At this moment, an utter silence fell.
"Huh?"
Guang Ming stood frozen in place, his entire life flashing before his eyes. Cold sweat began to stream down his face uncontrollably.
'What have I done?'
'I became the Buddha's Son, leader of the Pure Land. I plotted across the realm, schemed against the four territories, and held the world's destiny in my hands... But was that really damn me?'
'That wasn't me at all!'
Guang Ming knew himself all too well. He was just a simple man with no great ambitions, someone who just wanted to live a good life with enough to eat and drink. He would never have taken the risk to do something so world-shaking. And yet, through all these years, he hadn't sensed that anything was amiss!
'What in the world was I doing?'
Guang Ming stared blankly at his own hands. His Golden Body, normally full and robust, now seemed to be nothing more than a thin layer of human skin.
'...Ah.'
