Rewriting the Gods

The demonic ape's raised staff stopped in mid-air and did not fall again, a hint of struggle appearing in its fierce eyes.

Seeing that it was effective, everyone on the field was overjoyed. Tang Sanzang focused on chanting the sutra again, and the tranquil Taoist aura slowly spread out. As time went by, the struggle in the eyes of the demon ape became more and more obvious.

Gradually, the demonic ape's blood-red eyes turned into a combination of gold and red, and most of the ferocity on its body dissipated. However, correspondingly, the aura emanating from the demonic ape also weakened considerably.

Time passed slowly, and the golden light in the demonic ape's eyes grew brighter and brighter, eventually completely overshadowing the blood-red light.

The next moment, the demonic ape's murderous aura and fighting spirit receded like a tide, and its jet-black fur turned golden.

The familiar Sun Wukong reappeared before everyone's eyes.

However, compared to Sun Wukong three months ago, the depths of his eyes still carried an intense and unyielding ferocity.

Its aura had also become much stronger. Although it was far less powerful than when it transformed into a demonic ape, it was still far stronger than when it was a monkey.

If it were the previous monkey, its fighting power would not be much different from Sha Wujing's, but the current monkey, even without transforming into a demonic ape, can still suppress Sha Wujing in terms of fighting power.

Looking at the mess around him, the monkey shook his head with a headache, and the memories of the past resurfaced.

Three months ago, his master gave him the original power of the other three of the Four Mischievous Monkeys so that he could merge with them.

However, the fusion process was not so smooth. The four monkeys of the Chaos were originally one, so there was no problem with fusion. They didn't even need to do anything; the origins of the three monkeys would automatically merge into their bodies.

This step was simple; the real trouble only erupted after the fusion. The four chaotic monkeys merged their origins and evolved into the Chaotic Demon Ape, unleashing an indescribable ferocity from the depths of the monkeys' hearts.

The light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and his once brilliant golden eyes turned into a mix of gold and red, filled with malevolence.

That terrifying malevolence consumed his entire mind, leaving him only able to cling to the last shred of clarity to prevent himself from becoming a killing machine.

However, in this state, the body is completely controlled by the demonic ape, making it impossible to attack. Once attacked, it will inevitably indiscriminately slaughter everything in its path.

For the next three months, the master used his great magical power to set a seal within his body, sealing the origin of the Chaos Demon Ape. The seal could be broken when needed and then resealed when not in use.

At the same time, he was taught a method to calm his mind, so that he could keep his mind as focused as possible amidst the overwhelming malevolent energy.

Three months later, today's battle came about. I never expected that the three human immortals' fighting power would far exceed my expectations. As the battle became more intense, the murderous intent in my heart grew stronger and stronger. In the end, I lost my composure and was taken advantage of by the murderous intent, turning into a merciless killing weapon.

Fortunately, Tang Sanzang recited the calming mantra, which barely brought him back to his senses. This triggered his master's seal and suppressed the Chaos Demon Ape's instincts.

Even so, after a long period of drawing upon the power of the Chaos Demon Ape, a considerable amount of the Chaos Demon Ape's essence had already merged into his body, causing his inner ferocity to surge.

After calming down, the monkey apologized to the three people in front of him.

He then transformed into a golden light and flew toward Sha Wujing. On the mountainside, countless cracks covered the entire peak, and in the middle of the cracks, a large human-shaped hole came into view. Deep inside the hole, Sha Wujing was embedded directly into the rock.

His aura was extremely weak, his bones were broken, his magic power was forcibly dispersed, and he was only hanging on by a thread.

Upon it, the monkey sensed an unparalleled killing intent capable of annihilating all living beings; it was clearly a supreme treasure of the path of slaughter.

This treasure has kept Sha Wujing's life hanging by a thread. If he had been hit by the Chaos Demon Ape's staff without any defense, he would have surely died.

The monkey secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led Sha Wujing straight to Fangcun Mountain.

……

At Zhonghuang Mountain, Zhisheng watched the departing monkey and finally felt completely relaxed.

I see. Now we can continue training. The malevolent energy is so strong that even a calming spell cannot eliminate it all each time it is used.

The monkey would never use this power unless absolutely necessary.

Unable to transform into a demonic ape, the pilgrims before us, though powerful, are still manageable for humans. Using them as whetstones would be perfect.

Beside Zhisheng, Jiang Haofeng, who had just crossed the chaos, calmly looked at the five pilgrims on their journey to the West, a hint of melancholy on his face.

Some people in later generations have said that among the five members of the pilgrimage group, if you remove the White Dragon Horse, Sun Wukong, who seems to be the strongest in terms of combat power, is probably the weakest one.

Sha Wujing was born in the Netherworld Blood Sea, Zhu Ganglie was part of Marshal Tianpeng, and Tang Sanzang was a quasi-saint in his previous life. All of them are basically stronger than the monkey who was born less than a thousand years ago.

The various behaviors they displayed on the journey to the West were entirely just for show.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were deliberately holding back because they didn't want to reveal their true abilities.

