All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

Zhe Xingsun actually knew that Chu Xuan's plan was not that simple, but he was too lazy to dig deeper. He only needed to know that Chu Xuan's plan would not harm him, and that was enough.

As for the reason, he had previously unlocked the third-order gene lock and tried to simulate Chu Xuan's thinking. Although he could not completely simulate it, the small part of Chu Xuan's thinking that he simulated made Zhe Xingsun certain that all of Chu Xuan's plans were now for the future of the Central Continent Team, so he stopped simulating it.

On the sixth day, the group went to Kayako's lair again, forcing Kayako to show herself, and Zhe Xingsun killed her with a single blow.

Zhe Xingsun can't even remember how many reward points and side quests he got, he only knows that the amount was quite large, and that's after he shared a portion of it with the other members of the Zhongzhou team.

After all, the other veterans of the Central Continent Team could barely handle the first few waves of Kayako's attacks with their individual abilities, and the subsequent waves could be dealt with by Zhe Xingsun.

In addition, something else happened on the sixth day: during the daytime, a heavy transport plane flew over the city, and then several large boxes fell down.

Chu Xuan walked over and inspected the box, opening and closing it again. He nodded to everyone and said, "That's right, there are five nuclear bombs already loaded inside. Don't move these nuclear bombs to the hotel yet; place them in nearby rooms. We'll move them into the hotel on the evening of the seventh day."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are these nuclear bombs safe? What if they're placed near us and suddenly explode while we're sleeping? In that case, our entire Zhongzhou team would be wiped out."

Even someone as strong-willed as Zheng Zha felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that nuclear bombs were to be placed near the rest area.

However, Chu Xuan calmly said, "These nuclear bombs are under very strict protection. To activate them, they must pass ten tests before there is any risk of explosion. Right now, these nuclear bombs haven't even passed the first test."

Zheng Zha said, "What I'm worried about isn't the accidental explosion of these nuclear bombs. I have a lot of confidence in the domestic industry. What I'm worried about is Kayako."

Chu Xuan said, "Kayako doesn't have the wisdom to unlock the nuclear test. The activation keys are all hidden in my mind, so don't worry."

The group managed to settle down, and by the evening of the sixth day, they were preparing to depart, each making their own preparations before leaving.

Zhe Xingsun carried the Buddha statue he found in the mortal world on his back, and Zheng Zha and the others also prepared their own supplies. The newlyweds split into two groups, one carrying Buddhist scriptures and the other carrying relics. They also carried some items that they had taken from the altar in the real world.

Although everyone was somewhat worried, at this point, no one had any more doubts.

As evening fell, in an instant, all the reincarnators in the hotel vanished. All the reincarnators stayed in places where the sunlight could reach, except for Zhe Xingsun, who hid alone behind the curtain.

In an instant, Zheng Zha felt as if he had traveled through two worlds. When he came to his senses, he found himself still in the hotel, but it was pitch black outside. The heavy darkness completely obscured his vision, and all Zhe Xingsun could see was a gloomy and dark place.

With a thud, Zhe Xingsun turned around and saw something falling from a high-rise building, crashing to the ground. Then, every ten seconds, there was a loud bang.

He went over and saw a human figure, smashed like a meat pie, leaping from the top of a tall building, falling repeatedly. He didn't know how long it had been going on there, but the flesh and bones were stuck together and the face was unrecognizable.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person is the newcomer who disappeared on the first day, and the world before them is the inner world.

However, after Zhe Xingsun stepped into this world, although he felt a slight chill, he was not attacked by any strange creatures. He glanced at the Buddha statue on his back and knew that it must be this thing protecting him.

Of course, this Buddha statue alone probably wouldn't last long. Zhe Xingsun could sense that the peaceful aura emanating from the Buddha statue was slowly dissipating.

He touched a precious pearl on his body, then immediately took action, transforming into a golden ape, leaping into the air, and quickly running towards the altar in the inner world.

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha, and others appeared at the hotel. Looking back, they could no longer see Zhe Xingsun, realizing that he had already entered the inner world.

Zheng Zha still had some worries in his heart, but he still said, "Chu Xuan, let's act quickly."

Chu Xuan said directly, "Then let's begin. Everyone, go to your respective positions. The array cores you carry will change rapidly. At this time, you must hold the objects firmly in your hands and not let them fall to the ground. Even if they accidentally fall, you must pick them up quickly."

Chu Xuan gave everyone a few final words of advice, and then they all set off on their own.

Before leaving, Zheng Zha looked at the backs of Chu Xuan, Li Shuaixi, and Arno, still with some worry, but ultimately said nothing.

The newcomers also took their own actions. In fact, there were a few veterans mixed in with the newcomers, such as Ba Wang, Ling Dian, and Zhang Jie. After all, each of them was in charge of a region, and such an important task could not be completely handed over to the newcomers.

Zhao Yingkong and Zhan Lan were also by her side.

As everyone arrived at their designated areas, they soon discovered that the items they carried from the real world were all emitting a soft glow, indicating that the entire operation was proceeding smoothly.

