Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 789 - 488 Yuan He’s Visit_2

"I’m not curious, none of this has anything to do with me," Sun Wukong waved his hand nonchalantly.

Actually, Sun Wukong did know a bit about where Yuan He came from and how he achieved his rapidly advanced strength.

It wasn’t that Sun Wukong didn’t want to know, but that he knew it all.

Therefore, Yuan He could not really take the initiative with Sun Wukong.

The only thing Sun Wukong didn’t know, and wanted to know, was the truth about the death of the Great Path, and it turned out Yuan He didn’t know either.

So of course, he didn’t want to waste his breath any further.

Yuan He fell into contemplation, and then said, "Actually, I have a question I want to ask. Chaos Martial Ancestor, where exactly do you come from?"

This question had been asked by many people before.

Sun Wukong’s response had always been that of a traveler through time and space, a recorder of history.

He assumed the role of an observer, even a participant.

But he never used his power to change the course of events.

Very few people have doubted this explanation.

Yuan He sighed and said, "Mr. Lu Yang once told me that, in that era, the Chaos Martial Ancestor certainly didn’t exist. The origins of the Chaos Martial Ancestor are mysterious and unfathomable,

Mr. Lu Yang even suspects that you, the Chaos Martial Ancestor, are the incarnation or perhaps the reincarnation of the Great Path."

Following this, he drew a character in the air with his hand.

When Sun Wukong saw the character, his usually untroubled heart suddenly stirred slightly.

"Do you recognize this rune, Chaos Martial Ancestor?" Yuan He asked, as if reminiscing.

"This character, Mr. Lu Yang has seen the Great Path depict more than once. Just like this character, he has seen the Great Path create many different ones.

Mr. Lu Yang suspects that the truth behind the passing of the Great Path is hidden within these characters. And judging by your reaction, Chaos Martial Ancestor, you must recognize it, right?" Yuan He ventured.

Now, it was Sun Wukong’s turn to be silent.

Truthfully, he had let Yuan He in just to ask some questions.

Since Yuan He didn’t know, Sun Wukong wasn’t planning to let him stay any longer.

Until he saw Yuan He write the character for ’home.’

The simplified Chinese character ’home’—familiar to the netizens of Zhihu!

Once, Sun Wukong had used Chinese characters, like when the golden list was revealed.

He had also seen them, such as when the Supreme of the Dao Realm sealed away the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, the character for ’seal’ had caught his attention at that time.

The appearance of Yuan He now, writing the character for ’home’, astonished him greatly.

Because he knew very well that, although the Vast Wilderness had constantly been changing, up to now, no history or modern civilization as spoken of by the netizens of Zhihu had emerged, and neither had the simplified Chinese characters.

Yuan He took a deep breath: "Such characters, Mr. Lu Yang has seen with the Great Path. The Supreme of the Dao Realm and the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning may have seen some other characters, but this ’home’ character, they have never seen."

"From this, it can be asserted that, Chaos Martial Ancestor, even if you are not the reincarnation of the Great Path, you are inextricably linked to it."

Immediately following, Yuan He knelt on one knee, his face sincere, and said, "I am acting on Mr. Lu Yang’s orders to pursue the truth of the Great Path and to investigate the details of the Chaos Martial Ancestor.

Since the Chaos Martial Ancestor recognizes this character, then following Mr. Lu Yang’s command, until Mr. Lu Yang returns, I, Yuan He, am willing to follow the orders of the Chaos Martial Ancestor!"

Seeing Yuan He like this, Sun Wukong was not greatly moved but merely chuckled lightly.

"Just because of a character, you, a Supreme with two thousand nine hundred Dao Divine Patterns, are bending your knee? You may leave! That so-called Mr. Lu Yang has nothing to do with me."

"But..."

Yuan He wanted to say more, but with a wave of Sun Wukong’s hand, his figure disappeared from the Ancestral Martial Palace.

Yuan He’s words, though, were destined to disturb Sun Wukong’s inner peace no longer.

Most importantly, it was the ’home’ character that set off ripples in his heart.

He had been through endless years, from the Monkey King to the Chaos Martial Ancestor ruling over the world of the Vast Wilderness, leading the struggles against various forces of chaos and the cosmos.

