Once again, he forced his eyes open. He had not been mistaken. There was indeed a golden light emanating from the towering mountain peak.
The golden light ascended, as if a grand sun was about to drive away the darkness of the night.
The crowd that was about to flee stopped once more, gazing in the direction where the golden light was surging.
The radiance of the golden light grew increasingly dazzling.
The next moment, a sight that left everyone dumbfounded arose.
A colossal golden figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Even more unbelievable was that the golden figure bore the semblance of a Buddha!
The Buddha stood among the mountains, akin to a gigantic being from mythology, reaching the sky and standing upright on earth.
As his gaze surveyed the area beneath him, everyone felt as if they had been reduced to mere ants.
"Is...is the Buddha manifesting?"
All of them stood with eyes wide and mouths agape as they watched the unfolding scene, rooted to the spot.
