The Omniscient

Chapter 70: Sandbox Universe

"A virtual universe?" Lin Li was stunned.

So the ultimate pursuit of Buddhism was actually a virtual world?

If the Dao couldn't be attained in reality, then abandon the effort and turn back.

Even Earth's civilization, as its network technology developed to a certain extent, began considering ideas like consciousness uploading. How much more advanced would an alien civilization be?

As long as the technology was sufficiently advanced, creating a virtual world indistinguishable from reality would be entirely possible.

Huang Ji explained, "Seeking Dao is the pursuit of the universal reality's natural laws, but Buddhism is about lowering a dimension and attaining 'emptiness' as the supreme truth."

"To put it bluntly, living in your own world and mastering a set of rules inherently inferior to your own level."

"Thus, in the palm of the Buddha exists a nation—countless worlds, everything one could desire."
