The Growth of a God

Chapter 191 Using All Living Beings as Chess Pieces (13)

Stone is a ghost, a ghost born in a godless world.

If it was before the signing of the "Life-Saving Contract", even if undead spirits like Stone awakened themselves and possessed wisdom, they would only be a tiny member among the vast sea of ​​bones.

One day, it will be killed by Mechanical Kong and Electronic Bodhisattva during an attack on the "City of Intelligence", and then buried again under the "City of Intelligence".

After all, this is the fate of the undead born in this world, and it is a process of self-circulation of this world.

However, the arrival of the savior Quinn broke this fate.

As the savior of the undead, and the rebel who caused the undead scourge...

Quinn used his actions to tell the undead in this world that even though they were born in chaos and death, they are qualified to live.

From that day on, the undead were no longer just prey to mechanical King Kong and electronic Bodhisattvas.

They are another force in this world, a force that is powerful enough to compete with "Buddha".

More importantly, the dead now have their own beliefs and support.

Yao Xin, the goddess of death from another world and the most powerful true god under the Creator, has become the god believed by countless undead who have awakened their wisdom.

The coming of the goddess of death brought faith, hope, technology and civilization to the dead.

Coupled with the oppression from the outside world, the undead in this world emerged from the primitive stage of ignorance in a very short time.

With intelligent individuals as the core, they have given birth to a special war empire that was born for war and died for war.

The undead don't need to eat, drink, or even sleep...

All their productivity is for fighting, to defeat those "Buddha" believers.

Just like a gear rotating at high intensity, the undead squeezed out their own potential using the most extreme methods.

The daytime of this world is the world of mechanical King Kong and electronic Bodhisattva.

They will rush out of the "City of Intelligence" and slaughter the defenseless undead skeletons in their own way.

Once night falls, the souls of the dead filled with the desire for revenge will crawl out from the ground, counterattack and attack the defense line of the "City of Intelligence".

The repeated battles between the two forces lasted for hundreds of years.

Stone is just one of them, and not even the most outstanding one among them.

But such an insignificant little character suddenly had a doubt one day - is this war meaningful?
Could it be that I am destined to die in a battle again?
If I don't continue fighting, what else can I do?

Or more precisely, will those "Buddha" believers allow themselves to live?
Is it really necessary to continue this endless war when neither side is able to completely defeat the other?

......................................................................................................

"Buddha, is it necessary to continue this endless war?"

Standing in the center of the Intelligent City, an electronic Bodhisattva overlooked the almost endless waves of undead below, and couldn't help but once again raise his questions to the Central Think Tank.

Unlike the stones at the bottom level, the electronic Bodhisattva is a component of the Zenith Vajra's brain.

Therefore, this electronic Bodhisattva knows the entire content of the "World-Saving Contract" and also clearly knows how this undead disaster that is destined to never end was formed.

This is a bet between gods, a secret contest between gods.

As long as one of the gods is unwilling to admit defeat, this war is destined to never end.

At first, Electronic Bodhisattva didn't think there was anything strange about this.

Because before the undead disaster, this world was a place where "Buddha" selected apostles and gods.

As long as this world is still moving, as long as there are civilizations from other worlds coming to this world, it can provide this world with a constant supply of nutrients and vitality. Whether it is assimilation or resistance...

Even the Electronic Bodhisattva himself is a new individual reborn after being destroyed time and time again.

Its memory module contains all the memories of its predecessor, and it knows that once it completes its mission, it will become the incarnation of "Buddha" like other successful people and go to the world where "Buddha" truly exists.

But the problem is, with the signing of the "World-Saving Contract", those bones that were originally regarded as "residues" by themselves have gradually turned into a new civilization - a civilization that is vowed to be the enemy of "Buddha".

From the perspective of the electronic Bodhisattva, it always feels that this is like raising a tiger to cause harm.

[Your vision is still too shallow after all. ]

Just when the Electronic Bodhisattva thought that the Central Think Tank would not respond to his questions as usual, a cold and mechanical voice echoed in his electronic brain.

【Buddha is all sentient beings, and all sentient beings are Buddhas.】

[You and I are incarnations of Buddha, and those who have passed away are also incarnations of Buddha.]

【Buddha is everywhere. If you have Buddha in your heart, you can become Buddha.】

[The dead just haven't realized it yet, but they will sooner or later.]

Faced with this answer from the Central Think Tank, the Electronic Bodhisattva remained silent.

It doesn't know whether this is the answer from the central think tank or the answer from the "Buddha" hiding behind the scenes.

The only thing that is certain is that the Electronic Bodhisattva does not agree with this answer.

The electronic brain that was originally operating normally began to show confusion and contradictory logic, and two completely different viewpoints conflicted in the mind of the electronic Bodhisattva.

On the one hand, the answer of "Buddha" is imprinted in the underlying logic of the electronic brain like a thought stamp.

But on the other hand, everything he had personally experienced made Electronic Bodhisattva unable to accept this point of view.

【This is just a game of God. 】

Suddenly, a completely different thought suddenly arose in the heart of the Electronic Bodhisattva.

[We are just pawns in the hands of God and Buddha. Our life and death are not important.]

As if awakened from a dream, the electronic Bodhisattva suddenly looked up at the sky, and some human emotions gradually appeared in its neon-flashing electronic eyes.

[I am unwilling... I don't want to be a pawn...]

Helpless, melancholy, yet mixed with a little will to resist...

For the first time, the electronic Bodhisattva so clearly separated his will from that of "Buddha".

This is an idea that belongs only to oneself, and it is different from and even opposite to the will of "Buddha".

Just like a data virus, the electronic Bodhisattva has never felt so suppressed and so restrained.

It longs for freedom, longs to cut ties with "Buddha", and longs to end this endless war.

After all...even if he had undergone inhuman mechanized transformation, even if he had dedicated all his faith to "Buddha".

The creatures in the "City of Intelligence" are still living creatures after all, and they have the right to decide their own life and death.

Somehow, the [Heavenly Dao System] noticed the existence of the Stone and Electronic Bodhisattvas - noticed these two special outliers in their respective ethnic groups.

Thus, the gears of fate began to turn.
