The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

Almost at the same moment, the birth of the stone monkey shook the entire Thirty-Three Heavens, and the Lingxiao Palace even began to tremble, a rare occurrence.

However, this was not an ordinary shaking, but rather an impact on the heavenly realm, causing instability.

"This little stone monkey actually possesses such abilities?"

The Jade Emperor's pupils turned towards Flower Fruit Mountain, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "It seems the West is about to rise to greatness, and the day of great decline for my Heavenly Court has arrived..."

After thinking for a moment, He said to the many gods of Heaven, "In order to preserve the fortune of Heaven, I plan to descend to the mortal realm again to undergo tribulation, so as to conform to the development of the Heavenly Way and one day the East will rise again."

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

The gods hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "The West is about to flourish. If Your Majesty descends to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations, wouldn't that be allowing Western Buddhism to run rampant?"

The True Martial Emperor's face was cold and stern: "Your Majesty, our Heavenly Court is busy with war, and the north is still not stable."

Venus said anxiously, "The Heavenly Court cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Moreover, the fortunes of the East and West are changing drastically. If Your Majesty goes to undergo the tribulation, the fortunes of the East will probably suffer a great calamity during this great tribulation."

The Jade Emperor frowned and looked at the Queen Mother beside him, asking, "What does Your Majesty think?"

"When yin prevails over yang, and one waxes while the other wanes, this is the law of nature."

The Queen Mother sighed softly: "It is inevitable that my Heavenly Court will decline after reaching its peak, but the length of its rise and fall is uncertain and depends entirely on Your Majesty's decision."

"Your Majesty, I believe this matter is not solely due to the stone monkey."

Just then, Laozi, on the left, frowned and reported, looking down at the mortal realm and waving his whisk:

"No matter how powerful that stone is, it has only just been born. How can it possibly impact the destiny of my Heavenly Court if it has no special abilities?"

He gazed at the earth: "This old minister fears there is more to the story."

  

Is there more to the story?

After these words, everyone fell silent. Now that the world is settled, could there really be anyone who still covets the position of the ruler of the three realms?

That stone monkey? Ridiculous.

The Jade Emperor smiled and shook his head: "I will leave behind an avatar to govern the operation of the Three Realms, while my true body will go to undergo tribulations so that my Heavenly Court may prosper as soon as possible."

He simply sat cross-legged, his figure still on the dragon throne, but his aura suddenly weakened.

All the gods bowed their heads in unison in praise: "In the Jade Emperor's Golden Palace, who is deeply moved by the virtues of the earth, and who has endured 1,750 kalpas..."

The divine sound resounded throughout the heavens, reaching all the way to the Great Thunderclap Temple in the west.

"Amitabha."

Above the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Buddha chanted: "The Jade Emperor has descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations. This time, it will take another 129,600 years before he can achieve perfect enlightenment."

"Now that our Western religion is flourishing, the person destined to face the calamity has been born, and the Goddess Nuwa is watching over their rise and fall."

"The destiny of Daxing has been established, everything is ready, and we can begin the eastward transmission."

He lowered his Buddha-like eyes: "Is Guanyin here?"

"Disciple is here." Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped forward.

Is Jin Chan present?

A Buddha stepped forward and replied, "Your disciple is here as well."

"Your merits and deeds are both perfected, and you can become the one who brings great prosperity to the West."

The Buddha's gaze lingered on them: "If they return from this tribulation, they will have the opportunity to advance further, and achieving Great Enlightenment will not be a pipe dream."

"You two can discuss it yourselves and decide who should take the lead and who should assist."

Those who dominate the position are likely to attain the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal, while those who play a supporting role will certainly not receive such good treatment.

Jin Chanzi took a step back and laughed, "When I become a Buddha, I will surely give the position to Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Guanyin shook her head: "I once made a great vow, the Great Compassion Repentance, and twelve great vows."

"A thousand prayers will be answered in a thousand places; I will always be a boat to ferry people across the sea of ​​suffering. If my great vows are not fulfilled and the Great Way is not proven, then taking another step forward is of no use to me."

