The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1007 Gods and Buddhas Everywhere (Part 11)

In an instant, it wasn't just Director Ren who gasped.

The same applies to Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu.

At the same time, the blurry Buddha figures deep in the mist became clearer, emanating divine will, though still faint and indistinct.

Golden Buddha palms pressed down, emerging from the mist like countless swaying willow branches, trying to grab Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu.

But thanks to Qiao Yu's invisibility talisman and Liu Sheng's spatial teleportation, the two of them were practically elusive on the internet.

It was impossible to grasp it for a moment.

All they could do was rummage aimlessly through the fog with their bare hands.

At the same time, Director Ren in reality suddenly became alert.

He looked around the room, but still couldn't see anything. He even crammed his head into every corner and peered through every crack, but still found nothing.

But he knew that what Wanfo Temple said must be true.

This suggests that the other person truly exists in another reality that he cannot see.

He panicked and quickly summoned a group of guards to seal off the entire office. He also ordered everyone to conduct a full-scale search of the Special Bureau campus, leaving no stone unturned.

He then quickly left under the protection of a group of guards.

Little did he know, two unseen little tails were quietly trailing behind him.

……

Deep within the StarNet, Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu continued to navigate the mist formed by the data debris.

The situation is currently at a stalemate.

Wanfo Temple dispatched a group of virtual gods and Buddhas, forming a vast net in hopes of driving the two insects out of the port.

Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu would never leave easily.

Moreover, they gradually found a way in.

Before us, a temple with red walls and golden tiles sits in the mist, surrounded by ancient trees and wafting incense smoke. There are solemn halls and rows of meditation rooms.

This is where the Wanfo Temple server is located.

Originally, "the world" was unable to locate this place amidst the chaotic data fog, because only Director Ren could use the Star Network. So once he withdrew, the information flow was cut off. Coupled with the disturbances from those gods and Buddhas, they were unable to find a path.

But now, a large number of new users are flooding into this fog, pixel-style altars are springing up, and scattered figures are appearing to complete the whole process of offering incense, making offerings, and praying in front of the altars.

Ultimately, a large amount of information flows to one place.

The "world" was finally successfully positioned.

At the entrance of Wanfo Temple, scattered wishes drifted in, lining up to wait to enter the main hall.

They were all dialog boxes of different colors, each displaying the following:

[Hoping for a successful promotion.]

[Hopefully the reconstruction plan will be successful.]

May my daughter survive the birthing factory.

May I attain the root of wisdom and become a deity or Buddha.

[Immortality.]

Please help me.

……

One wish after another entered the main hall, but in the end, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had sunk into the sea.

"Should we sneak in and take a look?" Liu Sheng pondered.

"But don't we seem too out of place?"

Qiao Yu felt that she looked different from those people in the chat boxes, so she wasn't very confident about blending in.

Liu Sheng greeted the world.

"Change us to the shape of a dialog box."

【Can. 】

Although "World" is assisting Xiaoshu and Wang Qingguang as saviors, multi-threaded resource allocation is effortless, and it immediately allocated 30.78% of its computing power to them.

The next moment, Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu's figures blurred and turned into two jumping golden speech bubbles.

One sign read "I want to go to heaven," and the other read "I want to get promoted," perfectly hidden in the group.

After queuing for a while, it was finally their turn to enter the main hall.

But to my surprise, there was no one inside.

"I thought there would be an old man with a white beard and a red hat sitting inside, holding each wish on his lap and listening carefully," Liu Sheng murmured to himself.

Qiao Yu: "?"

"World": [...not within this cultural context.]

The main hall is filled with rows of metal rails and operating robotic arms that pick up wishes one by one and stuff them into the stacked bookshelves.

Clearly, these "bookshelves" piled up in the main hall are a manifestation of the wish database, specifically used to store wishes.

Liu Sheng was also roughly picked up by a mechanical hand and casually thrown into a compartment on the upper level, while Qiao Yu was stuffed into a spot next to it.

Upon closer inspection, the mechanical arm was covered with countless eyes, as if it were watching them intently, not allowing any unusual movement.

They didn't want to be discovered, so they remained obedient.

Once the robotic arm was removed, Liu Sheng gently swayed and "slid" down from the wishing shelf.

Qiao Yu followed closely behind.

It inevitably makes a slight sound, or perhaps it's just a ripple caused by data fluctuations.

The nearby robotic arms seemed to sense something and were about to converge when they were drawn to a small paper figure carrying an exploding talisman as it floated by.

boom!
The wishing stand and the robotic arm at the entrance were both affected by the explosion.

