Chapter 671: Summoning Across Time_2
The so-called knowledge is merely a record summarized by those with high spiritual sensitivity who perceive the laws of all things in the universe. Its essence is nothing more than fragments of various manifestations of the Tao that can be received and understood by weak and ignorant common people.
It's like the dragon from the Nine Heavens falling into the mundane world, leaving only a fragment of its scale armor. The weak mortals who are fortunate enough to find it worship it as a divine object, and some even actively pursue such divine objects, hoping to piece together that grand existence beyond mortal imagination with these shattered scales.
But in truth, the dragon soaring in the sky, the mortals who chase it, and even the entire world are nothing but a thought in the mind of a greater existence.
When it is happy, it shapes this idea, giving everything meaning and allowing it to be born.
When it is overcome with laziness and does not want to move, then everything loses its meaning and can only perish.
That thought is the Tao, it is Taiyi, and it is the basis upon which the deities of the creation of the world shape everything. It is the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things.
The Tao evolves everything, and all is born because of Taiyi.
The weak need to pursue knowledge, but Taiyi...
"Tsk, I guess I understand now what my peculiar inspiration is. It's your report to the Heavenly Dao, isn't it?"
In that fleeting glimpse of the Tao, Dorothy gradually understood everything.
The Tao is the boss, and the Heavenly Dao is the secretary. The boss may not understand the company's operations as the secretary does, possibly knowing nothing at all.
However, when the boss asks for specific information, the secretary must promptly provide a report. Moreover, the report must be simple, clear, and easy to understand, ensuring that the illiterate boss fully comprehends it.
The homebody witch recalled her own inspiration. Every time she pondered a problem, the final answer was so meticulous, it might as well have come with the words "even a novice could learn" written on it.
Oh, am I, the illiterate boss, myself?
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I'm just a Destiny Pattern Taiyi, not the real Taiyi; there's a bit of a difference."
Dorothy quickly shook her head, thinking this in her heart.
Taiyi is the Tao, but a person with Destiny Pattern Taiyi is demoted to merely the child of the Tao.
Although the boss's foolish son is still the boss, there's ultimately a slight difference between them.
Of course, for the company's employees, this difference is negligible.
Yes, the boss's foolish son went to the wrong company for work. He was supposed to hone his skills as the president at the more successful East Company, but the directionally challenged ended up working hard at the underperforming West Company.
Bad news: I went to the wrong work unit. My beautiful big sister, the Heavenly Dao secretary, is no more.
Good news: This company is also owned by my family, and there's still the beautiful Miss Heavenly Principle secretary here.
Sadly, though, the president's order only works at the East Company, not enough to allow a presidency at the West Company. The foolish son can only don women's clothing to join the reception department that hires only female employees, with only Miss Heavenly Principle knowing his true identity, secretly handing him cheat sheets.
Emmmm.....
"I feel like the boss's foolish son is even more embarrassing now."
Dorothy thought to herself, somewhat speechlessly.
But whatever, it doesn't matter. Although the president enjoys idle activities, doesn't want to work, and just wants to be a beautiful front desk receptionist, now that the East Company's team, sent to the West Company, dares to flaunt their power and attempt to exploit her, it's getting somewhat intolerable.
"Alright, I've had enough. I'll reveal the truth. I am your president."
The president, who could bear it no longer, curled a smile and then pulled out the East Company's president order given by her mother and threw it at the boastful captain of the visiting team.
"Congratulations on graduating from our company."
Though this president order at the West Company is somewhat symbolic as decoration, for these visiting employees from East Company, Dorothy's presidential authority was limitless.
Izanagi, having devoured the Hyakki, coalesced into an Evil Buddha's true form, though just formed and still lacking maturity. Moreover, it was attained through the wrongful path and cheating, unlike proper methods, hence among the Buddha, it was the lowest grade, incomparable with a true Buddha.
But even the weakest Buddha is still a Buddha, a genuine Sage Level combat power, and one with certification, unlike a pseudo sage like senior Fanny.
Even if barely passing by skating the minimum line, at least they obtained certification, and having certification versus none are two entirely different concepts, with a world of difference between them.
No matter how weak, a sage is still a sage, and that is absolutely not an existence Dorothy can challenge right now, even with the Hyakki assisting her, it's completely futile.
Not all peaks can battle across levels like their mother, defeating enemies above their rank. Under the power of this Evil Buddha, pseudo peaks like the Guard Bureau Chief or Miss Oiran would just be like weaklings that could be crushed with a snap.
Even if Lady Hachishaku or Rokurokubi, those certified peaks went ahead, they'd barely manage to protect themselves, certainly without the strength to defend others.
Normally, this Evil Buddha, a King Level existence, should be slaughtering effortlessly in the Glorious Diamond Bureau, but unfortunately, she met someone who could directly ban accounts.
