I was just fishing, how did I become a Great Old One?

Above the ruins of the Lingxiao Data Center, golden light and the aura of the black abyss confront each other.

Tang Sanzang (Jin Chanzi) stood in front of Jiang Li, his handsome face flushed slightly from drinking "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," but his eyes were colder than ice.

He was facing his master, who was also the most powerful data ruler in the universe at present—Electronic Tathagata.

"Master."

"Are you not answering because... you can't answer?"

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together, and his white monk's robe began to change. Countless lines of code flowed around him, transforming into a [Platinum Hacker Trench Coat].

"Since you won't say, then I will say it."

He turned to face everyone present, as well as all living beings in the entire Neon Sky Realm through Alice's live stream.

"The so-called 'Journey to the West'."

"It's not about saving all living beings at all."

"That was a... [universally-level data fraud]."

……

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Even Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, put down the pottery jar in his hand, and listened with great interest.

The voice of Tang Sanzang spread to every corner of the world through the internet.

"The 'eighty-one tribulations' are actually 81 system compatibility tests."

"The goal is to select the most perfect, obedient, and bug-free [consciousness data package]."

"And the so-called Mahayana Buddhism (true scriptures)..."

Tang Sanzang pointed to the enormous golden Buddha in the sky.

"That was actually a... Trojan horse virus."

"Once you believe in it, once you accept 'data ascent'."

"This virus will be implanted into the deepest part of your consciousness."

"It has only one function—"

"Give us root access."

"We are asking you to voluntarily offer your computing power, memories, and even your souls... to become the [fuel] for the Lingshan mainframe."

"The so-called paradise..."

Tang Sanzang gave a bitter laugh.

"It's just a giant... [data recycle bin]."

……

boom!

These words exploded in everyone's mind like a nuclear bomb.

Those mechanical Arhats who had just been shaken by "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" were now experiencing processor overheating, and their logic circuits were on the verge of collapse.

"Fake...it's all fake?"

"We've cultivated for a thousand years, just to become batteries?"

"This is impossible! Buddha wouldn't lie to us!"

"shut up!"

The electronic Buddha finally broke his silence.

His enormous golden face revealed genuine rage.

It is not a compassionate, wrathful Vajra.

Rather, it is the sinister nature of a schemer whose true colors have been revealed.

"Jin Chanzi!"

"You insect!"

"What do you know?"

The voice of the electronic Buddha was like rolling thunder.

"The ultimate goal of the universe is entropy increase! It's destruction!"

"Only absolute order, only the unification of all consciousness, can counteract heat death!"

"I am saving the world!"

"Since you don't appreciate it..."

The electronic Buddha raised his only remaining left hand.

"Then... let's force format it."

……

"Activate the supernatural power—[Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand - Hyperdimensional Cloud]!"

Rumbling--

The enormous golden left hand suddenly disintegrated in mid-air.

It transformed into countless golden cubes.

These cubes expanded rapidly, covering a space of tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Li, Nezha, the Tree Demon, and even the ruins of the entire Lingxiao Palace.

It was all swallowed up.

Scene transition.

The group discovered that they were no longer in space.

Instead, they arrived at a... [pure white space].

There is no sky, no earth, no direction here.

There is only endless white.

And densely packed golden Sanskrit codes suspended in the air.

[System notification: You have entered the "Buddha's Kingdom in Your Palm" server.]

Current permissions: Visitor (restricted).

[Laws of physics: Rewritten.]

[Prohibited activities: killing, eating, lust, resistance.]

……

"This is……"

Odin tried swinging his fist.

But he found that his fists had become light and airy, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.

"My divine power... has been disabled?"

"My fire won't light either!"

Nezha held the Fire-Tipped Spear, trying desperately to breathe fire, but only an embarrassing wisp of black smoke came out of the spearhead.

This is “rule suppression”.

Alice looked at the flowing code around her.

"Here, the Buddha is the creator god."

"He modified the underlying parameters."

"For example, the 'attack power' parameter is set to 0."

"Then...aren't we just sitting ducks?"

Er Gou was so frightened that he hid behind Jiang Li.

"Boss! Hurry up and cook! Make him some 'Unconventional Braised Pork' and fry him!"

Jiang Li gave it a try.

But they discovered that even the abyss pottery jar couldn't be opened.

"it's useless."

Tang Sanzang sighed.

"In the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, 'appetite' is the virus that is the highest priority to detect and eliminate."

"Here... [Eating is prohibited]."

……

Welcome to my world.

In the sky, the enormous face of the Electronic Buddha appeared.

He looked down at the crowd, who seemed like ants.

"Here, there is no hunger, no pain."

"Only eternal... [silence] (deathly stillness)."

"Now."

"Initiating... [Data Assimilation]"

hum-

The surrounding white space began to shrink.

