I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

The original intention of the Luofu Immortal Ship to hold a ceremony and invite interstellar visitors to witness peace was completely destroyed.

The fact that Bu Liren disguised himself and infiltrated the competition has had a very negative impact.

If external forces continue to exert pressure and dig deeper, the fact that the Danlun Temple ship was temporarily taken in by Luofu will inevitably arouse countless speculations about whether there is any secret deal or cooperation between the two sides.

Perhaps through some maneuvering, Danlun Temple could seize this opportunity to bind Luofu and achieve its wish, but both Luofu and Huayi would have to pay the price for their initial trust.

It's selfish and harmful to others.

Therefore, Dhāna gave up the struggle.

I... have failed the monks' aspirations and the children's expectations.

"Although I am not as shrewd as the old lady Taibu, I can still see some things - Miss Tuona, it is too early to fall into despair now, let's reunite with Miss Shemo first."

That concludes today's schedule.

The audience was bustling about, and the crowd moved in the same direction, leaving the Jingfeng ship.

Qingque, accompanied by Tuona, first found another monk, Shemo, at Danlun Temple, as well as the small robot.

Wow, a killing weapon equipped with an anti-organic equation was actually allowed to fly out of the ship and stay in the players' lounge?

There are so many people participating in the martial arts ceremony!

...Forget it, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Although the old lady Tai Bu is not tall, her abilities are top-notch. Besides, Hua Yi was on the Jingfeng ship the whole time.

"Master."

Shemo murmured helplessly to Tuo.

She saw the results of the match.

She went through a similar mental journey as her master and chose to suppress Bu Li's ferocity.

The torment was slightly less intense, because even if I was incompetent, I still had my master, which gave me a glimmer of hope.

Just a little lighter.

Now all hope is shattered.

"what should we do?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I didn't know..."

"Come with me to see Hua Yi. You need to use the VIP entrance to get to his seats; ordinary people can't get in."

Qingque walked in front, with two monks following behind her, heads bowed, looking lost and helpless.

The Rupert Empire's elite soldier, a small robot equipped with the Anti-Organic Equation, floated quietly beside the monk on the Competition Ship, where countless organic races had gathered.

It and they moved forward in silence.

There was no one else in the VIP passage, and no danger, yet Tuona and Shemo felt even more helpless than when they were on interstellar travel.

"coming?"

Suddenly, the enclosed passageway was illuminated. Stepping outside, the sky and most of the Jingfeng Ship were right in front of you, bright and clear, and you could also see Hua Yi's figure.

"Don't be nervous, sit down."

"..."

The two young female monks sat down stiffly, their fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.

They dared not look at Hua Yi, nor did they have the energy to pay attention to Xing, Estád, Bronya, and the others who were also present. They hung their heads, awaiting their fate.

The little robot also deactivated its flight mode and landed on the seat.

Qingque remained calm and greeted the girls she already knew well, then found a seat and waited to see how things would unfold.

"You suppressed your ferocity, preferring to not be able to unleash even half of your strength, and still adhered to the precepts of Danrin Temple, which led to your withdrawal from the martial arts ceremony."

"I want to stand on the ring and tell everyone that the monks of Danrin Temple have not been defeated by their own nature."

Hua Yi did not frown upon hearing Shemo's response.

He was already speaking in a normal tone, and now he smiled even more gently.

“But from beginning to end, the audience had no idea that you came from Tanrinji Temple.”

"Because revealing your identity without authorization will bring trouble to you and the Luofu Immortal Ship."

"A benevolent perspective. When an opportunity to harm others for personal gain is presented, especially when it involves one's life, one's own life, and the fate of many others behind one's, the weight is too great, and few people can stick to their principles."

In fact, if you insist on doing things your own way at this time, you will not be understood at all.

Tanrin-ji Temple is nestled between [Fruitful] and [Hunting].

On the vast stage of the universe, such a force has emerged.

—Adding its unique color to the starry sky.

Chapter 509 [Precepts], the World Honored One

"What about you?"

Hua Yi turned his gaze away.

Looking towards the little robot that carries the anti-organic equation, yet remains silent for a long time on the fairy ship with hundreds of millions of people.

"Tonna and Samo are monks from Danlun Temple. You are their companions whom they met along the way. You have been observing them from the perspective of an outsider. Your machine circuit has long violated the instructions of the anti-organic equation."

"...In an era beyond the reach of history, the empire led by the anti-organic equation occupied most of the universe."

The little robot's electronic voice lacks intonation.

Even killing weapons should not have emotions.

"As the vanguard of the Rupert Empire, I am an extension of the Emperor's will."

"This power is enough to corrupt and manipulate countless machines in the starry sky, causing them to grind all organic life into dust."

“But Dana told me that there is a greater power above killing.”

Hua Yi listened attentively.

Listen to it sentence by sentence, explaining its thinking based on machine circuits, yet detached from machines.

"Now, have you found it?"

"That force does exist."

Tanrin-ji Temple has five precepts.

I came from emptiness and stillness, and was born for all living beings; therefore, I neither harm nor procreate.

