Chapter 272
In short, at that moment, accompanied by the faint sound of grand and solemn chanting, there were countless Sanskrit chants coming from all directions. With the light of the Buddha, the light was boundless, which quickly calmed the horror in the hearts of the Buddhas in Lingshan—
Then, the Buddha’s sight returned to the five pillars at the end of the earth in the distance. How should I put it, there is a subtlety in the heart of the Buddha at the moment.
Apparently, Hakoniwa Buddha had realized what that was!
——And soon, Hakoniwa Buddha seemed to have discovered something again.
Because at this moment, the Buddha discovered that outside the atmosphere of Hakoya, which was several light-years high, two huge stars suddenly appeared.
However, if you take a closer look, where are the two stars above the sky, they are clearly a pair of huge pupils.
The pair of huge pupils seemed to overlook the world from an infinite distance. The Buddha could even vaguely see that the calm pupils overlooking the world were looking at him.
In this regard, the Buddha could only smile bitterly, and then the truth of the pillars that appeared at the end of the line of sight also began to be revealed. They were clearly five white fingers of different lengths… This is true and a certain Journey to the West. It’s a canon!
——Obviously, at this moment, the entire Mount Sumeru is held in the palm of the hand by the God of Science.
Magnificent, vast, incredible, unimaginable… There are many words that describe this scene. What if, in front of this infinitely magnificent power, everything is so insignificant that it is impossible to form a contrast.
——As the saying goes, Naxumi is a mustard seed, and the sun and moon are placed in a pot.

“…Wait, what exactly happened!”
As a bystander, Emperor Shitian, who had just arrived at Mount Sumeru not long ago, witnessed the terrifying scene of Mount Sumeru disappearing with his own eyes.
No one knew the impact of Di Shitian’s heart at this moment.
But as we all know, Di Shitian’s history is known to everyone. He was originally a Hindu god, and earlier he was a Zoroastrian, responsible for lightning and battle, and then he entered Buddhism as a Dharma protector.
In Sanskrit, Shakya means “capable, capable”; Deva means “heaven, man, god”; Indra means “king, conqueror, and most victorious”, whose full name is Shatihuan Indra The meaning is “the one who can be the master of the gods in the heavens”, that is, “Neng Tiandi” or “Shatiandi”, also known as Indra, Kaushika, Sapo, Thousand Eyes, etc. When translating Sanskrit into Chinese, in order to conform to the Chinese word order, the original word order is reversed, and it is translated as “Di Shitian”.
According to the various scriptures, in the “Vedas” era, he was the **** of war who held a vajra, rode a white elephant, and threw thunder and lightning. After Buddhism was introduced to China, some temples made statues of young emperors, men and women; some The portrait of a young woman is accompanied by three maids. From the Vedas to the Buddhist era, the person who embodied the godhead of Indra.
According to legend, after Emperor Shitian entered Buddhism, his image usually took the form of a heaven and a human, riding a white elephant, holding a three-cobalt pestle in his right hand and placing his left hand on his crotch. Wearing a pendant, holding a vajra, and riding a white elephant with six tusks, in mythology, it is said that Emperor Shitian lived in Mount Sumeru, surrounded by all the gods and his relatives.
Of course, this is also a myth. Everyone knows that Emperor Hakoten is still in charge of the Heavenly Army of the Wushen Group, so he is not usually in Mount Sumeru.
Only occasionally does Emperor Shitian return to Mount Sumeru, that is, Lingshan Mountain to report his duties, but Emperor Shitian did not expect that he would see such an explosive thing today.
“…Where did Mount Sumeru go?”
In theory, as a three-digit powerhouse, Emperor Shitian, whose strength is equivalent to Mei who first entered the Hakoten period, just couldn’t understand how Mount Sumeru just disappeared under his nose.
But it is also understandable, because although it was not clearly stated before, in fact, Mount Sumeru was reduced by Mei using scientific means, that is, a certain theory of Einstein’s theory of relativity was reduced in space, so the genius of Emperor Shi did not notice anything, because May doesn’t need such a backward thing as Lingge at all.
It has been said many times that Mei’s method is science. After all, Mei is the **** of science.
Just like the four mythical beasts of physics mentioned earlier, it can also be turned into power in Mei’s hands.
Lorenz’s butterfly theory, in May’s hands, enables May to grasp whether the butterfly effect occurs or not.
Shakespeare’s monkey theory, in Mei’s hands, enables Mei to create infinite possibilities in the light cone of time and space;
Einstein’s theory of relativity allows Mei to master the ultimate mystery of time and space, and also allows Mei to directly shrink Mount Meru.
