The protagonist in this game is a bit crazy.

Chapter 228 Monkey: Seeking immortality, yet abandoning it.

With the general direction finalized, the meeting was adjourned.

After receiving instructions and arrangements from the monkey, Huang Lao and others who attended the meeting did not dare to neglect their duties.

A phone call connected directly to the Supreme Command with an important report, prompting all surviving fighter jets of the Tianhe Military Region to scramble in formation.

Direct access!

North Star Military Airport.

The moment the fighter jets took off, the Tianhe Military Region simultaneously sounded the alarm.

As the highest level of combat readiness was sounded in the barracks, cracks quietly appeared in the dark clouds overhead.

If it were another military region, it would naturally need to receive a notification from the Supreme Command before it could activate the highest level of combat readiness.

However, the Tianhe Military Region is different. The existence of the Super God Academy gives Tianhe many unique privileges.

Being in a state of first-level combat readiness is one of the privileges granted to the Tianhe Military Region by the Supreme Command.

If necessary, Tianhe is granted special permission to act first and report later, displaying a thousand blossoms at night.

The Milky Way contains the largest number and most powerful mushroom clouds in the entire Kyushu region.

I may not be able to achieve the same level of deterrence.

But! I am determined to go to the underworld with you.

Even if it means bearing eternal infamy, we will not allow a scoundrel to steal the country.

"The entire Heavenly River Army has assembled. Please, Great Sage, issue your battle orders."

Hearing the liaison officer, who had been temporarily brought in to act as his deputy, Monkey waved his hand and turned to Old Sa, one of the meeting participants, and said:

"Little Sa, I, Old Sun, only have one request."

"Since this is a competition for the entire army, let's not make any exceptions."

"Can you guarantee me, Old Sun, that fairness and impartiality are truly guaranteed?"

"Great Sage, please rest assured."

Faced with the monkey's question, Old Sa answered decisively without hesitation:

"This all-army competition was absolutely fair and just."

"That's good"

After seeing the monkey nod, Old Sa asked with a hint of worry:

"Great Sage, you know this time is different from the past; although we can guarantee the fairness and impartiality of the competition, there are still those hidden rats..."

"These rats can be handed over to me, Old Sun, when the time comes."

Monkey waved his hand dismissively, completely ignoring Old Sa's concerns.

No matter how well a mouse hides, it can't escape the Great Sage's fiery eyes.

In the past, the Great Sage might have turned a blind eye.

But today, the Great Sage will pull out as many as he has!

After receiving a response from the monkey, Old Sa was overjoyed and then pulled the liaison officer outside.

After everyone else left, only the two loafing around remained in the tent.

Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, Monkey took the initiative to bring up the topic and asked:

"You seem to have something on your mind ever since the meeting ended."

"Come on, tell me what you think, Old Sun?"

Su Chen looked up at the monkey who had initiated the conversation, pondered for a moment, and then spoke softly:

"I want to know why the rats in the army would make you so concerned about them."

"On the contrary, the Taoist priest you call a 'bull's nose' has never been mentioned."

"This one?"

Before the meeting, the monkey personally cleaned up the two mice.

During the meeting, Huang Lao and others repeatedly worried that the Dharma would fall into the hands of rats.

However, Huang Lao and the others agreed to spread the story of the old Taoist priest with the ox nose mentioned by the monkey without even asking him.

The difference before and after inevitably sparks the imagination.

Hearing Su Chen's question, the monkey chuckled and said:

"It's not that I, Old Sun, deliberately didn't mention it, but there's simply no rat among those bulls."

"How should I put it?"

"This is a long story."

The monkey sighed deeply, a hint of reminiscence on his face, and said:

"Years ago, I, Old Sun, was traveling through the sand dunes when I encountered a man."

"When I first met him, that man was already beyond saving."

"Even as that person was nearing the end of his life, he still longed for immortality."

"I, Old Sun, remember his merits throughout the land, so I transformed into an immortal and descended to the mortal realm to converse with him."

"That man begged me, Old Sun, pleading with me to grant him immortality."

Hearing the monkey's words filled with emotion, Su Chen subconsciously asked:

"You refused?"

"without!"

"So that means you agree?"

"Not even that!"

The monkey gently shook its head, gave a wry smile, and slowly said:

Faced with the man's desperate pleas, I, Old Sun, gave him two options.

"To live another life free from illness and disaster, and to feed the people of the world."

Hearing the monkey's words, Su Chen almost subconsciously blurted out:

"July, Bingyin year."

"I, Old Sun, originally thought that those who were desperately trying to survive would definitely choose the former."

"However, I, Old Sun, underestimated that person."

The monkey shook its head, sighed deeply, and after letting out another bitter laugh, said:

"I, Old Sun, told him that the seedlings that will fill the bellies of all the people under heaven are on this land."

"But I, Old Sun, am bound by the rules of the immortals and cannot personally hand it over to him."

"If you wish to obtain it, the descendants of Kyushu must seek it out themselves."

"At this point, I, Old Sun, will allow him to make a new choice."

"But who would have thought..."

The monkey looked up at the sky and said in a low voice:

"He would rather entrust the search for the seed to future generations than lose the seed by living another life."

"I, Old Sun, have been entrusted by him to spread the word about the search for the seed after the world is at peace."

"After that, this group of old Taoist priests appeared in the world."

"This group of old Taoist priests traveled the world in search of seeds under the guise of discussing the Tao."

"I have searched the world for over a thousand years, hoping not to fail that dying person's request."

The monkey suddenly turned around and said to Su Chen with a smile:

"I am not greedy for power, wealth, or fame; my only wish in this life is not to fail the one who entrusted me with this task on his deathbed."

"Although those rats initially considered infiltrating, there was really no profit to be gained from these old Taoist priests."

"Now the people of Kyushu no longer suffer from hunger, and these Taoist priests are hiding in the mountains to cultivate their Tao."

"Do you think there might be rats lurking among these cows?"

"this."

Now, Su Chen finally understood why the monkey was so confident.

Although the rats nested and laid their eggs everywhere, they still decided to eat them based on the location.

Faced with such a group of Taoist priests who offer no profit, even a rat would probably shed a few tears before leaving.

"Even if rats might appear in the future, they definitely won't appear at this point in time."

The monkey patted Su Chen on the shoulder and said with a confident smile:

"Even you and I only decided to include this group of old Taoist priests on a whim."

"I, Old Sun, refuse to believe that something I came up with on a whim could be predicted by those rats in the gutter."

"Great Sage! It's best not to speak too confidently."

No sooner had the monkey finished speaking than a faint voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

Upon hearing the sound, the monkey suddenly turned around and looked out of the tent with a fierce glint in its eyes.

Suddenly, Lianfeng was already standing quietly outside the curtain.

Meeting the monkey's fierce gaze, Lianfeng stepped in with a formulaic smile; after standing in the tent, she bowed and said:

"Although the Great Sage and the Master only made this decision on a whim, it doesn't prevent others from making a few extra moves."

"Lianfeng advises you to be cautious."
