The protagonist in this game is a bit crazy.

Chapter 41 Monkey: Bald donkey! You dare mention the East China Sea?

The Path to Immortality!

Bald!

Imperial surname!

Goodness, Ryze has collected almost every buff related to monkeys.

Currently, all that's missing for the monkey to unleash its full potential is probably a stable boy.

If this matter had been handled by someone else...

Even if it were Lianfeng who came to handle it, things probably wouldn't be like this now.

Seeing the golden cudgel that was practically aimed straight at his forehead, Ryze suppressed the urge to run away and explained:

"Great Sage, please calm down for now."

"I know you still harbor resentment about what happened in the East Sea back then, but Lena is just a child."

Fourteen hundred years ago, the Heavenly Regent Pan Zhen led his army to invade the land of China.

Monkey bravely faced Pan Zhen's massive army alone.

The battle dragged on without a clear winner, neither side willing to back down.

Pan Zhen ordered the bombing of seven cities in the East China Sea.

When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?

The coast of the East China Sea was a scene of utter devastation.

Pan Zhen thought this would make the monkey admit defeat.

But the monkey refused to back down, determined to fight him to the death.

Faced with the monkey that refused to back down, Pan Zhen had no choice but to follow Dukao's advice and retreat.

Pan Zhen and his accomplices packed up and left, but who still remembers the wronged souls of the East China Sea?

The once prosperous coastline of the East China Sea has been reduced to a place of widespread suffering and devastation.

After that battle, every household hung white mourning clothes.

After that battle, every household hung white silk ribbons.

Someone told the monkey that it was wrong, that it shouldn't have rebelled against them, and that it shouldn't have disregarded the lives and deaths of the common people.

But the monkey felt it was right and that it should resist!

The monkey admitted that it was his resistance that led to the destruction of families and deaths among the people of the seven cities.

But what will happen if we don't resist?

The Way of Heaven hangs high in the sky!

Kyushu has no future!

Men are slaves for generations!

Daughters are prostitutes generation after generation!

Isn't this situation even more terrifying than the deaths of the people of the seven cities?

Perhaps some people think these are just outrageous delusions.

The key point is that those guys who call themselves the Heavenly Dao have never treated the people of the Nine Provinces as human beings!

They were high and mighty, and in their eyes, the people of Kyushu were not even as good as inhuman beasts!

Simply because livestock do not resist.

"East China Sea. East China Sea"

Ryze's words seemed to evoke memories of the past in the monkey.

The monkey lowered its head, gripping the iron rod in its hand, and muttered to itself:

"In the blink of an eye, fourteen hundred years have passed."

"Seven cities, the people of Kyushu in the seven cities."

The monkey raised its head, suddenly shook its iron rod, and roared angrily:

"Bald monk! You dare mention the East Sea to me, Old Sun?!"

"Where were you when Heaven invaded? Where were you when the East Sea was destroyed? Where were you when the common people wept in anguish?!"

"Tell me, where were you all back then? Huh?!"

"The Great Sage."

Seeing the monkey suddenly go berserk, Ryze was about to say something.

But the monkey's eyes turned red, and he gripped the iron rod tightly, shouting:

"So noisy!"

"For the past 1,400 years, I, Old Sun, have never had a good night's sleep."

"I, Old Sun, chant scriptures day and night, solely to deliver the countless wronged souls from the seven cities of the East Sea."

As the monkey spoke, it once again lowered its proud head, but the hand gripping the iron rod silently spoke of the anger in its heart.

"But this blood debt cannot be settled simply by chanting scriptures."

"The billowing smoke over the coast of the East China Sea still chokes me, an old man, and brings tears to my eyes."

The monkey's voice was extremely low, but even the lowest voice couldn't suppress the raging fire in its heart.

Looking at that lone figure, everyone in the Super Soldier Company present felt a sense of fear.

They don't understand what happened back then, let alone the suppressed anger in the monkey's heart.

However, they could sense that the Great Sage's current state was extremely unstable.

Once they go berserk, they will all be physically exorcised by that iron rod.

"One day, one day I, Old Sun, will rise up against the Heavenly Dao."

"At that time, I will surely use the blood of Heaven to appease the wronged souls of the seven cities of the East Sea."

"Believe me, Old Sun, that day is not far off."

The monkey was laughing, but the laughter sent a chill down everyone's spine.

In the past, the monkey might have just suppressed his anger.

Even if they felt resentful, they wouldn't say it in front of so many people.

Although the monkey was confident that it could destroy the Heavenly Way, it was also worried about the Heavenly Way's dying counterattack.

Although I will be unharmed by then, the Nine Provinces will not be able to withstand the backlash from Heaven.

Thus, the monkey could only suppress its anger.

Thus, the monkey could only be on guard.

Who told the monkey to have nine provinces that need protection?

Who told the monkey to have seeds that needed tending?

But now, things are very different from before, with many constraints.

The seeds have already sprouted, and a temporary counterattack is no longer a threat.

The path to immortality has returned to the mortal world, and I have already laid the foundation for that path.

The monkey, who was already confident of dismantling the Heavenly Dao, became even more fearless after continuing his path to immortality.

If the timing weren't so bad, monkeys wouldn't be on Earth anymore.

They went straight to where Heaven's will was, destroying homes, wiping out mouths and leaving no one alive.

If it were another civilization, the monkey might not have gone so far as to kill them.

But Heaven, or rather, the blazing sun, owes this blood debt for 1,400 years.

Fourteen hundred years—that's the lifespan of countless ordinary people.

Faced with the monkey's rage, no one dared to utter a sound.

They were afraid that they might accidentally anger the volatile Monkey King.

Seeing the silent crowd, Qi Lin stood up and walked to the front of them.

Looking at the monkey with bloodshot eyes, gripping the iron rod tightly but not harming anyone, Qi Lin bowed deeply.

"Great Sage, you've worked hard all these years."

Although she didn't know what happened 1,400 years ago, Qi Lin, a former police officer, could sense the anger in the monkey's heart.

This anger did not stem from any one person.

Rather, it was born because of the entire Kyushu!

Qi Lin's actions startled the members of the Super Soldier Squad, but they quickly followed suit and bowed as well.

Looking at the crowd before him, Monkey took a deep breath; pressing down the raised golden cudgel, he said in a deep voice to Ryze:

"For the sake of this girl, I, Old Sun, will give you one more chance to explain."

"This is the only time; you'd better explain yourself clearly to me, Old Sun!"

Seeing the golden cudgel that had been temporarily put down, Ryze quickly explained:

"Great Sage, Lena is unaware of these things you are talking about."

"She came to Earth solely to help defend it against an interstellar invasion."

"She herself is only in her early twenties, which is still considered a child even on Earth."

Hearing Ryze's words, Monkey said indifferently:

"Is that really true?"

"Is that really true? Ryze would never dare to deceive you, Great Sage."

Meeting the monkey's questioning gaze, Ryze nodded decisively.

According to their previous plan, the monkey should not have reacted so strongly.

Faced with an interstellar invasion, even if the monkeys don't cooperate, they shouldn't bother them.

For Kyushu, defending against interstellar invasion is the top priority.

But now, he's not quite sure what's going on with the monkey.

Fortunately, Lena's purpose in coming here was simple.

Looking at Ryze, who had been bitten to death, the monkey pondered for a moment and said again:

"Let's leave this matter aside for now, but how do you explain what happened earlier?"
