched the two sides erupt into a fierce quarrel and fanned the flames from the side, "Look at them, now it’s a fight to the death. If you don’t eliminate the roots now, there will surely be troubles later..."

Lin Xing couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the other side, instead turning his gaze toward Su Ju, a thought rising in his heart.

Just then, he noticed his phone vibrating and saw it was Jing Shiyu calling.

"Lin Xing, Hui Ling is live broadcasting."

...

Du Kong was called over by his subordinates to watch the live broadcast.

Watching the scene in Hui Ling’s live broadcast room, he had a bad premonition.

Du Kong raised his head to look at the Great Bright Buddha beside him and asked, "My Buddha, how did Lin Xing know he is the reincarnation of You?"

The Great Bright Buddha sat on the couch with his head surrounded by Buddha light. Under the illumination of the Buddha light, books floated around him, ready for his perusal.

These books were of various and sundry kinds, including scientific literature like "University Physics," "A Brief History of Time," "A History of Physics," historical readings like "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," "Five Thousand Years of Xia Country," "Understanding the History of White Eagle Country in One Book," and even detective novels, social documentaries, and books on business, computing, cooking, and so on.

Ever since he arrived in this world, the Great Bright Buddha had been learning about this world’s various knowledges at an inconceivable speed.

Now, hearing Du Kong’s words, the Great Bright Buddha raised his head to reply, "Naturally, I told him."

"I had wanted to try and restore the memories in his sea of consciousness, even to integrate this reincarnated body."

"Alas, I was not successful in the end."

Du Kong said with a sense of resignation, "Do you think the words you said could have been recorded by them?"

The Great Bright Buddha pondered for a bit and reminisced about the battle on She Shen Cliff, nodding and saying, "At that time I wasn’t concerned about this, but now it seems likely that they might have recorded it."

Du Kong sighed and said, "These people really are..."

After a moment of thought, he still dialed the phone in his hand.

...

When Lin Xing heard what Jing Shiyu had said, he knew she was reminding him to mind his image during the live broadcast.

He nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I understand."

Lin Xing gave a thumbs up to Dong’er and others, saying, "It was no easy task for you all to hold out until I came to rescue you, you are the real heroes."

Dong’er and the others exchanged baffled looks, not understanding what Lin Xing was saying.

While Hui Ling was still yelling at Lin Xing, she suddenly saw a monk in new clothes hurriedly running down from the airplane.

As the monk approached Lin Xing, he quickly raised his hands high, "I mean no harm; Du Kong brother wants to contact Hui Ling."

Seeing Lin Xing didn’t make a move, the monk finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He switched off Hui Ling’s phone broadcast as instructed by Du Kong, then brought the phone to Hui Ling.

"Brother Du Kong wants to speak with you."

Once the monk made the call, Du Kong’s voice soon came through the phone.

Hui Ling called out, "Brother!"

But Du Kong directly cut off her next words.

"Don’t be anxious, listen to me."

"Never mind Lin Xing and those believers, come back directly."

"I will explain the details when you return."

After Du Kong hung up the call, Hui Ling took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xing, "Release me."

Lin Xing nodded and dissipated the Sword Intent binding her, "If you hadn’t tried to harm me on purpose just now, why would I have restrained you?"

"You might as well go back and tell the Great Bright Buddha not to do evil in this world; otherwise, if I encounter you, I will definitely stop your evil deeds."

"As for the entire Da Guangming Temple, since it belongs to me, I will eventually take it all back and guide you to correct your wrongs."

Suppressing the rage in her heart, Hui Ling didn’t even glance at Lin Xing and hurried toward the direction of the airplane.

After the people from Da Guangming Temple departed, Lin Xing turned his gaze back to Su Ju.

Su Ju had originally wanted to scold the other person, but upon being swept by Lin Xing’s deep gaze, a chill suddenly rose in his heart, "You... what are you going to do?"

Lin Xing asked Little Lin Xing, "What did you just say the conditions for activating the ability are?"

...

About half an hour later, a team of official personnel rushed to the airport in a hurry.

One of them was Wei Zhi, who had hurried over from the exploration base.

He glanced at Su Ju on the stretcher, who had his eyes closed the whole time, and felt as if he was looking at a hairless humanoid cat.

