Chapter 1160 The Monkey King Returns
You are daydreaming and scratching your head.
[You don't choose the place or time of your journey, you will travel randomly.]
[Since your current simulation tendency is Chaotic Good, the benefits of this map will receive an additional 50% bonus.]
You randomly traveled to Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan in 2021. From this moment on, the wheel of history begins to turn.
On July 2021, 7, when you opened your eyes, you discovered that you had truly escaped the constraints of the Five Elements Mountain, just as the voice had said. After paying a huge price, you arrived in a rather strange place.
[The so-called price should be to abandon the body under the Five Elements Mountain. Your current body is not your original body, but a short ape that was sealed here.]
[Before this, you had been sealed beneath the Five Elements Mountain in your original world for 128 years. You had vowed that if anyone could set you free, you would repay them with all your might. So before crossing over, you asked that voice, what did it want in return?]
The answer is this: Walk, see, and follow your heart.
You smiled. That's right. Just walk, watch, and follow your heart. You were born free, and all you want is to follow your heart.
[There was still a relatively weak spiritual consciousness within this body, which only lasted for a fraction of a second before being absorbed by you.]
[At this moment, before you lies a massive seal. From your perspective, your position resembles the guardianship of a ghost gate. A vast amount of mana energy has formed into divine power, transforming into chains that bind you to the spot, forming a deep prison, forcing you to guard this temple.]
According to my previous incarnation's memories, this place is called Saiten-gu, an annex of Nikko's Tosho-gu Shrine. You have been bound here for five hundred years, having long since surrendered. You normally guard the temple while sealed. When necessary, the shrine maiden, using the purgatory technique, weakens the seal, allowing you to evade demons and monsters.
[In addition to this, there is more information related to this world. In the ancient times of this world, there were no gods in the world, only a group of extremely powerful beings.]
These powerful beings have no names, no species, but each possesses its own power. To control them, the human ancestors of this world invented a ritual. A ritual called mythology. They gave these beings names and wove various myths to worship them, revering them as gods, all-knowing, omnipotent, and immortal beings.
While the gods acquired their names and myths, they were also unable to overstep their bounds. Whether bestowing favors on humanity or seeking revenge, they remained within the scope of their duties. Furthermore, as the gods imbued myths with their own power, they also developed what humans call godhood as they created their own world.
However, if a god attempts to transcend his name and the meaning of his myths, he is called a disobedient god. He goes against the myths woven by humans, wanders the world, and brings great disasters to mankind.
When these disobedient gods descend, they often combine myths from the past and those newly derived. Humans are absolutely invincible, unless a series of miraculous coincidences occur, in which case humans might be able to defeat the gods.
Humans can kill disobedient gods and devour their souls, gaining their power and becoming godslayers. Humans who become godslayers learn the Thousand Languages, gain night vision, and their bodies become extremely strong.
[Also, the power gained by killing a disobedient god is determined by the character of the godslayer. It is even possible to gain a power that has nothing to do with the gods, but the scope of the power will never exceed the scope of killing gods.]
[And now, you are, in a sense, a god. Surrounding you are myths from the Chinese divine realm, such as the Havoc in Heaven and the Journey to the West.]
[As for the Four Heavenly Kings, Erlang Shen, and the Jade Emperor, these old acquaintances of yours are all in the Chinese Divine Realm and have their own myths and legends.]
When you return to the Chinese Divine Realm, you will replace the you of this world, replace the fate of the other, and complete the story of Havoc in Heaven and Journey to the West. This is what the gods of this world must experience.
[But if you choose to break free from the constraints of mythology and do things beyond the meaning of the name and myth you were given, you will become a disobedient god.]
Although you didn't experience the so-called Journey to the West in your past life, it's clear that under the influence of these myths and legends, another you in this world developed a divine nature and was then replaced by you at this moment.
[So, why did you in this world become a subordinate of a group of Japanese people, and even completely surrender? ]
[At this moment, a heavily made-up Japanese shrine maiden screamed, "Hurry, the Monkey God is trying to seize the Bi Ma Wen spell!"]
[Instantly, a powerful force descends from the sky, attempting to control your will and body, forcing you back into the cage.]
This is the divine power of Tosho Daigongen, formed from the mantras gathered from sacred sites across Japan. Together, they form the mechanism "Himawen," which accomplishes the previously impossible and binds the rebellious gods.
"The Bimawen curse? You grit your teeth coldly. I am the Monkey King, born from stone. I possess boundless magical powers, a myriad of transformations. I wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, display martial arts, commit crimes, and display evil! My surname is Sun, my name is Wukong, and I call myself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"
[The so-called divine power of Tosho Daigongen was not even qualified to restrain you, and you broke free in an instant!]
According to my original memory, this is a religious structure built by Tokugawa Ieyasu as the incarnation of the god who protects the nation. It's currently surrounded by a large number of priests, shrine maidens, and monks. They are collectively casting powerful spells and incantations, channeling the "Bimawen" spell in an attempt to reseal you.
At the same time, a Japanese god with a face painted white and clad in armor descended, holding a massive golden spear. This was Tosho Daigongen, the protector of this world's Japanese nation. Behind him stood sixteen other gods wearing similar armor. They were the Sixteen Generals of the Tokugawa clan, a combination of the "Four Heavenly Kings" and the "Twelve Generals."
"This place is very close to the divine realm, Amaterasu Shrine, so this is also a very logical thing to do. Hey, when did you start pursuing logic?"
Although this body isn't very strong yet, you're not afraid of such humble gods, even those of heavenly soldiers and generals. You pull an iron needle from your ear, blow on it, enlarge it, and strike Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakibara Yasumasa, who are charging towards you, head-on.
In a moment so brief it couldn't be shorter, Honda Tadakatsu, who, according to legend, fought 57 battles in his lifetime without a scratch, had his myth shattered and turned to ashes. With one strike, you appeared in mid-air, and before everyone's horrified gaze, you raised the Ruyi Jingu Bang high in your hand and swung it down with all your might.
This weapon weighs 13,500 kilograms. In your hands, it transforms into an iron rod about two feet long and as thick as a bowl. A single swing causes a sudden change between heaven and earth, and the air becomes turbulent.
The first thing to shatter was the corridors of the netherworld. Amidst the blindingly fierce wind, under the staggering pressure, the cage that held you crumbled, inch by inch, and reduced to ash. A hole over a hundred meters deep appeared in the earth. The magnificent temple and surrounding shrines were blown away by your blow. Not even a trace of dust remained of the awe-inspiring Tosho Daigongen (Tokugawa Ieyasu) and the sixteen divine generals.
In an instant, your body has transformed back into that monkey wearing a phoenix-wing purple-gold crown, golden chain mail armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.
【The Monkey King has returned.】