In terms of sheer strength, the strongest among the pilgrims was actually Zhu Bajie, who appeared to be the weakest. However, in terms of spiritual cultivation and foundation, the strongest was Tang Sanzang, who was only human.

Although there has been some intervention from the West, and the Buddhist community has increased its investment in the pilgrims, the monkey has finally begun to resemble the top fighter on the pilgrimage.

With the powerful foundation of an innate deity, coupled with a body honed to perfection, and the remaining power of the Chaos Demon Ape's origin within his body.

At this moment, even without using the power of the Chaos Demon Ape's origin, the monkey's combat power was already enough to completely suppress Sha Wujing and the Jade Qilin.

However, compared to Zhu Ganglie, he is still somewhat inferior. But Zhu Ganglie has no fighting spirit at all until the very last moment, so he can be completely ignored in normal times.

When it came to the very last moment, even the Monkey King, who unleashed the power of the Chaos Demon Ape, was no match for Pigsy.

This monkey in this life is indeed the strongest among the pilgrims.

Jiang Haofeng shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and stopped paying attention to the pilgrims.

Whether it's Marshal Tianpeng or the Chaos Demon Ape, they can be easily suppressed after reincarnation.

No need to pay too much attention.

Jiang Haofeng turned to Zhisheng beside him and said, "I'll leave the clan's affairs to you. Don't worry too much about the journey to the West; I'm here."

"Take this opportunity to hone the Taiyi Immortals in the clan and produce more Daluo Immortals."

After a pause, Jiang Haofeng spoke again:

"The restrictions within the clan can be relaxed a bit, and there's no need to worry about reaching the limits that Heaven and Earth can withstand in the short term. However, we shouldn't rush to promote the orthodox methods. For cultivation below the Golden Immortal level, we should keep it as it is, focusing on visualization and divine invocation techniques to select the true geniuses of the human race."

"As for the Golden Immortal realm, let nature take its course. If you can break through it, then break through; if you can't, then don't force it."

"As for Taiyi Immortals, the clan's resources are tilted towards them, and we will try our best to cultivate more Daluo Golden Immortals."

"The Chaos is not the primordial world. The key to solving the problem of the primordial world's insufficient capacity to withstand the imbalance of the three realms lies deep within the Chaos."

"Having a few more Great Luo Golden Immortals will be of great use in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Zhisheng's face showed a hint of surprise. It seemed that Haofeng had made a new discovery in the depths of chaos. He immediately nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the human race is currently the largest race in the prehistoric world, with a profound foundation and the number of immortals is unparalleled. Whether it is the Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Taiyi Golden Immortal, or any other Golden Immortal, the number of humans is undisputed to be the largest in the prehistoric world.

However, this is not the result of humanity's all-out development; rather, it is the result of humanity's constant restraint.

As the largest race in the primordial world, humans were born without the powerful physique of the witch race or the many talents and abilities of the demon race. The most ordinary humans were extremely weak. The reason why humans could dominate the primordial world was due to only two things: one was their heaven-defying comprehension. Humans were born with spirits and were naturally very intelligent, making them very suitable for comprehending the Dao.

The second reason is that the human race reproduces extremely quickly. While individual human beings are weak, their reproduction rate is fast, resulting in an extremely large population. Often, a generation in the human world takes ten years.

Currently, the human race occupies 60% of the entire human landmass in the Southern Continent. Humans exist in almost all of the three thousand great worlds, and they are the dominant race in the vast majority of them.

After all, the thirty-six cities of torches he established and the torch steles he erected were not just for show.

The heritage it contains is enough to enable the human race to rise at the beginning of the world.

At that time, few people in the primordial world cared about the vast world that was still in its infancy, and he made plans in advance by relying on the knowledge he gained from his time travel.

Later, when the Great Thousand Worlds were fully formed, everyone realized their preciousness. By this time, the human race had basically occupied all three thousand Great Thousand Worlds.

At this moment, Jiang Haofeng was using the Twelve Capital Heavenly Fiend God Formation to fight against the Saint, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was awe-inspiring throughout the world.

Those who had set their sights on the Great Thousand World had no choice but to withdraw their attention and dare not make things difficult for the human race anymore. At most, they would open up a secluded paradise in the Great Thousand World to live in seclusion, cultivate, and enjoy life.

Such a vast territory belongs to the human race, and the number of human beings that can be born within it is naturally enormous, with an astronomical number of new human births every year.

Although it is extremely difficult to become a Golden Immortal in this post-natal era, it is a luxury for ordinary beings to become immortals, let alone become an immortal Golden Immortal.

To achieve the status of a Golden Immortal is no exaggeration; it's one in a billion.

However, the human race has countless members, and Jiang Haofeng doesn't know the exact number, but if the restrictions are completely lifted, at least a hundred Golden Immortals will be born every year!
Before long, the human race will be able to fill the vacant space in the prehistoric world, causing the human way to become dominant and the heavenly way to become weak, resulting in an imbalance among the three ways and triggering a great calamity.