Countless golden data tentacles emerged from the void and coiled towards the crowd.

Once entangled, consciousness will be instantly transmitted, while the physical body will be disintegrated.

"Damn it! I can't move!"

Nezha struggled desperately, but the tentacles ignored his physical defenses and pierced through his mech.

It looked like everyone was about to be devoured.

Jiang Li suddenly laughed.

He is laughing.

And he was laughing very happily.

"fasting?"

"Aren't you hungry?"

Jiang Li raised his head and looked directly into Tathagata's eyes.

"Tathagata"

"Have you forgotten something?"

"What?" Buddha frowned.

"In this world."

"There is something that can never be 'forbidden'."

"It can never be 'assimilated'."

Jiang Li reached into his own bosom.

There.

There was a... [stubborn rock] that he had never touched.

He bought it for a high price in the underground black market of Kowloon Walled City.

A stone that looks ordinary, even a bit like coal slag.

But Alice discovered at the time that there was something inside the stone...

Sealed within is... [a terrifying compressed file].

……

"You think you've been holding that monkey captive for five hundred years?"

"His memories were erased, his body was shattered."

"He was compressed into a [.zip] file."

"Can we completely eliminate him?"

Jiang Li held the stone in his hand.

The stone began to get hot.

It started vibrating.

A violent, red aura seeped out from between his fingers.

"monkey?!"

When Nezha saw the stone, his eyes widened instantly.

"That's... the Great Sage?!"

"He's still alive?!"

Tang Sanzang's body also began to tremble violently.

"Wukong..."

"So you've always been... here."

……

The electronic Buddha's expression finally changed.

It became extremely ugly.

"That [Five Elements Mountain] hard drive..."

"How did it end up in your hands?!"

"I clearly threw it into the abyss of gibberish!"

"It might be because..."

Jiang Li tossed the stone in his hand.

"Some ragpicker (Xunleizi) probably picked it up."

"Now."

Jiang Li looked at the stubborn rock in his hand.

"I need to... [decompress] now."

……

but.

Decompressing this stone is not easy.

Above it is the seal of the Six-Syllable Mantra, personally set up by the Buddha.

That is, those six famous words:

【Om, Ma, Ni, Ba, Me, Hum.】

This is not just a spell.

This is the Six Paths... [Logic Lock].

"It can't be opened using normal methods."

"You must use... [the corresponding key]."

Jiang Li looked at the six glowing golden characters.

A smile, characteristic of the "God of Cookery," curled at the corners of his mouth.

In my opinion.

There is no lock in this world that cannot be opened.

"if only……"

"You've reached the right point."

"The Six-Syllable Mantra?"

"No."

"That's clearly... [six cooking steps]!"

……

Jiang Li ignored the surrounding rules that suppressed him.

Because he wasn't using spiritual power.

Rather, it is... [concept].

He placed the stubborn rock on the ground.

then.

"System, activate [God-level Decompression Mode]."

The first character: 【唵】 (Om).

"It sounds the same as 'I'."

"My old Sun's 'I'".

"This represents... [the self]."

Jiang Li took out a... [banana] (a specialty of the Pixel World, synthesized from a golden apple) from his backpack.

"What monkeys love to eat."

"Awaken his taste memories!"

Jiang Li placed the banana on the stone.

hum!

The first character, "唵", lit up.

It absorbed the aroma of the banana and instantly disintegrated.

……

The second character: 【嘛】(Ma)

"It sounds like 'hemp'."

"This means... [excitement]."

Jiang Li pulled out a handful of [Thunderstorm Sichuan Pepper].

Sprinkle it on the stones.

"Give him some electrotherapy!"

Shila-

The second word, "ma," exploded in the electric current.

……

The third character: 【呢】(Ni).

"It sounds like 'mud'."

"This represents... the [Origin] (Nuwa's Mending Stone)."

Jiang Li grabbed a handful of [Pixel Soil] (Odin's stockpile).

Slap it onto the stone.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."

"Those who spring from stones must stay grounded!"

The third character, "呢", means to shatter.

……

The fourth character: 【叭】 (Ba).

"It sounds like 'ba' (扒)."

"This means... [peeling off the skin] (distinguishing the true from the false)."

Jiang Li took out his lightsaber and gently slashed at the thick layer of stone skin (firewall) on the surface of the stone.

"Strip me of this skin!"

Click!

The fourth character, "叭", means broken.

……

The fifth character: 【咪】(Me).

"It sounds the same as 'honey'."

"This represents... [temptation]."

Jiang Li took out a jar of [Abyss Honey].

Pour it on the stones.

"I've suffered my whole life."

"Have something sweet."

The fifth character, "咪," means to melt.

……

The sixth syllable: 【吽】 (Hum).

