After hearing Guanyin's plan, Ling Yi's killing intent surged.
"What a Buddha Tathagata! What a Spirit Mountain you are! You Buddhist School all talk about Karmic Force Merit, Karma and effect, but aren't you afraid of creating negative karma with these actions?"
Guanyin scoffed, "Nothing in the world is perfect. Karma, good and evil, only apply to the Heavenly Dao of Heaven. What benefits the Way of Heavenly Dao is good, and what harms the Heavenly Dao is evil!"
" Karmic Force and Merit only affect past lives. Good deeds have a beginning, but evil deeds have no root. Good deeds don't have immediate retribution, and evil deeds don't have immediate consequences. What use is this Karma then?"
Ling Yi frowned. Is this how good and evil, Karma, are explained? If the world knew about these remarks... well, it doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?
Modern people no longer believe in the Karma of good and evil or cause and effect; they only believe in this life and don't care about the Afterlife.
"In truth, this world needs Buddhism. People have too much hostility in their hearts, and Buddhism can indeed help them wash away that hostility."
Ling Yi did not refute this statement, not because Guanyin was right, but because Ling Yi did not understand Buddhism.
"I will gather the pilgrims together and have them retrace the journey to the Journey to the West, but the eighty-one tribulations will need to be arranged by you and Tathagata."
"There is no point in rashly traveling to the Journey to the West; people need to know and recognize the Buddha!"
Ling Yi sneered, "Heh, that's Buddha's Tathagata. Go back and tell him that the Journey to the Journey to the West will be broadcast live the entire way. Every hardship on Journey to the West journey is a process for people to come to know and understand the Buddha."
Guanyin said "recognize the Buddha," while Ling Yi said "clearly understand the Buddha." The difference of one word is worlds apart, and the meanings are completely different.
Guanyin understood Ling Yi's meaning, but she didn't say anything more. She knew that Ling Yi didn't recognize Buddhism, and Ling Yi was extremely wary of Guanyin.
"Amitabha, since that's the case, then everything depends on Benefactor Ling," Guanyin, taking a deep breath.
"Tell Tathagata to abandon that so-called Heavenly Punishment Plan, or I won't mind turning True Spirit Mountain into a fake Spirit Mountain."
What does this mean?
It means exactly what it says!
After a moment of Guanyin, Guanyin clasped her hands together, bowed to Ling Yi, and then transformed into a streak of light, returning to her room.
After Guanyin left, Ling Yi suddenly said, " Xiao Ling, let's start the Journey to the West Plan!"
"Yes!"
In Ling Yi's home, a flash of blue light appeared, and two sets of equipment that Son Goku and Tang Sanzang were extremely familiar with appeared before them.
It was the gilded battle robe of the Tang Sanzang Son Goku the Brocade Kasaya, purple-gold alms bowl, and gilded staff of Tang Sanzang.
Of course, this wasn't the original version; it was a battle robe specially made for them by Ling Yi.
" Son Goku, Tang Sanzang, Ling Yi are about to restart the Journey to the Journey to the West..."
Xiao Ling calmly explained Ling Yi's plan to the two of them.
After returning to her room, Guanyin immediately made a phone call and informed Tathagata of Ling Yi's intention to restart the Journey to the Journey to the West, as well as Ling Yi's exact words.
In the Mata'er Country, at the Little Thunderclap Temple, Tathagata hanging up his phone, Tathagata fell into deep thought.
One of the main objectives of the Heavenly Punishment Plan is to restart the Journey to the West.
If someone could help him restart the Journey to the West, that would be wonderful.
But another purpose of the Heavenly Punishment Plan is to create chaos in the world. Only in chaos and despair can people develop faith.
But Tathagata also knew that if he really did that, he would become the target of everyone in this world.
Once this gets out, a barrage of missiles will probably rain down on the area above his Little Thunderclap Temple in an instant.
Nowadays, collecting Power of Faith is extremely difficult, mainly because Power of Faith is impure and requires a long time to be refined before it can be transformed into Magic Power.
