Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

This is quite a catch! The Bull Demon King is quite powerful. However, if this is a world several hundred years after the end of Journey to the West, then Red Boy should be cultivating under Guanyin Bodhisattva!

Why did you return to the Flaming Mountain again, and even ask your own father for help? Besides, wasn't you, Bull Demon King, taken away by the Buddhist sect?

Something felt off! There was a strange feeling about this world, which made Rhode feel uneasy.

“A son trying to turn against his father, isn’t that just like Arthas? No problem, we’ll help you with this, won’t you say so, Rhodes?” Azeroth said.

"You two have agreed? Excellent, excellent! Then I will take you two experts back to Flaming Mountain. Please help my king escape his predicament and, while you're at it, subdue that rebellious son, Red Boy," the horse-headed man said.

After being away for so long, I've finally found reinforcements. This time, I haven't let the king down.

"Wasn't Red Boy taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea and made into Sudhana? How come he's back at Flaming Mountain? Didn't the Bull Demon King convert to Buddhism?"

"This is an old grievance from hundreds of years ago. After my king spent some time cultivating himself in Buddhism, he returned to live in the Flaming Mountains."

"As for that wicked beast Red Boy, I don't know what happened, but he escaped from Guanyin of the South Sea, and his temper has become extremely violent. He even imprisoned the Great King," the horse-headed man said.

Rhodes had absolutely no clue about the plot! He knew that the only sequel to Journey to the West was a sequel.

Just as Rod was pondering the problem, a figure suddenly appeared near the village entrance, holding a red iron rod, with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, wearing a set of black armor, and a red gourd hanging at his waist.

"Holy crap, Great Sage!" Rhodes exclaimed immediately upon seeing the other's appearance.

After all, this image was ingrained in the bones of Easterners, and even after so many years of time travel, Rhodes still remembered it.

“Great Sage? You’re joking, sir. That little monkey over there isn’t the Great Sage at all. He’s just a little monkey demon. I saw him once before when I was in Black Wind Mountain.” The horse-headed man immediately shook his head and said.

This skinny little monkey only has a little bit of rudimentary martial arts skills. He knows a spell to freeze people and a set of giant energy-dispersing spells. His strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary little demon.

How could they possibly compare to the one who caused havoc in Heaven?

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded. The staff in the other party's hand was indeed not the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), and the armor he was wearing was not the golden chainmail.

Instead, it was a black suit of armor. As for its appearance, it was indeed a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, and it looked very much like a certain Monkey King.

No, that's not how it is. Why does Rod look so familiar?

"The chosen one!" Rod called out tentatively.

The monkey had originally intended to leave, but upon hearing the words "Chosen One," it immediately turned around, came to Rhodes, Azeroth, and the horse-headed man, and then said nothing.

“And then there’s the Monkey King race. Come to think of it, I remember there was a Monkey King in Pandaria too!” Azeroth said, stroking his chin.

"Sir and Madam, the monkey's head really can't talk."

"When I met him at Black Wind Ridge before, I was talking to myself, and he didn't say a word. He seemed like a mute!" the horse-headed man said.

However, Rhodes frowned. The energy reaction of this little monkey was indeed not very strong, only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary demon.

But now, Rhodes knows what world he has entered. What's worse, Rhodes knows nothing about the plot of this world. He only knows that this is a world where he is retracing the Journey to the West.

Unfortunately, when I traveled through time, this masterpiece hadn't even been released yet!

“His soul is a little strange, Rhodes, can you tell? It seems, it seems that what is dormant in his body, controlling his body, seems, it seems that only a trace of obsession is driving it!” Azeroth said.

“I can see that his problem is indeed very strange, like that of a puppet,” Rhodes said.

"I wonder how long this chosen monkey will live. I saw a monkey like him once when I was in the Flaming Mountain. He must be one of his previous incarnations!"

One of these monkeys appears every few decades and then searches everywhere for the essence of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, after his death.

