The Legend of Journey to the West Sequel Speedrun
Yihe's death caused the sun to reappear in the form of Three-legged Golden Crow, thus uniting the three realms into one.
As the Taiyin God, Li Lin ruled over the remaining demons in the Demon Realm.
The Spirit of Darkness vanished completely, replaced by the Spirit of Taiyin.
This also caused the Demon Race to lose their bloodthirsty nature.
In the Moon Palace, Li Lin once again activated the [Great Thousand Divine Mirror], embarking on a new journey.
But his disappearance did not cause the Taiyin God to disappear.
Even in the world of the Jingwei Fills the Sea, the Taiyin God still resides; and in the world of the Lotus Lantern, Li Lin still exists.
The only difference is that Dingxiang, Xiaoyu, Jingwei were indeed transferred along with the [Great Thousand Divine Mirror].
"This is another world?" Jingwei closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "What a peculiar Spirit of the Sun. Although its power seems different from that of other celestial bodies, mountains, and rivers, it is essentially the same."
"It's as if their originally distinct spiritual powers were mixed up and then reclassified."
"This is Qi," Xiaoyu said. "All things are generated from Qi."
"What world is this?" Dingxiang asked Li Lin.
"Sun Wukong is upright and incorruptible. Even after becoming a Buddha, he still dares to fight against injustice in the Heavenly Court and become a protector of Buddhism in the world." Li Lin said, "This world is very interesting. The divine stone from which Sun Wukong was born is a boneless relic in the Buddhist realm."
"The Tathagata Buddha, Wutian Sun Wukong, who swallowed sixteen relics, are the strongest beings in this world."
"But when faced with Wutian, the Tathagata Buddha chose to pass away and be reborn as a human, leaving Wutian to Sun Wukong."
"I myself started dating, and I was in a relationship with two people."
"That Tathagata Buddha is so evil!" Dingxiang said.
"No, this is an opportunity for Wutian," Li Lin said. "Before Tathagata became Buddha, the Buddhist realm was just as corrupt as the Heavenly Court. Wutian's previous incarnation was Kinnara Bodhisattva, who was the great protector of the Upaladara at that time. He was ordered to go to the barbarian lands to spread Buddhism as a mortal."
"Even though he was just an ordinary person, he still managed to convert the wicked A Dao to good, the thief A Liu to stop stealing, and the prostitute Axiu to become a respectable woman, thus fulfilling the local high priest's request to spread Buddhism."
"But he was instead burned at the stake by the high priest, and it was only by Axiu sacrificing himself to the high priest that he was saved."
"In the end, Axiu proved his loyalty with his death. He completed his mission, but lost Axiu."
"Faced with Axiu's death, Upaladara Buddha, who preached the equality of all beings, appeared. He ignored this mortal woman and focused only on the form. Seeing that Kinnara had broken the precept against lust, he said that Kinnara's six senses were impure and that she was not worthy to be a Buddha."
"Then Kinnara was expelled from the Buddhist order and driven out of Spirit Mountain."
"After that, Kinnara entered the demonic path and became Moluo."
"Before the Buddha attained enlightenment, he appeared in the snow while cultivating his six-zhang golden body, which caused him to be swallowed by a peacock."
"When Tathagata attained a six-zhang golden body, he burst forth from the peacock's belly, while the Black Lotus that Moluo had transformed into remained inside the peacock's belly. Eventually, it was born and transformed into Wutian, who possessed the same Mana as Tathagata and was born from the same mother."
"The Buddha could not stop Wutian; the two are equal."
"And Wutian originally possessed the destiny to rule the Three Realms Thirty-three Heavens. This was generated by the combination of his origin, his Mana, his innocence and his wrongful conviction, his merits, and his vision."
"But unfortunately, Wutian is no longer the kind Kinnara."
Kinnara also knew the hypocrisy of the Buddhist world, but he still had goodness.