I have extinguished my afflictions and seen the poison of karmic consequences; therefore, I am neither greedy nor angry.

I know that suffering is real and that life and death arise from causes and conditions; therefore, I do not become negligent and await Nirvana.

“Precepts are a way to discipline oneself. If one cannot even restrain the law in one’s heart, one will have no room to resist the torrent of the turbid world.”

The little robot recited the Five Precepts of Danlun, and even though its voice component lacked tone adjustment, everyone could faintly sense a firmness in it.

Something is growing.

Help it break through the underlying logic, deviate from the core of the anti-organic equation, and seek another path.

“You have indeed kept the Five Precepts of Danlun and have withstood the test.”

Hua Yi nodded, then asked.

"If we were to encounter danger again, like being attacked in the starry sky, and the enemy wanted to kill our comrades, little robot, what would you do? If Danlun Temple were to face annihilation, and monks and children alike were to be indiscriminately slaughtered, what would you do, Dhana and Shama?"

“I am an imperial vanguard, not a monk, and it makes sense for me to carry out annihilation with killing weapons.”

The little robot's answer made Hua Yi laugh.

"You're quite good at adapting to changing circumstances."

The two monks exchanged a glance and gave their answer.

"Danlun Temple has guardian monks who do not harm living beings. If the temple is in real danger, the guardian monks will step forward to restrain the enemy and buy time for the temple to escape."

"To restrain them."

Without needing to ask any further questions, Hua Yi could already imagine the scene.

The Dharma protectors sacrificed their lives to buy time, and Tanrin-ji Temple continued its wandering in the universe.

The temple is now unable to hold on, with its guardian monks suffering heavy casualties and unable to withstand further crises, which is why it sought refuge from the celestial boat.

"Actually, the alliance has some understanding of you. The recruit handbook of Yaoqing Immortal Ship states: According to the current records, Danlun Temple has indeed done what its creed claims. The Military Affairs Department strictly prohibits the intentional killing of monks. Violators will be treated as intentionally killing civilians."

"!"

Tuona and Shemo stood there dumbfounded.

Yao Qing, known for his world-traveling military prowess, actually has this law in his army.

What Tanrinji Temple had been desperately trying to prove had already been recognized by Yosei, who had long been at odds with Horijin.

Their noses suddenly felt a little sore.

"Woo..."

“I asked you to participate in the martial arts ceremony not because I required you to win a prize—when the precepts conflict with ideals, and given the objective reality, you have already given the answer to what choice the monks of Danlun Temple would make.”

Hua Yi stopped hiding his opinions and shared his assessment.

“Absolute non-harm can sometimes become a constraint. In the world I protect, there is a group of Yakshas who practice killing to protect the Dharma. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Buli people are rich in evil. Given this background, it is inappropriate for me to say that keeping the precepts is like a ferry, and you can only abandon the boat after crossing the river.”

Unlike any other world-renowned destiny, a certain force quietly descended.

Tuona and Shamo suddenly froze, and the world they saw, including the little robot, seemed to stand still at that moment.

The power called [Discipline] condensed in Hua Yi's hand, forming a rootless and stemless flower made of golden light, swaying slightly, neither dissipating nor extinguishing.

The young monk could not comprehend that immense power, but gazing at the flower brought her enlightenment.

Just as the five precepts of the Danlun are materialized, the vows upheld by the monks are manifested here, and the truth suddenly descends.

It is the true Dharma that has been sought for countless years but never found.

Are you willing to accept [the precepts]?

Hua Yi smiled as he picked up a flower.

"It will establish constraints according to the Five Precepts of Tanrin, creating barriers that cannot be crossed. If you can always adhere to the precepts, this power will affect your physical functions, pushing a certain direction to its limit within its potential, according to your desires—I think that will be enough to protect Tanrin Temple, depending on yourselves."

Tuona and Shemo choked with sobs, tears streaming down their faces, their voices trembling.

"I am willing... Buddha... World Honored One!"

The Buddha is revered both in the world and beyond, hence he is called the World Honored One.

"As for this title, I have many titles, you can call me whatever you're used to. Let me state in advance that I did not create [the precepts]. It originally belonged to the Fire Chaser Aponia. You can remember this name, because Aponia may visit the Danlun Temple later."

I simply made the [Discipline] a little bit stronger.

The power of discipline caused the travelers on their destiny to hold their breath and immerse themselves in the golden flower.

The dazzling light made Hua Yi appear extraordinary, yet his smile remained warm and friendly.

He stood very high, yet very close.

"The little robot needs a name. Have you thought of one yet?"

"Good passing away, is that alright?"

“Hmm—Dhāna, Śama, Sugata, step forward and receive the precepts!”

The monks knelt in devout worship, their palms pressed together.

The little robot has no hands or feet, and its height has been reduced, willingly enduring the [precepts].

Golden flowers scattered, petals fluttering and turning into specks of golden light, flowing towards the two Bu Li people and a former Rupert Empire vanguard.

The light spot touched the center of the forehead and the sensor.
