Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 374 I want to rebel!
Sun Wukong sat cross-legged in the golden bowl with his eyes slightly closed, his golden hair emitting a faint light in the dark space.

His heart was like a stagnant pool of water. Gradually, all his anger and anxiety were suppressed, and replaced by a deep thought.

"Tathagata..."

He murmured softly, the always calm face of Tathagata appearing in his mind.

No matter how he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace or how he fought against the heavenly soldiers and generals, Tathagata's expression never fluctuated.

He was so calm, as if everything was under his control.

"He's not trying to destroy me... He has other goals."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his golden pupils.

He recalled all the unusual things that happened on the journey to obtain the scriptures. Those seemingly accidental hardships now seemed to be carefully designed by someone.

"The White Bone Demon, the Yellow Robe Monster, Red Boy... the timing of these monsters appearing is just too coincidental."

Sun Wukong tapped his fingers on his knees lightly, his brows gradually furrowing.

"And that six-eared macaque... why did he appear when Tang Seng and I were having a rift? Could it be... that Tathagata was behind all this?"

His thoughts raced faster and faster, with more and more details emerging in his mind.

The attitude of the Heavenly Court, the actions of Buddhism, and even every step of Tang Seng were calculated clearly.

Sun Wukong's heart suddenly shook, and a chill he had never felt before rose from behind him.

"It turns out... I'm just a chess piece."

He stood up slowly, clenched his fists, and the golden cudgel trembled slightly in his hands, making a low humming sound.

"The Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect, and even the Three Realms... everyone is playing tricks on me, and I am completely unaware of it."

His eyes became sharper and sharper. He spun the golden cudgel in his hand and suddenly stabbed the inner wall of the bowl.

However, the golden bowl did not move at all, not even a crack appeared.

Instead of getting angry, Sun Wukong laughed, with a sneer on his lips.

"Tathagata is indeed very clever. He actually used this magic weapon to trap me."

He snorted coldly, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"But I, Old Sun, will not sit still and wait for death!"

As soon as he thought about it, the magical power of seventy-two transformations began to operate in his body, like an invisible force flowing through his limbs and bones.

He closed his eyes, and countless magical weapons appeared in his mind, trying to find the one that could break the Tathagata's confinement.

"This golden bowl is a Buddhist treasure. Ordinary magic weapons cannot shake it at all."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly and his fingers lightly stroked in the air, as if simulating the shape of some magical weapon.

"But if we can create a magic weapon similar to the golden hoop, we might be able to fight against it."

The shadow of the golden hoop emerged in his mind. The Dinghai Shenzhen, which weighed 13,500 kilograms, had accompanied him when he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and fought against the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Sun Wukong's heart was moved, the magic power in his body surged, and his seventy-two transformations began to condense.

“Ruyi stick!”

He let out a low shout and swung his right hand violently. A magic weapon similar to the golden hoop condensed into shape in his hand.
The rod was golden in color, emitting a dazzling light, as if it came from the same source as the golden hoop stick.

Sun Wukong clenched the Ruyi Stick tightly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Tathagata, do you think that a mere golden bowl can trap me? Today, I will let you see what the real Monkey King is!"

He took a deep breath, exerted force with his arms, and smashed the Ruyi Stick into the inner wall of the bowl with infinite power.

boom!
A deafening roar echoed in the golden bowl. The sound was like thunder in the sky, shaking the entire bowl violently.

Sun Wukong's arms felt slightly numb, but he didn't care and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come again!"

He swung the Ruyi Stick again. This time, the stick drew a golden arc in the air and smashed towards the golden bowl with even more violent force.

boom! boom! boom!
There were three loud noises in succession, and the space inside the golden bowl seemed to be torn apart, and countless rays of light burst out from the cracks in the bowl.

Sun Wukong stood in the light, the Ruyi Stick in his hand sparkled brightly, as if it had merged into his body.

There was an extremely sharp light flashing in his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Tathagata, your golden bowl cannot trap me!"

The continuous blows of the Ruyi stick finally created spider-web-like cracks on the golden bowl.

The cracks spread rapidly, and the golden bowl let out a wail as if it could not bear the weight, as if it would collapse at any time.

Amidst the golden light, Sun Wukong dodged the flying gold chips.

He held the Ruyi Stick tightly, and the tip of the stick trembled slightly. It was obvious that the force just now made his arm numb.

