Great Demon Sun Wukong

Gently wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Sun Wukong suddenly looked up to the heavens and let out a long sigh. Why must I and my four disciples endure so many hardships? Now that I think about it, the five of us, disciples of Sun Wukong, can really be said to be constantly experiencing all sorts of tribulations. Take Sun Wukong, for instance. The uproar in the Heavenly Palace was a tribulation; he single-handedly resisted the million-strong celestial army all by himself. The five hundred years under the Five Elements Mountain was a tribulation, enduring the warmth and coldness of the world alone. How could those five centuries of solitude have been easy to bear?

The journey to the Western Paradise to obtain scriptures was a tribulation, how much helpless suffering did the eighty-one trials add to Sun Wukong’s life? He had to personally slay one demon kin after another, watching those insignificant demons and monsters who couldn’t even withstand a single finger from him being ridden on by the full array of Heavenly Gods because of what lay behind them, and watching his brothers from the past become the rides of others. Knowing well the malicious intentions of those deities, he still had to greet them with a smile, bearing all the humiliation, misunderstanding, and injustice alone, without a single word of complaint, while still maintaining the most innocent of smiles.

Achieving Buddhahood as the Fighting Victory Buddha upon reaching the Western Paradise was a tribulation, as a member of the Demon Clan he had to endure the agony of being purified by Buddha’s power, his demon Qi being transformed by Buddhist law day and night, such pain almost stripping his soul away, yet his face had to remain calm. If he hadn’t fled Spiritual Mount at the last moment, perhaps after a while longer, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven of the Demon Clan would have become a Buddha of Buddhism.

Leading the remaining demon kin in a counterattack against the Heavenly Palace was a tribulation; countless comrades died in battle. Sha Wujing also became untraceable, and the last victory was snatched away by Buddhism. The great demon army that had been so hard to gather was shattered, with the Demon Clan nearly facing extinction. Then searching for the remaining Five-Colored Divine Stones was torment, delving deep into the Extreme Northern Ice Field. Although he succeeded in obtaining the Water Attribute Divine Stone, Master Sanzang died as a result. His big brother, the Bull Demon King, is still frozen in the far north now, his life or death unknown.

The final unparalleled great battle was a tribulation, the last strong members of the Demon Clan were almost completely annihilated. For the continuation of the Demon Clan, these ancestors, who had already been in hiding, opened the path forward for Sun Wukong with their lives, and he himself developed a tremendous feud with Zhu Bajie. Even so, in the end, he was defeated by Chang’er, an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, with a single palm strike.

Then coming to the Netherworld World as a soul was a tribulation, from the moment he arrived here, Sun Wukong dared not slack off an instant, using all his time to cultivate like mad and seek ways to increase his own strength. Because he wanted to return to the Pangu Realm, no matter how difficult it was, he had to go back. There lay his Flower Fruit Mountain, his monkey tribe, and many of the most important people in his life. That’s why he kept fighting desperately.

Even now, everything he did was, in essence, to ensure his own survival. As long as he lived, once the trial of the Patrolling Celestial World was over, he still had hope of returning to the Pangu Realm. But now it was different, he not only needed to survive but also needed to ensure Sha Wujing survived with him and bring him back to the Pangu Realm intact. Otherwise, he would have no face to see Master and Bajie again in the Nine Springs.

And, there was the little White Dragon and little Peach. Now among the five disciples, only the little White Dragon knows nothing of these things. And thinking of this, Sun Wukong’s heart suddenly gave rise to a thought. Is Sha Wujing still a person from the Ancient Primordial World now? According to the rules of the Patrolling Celestial World, once the Ancient Primordial World is completely eliminated, Sha Wujing would be sent back to the Ancient Primordial World. If that were the case, how difficult would it be for him to see Sha Wujing again?

Not to mention the vast universe and how he could find the Ancient Primordial World, even if he found it, could he successfully locate Sha Wujing and leave with him? The answer is obviously impossible. Not to mention other things, the fact that the Ultimate Water Stele of Sha Wujing alone means the Domain Lord of the Ancient Primordial World would definitely not let Sha Wujing leave the Ancient Primordial World again. As he thought this, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but shudder with fright, thankful that he had thought of this. Otherwise, if he had directly activated the World Suppressing Stele of the Ancient Primordial World at that time, he would have wished he could die.

