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

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.

"Great Sage Grandpa! 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.

"Hahaha! I think I understand now. If I hadn't interfered, this black monkey would have completed your mission and become you. But because of my interference, you were resurrected, and then this black monkey disappeared," Rhodes asked.

"That's how it is. But this black monkey is also me, the reincarnation of my soul. It's just that after reincarnation, he is me, but I am not him," Sun Wukong said.

"If what you say is true, then after being resurrected, will you still be you? Or will you be a different person? Let another monkey inherit everything from you!" Rhodes asked.

Reincarnation, reincarnation, will you still be you after reincarnation?

Rhodes thought this was highly unreliable, as reincarnation would completely alter one's personality and even cognition.

This is different from Athena's reincarnation. After Athena was reincarnated, she was still herself, remembered everything from the mythological era, and held an absolutely dominant position.

Compared to Sun Wukong's current state, if it weren't for his and Azeroth's intervention, using the power of the Law of Death to repair his soul, this monkey would be completely dead.

"."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong fell silent, unsure of what to say. He opened his mouth but no words came out.

"Hehehe! You monkey have lost all the courage you once had to cause trouble in the heavens. You are committing suicide."

Moreover, it's the kind of refusal to be resurrected. You've handed over all your burdens, all your grudges, all your missions to another monkey, choosing to die and end it all. You're desperate, utterly desperate," Rhodes said.

Hearing this, Sun Wukong was speechless, because Rod was right, he, Sun Wukong, was indeed in despair.

His past rampage in Heaven had made him arrogant and fearless, until he was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha for a full five hundred years.

He suddenly realized that he was nothing, just an ordinary stone monkey, and his strength was no match for those powerful beings.

So when Guanyin Bodhisattva first passed by the Five Elements Mountain, he asked Guanyin Bodhisattva for help, hoping that she would let him go, as he already knew he was wrong.

The Bodhisattva agreed, but how could the monkey's personality be restrained? So he deliberately killed a group of bandits in front of Tang Sanzang, and then made Tang Sanzang drive him away, wanting to return to Flower Fruit Mountain to live a carefree life.

But the Buddha of the Western Paradise was always one step ahead of him, putting that golden headband on him and teaching him a harsh lesson. What followed was actually a disaster for Tang Sanzang.

But wasn't it also Sun Wukong's fault? He was forced to become a henchman of Mount Ling, killing countless demons, and his reputation in the demon realm was ruined overnight.

Sun Wukong, one of the seven great saints of the demon race, became Sun Xingzhe of the Buddhist sect.

In the end, it even led to the destruction of his elder brother's family. At the time, he thought he was right, that only in this way could Lao Niu's family be happy and healthy, but reality slapped him in the face.

He went to the Western Paradise, escorted Tang Sanzang to the Western Paradise, obtained the true scriptures, and completed his mission. But in the end, he did not return to Flower Fruit Mountain to live a carefree life. Instead, he was dressed in Buddhist robes and became a Buddha of Mount Ling.

I have no power to resist it, no matter how hard I try or how much I struggle, I cannot change that vague and uncertain destiny.

The golden headband was firmly on his head, and he could never remove it as long as he lived.

So he and Yang Jian devised a plan: he would sacrifice his physical body in exchange for the eternal existence of his will, so that the name of Sun Wukong could be passed down.

It's like the positions of the gods in the Heavenly Court remain unchanged, but the gods who hold those positions are not the same people.

He could finally pass on his title of Sun Wukong to others, and be freed from this hopeless world.

"Alright, now's not the time for small talk. Great Sage, you already possess one of your innate talents. The second one should be in the hands of Great Sage Yellow Wind. Let's go find him and get it," the horse-headed man said.

In his eyes, Sun Wukong was a first-rate hero, just like his king, a truly upright and honorable man.

"What's the rush? This isn't urgent. The Great Sage Yellow Wind can't escape. Let's talk about the monkey first. If we don't resolve this issue, the monkey is doomed," Rod said.

I can finally have some fun in this world. After all, this isn't the original Journey to the West or the prehistoric era; it's an adapted version. If it were the prehistoric era, I would have liked to leave.

The power of a sage, capable of destroying the heavens and earth and knowing the past and future, is naturally beyond his ability to contend with; it is at least at the level of the multiverse.

However, in the original Journey to the West, as well as in other adaptations, the fighting power is not so broken that it destroys the world. At most, splitting a mountain and creating a celestial being is considered a great supernatural power.

If I were to raise my soul level here, then consume the fruit of primordial divine power, and become a primordial god, then my strength would absolutely be the strongest, without exception.

Moreover, he still possesses the residual divine power of an absolute god!

So this monkey in front of him piqued Rhodes' interest. Perhaps this time he could pull off something big, cause some trouble! Cause some trouble!