At this moment, in a corner of the city, where Chu Xuan, Li Shuaixi, and Arno were, Li Shuaixi looked at the halo around the short sword in Chu Xuan's hand and said, "It seems your plan is going quite smoothly."

Chu Xuan responded, "Because these are all results based on data analysis."

Li Shuaixi suddenly asked again, "Now that we've all entered the mortal world, how many of those newcomers will die in your plan?"

Chu Xuan remained calm, seemingly not intending to answer Li Shuaixi.

Li Shuaixi continued, "It seems you haven't even realized it yourself, but whenever you speak or act with ulterior motives, you avoid looking people in the eye. You appear calm on the surface, but you're not actually very good at lying; it's just that your usual cold expression serves as a disguise. Like now, when I ask you a question, your eyes slant slightly, indicating that you're afraid to look me directly. What, are those newcomers getting in your way again, so you're planning to wipe them all out?"

Hearing the other party's words, Chu Xuan pondered for a moment. After a while, he nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me of that. It seems I can practice more in front of the mirror in the future, so that I won't overlook anything when making plans. As for those newcomers you mentioned, I didn't mean to target them intentionally. However, even if I don't target them, the God will."

"This is a horror movie with a 20-player difficulty level, and the mission we're carrying out rewards everyone with a B-level side quest and 5,000 reward points upon completion. Although we've managed to get through the first few days safely thanks to Wukong, and not many newbies have died, the main god won't let us rack up points so easily, so many newbies will definitely die in this mission."

Li Shuaixi continued, "You're not pretending at all anymore, telling me all this so casually. It seems you're very confident, or rather, you intend to completely eliminate this troublesome me in this mission?"

Chu Xuan did not respond, but his expression seemed to indicate that he had tacitly agreed.

As Li Shuaixi finished speaking, Arno also gripped a longsword and slowly walked to the opposite side of Li Shuaixi.

Li Shuaixi didn't seem to intend to act immediately. Instead, he continued, "Actually, there are some things I've been keeping to myself for a long time. I just want to ask you, why were you so hostile towards me in the Alien World?"

After so much time, he had come to his senses. Back in the alien world, there must have been many other feasible plans besides the so-called decoy plan. Even if ordinary people couldn't think of them, Chu Xuan, with his intelligence, could definitely have. But he deliberately chose not to use those plans and only used the decoy plan. In the end, he even deliberately mentioned the hibernation pod in front of him.

In fact, all of these things were deliberately designed to lure him into acting according to Chu Xuan's plan, completely cutting off his possibility of returning to the Central Continent Team. The purpose of all of this was simply to target him.

Now that things had come to this, Chu Xuan no longer concealed anything and said directly, "Because you were too close to Sun Wukong back then and even brought up 'Journey to the West.' At that time, it was definitely not the right time to mention 'Journey to the West.' Your actions completely disrupted my plans. In order for the smooth progress of the plan, I can only temporarily exclude you."

Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, Li Shuaixi burst into laughter, saying, "Just because of this? I don't understand. What's wrong with bringing up Journey to the West? Do you think you can keep it from him forever? Even if you could, wouldn't the newcomers tell him? Or do you think every newcomer in the future will never mention Journey to the West in front of Sun Wukong? No wonder you wanted to ruin all those newcomers. It seems their actions have displeased you, haven't they?"

Hearing the other party's venting questioning, Chu Xuan could only shake his head slightly and say, "That's not the case. I didn't intentionally target any newcomers in this mission. As for Wukong, he has already read Journey to the West. The reason I didn't let him read it beforehand is because I couldn't be sure if there was a possibility of temporarily returning to the real world from the Main God Space."

"I heard Zheng Zha and the others mention before that it's possible to spend reward points to return to the horror movie worlds we've been to before, which means that returning to reality is also a possibility. If Sun Wukong returned to the real world during a break in the mission, and if he had found Bodhi Patriarch or other Buddhist or Taoist immortals willing to take him as a disciple, could the immortals, with their strength, have severed the connection between Sun Wukong and the Samsara World, allowing him to return briefly and not return to the Main God Space? I can't be sure about that, at least at that time."

"So if you bring up Journey to the West in advance, it might disrupt my plans and cause Sun Wukong to leave prematurely because of the immortals, Buddhas, and Taoists that may exist in the Journey to the West world. Even I only brought up the story of Journey to the West after confirming in the Main God Space that returning to reality would require a D-level side quest and after using up all of Wukong's D-level side quests."

Li Shuaixi sneered, "What, aren't you afraid that Sun Wukong will return to the world of Journey to the West now? After this mission is over, Sun Wukong will definitely get more than one D-level side quest. It will be an easy thing for him to go back."

Chu Xuan said, "That's because I'm now certain that even if Wukong goes back, he will return. The Journey to the West world he's in isn't any of the fan-made versions of Journey to the West that I previously guessed, but rather closer to the original, which is the worldview of Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West. The Sun Wukong in that world is less a spiritual stone monkey and more like a restless monkey, the restless monkey that needs to be subdued in the path of cultivation."
