Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"This is the first time you've come to see me, quite a rare guest."

Xiao Honglu looked surprised at Chu Xuan who was pushing the door open, revealing a slight smile, yet his eyes were filled with a taste of unwillingness to give up.

"The final battle is about to begin, I thought I should give you, a newcomer, something to save your life, after all, you're one of the few smart people in the team." Chu Xuan took out a vial of serum and handed it to Xiao Honglu. "This is the monster serum, after injection, you can transform into a monster form; it's the last resort."

"Transform into a monster? Wu Ye mentioned it to me a bit... You're really something, being able to create such a thing." Xiao Honglu examined the blue reagent carefully and placed it in the inner pocket of his coat. "How do I use it?"

"Orally, or by injection, either way, but if you want it to take effect quickly, it's best to inject it directly into the heart." Chu Xuan had no expression on his face. "If you survive this time, you can be my assistant."

"Oh? Should I feel honored then?" Xiao Honglu said with a grin.

"Not necessary." Chu Xuan slightly shook his head. "It's just that you seem more talented, or maybe I envy you a bit."

"Envy?" Xiao Honglu glanced at the cold Chu Xuan, recalled something, and said, "I remember you said you were an experiment... a test-tube baby, perhaps a member of some secret base, devoid of the emotions that ordinary humans have?"

"You're very smart."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"But sometimes being too smart can make people dislike you."

"Hmm, that is a problem." Xiao Honglu pondered slightly and then laughed, "It seems everyone in our team isn't dumb; even Zheng Zha, he just doesn't want to think too much."

"True, being able to solve most problems with brute force, why would one bother thinking? After all, as long as one is alive, there's no thought of evolution." Chu Xuan said, "From this perspective, those who pioneered so-called cultivation were just a product of the environment."

"That's true." Xiao Honglu nodded, "But what's the deal with the genetic lock?"

"It's a man-made cultivation system; after all, as long as you consider yourself human, even a robot can activate it, do you think this thing is a genetic instinct?" Chu Xuan retorted.

"Doesn't seem like it, rather it has a mimetic feel." Xiao Honglu shook his head, "But you've come to me, not to discuss this, right? After all, I haven't even unlocked the genetic lock."

"Call it an investment." Chu Xuan still wore that impassive face, speaking coldly, "The final darkness is descending, we may not be able to protect you, so you can only rely on yourself."

"Sun Wukong should be able to guard everyone, right?"

"He can, but I don't think he will; my best prediction is that after death, he will erase all memories related to the Main God space before sending you back to reality."

"Why do you think that?"

"He is Sun Wukong, willing to help others but not a nanny, after all, he has no obligation; but for those familiar to him, he should have some preferential benefits, like preserving memories, powers and the like."

"Is that so?" Xiao Honglu nodded and asked, "Then what is his purpose?"

"Perhaps the entire infinite world."

Chu Xuan said, "After all, he never hid his cultivation, which centers on one word, the heart. Probably it can replicate everything in the infinite world."

"Moreover, those of us chosen by the Main God space are likely fragments of certain great powers."

"In the future, we might have the possibility to discuss the Dao with him."

Xiao Honglu understood.

This is investment.

For such an existence, it's just a waste of a little time, but time, to such an existence, is precisely the least valuable thing.

The Zhongzhou Team has reached its current scale, likely inseparable from Sun Wukong's contribution.

And the purpose of Chu Xuan seeking him was, in fact, simple, just to win him over, after all, Sun Wukong could not stay with the Zhongzhou Team forever... the present Zhongzhou Team has grown, Zheng Zha especially has obtained the miracle of light, no longer needing him to protect and guide.

Therefore, according to Chu Xuan's deduction, Sun Wukong is very likely to leave after this confrontation.

For that reason, the team needs a few more "smart people."

"Alright, I will try my best to survive, hoping to truly integrate into the Zhongzhou Team... this is much more interesting than being researched in a psychiatric hospital." Xiao Honglu's face was full of smiles, after all, being given the monster serum by Chu Xuan was considered a form of recognition.

"Hmm, you have great potential." Chu Xuan said, "However, the monster serum requires uniform reward points, so when you return to the Main God space, you have to transfer them to me."

"No problem, even brothers need to be clear about accounts, I won't take it for free." Xiao Honglu nodded.

Having said that, Chu Xuan left the ward without looking back, leaving Xiao Honglu alone who took out the monster serum given by Chu Xuan, murmuring, "A mix of Golza and Melba monster genes, it won't cause major mutations in my body, will it? That guy Chu Xuan definitely has the intention of using me as an experiment."

"But—"

What else could he do? Reader support at M*VLEM*PYR made this translation possible.

After all, he was powerless, only this monster serum could give him a little self-preservation capability.

The plot of Ultraman Tiga, he remembered clearly, at the finale, darkness spread across the globe, the number of Zoga was extremely vast... even though it wasn't shown in the tokusatsu series, in this real world, if there were only a few Zogas, there really would be a problem.

Not to mention, this time, even Sofia has entered the fray.

If the Sofia Motherbody arrived on Earth, both Tiga and Dyna would be in a tough battle.

Can it be said then, in Sun Wukong's eyes, this is also the final test for the Zhongzhou Team?

As long as they can defeat Gatanothor and the Sofia Motherbody, is it considered "graduation"?

Unconsciously, Xiao Honglu thought a lot, but in the end, still shook his head and gave a self-mocking smile: "Why think so much? Survival is key, and this monster gene reagent is my only guarantee."

Meanwhile.

In the ultra-ancient ruins, Camilla had to abandon suppressing Gatanothor, hiding her aura and taking refuge under the ruins of the ultra-ancient.

"Gatanothor is awakening early... is it because Sofia enveloped Earth, causing a climate change, thereby instinctively accelerating its revival?"

"Tiga, it's all up to you. I am not suitable for going out now."

"Otherwise—"

A giant of light existed beneath the ruins filled with darkness. If Gatanothor perceived her, it would eradicate her immediately.

However, Camilla didn't intend to hide until the end.

If Tiga and Gatanothor battled, she might be able to lend a hand.

Within this ultra-ancient ruin, not only darkness slept, but so did light!

Previously, as a giant of darkness, she couldn't perceive it, but after being transformed into a giant of light by Tiga, revisiting this space, she could clearly perceive the power of light.

And it was with the help of those slumbering powers of light that she managed to keep Gatanothor suppressed in sleep.

Unfortunately, Gatanothor still awoke in the end...