"It sounds like 'boom'."

"This means..."

Jiang Li took a step back.

A crazy smile appeared on his face.

"This represents... an explosion!"

"Nezha! Can I borrow your fire?"

"Light it!"

"good!"

Although Nezha was suppressed, he saw hope and desperately squeezed out a wisp of Samadhi True Fire.

They lit the honey, peppercorns, and bananas on the stone.

boom----!!!

The last character is "吽".

In a deafening explosion.

[Complete collapse].

……

The seal... has been broken.

With the shattering of the six-syllable mantra.

The entire white "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand" space suddenly... cracked open.

A red crack, filled with violence and arrogance, appeared in the sky.

Followed by.

The stubborn rock exploded.

No monkeys jumped out.

It jumped out.

It is a... [golden needle].

The needle grew longer in the air as it faced the wind.

It instantly becomes bigger, thicker, and longer.

It transformed into something... towering and earth-shattering...

【Ruyi Jingu Bang·Cyber ​​Edition】

This rod is made entirely of dark matter black gold, with golden plasma halos at both ends.

On the stick, a line of wildly cursive code flashing red light was engraved:

【The Monkey King, Sun Wukong】

Status: Decompression complete.

[Rage value: ∞ (infinity).]

……

"roar----!!!!"

A roar.

It shattered all the surrounding golden data tentacles.

A figure emerged from the light of the golden cudgel.

He is not a monkey with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth.

He is a... [mechanical war god] [wearing chainmail golden armor and a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown].

His body is made of the most sophisticated liquid metal, and he can change shape at will.

Behind him were four holographic banners with the four large characters "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" written on them.

And his eyes.

They are two... [golden nuclear fusion flames that never go out].

【Sharp Eyes - Ultimate Edition】

……

"You old Buddha!"

"I, Old Sun..."

"They're out!!!!"

Sun Wukong holds the golden cudgel.

That instant.

The rules of the entire Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand were completely overwhelmed by his domineering aura... [forcefully burst open].

"Snap! Snap!"

The white space is shattered like a mirror.

The laws of physics are returning.

Gravity restoration.

The fire on Nezha's body reignited.

Odin's power has returned.

The earthenware jar in Jiang Li's hand boiled again.

……

"You mischievous monkey!"

When the electronic Buddha saw this scene, for the first time, fear appeared on its enormous face.

It was genuine fear.

Because of this monkey.

It is the only thing he cannot calculate, assimilate, or completely erase...

[Logical Singularity].

"Five Finger Mountain! Press down again!"

The Buddha wanted to repeat his old trick.

"Screw you!"

Sun Wukong roared.

The golden cudgel in his hand instantly grew ten thousand times larger.

"Super super ...

"Give me, Old Sun... [the opportunity to pierce through this barrier]!"

boom!

The enormous golden cudgel carried world-destroying kinetic energy.

It stabbed directly at the giant face of the electronic Buddha in the sky.

There's nothing fancy about it.

It's pure... [power].

It's pure... [anger].

"Bang!!!!"

A loud bang.

The Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand... [shattered].

The group returned to the ruins of the Lingxiao Data Center.

And above their heads.

That arrogant electronic Buddha.

His face... was hit... [turned crooked].

Half of the gold body was dented, revealing the circuit board inside.

……

"call……"

Sun Wukong retrieved his golden cudgel.

Carry it on your shoulder.

He turned his head.

Those eyes, burning with fire, swept over everyone present.

At last.

It landed on Jiang Li.

And... the [stone fragment] in Jiang Li's hand... still bearing the remnants of a banana peel.

"Hey, cook over there."

Sun Wukong grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp alloy fangs.

"That 'decompression' method from earlier..."

"That's interesting."

"but……"

He touched his stomach (which emitted a metallic rumble).

"I, Old Sun, have been imprisoned for five hundred years."

"My mouth is so bland it's practically tasteless."

"Now that you've released me..."

"Should we...?"

"Is a full meal provided?"

……

Jiang Li looked at the legendary Monkey King.

Feel the wild aura that could overturn the entire universe.

He smiled.

She smiled radiantly.

"You'll be full."

"You must be well-fed."

Jiang Li pointed to the electronic Buddha in the sky whose face had been slapped askew.

He then pointed to the Lingshan fleet that was trembling with fear.

"Look."

"Isn't that all... [ingredients]?"

"Perfect."

"I'm missing one dish here... [Braised Lion's Head] (Buddha's head)."

"And... [Teppanyaki] (Pyramid Battleship)."

"Great Sage".

"Are you interested...?"

"Shall we have a... [all-Buddhist banquet]?"

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.

Brighter than the stars.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"good!"

"What a magnificent Buddhist banquet!"

"I, Old Sun..."

"I'll go... [serve the food] right away!"
