Chapter 1348 -1210: A Genius at Playing Games!

“Wow!

An artificial Buddha?” Yi exclaimed in surprise, “Is that even possible??”

“But by doing this, you’ll end up creating just an AI that has a Buddha Scripture Database and can speak nicely like a good person, right?

Can that even be considered a Buddha?”

“Give me a few months, and I could train one up, okay?!”

In reality, Yi could only access those highly commercialized intelligent assistants.

If one wanted to fine-tune a more advanced customized AI—like a Buddha—one would have to find the right channels, spend a lot more money, and invest a ton of effort.

So saying a few months was a bit of an exaggeration.

...

But the point was correct—this thing just wasn’t impressive enough!

The Little Monk, upon hearing these words, did not get angry but simply looked up wistfully at the illusory Big Buddha, then continued to lead the way.

Yi couldn’t keep his mouth shut and couldn’t help but continue to ask, “You were saying earlier about extracting the best qualities of humanity to infuse into the personality model to incubate ‘Buddha nature.’ Can I ask how exactly you extract that?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

The Little Monk, with a calm demeanor, continued to lead him deeper into the temple, eventually arriving at the Buddha Chanting Hall.

This Buddha Chanting Hall was different from the one that received tourists and pilgrims on the outside: everyone here sat silently on meditation cushions with their eyes tightly closed.

The Little Monk led Yi into the Buddha Chanting Hall and found two meditation cushions to sit down on.

“Now, connect to the Desire Realm.”

“Desire Realm?” Yi didn’t understand, but soon his electronic brain received an invitation, a private domain space opened up to him.

He then realized: the work to come would all be done within the virtual world.

Yi accepted the invitation.

The next moment, he experienced an incredibly intense hallucination!

Dense [zeros] and [ones] emerged on the surface of everything before all things quickly disintegrated, turning into green traditional characters.

The entire Buddha Hall, all the monks, dissolved into dense [zeros] and [ones], merging into the Earth—or rather, into the sea of characters.

The Buddha Hall disappeared, and the outside scenery came into view.

But this data tide, assimilating everything, did not stop; instead, it swept across Eight Sides with even greater ferocity!

Everything was assimilated, dissolved, even the sky and clouds turned into swiftly flowing data!

Yi’s consciousness, following this tidal wave of data, expanded and spread out! like an unstoppable huge wave!

And yet!

Like a tiny ripple.

—In the final moment, Yi’s consciousness reached the edge of the “Desire Realm,” touching an even more colossal, grand world that was breathtaking at just a glance!

Compared to that magnificent world, the “Desire Realm,” this tiny world, was nothing, not even a puddle.

One second, he felt as if his consciousness expanded infinitely, becoming an enormous entity, and the next second, he was brought back to reality by the true enormity, realizing his insignificance and triviality.

This strong contrast left Yi dazed for a good while, he even felt like an ant that had gently touched a towering mountain with its antennae.

He strongly doubted: he had not connected with the virtual world of one city, “Cyber Chang’an,” but the real virtual world!

It wasn’t until the Little Monk ran out of patience and woke him up that Yi came back to his senses and looked at this “Desire Realm.”

And with that one glance, he was deeply shocked:

Hundreds of monks sat cross-legged on invisible clouds above, with the bustling masses below like ants, and above them the Buddha with half-open eyes and a bright Buddha light.

Numerous fine beams of light emerged and rose from the backs of the crowd’s heads, gathering toward the clouds.

The monks sitting cross-legged scrutinized and processed these streams of data, rejecting the inadequate ones and letting through the qualified, meticulously.

In the end, the filtered data turned into streams of light that entered into the brow of the Big Buddha.

Yi looked around and realized this cloud was not alone—there were countless other clouds in all directions, with innumerable monks on them doing the exact same thing.

The data streams during upload appeared as fine as hairs.

But as they say, many a little makes a mickle, and when hundreds of thousands or even ten million streams converged, they turned into a dazzling river of light!

Millions of people offered up their thoughts, and hundreds of thousands of monks worked tirelessly night and day, all to create a real Buddha.

What a wildly imaginative idea, yet so ambitiously grand!

…

“Just sit here and watch how I do it,” the Little Monk returned to his spot and began working, with the streams of light naturally converging towards him from beneath the clouds.

“Remember, don’t touch these data; you still can’t discern their quality right now.”

Yi nodded and sat observing the Little Monk work.

Soon, he discovered that the work was actually quite simple.

It was similar to the job of a Pornography Appraiser or an Auditor—

The thought and behavior data of the people below all turned into images, appearing in front of the Little Monk one by one.

The Little Monk then determined whether the data were acceptable or not.

If they were acceptable, they were passed on and uploaded to the Big Buddha; if not, they were deleted on the spot to avoid contaminating the Database.

This job couldn’t be any simpler!

After watching for a while, Yi couldn’t help but observe the other monks around him.

All of them were so focused that they seemed somewhat numb.

The younger ones didn’t show it much, but the older ones had almost lost themselves in the endless data processing over the years, resembling humanoid machines more than people.

They didn’t speak, think, or move; they just kept swiping the screen in front of them, left for acceptable, right for unacceptable, one after another, endlessly.

Yi blinked and felt an overpowering sense of déjà vu…

He could now be sure: those gang members who had become monks must be among these auditors.

And the reason for their sudden conversion must be related to this incubating Buddha.

The easiest way to verify this was to ask the “Buddha himself.”

He found an old man with a white beard and lifeless eyes, who seemed the easiest to bully, grabbed the man’s arm and mouth with one hand, and began to filter data for him with the other.

However, his filtering would not adhere to any principles of Buddhist doctrine, humanity, or great kindness.

Like scrolling through short videos, every few seconds he passed all jokes, beauties, cute pets, and handsome Weapons as acceptable.

After carelessly messing with hundreds of pieces of data, something finally went awry—

A sudden burst of radiant golden light shone from behind the Big Buddha’s head, and the lustrous, gold-toned data surged back along the golden trails, engulfing Yi in an instant!

Yi’s vision was immediately flooded with a multitude of screens!

The thoughts of tens of thousands of people turned into a deafening noise, assaulting his mind; his electronic brain overloaded in an instant, red warning signs filled his sight, only to be forcefully shattered!

Chants of Buddha, resembling the sound of a great bell, carried an infinite number of images rushing towards him, pouring into Yi’s biological Brain!

His brain rapidly heated up, chaotic thoughts raced along each neuron, past Neural Connections were severed, and new neural pathways quickly formed…

The World finally quieted down.

The Brain began functioning again.

Yi opened his mouth wide:

“Ah?”

“Ending??”

“What the hell just ended??!”