"Could this Ling Yi be the person behind it all?" Tathagata frowned.
Their inexplicable journey from the World Traversal to the Journey to the West to this world must have been orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.
At first Tathagata suspected that it was the work of those Sage, but now it seems that even Sage could not have done it.
As Ling Yi said, the two worlds are not related at all. The only connection is that this world has the book " Journey to the West ", as well as the various versions of Journey to the Journey to the West movies, TV series and novels derived from it.
The TV series is fine, but any movies and novels related to Journey to the West are extremely unfriendly to Buddhist School, and can even be described as belittling it in various ways.
Although most of what they said was true!
"Eighty-one tribulations? Very well, if that's the case, then let's see whose methods Gao Ming."
Tathagata picked up his phone and sent a message to Guanyin with only one word. "Approved!"
Looking at the phone in his hand, Tathagata couldn't help Tathagata sigh. The technology of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality is truly useful. Without expending any Magic Power, they can communicate with each other across thousands of miles.
Upon opening the Spirit Mountain group chat, Tathagata began arranging matters related to the eighty-one tribulations.
The most important question now is how to recreate the lie of " Tang Sanzang ".
The journey to the West is fraught with eighty-one tribulations; we can't possibly have all the people of Spirit Mountain act out the scenes, can we? We should drag all the demons, monsters, and immortals who have transmigrated to this world into the fray, so that the tribulations on the journey to the Journey to the West will naturally follow.
But after much discussion, they still couldn't come up with anything that could appeal to everyone.
There's nothing they can do; they're just people who traveled through time, nothing more.
Apart from a very few who brought their natal magic treasures, the others didn't even have a single Dharma Artifact.
We don't have anything worth showing off!
Just then, a message notification appeared on Tathagata's phone, marked as an "unknown number".
" Tang Sanzang possesses a priceless treasure that allows him to return to the Journey to the West. Seize it, and you will be able to travel freely between the two worlds!"
"Amitabha! Is this news true or false?" The Buddha 'Tathagata obese body stood up excitedly, his eyes filled with horror as he spoke.
He then realized that this was exactly what " Tang Sanzang " meant for him.
He immediately sent a message to Guanyin, asking, "Was this message sent by Ling Yi? Is it true or false?"
Guanyin replied with only one word, "True!"
Meanwhile, in a villa in Dafeng City, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in white was also looking at a text message in his hand.
He is Zhang Bairen, an internet celebrity with millions of followers.
Many people may not be familiar with this name, but if you mention the Jade Emperor, they will probably all know who he is.
"Can we freely travel between the two worlds?" Zhang Bairen murmured.
He estimated that this was Tathagata of fake news spread by that Buddha.
But what if?
This world is terrible. The Jade Emperor, a dignified ruler, has to become an internet celebrity, singing, dancing, and making jokes for those ants in order to earn Power of Faith to maintain his pitiful Magic Power power.
I, Zhang Bairen, want to go home. I don't want to stay in this world for even a second longer.
He immediately sent a message to the " Heavenly Court Group": "Find Tang Sanzang for me, by any means necessary, bring him here alive!"
Not only the Jade Emperor, but almost 80% of the people who traveled back from the Journey to the Journey to the West World received this message.
White Bone and the others, who were recording a variety show with Ling Yi and the others, were no exception.
"Boss, is this for real? Can we really go back?" Yang Xiaomi asked expectantly.
"Whether it's true or false, we must capture Tang Sanzang." The White Bone Demon remained calm.
Everyone knows that there's an 80% chance this message is fake, but even if it is, they won't let it go.
There was nothing they could do; they shared the same thought as the Jade Emperor: this world was simply too terrible for them, and they all wanted to go home.
Putting everything else aside, without Magic Power, they are just A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and they will die after a hundred years.
Even with Magic Power, if one's strength doesn't reach a certain level, it's difficult to live for long.
