A Buddhist chant echoed.
Hands came together in prayer.
The elderly monk of Tongshou Temple, who had long accepted his fate, calmly faced death.
Yes.
He was prepared to die.
In the monk's mind, his death was inevitable.
And it would be one of utter annihilation.
"I imagine it will hurt quite a bit?"
The old monk thought to himself with a hint of self-mockery.
However, the next scene made him slightly freeze in disbelief.
The raging tidal wave ceased its advance.
It was as though it had been frozen in place, suspended before his eyes.
No!
To be precise, time had stopped.
The tidal wave stood still like a sculpture.
Then...
It slowly abated.
As the monk had calmed the hearts of many, the massive wave, too, was pacified, transforming into a gentle stream and flowing downstream.
Under the faint golden radiance, a calming power soothed all.
Humanity.
Animals.
All living beings.
Harmony and serenity replaced chaos.
