Chapter 475: Chapter 243: Apocalypse Plan

"What use is there in weighing the fortunes of an entire prefecture in Jing Country?" Zhou Xuan, playing the role of the Great Heavenly King, asked.

Faced with this question from the Great Heavenly King, Mo Tingsheng, eager to prove himself, responded, "Great Heavenly King, take Mingjiang Prefecture as an example. I have set up a scheme within Mingjiang Prefecture,

and if my weight on the Peace Scale cannot outweigh that of Mingjiang Prefecture, it would indicate that my scheme lacks strength and requires optimization.

However, if my weight outweighs that of Mingjiang Prefecture on the scale, it means my scheme is highly effective. As long as I execute it according to the plan and detonate the arrangement,

Mingjiang Prefecture—and Buddha Country—will be within reach."

The Great Heavenly King continued his questioning. "You speak so confidently, but how is the situation you set up in Mingjiang Prefecture?"

"The winds are favorable," Mo Tingsheng replied. "My weight on the Peace Scale already heavily presses down on Mingjiang Prefecture’s. The scale wavers slightly as of now, but in just a few days, when it stabilizes, I will ignite the arrangement and surely take Mingjiang."

"And what is this arrangement of yours?" The Great Heavenly King’s consciousness probed further.

"Great Heavenly King, this time, I have long since coordinated with Yunwu Venerable of Buddha Country. I intend to use the lives of the people in Mingjiang Prefecture to open a path. With this path established, Yunwu Venerable can enter Jing Country through Mingjiang Prefecture.

Yunwu Venerable, who is on the verge of reaching nine transformations, becoming the Vajra Buddha with Nine Incenses, will take over Mingjiang. Painters, Music Masters—none shall stand against him."

Nine transformations, in Jing Country, signify nine incense offerings.

"I trust Yunwu Venerable has the strength to suppress Mingjiang Prefecture," Zhou Xuan, as the Great Heavenly King, said. "But you claim to open a path by taking the lives of an entire prefecture’s populace? How would you achieve this?"

At this moment, Mo Tingsheng was entirely ensnared in the dream, with no trace of resistance in his mind. He even believed he was officially reporting his plans to the "Great Heavenly King."

And in his own conceit, he considered his work in Jing Country over the years as exceptional. While answering the Great Heavenly King’s inquiries, he couldn’t help but show a hint of pride.

"To open the path is simple: first, kill the people—wipe out the populace of an entire prefecture."

"Though Mingjiang Prefecture is in decline, it still has numerous You Shen overseeing it. The Painters also have extensive networks and can summon disciples from other prefectures’ Tangkou to aid them. You, with your meager cultivation as a disciple of Buddha Country, on what grounds could you annihilate an entire prefecture’s populace?" the Great Heavenly King asked.

"Through natural disasters and human calamity, through widespread chaos."

"Explain in detail."

Mo Tingsheng raised his hand and pointed toward the Heavenly Dome, saying,

"Great Heavenly King, I have controlled the Kidnapper Hall for thirty years. During these thirty years, I deceived Mr. Feng, leading him to believe that the drought afflicting Corridor River was the doing of the God of Mingjiang Prefecture. He swore revenge on this so-called God,

but lacked the power to exact that revenge. So, I taught him the methods of ’management.’"

"What do you mean by ’management’?"

In Mo Tingsheng’s dream, Zhou Xuan, playing the "Great Heavenly King," began to realize that the information being uncovered from Mo Tingsheng was staggeringly incredible.

"The disciples of Kidnapper Hall, aside from those with talent or cultivation aptitude, are mostly survivors of various natural disasters across Jing Country,

These survivors’ parents, sisters, and brothers largely perished in those disasters. They carry boundless hatred that must find release. Kidnapper Hall took them in but denies them the opportunity to cultivate."

"If they are denied cultivation, what are they made to do?"

"Those with political acumen are guided into officialdom. Those with a knack for commerce are steered into trade. Those skilled at forming factions are placed at docks and transport hubs to amass networks." Mo Tingsheng continued, "Through commerce, bureaucracy, monopolizing transport firms, establishing private banks, running gambling dens, and operating brothels—

these threads of economic lifelines in the human world are disdainfully overlooked by most cultivators in Jing Country. Even figures like Si Ming, if they attempt to manage it, can only form scattered and incoherent groups,

but the survivors whom Mr. Feng and I nurtured have infiltrated all these sectors. Some have become wealthy tycoons in Mingjiang Prefecture, others have risen as gang lords, and still others have attained high-ranking positions in Mingjiang’s government offices.

These uninitiated disciples are the true core of Kidnapper Hall’s foundation. They... have thoroughly permeated Mingjiang Prefecture."

At this point, Zhou Xuan recalled something Mr. Feng had once said: "Mr. Mo and I share the belief that Jing Country’s true strength resides among its people."

"Yet Mo Tingsheng, this vile creature, has turned that idea completely upside down."

When the Great Heavenly King and the Three-headed Stone Buddha descend, they intend to conquer Jing Country through sheer might.

But Mo Tingsheng’s approach of "management"—using survivors of disasters, those who harbor deep hatred for Jing Country, to turn Jing Country against itself—

was something else entirely.

Playing the role of the "Great Heavenly King," Zhou Xuan asked once more, "But these people who have infiltrated Mingjiang Prefecture, lacking incense offerings, are nothing more than wealthy commoners in the human world."

"Great Heavenly King, these people can create the gravest disasters in Jing Country."

Mo Tingsheng raised examples and elaborated: "Some disciples have become train conductors. If they controlled a train derailment, the passengers would scarcely survive.

Some disciples, entrenched at the docks, know that ever since Mingjiang opened its port, it has become the most prosperous waterway in Jing Country, with numerous ships traveling its waters daily. If these disciples, disregarding their lives, scattered themselves across these ships and armed themselves with explosives, machetes, and hunting rifles, three to five of them could slaughter an entire boat.

Some disciples manage Mingjiang’s eleven reservoirs. If they planted explosives beneath the reservoir gates and detonated them simultaneously, the resulting deluge would engulf the city of Mingjiang, turning it into a flooded wasteland.

Train derailments, massacres on the waterways, floods overwhelming the city.

Amidst the death, chaos, and unrest, disciples controlling gangs, gambling dens, and brothels would rally their followers and exploit the turmoil to unleash indiscriminate slaughter. How many of Mingjiang’s people would survive?