They seemed to have only one goal: to find what Sun Wukong left behind after his death, and nothing else.

They don't care about anything, and all the monkeys can't speak. They are collectively called the Chosen Ones, and they all come from Flower Fruit Mountain," the horse-headed man said.

"Oh! That's a bit strange. Rhodes, you now control the Law of Death, and so do I."

"If the two of us were to intervene, we should be able to restore his soul," Azeroth said.

They both ate the fruits of death and now have complete control over the power of death. They can manipulate life and death at will, repair a damaged soul, and then revive it. This is indeed not a difficult task for them.

“Hmm! Monkey, I can help you revive Sun Wukong, but you’d better stay quietly to the side for now,” Rod said.

Upon hearing this, the black-haired monkey shook its head, slung its stick over its shoulder, and turned to leave.

If you don't give the chosen one any hints and just say strange things, then the chosen one will leave.

The only way to revive Sun Wukong is to find his six fundamental treasures; all other methods are futile.

"This monkey is quite rude, leave it here!" Rhodes snorted, conjuring a large golden hand beside him and grabbing the monkey.

The Buddha once captured Sun Wukong in this way, so I can capture him in the same way once, except this time I'm capturing his reincarnation.

Rhodes had already realized that this black-haired monkey was not an ordinary monkey, but the reincarnation of Sun Wukong. Rhodes could sense the broken soul within him.

Seeing this, the black monkey immediately transformed into a cloud of white mist and tried to escape, but was caught by Rhodes again.

However, no matter how much the black monkey struggled, it could not escape the giant hand that Rhodes had conjured.

"This gentleman is quite skilled; that move is indeed impressive!" the horse-headed man exclaimed.

"Rhodes! There seems to be a tiger cub at the bottom of that well next to him." Azeroth suddenly looked towards a spot next to the pavilion, where there was a dry well, and a tiger's roar came from the bottom of the well.

"What a tragedy! What a tragedy! There's a man-eating mad tiger at the bottom of this well," the horse-headed man exclaimed.

"Let's deal with this little monkey first!" Rhodes said, and together with Azeroth, they used their death powers to strike the little black monkey on the forehead.

“His soul in his previous life was very strong, a god-level soul, and very special, as if it were born from the very beginning of heaven and earth,” Azeroth said, turning his head.

“He is indeed very powerful, but we can still revive him,” Rhodes said.

If you want to know the problems of this world, why not just resurrect the protagonist of this world?

When he traveled through time, the game hadn't been released yet, but he still had some guesses about what was going on.

Judging from the current situation, this little monkey is probably searching for the relics left behind by Sun Wukong, and then trying to find a way to revive him, which is to say, revive himself.

"Ahhh!" The black-haired monkey let out a scream, its whole body began to tremble, and its eyes were bloodshot.

With the help of two powerful death forces, his shattered soul is being slowly repaired by a mysterious power.

Under the restoration of the two deathly divine powers, Sun Wukong's soul was restored.

"I, Old Sun, am alive! Did Yang Jian do this? Who are you?"

Impossible! No, that's not right! No, I, Old Sun, should be completely dead.

Even if a Sun Wukong appears, he will only inherit my things; I will not come back to life.” The black-haired monkey suddenly covered his head, squatted on the ground, and said.

“Under normal circumstances, you shouldn’t have been resurrected, or even truly dead, but I am a god who controls the power of death. Your soul is a problem for others, but I can repair your shattered soul,” Rhodes said.

Judging from the monkey's words, he seemed to know that he was going to die, and that this matter was related to Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

"This is truly the resurrection of Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong, do you... do you still remember me? Do you still remember my king? My king is the Bull Demon King!" the horse-headed man said.

Goodness gracious! These two are truly powerful! They saved the black-haired monkey so easily; who would have thought that this black-haired monkey was actually the reincarnation of the Monkey King!

"You saved me, why did you save me? Who are you? I've never seen you before!" The black-haired monkey looked at Rhodes and Azeroth and asked.

