Hearing Son Goku's words, Tang Sanzang said disdainfully, "How many blows can you wield with that staff? Now that you've lost your Bronze Skin and Iron Bones and your powerful Magic Power, you'll probably be Qiqi Magic Power after just a couple of blows."
Son Goku gave a wry smile; he had no way to refute it, Tang Sanzang was telling the truth.
Ling Yi then asked curiously, "Why did Brother Monkey King's Bronze Skin and Iron Bones disappear? Wasn't that Brother Monkey's own power?"
Son Goku shook his head. He had only recently transmigrated here, so naturally he didn't know the reason.
"As far as I know, anyone who comes to this world will have their physical strength suppressed to the level of an ordinary person. Only their Magic Power can be retained to a small extent, but the power of their spells is also reduced to almost nothing."
"It's as if everyone's level is reset to zero, and their skills Weaken to one percent of their original value. Occasionally, someone with Karmic Luck can bring over some innate magic weapons, but even then, they seem to be sealed, and their power is greatly reduced."
"In reality, no matter how much one cultivates in this world, the upper limit of one's strength is fixed. Tathagata it's the White Bone or the old Buddha, all their efforts will ultimately amount to nothing more than a caged bird or a fish in a jar."
Tang Sanzang paused for a moment, then continued, "They vie for the Power of Faith, creating false gods, but it's all just castles in the air, illusions in the Shuiyue."
"Take the Jade Emperor Haotian for example. He now has tens of millions of fans and has become a false god of emperors. But if one day his image collapses and all his fans leave, then his so-called false god of emperors will instantly crumble."
"Modern people, what absolute faith do they have? All the ups and downs, all the fighting and scrambling, in the end it's all just a joke. Everything is hard work, why bother with trivial matters!"
It can only be said that he truly lived up to his reputation as Tang Sanzang; his insight into the issues was indeed profound and to the point.
"Monk, all you've said is nonsense. I don't want to be a pawn anymore. If you have a solution, I'll try it. If you don't, save your breath," Son Goku said with dissatisfaction.
"If you can beat them, everything is fine; if you can't, then all my words are just nonsense." Tang Sanzang waved his hand dismissively.
"You can't?"
"It's not that there are none. You know, this world restricts Buddhism, Daoism, and demons, but there are no restrictions whatsoever on the techniques that pursue the essence of all things."
The Houzi rolled its eyes and slapped Tang Sanzang on the head, making Tang Sanzang wince in pain.
Say something Old Sun, can understand.
At this moment, Ling Yi understood Tang Sanzang's meaning and asked, "Are you talking about using technology?"
Tang Sanzang nodded, but then shook his head, looking both dejected and unfathomable. It was hard to imagine how he managed to blend these two qualities together.
"It's true that we should leverage the power of technology, and technology certainly has no limits. You've probably heard the saying, 'The end of science is theology.'"
Ling Yi remained silent, lost in thought.
He felt that what Tang Sanzang said made sense, but something still felt off.
An image involuntarily appeared in my mind: Son Goku piloting a bionic mecha, battling against Kami in the universe.
Isn't the art style a bit off?
but...
Ling Yi glanced at Tang Sanzang, then at the Houzi, as if the whole picture was already off-track.
But making the Brother Monkey King a scientist seems a bit far-fetched, though he'd be a good experimental subject.
While others might not be able to achieve godlike status through technology, Ling Yi had a certain degree of confidence in his abilities.
"But becoming a god through technology is going to be difficult!"
Son Goku was too tired to listen to Tang Sanzang's rambling any longer and turned to leave.
But Ling Yi stopped him directly.
" Brother Monkey, if you don't have any plans for the time being, why don't you come to my place? I happen to have some things I'd like to ask you."
Son Goku doesn't even have a stable place to stay right now, and he's been going hungry for the past few days.
Have a meal?
Yes, eating. All those Kami, Ghost, and monsters who traveled from Journey to the Journey to the West, no matter how powerful they were before, will first become ordinary people when they come to this world.
White Bone need to eat, the Jade Emperor needs to eat, Tathagata Jade Emperor needs to eat. The Power of Faith can only strengthen the soul and maintain one's own Magic Power; it cannot satisfy hunger.
In Ling Yi's opinion, this setting was simply outrageous.
Just like in the Dragon Balls World, even though each character has the power to destroy the world, they still need to eat three meals a day, otherwise they will starve to death. Even if they are dead, they still need to eat.
Son Goku remained wary of Ling Yi, after all, Ling Yi and White Bone had become quite close.
But at this moment, Tang Sanzang spoke up, " Ling Yi, since you've already taken in the Houzi, what's one more like me?"
Ling Yi looked at him with a strange expression.
Tang Sanzang awkwardly scratched his messy hair and said, "Ahem, times are tough these days. My pharmacy hasn't had a single customer in two months."
"If you don't refuse, I'll take that as a yes. Thank goodness, I finally don't have to eat instant noodles anymore."
Ling Yi's lips twitched. This is Tang Sanzang? He looks like a fake.
Half an hour later, Ling Yi drove the two of them to his place.
"You can choose any room on the top floor. Just call out what you want to eat."
"You usually live alone in this building?" Tang Sanzang was somewhat surprised.
