In the blink of an eye, the square where they sang and danced had turned into a primitive, bloody hunting ground.
They, the tribesmen, offered their greatest respects towards the mightiest warrior.

Everyone forgot about the first precept of buddhism—abstaining from killing!

“Eggborn” smiled proudly and gazed into the distance.
There were actually traces of demonic beasts throughout the entire city.
Soldiers clad in armour and wielding weapons fought against them.

These demonic beasts were bloodthirsty and deranged, but most of them were not powerful, while the guards were well-prepared.
They worked together well and easily suppressed them.
Killing them was just a matter of time.

Apart from those in the square, most of the residents hid in their homes, so they were unaffected.

As a result, he did not continue fighting.
He descended from the air slowly, and everyone rushed over, lifting him up high into the air and tossing him towards the sky again and again, calling out “Hurray!”

From the corner of his eyes, he spotted the Upraised Light abbot again, who nodded towards him.

No matter what, this idea was indeed effective.
Most of his memories had recovered, and he only needed a few days at most before they completely returned to him.

However, he felt strangely uneasy, like something was amiss, but he had no time to assemble the memory fragments into a complete picture right now.
He was not certain where the issue was.

The howls of the demonic beasts died down very soon, but the people on the square were imbued with an abnormal emotion, perhaps because they had been doused in demonic blood.
They gathered around the demonic beast’s corpse and actually began dancing around again.

Their dance this time was very different.
The men pushed and shoved, while the women began to bicker.
It was extremely tense.

Some men and women downright embraced each other and began feeling each other up, stripping off their clothes.
However, because there were more men than women, the distribution was uneven, leading to even more disputes and chaos.

“Eggborn” was young, but he still became a target for the women.
He was forced to jump off the demonic beast’s corpse and avoid these crazy women.

The soldiers were drawn over by the disturbance here.
When they saw this, they were all dumbfounded.
They had no idea what to do.

The Upraised Light abbot shook his head, bringing his palms together.
“Amitābha, please pardon my sins.”

If he had taken action personally, the demonic beast would have been destroyed the moment it appeared, and these people would not have been splattered by the demonic blood, avoiding all these sins.
However, compared to what he was about to do, these sins were nothing.

“Eggborn” could not help but laugh aloud.
He found it all extremely fascinating.
If they held these gatherings a few more times, there would be children running around everywhere in a few years’ time.

Suddenly, sleepiness overcame him, making him yawn.
He remembered it had already been a very long time since he last slept, and the memories that constantly surged forth made his head light as well.
As a result, he just laid down on the demonic beast’s back and began snoring away.
He was no longer worried about any nightmares.

As for those powerful enemies in the dreams, hmph! I shoudn’t fear them.
They should fear me!

The long night passed, and the sun rose up in the east.
The first ray of sunlight landed on the square.

The demonic beast’s corpse vapourised as black mist, revealing its pale bones very soon, which also rapidly dissipated.

“Eggborn” woke up.
He slept soundly, without any dreams at all.
He stretched his arm.
He had grown significantly bigger, already a teenager now.

The men and women on the square woke up as well and black mist rose up from their naked bodies too.
They looked at one another and let out a yelp.

“Eggborn” grinned and took out the demonic heart again, only to see it dissipate as well.
It vanished before long, and everyone on the square had run away too.

Everything that happened last night felt extremely surreal, like a great dream.
This was clearly paradise, so why would there be demonic beasts?

The Upraised Light abbot walked over.
“It’s time for us to set off.”

“To where?”

“Nālandā.”
