684: Chapter 250 Great Emperor_8 684: Chapter 250 Great Emperor_8 “I know you’re strong, maybe even capable of contending with the Heavenly Venerate, but to think that alone would make me retreat, you’re underestimating me too much.” The Golden Lion King said coldly, “You killed my offspring, and you expect me to leave?
Ridiculous.
Today, none of you will survive.”
Sun Wukong cocked his head, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He stared at the Golden Lion King and asked with a smile, “You want to kill me?”
“What do you think?” The Golden Lion King was overwhelmingly imposing, his eyes cold and murderous intent filling the air, “Reveal your identity, for I do not slay the nameless.”
Sun Wukong laughed, somewhat disdainfully.
The Golden Lion King talks big, but in reality, he is scared.
He was probing for my background, trying to figure out if he truly was a match for me.
Sun Wukong’s expression turned slightly serious as he spoke, “I am Sun Wukong.”
Sun Wukong?
That name, it seems familiar?
The Golden Lion King furrowed his brow, then his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He had realized where he had heard that name before.
Sun Wukong, the legendary figure who had offended the Primordial Qilin yet lived well.
The one who killed his son was him.
The Golden Lion King decisively turned around, not even bothering with his son’s corpse, and fled straight away.
If Tianming, a figure second only to the Supreme Level, was slayed by Sun Wukong, what chance did he stand?
A top-notch Great Heavenly Venerate, and someone like Tianming, the disparity wasn’t slight.
In a real fight, two Golden Lion Kings might manage to stave off one Tianming at best.
Thus, the Golden Lion King wisely left immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Sun Wukong smiled lightly, this Golden Lion King indeed knew his place.
Afterwards, he waved his hand, taking his followers and the Great Emperor far away from that location.
These villagers, likely refugees, each one in tattered clothes, their faces pale and thin.
Sun Wukong took them to the coast of the East Sea, close to the headquarters of the Great Sage Sect.
This place was under the protection of the Great Sage Sect, where the climate was favorable and no gods, demons, or monsters dared to cause trouble, so the people lived normally, completely unaffected by the return of the Primordial Gods and Demons.
Having settled those people, naturally, someone would take them in and make arrangements.
Then, Sun Wukong left with the Great Emperor and headed to Huaguo Mountain.
He handed a Ziwei Immortal Elixir to the Great Emperor.
Knowing Sun Wukong’s identity, the Great Emperor trusted Sun Wukong completely, not worried at all that he would harm him.
After all, with Sun Wukong’s power, if he wanted to harm him, he would have done so directly; there was no need for such roundabout methods.
After consuming the Ziwei Immortal Elixir, the Great Emperor started to circulate his mana, healing himself.
The Ziwei Immortal Elixir, as a top-notch elixir, soon improved the Great Emperor’s wounds considerably.
Seeing Sun Wukong still watching him, the Great Emperor expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, for saving my life.”
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, and said, “To me, it was merely a small deed, you need not mind it.
What truly moved me was your actions.
Being an Ancient God, why would you go to such lengths to save a few of the human race?”
This was the part Sun Wukong couldn’t understand the most.
Ancient Gods are unfeeling and cold, and even if a few are benevolent, they merely refrain from harming the weak beings.
Like the Great Emperor, risking his life to save a few of the human race was something Sun Wukong had never seen before and was very curious about.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Great Emperor showed a smile and said, “Great Sage, you can probably discern my true form, right?”
With a slight flash of golden light in his eyes, Sun Wukong nodded, saying, “Indeed.”
The Great Emperor smiled, his expression nostalgic.
“I was born at the end of the Primordial era.
Shortly after Goddess Nuwa created the human race, I came into existence.”
“People think that all species from the Primordial era were extremely powerful.
They are wrong.
Besides those powerful gods and demons, there were also some weak beings, and I was one of them, my parents being just two ordinary yellow dogs.
They brought me into the world, went hunting one day, and never returned.
I was barely born, incapable of protecting myself.”
Sun Wukong continued to listen as the Great Emperor went on.
“Not to mention the ability to hunt, leaving the nest meant a certain death if discovered by any creature, so I just stayed in the nest, waiting for my parents to come back, but they never did.
As I was on the brink of starvation, he appeared.”
At this point, the Great Emperor showed a warm smile, “That was the first human I saw in my dog life.
His face was handsome and resolute, his eyes full of wisdom, his every action as sagacious as that of a deity.
He took me in, didn’t eat me, raised me.
I remember those happy days.”
“Later, I ate a fruit in the mountain, gained spiritual wisdom, and transformed into a demon, while he was just a normal human who did not cultivate and died before reaching a hundred years old.”
Here, the Great Emperor’s face showed a hint of sadness.
“Before he died, he asked me to help look after his kin, to protect his people well.
I promised, and I told him that anyone who wanted to harm his people would have to kill me first.
I did just that, protected his people until the end.”
At this point, the Great Emperor wiped away his tears and said with a smile, “It makes you laugh, I never thought I’d have a chance to be reborn, so I must continue to protect his people.”
