Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong paused this simulation, deep in thought.

Hai Feng?

So it turns out that a remnant soul of the Demon Luo was lurking within him, and it even killed the Millennium Fox King once. How despicable.

However, within the simulator, he saw clearly that it wasn't Demon Luo who acted, but Hai Feng.

That guy appears handsome and scholarly, yet his heart is incredibly stubborn, harboring an incomprehensible hatred towards non-human creatures, stemming from a childhood psychological trauma left by a wolf demon.

Regarding this, Sun Wukong didn't intend to delve further, and he couldn't just expel Hai Feng from the Three Lives Academy or Huaguo Mountain on such baseless charges.

After all, he always dealt with matters based on evidence.

Even if Hai Feng harbored internal darkness, it wasn't right to trouble him for it.

Judge by actions, not by thoughts.

The various rules of Huaguo Mountain focus on evidence.

However, he could use other reasons, for example, a student being possessed by a ghost, attempting to use their body to reincarnate.

As the king of Huaguo Mountain, he still held that authority.

But such matters must also be kept secret, not broadcasted widely, lest it greatly affects the human students at the Three Lives Academy, especially those who came from the Nanshan Continent to study and are extremely averse to matters regarding ghosts and spirits.

"What then is that unexpected event that occurred?"

Although the previous simulation was terminated by him, it seemed unlikely anything had gone awry, yet this time, an unexpected event did occur.

Could it be because of the complete sealing of Demon Luo?

Sun Wukong was puzzled.

But speaking of which, that Demon Luo really did possess some cultivation, letting the Jiao Demon King be infected by Demonic Qi and enabling the Fox Seductress to have the chance to become a Heavenly Immortal.

In Sun Wukong's view, even if that Fox Seductress were split in two by him in the future, it would be difficult for her to become a Heavenly Immortal, but after being infected by Demonic Qi, she indeed had the opportunity to achieve it.

Perhaps it would be wise to make good use of the remnant soul of Demon Luo.

However, Sun Wukong was more curious about who those uninvited guests could be?

[Simulation continues.]

[At the age of 872, you have been keeping an eye on the matters of the pilgrimage, and you find that during Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West, he encounters a strangely dressed man and woman.] The ful#l* ser+i*e#s! l^iv*e-s on My V%i#r^tual L@ib^r@ary Em$pi#re (M|-V|&L0.EMPY.R)*.@

[The man has a short buzz cut, looking like an ex-monk; the woman is wearing a short-sleeved top and shorts, exposing her navel and thighs, appearing rather indecent.]

[Tang Sanzang asks, "Who are you two benefactors, and why are you blocking this humble monk's path?"]

[The two of them do not answer, but instead speak among themselves in a vernacular Tang Sanzang doesn't quite understand, "Have we entered the Journey to the West beta version?" "Is this the Tang Sanzang from the Journey to the West?" "He has quite a muscular build." "Doesn't really look like A Chinese Odyssey."]

Sun Wukong squints his eyes.

Knows about the Journey to the West?

A Chinese Odyssey?

And what is this 'beta version'?

Moreover, this man and woman's odd attire and behavior are quite licentious; even though he himself is unrestrained and hearty, he is not as weird as these two.

After pondering for a while, Sun Wukong suddenly remembers about the matters of myriad worlds.

In the Three Star Cave, his master once discussed this with him.

Could these two be from another world?

Now that's interesting.

If going by the doctrines of the Three Realms, these two would be considered extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, whom everyone would slay on sight.

[Tang Sanzang sees that the two do not engage with him, but does not get angry. He simply leads his horse around them, and yet they shamelessly join Tang Sanzang's party.]

[Tang Sanzang knows martial arts and sees that even though the two are sloppy in appearance, they do not mean him harm. With the way being open to the heavens, he allows them to follow along.]

[You, observing secretly, also recognize the identities of these two as extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, but you do not pay much attention to them, only instructing the Mountain Gods, the land protectors, and the six Ding and six Jia to keep you informed at all times.]

[Because you intend to cast a long line to catch a big fish.]

[Through the Divination Skill, you learn the names of the man and woman— the man is called "Man of Quickness, a Second in Three," and the woman is called "This Dame's Eighteen."]

[You feel an unrealistic sense of absurdity.]

The Divination Skill, of course, Sun Wukong knows it.

The highest level of divination is to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and to know everything within the Three Realms through it, without omission.

Even if they are extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, once they enter the Three Realms, their location, words, and actions will all be recorded by the Heavenly Dao, because the Demons would still resonate with the Spiritual Energy of the Three Realms upon entering.

It was like a bone spur had grown in the palm of a person's hand, extremely unsightly.

Only, Sun Wukong couldn't believe that someone would actually have such a strange name.

The self within the simulator was the one communicating with the Heavenly Dao, using it to perform divination.

However, there was another possibility, which was that the identities of these two had eluded the Heavenly Dao. And to possess such ability, there must definitely be a Primordial-level being behind them.

Because only a Primordial being could communicate with the Heavenly Dao and alter information, making it impossible for those who came after to find the correct information.

Through this, Sun Wukong outside of the simulation had confirmed one thing.

That was that within the Three Realms, there existed a traitor of Primordial level. Otherwise, if there were beings beyond the Primordial level outside the Three Realms, they could just take over the Three Realms directly. Why bother sending extradimensional Heavenly Demons?

Within the Heavenly Dao Life Simulator—

[You have discovered that there is a Primordial level traitor within the Three Realms. Knowing that you cannot find the other party, you shift your focus to Tang Sanzang.]