"I will find my original essence and save Brother Niu, but I don't know what to do after that," Sun Wukong said.

Rebellion against Heaven again? Ha! If it were possible, he and Erlang Shen would have done it long ago. He wanted to kill Buddha and the Jade Emperor, and Erlang Shen also wanted to kill the Jade Emperor.

They could even bring Nezha, the Third Prince, into the fold, because he wanted to kill his father, and they could also turn many of the gods in Heaven against their own side.

For example, there's the Kui Mulang, and the Green Ox Demon, the mount of Laozi.

Moreover, with Brother Niu rallying the troops, a group of experts from the demon race could come, but so what? Could they really defeat the Heavenly Court or Mount Ling?

If Heaven can kill me once, it can kill me a second time, a third time, even if it takes my elder brother Bull Demon King and a bunch of other demon kings with it.

With Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Nezha added in, it only required the people in the Heavenly Palace to exert a little effort.

He had seen through this long ago; they couldn't win, there was no hope of winning at all. The strength of the Heavenly Court and the strength of Mount Ling were simply beyond their ability to contend with.

He couldn't win! Going there would only increase casualties; otherwise, he wouldn't have put on an act with Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

Unless, unless a truly powerful being is willing to help him!

Thinking of this, the monkey glanced at Rod beside him. Who exactly was this person? His cultivation was probably comparable to that of the Buddha of the Western Paradise!

It could even completely repair one's own soul—a supernatural power that he had never dared to imagine before.

I'm still that little monkey, a bit like a frog in a well, unaware of how vast the world is!

Master is right. I will indeed cause a terrible disaster after leaving the sect.

"What are you looking at me for? You monkey, just say what you want to say! No need to beat around the bush," Rhodes said.

This monkey is quite clever, worthy of being called the Spirit Stone Monkey. It is precisely because it is so clever that it sees through many things. It was cuter when it first debuted, a naive and clueless kid.

"Hehe! I haven't asked yet, I haven't asked yet what your esteemed title is! You saved my life, I, Old Sun, thank you very much." The monkey immediately put on a smiling face and smiled at Rhodes as he spoke.

"My surname is Luo, my given name is De, and listen carefully to my title: I am the Great God Wutian!" Luo De said, stroking his chin.

This time, I'll play the role of Wutian!

However, I cannot be the Buddha Wutian, so I will be the Great God Wutian!

Then I'll stand in the Vulture Peak Temple and arrogantly say something to the Buddha.

Tathagata! Will you leave on your own, or shall I send you off?

Then they forcefully suppressed the Buddha, sending him to reincarnation, or overthrowing all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens.

"So it's the Great God Wutian! I, Old Sun, have long admired you." The monkey immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Rhodes and said.

The Great God Wutian! I've never heard of him, but that's quite a prestigious title.

Outrageous! Outrageous! Lawless!

Even I only dare to call myself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. This person must be a great master, probably not much worse than my master, Patriarch Bodhi.

Even stronger, because Wukong was very certain that even his teacher, Bodhi Patriarch, could not save him from his annihilation.

Now, only by becoming stronger can I control my own destiny. The only good news is that this resurrection allows me to break free from the control that has bound me.

If you want to become stronger and increase your strength, then isn't this person in front of you the best choice?

"You've heard so much about me? You've probably never even heard of me before!" Rod said.

I just came up with this name, and you've already heard so much about it!

"Hehe! Since you, Great God, have resurrected me, Old Sun, you must have something for me to do. What are your instructions?" the monkey said.

The horse-headed man stood aside, his mouth agape once again. Was this still the Great Sage he knew?

Are you still the same indomitable Monkey King?

Seeing this, the monkey rolled his eyes. What do you know, you idiot? I was just like this when I became a disciple. Otherwise, how could I have won my master's favor and been taught my most powerful skills?

If we can learn some powerful supernatural abilities from this person and increase our strength, we can resist this so-called destiny, rebel against Buddhism and Mount Ling, break free from their control, and live a carefree life from now on.

"I'm planning something big, but I won't tell you about it for now. You should find some roots for yourself first!" Rod said.

I will overturn Mount Ling, then the Heavenly Court, and then turn this world into my backyard.

This isn't a prehistoric version of Journey to the West. I fear no one, but I'm still missing a golden-armored war god under my command! You'll be the one! Sun Wukong.

As for all these gods and Buddhas, I'll take them all. The obedient ones will stay, and the disobedient ones will turn to ashes.

"Great God Wutian, you are right. Let's find my original potential first. It's just a pity that my strength is not enough now. I'm afraid my magic power is not enough to help you, Great God," the monkey said.

"Hehe! Let's go! Let's go see this yellow-haired weasel first. After you get your root artifact back and recover all your power, I'll teach you something powerful," Rod said.

Upon hearing this, the monkey immediately became overjoyed; he had made the right bet! (End of Chapter)
