Myth Awakens

China, Super God Academy, cafeteria.

"Victorious Fighting Buddha... You all know who that is, right?"

Leina spoke as she walked, enunciating every word as though she wanted everyone to understand the gravity and danger of the situation.

Everyone watched Leina, their eyes following her. To all present, that name was as earth-shattering as a meteor falling from the sky.

The Monkey King had been the childhood dream and most admired hero of them all.

Ever since films and television had appeared, countless versions of the Monkey King had emerged: the CCTV version, the Zhang-someone version, the Sino-Japanese co-production, the Sino-American co-production... the dark version, and of course, the special version.

Before transmigrating, Jiang Ming had even watched the film Monkey King: Hero Is Back. Jiang Liuer's conversations with Sun Dasheng had made him laugh himself silly. That Sun Dasheng no longer possessed the high spirits and unrivaled arrogance of the one who wreaked havoc in Heaven. Instead, he had gained a touch of earthly warmth that made him feel more approachable.

After entering the internet age, Jiang Ming had to admit that netizens were truly talented. There were all kinds of videos and interpretations. It was just a pity that, of the five master and disciples, only the eldest disciple remained now. A lonely monkey indeed.

Thus, the words Victorious Fighting Buddha were utterly thunderous to Jiang Ming, and even more so to Ge Xiaolun and the others. He could be said to have accompanied them all as they grew up.

"Victorious Fighting Buddha? Isn't that the Monkey King?"

"Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

"Sun Wukong?"

"The super warrior slumbering within your Mythic Realm... has awakened."

Leina spoke as she walked. After sweeping her gaze over everyone and ignoring their whispers, she looked ahead with a solemn expression and said:

"The military wants us... to move out immediately."

It was the first time Ge Xiaolun and the others had seen such a grave expression on Leina's face. In their impressions, Leina had always feared neither Heaven nor Earth, always looking like a god who could handle anything. Yet this time, she was so serious. The trouble must have exceeded all imagination.

"Super Soldier Company, assemble... Prepare to depart."

Under Leina's command, Ge Xiaolun and the others prepared to board a military aircraft for the place where Sun Wukong had appeared—the Southwest Mountain Area, near Liangshan.

At that moment, Jiang Ming was still considering whether he should go witness the Monkey King's strength. Though he was not the legendary Victorious Fighting Buddha but a manufactured being, he was still a Third Generation Super Warrior. He had once fought Pan Zhen of Liesun Star and others alone, leaving both sides severely weakened, and had yet to recover his vitality. That showed just how powerful this Monkey King was.

Jiang Ming was especially interested in Sun Wukong's cloning technique. After all, in the current Super God World, only Celestial Base King He Xi and Sun Wukong knew how to create clones. He was deeply envious! More importantly, he was worried about Qi Lin. With her Divine River Generation Super Gene, her body was far too fragile. If Sun Wukong brought down that Golden Cudgel weighing over ten thousand jin with a single blow... What if Sun Wukong got serious and struck too hard? Wouldn't that be... Besides, Jiang Ming had never known who had created this Sun Wukong. He had his reservations and did not trust this monkey.

As Jiang Ming pondered, Leina's impatient voice rang out:

"Jiang Ming, you don't need to go this time. Come with me and attend a meeting. As the strongest human among Earth's humans at present, it's necessary for you to come with me and meet that old woman."

A quarter of an hour later, Ge Xiaolun and the others had finished preparing and boarded their plane to fly toward their destination. Meanwhile, Jiang Ming followed Leina to a cluster of Western-style buildings. Angel Yan must be in this building, Jiang Ming thought. This meeting is probably with her as well. This would give him a chance to make a deal with her and take the opportunity to warn Keisha. Keisha could not die. At the very least, her death would not serve his interests. More importantly, he had a wish—an obsession, perhaps.

As they went upstairs, Leina's rapid footsteps rang out, revealing her impatience. After all, it would be difficult for Ge Xiaolun and the others to face Sun Wukong alone, a being who had once fought Liesun Star to the point of devastating mutual losses. Though it was said to be an exercise, given Ge Xiaolun and the others' current strength, casualties would be unavoidable if things went wrong! And the person they were about to face was an old demoness. They might even be maliciously implanted with something if they were careless. They had to remain on high alert!

While Leina was thinking, she suddenly spoke to Jiang Ming.

"Jiang Ming, aren't you curious why I didn't let you go with Ge Xiaolun to deal with Sun Wukong?"

Jiang Ming was not at all surprised by Leina's question. After all, he had been too calm, with not a trace of expression on his face, as if everything had already gone according to his expectations. And that was indeed the case. Jiang Ming was rather looking forward to the feeling of the two-dimensional world entering reality.

Leina was also curious about Jiang Ming's mystery. That power alone, his impressive physical strength, and his peculiar methods—she did not believe Jiang Ming's previous explanation. If one could reach such a level merely by casually training, then wouldn't everyone become gods? Earth would not have needed her to come here.

Still, to keep Leina from pressing him, Jiang Ming explained, "Don't think of me as Ge Xiaolun, someone who knows nothing. I may be an Earthling, but I'm not cut off from information."

Hearing this, Leina seemed to understand something. She did not say much, merely reminding him casually to be more careful later.

Far away, in the Southwest Mountain Area, near Liangshan.

Ge Xiaolun and the others had already arrived at their destination. Their aircraft landed at a nearby temporary military camp to avoid alerting Sun Wukong.

The entire Liangshan area had been placed under military lockdown. Several jeeps drove along the winding mountain road toward Sun Wukong's pagoda. Ge Xiaolun and his group were inside them.

"They said it was Sun Wukong. The target's mobility is too strong... The military has no way to deal with him. He jumped across several provinces in a row and launched attacks on us, but we didn't return fire..."

The one escorting Ge Xiaolun's group to Liangshan was the Reconnaissance Company Commander responsible for scouting in the Southwest Military Region. Seeing the suffocating atmosphere in the vehicle, with Ge Xiaolun and the others remaining silent and asking nothing about the current situation, he could only take the initiative to explain in detail.

"First mysterious robots, then silver-armored angels, and now Sun Wukong, and then you people..."

"Is this still the world I know?"

Seeing that Ge Xiaolun and the others remained taciturn and ignored him, the Reconnaissance Company Commander helplessly went straight to the point.

"Fine, then you're that... special forces unit, right?"

Qiang Wei, who had been lost in thought, came back to herself at that moment. Hearing the commander's words, she replied:

"Super Soldier Company."

The commander drove the jeep while glancing once more at the rearview mirror, then continued:

"He's at the top of that tower in the mountains over there."

"He arrived not long ago. We don't dare alert him."

The commander spoke once more, then stepped on the brakes. The convoy immediately came to a stop.

"We're here!"

The Reconnaissance Company Commander turned around and spoke to Ge Xiaolun and the others.

"We can only take you this far. The rest is up to you!"

Qiang Wei nodded to the Reconnaissance Company Commander, then said to Ge Xiaolun and the others:

"Maintain formation, everyone. Move out."
