Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 347 Schrödinger's Arrival

It was like a war and a nuclear war on the home planet.

Beaker once told Tang Xuanci that if a war involves a battle of faith, it is very different from the logic of ordinary wars.

Therefore, Tang Xuanci had already persuaded Yinyin to compile a list of all 22 immortals and gods who were suspected of having the ability to activate faith.

Based on big data and intelligence from Leiyin Temple, Beaker estimated their combat power when they fully mobilized the power of heaven and earth, using the formula of "their own combat power" × "faith bonus".

Why is there a prerequisite of "fully mobilizing the power of heaven and earth"?

This is because the power of faith is the collective karma of believers that interferes with the physical world, delivering a dimensional reduction attack.

While the self-nature is instantaneous throughout the entire universe, its interference with the physical world still follows the inverse square law and the law of conservation of mass-energy (not the narrow mass conservation law in chemistry).

Make bricks without straw.

Suppose that Buddha is in a region of absolute vacuum and has no army around him, then to condense a Five Finger Mountain, besides using his own Buddha body and magical power to transform it, he would have to consume infinitely large amounts of faith power to transfer mass energy to a more distant space.

The addition of the premise of "fully mobilizing the power of heaven and earth" is intended to enhance its guiding significance in actual combat.

Using the monkey, which underwent extensive combat two and a half years ago, as a benchmark, the combat strength assessment of the 22 immortals and gods is summarized below. The ranking is from lowest to highest.

Monkey King: 2000 million × 1 = 2000 million

Kunlun Ruins Yellow Heavenly Saint Venerable (Descendant of Yellow Horn): 500W × 10 = 5000 million

Erlang Shen, the Manifestation Saint: 2100 million × 3 = 6300 million

Emperor Gouchen: 550 million × 14 = 7700 million

The Immortal Emperor: 520 million × 15 = 7800 million

Qinghua Emperor: 600W × 13.5 = 8100 million

Beihai Demon Emperor: 780W×10.5=8190 million

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: 760W × 11 = 8360 million

Ziwei Emperor: 700W × 12 = 8400

Dipankara Buddha: 650W × 13 = 8450 million

Maitreya Buddha: 660W × 13.5 = 8910 million

Black Continent Supreme God: 790W × 11.5 = 9085 million

Queen Mother of the West: 600W × 16 = 9600 million

Emperor Fengdu: 1500 million x 9 = 1.35 million

Nine Heavens Thunder God: 1600W × 9.5 = 1.52 million

Eastern Chongen Holy Emperor: 1300 million × 15 = 1.95 million

Northern True Martial Emperor: 2500 million × 12 = 3 million

Jade Emperor: 750W × 43 = 3.23 million

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun: 2300 million × 16 = 3.68 million

Jade Pure Primordial Celestial Venerable: 2400W × 18 = 4.32 million

South China Sea Guanyin (Avalokitesvara) in the South Pole: 2900W × 15 = 4.35 million

Laozi (Taishang Laojun): 2400W × 41 = 9.84 million

Buddha: 2300W × 61 = 14.03 billion

This simplified combat capability assessment report contains a wealth of information.

To be honest, when Tang Xuanci first saw it, he only doubted whether the beaker calculation was wrong because it contained something shocking and counterintuitive.
For example, the Buddha's exaggerated fighting power of 14 billion.

For example, Yin Yin's true combat power is unparalleled in the three realms when she doesn't use any cheats.

Beaker explained that with the current level of big data and the computing power that can accurately predict the trajectory of celestial bodies within a range of billions of light-years, the accuracy of the estimation of "faith power blessing" is very high.

As for the actual combat strength without cheating, it comes from intelligence and reverse calculations, which may contain significant errors.

Of the 22 deities, the last three were the most accurate.

This is because two and a half years ago, Buddha, Guanyin, and Laozi truly engaged in actual combat.

They are all ancient monsters who have cultivated for countless years. In just two and a half years, it is unlikely that their actual cultivation level would increase significantly like that of monkeys. As long as the current data of believers is adjusted, the current value can be calculated.

This briefing makes it clear that:
Even the worst person among the 22 can completely defeat the monkey once they use the power of faith.

The gap between them and ordinary gods and immortals is something that cannot be bridged by gathering a large army.

If they encountered powerful beings like Zhenwu or Guanyin with combat strength exceeding 100 million, even 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals would likely be unable to withstand a massacre without the aid of large spiritual veins of T2 level or higher.

For this reason, the Heavenly Court also has a secret "location covenant," which states that gods and immortals with the power of faith must keep their locations public.

Its importance is no less than that of the nuclear weapons limitation treaty on Tang Xuanci's home planet after World War II.

But now, Tathagata, Maitreya, Dipankara, and Ksitigarbha are clearly no longer required to abide by it. Tathagata possesses a terrifying fighting power of 14.03 billion; aside from Laozi, anyone else captured by him alone would likely meet a fate with only one word:

dead!
Under these circumstances, although the Heavenly Alliance numbered in the millions, its offensive options were extremely limited.

The only option is to first use the Three Pure Ones as the leaders to lure out the Buddha on the main battlefield, and then rely on other armies to annihilate the enemy from the flanks and rear, advancing step by step, capturing the monks before capturing the Buddha.

Otherwise, if they didn't know where the Buddha was, the other armies would never dare to go, let alone concentrate their forces to attack.

When Tang Xuanci set off, he completely dispersed the Western Sea and Southern Sea fleets, and the warships or aircraft carriers he and the monkey were on were also top secret.

If Buddha doesn't appear, they will at most bombard the Black Continent pyramids from a distance, acting as cheerleaders for the main force.

