Wasteland Development Diary

Chapter 212: Enlightenment in Prison


"Because you are prone to stealing, I have connected you with the Big Buddha so you can cultivate together. If one day you can fully correct your bad habits, I will let you out," he said.

After hearing such a sentence, Zhi was locked into a deeply dark world.

Only Zhi herself was glowing.

She flew around everywhere but found the world seemed to be endlessly vast, impossible to break through the darkness. No matter how much she stimulated her own light, she could not illuminate this silent space.

Zhi suddenly felt utterly panicked.

This is a prison.

That person locked themselves in this infinite dark prison.

Suddenly, she remembered that the person had mentioned there was a Leshan Buddha here. Finding the Leshan Buddha should clarify the situation.

"Big Buddha, Big Buddha, where are you?"

Zhi began to transmit energy in all directions, turning into blasts of fireworks.

When the Condenser was somewhat exhausted, finally there was a response.

A glowing figure appeared not far away.

The person looked young, human, and rather slim and pale, but emitted a white glow all over, very conspicuous in the darkness.

As he approached, a rope hung around his neck, strangling his throat, the other end reaching up to the sky.

With his hands together in prayer, the rope-necked figure came over, "Zhi, Leshan Buddha, that's me."

Zhi relaxed a little, relieved that she wasn't the only one in this world.

She asked the other person, "What is going on here?"

"This is inside my mechanical body."

The other said, "I have to go now, please wait."

After saying that, the roped-necked man turned and left, vanishing into the darkness.

The Condenser felt somewhat puzzled.

However, soon another glowing shadow approached, this time it was a thorny bird.

It flew to face Zhi.

"What were we just talking about?"

Zhi repeated her question.

"I see, have you been cultivating, Big Buddha Zhi?"

"Cultivating, you mean growing stronger? Yes, but my current state doesn't allow me to grow stronger... Can you cultivate in this condition?"

"It is possible. External life forms attack me, releasing their stress and destructive desires, and I cultivate in this manner."

A scene immediately emerged in Zhi's thoughts.

A huge body stood like Meat Mountain, yet became a target that various lives could freely torment and harm.

She felt chilled to the bone.

The company boss used this to punish the Big Buddha, making it seem like a form of cultivation.

The consciousness field of the Leshan Buddha had been twisted and manipulated!

Zhi hurriedly said, "Calm down a bit, the cultivation you're talking about doesn't exist..."

"Time's up, let the next one talk to you."

Saying so, the thorny bird also flew away.

Then two others came, one was a blind man without eyes, the other a gaunt woman holding a knife.

In unison, they asked, "Where did we leave off just now?"

Zhi was confused, "What's going on with you? Aren't you a single life form, but composed of many individuals?"

The blind one across from her said, "Yes. Big Buddha Zhi, I am made of many conscious individuals. Everyone drifts in this world, each with their own direction and thoughts."

"We are constantly moving," the knife-wielding woman added, "so as we pass by, we stop to find you, but then we must continue moving forward."

Zhi struggled to understand this form.

"But in this way, aren't you completely confused on the self? Each part going its own way... Doesn't this prevent you from locating yourself?"

"We're leaving now."

The two waved goodbye, each heading in a different direction.

After waiting quite a while,

Zhi saw another carrier of the Big Buddha's will.

It was a Red Monster in combat mode, staggering as if about to ignite.

"Why do you have different conscious entity forms?" Zhi didn't understand.

"These are the results of my cultivation."

The Red Monster incarnation of the Big Buddha exhaled a white breath. Although it looked fierce and brutally violent, it spoke reasonably, "By mitigating various life forms' anger and destruction, these parts of consciousness are gradually absorbed by me and become part of myself."

"...Will this not cause you to collapse?"

Zhi felt a bit ominous.

This guy had absorbed various destructive thoughts from the outside, probably on the brink of explosion.

"No need to worry, I have erased the destructive part. They have their own tendencies, so they move and explore in different directions, which is beneficial for expanding my consciousness."

"How can destruction be eradicated?" Zhi expressed her doubts.

"Big Buddha Zhi, you seem well versed in this area."

The other seemed to become cheered up, "As you said, destruction can't be completely eradicated. However, it is also a powerful trait, supporting the operation of these different consciousnesses."

Suddenly the Red Monster threw a punch at Zhi.

Luckily, the Condenser was fast enough to easily dodge.

She felt relieved.

I knew this guy himself wasn't quite right, otherwise he wouldn't have been locked up by that person.

"Sorry, Big Buddha Zhi, the destructive consciousness produces some uncontrollable random movements, because the space here is almost infinitely vast and essentially harmless."

"Sometimes when they interact with each other, they even produce very positive conscious outcomes... I never imagined a real life form could enter inside the body. I'm not very skilled at this control yet."

While fighting and chatting,

Zhi was very concerned about the use of destructive consciousness, continuously flickering to dodge the Red Monster's attacks, "Are you using the properties of destruction to combine and explore new consciousness?"

"Yes. It seems Big Buddha Zhi, you do the same?"