"Jin Chanzi, you possess Buddha-nature, and are therefore most suited to greatly promote the Western Paradise."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi chanted "Amitabha," then sat down cross-legged, lowered his head, and passed away peacefully.

"What a waste of such a fine body."

The Arhat Subduing Dragon immediately tiptoed forward and shouted to the Buddha, "The Golden Cicada is an innate form from the Bodhi tree; it would be a waste to discard it. Why don't we share it?"

Upon hearing this, the Buddha glanced at Jianglong and sighed, "Your lustful thoughts have already sown the seeds of future calamities, and you will inevitably face a tribulation."

Maitreya Buddha laughed loudly: "You, Dragon Subduer, dare to say such a thing? Perhaps you need to become a beggar to resolve this greed, hahaha."

Jianglong wasn't angry and said with a sigh, "So be it if I'm a beggar. My brothers will help me."

He looked toward the Arhat's side, and the seventeen brothers, upon hearing this, immediately bowed their heads and began chanting scriptures, as if they had nothing to do with subduing the dragon.

The Buddha smiled without saying a word, slowly raising his eyes and looking to the left.

"Dilthankara Buddha, did you foresee any changes?"

He lit the lamp but did not answer; he only chanted Amitabha Buddha's name.

"I see it, I see it!" Maitreya Buddha laughed loudly again, "Would the Tathagata like to hear it?"

"If I listen, you will be the Buddha now."

The Buddha ignored him, and simply rose slowly and disappeared from the Great Thunderclap Temple.

He felt a vague unease, a premonition that something unexpected was about to happen and that he would be unable to control himself, so he wanted to seek confirmation from his teacher.

…………

At the same time, Chen Geng arrived in Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

"Thank you for being with me along the way."

Chen Geng plucked a strand of his own hair and gave it to the merchant, saying, "If you ever encounter trouble, this strand of hair can save your life."

The merchant was puzzled, but he still took the hair.

Strangely enough, the hair disappeared as soon as it entered his hand; it was probably blown away by the wind.

"Liu Ji!"

A shout came from afar; it was his mother, yelling, "Did you lose money again this time? Aren't you coming back to do farm work?!"

Liu Ji hurriedly set off, calling out, "Mother, don't worry, Third Brother is coming, he's coming right now!"

As Chen Geng walked through Xianyang, the most conspicuous thing along the roadside was the rows of public toilets.

Occasionally, soldiers would pass by, but he paid them no heed, his mind solely focused on finding a way to reach Xiniu Hezhou.

After Cui Jue learned about this, he asked him why he didn't go to Li Shuangyan.

"Li Shuangyan frequently visits the Spring and Autumn Mythology, where she wields considerable power."

It's Li Shuangyan again.

Chen Geng knew that he had taken her travel permit, and that this was the cause of the problem, so he acquiesced to Cui Jue calling Li Shuangyan.

"Chen Geng!"

In less than half an hour, Li Shuangyan arrived here and immediately spotted Chen Geng in Xianyang.

"I want to go to Xiniu Hezhou, Fangcun Mountain."

Chen Geng handed the travel permit to Li Shuangyan; he had already memorized the Taoist aura.

"This is... a reward from my system." Li Shuangyan's eyes brightened. "Brother Chen, are you planning to give me a boost?"

"I guess so."

More than ten minutes later, they boarded a steam train bound for Xiniuhezhou.

Surprisingly, the train was bustling with people, and there were quite a few of them.

"Myths from the end of the Zhou Dynasty onwards are all interconnected."

Li Shuangyan explained: "We learned from Tang Dynasty mythology that there are many powerful beings in Xiniu Hezhou, so many people want to go there to seek immortality."

On this train happened to be a large number of the transmigrators selected by the opening of Kinmen.

Yes, Kinmen also chose this myth this year. Chen Geng was suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence?

However, since I am here, those who were meant to attain enlightenment have already done so, and even the Great Luo Saints have emerged, there should be nothing to worry about.

Little did he know that when the travel permit for Fangcun Mountain was handed to Li Shuangyan, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face opened his eyes in the Sanxing Cave of Xiniu Hezhou.