Therefore, the entire human race is trying to control the number of strong individuals.

It's somewhat tragic, but that's the reality. Humanity is trying to slow down its development as much as possible, thus delaying the next great calamity.

But today Haofeng has lifted the restrictions, although only partially. The signal it conveys is very clear: humanity has a new way out!
Seeing that Zhisheng agreed, Jiang Haofeng nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave the clan to you. I'm going to reincarnate!"

"it is good!"

"You can rest assured that I am in the clan!"

Looking at Zhisheng's gentle expression, Jiang Haofeng smiled as well. "With you here, I feel at ease."

The next moment, Jiang Haofeng's figure disappeared silently from the spot. Zhiyi had a sudden thought, but found that Haofeng had already left Zhonghuang Mountain.

But Zhisheng hadn't noticed how Haofeng left at all. It was perfectly normal that he couldn't see through Haofeng. After all, in all the years since he was born, except for the period right after his birth, he had never been able to see through Haofeng.

The problem is that he was at the peak of Quasi-Saint, while Haofeng was just an avatar with only the initial stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The difference in their cultivation levels was so vast that he still couldn't see how Haofeng left.

Haofeng has become stronger again!

Zhisheng's smile widened; this was a great thing for the entire human race.

·······
Hell!

Deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a majestic figure sits cross-legged atop the Six Paths of Reincarnation, maintaining the cycle of reincarnation throughout the entire primordial world.

This is Houtu Niangniang, the embodiment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. She is not a saint, but she is better than a saint!
The moment Jiang Haofeng stepped into the Underworld, Houtu immediately opened her eyes, her gaze traversing the endless void to fall upon Jiang Haofeng, who had just entered the Underworld.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Haofeng cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Human Haofeng greets Senior Houtu!"

“In this underworld, there is truly nothing that can be hidden from you, senior.”

"I am not worthy to be called a senior in front of you; just call me fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haofeng did not say much, but cupped his hands and said, "Senior has transformed into the cycle of reincarnation, and all living beings in the primordial world owe you a debt of gratitude. How can you not deserve the title of Senior?"

Houtu's eyes remained calm upon hearing this, but she did not say much. She simply asked, "I wonder what brings you to my Underworld?"

Jiang Haofeng's smile remained unchanged. "Our human race and the Buddhist sect have made a bet. The Buddhist sect has dispatched the Chaos Demon Ape to take action. I'm afraid the younger generation of our race will not be able to withstand it."

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to bully the weak and go through another cycle of reincarnation."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Houtu's eyes. "I didn't expect you to be willing to take action personally. If you were to take action, there would be no way this journey to the West would succeed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu's expression turned serious again. "However, reincarnation is the core of the operation of the Heavenly Dao. All living beings in the primordial world are treated equally, without exception."

"If you wish to avoid the River of Oblivion, you should go to the Heavenly Court and seek out Emperor Ziwei. I will not make exceptions for anyone here!"

Jiang Haofeng's expression remained unchanged. "Senior acts impartially, and Haofeng admires you."

"However, there's no need to trouble Fellow Daoist Suiren with this matter. I will drink the water of the River of Oblivion myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu's face showed surprise. "Fellow Daoist, are you sure? Although the Forgotten River Water is said to be given to each passing soul, which seems common, it is actually formed from the rules of Heaven."

"Even quasi-saints are not exempt unless they are protected by the authority of the Heavenly Dao or by the Great Dao of the Sage."

"If you were in your true form, this small bowl of Forgetfulness Water would naturally be of no use to you. But since you have only sent an avatar, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Haofeng's expression remained calm as he chuckled, "Senior, there's no need to worry. I have my own way."

Houtu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said:

"Alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, invisible laws surged in the void, transforming into a bowl of clear water that slowly landed in front of Jiang Haofeng.

Jiang Haofeng reached out and took it, feeling the familiar Great Dao of Oblivion within, forgetting everything in this life, and starting a new life.

He raised his hand and drank the bowl of water from the River of Oblivion. The water flowed into his body and instantly transformed into pure laws that surged into Jiang Haofeng's limbs and bones.

However, the next moment, a Dao of Oblivion, of the same origin, rose from Jiang Haofeng's body, instantly dissolving all the power of the laws within him.

"I see. I didn't expect you to have even delved into the great Dao of the Underworld."

"The Earthly Dao is the core Dao of the primordial world. Without the Earthly Dao, the world would be incomplete. This Dao must be thoroughly comprehended."

Houtu, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, then raised her hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, please!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Jiang Haofeng cupped his hands slightly, then stepped out and flew into the human realm within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Feeling the power before him, comparable to that of a saint's Six Paths of Reincarnation, Jiang Haofeng couldn't help but show surprise. The Reincarnation Ground truly lived up to its name!
The next moment, a power of reincarnation identical to that of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared on Jiang Haofeng's body. He took a step forward and directly merged into the Six Paths of Reincarnation before him.

It's like a drop of water merging into the ocean. (End of Chapter)
