Back at Zero One Building, Ling Yi was wide awake.
Before encountering the White Bone, Ling Yi always thought this world was just an ordinary world.
But now...
Looking down at the night view of Dafeng City from his vantage point, Ling Yi felt a growing sense of crisis and urgency.
" Xiao Ling, let's activate Project Zero," Ling Yi said in a slightly low voice.
"Sir, please confirm the command!"
"Command confirmed." Ling Yi nodded without hesitation.
"Command confirmed. Project Zero officially launched. Starting up the Zero Quantum Server... Server startup successful. Connecting to the Quantum Net... Quantum Net startup successful. Generating Quantum nodes..."
"The server is operating normally, the Quantum Net is operating normally, and the Quantum nodes have been generated."
Ling Yi nodded.
Perhaps it's due to the habit of time travel, or perhaps it's due to subconscious influence.
Ling Yi used Quantum technology again.
Ling Yi has used this technology in at least ten ordinary worlds, not for any other reason than that the technology is easy to use.
No matter how hard you try to seal away memories, some habits and instincts cannot be sealed away.
"Monitor Star Sea Entertainment comprehensively, leaving no stone unturned, not even a single cleaner inside."
"Yes!"
"Monitor all celebrities in the entertainment industry, record their daily lives, and report any abnormalities immediately."
"Yes!"
Ling Yi waved his hand, and the water glass that was on the coffee table behind him suddenly disappeared. The next moment, a flash of blue light appeared in Ling Yi's hand, and the glass appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Ling Yi smiled with satisfaction and murmured, " Journey to the West, immortals, demons, Buddhist School? Heh, this world seems to be much more interesting than I imagined."
"Sir, there are some inappropriate messages about you and White Bone circulating online. Would you like to block them?"
"Need not!"
In this situation, it's not him who should be anxious, but the White Bone.
Since the White Bone wanted to obtain the Power of Faith, it must have cared a lot about its reputation.
Any negative news will affect the collection of Power of Faith.
White Bone has earned a great deal of fame for herself over the years through Star Sea Entertainment.
Although she has never acted in a movie or released any hit songs, she has accumulated a large number of fans through variety shows produced by Star Sea Entertainment.
In the eyes of the audience, White Bone is the kind of silly yet pure and kind goddess. Coupled with her background, she is truly thriving in the entertainment industry, unmatched by anyone.
Over the years, she has appeared in almost every phenomenal variety show.
For example, Keep Running, Limit, reasoning, the Fridge, ace, and White Bone are all frequent characters.
In her previous battle with Son Goku, she was definitely holding back, or rather, Son Goku, who had only recently transmigrated, was no match for White Bone.
In fact, if the White Bone Demon were to use its full power, Son Goku would likely be Instant Kill.
The White Bone had the advantage of traveling through time, arriving from the Journey to the Journey to the West World Traversal more than thirty years earlier.
From the Lady White Bone, who should have been killed by Son Goku's three blows on the Journey to the Journey to the West, to a powerful Big Shot has risen to prominence, her rise and fall is truly remarkable.
Have the Buddhist School Spirit Mountain, the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court, and the many demons of Western Continent of Cattle all already crossed over to this world?
If they had also traveled through time, what would they be doing now?
Meanwhile, after returning to his Star Sea Entertainment, White Bone was also busy.
"Madam, now that Ling Yi knows of our existence, why don't you eliminate Ling Yi?" Yang Dami asked, puzzled.
"He's dangerous, burdened with heavy Karma, we can't touch him," the White Bone- faced man said grimly.
"Even with Madam's current Divine Venerable status, she cannot be touched?" Yang Dami found it hard to believe.
"It's not that we can't move it, but it wouldn't be worth the risk. Let the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist School sect test it out first," White Bone said, shaking his head.
"Will this person's appearance affect Madam's grand plan?" asked Song Zhuer, who was standing next to Yang Dami.
"That depends on Ling Yi's choice. Even if he was once a powerful figure, his strength will be limited in this world. If he doesn't know what's good for him, then he should be killed."
White Bone sneered, saying disdainfully, "How many powerful figures have died at our hands over the years?"
"A great era of contention is about to arrive; those who comply will prosper, and those who resist will perish."
"What I'm most worried about right now is Buddhist School and the Heavenly Court, especially Buddhist School. Buddhist School already has a tradition in this world, and it wouldn't be difficult for it to be revived with Buddhist School's Tathagata."
"Madam, why didn't you let us sisters take action and kill the Buddha before Buddhist School flourished?" Yang Dami asked Tathagata.
White Bone said helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to? There are some things I can't tell you right now. You just need to remember to suppress them covertly, but never confront them head-on."
"We'll talk about it again after the Journey to the Journey to the West resumes."
After a pause, the White Bone continued, "Your current task is to maintain your respective images and continuously extract the Power of Faith from your fans."
"Furthermore, you must not reveal any flaws. Play your respective roles well. You have taken over these people's identities, so you must make good use of them and manage the situation carefully. Do not do anything foolish."
"Especially you, Yang Dami, find a way to divorce that human yourself. You can use some methods if necessary, but you must not damage your reputation."
"Do not let momentary pleasure tempt you to evil thoughts. Heaven and earth have their own Karma. Now that things are going so well, we must not allow ourselves to fall into karmic obstacles!"