Then more small paper figures floated down.

They set fires everywhere.

How could such an important place as the database catch fire?

These robotic arms immediately sprang into action, initiating emergency firefighting efforts.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Sheng pulled Qiao Yu into the chat window and floated deeper together.

There are quite a few wishes collected here.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, it's not just for Wanfo Temple, but also for all sorts of other gods like the God of Light, the God of Dark Explosion, and the Lord of Crimson Corruption.

The more they watched, the more frightened they became.

"Could it be... a database shared by multiple worlds?" Qiao Yu murmured.

She had already heard Liu Sheng say that in another higher-dimensional world, she had seen an almost identical app interface, only with a different deity.

In retrospect, all these similarities are by no means accidental.

“It’s probably the same developer, with the architecture built on a multi-dimensional general-purpose server,” Liu Sheng explained. “Each world has a corresponding front-end interface, but the back-end uses the same database.”

“We enter through the ‘Wanfo Temple’ portal, so what we see is the temple style, which is actually just a different style template rendered by the gods. But the underlying logic is the same.”

She paused, watching the strings of deity labels drift past her, then frowned and sighed:

"Just who is this developer? Do they specialize in... cross-dimensional, cross-planetary deity worship systems?"

"Furthermore, what kind of civilization would use this thing to maintain its faith?"

"Of course, it needs to be a wasteland civilization that gives people hope of becoming gods."

A voice slowly appeared.

It sounded as if it came from the depths of a database, or as if it were whispering in their ears.

Liu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine.

The lightning ball exploded, but only caused ripples in the ion flow.

Qiao Yu immediately threw out a paper figure in an attempt to detonate it.

But the owner of that voice easily grabbed it.

He held both dialog boxes in his hand and examined them closely for a long time.

It's also impossible to tell which part of the body the other person is using to look.

This entity is described as an enormous cube, within which swirling and flickering symbols and information constantly collapse and recombine to form a mysterious halo, as if one could see the rise and fall of countless universes within it.

Staring at it for too long can overwhelm you with the sheer volume of information inside, giving you a dizzying sensation.

[Quantum Firewall!]

"The world" said silently.

What? This is it?

I initially thought the reason we were able to penetrate so easily was because of the passage of time and the lack of a quantum firewall. It turns out it's simply because this region doesn't have one yet, but the server hub does.

So, even though my original body came to this world with a more sophisticated spatial construction, I was unable to reach this point?

【That's right.】 "World" added a reminder:
Handle the situation carefully and buy yourself time.

Liu Sheng knew that this meant the "world" was about to break through, and his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu also heard the "world's" words and was still racking her brains for a way to respond when she saw the quantum firewall first pick up Qiao Yu's wish, sniff it at an unknown part of her body, and say in a teasing tone:

"How did a mere Taoist priest end up in this world?"

"How...how did you know...I'm a Taoist priest?"

Qiao Yu stammered.

“I’ve seen too many Taoist priests, but yours is too obvious. And you’re even using talismans here.”

He took another puff.

"Hmm, promotion... So you're still stuck at the ordination stage, what a pity..."

How did you know?

Qiao Yu was even more surprised this time.

Meeting Liu Sheng's curious gaze, he said, "This is what I mentioned before, the thing I hoped you would help me accomplish—going to Wangmiao Mountain to receive the ordination and promotion."

Liu Sheng tapped the chat box to indicate that there was no problem.

"I told you, I know you little Taoist priests too well."

With a flick of his finger, rows of information cabinets automatically unfolded in the void.

"Look, these are all prayers from your Taoist disciples to Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, Guangchengzi, Zhang Daoling, and the like. Nine out of ten of them are hoping to receive ordination."

"Even these gods have apps...?" Qiao Yu was momentarily lost in thought.

"Of course, our services cover a very wide range," the quantum firewall said proudly.

“Anyway, these gods are just a concept, a vessel of faith. Whether they are real or not is completely unimportant,” Liu Sheng suddenly said from the side.

Upon hearing this, the quantum firewall paused, then experienced a violent fluctuation, and picked up Liu Sheng again to "stare" at her intently for a long time.

Finally came to the conclusion:
"An ordinary person."

【puff. 】

【world!】

I'm sorry, this is the first time I've heard someone describe you like this...

This was also Liu Sheng's first time.

But the quantum firewall didn't see anything wrong with it; on the contrary, its tone was somewhat playful:

"However, it's not easy for an ordinary person to get this far..."

Another wave of fluctuation.