Throughout the process, the other party seemed to not want to make eye contact with anyone, keeping his eyes closed as if he were asleep.

But Wei Zhi, seeing Su Ju’s tightly clenched fists, knew that inside, Su Ju must be anything but calm.

"What on earth happened? Who attacked Su Ju?"

A nearby worker walked over from Dong’er and said with a complex expression, "It was Lin Xing."

"According to these devotees, after Lin Xing repelled Hui Ling and the others, he did something... to Su Ju."

Wei Zhi pressed, "What exactly did he do?"

The worker said, "They say Lin Xing wanted to know... how to make Su Ju harbor resentment."

...

On the streets.

Lin Xing stroked his chin, recalling the process of just testing the ability.

He murmured to himself, "This so-called resentment, could it be referring to negative emotions?"

"I definitely triggered negative emotions in him just now, even fury reaching to the heavens."

"But as a result, my consciousness didn’t return to the past again..."

Little Lin Xing said beside him, "It’s because the past you did not call out, so naturally, you at the airport just now couldn’t pass the message back."

Lin Xing frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"

Little Lin Xing casually said, "This Divine Skill requires the past you to self-harm and call out."

"It also needs the future you to gather resentment and descend to the past."

"Only when both are completed, acting as cause and effect for one another, can the Divine Skill be established."

As Lin Xing was lost in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead, and a crowd of people started running around on the street, with sporadic gunfire coming from farther away.

Lin Xing’s heart raced, "Could it be that residents of the Mirror World have opened a Celestial Gate and come over?"

With a swift motion, he drifted swiftly toward the direction of the gunfire.

However, by the time he arrived, there were already eight bodies on the ground.

Seven of them appeared, from their appearances, to be ordinary people living in the current world.

The other person, with a ferocious expression and dressed in a combat uniform, riddled with bullet holes, was obviously an expert from the Mirror World.

Seeing that the person had been killed, Lin Xing did not approach further.

Instead, his gaze swept over the squad of soldiers who had killed the man, and he thought to himself, "I had heard that the whole country was recruiting and training militia and distributing weapons to them; it looks like this is the result."

Walking on the street, observing people who quickly recovered their composure, Lin Xing sensed that the citizens of Xia Country were also gradually adapting to the current situation.

It had been a long time since Lin Xing had strolled in the modern world, and only now did he notice the attire of the passers-by, as well as the various decorations setup at both shopping mall entrances and the storefronts by the roadside.

"It’s already winter."

"The new year is approaching."

...

As soon as Lin Xing returned to Building C’s room, Bai Yiyi said to him, "Lin Xing! The incident with you and Hui Ling has hit the trending searches."

"There’s a lot of criticism about you."

"It’s said that you lacked respect for Hui Ling, disrespected the faith of the Bright Temple, and that your offhanded remarks were very impolite..."

Obviously, no one online believed what Lin Xing had said, and no one thought he was the Bright Buddha.

Zhao Wanxi said, "How about we release the next video sooner, and just edit out the part where the Bright Buddha and your Senior Brother are talking?"

"Great idea!" Bai Yiyi became excited, "Once this video is out, I want to see how Hui Ling will respond!"

"By then, if you’re the Bright Buddha, then I’ll be the Supreme Sect Leader of the Bright Temple..."

Bai Yiyi hadn’t expected that before she could become the Supreme Sect Leader of the Taiqing Sect, she had already become the Supreme Sect Leader of the Bright Temple, and she felt that taking Lin Xing as a disciple back then was truly an act of divine ingenuity.

However, Lin Xing shook his head, "It’s better not to release it."

Bai Yiyi turned and asked, "Why not?"

Lin Xing responded, "I don’t want the public in Xia Country to know about this, I don’t want them to think I’m the Bright Buddha, to see me as someone from the Mirror World, or even to worship me as Buddha."

As the few of them talked, Lin Xing’s phone vibrated again.

He answered the call, and a light chuckle came through, "Lin Xing, this is Du Kong from the Bright Temple. I’ve stumbled upon a great fortune..."

Lin Xing hung up the phone and, facing the puzzled looks from Bai Yiyi and Zhao Wanxi, said, "Seems like a scam call, pay it no mind, let’s continue talking about the Bright Buddha matter..."