White Bone looked at Yang Dami and coldly reminded him.
"Please rest assured, Madam, we will wake up naturally!"
"I hope so. I'm doing this for your own good. The world is a dazzling place, and life is fleeting. I hope you will take care of yourselves."
The women responded respectfully.
The next morning, White Bone received a message from his assistant.
"You mean, Ling Yi went to the Xuanyuan Pavilion?"
"Yes, according to the information I received, Ling Yi drove to the Xuanyuan Pavilion around seven o'clock this morning," the assistant said respectfully.
"In addition, there are numerous rumors circulating online about Madam and Ling Yi, seemingly deliberately fueled by someone, and it has now topped the trending searches."
"What?"
White Bone was startled and quickly took out her phone to check. Sure enough, the top trending topic was a video of her having dinner with Ling Yi.
The angle of the camera was excellent, and the video was short, clearly edited.
In the video, both of them are laughing, appearing to be having a pleasant conversation.
The video itself isn't particularly remarkable, but the caption is incredibly well-written.
Trending topics are all about how they go viral. Two sentences are just touching on the topic, and eight are just nonsense. They only go viral when they're half true and half false. Most of the comments are from paid trolls, and the rest are just idiots following the trolls around.
Basically, they're criticizing White Bone for being short-sighted, accusing Ling Yi of trying to climb the social ladder, inducing fans to unfollow them, and fooling idiots into following the hype.
If there wasn't someone pulling the strings behind this, even if you beat White Bone to death, you wouldn't believe it.
"Are they from Heavenly Court, or from Buddhist School? Or perhaps both?"
There should be people from both sides.
In the modern world, nothing is easier to gain faith than becoming a celebrity. Therefore, almost all the gods and demons who traveled from Journey to the West have become celebrities.
Today, the battle for faith is a battle for fans, or in other words, a battle for traffic.
The White Bone had long been coveted.
Faith is not only about personal strength, but also about Longevity.
Due to the suppression of the rules in the Dharma-ending Age, these people who traveled from Journey to the Journey to the West not only had their strength greatly reduced, but they were also no longer Longevity.
To achieve Longevity, one must acquire sufficient Power of Faith to cultivate one's true Divinity and become a Power of Faith. As long as the Divinity is immortal, one can live forever.
Now that someone has taken away her faith, the White Bone is naturally unwilling; this can be described as a life-or-death feud.
"Hmph!" White Bone snorted coldly, and transformed into an ordinary-looking young woman.
"Ignore it for now. Tell Yang Dami and the others not to do anything until I get back."
After saying that, White Bone turned and left the Star Sea Entertainment Building, choosing a low-key black minivan and heading towards the Xuanyuan Pavilion.
Xuanyuan Pavilion is the most upscale leisure and entertainment club in Dafeng City.
This place caters to either celebrities or the wealthy.
The true mastermind behind the Xuanyuan Pavilion is still White Bone, but not many people know this.
When White Bone arrived at the Xuanyuan Pavilion, he happened to see Ling Yi chatting enthusiastically with a middle-aged Uncle in the hall.
" Taibai, aren't you busy with work lately? You come to the Xuanyuan Pavilion every day; anyone who didn't know better would think this is your home."
White Bone sat down directly next to Ling Yi and said to the middle-aged Uncle.
"The show was canceled, and now it's been banned across the entire internet. What other options do they have but to come to this 'gentle haven't had a chance to live a life of ease and comfort? It's all thanks to you," the middle-aged Uncle said Yin and Yang.
"You can eat anything, but you can't say anything carelessly. If your hands are clean, how could anyone catch you doing something wrong? There's a saying, 'You reap what you sow!'"
At this point, the White Bone's voice turned cold, and it said in a chilling tone, " Taibai Jinxing, this is not the Journey to the West World, and there is no Heavenly Court here. Even if the Jade Emperor were here in person, he wouldn't dare to speak to me with such an attitude."
"Don't think I wouldn't dare kill you. I'm not killing you just because I don't want to break the rules."
"Hehe, Lady White Bone is right. Who dares to oppose you now? Even the Jade Emperor has to be wary of you. How could I, Taibai, dare to oppose you?"
"It's good that you know."
After White Bone finished speaking, he looked at Ling Yi, who had a rather amused expression, and asked, "How did you find him?"
"If I want to find someone, even hiding in the Water Dao Central City help."
Ling Yi's words sounded extremely awkward to Taibai and White Bone, as if he were comparing them to... cockroaches? rats from the Water Dao?
Ling Yi was indeed quite angry, and the more Xiao Ling investigated, the angrier Ling Yi became.
Whether it's the Heavenly Court, Spirit Mountain Ling, or this ambitious White Bone, these bastards who traveled from Journey to the West...
Those who want to be celebrities become celebrities, and those who want to be internet celebrities become internet celebrities; these are not what makes Ling Yi angry.
Ling Yi was angry because the celebrities or internet influencers they banned were either killed or eaten.
What Ling Yi even more was that these guys specifically targeted and harmed the celebrities of the Ancient Country.
The world is so big, and there are so many celebrities from other countries, some of whom even have World Grade influence.
Wouldn't it be better for him to go and ruin celebrities in other countries?
Whether it's faith or incense offerings, what they're fighting over is ultimately just a struggle for the Ancient Country's spiritual Karmic Luck.
They are truly a prime example of infighting among themselves.
