Chapter 259: The World is Just a Dream
"The God Alliance, composed of Planetary Beings, intends to carry out a second modification on humanity, which is the origin of the New World Order. The Cyborgs have harbored resentment towards the rulers of Earth; they do not want to be controlled by others, they want to be their own masters! Earth is the birthplace of humanity, so why should it be under the control of outsiders? As a result, unsuspecting ordinary humans have become pawns in this conflict.
The modification of humanity aims to create high-energy pureblood humans based on the template of Indigo Children. These individuals possess a stronger Sixth Sense and their way of thinking closely resembles that of the planetary rulers; however, they lack the ability to resist control. The planetary rulers need a superior type of human to emerge—one with powerful thoughts and exceptional abilities, infinitely closer to the planetary rulers!
At this moment, the Cyborgs learned of the Planetary Beings' plan, and thus, they decided to break the deadlock!
They began to spread a large amount of erroneous knowledge, causing human consciousness to decline and spiritual intelligence to diminish, preventing them from reaching the experimental goals desired by the Planetary Beings.
The Cyborgs hope to disrupt all plans set by the Planetary Beings; they want to go against fate and take control themselves, while humanity seems completely unaware."
"Exactly!" I continued, "At that time we believed that the God Alliance was evil and the Demon Clan was just. However, after so many events, for those of us who do not know the true reality, who is right and who is wrong is entirely subjective imagination. This is very tragic; I feel like we have always been led by others. Whether it's the God Alliance or Qinglong, who among them is lying? This is what we are most concerned about now!"
"Oh? You actually suspect that Qinglong, also known as the Demon Clan, is not a good person? Hahaha~" Bai Gu Fei laughed without restraint. After laughing for a while, he said, "However, your speculation is indeed not far from what we think; you are truly impressive!"
"Exactly! Old Feng, if you had brought your precious son out earlier, we wouldn't have taken so many unnecessary detours!" Xiao Zian said with dissatisfaction while glancing at my dad.
"Oh right, there's one more thing!" I said as I took out the video given to me by Divine Hand once again. Seeing that it was about to run out of battery, I changed the batteries while saying, "There’s a video inside that Divine Hand gave me; I wonder if you all have seen it."
Upon hearing the name Divine Hand, Xiao Zian's smile turned somewhat strange as he suddenly realized, "That kid indeed has some real skills."
As the conversation continued, the battery had already been replaced, and the video began to play.
This was already the third time I had watched this short video, and each time it left me feeling somewhat unsettled. Time passed slowly, and my dad and the others showed little change in their expressions. Lime opened his eyes after hearing the sound, indicating he was listening.
"So do you think what is said inside refers to the God Alliance or the Azure Dragon?" Bai Gu Fei asked.
Although Bai Gu Fei didn't state it outright, we all understood what he meant. I replied, "If I had seen this video shortly after I joined the Path, I would have thought that the God Alliance was controlling the entire world from behind the scenes. But now, I'm not so sure. What do you think?"
"The Demon Clan," my dad said.
"Right, this Demon Clan presents itself as a force for good and hasn't really done anything evil, but I still feel there's something off about them. Of course, I'm not saying the God Alliance is without issues; neither side is innocent!" Bai Gu Fei added.
Xianxian made a couple of clicking sounds and asked, "So how many clues do you actually have? We’ve shared everything; you can't keep anything hidden!"
"Of course," Xiao Zian chuckled, then looked at us with shining eyes and said, "But before we speak, your worldview needs a complete overhaul; otherwise, our upcoming discussion will be meaningless."
"Okay, go ahead," Xianxian said readily.
"First, let me ask you a fundamental question. The Buddha said: 'Life is like a dream!' In the Buddhist classic Heart Sutra, it states: 'Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita, sees that all five aggregates are empty and overcomes all suffering. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness; emptiness is not different from form. Form is exactly emptiness; emptiness is exactly form. The same applies to feelings, perceptions, formations, and consciousness...
Therefore, there is no form in emptiness; no feelings, perceptions, formations, or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, or phenomena; no eye realm up to and including no consciousness realm; no ignorance and also no end to ignorance; up to and including no aging and death and also no end to aging and death; no suffering, accumulation, cessation or path; no wisdom and also no attainment because there is nothing to attain...'
What do you think the Buddha is trying to convey to us with such obscure language?"
I thought for a moment about what was said: "When one practices deep Prajna Paramita, one sees that the five aggregates are empty, transcending all suffering." Sariputra, this is completely incomprehensible. I'm not a Buddhist, so why suddenly bring up the scriptures? Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask about it. Instead, I said, "Brother Xiao, just tell us what it means! It’s not like I learned classical Chinese from a math teacher!"
"Haha." Seeing that both I and Xianxian were stunned by his obscure words, Xiao Zian seemed to be in a good mood as he laughed and said, "What it means is that life is an illusion, we as individuals are also illusions, and the world we live in is likewise an illusion. The world we perceive is actually like a grand dream of life." Many who do not understand Buddhist principles or lack knowledge of Spatial Physics would find it amusing and say, "This world is a tangible material world; how can it be an illusion?"
"Yeah, how can it be an illusion? Although I feel this world is too fake, we are all real..." I still found it hard to believe that we could all be illusions.
"Exactly. So the question arises: why did Buddha say this? If you think back carefully to a clear dream from last night or some time before, you felt very real in that dream. In the dream, you experienced all the flavors of life—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy; you hardly doubted your own reality. You would feel distressed over losing money; you would be sad after arguing with a loved one; you might fight or even kill out of hatred; you would be excited if you won five million... All these feelings are quite similar to those in our real lives. However, when you wake up from that dream, you realize, oh—so it was just a dream..."
"So, the real world is nothing but an illusory dream!"