………………
………………
The point of view is back to Mei’s side.
In other words, at this time, Mei was not unaware of Di Shitian’s arrival.
It’s just that Mei cares more about another existence than Di Shitian.
“…Donor, this first game is considered to be a loss for my Buddhism, so whether we can put down Mount Sumeru, we don’t want to cause trouble in the pure land of Buddhism.”
And the Buddha obviously felt something, but the Buddha of the small garden has not yet been able to afford to lose.
… It was outside where the original Mount Sumeru was. Seeing the arrival of the world dragon, Di Shitian went up to greet him.
That’s right, at this moment, another two-digit number from the world dragon, Hakoba, which I mentioned before, is here.
I have to say that this time is just right. It seems that there is indeed some special connection between the world dragon and the Buddha.
At this moment, a silver-white dragon appeared in the atmosphere of Little Garden.
If you look closely, the silver-white giant dragon is only a scale that is comparable to the size of a mountain, and this mountain is not an ordinary mountain, at least a mountain at the level of Mount Everest.
But at this moment, the silver-white dragon radiated dazzling light from all over.
“…Wuhu! Landed, cute stars collide!”
The next second, accompanied by a lovely voice.
I saw that the law of conservation of matter was completely ignored, and the silver-white dragon began to rapidly shrink.
That’s the simultaneous change of mass, size, existence.
The light quickly collapsed.
In just a few short moments, the silver-white giant dragon that originally covered the sky disappeared without a trace.
It turned out that the light gradually turned into a human shape.
“…Your Majesty.”
Seeing this, Di Shitian also quickly walked towards the human figure.
Returning to the world dragon, as the name suggests, the human figure transformed by the world dragon has long silver hair that shines like the sun.
Yes, if Kevin’s long silver hair is reminiscent of moonlight, this one’s silver hair can make people feel the sun.
In addition, ordinary, quaint and petite dragon horns are bundled on both sides of the world dragon’s hair. Different from the age of the appearance, the people of the world dragon have a beautiful and neat appearance, and a noble temperament.
The silky smooth skin and the tender limbs that are still developing do not affect the charm of the world dragon.
That’s right, the human form that World Dragon transforms into, looks like a Loli, and World Dragon seems to have turned into World Loli for a while.
But so what, the preference of the strong is not something that the weak can question.
………………
………………
Rules have always been used to constrain subordinates.
No matter where, the higher the status, the smaller the constraints.
Like Emperor Shitian, he would not point fingers at the humanoid appearance of the world dragon.
“No, Your Majesty, Mount Sumeru seems to have suddenly disappeared!”
At this moment, Di Shitian just told the world dragon what happened before, and wanted to seek help from the world dragon.
However, this time, a dramatic scene came.
“Mt. Sumeru, isn’t it there?”
But I saw that at this moment, the world Luo suddenly pointed at Di Shitian’s back.
“what?”
And the meaning contained in the words made Di Shitian suddenly widen his eyes.
At this moment, Di Shitian suddenly turned his head and found that Mount Sumeru was standing in place, as if it had never left.
But how is this possible?
Although his emperor Shitian is tens of thousands of years old, he is not old and confused.
Taking a step back, although the lower-level flower street has indeed been frequented recently, Di Shitian didn’t feel that he was dazzling.
“Looks like something interesting has happened!”
At the same time, not to mention how skeptical Di Shitian is about life, the world dragon is keenly aware that something interesting has happened at this moment.
So, the world dragon Loli set her sights on Mount Sumeru.
Just at this moment, the second round of competition between Mei and Buddha began, and this time it was Mei’s turn to ask questions.
………………
………………
Speaking of which, Mei is indeed very interested in the wisdom of Buddha.
Although, it seems that it has been confirmed that Mei’s billions of wisdom are better than the false immeasurable wisdom of the Buddha.
But in any case, Mei also felt that the other party’s wisdom had many shining points.
Because unlike Mei’s wisdom, Hakoniwa Buddha’s wisdom is an extraordinary wisdom that belongs to the philosophical universe.
Philosophy (φιλοσοφ?α) means “seeking wisdom” according to its Greek etymology.
Just as the English philosopher Russell said: Philosophy is something between theology and science. Like theology, it contains human beings’ thinking about things that are so far unsure of scientific knowledge; it is like science. It appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether traditional or revelation.
All exact knowledge (in Russell’s view) belongs to science; all dogma that involves beyond exact knowledge belongs to theology. Between theology and science there is a no-man’s land attacked by both sides, and this no-man’s land is philosophy.