"His subordinates were all Demons and Monsters, and when they replaced the gods and Buddhas in heaven and on earth, they did no better than the original gods and Buddhas."
"On the contrary, they commit all sorts of evil deeds."
"Otherwise, it would be more than Thirty-three Heavens."
"It could even be permanent."
"Only Thirty-three Heavens?" Dingxiang asked in confusion.
"It is the Thirty-three Heavens in the heavens, or thirty-three years in human time," Li Lin said. "Thirty-three years is enough time for two generations to be born in this era, for the elderly to die and for children to be born."
"But Wutian did not deliver a perfect answer to this world."
"They only know how to eliminate the so-called threats—the reincarnation of the Tathagata Buddha, the sixteen relics, and Sun Wukong."
"Then what should I do, Heavenly Emperor?" A voice came from the Black Lotus that appeared out of thin air, and then transformed into a man wearing a black robe with cascading black hair.
White mist rose from around him, and a monk with the same face as the man emerged from it.
"Wutian, the answer is simple. Ancient Buddha Dipankara has already told us that evil cannot prevail over good."
"What is evil, and what is good? The Buddha once said that there is no self and no sentient being, so why did he treat me, Wutian, that way?"
He was asking and answering questions with another version of himself.
"In this world, you are the Heavenly Emperor!" Jingwei exclaimed in surprise.
Because of Yihe, the term "Heavenly Emperor" had almost become stigmatized in her mind.
"These are Wutian and Kinnara?" Dingxiang thought of the story.
Li Lin then interrupted their conversation, saying, "Wutian, it wasn't Tathagata who banished you. He even always referred to you as Black-Robed Shakyamuni, not as Evil Demon."
"You want to rebel against and destroy the Buddhist realm, but it disappeared 330,000 years ago."
"The Buddha is much smarter than you. He knew the injustice done to the Dragon King Jinghe. He deliberately pretended to punish Sun Wukong, and then stepped forward to support him when Sun Wukong found evidence and made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace. In the end, he even appointed him as a protector of the Buddhist realm, thus showing his attitude."
The Dragon King Jinghe in this world was framed for offending the Lord of Fire Virtue.
The Jade Emperor knew it was wrong, yet he still unjustly killed the Dragon King Jinghe.
After Sun Wukong became a Buddha, he stood up for the White Dragon Horse and was punished by the Buddha, who confiscated his Ruyi Jingu Bang magic staff) and spread the rumor that Sun Wukong's power was all due to the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
This is why King Qin Guang dared to poison Sun Wukong, thus exposing his crimes.
"You can be dissatisfied, you can rebel, but once you sit in the position of the ruler of the Three Realms, you really have to do things for the Three Realms."
"Slaying demons and monsters, ensuring favorable weather and abundant harvests, and maintaining the normal operation of reincarnation—these are all things you, as the ruler of the Three Realms, must do."
"What you think is the fixed fate of the Thirty-three Heavens is just because your Moluo side has never disappeared, and you have taken your anger out on the entire Buddhist world. You reject people in the Buddhist world who are on the same path as you, Kinnara, such as Tang Sanzang, Guanyin, and Kinnara Sun Wukong. You only occasionally look at Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang differently."
"If Kinnara were to appear before Dipankara, he would not become a relic and thus become an obstacle to your destruction."
"No, this is destiny." Wutian shook his head. "Aynafa, the Six-Eared Macaque, the Black Robe, and the Giant Scorpion all harbor the same resentment towards this world as I do, and their subordinates are all bloodthirsty Demons and Monsters."
"They are all losers like me, marginal figures in this world."
"I cannot achieve what you are saying with them."
"You're a loser too, Di Jun."
Beyond the Southeast Sea, between the Gan River, lies the land of Xi He, where a woman named Xi He bathes the suns in the Gan Abyss. Xi He the wife of Di Jun, and she gave birth to ten suns.
In this world, Li Lin's name is Di Jun.
The ten suns are his sons.
But the Heavenly Emperor and the Jade Emperor of this world are not related.