In the square outside the golden bowl, the monks who had been standing quietly retreated one after another, looking at the violently vibrating golden bowl in horror.

An old monk wearing a cassock and with a thin figure was chanting Buddhist scriptures with his hands folded. He was muttering something, but his voice seemed to be trembling because of the loud noise of the golden bowl.

He looked at the golden bowl anxiously, his eyes full of worry.

At the same time, farther away from the golden bowl, a leader of the heavenly soldiers wearing dark gold armor was carefully observing the movements of the golden bowl with his clairvoyance.

The several heavenly soldiers beside him also looked nervous, staring at the golden bowl, holding weapons in their hands, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

"General, that golden bowl...seems...to be broken!"

A heavenly soldier stuttered, pointing at the golden bowl with a trembling finger.

The leader of the heavenly soldiers had a solemn expression and frowned. He put down his clairvoyance and whispered:

"Pass the order, all heavenly soldiers on alert, if the golden bowl is broken, immediately seal off the scene!"

His voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty. His eyes were fixed on the golden bowl, as if he was thinking about something.

The cracks in the golden bowl grew bigger and bigger, and finally, with a loud "crack", the golden bowl completely shattered, with fragments flying everywhere.

The dazzling golden light poured out like a flood, submerging the figure of Sun Wukong.

The golden light faded, and Sun Wukong stood proudly, with the Ruyi Stick casually carried on his shoulder. He looked around with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Sun Wukong looked around and found that he was in a magnificent hall with carved beams and painted buildings, the floor paved with golden bricks, and the ceiling inlaid with countless gems, emitting a dazzling light.

He immediately realized that this was still Lingshan.

Several monks in robes, holding religious instruments and with serious expressions, stood in front of him.

"You bold demon monkey! You still don't repent!"

One of the monks shouted loudly, pointing the demon-subduing pestle in his hand directly at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes:
"Humph, a few little monks dare to block my way?"

He swung the Ruyi stick, and the stick was wrapped in a strong wind, and swept towards the monks fiercely.

Seeing this, the monks hurriedly raised their magic weapons to resist, but they were no match for Sun Wukong.

The Ruyi Stick carried a tremendous force and instantly knocked their magic weapons away. The monks were also shocked and retreated repeatedly, falling to the ground with horror on their faces.

Sun Wukong was not interested in fighting, he snorted coldly and walked straight out of the hall. His steps were steady, and every step was filled with an indomitable aura, as if nothing in the world could stop him.

Outside the hall was a wide square where hundreds of monks had been waiting. When they saw Sun Wukong walk out of the hall, they immediately surrounded him and tried to trap him.

They held Buddhist instruments in their hands, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and emanated a faint Buddhist light. It was obvious that they were ready to fight with all their might.

Sun Wukong stopped, looked around, and raised a scornful smile:

"You guys think you can stop me, Old Sun?"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly changed. He turned into a fly. He flapped his wings and flew out from the encirclement of the monks easily.

"Oh no! He escaped!"

A monk exclaimed, however, they were unable to catch the fly that was the incarnation of Sun Wukong, and could only watch him fly away, leaving behind chaos.

At the same time, the leader of the heavenly soldiers in charge of guarding the golden bowl was patrolling the outskirts of Lingshan Mountain, when he suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of magical power coming from the depths of Lingshan Mountain.

He frowned and immediately raised his clairvoyance, looking towards Lingshan.

"Oh no! The seal of the golden bowl has been broken!"

The face of the leader of the heavenly soldiers suddenly changed, and he quickly turned around and gave orders to the heavenly soldiers behind him.

"Hurry and report to the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong has escaped!"

Upon hearing this, the heavenly soldiers looked nervous and someone immediately rode a cloud to heaven to report the news.

The leader of the heavenly soldiers led the remaining heavenly soldiers and quickly rushed to Lingshan, trying to intercept Sun Wukong before he escaped.

……

……

In heaven.

The Jade Emperor was sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, holding a memorial in his hand with a leisurely expression.

Suddenly, a heavenly soldier hurried into the hall, knelt on one knee, and said in a hurried voice:

"Report to the Jade Emperor, Sun Wukong has escaped from the golden bowl and is now in Lingshan!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and the memorial in his hand fell to the ground with a "pa".

He stood up suddenly and shouted angrily:
"What! Sun Wukong escaped? This... How is this possible?!"

