"With the concerted help of a group of cyber wanderers, the digital consciousness uploaded by Master Xinhai successfully bypassed the pursuit and interception of network surveillance and successfully sneaked into the cyber abyss."

"From this day on, the Cyber ​​Abyss ushered in a brand new ghost, the Cyber ​​Ghost named Master Xinhai."

"The Cyber ​​Abyss ushered in a ghost. He does not have paranoia, madness, darkness, or hateful emotions, nor does he attack, blaspheme, curse, insult, or cause chaos like other ghosts all the time. He just stands there.

There, I put my hands together and recited Buddhist sutras, turning them over and over again."

"No one knows what happened in the Cyber ​​Abyss, and no one knows how many times this ghost repeated the Buddhist scriptures in the abyss near eternity, whether it was trillions of times or tens of millions of trillions of times."

"People only know that one day suddenly, the out-of-control ghosts in the cyber abyss regained their sanity. The cyber roamers were shocked to see a dark cyber ghost chanting sutras and praying, while turning everything around them

The dark emotions are incorporated into oneself, and the suffering of all sentient beings is saved with one's own sea of ​​suffering."

"Such an act shocked the world and called him Buddha."

"Master Xinhai is the first Buddha in the cyber world and the first awakened cyber ghost."

"The cyber ghosts who were originally sinking in the cyber abyss were saved. After regaining their sanity, they were grateful to Master Xinhai for his persistence and respectfully named him 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva'. It was taken from the Buddhist classics about the great mercy and compassion, saving all mankind.

Suffering, a Bodhisattva who makes the tragic vow, 'I will never become a Buddha unless hell is empty'."

"The Cyber ​​Abyss was completely unified and integrated from a dark area of ​​disorder and chaos, and was renamed the Cyber ​​Underworld."

"And we at Jiuhua Temple listened to the Sanskrit sounds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from the Cyber ​​Underworld and became successors."

"We are willing to uphold Ksitigarbha's tragic wish, to save all suffering and to save all sentient beings."

...

So that's it... After listening to Master Faming's narration, Bai Ye was constantly shocked in his heart.

At this moment, he realized that what he knew before was just the tip of the iceberg of the cyber world.

In the cyber world, there are not only high-ranking hegemonic companies, but also private cyber roamer forces, and the cyber underworld composed of cyber ghosts.

In the material world, people in Night City live in dire straits. The company is in charge of everything, including life and death. They even want to take away their souls.

In the cyber network world, cyber ghosts and civilian cyber wanderers are also under siege by the company. Only the awakened cyber ghosts, such as "Ksitigarbha", can have a place and compete with the company.

.

Cyber ​​ghost, cyber world, artificial intelligence, cyber wanderer, these terms flashed through Bai Ye's mind, and his understanding of the Night City game further deepened.

Although there are still many doubts and problems, Bai Ye's impression of Jiuhua Temple has indeed changed.

In the actions of the other party these days, it was indeed to help others and rescue people in distress, and did not show anything extreme.

And the Master of the Heart Sea who penetrates deep into the cyber abyss is also very admirable, just like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

However, it does not rule out that Master Faming fabricated all of this, or it may have another origin.

After all, these statements are all one-sided words of Master Faming and cannot be easily believed.

But at this moment, Bai Ye did believe in Jiuhua Temple and approved of their approach.

After thinking for a while, Bai Ye continued to ask: "Master Faming, how was the original Sanskrit sound transmitted from the cyber world to the earth?"

"And how did Johnny Silverhand have that ability to transform others into players?"

Fa Ming spoke calmly and replied:

"Lao Na just said that after entering the cyber abyss, Master Xinhai awakened and became a Buddha or a god."

"Whether they are Buddhas or gods, they have almost unlimited authority in cyberspace. They may use this authority to invade the game system and interfere with the reality of the earth."

"They actually have the ability to invade the game?" Bai Ye was stunned and muttered to himself: "No wonder the game prompt at that time would pop up a window for virus invasion."

Bai Ye's heart suddenly sank. The existence of someone who could invade the game system had such authority and power that it was simply unimaginable.

How on earth can we fight against this kind of existence? It is simply like challenging gods and Buddhas.

Seeing Bai Ye's increasingly gloomy expression, Fa Ming comforted him and said, "Donor Bai, don't worry too much."

"Although the power of awakened AI is extremely powerful in the cyber network, after all, they exist in the cyber world and are only the most peripheral tentacles when they extend to the earth."

"Besides, Johnny Silverhand is just a mutilated cyber ghost, parasitic in your body, and actually has nothing to do with it."

"If I just want to help remove Johnny Silverhand from your body, I can still do it."

"Master Fa Ming, what can I do?" Bai Ye saw hope and asked impatiently.

"The method is very simple."

