Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

The little robot floated up, and this time it didn't attack, but tried to communicate.

Question: Why didn't organic life destroy me?

“The attempt to annihilate you has failed. Logically, you will destroy me; that is the optimal solution.”

Seeing this, Dhāna looked at Śāma beside him and said, “Śāma, you answer this question.”

"Yes."

Shemo stepped forward.

“Benefactor Tie, the universe is filled with killing, and so is our heart.”

"It was this impulse that led to our mutual destruction, the devastation of the world, and the creation of an unbreakable cycle of blood and fire."

"And we monks of Danlun Temple have been constantly practicing precisely to resist it."

"Because above killing, we have found a greater power."

"A greater power?" The robot paused, then retorted:

"Negative: Apart from biological weapons, I have not detected any other types of weapons that you have equipped."

Tuona smiled faintly:

“The power that Shemo speaks of cannot be detected by ordinary instruments.”

The little robot was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

"Logic: [Greater Power] can be used for iterative upgrades of anti-organic equations, and it is recommended to include it in the database."

"We can learn from organic life, and we will eventually prevail."

Question: How do I obtain the [power] you speak of?

"First, dress as a woman." The Dharma Protector, Vairocana, said very seriously.

Robot: "Transaction complete."

Shemo: "?"

Chapter 1036 This is a Saint!

“Vili, what lies are you spouting?”

"Ahem, I was just teasing him," Pili said with a faint smile. "Are we really going to teach a machine that attacked us?"

Tuona's voice was steady:

"The celestial wheel hangs high, illuminating the heart of the mortal world."

"To understand this power requires countless hours of practice."

Shemo proposed:

“We’re in a hurry to get to the Immortal Ship, Benefactor Tie.”

“If you want to learn about Danlun Temple, we can travel together and have Master Tuona preach and expound the Dharma for you along the way. Master, is that appropriate?”

Tuona looked at the little robot and nodded.

"Our meeting here is a result of good karma."

"However, since this iron benefactor wants to travel with us, I must first subdue its evil nature to prevent it from harming people again."

……

Office of the Prison of Imprisonment.

The little robot stated:

"Conclusion: I accepted the invitation of the monks of Tanrin-ji Temple to travel with them."

“The wise monk Dharani blocked my weapons system to prevent me from abusing violence during my journey.”

"They came from the edge of the star system, and swore an oath to go to the Immortal Ship Luofu to petition for the protection of the Immortal Ship people for more than 10,000 monks and 13,000 civilian children."

Question: I don't understand why, if they possess power beyond killing, they can't protect themselves in the universe and need to seek refuge?

Question: Does a power exist that transcends killing?

"There is no relevant information in the database. In order to find the answer, I can only record the monks' fragmentary words as a reference for deduction."

This is why the little robot traveled with the monks of Danlun Temple.

Yan Huan stared at the intelligent machine surrounded by underworld officials and pondered:

"In my view, killing is always the most important force, and all other forces are always subordinate."

"For example, a planet targeted by the antimatter legion, or by rift creatures or abundant abominations, must fight back by killing."

"You can live without nuclear weapons, but you can't live without them, right?"

The underworld messengers and the Sky-Riding had no objection to Yan Huan's opinion.

The Immortal Boat Alliance has survived to this day thanks to the power of killing. Whoever kills us, we will kill them.

The little robot didn't say anything, it just continued to play the TV for them.

……

The Calamity Cluster, 51 days before the start of the Martial Arts Ceremony...

"Look at these guys!"

A large group of people surrounded the three master and his disciples of Danlun Temple, their faces full of mockery.

“I smelled the scent of my own kind, but I also saw them wearing collars.”

"As a wolf that has received the grace of the eternal Lord, it deliberately sharpens its claws and teeth, puts itself in shackles, flees in panic like a dog, and even shows great sympathy to its weak prey."

"What difference is there between you abandoning His gifts and putting yourselves on the dinner table?"

Despite being surrounded, Shemo still insisted:

"Fellow countryman, please allow me to correct one of your mistakes: the human brevicor is ultimately a branch of the genus Homo in the family Hominidae."

"To see yourself as a wolf is a mistake of the past. To see yourself as a human being gives you more choices."

“You are born into a hunting pack, just like frogs trapped in a well, only seeing the choice of killing at the well’s edge.”

"As the saying goes, 'A single good thought can open up a vast world,' only by stepping out can one find a wide expanse of possibilities."

“We have not abandoned the blessing, but rather conquered it; we have broken free from narrow-minded struggles.”

Upon hearing Shemo's words, Bu Liren, who was at the front, chuckled.

"Hahahahaha!"

"I think you're more like a frog, croaking incessantly!"

"I hope you'll keep chattering even when I'm disemboweling you!"

Seeing the wolf soldiers rushing over, the Dharma Protector Vili quickly stepped in front of the two, shouting, "Master, be careful!"

After a fierce battle, the lone wolf escaped, and the most seriously injured Dharma protector monk finally collapsed.

Before his life faded away, Vili maintained his smile, "Master Dhana, I didn't turn back into a wolf..."

"For the first time in my life, I can fight so calmly..."

In the video, the life of the Dharma Protector Vili comes to an end.

Samma and Dharana found a place and buried Vili.

“Bury him here. Vili likes a cool, dark environment. It will give him a sense of returning home.”

Seeing the two busy burying Bili, the little robot that followed them spoke:

"Incomprehensible."

"It is known that, through the martial arts ceremony, you wish to petition for Danlun Temple to join the Immortal Boat Alliance."

"But your precepts are seriously hindering the achievement of the goal."

"Logic: Calculations show that conquering and annihilating the Immortal Ship and eliminating all non-consensus individuals is the optimal solution to achieve the goal."

"The precept of [not killing] greatly restricts your ability to act. It is an unreasonable algorithm that deprives Vili of his organic life."

If Vili had been willing to be ruthless and kill the wolves directly during the previous battles with those hunting packs, the enemies would not have been able to get up one after another and inflict repeated damage on Vili.

If he were willing to revert to Bu Liren's form, his chances of survival would greatly increase given his combat prowess. He might still be severely injured, but it would be difficult for him to die.

But Bili did not do that, and in the end died happily.

This is completely incomprehensible to omnipotent machines.

It is utterly incomprehensible to have the power to kill but not use it.

Tuona slowly rose and explained:

"That's what I thought when I first joined Tanrinji Temple."

"This universe repeatedly forces you to use violence. On the road to protecting civilians and monks in their escape, it's either kill or be killed..."

“I have broken my vow of not killing more than once. I would rather have my hand broken by the ring I wear than tear open the throat of my enemy.”

Upon hearing this, the intelligent machine spoke:

Question: What revised your conclusion?

Tuona replied with a smile:

"I adopted Shemo."

"I saw the fear in her eyes when she watched me fight."

"I realize that each of us is shaping the world of tomorrow."

“I cannot plant the seeds of fear and hatred in the soil of the future, and let Samo become a link in the cycle of blood and fire.”

“Beyond killing, we still have the right to choose, and the existence of Tanrinji Temple is the best proof of that.”

“Death is merely the passing away of the body. In this war against the universe, as long as we uphold the commandment of non-killing, we will never face the defeat of the soul.”