His voice echoed in the hall, and all the civil and military officials in the court showed expressions of astonishment.

Taibai Jinxing hurried forward and whispered:
"Jade Emperor, this matter is of great importance and must be suppressed immediately!"

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and immediately ordered:

Pass on my order to immediately strengthen the guard of the Heavenly Palace, and no one should slack off! "

"Also, send Yang Jian and Nezha to Lingshan to capture Sun Wukong!"

After receiving the order, Yang Jian and Nezha immediately got ready and led a team of heavenly soldiers to Lingshan quickly.

At the same time, Sun Wukong had already flown out of Lingshan and returned to an empty mountain area.

His body flashed, and he changed from a fly back to his original form, with the Ruyi stick shining brightly in his hand.

He looked up at the sky, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Humph, the Heavenly Court is quite quick."

He did not delay any longer, swung the Ruyi stick in his hand, rode the somersault cloud, and headed straight for the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The somersault cloud drew a dazzling golden light in the sky, and its speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

Sun Wukong stood on the clouds with a determined look in his eyes, thinking about his next plan in his mind.

"No matter what, I, Old Sun, can't be led by them by the nose anymore!"

He clenched the Ruyi Stick tightly, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

The sky of Huaguo Mountain gradually appeared in his field of vision. The familiar mountains and rivers, the familiar monkeys, everything seemed to be waiting for his return.

Sun Wukong quickened his pace, having already made up his mind that this time, he would never give in easily!
Sun Wukong saw the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain from afar. He was so excited that he swooped down on his somersault cloud and landed steadily on the open space in front of the Water Curtain Cave.

"The king is back!"

A little monkey with sharp eyes recognized Sun Wukong at a glance and shouted excitedly.

This shout immediately attracted countless monkeys and their descendants, who poured out of the cave, surrounded Sun Wukong, and cheered.

"My King! You are finally back!"

"My Lord! We missed you so much!"

Looking at the familiar faces, Sun Wukong felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He raised the Ruyi Stick and said loudly:
"Kids! I'm back!"

His voice was loud and powerful, echoing through the valley and making the monkeys even more excited. They jumped up and celebrated the king's return.

An old monkey, leaning on a cane, tremblingly walked up to Sun Wukong, and burst into tears with excitement:

"My Lord, I'm so glad you're okay! We were all so worried!"

Sun Wukong supported the old monkey, patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"I'm fine, old man. Sorry to have made you worried."

He looked around and saw that Huaguo Mountain was still full of vitality, and nodded with satisfaction.

"My lord, what are your plans for coming back this time?"

A young monkey asked, his eyes full of anticipation.

A gleam of light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"This time, I, Old Sun, will let the Heavenly Court know that I, Old Sun, am not so easily fooled!"

His words were powerful, full of confidence and determination. After hearing them, the monkeys expressed their support and were full of fighting spirit.

Then, Sun Wukong looked around at the other monkeys, his eyes sparkling, his voice deep and powerful:
"My children, I came back this time because I was deceived by that bald donkey Tathagata. He set a trap and trapped me in the golden bowl."

"Now that I have escaped and returned, I will definitely overthrow the rule of Heaven and Lingshan and establish a new order for our demon race!"

The monkeys all clapped their hands and cheered. An old monkey stepped forward with tears in his eyes:
"My lord, we have been oppressed by the Heavenly Court and Lingshan for so long! Now that you are back, we will follow you! We will do whatever you say!"

The other monkeys also waved their fists and shouted in agreement, and their shouts echoed over the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Sun Wukong nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes:
"Okay! Then you should get ready to fight against the Heavenly Court!"

Seeing the monkeys busy in an orderly manner, Sun Wukong was secretly happy, but he knew that the power of Flower-Fruit Mountain alone was not enough to compete with Heaven and Lingshan.

He thought of the seven sworn brothers in the past, and an idea came to his mind. He immediately rode his somersault cloud and headed straight for the Bull Demon King's cave.

The Bull Demon King was drinking in the cave. He was startled to see Sun Wukong suddenly arrive and quickly stood up to greet him:

"My dear brother, it's been a long time since we last met. How come you have time to come and see me today?"

Sun Wukong didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"Brother, the Heavenly Court and Lingshan have oppressed us for a long time. I, Sun, have decided to rise up in rebellion. I have come to ask for your help!"