Who are these two extraordinary individuals? I've never seen them before! Why should I help them?

His body was extremely weak! He had even lost his keen eyesight and couldn't see through the situation of these two people at all.

Moreover, the original stone monkey body and its all-powerful cultivation within it have completely disappeared.

However, now that his true spirit has been resurrected, as long as he finds what he has lost, he can transform back into the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“Great God, you are dead. Back then, my king, along with Erlang Shen Yang Jian, the Black Wind King, the Yellow Wind Great Sage, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the Four Heavenly Kings of Heaven, and many heavenly soldiers and generals, all besieged you to death. You have been dead for hundreds of years,” the horse-headed man said.

"I, Old Sun, know I've been dead for hundreds of years. I'm just a little curious. How is Brother Niu doing now?" the black-haired monkey asked.

"Alas, to be honest, Great Sage, my king is having a hard time, and the things you left behind..."

My little king wanted it, but the old king wouldn't give it to him, so the little king imprisoned the old king.

"I came out to seek help, and luckily I found two experts willing to assist me," the horse-headed man said.

"Why would my brother take my things? Didn't I tell him that I shouldn't touch what I become after I die?"

"That old ox always makes the wrong choice, never the right one. It's really bad luck," the black-haired monkey said angrily.

Chapter 416 Desperate Wukong, I am Wutian!

Sometimes, this "Brother Niu" (a nickname for a person) just can't see the situation clearly, nor can he guess what other people are thinking. He always thinks he's doing it for the other person's good, but in reality, he's harming others and himself.

He thought that death would bring him peace, but in the end he still harmed Brother Niu. I wonder if Brother Niu's wife and children can be protected this time.

No matter what, I have to protect Brother Niu's family; I owe them too much.

"Grandpa Great Sage! How many of your six root weapons have you retrieved so far?" the horse-headed man asked.

If Grandpa Monkey could regain his former supernatural powers, the Little King wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble.

"I've already retrieved one of the items from the Black Wind Monster, and it's now inside my body. The Yellow Wind Monster has another one, and I plan to retrieve that one first," said the Black Monkey, or rather, the current Sun Wukong.

But what good would it do to reclaim all his inherent abilities and restore his cultivation as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?

"What are your so-called six root elements?" Rod asked.

He knew absolutely nothing about the game's plot, because when he traveled through time, the game wasn't due for release for almost a year!

Judging from the situation, these six so-called "root artifacts" should be the most crucial items in the entire game. It should be about how Sun Wukong's reincarnation finds these six root artifacts and is then resurrected!

"These are the things I drew after I died: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and body," Sun Wukong said.

"Why are there only five items? Weren't you supposed to have six?" Rod asked.

"This sixth root artifact is placed in Flower Fruit Mountain, supposedly at the behest of the Great Sage," the horse-headed man said.

"Hehe! That thing on Flower Fruit Mountain is just the physical body that turned into something after I died. In fact, it has no meaning at all."

"Rather than saying there are six root talents, it's more accurate to say there are only five. Here's the thing," Sun Wukong said.

His soul will indeed be reincarnated, but his will has already disappeared. It should have disappeared at the moment of death. Therefore, his plan with Erlang Shen Yang Jian was to make his will live on forever, so he stored his memories with Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

Only when one's reincarnation meets the requirements, collects the other five root systems, and passes Yang Jian's test, will one regain their memories and be reborn as an immortal fetus.

But now the plan seems to have gone wrong. He was actually saved by these two people using supernatural powers he had never seen before, and his soul was completely restored.

Therefore, there is no need to store the memories with Yang Jian.

Now, as long as he retrieves his five root artifacts and returns to the place where his fossilized body was created, he can regain his former power.

Sun Wukong told Luo De all of his and Yang Jian's plans without hiding anything from him.

After all, the two people in front of him were far more powerful than he could ever imagine, and there was nothing to hide from them.
