Chapter 882

Shen Zhengdao stared at his son's eyes: "It's true that the Bu-li people bear on their backs a great mountain called 'prejudice,' but such a 'mountain' must also have appeared on other races. Now, within the alliance, the three peoples can live in harmony, and this is surely inseparable from the efforts and perseverance of the fox people and the Chi-ming ancestors for the alliance's peace. The process of eliminating prejudice may be long… a century, a millennium is no surprise, but as long as this group of Bu-li people from Danlun Temple can hold fast to their original hearts and guard themselves, I believe the day will come when prejudice against the Bu-li people is completely dispelled."

——

""Sorry, I cannot answer your question." Yu Kong shook his head."

""The Xianzhou does not wish to believe in Danlun Temple, nor give them a chance to speak; thus the contradiction will never be resolved, and the cycle of blood and fire will persist." Shan Shi said, "Ms. Yu Kong, although I am no longer a monk of Danlun Temple, to fulfill Shenmo's wish, I will show you my resolve——"

"When survival pressure exceeds a certain threshold, the bodies of organic life choose the wrong strategy; they close themselves off, lose their voice, abandon perception, and even stop thinking."

"Then, a piercing roar knocked on their consciousness, bearing the horn of the Machine Empire, together with the blood and fire that have flowed for thousands of amber ages."

"For a moment, the alarm echoed within the sealed dark prison."

"The underworld emissaries rushed into the interrogation room, loudly reporting: 'Warning, warning, all the golden persons in the dark prison have lost control; the control panel has no response.'"

"And in every corner of the dark prison, the golden persons were encircling all the organic life they had witnessed, indifferent to how the underworld emissaries tried to control them."

""The uncontrolled golden persons are shrinking the encirclement, requesting support, requesting—— hey? hey! Damn, the communication system too……"

"Only one voice echoed within the dark prison."

""Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate!"

"The underworld emissaries also discovered a horrifying fact: '…Do you feel that the mechanical components on the armor have frozen……'"

""Everyone, enter alert status! Repeat, everyone enter alert status!"

"A bead of cold sweat slid down Yu Kong's forehead: 'Mechanical… what do you intend to do?'"

""In an age beyond historical reckoning, the empire led by the anti-organic equation once occupied half the universe; as a vanguard of the Rupert Empire, I am the extension of the imperial will."

——

One-Punch Man.

""Wait…… don't speak! First, don't speak!"

"The various weapons in Child Emperor's backpack all shot out with a 'swish,' and at the same time, the Drive Knight sitting opposite the table instantly lost response, the signal lights on his face completely dimming."

"Child Emperor's face turned pale as he frantically pressed the button on his backpack to retract the weapons, but no matter how he pressed it, it was useless—those weapons seemed to have frozen, neither attacking on their own nor obeying the recall command, as if they had merely popped out for display."

"His clothes were instantly soaked in cold sweat, Child Emperor felt his heart about to leap out of his chest—this could instantly blast half the Association to smithereens!"

""Sigh, you guys……"

"Tornado lightly sighed, then snapped his fingers with a 'pop,' and a transparent energy bubble began to appear on Child Emperor and Drive Knight, enveloping them both."

"Tornado glared at Child Emperor with a hint of reproach: 'Hasn't it been several months since you were last infected by the anti-organic equation? What have you been doing all this time? Didn't you study this at all? To be hit by the same move twice, your quality is truly lamentable.'"

""This… after all, the anti-organic equation previously only appeared with the simulated universe; I never expected there to still be remnants of the imperial war—indeed, we have been remiss." Child Emperor lowered his head guiltily.

"The anti-organic equation is completely different from the power of the Star Gods' paths; although the latter can spread here, its strength compared to the scenes in the heavens has been greatly weakened. But the equation is not like that—it has no gradation of power, only simple 'effective' or 'ineffective'…… the result is also obvious."

"However, what is strange to Child Emperor is that the machinery invaded by the anti-organic equation this time showed no aggression; could it be because of Shan Shi?"

——

""This power is sufficient to contaminate and manipulate all machinery here, commanding them to grind all organic life into powder. But what I wish to demonstrate is not the will to kill. For above killing, I have found a greater power……"

""In death battle, raise the beacon fire; observing precepts, hold the golden lock. Life and death, killing and giving are all in my hands; I cultivate evil affinities to bind good fruition."

""What of self-nature? All arising is me. Originally false, utterly unattached; do not say whose nature is defiled and turbid."

"In the high-frequency overload's shrill whistle, all mechanical constructs were released from the control of the anti-organic equation's curse."

"Vanguard 0089 【Shan Shi】 blew its own fuse, returning to emptiness."

""Shan Shi?"

"Looking at the robot lying motionless on the ground, Shenmo could hardly believe his eyes."

"It has attained nirvana."

——

Jackie Chan Adventures.

""I have never cultivated good deeds, only loved killing and arson. Suddenly breaking the golden cord, here I snap the jade lock. Eh! The tide news arrives on the Qiantang River; today I finally know who I am." Jackie Chan gazed at the small robot returning to emptiness in the sky, and this verse suddenly rose from the depths of his memory."

""Shan Shi, he really resembles Master Zhishen……"

""Uncle Long, what poem were you just reciting?" Xiao Yu happened to catch the last line, finding it very profound."

"Have you heard of the Four Great Classics?"

""I know, I know!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, eagerly saying: "I've watched the…… animated series of Journey to the West! That monkey is totally awesome!"

""Oh, it seems I should add another book to your extracurricular reading." Jackie Chan kept scrolling on his phone, fingers tapping the screen, "I just mentioned a monk from one of the classics, Water Margin, who wrote this verse before his final nirvana; it is very similar to the sentence Shan Shi chanted before his nirvana in the sky."

""But I don't understand the meaning of Shan Shi's final words……"

""You'll understand later, after you've finished these——" Jackie Chan handed the phone to Xiao Yu, "These are the extracurricular books I just ordered for you, from the Four Great Classics to introductory Buddhist texts, everything you need; once you finish them, you'll understand why Master Shan Shi attained nirvana."

""This, this many?! After reading all this I might attain nirvana myself!"

""When books are needed, one regrets their scarcity." Jackie Chan leaned back lazily on the sofa, "Just like your father's knowledge didn't appear out of thin air in your mind; if you want to quickly stand on your own, books are indispensable, right?"
