Chapter 1246: Chapter 392: The Dissipation of the Endless Abyss
Sun Wukong turned around and saw them at that moment.
"Why are you here?"
Sun Wukong asked.
He was quite surprised, because the Great Emperor Ziwei was among them.
Logically, the Great Emperor Ziwei shouldn’t be here.
The Great Emperor Ziwei glared at Sun Wukong and said, "I heard you broke into the Endless Abyss. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I brought the Martial King and the Eastern King to find you. You reckless monkey, you’re as impulsive as ever."
Upon hearing the Great Emperor Ziwei’s words, Sun Wukong didn’t get angry. He chuckled and said, "Guess who Old Sun met?"
"Did you see that coffin?"
The Martial King got a bit nervous.
Sun Wukong glanced at him, nodded, and then shook his head.
This confused the Martial King. Didn’t he see the coffin?
"I saw it, but it wasn’t the coffin Old Sun was referring to. It was someone else."
"Who?"
"Supreme Treasure."
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
The Eastern King and the Martial King were instantly shocked, staring at Sun Wukong in disbelief.
"That defiant stone monkey? The strongest in the Creation Realm, is he still alive?"
The Martial King exclaimed, genuinely stunned.
"Where is Supreme Treasure? Take me to see him. If he’s alive, what do we have to fear in this lifetime?"
The Eastern King said excitedly.
Only the Great Emperor Ziwei looked confused.
He didn’t know who Supreme Treasure was, but from the expressions of the other two, the person must be someone significant and immensely powerful.
"He’s gone, and he’s not alive either. Old Sun encountered only a wisp of his resentment."
Upon hearing this, the Martial King and the Eastern King were instantly deflated, looking disappointed.
They initially thought that if Supreme Treasure were still alive, the Three Realms would have someone to rely on.
In the war that could have ended the world back then, that stone monkey had destroyed several supreme powerhouses in the Creation Realm, scaring the opposition.
If he were to preside over things, those doomsday beings would also have to think twice before acting.
A mere wisp of resentment indicated that Supreme Treasure was truly dead.
Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but sigh.
Pinning their hopes on Supreme Treasure was no longer possible.
Seeing their expressions, Sun Wukong added, "He took a drop of my blood, saying it was to attempt a resurrection."
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Eastern King and the Martial King’s eyes brightened up.
They were filled with excitement and even burst into hearty laughter.
"Why are you laughing?"
Sun Wukong tilted his head and looked at them.
The two exchanged a glance, and the Eastern King said, "There is hope then. You don’t quite understand that stone monkey. He was notoriously unkillable back in the day. Every time he was slain, he’d emerge again. If he says he wants to resurrect, he surely will succeed."
"I reckon the Three Realms will be safe. After all, those doomsday folks can’t afford to lose a few more supreme powerhouses in the Creation Realm. If they do, their pre-eminent status will be hard to maintain. At least for a long period, they won’t make a move on the Three Realms."
The Martial King said with a smile.
He seemed very relaxed, no longer feeling heavy at all.
In his view, as long as that being said he would resurrect, he certainly would succeed.
"He said there’s less than a half percent chance."
Sun Wukong reminded them, trying to dampen their excitement.
However, the two didn’t care in the least.
The Eastern King even laughed and said, "Less than half a percent is already enough. To him, it’s as good as one hundred percent."
"What exactly are you talking about?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei asked in confusion.
What Supreme Treasure? Less than half percent? Who are they talking about?
Seeing the perplexed look on the Great Emperor Ziwei’s face, the Eastern King and the others burst into laughter.
"The strongest of the previous world, a defiant stone monkey, the most powerful in the Creation Realm. Back then, he annihilated several supreme foes single-handedly."
The Great Emperor Ziwei took a sharp breath.
With someone like that, he truly defied the heavens.
"What is his relationship with Wukong? Is Wukong his reincarnation?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei asked.
The Eastern King looked at Sun Wukong with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He said solemnly, "I think someone is purposely reenacting the past, intending to nurture a being as defiant as the stone monkey, and Wukong is the result of this orchestration. His talent, skill, and even some of his experiences are similar to that stone monkey, largely overlapping. A strong force seems to want to push Wukong to the same level as the stone monkey."
With those words, not just the Great Emperor Ziwei, but even the Martial King was shocked.
He had already thought Sun Wukong was extraordinary, but he never imagined Sun Wukong was this defiant.
Someone intended to make him the second stone monkey, an invincible existence in the Creation Realm.
Sun Wukong didn’t know whether to be grateful or resentful towards that force.
Having one’s fate manipulated is inherently an infuriating thing.
"Is it the Elder Lord?"
Sun Wukong asked.
The Eastern King shook his head and said, "It shouldn’t be him. He wouldn’t do such a thing. In the dark, there is an equally formidable presence manipulating all this."
"Maybe it’s just a natural development, just a coincidence."
The Martial King suggested.
He felt there couldn’t be someone this defiant. Perhaps it was merely a coincidence.
Despite having stone monkeys in both eras’ great worlds, equally defiant.
But it might be the evolution of the world’s will, not a result of artificial manipulation.
In reopening heaven and earth on the ruins of the strongest realm, maybe they received the influence of the remainin rules from that strongest realm, leading to the Three Realms giving birth to Sun Wukong.
This explanation is also reasonable.
Sun Wukong said indifferently, "Old Sun doesn’t care about all that. He’ll walk his own path. Whether the stone monkey is resurrected or if someone is pushing things from behind, Old Sun will always be Old Sun. No one can change that."
"Well said; you will forever be my emperor consort," the Great Emperor Ziwei said, patting Sun Wukong on the shoulder.
The Eastern King and the Martial King were shocked to their cores, looking at the two in disbelief. Were they really in that kind of relationship?
Sun Wukong twitched his mouth, wanting to slap the Great Emperor Ziwei away.
What was this guy saying? Such words could easily be misunderstood.
While his preferences might not always be women, maybe battle was his true love, but it would never be for men.
"Ahem, just kidding, trying to lighten the mood. Since we’ve found Wukong, let’s head back."
After speaking, the Great Emperor Ziwei turned and left.
About the secrets of the Endless Abyss, he seemed not curious at all.
"Don’t you want to explore the Endless Abyss?"
Sun Wukong asked, a bit surprised.
"Based on what you said, the stone monkey’s resentment is likely the reason for the existence of the Endless Abyss. Haven’t you realized that after the resentment vanished, the monsters here have disappeared too?"
Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback; it was indeed true.
Upon careful perception, everything around was empty, with no trace of mysterious power.
However, Sun Wukong felt that it was not just related to the stone monkey’s resentment; there was also that coffin.
Once the resentment was cleared, the remaining remnant revived, taking the coffin, and that’s why the magic power here disappeared.
