Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 438 "Mythical Great Luo - Xuanzang"

With the advantage of going first, Meng Yi firmly held the upper hand in the confrontation.

When the masses awaken to self-awareness and achieve the goal of everyone becoming like a dragon, they no longer need faith in gods and Buddhas as a spiritual anchor. They can realize their dreams with their own hands. Do gods and Buddhas still have any value?

With his trump card right from the start, and aside from physical confrontation, the pressure on "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" to overturn the situation with even more outstanding ideas is not low.

Unexpectedly, "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" chuckled and asked in return, "Young benefactor, do you know the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism?"

Buddhism is divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism, and the two differ significantly in many aspects, such as goals, concepts, and doctrines.

In terms of its goals, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the salvation of all sentient beings, focuses on collective interests and social responsibility, and is committed to guiding all sentient beings toward enlightenment.

Theravada Buddhism emphasizes personal liberation, focusing on individual practice and self-improvement, believing that one must liberate oneself before liberating others, and pursuing liberation at the individual level.

In terms of ideology, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the combination of wisdom and compassion, advocates "emptiness of self and phenomena," denies the reality of subjective and objective reality, and tends towards idealism.

Theravada Buddhism emphasizes basic practice and adheres to the concept of "emptiness of self and existence of phenomena," which denies subjective reality but does not completely deny objective existence.

In practice, Mahayana Buddhism believes that anyone can become a Buddha as long as they have sincere faith, emphasizing the concept of holism.

Theravada Buddhism advocates achieving inner peace and spiritual progress through discipline and meditation, thereby realizing personal enlightenment.

Finally, regarding the view of "Buddha," Mahayana Buddhism regards "Buddha" as an object of faith and worship, attributing everything to "Buddha."

Theravada Buddhism views the Buddha as an enlightened being and does not advocate sectarian beliefs. It believes that the Buddha simply takes the first step and points out the direction for sentient beings.

Everything happened for a reason.

The underlying meaning of "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" is quite clear: His ideas are seriously different from those of the existing "Buddhist group".

The pawn manipulated by a certain mastermind behind the scenes, "Mythical Great Luo Buddha," constantly refers to Meng Yi as "Great Demon."

The "Master Xuanzang," who was clearly of a higher status, politely addressed Meng Yi as "benefactor," seemingly not intending to follow the strategic guidelines of the "Buddhist group."

None of the five monsters present were stupid.

Even the weakest among them, Meng Yi, noticed something amiss with "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang." This fellow had other plans during the "God-Whale Fall Phenomenon" and "Calamity-Ragnarok" in the 38th Paradise Era.

“I am naturally aware of the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.”

With the "Lord of Miracles" behind him and "Solomon", "Mourning Woman" and "Corpse-Dissolving Immortal" protecting him, Meng Yi was not afraid to communicate normally with "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang".

It's not good to go from being proactive to being passive.

Meng Yi carefully considered his words and then passed the buck to "Xuanzang".

"With the master's insightful eyes, is the 'True Kingdom of Civilization Integration' Mahayana or Hinayana?"

"Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" shook his head twice in a row.

"Neither Mahayana nor Hinayana, this ideal state you have is nothing but a delusion."

"What I see is the result of interference from higher-ups in the benefactor's inner circle."

"Like the moon reflected in the water and the flower in the mirror, like a dream bubble that bursts at the slightest touch, it is ultimately empty."

Both Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism emphasize the subsequent events that originate from "I".

The strict order that governs the progress of civilization is nothing in the eyes of "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang".

……

This is a difference in philosophy.

The ideas of "Xuanzang" and "Buddhism" are different. The ideas of "Xuanzang" and Meng Yi are different. Meng Yi is not on the same path as "Xuanzang" and "Buddhism".

"May I ask you, Master, is there an end to civilization?"

Meng Yi posed a very pointed question, questioning "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" on what basis he judged that the existence of "Civilization Integration True Kingdom" was inferior to that of "Buddhist Mythical Universe Group".

"You can open your eyes and see what a disorderly society without restraint has become."

The "Buddhist Mythological Universe Group," which is in conflict with the "True Kingdom of Civilization Integration," has a rather poor internal civilization.

To say that civilization is merely to glorify the "Buddhist mythological universe" is to say that civilization is merely to embellish it.

Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats sit serenely in temples, enjoying incense offerings without any effort, reaping the faith of all souls.

In Buddhist-ruled civilizations, monks and temples do not engage in production, so the pressure is placed on the state that governs all people, further increasing the burden on the people.

It emphasizes faith and reincarnation.

Suffering in this life is the retribution for sins committed in the previous life. One must use suffering to cleanse oneself of sins so that one can enjoy happiness in the next life.

How can living beings awaken and gain enlightenment when immersed in such a distorted ecosystem? How can civilization develop and have a future?

"Young benefactor, please do not harbor anger."

"The Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" smiled as he picked up a flower, his wisdom illuminating the endless universe.

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, adorned in gold and jade, revealed their true forms, transforming into ferocious demons with fangs, wearing robes, and sitting regally in temples.

