Chapter Two Past Events

  Now you know, why both the Heavenly Palace and the Spiritual Mountain want to take me for themselves. It's all because of the spiritual essence in my brain. Why is the spiritual essence in my brain so powerful? Because this is a piece of divine stone left over from when Nüwa repaired the heavens. As the divine stone was used to repair the heavens, the piece of spiritual stone in my brain gradually merged with the multiverse. It can be said that I am the world and the world is my spirit. Once someone absorbs this divine stone, they will surpass all the multiverses.

  Hehe, isn't it too shocking? Haha, then I'll continue to tell those stories about the Buddha's ancestors!

  Many times, I've been thinking, since I jumped out from a stone, what am I supposed to do? The Heavenly Palace is in chaos, and the Western Heaven has also been visited. But then what?

  In the past, every time it was like this, I would go ask Master. Master said everyone has their own path, he doesn't know how my future path will be walked, he only knows that now the path is westward.

  The master sometimes knows a lot, but sometimes he doesn't know anything. Now the master is not around, I don't know who to ask, so I can only think for myself.

  I thought and thought, recalling the scene when I was just born, playing with the monkeys in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. I remembered the feeling when I first saw the Golden Cudgel in the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea. I recalled the thrill of eating peaches in the Peach Garden. I remembered the pain of being refined in the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace. I thought of the anger after putting on the Golden Hoop. And I thought of that other Sun Wukong, exactly like me, also known as the Six Ears Macaque in the mouth of the Tathagata.

  I couldn't help but laugh at this. The Tathagata is indeed very thoughtful. Six Ears Macaque, haha, when I first saw this Sun Wukong who looked exactly like me back then, I laughed so hard I couldn't stop. Why did I laugh? Because the Tathagata thought he was clever, using his own incarnation to transform into my appearance, but while he could deceive Master, Jade Emperor, even the Magic Mirror and Guanyin Bodhisattva, he couldn't deceive me!

  In those years, the fire-eyed golden pupil refined in Lao Jun's furnace was not just able to see through the changes of monsters. The law and power of the incoming Taoist were indeed much higher than mine, but he still underestimated my fire-eyed golden pupil.

  He didn't think about it, the six-eared macaque belongs to the monkey category. In those years, I was in the land of prison and hooked up all the names of the monkeys, so that all the monkeys respected me as a superior being. Although there is indeed a six-eared macaque who can see through heaven and earth, he is not among the three realms and five elements, and even where he is, only I know.

  The true or false Monkey King, only wants to tell me that he can produce another Sun Wukong at any time and place to replace me, and no one will notice. Although it is said that monks do not kill, but if they kill someone and then another appears to take their place, and no one notices, then no one will know that the Buddha killed someone.

  I am a monkey, a fearless and reckless monkey.

  Unconsciously, I have jumped out of the stone for over a thousand years. This thousand years is neither long nor short. If it's long, many things and people have changed in this thousand years. If it's short, some things remain unchanged. Just like those monkeys in my Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.

  Since I first jumped into the water curtain, this great king, one call is a thousand years. No matter where I am, no matter whether I'm good or bad, they all call me the Great King. Even if it's because I made trouble in Heaven and caused the heavenly fire to burn the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, even if it's because I was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain and they were bullied by the demon hunters, but they never changed, still with that lovely appearance as before. When I'm there, they serve me, when I'm not, they wait for me. So I know, even if the whole world has no place for me to stand, the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits will forever be the home of old Sun Wukong.

  There are also many changes, becoming unrecognizable, just like my sworn brother, the Bull Demon King. I recall that we were once fellow demons in the Mountain of Fruits and Flowers, but after a fight, we became sworn brothers, spending our days traveling everywhere, drinking and fighting, living a carefree life. But who knew that since I embarked on this Western journey, everything has changed. This old bull not only forgot about our past brotherly affection but even became my enemy, engaging in a fierce battle with me at the Flaming Mountain for three days and three nights.

  But I don't blame him, he has his own difficulties. I know that Guanyin took his son Red Boy as Shancai Tongzi, just to threaten the old cow and make us unable to pass through Huaguo Mountain, but even if we knew what could be done, it's not time to tear our faces apart yet, all we can do is fight, even if the opponent is a former brother.

  Endure it, old ox, and those brothers of yours from back then. What you can do now is pretend not to recognize me, regard me as the sworn enemy who betrayed the demon tribe, and use all your might to block my way westward. Otherwise, the demon tribe will eventually be wiped out by those Bodhisattvas and heavenly gods.

  Alas, it's still not time yet.

  I don't know what the outcome will be, maybe I'll fail and everything will disappear. My Mount Huaguo, my monkey disciples, my brothers, my master Tang Sanzang, my fellow disciples Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, and the little white dragon. Ah, yes, and her too.

  Despite that, some things still need to be done. This isn't a matter of being stubborn or not, but a war between two races. Five hundred years ago, so much preparation was made, if we give up this time, it would truly be a waste of past efforts. I won't let the blood of the demon race who died five hundred years ago flow in vain, and neither will I continue to let those so-called gods do as they please. This world isn't decided by one person's words, nor is it decided by a group of people's words, this world belongs to all living things.

  What's wrong with our demon clan? Are demons not living beings? Must we become mounts or pets for the gods to be worthy? Admittedly, many demons are evil and wicked, but that's not all of them. There are also many demons who don't meddle in worldly affairs and focus on cultivating themselves to attain the Great Way.

  But what's the use of that? Immortals who attain the Tao are ranked among the immortals, living forever without aging. But what about demons who attain the Tao? What do they become?

  After more than 500 years of preparation, the demon clan finally has a chance to make a comeback, and this will be their last attempt. If the demon clan loses, there will be no demons in the world from then on. If the divine clan loses, the heavenly court will belong to the demon clan from then on.

  What about those monks? Don't forget, I've been traveling west all this way for what. What I'm after is to enter the Buddhist gate as a condition, and let Tathagata not intervene in the dispute between the demon tribe and the god tribe. Moreover, I am both the victorious Buddha of the fight and the beautiful monkey king of Huaguo Mountain, and the demon tribe belongs to my leadership. If I became the Jade Emperor, wouldn't it be all advantages and no disadvantages for Tathagata? Why would he still want to stop me?

  Haha, and besides, Lao Tzu may not have time to bother with me, maybe when the time comes he will be too busy to care!

  I really want to know the expression of the Jade Emperor when I hit the Heavenly Palace again, and I also want to know the appearance of the Supreme Elder Lord when I flip over the Eight Trigrams Road again. However, unfortunately, the Queen Mother's peaches are not yet ripe, otherwise, I would definitely go eat them again.

  The numerous gods in the sky, don't be impatient, it's coming soon, really soon. Old Sun will make you astonished again, and let you know that there is a monkey who can't be moved by just anyone.
