The Amazing son in law Chapter 7834
Wu Bolin nodded and instructed, “You must be extra careful when you enter the world this time. It is said that a certain earl was blown to pieces by close-in weapon systems. That thing can chase after people and is not only as fast as lightning, but it can also predict your trajectory. Before you even arrive, it will fire dozens or even hundreds of shells toward where you are going. There is no way to defend against this kind of thing.”
The two nodded vigorously.
In fact, the more the three of them learned about modern society, the greater their sense of disillusionment became.
Wu Bolin murmured with a sigh: “To be honest, before I went into seclusion, I thought that after I came out, I would be able to roam the world without fear. I never expected that in the past hundred years, although our cultivation has improved a lot, the world has improved even more. Think about it, a hundred years ago, a cannonball could only destroy a small boat or a house at most. But in 1945, 80 years ago, an atomic bomb could destroy a city. Fifteen or sixteen years later, a Soviet hydrogen bomb was equivalent to two or three thousand of those nuclear bombs from 1945. It is said that this was a castrated version they made because they were afraid that the power would be too great, and the power was only 30% of the original plan…”
At this point, Wu Bolin retorted, “You tell me, in the face of such a world-destroying weapon, what the hell are cultivators? Even before the end of the Dharma era, if all the cultivators from all the sects were gathered together, after one hydrogen bomb, let alone anyone surviving, having a whole corpse would be considered a sign of their extraordinary cultivation.”
Wu Bowen chuckled and said, “Perhaps those ascended cultivators can also destroy the heavens and the earth, but we were born at the wrong time. In this Dharma-ending Age, we will never be able to cultivate to the day when we transcend tribulation and ascend.”
Wu Bolin countered by asking the two, “What do you think ascension was before the Dharma-ending Age?”
Wu Bowen said, “What else could it be? Just like the Western Paradise that Buddha talked about, you go directly to another world.”
Wu Bolin then asked another question: “Where is the other world after ascension?”
Wu Bowen spread his hands: “Who knows? We’ve never been there. Maybe to another planet.”
Wu Bolin shook his head: “Astronomers have also studied this. Not to mention Earth, there is no other place in the entire solar system where humans can live. The nearest star is four light-years away from Earth. Even if the world after ascension is there, how many years do you think it would take for them to undergo tribulation on Earth and fly all the way there?”
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Unlike Wu Bolin, they hadn’t crammed on so much modern knowledge, so they didn’t know how to answer this question.
Wu Bolin said with a serious expression, “Even if they can fly at the speed of light after they ascend, it will still take four years to get there. Besides, there’s some relativity theory that some scientists have researched, which says that no object can exceed the speed of light.”
Wu Bozhong (Dorwin) blurted out, “Scientists study ordinary people, which is definitely not the same as ascending cultivators.”
Wu Bolin nodded and said, “You have your reasons, but let me ask you, if ascension really exists, which is more powerful, the ascended cultivator or Sun Wukong from Journey to the West?”
Without hesitation, Wu Bozhong (Dorwin) said, “If Journey to the West is true, then Sun Wukong must be the most powerful. He was already an immortal when he graduated from his apprenticeship, and later he became a Buddha, which is a god.”
Wu Bolin agreed, saying, “That’s right. If Sun Wukong is real, then he is a god or Buddha, even higher than an immortal.”