["Fast Man, One Second Three" and "Old Dame Eighteen" followed Tang Sanzang, telling him the Journey to the West stories, only to be scolded by Tang Sanzang.]

[This is because Tang Sanzang was born in the Nanshan Continent, which is influenced by your Huaguo Mountain, and he holds you, the Venerated King Buddha, Holy Sage of Heaven and Earth, in the highest esteem.]

[The "Journey to the West" they spoke of said you, Sun Wukong, were Tang Sanzang's disciple. How could he dare to acknowledge it?]

[Tang Sanzang even believed these two were demons sent by heaven to confuse him, but since he had no evidence, he could only wait for them to slip up and then strike them down with thunderous means.]

[A month later, Tang Sanzang and the two extradimensional Heavenly Demons arrived at Forked Ridge. The monsters of tigers and bears that settled there had already defected to Huaguo Mountain, leaving the two extradimensional Heavenly Demons empty-handed.]

[At Eagle Sorrow Stream, Tang Sanzang proved his identity to the young white dragon, earning his first disciple, and continued his journey westward, while the two extradimensional Heavenly Demons took the chance to take some dragon blood.]

[You discovered that the way these extradimensional Heavenly Demons increased their cultivation was like an empowerment ritual, allowing quick success, focusing only on Divine Skills and Mana, neglecting the cultivation of moral character and spiritual fruits.]

[Two months later, the two extradimensional Heavenly Demons and Tang Sanzang arrived at the Guanyin Monastery. A black bear spirit there, although yearning for Huaguo Mountain, found it too far to relocate, and the one showing off the Kasaya had changed from you to the young white dragon.]

[Afterward, the two extradimensional Heavenly Demons took the opportunity to loot the Guanyin Monastery, sacking various Kasayas, monk staffs, and gemstones, storing them all in their bags.]

[The journey to the west continues...]

After watching the actions of these two extradimensional Heavenly Demons in the simulator, Sun Wukong frowned.

At a cursory glance, these two didn't cause trouble but instead aided Tang Sanzang in subduing demons and eliminating evil, albeit in cruel ways that spared no extremes and lacked martial virtue.

They were just extremely greedy, looting all kinds of treasures, Immortal Fruits, Spiritual Medicine—anything of value would be stuffed into their bags.

Especially when they passed Wu Zhuang Guan, these two audacious fellows packed up all the ginseng fruits, and in the end, it was Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk who sought out the simulated self to resolve this problem.

[... The two extradimensional Heavenly Demons, doubting their existence, followed Tang Sanzang and his disciples from the Western Bull Continent to the Northern Jambu Continent, then to the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent, and finally into Myriad Spirits Holy Kingdom within Huaguo Mountain, seeking a true scripture that could develop Nanshan Continent.]

[At nine hundred years old, you arranged for people to prepare a large number of blank books and pens, took them to the scripture vault, and gave them nine years to copy the books from the Tower of Myriad Books.]

[You said, "This library contains a myriad of scriptures and canons, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, the Hundred Schools of Thought, and also books written by accomplished scholars and eminent figures over the past six hundred years. Within nine years, take back as much as you can copy."]

[Tang Sanzang, knowing the preciousness of knowledge, had no objections and had Little White Dragon, Bajie, and Sha Monk help him with the transcribing.]

["Fast Man, One Second Three" and "Old Dame Eighteen" were taken away by you to inquire about the extradimensional Heavenly Demons. However, they were evasive and even tested if you were a transmigrator.]

[You proved that you were not, leading them to become even more confused...]

[Nine years later, at the age of nine hundred and nine, Tang Sanzang and the others completed copying the scriptures, totaling two hundred and six thousand three hundred and fifty-three books. They bid their farewell to you and boarded a merchant ship back to Nanshan Continent.]

[That same year, the two extradimensional Heavenly Demons vanished. You felt a slight spatial rift appear and sent a shard of your Primordial Spirit to investigate...]

[Three years later, the books from Huaguo Mountain spread widely across Nanshan Continent, and people erected temples to worship you, bringing you a great deal of merit from incense offerings.]

[Another three years passed, and the merits of Tang Monk and his disciples were fulfilled. They were summoned back to Spirit Mountain by The Buddha and granted Buddha status.]

[...]

[Three hundred years later, at the age of one thousand two hundred and nine, an immense number of extradimensional Heavenly Demons descended, wreaking havoc on Earth, and the battle between the Three Realms and the extradimensional Heavenly Demons began.]

[That same year, The Buddha of Spirit Mountain passed away suddenly, Mara broke the seal, claiming to be Without Heaven, wishing to rule the Three Realms.]

[In just three years, both the Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain fell, with only the Ao Lai Country in Eastern Victorious Divine Continent and Myriad Spirits Holy Kingdom in Huaguo Mountain barely surviving. You, with your great Mana and Great Divine Power, held off Mara Without Heaven.

Your Myriad Spirits fought the extradimensional Heavenly Demons, but the extradimensional Heavenly Demons were unkillable, maniacally insane, growing stronger with every battle.]

[After thirty years of fierce battle with Without Heaven, that shard of your Primordial Spirit returned from the alternate world, bringing the power of another realm, and you finally defeated Mara Without Heaven, restoring peace to the Three Realms.]

[You discovered the pathway to the myriad heavens, a transfer station... Simulation error, forced termination!]

Sun Wukong: "???"

A simulation error, that was a first.

But ever since he obtained this simulator, including this time, he had only simulated four times. If he continued simulating, who knew whether more errors would emerge.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to simulate again, he found that the Heavenly Dao Life Simulator displayed the line[Upgrading...]

Smirking, Sun Wukong said, "All right then, from now on, it's up to my own moves!"