"Young benefactor, please look, how come these are 'Buddhas'?"

"They are nothing but a bunch of demons disguised as Buddhist monks."

Xuanzang takes an unconventional approach, directly denying the existence of the "Derivative A Certain Magical Index: Buddhist Mythology," and demoting it from "Buddha" to "demon."

"Buddha and demon are two sides, gods and demons are one, immortals and demons coexist, monsters and demons merge, and humans and demons are born together..."

"Buddhas, gods, immortals, demons, humans... and many more, can all stand in opposition to demons."

"This humble monk asks, is your 'True Kingdom of Civilizational Integration' a 'demon'?"

With a flick of his finger, "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" faded the appearance of the "True Kingdom of Civilization Integration," and the ends of countless lines converged on Meng Yi's body.

Before Meng Yi could answer, "Xuanzang" continued, "Young benefactor, this humble monk conducted an experiment at the 'Journey to the West Experimentation Ground' long ago."

"By calming the mind like a monkey, one can attain enlightenment."

If you rein in your wild will, it will transform into a dragon.

The eight precepts include abstaining from greed and lust.
Abstaining from killing and anger is enlightenment.

"The approach draws partly on experimental data from His Majesty the Supreme God of Heaven's 'Primordial Experimental Field.'"

"This technique cuts off all external demons, leaving only the pure self."

"Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" made his first move, using the same techniques he used to slay Wukong, the White Dragon, Bajie, and Wujing to sever the "White Demon's" influence on the "True Kingdom of Civilization Integration."

Incidentally, Xuanzang also sent the "original avatars" of the various powerful figures from the "Infinite True Realm Camp" back to where they came from.

“Fate is in your own hands, not in the hands of others, young benefactor. To actively interfere is to make you a demon as well. That is my answer.”

The game between the two players can be seen as both a confrontation and an exchange of ideas.

Meng Yi's expression remained unchanged. "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" severed the subsequent external influence of "Civilization Integration True Kingdom", but did not change the advantage of "Civilization Integration True Kingdom" in the confrontation with "Buddhist Mythical Universe Group".

If this continues, it's almost a foregone conclusion that "A Certain Magical Index: Buddhist Mythology" will be swept into the dustbin of history by "The True Kingdom of Civilization Integration".

……

The chess player's business is the chess player's business, and the business of all beings is the business of all beings. "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" does not care about the "Buddhist myth" that has degenerated into a "demon," and victory or defeat is not important to him.

Meng Yi frowned. "Xuanzang" just handed over the victory to someone else like that?
"Master Xuanzang, based on what you just said—immortal demons, Buddha demons, god demons, monster demons, human demons… and even my interference in the 'True Kingdom of Civilization Integration'—are you referring to the opposite of all the heavens and myriad worlds?"

On the other hand, one half, "The Dark Side of the Heavens: The Final Abyss"!
Has the "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" lost his mind and dared to subtly mock "those who should not exist"?
“…Young benefactor, please refrain from speaking nonsense.”

For the first time, Xuanzang's eyes, which were sparkling with wisdom, showed obvious emotional fluctuations. He was quite shocked by Meng Yi's extremely skillful way of scapegoating him.

"The 'demon' is not the 'dark side of the heavens,' and cannot explain everything."

"Otherwise, how could my technique of severing one's true self be of any use?"

"There is no way to avoid it, no way to hide from it; this is what should not exist."

Based on the words of "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang", it can be determined that "Demon" is a "True Infinity".

A "demon" must be a ruthless character who simultaneously clashes with numerous "true infinites" such as "Buddha," "immortal," "demon," and "god."

The "god" who was ganged up on by multiple "True Infinity" in the 38th Paradise Chronicle is still steaming. What kind of style does "True Infinity Demon" have?

"Cough cough."

"Corpse Dissection Immortal" coughed and explained to Meng Yi, "You'd have to ask your 'Evolution Paradise' about that."

The expressions of the four "Mythical Great Luo" present were quite interesting.

Meng Yi understood perfectly. In the 38th Paradise Chapter, "Evolution Paradise" targeted "Gods," so it was normal for them to target "Demons" in the past.

The five 'young people' were unaware that, according to the sharp critique of the 'Lord of Dualism,' 'True Infinite Demon' was the number one troublemaker who 'occupies the toilet without doing his business.'

If the "demon" doesn't go to a private room to enjoy himself, he can forget about severing his three corpses and transforming into his true self.

"Be careful what you say."

Solomon put his hand to his forehead. It's true that "True Infinite Demon" has secured a special seat, but that doesn't mean "Demon" is dead.

It's fine to think about it in your own head, but it's best to avoid discussing big shots in public.

"Since Master Xuanzang has no hostile intentions, please explain your purpose."

Meng Yi sensed his friend's underlying meaning, changed the subject, and stared intently at the monk in plain clothes.

There are many famous figures in Buddhism, so why did the rebellious Xuanzang come out of nowhere?
It's a pity that a real fight didn't break out, rendering Meng Yi's prepared trump card meaningless.

