Chapter 703: It's Actually Easy to Find Reasons
"He doesn't need you to worry about him."
Sun Wukong refused Da Gu's suggestion.
"Why?" Da Gu thought that Sun Wukong wanted Wu Ye to fuse with the Sofia cells to seek evolution.
"Do you know why he calls me master?"
Upon hearing this question, Da Gu was silent for a while, eventually saying, "Actually, I have a feeling you all appeared suddenly... Maybe it's just my illusion."
"It's not an illusion."
[Warning, do not speak of the Main God's existence, or else... erase…]
(If you keep babbling, I'll really tear you apart; not even the entire infinite world can save you, I'm telling you.) Sun Wukong conveyed his words to the Main God's logic via telepathy.
Main God: [...]
Weak, helpless, and pitiful.
"You're right, we did appear suddenly; in a certain sense, we have to traverse countless worlds just to struggle to survive."
Sun Wukong knew it was unrealistic for someone at Da Gu's level to sense the Main God, but due to his unique nature as a person of light, he already had suspicions about the memory implants from the Main God.
"Struggling across infinite worlds, beyond one's control."
"Can you imagine it? Being casually erased by an existence while being tempted by benefits. If an ordinary person could survive countless worlds, their kindness would gradually dissipate, becoming solely interest-driven."
Da Gu was deeply shocked, as if realizing the difficulties faced by Sun Wukong and the others.
"So, is it to give Wu Ye more self-protection abilities?"
"No."
"Huh?"
"Luo wants to get rid of it, which I can do, but I can tell he has his own ideas, and he's a curious person who dares to try."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Sun Wukong accepts apprentices not by physical aptitude, but in his eyes, everyone is pretty much the same, except for their minds.
As for Wu Ye, who was originally mediocre, being able to pull back from the brink at the last moment and even dare to give away all his assets (offering his side quests and reward points in the Main God Space to join the real team) was enough to prove his mind was firmer than most.
And—
In areas of small personal interests, he tends to let things drift, but he has clear views on significant issues.
When Wu Ye dared to act like that in the Main God Space, he saw that Sun Wukong, Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, and others wouldn't push him away, and it was a logical organization.
Moreover, in the three years of the Biohazard, his efforts were seen by everyone, even becoming the team member closest to Zheng Zha, and he wasn't far from unlocking the second-stage gene lock.
In training, he would go all out; in learning, he was able to calm down and focus.
Sun Wukong could see that this kid had complex thoughts but could strive to follow the great principles in the books throughout those three years of hard work, experiencing them firsthand, yet thinking independently without completely following them.
Thus, when Wu Ye asked him to be his master, Sun Wukong did not deny him.
If Haruno Sakura from the Naruto world became who she was due to luck and a projection of his True Spirit, Wu Ye's determination and mindset touched Sun Wukong.
Perhaps Wu Ye seized the opportunity himself, but Sun Wukong saw in him a reflection of his own resolute self pursuing the Dao in the Nanshan Continent during his first simulation.
In a world where no one is willing to resolve, resolve to cultivate the mysterious and discoverable self.
When Wu Ye was with Liu Ziqiang, he was that slightly fanciful person who let the flow take him; when he was willing to abandon everything and join another team, he had set his resolution.
"Although I'm his master, what I teach him is only the basics and how to cultivate his mind, the rest he needs to create on his own, and in the future, he will have to carve his own path, I can't help with that." Sun Wukong smiled and said, "You're about the same."
Da Gu took a deep breath and said, "I think as long as you are around, the team will remain fairly harmonious, right?"
"It's not entirely my achievement; the key is whether the collectively established system can bind the desires brought by power." Sun Wukong spoke earnestly. Thе оriginаl sоurсе is М|V|L5ЕМРYR.
"Moral standards, huh..." Da Gu wasn't stupid; he could relate it to modern life, where many are discontent, and once someone gains power, their inner desires will inevitably swell.
The result is self-evident.
Either someone gets defeated, becoming a tragedy, or someone defeats everyone else, sitting above all beings, becoming a tragedy to everyone else but himself.
In any case, it's a tragedy.
Therefore, those who control power must have a strong mind.
Both to control power and to restrain desire.
The endless desires of humans and the development of science are also based on humanity's desire for discovery, but desires need boundaries, with suitable ideas at the right level.
Like those ideas of becoming the god of mankind just because they have power...
Anyway, Da Gu himself couldn't agree with such notions.
"So, Mr. Wukong, do you think Mr. Wu Ye has a strong mind?"
Da Gu also added honorifics to Wu Ye's name; whether or not he had the knowledge worthy of being called "Mister," being recognized by Sun Wukong suggested an extremely strong inner strength that deserved corresponding respect.
"I can only say he has that talent." Sun Wukong sighed, "After all, I can't plan someone else's life."