It could be said that there were not many in the entire universe of chaos who were stronger than him.

But there was one thing that Sun Wukong always brooded over.

It was the system!

After becoming powerful, he had asked the netizens of Zhihu about the system.

According to their speculation, some say the system is from a higher-dimensional world, selecting hosts to bind and aid in their growth, serving the needs of higher-dimensional life.

An even darker theory claimed that systems reared hosts to provide high-dimensional beings with what they needed for sustenance.

Since there was never a definitive answer, Sun Wukong, over the years, hadn’t delved too deeply, somewhat resigned to his fate.

However, the arrival of Yuan He made him start to trace the origin of the system.

Could the fact that the Great Path powerhouse knew the simplified Chinese characters familiar to Zhihu users mean that the other party came from the same place as the Zhihu users?

And the system was a treasure that the Great Path powerhouse had left for him?

Of course, these were all speculations.

"System, where exactly do you come from, why have you remained by my side, and what purpose do you have?" Sun Wukong pondered.

He researched for a long while, but in the end, came up with nothing.

Forget it!

He could only let nature take its course.

And Yuan He, whom Sun Wukong had expelled from the Dao Realm, gazed at the Vast Wilderness and sighed deeply.

Then he turned and left.

In the blink of an eye, another five thousand years passed by.

The struggle for the mandate of heaven within the Vast Wilderness had reached its final stage and its crucial point.

At this moment, in the central part of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.

A towering arena captured everyone’s attention.

In the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, there was an endless stream of visitors; countless creatures traveled from afar, all to witness the clash for the mandate of heaven.

"Yang Yi has become even stronger than before!" a young man in a golden robe remarked.

He had a youthful face, but his eyes shone with a rebellious independence from the world.

All creatures of the Primordial knew him as the Son of Heavenly Destiny who had once represented the Heavenly Court in battle, Emperor Tian.

Favored by the Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian.

Five thousand years ago, his battle with Yang Yi had been earth-shattering, and ultimately Emperor Tian lost to Yang Yi by half a move.

Although Emperor Tian was proud and felt superior to others, he had a broad mind; a loss was a loss to him.

He would simply find an opportunity to win back what was lost another time.

"All three of them have become much stronger compared to five thousand years ago. Besides, if those three have grown stronger, haven’t the three of us improved as well? Losing the mandate of heaven might not necessarily be a bad thing for us!" said a beauteously dressed young woman by Emperor Tian’s side.

The Vast Sea Demon Court, Mo Yao’er.

Today, Mo Yao’er, compared to five thousand years ago, appeared even more ethereal and charming, as though her every frown and smile could captivate hearts.

Three thousand years ago, she narrowly lost a battle to Ke Zhenyu.

However, compared to five thousand years ago, her strength had also greatly improved.

Even without the title of Son of Heavenly Destiny, she could still stand out among her peers.

"Indeed, the struggle for the mandate of heaven is also a shackle to us," Wu Yun, beside Mo Yao’er, spoke up.

Over the span of five thousand years, all three of them had been defeated.

While they had narrowly lost in the struggle for the mandate of heaven, it hadn’t affected their state of mind.

Now, the three of them had reached the pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint realm.

But at that moment, whether it was them or the other creatures watching, all eyes were on the large arena in the center of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.

This arena was also quite famous within the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.

It was a remnant of the initial setting of the arena in the Vast Wilderness; many powerful figures had dueled upon it, and within the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, many considered it an honor to compete on this stage.

Of course, what these people were looking at now was not the arena itself, but rather the three figures on it.

Ye Haoxuan, dressed in black, held a longsword in his hand with a clean and sharp elegance.

Yang Yi had a peaceful face, sitting on a golden lotus with Buddha’s light shining behind him, bringing tranquility to the soul.

Ke Zhenyu held a long spear, standing straight and tall as if overshadowing heaven and earth.

All three had contested at least once with a Son of Heavenly Destiny; all three were victors.

Although their auras were restrained at this moment, it was apparent that three powerful forces were competing against each other, giving no quarter.

The immense pressure made many creatures tremble.
