"Bold!" A monk who stood before Tathagata stood up. He had delicate features and a kind of pure madness and persistence in his eyes.
It is Tathagata's most proud disciple--Jin Chanzi.
"Lin Feng! Our Buddha is all-knowing and all-powerful, and all sufferings are trials. How can an ordinary person like you see the profoundness of the Buddha's teachings? The Buddha is an almighty god, and his will is Truth!"
Lin Feng looked at Jin Chanzi and felt happy in his heart. I'm just waiting for you, little guy.
"Jin Chanzi, right? I heard that you are a genius in debating? Okay, I won't fight with you today, I'll talk to you about logic."
Lin Feng put his hands in his pockets and said in a leisurely tone, "You just said that Tathagata is 'all-powerful', right?"
"Of course!" Jin Chanzi proudly raised his chest, "Buddha is omnipotent!"
"Okay." A hint of cunning flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, "Then let me ask you, since Tathagata is omnipotent, can he create a stone that even he can't lift?"
As soon as this question came up, the entire Great Thunderclap Temple became silent instantly.
It was eerily quiet.
It was a collective outage caused by a logical deadlock.
Jin Chanzi's original proud expression froze instantly. His high-speed "Buddha Brain" began to frantically calculate various solutions to this problem.
If the answer is Yes: Then Buddha created this stone, but he couldn't lift it. Since he can't lift it, it means he is not omnipotent!
If the answer is No: Then Buddha couldn't even create a stone, which means he is not omnipotent!
This is an endless loop, a logical paradox that spans time and space.
"This... this..." Jin Chanzi broke out in cold sweat instantly. He opened his mouth like a fish starved of oxygen and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Buddha Tathagata sat upright on the golden lotus, with the golden light on his face shaking wildly. His Dao Fruit was trembling, because he found that under the existing Buddhist Order logic system, this problem was really hopeless!
"Can't answer it? Then try another simple one."
Lin Feng pressed forward step by step, and his voice was full of magic:
"You said Equality of All Beings. Then why does Tathagata sit on such a high lotus platform and ask others to kneel down and worship? Why do mortals have to suffer from Six Paths of Reincarnation, but you can live forever? Since we are equal, then Tathagata come down and sweep the floor, and let the sweeping monk sit on it and watch?"
"You say that the four elements are all empty. Since they are all empty, your golden body is worth a lot of money, right? Where did these golden agates in your hall come from? Since they are empty, can you give them all to me Heavenly Strategy Manor as materials so that you can go naked to save all sentient beings?"
"Pfft--!"
Jin Chanzi finally couldn't bear the logical blow from this dimension.
His three views were shattered in an instant. The Dharma he had cultivated and the sutras he had recited throughout his life were as fragile as a piece of waste paper in front of the two words "logic".
"Almighty... is fake... equality... is also fake..."
Jin Chanzi was shaky, his eyes were blank, and he suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! It turns out that what I have been cultivating for so many years is a joke! What a Buddha, what a scripture! It's all logical loopholes! It's all self-deception!"
In full view of everyone, he tore at his cassock frantically, tore off the rosary that represented his identity, and scattered it all over the floor.
"I don't want to practice cultivation anymore! I don't want to be a monk anymore! I want to study mathematics! I want to study physics! Only things with strict logic are Truth!"
After saying that, Jin Chanzi ran directly towards the feet of Spirit Mountain, shouting as he ran, "It's time to disperse! Everyone, it's time to disperse! Buddha himself can't lift a stone!"
"Jin Chanzi! Traitor! Come back here!"
Tathagata was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His most proud successor was deceived by Lin Feng's few words and turned into a vulgar person on the spot? When word got out, where would Buddhist Order's face go?
"Lin Feng!!!"
Tathagata's golden body suddenly swelled, and a shadow like Thousand-Armed Guanyin appeared behind it. Mercy had long since disappeared, replaced by extreme ferocity.
"You messed up my disciple's Daoist mind and destroyed my Spirit Mountain foundation! Today, I will let you see what the real 'physical degree' is!"
"That's right."
Lin Feng sneered and slowly put on the dark black anti-Buddhist sunglasses.
He pulled out a "Godslaying Katana" (produced by the system, specializing in cutting various defensive shields) that flashed red light with high-frequency particle vibration from his back.
"If you can't talk the truth, just take action. This is your true face."
"The whole army obeys the order!"
Lin Feng's voice spread throughout Three Worlds, "The debate is officially over. Now--"
"Enter violent demolition!"
"Stop this Great Thunderclap Temple!"
"Boom--!!!"
Hundreds of ships launched a salvo, and the beam of light from the psychic main cannon instantly tore Spirit Mountain's Buddha light into pieces. The ultimate bloody battle between technology and divine power officially broke out.
The wind has stopped.
Spirit Mountain, which was originally extremely noisy because of Jin Chanzi running crazy and streaking and the broken hearts of ten thousand Buddhas, suddenly fell into a suffocating silence at this moment.
Jin Chanzi's crazy laughter is still echoing in the valley, like a loud slap in the face, hitting every Arhat, Bodhisattva and even Buddha in the face. It is the sound of the collapse of faith and the shattering of the logic of the old era.
In front of Great Thunderclap Temple, Buddha Tathagata is sitting on top of Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus. His big face, which was originally compassionate, round, and seemed to have seen everything in the world, is undergoing terrifying changes at this moment. The compassion is gone, replaced by a coldness and rage that can freeze time and space.
Even when Sun Wukong made a big fuss about the Heavenly Palace, Tathagata never lost his composure like this.
"Lin Feng..."
These two words came out of Tathagata's mouth. It didn't look like they were talking, but like two stars crushing each other, making a dull roar.
"You destroyed my disciple's Daoist heart, disrupted my Spirit Mountain purity, and insulted my Buddhist Order dignity. This poor monk originally turned to the bright moon with this heart, but the bright moon shone in the ditch. Since you are stubborn and refuse Truth, that poor monk will no longer hold back today."
"Buzz--"
As Tathagata finished speaking, the entire Western Ox-Gift Continent sky instantly changed color.
It was no longer a golden auspicious cloud, but turned into a depressing dark golden color. Tathagata's body began to skyrocket crazily. Ten feet, a hundred feet, a thousand feet, ten thousand feet... until the sky above his head and the earth beneath his feet.
At that moment, Spirit Mountain seemed to have turned into a small mound under his feet. The Buddha's light behind him was no longer soft, but turned into a substantial golden flame, which was the angry "Wisdom King Karmic Fire". Even the space was burned and distorted, making an overwhelming creaking sound.
"Lin Feng! Be careful! This old fat man is getting anxious!"
On the flagship "Lin Family" in the distance, Nezha's expression changed drastically, and he clenched the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand unconsciously. He was too familiar with this aura. The monkey back then was defeated by this move.
"This is a Law of Causality strike! Turn on all the shields!" Yang Jian roared, the Heavenly Eye on his forehead beat wildly, and the warning signal went off the charts.
Lin Feng is suspended in mid-air, as small as a grain of dust.
But he didn't retreat. He just slowly raised his head and looked at the golden giant towering over the sky through his sunglasses, with that cynical sneer still hanging on the corner of his mouth.