"Oh, no, you're not exactly ordinary either..."

"I see. You're one of my kind—quantum psychopaths."

"That's quite rare."

At this moment, there was a touch of warmth in his voice.

But it also added a bit of doubt.

"But your world hasn't even reached that stage yet... so why is it like this..."

"That's really unsettling."

[OOC Index: 45%]

Liu Sheng felt a chill run down her spine.

This was the first time Qiao Yu had received such a notification, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

I need to find a way to delay; I need time.

A hint of anxiety could finally be heard in the calm tone of "the world".

Liu Sheng didn't need to respond.

Because the firewall was still talking to itself, its tone nonchalant:
"In the end... you two are the two that Wanfo Temple is looking for..."

"You're from Shunfeng Express Group, right?" Liu Sheng suddenly interrupted them.

Qiao Yu was stunned.

The firewall then stalled once again.

"how do you know?"

This time it was its turn to ask a question in return.

"Along the way, there was always something... pushing us from behind. But we were always vague about it, and the main storyline was right in front of us, but we kept ignoring it."

"If we're going to get back to the main storyline... then we should focus on the people we first met..."

Liu Sheng's mutterings were not understood by the other party, who then returned to indifference:
"It seems you were just guessing too."

“Of course not.” Liu Sheng delayed for a moment and got back to the main point. “First of all, I want to say that if this app can be spread to so many planets, then it must be an organization with interstellar transportation capabilities.”

"At first, I thought it was a god."

The "Gods" clan.

That is, that colorful thing.

The firewall whispered:
"...So you think it's 'gods'? Well, that's not impossible. From a lower dimension's perspective, how could it not be considered a god?"

"Yes, these gods were originally ignorant and unconscious, drifting in the universe by instinct, searching for planets to parasitize."

Looking back, when Liu Sheng first entered the high-dimensional analysis instance "behind Him," he had only one instinct: to descend and then parasitize.

"In the vast universe, there are many such decaying and degenerate planets suitable for parasitism, but for a wandering race, the chances of encountering one are extremely slim."

"So why not just use a courier company to ship it?"

"You're quite clever," the firewall said coldly. "It seems that saying you're just an ordinary person was a bit of an underestimation."

"Thank you."

Liu Sheng readily accepted the praise.

"But if it is transported there, it will only be a vessel for a god. Without enough faith to infuse it, it still cannot become a high-dimensional god. So you simply developed this kind of thing as a supporting service to provide to the god race."

"Yes."

The firewall gradually materialized into a strange creature with many eyes and a colorful liquid body that extended into the shape of many hands.

He was wearing a somewhat familiar uniform with the words "Swift Wind Express" written on his chest.

But Liu Sheng estimated that the script would look different to people from different civilizations, otherwise how would other civilizations understand it?

Qiao Yu gasped, "You are..."

"The founder of Instant Wind Transport." The being extended a hand. "Hmm... Your civilization's etiquette is a handshake, right?"

As an outsider, Liu Sheng couldn't deny it either.

So I touched hands with it.

The information streams rubbed against each other.

"Are you also... a member of the divine race?" Liu Sheng asked, seeing the colorful substance flowing like the starry sky on its body.

"In the end, who among us isn't?" That being chuckled softly.

A chill crept up Liu Sheng's back.

She remembered that tangled mess in her parents' minds back then.

But the founder clearly misunderstood Liu Sheng's gaze: "That's right, in your world, those who come out of the breeding factory are all our people."

"Wanfo Temple is just our agent."

"That's why you've gone to such lengths to help them," Liu Sheng suddenly realized.

“That’s right. Reproduction in the universe is the instinct of all living things, and we are no exception. But most of our people can only do it by instinct, but I am different.”

Liu Sheng realized that this was a "deity" with an independent self, which was indeed different from other "deities" with collective thinking.

"I have the ability to travel through countless worlds to learn. When I have learned enough, I will finally be able to return and save my people and my civilization."

"So you founded Swiftwind Express..."

"They also developed this 'deity' worship software."

"Yes."

The being smiled coldly and changed the subject:
"Alright, I've told you all this because I feel we have some similarities, it's a rare coincidence—it's definitely not to give you time to break through my firewall."

Liu Sheng and Qiao Yu secretly realized something was wrong.

Before he could say anything more, the other party waved his hand:

"You guys go back."

The database dissipated as smoke, and the main hall of Wanfo Temple was projected back into the void.

The next moment, countless gods and Buddhas appeared in the sky.

Golden Buddha hands descended from the sky, pressing down heavily!