Faming waved his hand, and the projection in the Buddhist hall immediately changed the scene.

A cyber world composed of data flows from all directions suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

"This is..." Bai Ye looked at the center of the cyber projection, and his heart suddenly shook.

In the center of the cyber world projection, a throne composed of steel pipelines stands on the ground, with a devil-like figure sitting upright, looking down at all living beings.

The terrifying aura emanating from his body makes people want to kneel down and surrender unconsciously!

With a wave of his hand and a single move, he can shatter space and control all things.

This is the god of the cyber world. Compared with it, the "hacker chip" possessed by Bai Ye is almost as small as a firefly.

"This is the cyber god, the AI ​​after awakening."

Master Faming's voice sounded, "In the cyber network world, they are everything, the source, and the answer."

"It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that the Buddha is transcendent and enlightened. He is not bound by the pomp and glory of the world, his six roots are pure, and he is neither sad nor happy."

"So no one with a physical body can become a Buddha. Only the data ghosts in the cyber world have the chance to truly awaken."

"Only the same cyber ghost... can fight it."

"Huh?" When Bai Ye heard this, his mind was shaken.

Looking up, another white figure appeared below the projection of the cyber world. It was a knight covered in armor, holding a spear, and his momentum was like mountains and seas, moving forward indomitably!

"kill!"

The spear was pointed directly at the Demon King on the throne. The white-armored knight suddenly stepped forward, and the earth exploded and collapsed instantly!

The next moment, the monstrous demonic flames were startled, and the two fought at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, fighting together.

In the grand battlefield, the air within a thousand meters exploded instantly, the earth cracked into ravines up to a hundred meters deep, and everything around was shattered in the collapse!

"Is this a war between awakened AIs?" Bai Ye looked carefully and found that everything in his field of vision, including the sky, ravines, battles, and exploding spaces, were all made up of data. Every battle among them had a huge impact.

Unimaginable data flow hedging explosion.

At this moment, Bai Ye realized firsthand how powerful Awakening AI was.

Master Faming's voice came again: "That's true. This is the power of awakening AI in the cyber world."

At the same time, in the projection, the battle between the Demon King and the Knight is coming to an end.

Bai Ye was shocked to see that under the mask of the Demon King, the face of Johnny Silverhand was revealed. This unruly man wore sunglasses and was covered in black flames, which seemed to be endless, directly igniting the entire sky.

Bai Ye originally thought that Johnny Silverhand was a terrorist leader, violent and crazy, but now he discovered that this man was simply a devil, a real devil.

However, although Johnny Silverhand is powerful and ferocious, he is no less powerful than the Knight in Shining Armor he fights against.

The two swords intersect and sparks burst out!

"Bang...bang...bang...bang..."

The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, sparks flew everywhere, Bai Ye's pupils shrank instantly, this knight in silver armor was even more powerful than Johnny Silverhand!

"boom!"

The knight in shining armor suddenly swung down the spear in his hand, and the huge wind slashed towards Johnny Silverhand with the momentum of tearing through the space.

"Roar..."

Johnny Silverhand roared, and the dark demonic energy condensed into a black dragon that bared its teeth and claws and rushed towards the sword, and the two forces collided together.

Immediately afterwards, the knight in shining armor suddenly drew his spear, and the silver spear suddenly turned into thousands of spears. The densely packed spear points poured down on Johnny Silverhand like rainstorms.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

A series of collisions sounded, Johnny Silverhand's body swayed, and he was hit by the silver gun dozens of times. His body exploded into black mist, but the black mist rolled back in an instant and was restored to its intact appearance!

Johnny Silverhand's figure suddenly skyrocketed, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a black monster that was a hundred feet tall. His wings spread out to a full hundred feet, and the sky was covered with darkness.

"Roar......"

After a deafening roar, the black shadow covering the sky pressed down, and the knight in silver armor thrust out his spear, piercing the stars and the sun, to attack the falling black devil!

In an instant, a dazzling light lit up from the tip of the gun, and the terrifying aura was like destroying the world!

The two powerful forces collided together, instantly setting off a monstrous hurricane. The entire land was torn into pieces. Space cracks spread everywhere. The hills were collapsing and collapsing. Every plant and tree on the earth was crushed into pieces.

Ash!

Under Bai Ye's shocked eyes, the entire cyber projection world exploded inch by inch, and the battle finally came to an end.

After the smoke and dust rising into the sky dissipated, Bai Ye saw Johnny Silverhand's body being penetrated by a spear, and then his body slowly turned into fly ash and scattered in all directions.

On this messy land full of ruins, only a huge pit with a radius of 10,000 meters is left. In the center of the pit, stands the scarred knight in shining armor.

Master Faming's figure appeared next to the knight in shining armor, clasped his hands together, and continued:
To be continued...