When the "ideal state" abandons the "ideal," the remaining pure part, the fire of freedom within the order, will burn away all decay.

“Young benefactor, I already said that from the beginning.”

"This humble monk refers to himself as a 'monk,' for a monk is a person, not a Buddha, not a Bodhisattva, and not an Arhat."

"Those who have different paths do not agree with each other."

"What about Hinayana Buddhism? What about Mahayana Buddhism? Neither is the path for a lesser monk."

The "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang," whose appearance is manifested as a monk in plain clothes according to the concept of "appearance reflects the heart," suddenly has a fierce and radical art style.

"Xuanzang, the Tripitaka Master, the Three Burials."

“Even if we interpret the monk in a narrow sense as ‘burying heaven, burying earth, burying all living beings,’ it is not wrong.”

"It is me, it is not me, it is not not me, it is all me!"

The "Mythical Great Luo Xuanzang" has shed the title of "Golden Cicada," abandoned the title of "Sandalwood Merit Buddha," and discarded the title of "Tang Sanzang."

Like the famous working-class tree spirit, "Xuanzang" no longer needs these embellishments to his existence; he is simply "Master Xuanzang".

……

"I've resigned and am preparing to enter the 'Pangu Transformation Stage,' a stage specially created by 'Interference Theory: Pangu Heavenly King' for the benefit of all beings."

"The path is not yet clear, and Master Xuanzang is still considering it. His plan for this trip is to travel more, observe more, and reflect more, so as to achieve unity of knowledge and action."

The prisoner's insightful statement exposed the riddle surrounding "Xuanzang."

You could say Solomon was a lazy bum, or that he was just lying around doing nothing, but you can't say he lacked insight.

Every now and then, he would use "Apocalypse" to connect with "Miracle Glory - God Yahweh Vest". "Solomon" had seen far more of the world than "Corpse-Dissolving Immortal" and "Mourning Woman".

“What the benefactor Solomon said is true.”

"I apologize for disturbing you four with matters concerning this world."

The "Master Xuanzang" openly acknowledged the "Solomon's" claim, and there was nothing to hide about it.

It's estimated that before long, the news of His escape from "Buddhism" will spread throughout the heavens and the myriad worlds.

No wonder Xuanzang's attitude was neither friend nor foe. He tore apart the truth of "Derivative Magic Abomination: Buddhism" from the very beginning, pointing out that Meng Yi's interference was not his true self, and even used the "Severing Disturbances and Cutting Out the Self" technique.

"This humble monk is merely a traveler on the path ahead. The White Demon's enemy is not this humble monk, but the 'demon.'"

"This demon is not the 'True Infinite Demon,' but the 'Buddha Demon,' and can be called the 'Greatly Free Bodhisattva,' 'Mara,' 'Lord of Supreme Power, Sixth Heavenly Lord of the Desire Realm.'"

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

"Mythical Great Luo Demon King Mara" is in the second tier of the fifth level of the pyramid, and can enter the "Dao Contest Stage" at any time if he wants.

Unfortunately, "True Infinite Demon" blocked a bunch of spawned little demons, monsters, and demon offspring.

Therefore, "Demon King Mara" took a different approach, jumping into the "Dark Side of the Heavens" and swimming like a butterfly, thus obtaining "Lord's Power - Sixth Heaven Lord of the Desire Realm".

Possessing both the "Dark Side of the Heavens: Lordship" and the "Buddhist Mythological Group," "Demon King Mara" has achieved his current status in the martial arts world.

"Demon King, Mara..."

There must be a reason for everything, and Meng Yi quickly figured out the cause and effect.

In order to deal with the "All-Heavens Forces - Transmigrator Alliance" incident, he created a "Free Demon Lord - Weiyang 2.0".

Every sip and every bite has its own destiny; this is a case of a fake meeting the real deal.

'Destiny, fate, destiny... sooner or later! Sooner or later! I'll tear you to shreds!'

The concept of "fate" is disgusting. As long as "fate" exists, who can truly say that their fate is in their own hands and not in the hands of others?
“Young benefactor, this humble monk has made a counterattack; this is to repay my entanglement with ‘Buddhism’.”

"It also helps the young benefactor sever the possibility of being traced back to him by 'Demon King Mara' and having his true form affected through the 'True Kingdom of Civilization Integration'."

"All matters are settled, and I have no further concerns. This humble monk will take his leave."

Xuanzang's tin staff transformed into a bamboo staff, his cloth robe into a hemp robe, and his monk's boots into straw sandals.

Just as carefree as when I traveled west in the past, but with a more relaxed mindset.

As the monk walked away into the distance, He recited:
"A solitary figure dwells wherever fate takes it, while the mind remains empty amidst the myriad phenomena."

Camel bells ring across the vast desert, snow-capped mountains stretch to the horizon.

A monk's robe draped in the cold moonlight, a bamboo staff carrying a chilled dew.

Why smile while plucking flowers? The wind and sand will naturally settle in meditation.
