521: Chapter 230: The Fall of the Earth Demon God_2 521: Chapter 230: The Fall of the Earth Demon God_2 Hearing the words of Great Emperor Ziwei, Sun Wukong gave a wry smile and said, “Then I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed, as your worries are about to multiply.”
“What do you mean?”
Great Emperor Ziwei was somewhat bewildered.
He had already killed the Earth Demon God, so what other worries could he have?
But seeing the expression on Sun Wukong’s face, Great Emperor Ziwei knew very clearly that he was definitely not talking nonsense.
“Is something going to happen?”
Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression turned solemn.
Sun Wukong recounted to Great Emperor Ziwei what Zhenyuan had told him.
Great Emperor Ziwei took a sharp breath.
Only then did he realize that the forces of the Demon Realm actually sought to obtain the Primordial Demonic Qi.
If that were the case, in the future, it wouldn’t just be one Supreme Heavenly Venerate of the Demon Realm entering the Three Realms.
No wonder Sun Wukong said that his worries would only increase—if several Supreme Heavenly Venerates from the Demon Realm were to come, Great Emperor Ziwei would probably have a splitting headache.
Even if they didn’t target Sun Wukong directly, once they started causing havoc among the common people, it would be a considerable problem.
Great Emperor Ziwei sighed, “Being the Supreme of the Three Realms really isn’t easy.
If it weren’t for the Jade Emperor insisting on reducing the Power of Living Beings, I’d really like to abdicate and let him take over the supreme position.”
Great Emperor Ziwei felt somewhat worn out; it was only after ascending to this position that he truly understood how difficult it was to be the Supreme of the Three Realms.
If it were like in the Jade Emperor’s time, when he ruled over the Three Realms and they were already in a state of peace, coupled with the suppression by The Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor’s own tactics, things would be considerably easier.
But now, though The Three Pure Ones stood with the Ziwei Heavenly Court, they seldom showed themselves.
This made many immortals even feel that actually, The Three Pure Ones were dissatisfied with the Ziwei Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, why would they not come out to stand with the Ziwei Heavenly Court, and instead remain in seclusion?
Without the deterrence of The Three Pure Ones and a peaceful world, the pressure on Great Emperor Ziwei now was much greater than that which the Jade Emperor faced back then.
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh.
He patted Great Emperor Ziwei on the shoulder and said jokingly, “That’s why the position of the Supreme of the Three Realms still needs you.
Would you be at ease if it were anyone else?”
Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head.
In the current situation, anyone else might have already bowed their head.
The pressure from both the Court of Ancient Gods and the Jade Emperor’s side was particularly great.
But he would absolutely not bow down; he intended to fight against them until the very end.
Not for any other reason, but because he held a heart that guarded the living beings of the Three Realms and, more importantly, he was enfeoffed by the common people, thus he was naturally more attentive to their well-being.
Sun Wukong laughed again.
He patted Great Emperor Ziwei on the shoulder and exclaimed, “The busiest must bear the most work; you’ll just have to endure this burden.”
Great Emperor Ziwei gave a bitter smile.
Was this really a matter of the busiest enduring the most work?
“Now, from the side of the Demon Realm, there is still Zhu Long left.
Moreover, those other Supreme Heavenly Venerates probably haven’t arrived yet.
I have ordered people to guard the gate of the Demon Realm, to assist the True Martial Great Emperor, and intercept them.
As long as we can stop them, the Three Realms will face much less turmoil,” he said.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes lit up; he had thought of this point.
“And who do you plan to send?” asked Sun Wukong.
He certainly wouldn’t go since the opposition was actually targeting him.
If he went, most likely they would become even more frenzied in their attacks on the seal of the Demon Realm.
After thinking for a moment, Great Emperor Ziwei replied, “Amitabha Buddha, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate.
With their strength, along with True Martial Great Emperor, stopping those powers from the Demon Realm won’t be a problem.”
“Let Truth Listening go as well,” said Sun Wukong.
Truth Listening had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two when it heard Sun Wukong mention it, and its eyes immediately widened.
Was it being sent to block the Demon Realm?
Truth Listening’s legs went weak, and it quickly objected, “No way, I’m not going.”
What a joke—one Earth Demon God was brutal enough, not to mention the other Supreme Heavenly Venerates from the Demon Realm.
If it really dared to go, it would most likely die a miserable death.
Sun Wukong didn’t even glance at Truth Listening.
He mused, “Actually, there is another person you could ask, but first, you would have to give him a title, granting him a certain status in the Heavenly Court, at least not inferior to the Five Elders of the Five Directions.”
“Chi You,” said Great Emperor Ziwei immediately.
As soon as he heard the Five Elders of the Five Directions, he knew who Sun Wukong was referring to.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly.
Chi You, a supreme warlord and Supreme Heavenly Venerate, most likely wasn’t any less powerful than the top Supreme Heavenly Venerates nowadays.
With Amitabha Buddha, True Martial Great Emperor, Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate, plus Chi You, and Truth Listening as an intelligence agent, four Supreme Heavenly Venerates stationed there would basically be foolproof.
This was also the biggest lineup that the Heavenly Court could offer.
The Three Realms were not yet at peace, with troubles both within and without; the Heavenly Court couldn’t place all its forces on confronting the Demon Realm.
After a moment of thought, Great Emperor Ziwei said, “Let’s do it this way.
Actually, if it weren’t for you and the Judicial Deity having more important tasks, to assist me in stabilizing the Three Realms, to protect the living beings, and to eliminate those unstable elements, just the two of you would be enough to secure the gate of the Demon Realm.
You could even counterattack and resolve the Demon Realm issue once and for all.”
Sun Wukong knew that Great Emperor Ziwei was even more intent on settling the Demon Realm.
Great Emperor Ziwei was indeed an ambitious person, but he knew his limits.
Moreover, his ambitions were all for the benefit of the Three Realms, to help resolve hidden dangers.
This was also why he was suited to be a Supreme Heavenly Venerate of the Three Realms.
“Don’t worry, there will come a day for that.
Let’s first deal with the threat of the Ancient Gods.
In comparison to the threat of the Demon Realm, it’s insignificant,” Sun Wukong said with a light chuckle.
No matter how powerful the enemies he faced were, he remained detached and quite composed.
