The Supreme God

Austin stood in the entrance of the temple and looked around. To his surprise, it was tiny, occupying an area of only ten square meters.

Right in the center, there was a Buddhist altar. On top of it was an amiable statue of an ancient Buddha.

In front of the altar, there was an old, crooked altar table.

A meticulously-sculpted wooden fish sat motionlessly on the altar.

Besides, in a corner in the yard of the temple, there was a dried log leaning against the wall. Everything related to the temple was serene.

Austin couldn't spot anything else worth noting.

Feeling slightly confused and surprised, Austin furrowed his eyebrows so that they created dark shadows over his eyes.

The interior of the temple was desolate and dilapidated. It didn't look important.

"Sir, does the state of this place surprise you?"

the middle-aged monk asked with a smile while he observed Austin.

"Not really.

According to Buddhism, everything will eventually become nothing. If a Buddhist wants to cultivate, they can't have too many distractions in their way,"

Austin said calmly, wiping the expression off his face.

"Sir, have you cultivated Buddhism before?"

the middle-aged monk asked curiously, stunned to hear that Austin was so knowledgeable on the subject.

When he didn't receive an immediate answer, he quickly added, "It's a pity that you didn't choose the same path as us."

The monk glanced at Austin with an all-knowing look.

"You are right this time.

It's true. My way of cultivation is not the Buddhist way,"

Austin answered, slowly nodding.

At Austin's current level, it was obvious that he wouldn't have wasted time and would have developed his own way of doing things.

"What a pity. You are not only gifted, you also have a strong comprehension ability. If you choose the same path as us, there's a chance you could pass down the inheritance of the true Buddha,"

the middle-aged monk said, sighing.

"The inheritance of the true Buddha?

So your avatar is only here because you're waiting for a successor to show up?"

As Austin asked this, his heart skipped a beat. His eyes stared earnestly at the monk.

"Yes.

I have been waiting for a successor of the Buddhism to come here all this time.
