364: Chapter 351 Military Preparations, Target: Mount Ling

Less than ten minutes after Guanyin Bodhisattva departed, the entire Divine Kingdom instantly switched from celebration mode to war mode.

A massive holographic strategic map spread out in the center of the command room, with every Buddhist temple and psionic node in Aparagodaniya marked in red. Especially the Great Leiyin Temple on Spirit Mountain; it was the core of the Buddhist sect's Luck, currently enveloped in a thick layer of golden light representing the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Array."

"Divine Lord, Spirit Mountain won't be easy to take."

Erlang Shen changed into a set of black special operations armor and pointed at the map to analyze. "Their tactics are extremely insidious. Spirit Mountain is covered by a 'Sanskrit Sound Magnetic Field' with an incredibly strange frequency. Once we get close, the brainwaves of our soldiers will be interfered with, causing hallucinations and even suicidal feelings of guilt. Many people will start thinking, 'Why am I fighting? Life is so tiring, I want to become a monk,' even before they open fire. This is what you call a spiritual dimensional reduction strike."

"Furthermore," Erlang Shen's expression was grave, "that old man Tathagata cultivates the 'Power Of Faith.' As long as there are still believers chanting sutras in Aparagodaniya, his power is almost infinite."

Nezha sat nearby sharpening his Fire-Tipped Spear, grumbling, "I hate those bald donkeys' preaching the most. The moment they open their mouths, it's 'Benefactor, you are fated with me,' and then they start buzzing, giving me a headache. Boss, can our Star Destroyers block this kind of brainwashing?"

Lin Feng sat in the command chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, a mocking smirk on his face.

"Spiritual pollution? Playing these kinds of tricks with me... they're still living in the Middle Ages."

"System, don't play dead. Bring out all the 'Anti-Feudalism Gift Packs' we saved up. Today, I'm going to give Spirit Mountain a 'Scientific Baptism'."

[Ding! Host's combat intent detected. The System Mall has filtered out the 'Cyber Demon-Subduing Set' for you.]

With a swish, the list popped up.

Lin Feng waved his hand grandly. "Exchange them all! Give me a hundred thousand sets of each first, put it on Tathagata's tab (we're going to loot it anyway)."

A pile of bizarre-looking equipment appeared out of thin air on the conference table.

Lin Feng picked up a pair of pitch-black sunglasses with red scanning rays on the sides and tossed them to Erlang Shen.

"These are called 'Anti-Buddha-Light Dynamic Recognition Sunglasses.' They have a built-in AI for real-time spectral correction. Tathagata's group loves using 'Golden Light Body Protection,' which is actually just high-frequency light wave interference. Wear these, and all that Buddha-light will look like ordinary light pollution to you; you'll even be able to see exactly what Materials their golden bodies are plated with. Most importantly, they filter out all visual suggestions. Looking at a Bodhisattva will be like looking at an old lady, and looking at an Arhat will be like looking at a bald donkey."

Erlang Shen tried them on, a hint of surprise appearing on his cold face. "Indeed, the world is quiet now."

Next, Lin Feng held up an electronic device that looked like a wooden fish but was covered in various antennas and indicator lights.

"This is the 'Quantum Entanglement Interference Wooden Fish' I specifically prepared for them."

Lin Feng tapped it with a cold laugh. The sound it made wasn't a "thump," but a highly piercing electronic sound—"Zzzzt—!"

"This little gadget will automatically capture the frequency of Spirit Mountain's Sanskrit sounds and then emit anti-phase sound waves to counter them. If Tathagata chants a sutra, this wooden fish will automatically gift him a 'Social Shake' rhythm. As long as this thing is around, their salvation mantras will sound like out-of-tune EDM, making brainwashing impossible."

Lin Feng pointed at the boxes and boxes of "Bose Supreme Noise-Canceling Buds" behind him.

"All soldiers, one pair each. Lock the channel to the Tiance Mansion strategic song library. We're not listening to sutras; we're listening to the 'Great Compassion Mantra (DJ Speed Version)' and 'Good Luck Is Coming.' Since they want to set the mood, we'll be even livelier than them."

Once the equipment was distributed, it was time for the final strategic deployment.

"Nezha!"

"Here!"

"You are the commander of the vanguard. Lead your Red Lotus Mechanical Battalion and charge at the very front. Remember, don't waste words with them. As long as you see a glowing bald head, open fire immediately. Your Gatling guns are loaded with 'Dharma-Extinguishing Special Rounds,' specifically designed to break golden bodies."

"Understood! I'll make sure to turn them into sieves!"

"Ao Bing!"

"Present!"

"Take the Divine Dragon Fleet on the high-altitude route. Spirit Mountain likes to do things like 'flowers falling from the sky' and 'golden lotuses springing from the earth.' You give me 'carpet bombing.' Wherever Buddha-light pops up, drop 'Gravity Suppression Bombs.' I want Spirit Mountain turned into a plain."

"By your command, Divine Lord!"

"Erlang Shen, take the special ops snipers and look for Tathagata's senior Disciples on the flanks, especially that Jin Chanzi—he's the hope of Spirit Mountain. Once you see him making a move to chant, blow his head off immediately. Don't give him a chance to open his mouth."

With the deployment finished, Lin Feng stood up and slowly put on his black commander sunglasses.

Outside the window, the engines of a hundred Star Destroyers were already preheated, their ethereal blue glow illuminating the Divine Kingdom's plaza. A hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals stood in neat formation, wearing sunglasses, noise-canceling buds in their ears, and holding sci-fi psionic rifles. They looked like a group of interstellar mercenaries ready to plunder a planet.

"Everyone."

Lin Feng's voice rang out in the communication channel, carrying a hint of madness and determination.

"The so-called gods and Buddhas filling the sky are nothing more than a group of 'transcendent beings' who have mastered Advanced energy usage. They use the fear and ignorance of all living beings to construct this hypocritical paradise. Today, we're going to tear away that fig leaf."

"Set out! Target: Western Heaven, Spirit Mountain!"

"Rumble—!"

The clouds shattered, and the Void Realm trembled. The massive fleet pierced the sky, heading toward that golden Western Heaven with the roar of steel.

Lin Feng sat in the main seat of the flagship, fiddling with the quantum wooden fish, his gaze deep.

"Tathagata, is your front door locked tight? We're coming for a forced demolition."
