Chapter 816 The last step

After the bickering subsided, the conversation returned to normal.

The members of 【No Name】 knew they couldn't be of much help with the following discussion, so they chose to do what they could.

Since Fujimaru Ritsuka accidentally missed the opening of the harvest festival, they will host a banquet to make up for it.

While the members of [No Name] were busy, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Shiroyasha continued their conversation from where they left off.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked the White Demon:

What do you know about the field of single-digit numbers?

"Hey, are you treating me like a wish-granting machine?"

White Yaksha said helplessly:

"Since even the gods have not yet discovered the path to single digits, why should I be an exception?"

"Well, that makes sense..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled and scratched her head.

Perhaps because she had received a lot of help from Shiroyasha during this period, she subconsciously harbored some unrealistic expectations of him.

"--but,"

However, just as she was thinking this, the White Demon suddenly changed the subject, giving her a meaningful once-over and saying:

"If it were you, perhaps there really is a way."

"Eh? Really?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened slightly in surprise, then she asked in confusion:

"But what do you mean by 'if it were me'?"

White Yaksha smiled and said:
"Because this is a path that had already been almost completely rejected."

Just as the fantasy says, the seventeen double-digit powerhouses currently existing in the Little Garden have all reached the end of their respective domains, with no way to advance further, thus confirming that it is absolutely impossible to reach single-digit domains.

But if we reach the pinnacle in another field as well, and merge two forces with two-digit numbers, could we use this to challenge the top?
White Yaksha paused for a moment, then said:
"However, while such a possibility exists in theory, it becomes clear once you actually try it that it is almost impossible."

Because there is a very real problem—even reaching the double-digit level is by no means an easy thing, otherwise the Little Garden wouldn't only have seventeen people in the double-digit level by now.

And if you've already reached double digits, it's really hard to say whether it's more difficult to achieve that level in another field or to reach single digits.

"Too."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others nodded knowingly, their expressions thoughtful. She had roughly understood what the White Demon wanted to say.

"You mean, I possess the qualities of a savior..."

"Yes."

White Yaksha smiled knowingly and nodded, saying:

"Without a doubt, the [Savior] is also capable of reaching the two-digit level. If you have a way to complete this part of your spiritual level, you might want to try the methods I mentioned above."

"Finish it?..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked her chin, lost in thought.

Speaking of which, when I talked to Arcueid in the City of a Thousand Years, she mentioned that she was only one step away from becoming the true savior. If that's true, then this plan is very feasible for her.

The only problem is how to achieve this so-called 'final step'.

However, just as she thought of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked the White Demon with some curiosity:

"By the way, you just said 'almost,' which means there are still people trying it now?"

"Yeah, of course."

Upon hearing this question, White Yaksha smiled and said:
"And you know this person too."

"……you?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka looking her up and down with a suspicious gaze, Shiroyasha's smile froze, and she said irritably:

"Of course not me! I'd rather not do something so thankless." "The person I'm talking about is... well, she's here. Just ask her whatever you want."

"……what?"

Seeing Sun Wukong walking towards them after catching up with Jiao Liu, Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise:
"Sister?"

"Sorry, I was a little delayed."

He apologized, but Sun Wukong's face was beaming with an undisguised hearty smile, indicating that he was in a very good mood.

Upon approaching, she noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was somewhat strange, and asked:
"what happened?"

"I gave her a brief introduction to your situation."

The White Yaksha gave a brief explanation, and after understanding the whole story, Sun Wukong nodded and smiled:

"That's absolutely true. And speaking of which, we're practically sisters now."

"us?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely confused, not knowing why the other person would say that.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong simply grabbed her hand. The next moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka instantly sensed a familiar aura and immediately blurted out:
"Earth UO?!"

"No, they are Earth spirits."

Sun Wukong released his grip and laughed:
"To be precise, I am a half-star spirit of Earth."

Journey to the West is one of the examples of stories from the miniature garden that have spread to the outside world. However, the records in the miniature garden differ from the actual history that happened in the miniature garden, such as the birth of Sun Wukong.

In reality, Sun Wukong was a life form born inside the Earth—in the central core of a star.

However, before it could acquire the knowledge and mission it was supposed to be given, it was accidentally brought to the surface by a lava flow erupting from the Earth's crust. As a result, it failed to become a complete form and instead became a unique Star Creation [Original Candidate], a half-star spirit of Earth.

After his birth, Sun Wukong embarked on a journey of self-discovery and finally found the answer—not only to use his overflowing power to eliminate evil and promote good, but also to find a way to bring lasting peace to the world.

So she eventually converted to Buddhism and now follows the Buddha in her practice, hoping to reach the realm of two digits. While it would be very difficult for Sun Wukong, with his talent, to achieve this, it is by no means impossible.

At that time, as long as she completes the other half of her Protoss, she will be able to realize her double double-digit goal and launch an attack on the top.

The biggest problem now is that they don't know whether Sun Wukong will achieve enlightenment first, or whether the end of the Little Garden will come first. Even whether they can really reach the top with double-digit power is still an unknown.

Of course, it's too early for them to discuss these issues now.

"I see!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.

Although the origins and experiences of Sun Wukong in the miniature garden differ somewhat from the description in "Journey to the West," they are not too far off. After learning about Sun Wukong's situation, her biggest takeaway was—

"It seems that Earth is a complicated place no matter which world you're on."

Especially since the Type-Moon world she lives in and Earth in the Little Garden have the same problems, they are practically in the same boat.

Sun Wukong also laughed heartily:
"Haha, it seems that's indeed the case!"

Back to the point.

Since the topic had come to this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka simply explained her situation to White Yaksha and Son Goku, and then asked:

"Do you know how to take the 'final step' to becoming a savior?"

"I'm afraid we should ask the Messiah about that."

Sun Wukong scratched his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but then he laughed and said:

"However, Buddha might have a way, which is why He specifically sent me to find you this time."

"Buddha?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly taken aback, only then realizing the purpose of Sun Wukong's descent to the mortal realm. Then, she saw Sun Wukong smile at her:

"Come with me, Ritsuka, Buddha wants to see you."