His sons fled Tanggu and caused the disaster of ten suns appearing at once. After nine of them were shot down by Da Yi, he killed Da Yi, resigned from his position as Heavenly Emperor, and disappeared from the Three Realms.
"Loser?" Li Lin summoned the Sun Stone. "I still have the power to break your so-called destiny and seize the power of the Three Realms."
Jingwei and the others were not surprised by the appearance of the Sun Stone.
In their minds, Li Lin is an adventurer who travels to various worlds, appears as his deceased self in that world, corrects his fate to make it more perfect, and receives rewards from the world.
This [Sun Stone] was given to Li Lin by the world where Jingwei lived, and it has nothing to do with the one belonging to Emperor Yan.
"I voluntarily relinquished my rights, rather than being judged. Only I can judge myself."
"Yes. What should this humble monk do?" Faced with the magnificent divine Kamui, even more so than the Buddha's Buddha's Light, Wutian immediately cowered.
"Let professionals do professional things," Li Lin said. "Even a toilet stick can be useful. If you and your subordinates are full of hatred for the world, then let them vent their hatred in the right place."
"Those gods and Buddhas you imprisoned are only being held in captivity. Isn't that too lenient with them? Why not let them do anything?"
"Don't say they're not cooperating. What you're asking them to do is the right thing, their original duty, and it's a good thing. As long as they truly care about all living beings, they will definitely cooperate."
"Your subordinates don't know how to do their jobs, how to be righteous gods. So, when assessing righteous gods, you can't prevent them from doing bad things, and you can't just rely on so-called personal relationships or conventions, can you?"
"Furthermore, your Black Lotus can also control them."
"Furthermore, those who have committed heinous crimes but have been pardoned because of their nepotistic relationship with the Buddha, such as being his uncle, should also be severely punished and publicly tried by your own people and in front of those gods and Buddhas."
"This humble monk will do as the Heavenly Emperor says." Wutian met Kinnara's gaze for the first time, and they smiled at each other.
"Will he really succeed?" Jingwei took the Sun Stone and played with it in her hand.
"Yes," Li Lin nodded, "As long as he does exactly what I say."
"If Wutian clever as to send a fake Guanyin to convey his message to Sun Wukong, trying to trick Sun Wukong into finding the reincarnated child for him, the sixteen relics would not have been obtained. First, a fake Bajie was sent to infiltrate and slander the reincarnated child as a demon child."
"Sun Wukong only stays on Flower-Fruit Mountain."
"Among those who will remind him."
"The Golden-Winged Great Peng was a great demon that Carnage the humans of an entire nation, and it was only because of Buddha that it was not judged."
"To cover up his crimes, King Qin Guang even poisoned Sun Wukong, which is why the Jade Emperor was safe."
"If Wutian had listened to you, Brother Taiyin, they should all have been arrested and put on trial by now," Jingwei interjected.
Li Lin nodded and continued, "As for Tang Sanzang, Nezha, and the others, as long as they see Wutian's open and strict judgment, and truly care about the Three Realms, and do a better job than the Jade Emperor, they will not think of causing trouble."
"Zhenyuanzi is a person outside the secular world. As long as the Three Realms are not in chaos, there is no need for him to interfere."
"However, in this way, the reincarnation of Buddha will only have one love affair, and may even lose his virginity."
The Buddha's two romances were with the female bandit White Lotus and Biyou, a disciple of the Emperor Donghua.
It was because Wutian's men caused trouble and Wutian Sun Wukong made a mess that Ling'er was unable to consummate her marriage with White Lotus, leave Fengtou County, and meet Biyou.
"Brother Li, aren't you going to continue being the Heavenly Emperor?" Dingxiang asked in confusion.
"No, I am not entirely Di Jun after all." Li Lin shook his head.
"Where are we going?" Xiaoyu asked.
"Penglai Immortal Island," Li Lin said.
Fengtoushan Village.
