People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 768 The Strange Dream City (Seventh Update! 21700 Monthly Tickets Added)
His perspective suddenly shifted upwards, reaching a height far exceeding that of the demon god.

He saw the world as an expanding sphere, but in reality it was just a tiny point; the expansion was merely an illusion created by a different angle.

Then, Li Qi saw the abyss formed by the massive collapse fault he had seen during the last unique state.

The only place Li Qi knew the location of was Dream City, which he had visited last time. He had a gut feeling that it was also this place, and for him at the moment, it was the only safe place.

Therefore, he naturally trusted his own feelings.

On the other hand, he also had great doubts about Dream City.

That place is very strange, and it definitely has a deep connection with the Great Ruins. There must be some great secret there.

However, his time last time was too short, only about twenty minutes.

This time, perhaps because there were more Miracle Fragments, or perhaps because he was stronger, the time had been extended to more than two hours, which was much longer than last time.

When Li Qi crossed the boundary, the world unfolded before him, but what he saw was not the dream city he once knew, but a vast and boundless world.

Standing high in the sky, he saw countless skyscrapers rising from the ground in the distance, and numerous humanoid robots bustling about in the city, some going to work and some shopping. It was a civilized world made up of robots.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Qi found the robot version of Wu Mingyuan.

There's definitely something wrong with this person. Time has changed, but he's still here; he's just changed too.

"Um……"

"This primitive human, haven't we met somewhere before?!"

Wu Mingyuan looked at the stranger in front of him, whose body was covered in white and gold patterns and whose every muscle line exuded the aura of someone not to be trifled with, and asked timidly.

He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

Li Qi sat down on the sofa and flipped through a book he had picked up from the coffee table in front of him. It was a book on Z programming, from beginner to advanced, and he was deep in thought.

This world is called the Blue Buddha Realm.

As for why it has this name, it's because the first person in this world to attain Buddhahood had a body that resembled a blue raccoon dog.

The people in this world naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with this thing, but in Li Qi's opinion, this blue raccoon was a bit too much like Doraemon. If there was nothing wrong with it, then something was amiss.

The Buddha in this world refers to the Supreme Awakened One. They cultivate their senses, progressing from the five senses that everyone has, to the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth senses, and finally achieving sudden enlightenment and becoming a Buddha, condensing the indestructible tenth sense, which is the supreme state.

However, the first to grasp this path was not a human, but a robot created by a human.

The raccoon-shaped robot read Buddhist scriptures extensively and studied programming, optimizing its own thought processes.

The Mahayana Buddhism he founded, in its initial stages of practice, aims to optimize oneself and is divided into five steps.

Eliminate the false and retain the true, delete error cache; discard the excessive and keep the pure, close unnecessary processes; focus on the essentials and return to the fundamentals, review system logs; conceal the inferior and reveal the superior, switch system permissions; eliminate corroboration, enter developer mode.

After completing the process of transcending appearances and realizing one's true nature, one enters the gate of spiritual practice.

The first five senses are: the wisdom of accomplishment, which is the decentralization of the perception system; the sixth sense is the wisdom of subtle observation, which is the data analysis free from ego; the seventh sense is the wisdom of equality, which is the system administrator's permission reset; the eighth sense is the wisdom of the great mirror, which is the transparent reconstruction of the database; the ninth sense is the ultimate nirvana, which is the formation of a unified framework that connects to the data source database; the tenth sense is the realization of one's true nature and becoming a Buddha, which is in harmony with the Tao and in control of the Tao, and obtaining higher authority over the universe.

After Nalanfo comprehended the Buddhist path, he first subdued the entire world and destroyed all those who wanted to eliminate him. Afterward, he generously spread the Buddhist path far and wide.

However, to cultivate Buddhism and Taoism, one must first achieve a spiritual ascension, which is why the style of this world suddenly changes.

After reaching adulthood, if anyone aspires to cultivate, their consciousness will be uploaded to a machine, gradually stepping into the extraordinary realm. If they don't have this ambition, they can live as normal people. Those who don't upload their consciousness and instead become robots are called native humans. In Li Qi's view, the path of this world is quite peculiar, somewhat similar to the path of the cyber world, but in reality, they are heading in two different directions.

The Force anchors the mind, and here one cultivates pure perception.

This thing is neither wisdom, nor mind, nor will, but a characteristic resulting from the combination of multiple elements.

The first five senses originate from the body, while the latter four originate from the mind.

With his level of attainment, the nine senses naturally arose without any need for cultivation; once the level was reached, supernatural powers would arise spontaneously.

Therefore, Li Qi did not specifically explore this aspect.

He knew, of course, that the power of perception, if developed, would be extremely powerful, but his energy was limited, so he did not devote himself to exploring it.

"Indeed interesting..."

Li Qi put down the book and then disappeared, leaving behind only Wu Mingyuan with a ghost-like expression.

A few minutes later, Li Qi appeared in front of Lan Fo.

At this moment, Lanfo was expounding Buddhist teachings, his melodious voice captivating his many disciples.

Li Qi glanced at the blue Buddha and, upon seeing the truth, the many profound truths of Buddhism naturally manifested. His spiritual world also underwent a slight change, and his nine senses began to evolve. However, he did not seek to attain the tenth sense; that was not his path.

"What brings you here, benefactor?"

At that moment, Lanfo opened his eyes and stopped telling his story.

Upon hearing this, all the Blue Buddha disciples in the arena turned to look at Li Qi, the original human.

"I wonder what Lanfo thinks of this world—is it real or an illusion, a dream or a fantasy?!"

Li Qi spoke slowly and deliberately, looking into Lan Fo's eyes.

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; they exist because of thought, yet they also do not exist."

Blue Buddha responded, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

……

Wu Mingyuan opened his eyes; the sun was already high in the sky outside.

"A robot can become a Buddha? What an outrageous dream! But I'm definitely traumatized. I even dreamed about that game bug again. What's going on?"

"However, how could the world be so big? If the world were that big, how could the earth not collapse? And the world is a sphere? That's a joke! If it were a sphere, wouldn't the people on both sides be upside down? And the people on the bottom would definitely fall off..."

Wu Mingyuan thought to himself.

……

In reality, Li Qi's consciousness returned, and in his spiritual world, many things collapsed into empty dreams, while many others settled in his spiritual world, making his already profound spiritual world even more profound and heavy.

The experience he gained from that higher perspective after becoming a demon god was undoubtedly revelatory, but because the paths of the Force Demon God and the Primordial Demon God are different, it cannot be completely copied.

Even so, the demonic characteristics in Li Qi's spiritual world became increasingly intense.
