When the news that Tathagata Buddha had gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao spread throughout the Three Realms, the entire Three Realms boiled over with excitement.
Everyone was immensely shocked and horrified, as it seemed completely unexpected that Tathagata, who had most recently become a Sub-Sage, could become a Saint earlier than all other Sub-Sages.
This was an inconceivable event that took everyone by surprise.
However, what equally shook the Six Paths of the Three Realms was the demise of Ran Deng Buddha at the Flowing Sand River.
"Ran Deng Buddha possessed boundless mana and vast divine powers. His cultivation reached the heavens and penetrated the earth, making him nearly invincible within the Quasi-Saint Realm. How could he have perished at the Flowing Sand River?"
"This must be a false report, just like the news of Tathagata becoming a Saint. It can't possibly be true."