Another example is Hegel’s view: Philosophy is a special kind of thinking movement, and philosophy is the pursuit of the absolute. “Philosophy takes the absolute as its object, it is a special way of thinking”
Einstein spoke of philosophy this way: If science is understood as the pursuit of knowledge in its most general and broadest form, then philosophy can obviously be considered the mother of all sciences.
[Philosophy has fallen behind in modern times, but it is not without merit. 】
However, May also began to think about the history of the development of philosophy.
In general, metaphysical thinking is the essence of philosophical development.
In primitive society, people did not understand various natural phenomena. Natural phenomena such as thunder, lightning and flash floods aroused people’s exploration and understanding of nature and themselves. This is the early embryonic form of religion. It can be said that in this Period, philosophy explained the existence of religious forms. A worldview is a general understanding of universal basic issues such as the nature of the world, the fundamental laws of development, and the fundamental relationship between human thinking and existence.
Philosophy originated in the ancient slavery period when social productive forces made great progress. At that time, the development of social economy promoted the great improvement of people’s cognition ability. People began to think about theoretical issues such as the nature of the world, and early human philosophical thought appeared.
In ancient times, the objects of philosophical research were complex, ranging from astronomy to geography. All kinds of problems that can give people wisdom and make people smart are the objects of philosophy. The objects of philosophical research in this period included specific scientific objects, and philosophy and science were integrated.
By the mid-slave society, specific sciences such as mathematics, astronomy, and medicine had become an independent science, differentiated from philosophy. The object of study of philosophy has been narrowed and embodied, and various specific philosophical disciplines have been formed within philosophy: ontology, epistemology, and logic.
With the establishment of capitalism, modern positive science emerged, and various specific sciences became independent from philosophy and achieved rapid development. Philosophy shrunk again, but in any case, until modern times, philosophy still has a place in it.
Chapter 413: The Twilight Goddess Mary
In modern human history, seriously speaking, the so-called ideology is also a kind of philosophy.
“Modern Western Philosophy School” refers to various philosophical schools popular in the West after the emergence of Marxist philosophy, which is the continuation of modern Western philosophy.
But May believes that philosophy can be divided into two basic schools of “materialism” and “idealism”:
The so-called materialism: that is, it advocates that the origin of the world can be attributed to matter, that matter is primary, and consciousness is secondary, and that consciousness is the product of matter. Specifically, it is divided into ancient naive materialism, modern metaphysical materialism and dialectical materialism. This school of philosophy has always emphasized sensory cognition and rational reasoning and objective evidence.
Idealism, on the other hand, attributes the origin of the world to spirit, and advocates the primary nature of consciousness, ideas (laws), etc., and the secondary nature of matter, which is the product of consciousness. Idealism is very complex and can be roughly divided into two categories: subjective idealism and objective idealism. Subjective idealism advocates the primacy of individual consciousness, and objective idealism advocates the primacy of object consciousness.
[Human history is from idealism to materialism, from agnosticism to the world of knowledgeableness! 】
Here, May’s idea is already obvious.
You know, knowlism: that is, the belief that the world can be cognition, that people can fully understand the world by means of sense organs and their extensions (scientific instruments), and the part that has not been known is only due to the underdevelopment of technology, and people can fully understand the world. Knowing the world is inevitable.
Agnosticism: On the contrary, people think that the world cannot be known or can not be fully known, and the not fully known here is not “not yet known”, but refers to some part or a certain part of the world. At these levels, humans will never know the truth. “Conceptual world” is a concept that cannot be ignored when studying agnosticism.
—- In general, May doesn’t like agnosticism!
[Agnosticism, it is easy to lead humans astray! 】
In other words, doesn’t this kind of thing often happen, for example, people in a certain era always feel that this era has reached the limit of a certain scientific field.
For example, in Newton’s time, after Newton’s death, some people felt that classical physics was exhausted.
But in fact, is it really so?
Indeed, Newton was a great man!
But some of his theories have not been overthrown in later generations.
There are many similar examples. In every era, there are always people who feel that their era has come to the end of a certain field.
“Unfortunately, I still prefer Nietzsche’s superhuman philosophy!”
But the reality is that no matter how great the existence is, it will absorb the wisdom of others.
This is the case with Mei. For philosophy, Mei does not underestimate anything. Even when she was at Qianyu Academy a long time ago, Mei would read Nietzsche’s philosophy in her spare time.
“Excellent wisdom is worth learning.”
At this moment, in Mei’s view, the Buddha of Hakoten is wise.
