Chapter 735: Chapter 725: Revival Plan

Wen Wen regarded Wu Liugen with considerable apprehension. The control over "six senses" that he spoke of seemed similar to Illusion Technique, but in reality, it was vastly different.

Illusion Technique directly affects the enemy’s brain, constructing illusions within their consciousness.

However, Wu Liugen’s ability involved manipulating the opponent’s five senses, making them see what Wu Liugen wanted them to see.

One worked from the inside out, and the other from the outside in; it was unclear which was more powerful.

But in the world of superpower users, Illusion Techniques are more common. Most superpower users have their ways to counter them, just like Wen Wen uses the Warehouse Manager’s Badge and his resilient will.

However, controlling the five senses was something Wen Wen had never even heard of before, meaning he could not rely on others’ experiences to counter Wu Liugen’s moves.

From this perspective, Wu Liugen’s ability was indeed terrifying.

Those flying cicadas, being much less intelligent than humans, were essentially controlled by a strand of energy.

If an Illusion Technique wielder were to come, they would not be able to apply the illusions to the brains of such cicadas.

But Wu Liugen could make these cicadas perceive everything as an illusion, causing them to continuously circle around in the room, unable to find Wen Wen and the other two standing in the center.

Wu Liugen stretched his muscles and said to Wen Wen, "We can talk about the transaction later. Could the benefactor first lend me this treasure so I can eradicate these cicadas completely? After all, even my spiritual powers have their limits, and I can’t hold them off for too long."

Wen Wen did not hesitate and threw the Buddha Gatling to him; the moment he took out the Buddha Gatling, he had already planned to give it to Wu Liugen.

With so many cicadas present, even Wen Wen found them troublesome to deal with, and only Wu Liugen’s ability could effectively keep these creatures at bay.

After Wu Liugen received the Buddha Gatling, the entire thing lit up. Characters appeared on each of the six barrels, looking like a golden LED toy gun.

"Wow, golden legend..."

Without a second thought, Wen Wen blurted out a line from a card game.

Wu Liugen placed one hand in front of him and said,

"I pay respects to Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, cleanse the six senses with armor-piercing rounds, three thousand six hundred rotations in a breath, great compassion and mercy to ferry the people..."

"This is indeed a treasure destined for our Buddhism. If every person in our sect had one such instrument, how could Buddhism not flourish?"

Then, holding the Gatling, he unleashed a barrage of fire on the flying cicadas. The gun’s bullets had run out, but the robust strength from within Wu Liugen kept feeding this golden Gatling, allowing it to shoot energy bullets.

Each bullet that struck a target reduced a cicada to bits. If a bullet hit the wall, it blasted a large hole into it.

Wu Liugen’s shooting was not precise, but his spirits were high, and his energy was strong. In about fifteen seconds, the church was turned into ruins. After all, this wasn’t his sacred Buddhist site, so he didn’t mind blasting through the foundation.

The remaining cicadas watched their comrades’ bodies fall, buzzing as they did so, and the last dozen or so cicadas left dejectedly.

Wen Wen looked at the astonishing wreckage, his mouth twitching slightly. The Buddha Gatling in Wu Liugen’s hands was beyond any ordinary firearm category.

Even if he piloted his X Iron Wing, he wouldn’t dare to face an attack from Wu Liugen.

But if Wen Wen were to clash with Wu Liugen, given Wu Liugen’s abilities, it might be impossible to avoid taking a direct hit. However, given Wu Liugen’s character, he would probably ’Eradicate Thoroughly’ before making a move.

"Pardon me for asking, but your Buddhism shouldn’t have a ’Namo Gatling’ Bodhisattva, right?" Wen Wen asked expressionlessly.

Wu Liugen matter-of-factly responded, "Not now, but if more people believe, then there will be. Those Bodhisattvas in the temples, aren’t they all created in this way?"

This guy isn’t devout towards Buddhism!

Wen Wen realized immediately that Wu Liugen probably had no real faith at all.

Thinking about it, it actually made sense—Wen Wen’s understanding of Buddhism was that it absolutely would not engage in actions like "Eradicate Thoroughly."

Moreover, would someone who truly had faith think of infiltrating another sect to acquire advanced experience?

In most sects, merely having such a thought was already heretical.

Indeed, Wen Wen’s speculation was correct; Wu Liugen really had no faith.

Wu Liugen was born radiating Jin Guang, and with innate knowledge, thus the southern Buddhism regarded him as the reincarnation of a living Buddha and worshipped him like a deity.

But Wu Liugen himself knew he was not any living Buddha. His innate knowledge wasn’t due to Buddha and Bodhisattva, so he planned to secretly leave Buddhism once he grew up.

However, during his growth, he learned many things in that temple.

Though the old and young monks had different values from Wu Liugen and some of their ideas seemed quite laughable to him,

they were good people, a genuinely simple group of good people.

Whether the older monks or the younger ones, their greatest hobby was to wander from the mountain, dispelling some demonic beings, or helping people heal, alleviate disasters, and solve difficult problems.

Whenever the topic of whether their actions were worth it came up, they simply smiled without speaking.

Thus, Wu Liugen decided to help them revitalize Buddhism, as a way to repay them for raising him.

As for whether the monks would become corrupt or fall after gaining strength, that wasn’t something Wu Liugen needed to consider.

In Wu Liugen’s view, the reason the Creation God Church could develop and grow strong, while Buddhism was gradually declining,

wasn’t because the deities of Creation God Church were more efficacious than those of Buddhism.

The root cause was that the Creation God Church employed sophisticated and effective propaganda, while Buddhism always kept to its old rules, refusing to change.

That’s why he infiltrated the Creation God Church, to learn advanced experience.

Over the years he learned a lot in the Creation God Church, which essentially amounted to being ruthless, heartless, having strong fists, granting favors, displaying miracles, and confusing people’s hearts.

Being ruthless, heartless, playing mind games, those naive bald monks couldn’t learn, but the others he could try, so when he saw the Buddha Gatling in Wen Wen’s hands, he couldn’t help himself.

What were those Buddhist instruments made by the old monks? Wooden Fish, Beads, Small Iron Basins, Small Iron Rods - the ability of these things to kill someone depended entirely on the strong Buddha Power, not the inherent power of the weapons themselves...

Therefore, he decided to make the Buddha Gatling series of weapons the standard equipment for Buddhism. With combat capabilities, they could collaborate with the Hunters Association. Once they received support from the Hunters Association, Buddhism could rapidly develop and grow strong.

From his observations, the Hunters Association had been upset for a long time seeing the Creation God Church dominating alone.

But other sects were not showing initiative, what Wu Liugen needed to do was to make Buddhism start to show some!

Wu Liugen had targeted the Creation God Church as a hypothetical enemy from the start, and his goal was to develop Buddhism into a gigantic entity that could contend with the Creation God Church!
