Establish the national religion!
Three words, heavy as a thousand pounds!
After the King of Chechi Kingdom finished speaking, he felt a weakness in his legs, and he sat powerlessly on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes.
The surrounding ministers, seeing the King like this, couldn't help but cover their faces and weep.
Everyone knew how much determination it took to make this decision!
The King of Chechi Kingdom had endured twenty years of drought to prevent the people from being enslaved by the Western Heaven.
The reason for not establishing a national religion was precisely because the King knew that this drought was nothing compared to being enslaved by the Western Heaven for all eternity.
Chechi Kingdom was the only paradise left in the West Niu He Continent. The other countries had been tormented beyond recognition!
But now, Chechi Kingdom was finally going to follow in their footsteps, becoming a soulless believer, pushing its people into hell, and making them wait for the Buddha's salvation.
Clearly, it was they who were pushing the people into hell.
The King sat powerlessly on the ground, and when he thought of how the people of Chechi Kingdom would become slaves in the merit factory, tears streamed down his face.
"I have failed the people, failed Chechi Kingdom!"
The King cried out incessantly.
"Your Majesty, take care of your health!"
However, Venerable Weiluan Wang said proudly:
"Shut up, being able to respect Heaven and worship Buddha is your great honor. Only you uncivilized people dare to reject the Buddha's benevolence!"
"If you think there is a problem with Western religion, you should improve it, not think about how to escape and attack it, understand?"
"Stop crying. Establish the national religion here immediately, don't waste time!"
"Who knows if these demon beasts who respect Heaven and worship Buddha have the patience to wait for you to delay."
Venerable Weiluan Wang played the part of a petty man who had his way to the fullest. And now he was indeed sure of victory, so he didn't care about anything else.
At this moment, everyone was even more enraged upon hearing Venerable Weiluan Wang's arrogant declaration.
Tang Sanzang wanted to rush up and give Venerable Weiluan Wang a few punches, but Sun Wukong stopped him.
"Master, forget it, calm down, don't be impulsive!"
Tang Sanzang's veins were bulging, and his muscles were knotted.
"As a scripture seeker, if I can't help when I see injustice on the road, what kind of Buddhism am I learning! That Venerable Weiluan Wang is too arrogant, this monk will teach him a lesson!"
"And you can only be here filled with impotent rage. After the national religion is established, if anyone dares to do anything disrespectful to my religion, they will be killed without mercy! Hahahaha!"
Establishing the national religion naturally meant that they were not afraid of Chechi Kingdom going back on their word. By that time, the Western Heaven would have completely seized the fortune of Chechi Kingdom.
Even if Chechi Kingdom wanted to go back on their word, they would have to think about the people still under the threat of the beast tide. For the sake of the safety of the people, Chechi Kingdom would not be allowed to break free.
They had a firm grip!
"Hurry up and hold the ceremony for establishing the national religion! Otherwise, if the demon beasts lose their patience, you won't have a chance!" Venerable Weiluan Wang shouted.
At this moment, the King of Chechi Kingdom had no choice but to let his ministers arrange things.
And at this moment, the monks who had been punished to do hard labor jumped out one by one, full of triumph.
"Hahahaha! As expected, good will prevail over evil. My Western Heaven's Buddha light will forever envelop Chechi Kingdom!"
"The people of Chechi Kingdom are really ungrateful. They only established the national religion now. It seems that I must make them repay their previous sins in the future."
"Hmph, and those court officials who dare to say that we are parasites, who slander the Buddha, will all pay the price!"
"That's right, a bunch of things that don't know how to live or die, always thinking about disobeying my Buddha, don't they know that my Buddha is the only light in the world?"
The monks were now breathing a sigh of relief. Before this, Chechi Kingdom had respected Taoism and destroyed Buddhism, and their days of carefree life were gone.
Now, once the national religion is established, they will forever be above the high heavens, and even the national law of Chechi Kingdom cannot restrict them.
Because, in the West Niu He Continent, Buddhism is the national law, and the national law is not worth mentioning.
The country respects the religion, and the religion respects the monks.
The words of the monks are the rules.
This had already been demonstrated many times in many countries in the West Niu He Continent.
Now, Chechi Kingdom will be their world!
Thinking about how they can run rampant in Chechi Kingdom in the future, they are extremely proud!
And at this moment, no one can stop the Western Heaven from establishing the national religion.
In just a few hours, the high platform for establishing the national religion had been built.
This should have been a grand event, but everyone's face was filled with grief and indignation.
This was even more humiliating than having the country conquered and the capital occupied.
If it was war, the people would only suffer for one lifetime, and then they could be freed.
But this was the establishment of a religion. In the future, they would be slaves in the human merit factory, and their souls would enter the Avici Hell after death.
Forever and ever, unable to escape!
This was the most terrifying thing!
However, Chechi Kingdom had no way to deal with it.
The Western Heaven had ten thousand ways to force Chechi Kingdom to establish a national religion, palace coup, drought, beast tide... Having governed the West Niu He Continent for so long, the Western Heaven had plenty of methods.
Venerable Weiluan Wang leaped and came to the King, and said arrogantly:
"Take this and enshrine it on the high platform, insert incense and kneel to worship, and you will be illuminated by the Buddha's light of my Western Heaven."
"Don't think about playing tricks. There are countless golden Buddhas, but the lives of your Chechi Kingdom people can only be lived once."
Venerable Weiluan Wang handed a small golden Buddha to the King of Chechi Kingdom, and also threatened the King to prevent the King from denying it.
The King took the golden Buddha, and the coldness of the golden Buddha made the King feel piercingly cold.
He only felt the humiliation in his heart burning like fire, but he had no choice at this moment.
At this moment, the King of Chechi Kingdom stood before the high platform, as if mourning his parents, walking up step by step.
Every step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of everyone, incomparably heavy.
The King slowly placed the golden Buddha in front of the high platform. At this point, it seemed that everything was over, and no accidents would happen.
Those ministers and people, seeing the King walking onto the high platform, couldn't help but feel grief in their hearts.
Some people even wanted to commit suicide before the national religion was established so that they would not suffer for all eternity.
All eyes were on the King of Chechi Kingdom. As long as he knelt down and inserted incense, everything would be over.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