"There's another assistant, Xiao Ling, come out and say hello," Ling Yi said, clapping his hands.
A semi-transparent projection appeared out of thin air in front of the three people. It was the image of a handsome middle-aged Uncle dressed in a sharp suit and impeccably groomed.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ling Yi's smart home assistant Xiao Ling."
Tang Sanzang curiously circled around, scrutinizing Xiao Ling, and after a while said, "Your appearance doesn't seem to match your name quite well."
"A name is just a label. Zero represents the beginning of everything, or the end of everything. I was born from between Ling Yi, and this name suits me well."
" Ling Yi, Ling Yi? Interesting!" Tang Sanzang suddenly laughed.
Hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Ling Yi was stunned. He had never imagined that his name would be so similar to "01".
"Prepare a big meal, the usual!" Ling Yi said to Xiao Ling.
"Yes!"
Xiao Ling's figure disappeared, and the next moment, a dining table full of delicious food appeared out of thin air in a blue light.
This scene once again startled Tang Sheng and Son Goku.
"This is..."
"Didn't you say that the end of science is theology? This is Quantum Net technology; anywhere located by Xiao Ling can be instantly Teleport."
Ling Yi did not hide anything from them. On the one hand, Ling Yi had a deep affection for Tang Sanzang and Brother Monkey King from the Journey to the Journey to the West, so he instinctively trusted them.
On the other hand, Ling Yi now has the ability to protect himself, and at least he is in an invincible position.
Another point is that Ling Yi does need Son Goku and Tang Sanzang's help, especially Son Goku, as Ling Yi needs to improve Xiao Ling's Combat data.
Son Goku has fought countless battles and has extremely rich Combat experience, which is exactly what Ling Yi needs right now.
Although Ling Yi possesses the Quantum Network, allowing him to Instant Transmission to any location, its application in Combat would undoubtedly yield unexpected results.
Both Tang Sanzang and Son Goku were very satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, Tang Sanzang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a soda in his mouth, reclined on the sofa with a satisfied expression, muttering, "This is life! I'm content!"
Ling Yi and Son Goku exchanged a glance, then couldn't help but laugh. This Tang Sanzang was finished.
" Brother Monkey, I need your help."
"You say!"
"You'll work with Xiao Ling to improve the Combat module. I want to use the Quantum Net in Combat. Of course, in return, I'll give you the right to use the Quantum Net. With the Quantum Net, at least Brother Monkey can run away if he can't win a fight."
Son Goku's eyes lit up, and he instantly thought of countless ways to use Quantum Net.
He doesn't even dare to use the Flying Nimbus recklessly now. That little bit of Magic Power is not enough for him to travel 108,000 miles in one somersault, let alone fly a thousand meters.
But Quantum Net are different; if used properly, this technology can be just as powerful as his Flying Nimbus.
"Okay, no problem, when do we start?" Son Goku agreed very readily, even seeming a little impatient.
"Wait a minute, I need to study something!"
"Monk, Buddhist teachings!" Ling Yi said, extending his hand to Tang Sanzang was lounging like Ge You.
"If you don't believe in Buddhism, what kind of Buddhist practice are you doing? Also, don't call me a monk. I've left the monastic life. Call me Tangtang, Old Tang, or Xiao Tang, whatever you like, just don't call me a monk."
"Didn't you say you couldn't escape the fate of being a pawn in Journey to the Journey to the West? Sooner or later you'll just become a monk again, won't you?"
"Now that you've appeared! Of the Nine Evolutions of the Heavenly Dao, even if one is lost, the Heavenly Dao will always leave a glimmer of hope."
Do you think I'll be the one?
"Who knows? Anyway, as things stand, only you have the power to change my fate and the Houzi's."
Ling Yi glanced at Tang Sanzang, then at the Houzi, and laughed, "If I could, I would be the Escaped One, completely freeing you from the cage of fate."
Both Son Goku and Tang Sanzang were somewhat moved, but they did not show it on the surface.
Tang Sanzang took out a... USB flash drive from his robes!
"It contains Buddhist teachings that I've compiled, including various Buddhist School secret techniques Tathagata Divine Palm, the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, and the Golden Light Across the Land."
Where did you get all of these?
"Don't forget my original identity; I am Tathagata disciple of Buddha."
Ling Yi gave a thumbs-up, casually tossed the USB drive away, and it vanished into thin air.
" Xiao Ling, organize the data inside; I'll need it later."
"OK!"
Tang Sanzang said enviously, "That's really convenient."
At this moment, Son Goku said, " Ling Yi, I have the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Eight-Nine Arcane Art here. I wonder if you need them?"
Thank you!
Ling Yi certainly needed it; he was about to officially use his cheat system, so the more techniques he had, the Duoduo.
How should I give it to you?
"You dictate, and Xiao Ling will write it down."
Son Goku nodded and went to the side to talk to Xiao Ling.
Ling Yi then sat down next to Tang Sanzang and asked, "Are there any other people in Dafeng City who have traveled from the Journey to the Journey to the West World Traversal?"
"Yes, there are quite a few. What do you want to do with them?"
"I'm going to scam someone, do you have a suitable target?"
"A pitfall?" Tang Sanzang asked curiously.
"Yes, you won't die, but I can't guarantee what might Changes after you get scammed."
