Chapter 587: Chapter 351 I’m Willing_2

His target was Garuda.

Vishnu’s mount, that legendary giant bird.

Finally, at the end of a narrow alley, Chen Yun found the solitary Garuda statue he had detected earlier with his spiritual power.

Compared to other statues, this one appeared more exquisite and did not share the stage with Vishnu despite being his mount.

No way around it.

Since he was evolving towards the concept of the "Roc," he naturally was dissatisfied with the idea of "himself" being a mount.

Being Tathagata’s uncle like the Golden Winged Roc in "Journey to the West" would be more like it.

Maybe...

Could his earlier idea of manipulating the mythological impact on the definition of "Roc" to indirectly expand his evolutionary possibilities start from this point?

Could he first try to reduce the common belief that Garuda is the mount of Vishnu?

If he wanted to do that, it would probably require a lot of preparatory work, and it would be necessary for the Dome Council to make a good effort.

Pondering,

Chen Yun quietly examined the statue in front of him.

Its form was massive, with the head of an eagle and the body of a man, wings spread as if ready to soar at any moment.

The statue’s eyes, set with gemstones, glimmered with a mysterious light, as if capable of perceiving the depths of one’s heart. Its feathers were lifelike, each carved with meticulous detail, showcasing the artisan’s remarkable skill.

The environment around the statue was exceptionally peaceful, forming a stark contrast with the outside bustle.

A few devotees quietly sat before the statue, holding flowers and candles in their hands, silently praying. Devotion marked their faces as if they had found inner peace before the statue.

Chen Yun approached the statue for a closer look.

Beneath Garuda’s wings was an ancient Sanskrit inscription, recounting legends about it.

It was said that Garuda once fought a fierce battle with the Naga Clan for his mother’s freedom and eventually emerged victorious. This history made Garuda a symbol of courage and justice.

Chen Yun closed his eyes.

He reached out with his heart to feel the atmosphere around him.

His Spiritual Position enabled him to perceive all the details of the statue more profoundly.

Unfortunately, this time that ancient and powerful strength did not appear, preventing him from feeling a resonance with the statue as if he had traversed time and space.

He didn’t feel the Garuda statue’s pride and freedom as before, nor did he experience its commitment to justice.

When Chen Yun opened his eyes again, he noticed an elderly man watching him quietly.

Curiosity tinged in the elder’s gaze, as if he sensed something special about Chen Yun’s aura.

"Young man," the elder began slowly, "you seem to have a special fondness for Garuda."

With a slight smile, Chen Yun replied, "Yes, I have always been searching for traces of Garuda."

India is a multilingual nation, with many official and regional languages. The most widely spoken language is Hindi, which is one of the official languages of India and the main medium of communication in the northern part of the country.

English is also widely used in academia and other fields.

In addition to Hindi and English, India recognizes 21 other official languages by its constitution, including but not limited to Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil, and Urdu.

The language they were conversing in was one of these 21 official languages.

Although Chen Yun could communicate telepathically.

Learning these languages was not challenging for him.

Just the day before he departed, he had nearly mastered these languages in less than an hour.

The elder nodded, a flash of appreciation in his eyes: "You have good taste. Garuda is not just a legendary giant bird, it represents our longing for a good life and our steadfastness to justice."

The two continued talking, and the elder shared many stories and legends about Garuda with Chen Yun.

These stories not only enriched Chen Yun’s knowledge but also gave him a deeper understanding of Hindu culture.

Though for Chen Yun, this mode of communication was somewhat slow—had he searched for the information himself, he could have totally grasped Hinduism in one night—he still communicated patiently with the elder to gather information.

After all, patience was something he never lacked.

If he weren’t patient enough,

He would have been unable to tolerate this form of communication long ago.

After all, no matter the language, the information transmission speed is roughly 39 bits per second.

In fact, the current 5G networks can achieve an information transfer rate of 2.5 Gb per second.

In the conversion of units of information, 1 byte (Byte) equals 8 bits (bit), and "G" usually refers to a gigabyte (GB).

Therefore, 2.5 GB of information equals 21,474,836,480 bits.

Chen Yun’s information reception speed wasn’t as exaggerated as 5G, but it definitely far surpassed 39 bits.

But that was fine.

Patience was something he always had.

Thus,

that morning Chen Yun discussed information about Garuda and Hinduism with the elderly man for quite some time.

In the process, Chen Yun also saw many Garuda statues and murals.

Although he didn’t uncover any abnormalities during the process,

Chen Yun wasn’t in a rush either.

His purpose for coming wasn’t solely that.

Overall, he was more interested in looking and learning about the concept of "Roc."

So,

after saying goodbye to the fervent believer, Chen Yun felt no psychological burden as he headed towards the nearest library.

Now that he had read "Journey to the West" over and over again, it was time to look at other literature and references on the concept of "Roc."

After casually sending a message to the Dome Council, he immediately received the information he wanted.

This included a summary version as well as detailed introductions.

The summary version only had a few paragraphs of text and an online map.

It mentioned that there wasn’t an exact, fixed number of libraries in India because the number changes over time, including new libraries built and possible library closures.

According to surveys, in India, a nation with a vast population, there are about 50,000 publicly funded libraries. These libraries are spread out all over the country, from large cities to remote villages.

Each state’s Central Library has an average collection of about 77,000 volumes, whereas each local library has an average collection of about 24,000 volumes.

Libraries in rural and tribal areas might have fewer books, sometimes only a few thousand.

Regional small libraries may not have a large collection.

But they should not have too few either, and the information he wanted to know about certainly wouldn’t be less than what the old man knew—at least, it must be more.

Chen Yun, based on his location, found the nearest library on the online map and headed in that direction.

And as Chen Yun casually made his way to the library,

his Spiritual Position encompassed a range of several heinous incidents.

It is well known that

while India’s overall strength is decent, and their cutting-edge technology passable,

the extreme disparity in wealth and culture, combined with the feudal class system and religious environment, make the general quality of its inhabitants concerning.

Although their treatment of cows is quite good, almost revering them as deities,

for most women around the world,

this isn’t a good place.

The crime rate he noticed along the way was basically high.

For Chen Yun, who possessed an extensive range of Perception Ability, this was a common scenario.

Only, this was the first time he encountered so many crime scenes within his range, and this was only within a ten-kilometer radius.

Previously, he usually did not interfere except in matters involving the safety of the elderly, women, and children.

Even if the elderly, women, and children faced threats, he would only intervene simply with his spiritual power.

After all, how often had he encountered such situations before?

But now...

After a moment of silence,

Chen Yun resumed his steps.

And the perpetrators of the malicious incidents around him, without exception, suddenly blacked out and fell to the ground motionless.

That’s right.

Chen Yun chose to intervene.

As for the reason...

He was pleased to do so.

Now, he had the capital to do as he pleased.

And he didn’t need to consider any possibility of exposure.