Thinking Ling'er was dead, White Lotus wanted to go down the mountain to turn herself in and abandon evil to do good, but she heard his heartbeat.
"Ling'er".
"Lotus."
Seeing that White Lotus was preparing to turn herself in, Ling'er realized that her true nature was kindness, but no one had taught her.
The next second.
The two looked at each other and went back to bed.
The red waves were turned upside down.
The candlelight was bright.
The Jin Guang emanating from the man's back was overlooked.
With a soft hum.
The reincarnated child has completely lost his virginity.
Wanshou Mountain.
Zhenyuanzi paused as he flipped through the "Book of Earth".
Penglai Immortal Island.
Because the Heavenly Emperor had come to visit, Emperor Donghua, who seemed to be eyeing his obedient disciple Biyou and looked worried, suddenly looked towards Spirit Mountain.
Spirit Mountain.
Wu Wutian, who was racking his brains to handle official business, suddenly burst into laughter.
This drew complicated glances from Tang Sanzang and the others, who were wearing Black Lotus on their heads.
Especially after Moluo appeared amidst the dark clouds, he also laughed wildly and disappeared into the dark clouds.
Wutian was still dressed in black, with black hair.
But a sense of peace and tranquility emanated from him.
It's as if Kinnara from 330,000 years ago has returned.
Tang Sanzang and the others sighed, praising Wutian governance, great talent and strategy, wisdom and martial prowess, and virtuous character.
They were running out of excuses to resist.
If Wutian were to replace the Jade Emperor, they would probably have already submitted to him.
But Wutian wanted to be the Buddha. Although the Tathagata Buddha had a stain on his record regarding the Golden-Winged Great Peng, he was already considered wise compared to the previous leaders of the Buddhist world. In the matter of the Dragon King Jinghe, he subtly expressed his position.
Thirty-three Heavens passed in the blink of an eye.
Fengtou County.
Ling'er, who had just become a county magistrate and had two sons, opened her eyes.
"Well."
With a sigh, Buddha stepped out of Ling'er's body.
Ling'er looked at Tathagata and said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye," said the Buddha.
His relationship with Ling'er was like that of Kinnara to Wutian.
They are a real person.
Otherwise, in the original timeline, after he regained his true form Tathagata Buddha, he wouldn't have bestowed titles upon Biyou and the White Lotus Bodhisattva out of personal favoritism.
Now, he can only exist as Ling'er.
The ties of the world continue.
The flaw in his six-zhang golden body cannot be recovered unless he kills another version of himself who is attached to the mortal world— Ling'er, his two children, White Lotus.
But he was not Upaladara after all.
Spirit Mountain.
With the appearance of the Tathagata.
"Paying homage to the Tathagata Buddha."
All the Immortals and Buddhas shouted in unison.
But the Black Lotus that had disappeared above their heads had already indicated their stance.
"I admire you greatly, Tathagata," Wutian exclaimed. "You actually left behind a reincarnated child. The Heavenly Emperor was right after all; you are a pure stream in the Buddhist realm. It's just that you disguised yourself as something murky."
"Heavenly Emperor? Wutian, I am also very surprised." Buddha said with a smile, "You are able to let go."
"I have already taken revenge on the Buddhist realm and swept away injustice. The Moluo appeared because of the injustice and hypocrisy of the Buddhist realm will naturally disappear," Wutian said.
"Very good." Sun Wukong looked at Sun Wukong in the crowd. "What pleases me most is that you are still alive, Wukong. You did not sacrifice yourself according to the ancient Buddhas' plan."
"Although the Namo Great Sage Sarira King Buddha great, the Buddhist world needs the Victorious Fighting Buddha dares to speak out against injustice, the protector of the Buddhist sect."
He can see a part of destiny.
In his original destiny, Wukong would sacrifice himself, his body and soul destroyed, and then return amidst the longing of the immortals Immortals and Buddhas.
But that Wukong is merely the Namo Great Sage Sarira King Buddha.