Sitting at the entrance of the tent like this, pondering the past while considering the path ahead, another Chinese hour had gone by without him realizing it. Just when Sun Wukong was starting to get restless and thinking about going in to check, the tent curtain was suddenly opened a crack and the little monkey came out, looking exhausted, and said to Sun Wukong, "Rest for seven days, and he will wake up after seven days. As to how much memory he will recover, I can’t guarantee it. But certain things deep in his memory will definitely come back. Alright, I’m going to rest now, this job really isn’t for humans. Oh, right, I’m not human, I’m a monkey, heh heh." Sun Wukong had wanted to say some words of thanks, but before he could speak, he swallowed them back down, seeing the look of relief in the little monkey’s eyes.

In fact, in the little monkey’s heart, didn’t he feel a profound debt to Sun Wukong, to Flower Fruit Mountain, to the entire Monkey Tribe and even the Demon Clan? That’s why he spared no effort in helping Sha Wujing recover his memory, for repairing a damaged soul and restoring memories that had become fragments is unimaginably difficult. Watching the little monkey head towards the three gorillas’ location, Sun Wukong felt moved.

Just then, a flame suddenly circled around Sun Wukong, followed by a very annoying voice, "Yo, Great Saint, what’s wrong with you today? Crying? Aiyo, aiyo, hurry up..." Before the voice could finish, Sun Wukong turned around and kicked Flame God’s butt. Then, Flame God turned back into a flame and flew off into the distance, his indignant voice still lingering in the air, "Stinky monkey, wait for me, one day I’ll beat you up good and proper!"

Snickering, the mood Sun Wukong had just been in was perfectly stashed away. But before he could go in and check on Sha Wujing, Xi Zhao suddenly called out to Sun Wukong with a grave expression from another tent’s entrance, "Monkey, come over, I have something important to discuss with you." Seeing Xi Zhao’s expression, Sun Wukong knew it must be serious. So, the hand that had already lifted the tent’s curtain let it go instead, and then he entered the tent where Xi Zhao was. @@novelbin@@

Upon entering, Sun Wukong saw Xi Zhao, Zhibei, He Tu, and Ghost Jade all present. Without any pleasantries, Sun Wukong sat down and asked, "What’s the matter? Why do you all look so solemn? Did something happen?" Zhibei glanced at Sun Wukong and then said, "The Genesis Divine Nation is under attack by the Underworld God Army, and the Myriad Gods Hall and the Canglan River Realm have also spotted activity by the Underworld God Army, which seems to be trying to break through us one by one by having a numerical advantage. So now, the time has come for us to temporarily separate." Find more chapters on NovelBin.Côm

Wukong wasn’t too surprised by Zhibei’s words. In fact, if Sun Wukong were in league with the Underworld God Army, he too would certainly take advantage of this moment when the battle had just ended and the rear of each power was vastly undefended to launch an attack. The strategy of diverting the enemy by besieging Wei to save Zhao was exactly this. What Sun Wukong didn’t expect was how fast the Underworld God Army was moving!

Nodding, Sun Wukong said, "Losing lips chills the teeth, if Genesis Divine Nation is breached, then my Netherworld Palace will definitely be the next, so I agree that we should divide our forces and each return to defend. Moreover, I believe their losses on all three sides this time are definitely not light, and they likely won’t be able to engage in large-scale battles for a while. That Underworld God Army might be cooperating with them, but it must be a cooperation based on interests. Without benefit, they surely wouldn’t attack rashly!"

Pausing for a moment, Zhibei said, "You’re right, so now we’re facing a problem, our combat power is severely insufficient. If the numbers of the Underworld God Army are truly as your friend said, even if they send one percent of their forces to attack our palace, that would still be an irresistible force. So, you see, could you ask your friend..."

Halfway through, Sun Wukong had already understood. Yes, after cooperating with the Underworld God Army, his side was at a stark disadvantage in terms of both manpower and combat power. Relying solely on their own strength, the Myriad Gods Hall and the Canglan River Realm surely couldn’t withstand the vast numbers of the Underworld God Army. The only solution was to have some of the ferocious beasts led by the little monkey to follow them back for defense. These beasts didn’t necessarily have to participate in battle; their presence would serve more as a deterrent.

Once back, the Netherworld World would quickly try to get Genesis Divine Nation and the Fangcun Spirit Realm on their war chariot, and then the time for the ultimate battle would come.

Since he had already understood, Sun Wukong had no hesitations and agreed at once. Just now, when the little monkey went to rest, he had already shared with Sun Wukong the plans for afterward. "I will send a Domain Lord Level silverback gorilla to lead a thousand ferocious beasts to follow you back for defense. And we will try our best to bring Genesis and Fangcun on board the war chariot swiftly!"

Afterwards, the group discussed further details, and after Zhibei handed out two palm-sized spatial positioning devices to Xi Zhao and Ghost Jade, the Allied Forces began to prepare to return to their defenses. They would go back and rest their troops, conserving their strength for the ultimate final battle.
