The Growth of a God

Chapter 186 Electronic Buddha (23)

【Buddha? Vajra?】

Having witnessed the entire battle between Quinn and the group of King Kongs, Li Hao didn't know how to describe his current mood for a moment.

Surprised, stunned, confused, suddenly realized...

All kinds of complicated emotions mixed together, making Li Hao a little dazed.

Li Hao had indeed imagined what would happen if he encountered the gods in Earth mythology.

But he never expected that this time would come so quickly and the situation encountered by both parties would be so special.

Li Hao, who stands in the perspective of God, obtains much more information through the [Heavenly Dao System] than Quinn, so he knows more clearly what is happening in the world.

The truth of this world... is far more cruel than Li Hao imagined.

The belief in "Buddha" is not the original belief of this world.

This world was once an extremely rare world dominated by innate gods, a world where innate gods and acquired gods lived in harmony.

Whether they are innate gods born from nature or acquired gods nurtured by civilization.

After experiencing several major wars, they basically developed a tacit understanding.

The innate gods occupied their own territory and developed some new civilized priesthoods in addition to the natural priesthood.

The acquired gods protect their own civilization and emphasize harmonious coexistence with nature beyond their civilized duties.

If there had not been the subsequent appearance of "Buddha", this world might have become a model of harmonious coexistence between innate gods and acquired gods.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

Just when the innate gods and the acquired gods gradually found a path of development for common prosperity, "Buddha" appeared.

At the beginning, only a few believers began to believe in "Buddha".

Then large groups of believers began to change their beliefs.

By the time the gods of this world realized that something was wrong, the belief in "Buddha" had already taken root in this world.

What is more strange is that the belief in "Buddha" does not refer to a specific god, but to a common group.

All the gods who joined this group shared the belief in "Buddha".

Therefore, even if the gods of this world want to find the so-called "Buddha", they cannot find a specific object.

Not only that, this kind of "Buddha" is like a "virus" among the types of beliefs, changing the beliefs of a large number of original believers at an almost terrifying speed.

The gods of this world were horrified to find that their believers actually believed in those unreasonable ideas.

Because in the Buddha's teachings, all beings are equal, including God.

The fate of the past and the cause and effect of the next life were determined the moment you were born.

Only by believing in the Buddha's philosophy and practicing the Buddha's behavior can one get rid of the suffering of the past and present and attain paradise at some point in the future.

In that blissful world, all living beings are incarnations of "Buddha" and will enjoy eternal happiness.

——Take refuge in the Buddha and be reborn in paradise!
Based on this basic concept, "Buddha" derived the practice of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which gave those ordinary beings a clear way of life and ultimate goal.

To be honest, this world has also had gods and beliefs from foreign lands.

But those gods are just a group of outsiders after all, and the way they collect faith is nothing more than intimidation, appeasement, and performing miracles.

Only "Buddha" is different.

He puts gods and humans on the same level, allowing believers to believe that they are the incarnation of "Buddha" and that sooner or later they will return to the world of "Buddha". The pain and suffering they experience in the mortal world are just the inevitable experience of returning to "Buddha".

In fact, the more hardships and sufferings you endure in this world, the higher your merits are, and the sooner the day of your return to "Buddha" will come.

From that day on, the civilization of this world began its decline.

The extremely developed material civilization allows the creatures in this world to pursue spiritual enjoyment without restraint.

The idea that "all living things suffer and only one can save oneself" made them gradually abandon their former gods and beliefs.

The most terrifying thing is that under the influence of the believers, the gods of this world are also showing signs of being assimilated by "Buddha".

——All sentient beings are Buddhas, and gods are also Buddhas.

By the time the innate gods, who did not rely much on faith, reacted, some of the acquired gods had already begun to regard themselves as "Buddhas".

This is the truly scary part!

The target of "Buddha" from the beginning was not the believers, but the gods that the believers believed in!
Under the influence of "Buddha", those former gods chanted Buddhist scriptures, sat on lotus pedestals, and appeared in this world in a completely new way.

Until this time, the gods of this world still didn't know who their enemies were.

The existence called "Buddha" has not even appeared, but it has already successfully divided the civilization of this world and seized control of this world.

In order to resist the illusory yet omnipresent "Buddha", the remaining gods had to launch a great war.

It was an unprecedented war of internal consumption!
A war that will eventually turn the world into ruins!

Perhaps it is out of love for this world, or perhaps it is out of hatred for "Buddha"...

The most powerful innate god, regardless of the risk of his own death, joined the ultimate battle in his true form, trying to force out the "Buddha" who had been hiding behind the scenes.

As a result, the "Buddha" did not appear, or rather, he did not appear in the normal way of a god.

Gather the power of the assimilated gods and the faith from the entire civilized world...

A vast and majestic "Buddha" appeared.

He was born in a virtual world and possesses the talent of manipulating information.

Every god assimilated by him is his incarnation, and every believer who believes in "Buddha" is his power.

He is God, yet He is not God.

Because the gods are only a part of Him, its essence is the "enemy of God" created by the civilizations of this world.

This "enemy of God" was originally just a virtual world built by the civilization of this world.

All believers and souls who believe in "Buddha" can freely enter and exit that virtual world and swim in the ocean of data.

However, when the first assimilated god also entered this virtual world.

This virtual network world has already gone beyond the normal data scope and entered a higher dimension and level.

It's not just believers who become part of the virtual world.

Even the gods who are above the dimension of life have become part of this data world.

On this point, "Buddha" did not lie.

At least in that virtual data world, the relationship between God and man has reached an unprecedented equality.