The White Bone and Tathagata are among the strongest transmigrators from Journey to the Journey to the West. With their current strength, they can only live for a maximum of two hundred years.
If they cannot advance to the First Tier two hundred years from now, they will all die.
This is also the main reason why they frantically seek to gain faith and increase their fame.
Do they want to be stars? Do they want to be internet celebrities? Do they want to perform for ordinary people? In their eyes, these A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality are nothing more than ants.
But they have to work hard every day to maintain their public persona, wearing masks for these ants, putting on fake smiles, singing love songs, and constantly keeping watch!
At this moment, all those Journey to the West felt an overwhelming urge to return home.
Seven days later, the variety show finally ended. When they returned to the Zero One Building, Son Goku, Tang Sanzang, Tianpeng wearing the Gu Yue Tianpeng, and a dejected Sha Seng had already gathered together.
"Haven't you found the White Dragon Horse yet? We're only missing a Little White Dragon," Tang Sanzang asked.
"So it was you?" Tianpeng looked at Ling Yi as he entered and said in disbelief.
He had just finished filming a program when he was captured by Son Goku, and then somehow ended up here.
Tianpeng had considered resisting, but at this moment, Son Goku, dressed in advanced technology, treated him like a child.
They had absolutely no chance to fight back.
"We haven't found the Little White Dragon, not a single trace!" Ling Yi shook his head.
"Make preparations. The Journey to the West will resume in half a month."
"Where is the finish line?" Tianpeng asked.
" The Mata'er Country, the Little Thunderclap Temple!"
What about the process?
"You're free to arrange things as you see fit!"
"Why should we listen to you?" Tianpeng asked, displeased.
With a casual wave of his hand, Ling Yi sent Tianpeng to a cold planet in a Quantum Universe.
"This fool has too many ideas in his mind; he deserves to suffer," Son Goku said, shaking his head.
"How did Sha Wujing end up looking like this?"
Tang Sanzang looked at the dejected Sha Seng and asked with a look of disdain.
"Without Obsession, things naturally turn out this way."
Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, " Obsession are endless. As long as you live, you will have Obsession, and Obsession will arise. Wujing's current state is mostly an act."
Sha Wujing rolled his eyes at his the Final Master, speechless, and said, "I want to go home!"
Compared to the White Bone Demon and the others, Sha Wujing did not gain any Power of Faith after transmigrating.
His Magic Power had long been exhausted. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be buried in a box like an ordinary person a few decades later.
It's normal to want to go home, so Tang Sanzang and the others didn't pay much attention to it.
But Sha Wujing's next words startled them all.
"This world is an illusion, everything is an illusion; this is Buddha's test for us."
Son Goku and Tang Sanzang both began to think about it seriously.
But Ling Yi simply rolled his eyes. Didn't he know whether it was fake or not?
Without the Quantum Universe, Ling Yi Ling Yi might still have doubts, but now that he has the freedom to enter and exit the lower three layers of the Quantum Universe, it means that this world cannot be fake.
However, Ling Yi did not refute Sha Wujing's words, but simply said, "Whether it's true or false, the Journey to the Journey to the West must be restarted."
"Don't wander around during this time. Xiao Ling will help you adapt to the equipment and the new Combat Mode."
Ling Yi prepared a set of advanced technological equipment for each of these people.
" The Combat methods of these technologically advanced devices are tailored as closely as possible to your habits. The bait has been laid; the journey to the Journey to the West is bound to be incredibly exciting."
Ling Yi glanced at Tang Sanzang and said.
Tang Sanzang shrugged; he was still the same " Tang Sanzang."
"Hehe, my Old Sun's Golden-Hooped Rod is almost rusty!" Son Goku said excitedly, waving his Golden-Hooped Rod.
" Goku, you shouldn't use that staff anymore, otherwise you'll be exhausted after only a few hits. Use the knock-off Golden-Hooped Rod that Ling Yi prepared for you instead; its power is far greater than that staff!"