……

It is said that the million divine soldiers of the Heavenly Court, with their overwhelming momentum, quickly formed an encirclement around the Buddha's territory from all sides.

But at that moment, Buddha made a move that, while reasonable, still took the immortals by surprise.

He actually pulled off a feint, abandoning the Changsheng and Yandao Continents that he had painstakingly conquered two and a half years ago, and only deployed a fake army there, while in reality he had already greatly reduced his defenses.

He personally led over 20,000 of the most elite Buddhist followers, abandoning their hometown, crossing the East China Sea to join forces with Maitreya Buddha on the southwestern coast of Jambudvipa, and together with the remnants of the Yellow Horned Rebellion, launched a lightning-fast attack on the Yunnan region.

The South China Sea army, which was originally on its way to attack the Maitreya sect, was terrified by this sight and dared not advance.

Even the Emperor of Longevity, who was personally overseeing the Jambudvipa, was forced to retreat repeatedly upon seeing the Buddha's overwhelming power.

In an instant, Tathagata attacked the heart of southern Yunnan. If he could break through Taiping Mountain Pass to the north, he could rush into the Tang Dynasty and march on Chang'an.
By breaking through the Hengduan Mountains to the west, one can reach Kunlun Ruins or the Great Snow Mountain—the highest mountain in the Three Realms.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Palace is high above, and its spiritual energy converges through four major mountain ranges below. These are: Kunlun Ruins, Great Snow Mountain, Tianshan Mountain, and Changbai Mountain, the highest mountain on the eastern edge of Zhanbu Continent.

Kunlun Ruins and Daxue Mountain are two of them, and also the most important cornerstones.

This move by the Buddha is equivalent to ignoring the green rooks, knights, and cannons around one's own king in a game of chess and directly crossing the river to checkmate the opponent's king.

Although the Heavenly Court had some precautions, the Buddha's power was too great, and they could not afford the risk. They had no choice but to quickly order the Qinghua Emperor and Li Jing's 150,000-strong demon-subduing army to turn around and come to protect the Tang Dynasty.

The Jade Emperor led a group of celestial officials directly to the South Heavenly Gate to eliminate the influence of the flow of time.

Emperors Ziwei and Gouchen personally led their troops down to the mortal realm to provide reinforcements.

But... that's not enough.

Since the Buddha's true fighting power was revealed two and a half years ago, everyone knows that the Four Emperors standing in front of the Buddha are like four greenhorn recruits.

The Buddha's actions clearly carried a strong threatening connotation. Imagine if he really lost his homeland and his power was gone, he would definitely take advantage of the fact that his faith was still at its peak to launch the most ruthless revenge.

Even if the four emperors lead a large army to defend the area, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor immediately sent a telegram to the Three Pure Ones, requesting that Laozi also lead his men to Jambudvipa to provide support, first eliminate the enemy forces here, and then return to reclaim the Eastern Continent.

But Laozi was more than happy that Buddha was gone, so he took the opportunity to wipe out the Buddhist sect's stronghold and completely destroy its foundation.

As for if Buddha were to go mad and directly destroy the Tang Dynasty or shake the foundation of the Heavenly Court, crushing the Heavenly Army and perishing together with the Four Emperors, that would be... incredibly cool!

Therefore, he secretly reached an agreement with two other Taoist elders, both of whom ignored the Heavenly Court's decree and seized the opportunity to quickly recover the two continents of Changsheng.

But then they discovered that not only had Tathagata secretly moved away a large number of humans and demons from the two continents, but he had also completely destroyed the spiritual veins on the border between these two continents and Liuzhou and Jukuzhou, forcibly creating a huge spiritual "isolation zone".

This isolation zone is devoid of life, with a wide-open view, and is filled with the "stone energy" that once permeated the Five Elements Mountain. If ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals were to absorb it, their meridians would become stagnant at best, and at worst, their entire bodies would turn into petrified stone.

It turns out that Buddha had already begun preparing for today's situation two and a half years ago.

At that very moment, Tathagata once again employed tactical concealment, disappearing without a trace.

The Three Pure Ones were startled and uncertain, and suspended their offensive.

Because Buddhism relies on spiritual veins and has the presence of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the Supreme Black God, it is not easy to launch a direct attack.

If the Taoist army wants to continue its attack on Liuzhou and Jukuzhou, it must remain exposed in that isolation zone.

Imagine if Buddha had secretly returned right here; the consequences for that Taoist army would be unpredictable.

Therefore, Laozi immediately sent a telegram to the Jade Emperor, asking the Four Emperors stationed in the Southern Continent to concentrate their forces there and launch a fierce attack on the Buddhist and Yellow Emperor allied forces occupying the mountains of southern Yunnan, so as to confirm whether Tathagata was there.

Upon hearing the news, the Jade Emperor was naturally filled with a thousand curses.

After hearing this, the four emperors probably went so far as to inquire about the family of the Supreme Elder Lamp.

They weren't even sure they could hold the position given their geographical advantage, so is it really a good idea to send them on a fierce attack now?
To be honest, even if the Buddhist-Huang alliance opened its gates wide and closed all restrictions, and only sent a nun to sit in the mountains playing the piano, the Four Emperors would not dare to lead the charge.

What if that piano was transformed from the Buddha?
The South China Sea Army and the Independent Army are even less likely to launch a preemptive strike.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanci immediately began cursing and ordered all aircraft carriers and warships to stop in the middle of the sea, not daring to show their faces.

Good heavens, this is the real Buddha!

Like Schrödinger's cat, you can't be sure whether Buddha has come or not unless you fight him.

He might still be in the Southern Continent, or he might be in the Eastern Continent, or he might even be outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
