Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 538 - 305: Can This Still Be Considered a Faith-Based Civilization? (2)
Wizard Shen Yu believes they will choose the former.
And indeed, that was the case.
When the news reached the ears of the chairman of Al Wu Company, he hardly hesitated.
An undiscovered powerful plane is a unique wealth for these forces.
Only when encountering setbacks, clearly realizing that they cannot achieve their goals alone, would they consider opening it up to let other forces participate.
Usually, they only allow forces of similar stature to join.
This is to gain the greatest possible benefits.
The same is true at this moment.
The Level Eight Wizard chairman of Al Wu Company clearly didn’t truly comprehend what he was about to face.
Instead, he was eager to deploy an elite team to the front of the plane’s coordinates.
He personally saw this enormous hand.
"This must be a kind of plane modification technology." This Level Eight Wizard on the Technology Wizard path clearly perceived more, "The entire hand is divided into two parts, one constantly absorbing, the other endlessly inputting; the whole process is replacing the primordial Extraordinary Power in this plane with the power of this belief system, many belief gods use such methods to strengthen control over their followers."
"Can we see what level it is roughly?" Another Level Eight Wizard beside him asked likewise.
Al Wu Company overall has three Level Eight Wizards. Apart from the founder, one was cultivated by the company over the long years.
The other was recruited.
Not all Wizards create their own forces, after all, establishing a force is not a simple task.
Many not only failed to create their own forces and receive support, but even invested a lot of resources initially and lost everything in the end.
They can only choose to join other forces.
Wizard Shen Yu also has two recruited Level Eight Wizards under his complete covert control.
Clearly, recruited Wizards often have major issues in the face of such significant changes.
For instance, at this moment.
This Level Eight Wizard speaking stared intently at the giant hand, trying to discern what lay behind it but couldn’t see anything.
It already instilled fear in him, prompting a desire to retreat.
Yet the chairman and founder of Al Wu, while staring at that giant hand, had a somewhat profound gaze.
"Incredible, truly incredible technology!" His tone was calm, but his inner feelings were different as he decisively made a bold choice, "Deploy personnel for extensive infiltration!"
Normally, they should dispatch personnel for infiltration.
Instead, they used other methods to probe.
Such as certain magic or equipment.
But clearly, he could no longer wait.
Thus, by his command, multiple Level Seven Wizard exploration teams of Al Wu carefully plunged into this world.
Once again, they witnessed the high platforms, the crowds chanting scriptures.
Moreover, they sensed the sacred aura that emitted powerful light.
"Buddha light shines everywhere." Shen Yu, observing the scene, couldn’t help but sigh, "The teachings of Buddhism, while having positive aspects, indeed possess frightening persuasive power."
He already realized these people seemed unaffected, yet in actuality, they were indeed influenced.
Because the intensity of the Buddha light was terrifying enough.
Even quietly, it could inspire a heart of devotion, growing stronger and stronger.
This was one of Buddha’s methods.
Coming to another world without the intent to spread Buddhism wouldn’t be like Buddha.
"The other part should also play a role." Shen Yu glanced at Wizard Shen Yu.
And returned his gaze to the site.
These exploration Wizards soon noticed other forms appearing in this plane.
Those were groups treading on clouds, dressed entirely differently from Buddhists, with distinctively different atmospheres.
They carried a unique sense of grace.
This scene tightened every exploration Wizard’s hearts.
"Why are there other non-believers entering this Divine Country?"
This seemed like an inconceivable matter.
To most believers, non-believers equate to heretics.
At least, this was how the gods of belief in the Wizard World generally were.
Yet now, no conflict was discernible between the two sides.
In fact, they were highly coordinated.
The newcomers spread atop each tower and then sat down, commencing debate.
Yes, debate.
In the Primordial world, the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism was actually very good.
Despite some contradictions, overall it was indeed very friendly.
This aspect was evident from the Great Tribulation of the West.
The whole Great Tribulation of the West was clearly a collaborative effort between Buddhism and Taoism to mitigate the disaster; many elements were coordinated and pre-discussed.
So, scenes of both parties sitting to discuss doctrines weren’t uncommon.
Even exchanging identities had long been practiced.
For instance, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven was taught by Bodhi Ancestor and originally wore Taoist attire, but ultimately became the Victorious Fighting Saint Buddha.
Similar situations weren’t rare.
Yet evidently, such scenes were immensely shocking to the Wizard Civilization.
Especially as they involuntarily focused on the specific content of the doctrine discussion.
"So this is how it is, this is how it is!"
At a certain moment, an explorer suddenly realized, almost ecstatically opened his hidden ship, and flew out.
Arriving at a certain debating tower, he immediately bowed down to the Buddhist monk.
"Master, I have been enlightened. I wish to put down the butcher knife, transcend the Red Dust. I beg the master to see my sincerity and accept me!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
This Level Seven Wizard truly wanted to devote to Buddhism.
Moreover, Shen Yu could discern this wasn’t merely influenced by the Buddha light.
He was genuinely attracted by the teachings of Buddhism!
"Truly mighty." Shen Yu was amazed.
Not only Buddhism, but some Wizards voluntarily pledged to the Daoist Sect, feeling that Taoism’s philosophy suited them more.
In fact, such individuals were growing.
Until certain people, seemingly in deliberation, abruptly awakened.
Then, in fear, they turned and fled.
They weren’t unmoved, precisely because they sensed inner turmoil, they were genuinely afraid.
After all, their long-held belief was "faith gods are ignorant and pathetic."
Even having felt vulnerability from these substantial Buddhist teachings and Taoist texts, their old beliefs were ultimately hard to break.
And this was within everyone’s plans.
When these exploration Wizards left the plane, returning in front of the company’s army, and began chaotically reporting everything they saw, the impact was imaginable.
"Is there another belief god?"
"Moreover, the followers of both coexist harmoniously?"
"Not directly waging a war of faith, instead purely debating theories?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Is this still a faith-based civilization?"
"..."
Even as the creator of Al Wu Company, this chairman had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessing countless planes subdued by Wizard Civilization, still, at this moment, the situation seemed fantastic.
However, although he slightly couldn’t understand.
But, he had already felt this world’s distinctiveness.
As if the more they explored beneath the surface, the more they realized how vast it was!
