Great Demon Sun Wukong

"Because the Pioneer's original form was that of an immense ape, Sun Wukong, who was born from a Five-Colored Divine Stone that transformed from the heart of the Pioneer, is also an ape and looks exactly like the Pioneer. Nearly all powers have their own chess pieces in the Pangu Realm, and naturally, I have mine. Thus, after Sun Wukong was killed by a chess piece from another power, the Netherworld's chess piece brought him to the Netherworld World. You would have already known what happened afterwards. Therefore, Sun Wukong is a crucial part of all powers' plans, and our good relationship with Sun Wukong is a very advantageous aspect for us. And, the only reason I'm saying so much is to make you understand that the narrative about the Ancient battle is incorrect, the Pioneer was not on the side of justice, and the Underworld Venerate was not evil. Moreover, there was never an invasion by any external cosmic powers. The reason why the Crimson Army stole the Pioneer's body and utterly destroyed it was exactly because the Pioneer was not righteous. If his body wasn't destroyed, he might have had the chance to resurrect."

At this point, Yue Huangquan suddenly laughed. Watching Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others frown, Yue Huangquan continued, "History is written by the victors. The victors of the Ancient battle were actually a few Elixirs. So, our goal for entering the Fallen Tomb this time is to join forces with the Crimson Army and the other Great Divine Nations to completely annihilate the Law Enforcers. Zi Ling and I suspect that the Elixirs, the Law Enforcers, meddled in the original Ancient battle. The time was not right before, so we had to endure, but now that the time has come, what we need to do is have a final showdown with the Law Enforcers!"

At that moment, Rogue Heart Sword Hero suddenly asked, "Lord, what exactly is this 'timing' you speak of? These matters are too secretive; we hardly knew anything about them prior to this, and we did not notice anything unusual!" Yue Huangquan nodded approvingly and said, "You're right, very few people know about these things. As for the 'timing' I mentioned, that is the legend about Eternity!"

"The one that says within the Fallen Tomb lies an Eternal legend? Is this legend actually true? Inside the Fallen Tomb, is there truly Eternity?" Yue Huangquan nodded, "No smoke without fire; every legend exists because it has some basis in truth. According to the ongoing investigations and validations by me, the Crimson Army, and Xiao He, the conclusion is that there indeed lies Eternity inside the Fallen Tomb. Each time the Fallen Tomb opens, it's actually the Law Enforcers using people from the Six Great Divine Nations to check the status of that Eternity. Although we are not aware of it, the Law Enforcers can know through various signs. The 'timing' I speak of is that the Eternity inside the Fallen Tomb has ripened. The final showdown between all powers is actually for the sake of competing for that Eternity; whoever gains it will reach the end of the Supreme Path and become the sovereign of this universe, the true Eternity!"

Yue Huangquan's words brought profound shock to everyone. Except for Star Sinker, the Netherworld Guardian, who knew some of these things, the rest truly had no idea, especially Flame God and Hei Kui. However, Yue Huangquan also didn't know everything, otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned the Law Enforcers as the top enemy, but that is a story for another day, so let's not delve into it just yet. Nevertheless, it was still apparent from Yue Huangquan's words that he was quite confident. In Yue Huangquan's mind, he only had two enemies, one being the Law Enforcers and the other the alliance between the Myriad Demons Country and the Underworld God Annihilation Nation. Previously, Yue Huangwei did not attack the Myriad Demons Country using the formidable strength of the Divine Nations Alliance for fear that doing so would align the Law Enforcers with the Myriad Demons Country.

When everyone had almost digested his words, Yue Huangquan continued, "We should be the most powerful force right now; the Divine Nations Alliance, along with the Crimson Army, need not fear even if the Law Enforcers and Ling Weiyang's alliance were to happen in the future." At this point, Rogue Heart Sword Hero suddenly thought of a very critical question, but hesitated and did not ask. However, Yue Huangquan noticed his hesitation. "Sword Hero, what's the matter, is there a problem?" Initially not planning to speak, Rogue Heart Sword Hero finally couldn't help but ask upon Yue Huangquan's inquiry, "I want to know, what exactly is that Eternity? And ultimately, how will it be determined who it belongs to?"

Rogue Heart Sword Hero's question was very crucial, hitting the nail on the head. Because it was certain there was only one Eternity, but so many from the Divine Nations Alliance and the Crimson Army, if they were really to defeat Ling Weiyang, Xi Zhao, and the Law Enforcers, how would the ownership of that Eternity be distributed? Surely they couldn't have an internal free-for-all, could they? Yue Huangquan also did not expect Rogue Heart Sword Hero to ask this question, but still replied, "What exactly that Eternity is, no one knows, as no one has seen it. As for who it belongs to, we have already decided; whoever kills the Heavenly Patroller will have that Eternity, and will become the sovereign of this universe! So, everyone has a chance. This was going to be announced when everyone had gathered, but it doesn't matter that you know now!"

Rogue Heart Sword Hero understood; this method was probably the most appropriate, because how many people can remain disinterested in the face of Eternity? Then Yue Huangquan went on to discuss some tactical arrangements, mostly regarding how to deal with the Law Enforcers. The Fallen Tomb was set to open the next morning. So after giving instructions, everyone went to rest. Nonetheless, that night was destined to be a sleepless one. In fact, Hei Kui had agreed to enter the Fallen Tomb with Yue Huangquan solely for the purpose of finding Sun Wukong.

Myriad Demons Country

Similarly, the day before the Fallen Tomb was to open, Ling Weiyang summoned those who were prepared to enter. Standing in front of Ling Weiyang were also four people: Long Tian, Fen Yan, Qian Shang, and Luo Chen, making it a total of five including Ling Weiyang himself. When the four arrived and saw each other, they were also quite surprised. Finally, it was Long Tian who spoke, "Lord, are the five of us the ones entering the Fallen Tomb this time? What about the Nine Kirin?" They were already aware of the venture into the Fallen Tomb, but were incredibly surprised that Ling Weiyang had not chosen the Nine Kirin!

Ling Weiyang chuckled lightly, "The Nine Kirin, let them arrange themselves. Now, the five of us are the ones selected to enter the Fallen Tomb this time. What do you think? Does anyone have any thoughts to share?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and Monthly Passes.
