Gudako-Faced Sun Wukong

Nezha did it on purpose, of course. Ultimately, the Divine General who guard the heavens completely shut down their minds and locked away their 'humanity', existing merely as 'heavenly generals' on Penglai Island, was not because of their duty.

More than anything, it was the departure of many Immortals and Gods, and the disappearance of many teachers and mentors, that made this young god, who had shone brightly in the Investiture of the Gods War, feel bored with the mortal world.

She has shed her Demonic Nature, but as Divine General, she can still freely control the extent of her humanity, and she will also retain some of her original 'mischievous' personality.

Rovi's eyes twitched, Yu Ji was standing next to him, happened to look over. The moment her crimson eyes met Rovi's, the girl couldn't help but grin.

Did you do this on purpose?

I can only say no.

Yu Ji attributed this to the 'purity' Nezha had previously given Yu Ji; she had no idea that Nezha was being 'mischievous'.

All I can say is... those who know, know.

Rovi sat in the palace at the center of the new heaven, which was based on the old heaven, covered by the 'disc', and whose source was the human mind.

Yu Ji sat beside him.

The position was the same as before in Penglai, and Rovi came up in the same spot.

The palace, with its towering pillars and resplendent gold, is named the ' Lingxiao Palace '.

Looking down from here, you can see layers of nested 'dimensions' below; the same applies upwards.

In the past, the celestial realm was divided into five directions, supported by five ' Heavenly Pillars '. But this new celestial realm is supported by the human mind and consciousness. The human mind is divided into layers, and all kinds of unruly emotions and desires are intertwined. In the instant of its formation, it was divided into four realms, each with nine heavens, for a total of thirty-six heavens.

The highest realm is the abode of the sage, where tranquility and non-action reign; the lowest is the Desire Realm, a mixture of all human nature.

This is all naturally formed.

Rovi neither interfered nor prevented it; he simply stood by and watched.

The Lingxiao Palace is located in the ninth heaven of the first realm. Because the Lingxiao Palace is the ruling class of the 'Heavenly Realm', it is still in the stage of having form and desire. At this moment, Rovi's body resides in the thirty-sixth heaven—a realm of formlessness and Nameless Chaos, which is also the place that only 'Taiyi' can reach and where Taiyi is huddled.

Therefore, even though he was here, he could see all thirty-six heavens at a glance, layer upon layer, nested one upon another.

"You ancestral gods and saints should each return to your positions and perform your duties." Rovi spoke, and the Heavenly Emperor's Edict, a golden word.

"We will obey the Great Celestial Venerable's command!"

"I humbly obey the Great Celestial Venerable's command!"

"I obey the Emperor's decree!"

Amidst the sounds and verses, and the ethereal mists, the ancient sages and deities manifested here bowed in worship.

Nezha cupped his hands and transformed into the Great God of the Three Altars, a great god of the three realms of heaven, earth, and sea, meaning the general of the three armies of 'land, sea, and air,' who oversees all situations in the heavens, on earth, and in the sea.

When she looked up again, she found that the throne of the Heavenly Emperor was empty; Rovi and Yu Ji had both left.

They returned to the present—the new land was on the East China Sea.

"Have they left...?"

Nezha blinked, the flame-like pattern reflected between his brows pulsating slightly. The girl swung the Fire-Tipped Spear in her hand, her full thighs swirling beneath her skirt as she looked out of the Lingxiao Palace.

"Speaking of which, just now, in the East China Sea, it seemed as if a golden light, soaring to the heavens, appeared?"

Nezha's lips curved into a bright smile.

I wonder how things are going for those two?

She meant well by giving that "Queen of Heaven" a push.

The three fairy islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang have vanished without a trace. On the vast sea, waves surge and white foam rolls up in layers.

The sword light flashed again, and Yu Ji landed steadily. Her black velvet cloak billowed in the wind, revealing her shapely figure through the fabric that concealed her delicate body. She looked at Rovi and said, "You... you did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

Rovi, ever the straightforward one, replied, "Yes."

Yu Ji would never believe a hasty denial.

He simply gave up and went all out.

"You rude bastard... um..." Yu Ji's face instantly turned red again.

Becoming the Queen of Heaven, paired with the Heavenly Emperor, was far too unexpected for her. As the Western White Emperor, her status was sufficient. Moreover, it wasn't that she was unwilling; Yu Ji had always been close to Rovi, and she had a deep, almost spiritual, affection for him. She genuinely liked the guy in front of her... It was just that this turn of events was too sudden.

After thinking for a moment, she could only sigh and feign helplessness, "Never mind!"

"The Yin and Yang pairing, the Sun and Moon cycle, are the laws of heaven and earth. I'm not doing this for you—it's simply for the balance of this Vast Divine Land!"

Even now, Yu Ji is still trying to find an explanation for herself.

"I don't recall you having such a high level of thought?"

"Just because I didn't have it before doesn't mean I can't have it now! I am now the Western White Emperor, the God of Metal Nature!" Yu Ji's lips curved into a smile, the blush on her face receding. Having found an excuse for herself, she no longer appeared as flustered and anxious as before.

Yu Ji reached out and flicked her hand; as her velvet shawl and cloak swayed, the beauty of her body was still undisguisedly displayed before Rovi's eyes.

Rovi flicked his sleeve and watched as Yu Ji's bare feet, stepping on the light of the sword, slowly walked towards him.

Something feels off...

He raised an eyebrow.

Then he noticed that Yu Ji's outstretched hand suddenly grabbed his collar, and he stood on tiptoe while being pulled like that.

"Don't misunderstand."

"This is all for the sake of China—"

Their eyes met, and a sly glint appeared in Yu Ji's crimson eyes. She slowly wrapped her other hand around Rovi's waist, her bare, white skin leaning against him.

The so-called "understanding" was, to some extent, intentional on Yu Ji's part.

She could use this as an excuse to convince herself to get closer to Rovi, and use this as an excuse to... 'bully' Rovi!

Her lips curved into a smile, lightly brushing against Rovi's ear. Her raised body swayed gently as the girl lifted one leg slightly.

"What—are you going to back down?"

At this moment, Yu Ji revealed boundless charm.

At this moment, the ' Queen Mother of the West ' possessed a charm she had never shown before.

For a long time, Yu Ji has always remained in the place where she was born. In fact, she has existed for a very long time. In the era when mythology was at its peak and the era when the Harvest Star Vanguard arrived on Earth, she was older than many Immortals and Gods, and even more ancestral than many ancestral gods. However, she took a step out of the place that she had drawn for herself—because in the beginning, she had also stepped out of there, but what she got in return was only malicious treatment and 'good' that was secretly greedy.

The spirit born from the planet can read people's hearts, so she was deceived and also developed fear and disgust.

The ancestral gods tried to pull her out of their "drawn-out prison," but they still failed.

On that day, a person descended from the sky and took away her place of residence.

That day, the man laughed and cursed, but towards her, he showed no malice, no greed, and no condescending pity.

That day, that person took her away from the place of slumber.

He told her about the real world.

Unbeknownst to her, she had also stepped out of the limitations she had set for herself.

Little by little, thread by thread.

Memories of the past flashed before Yu Ji's eyes. Many details that she had previously ignored or paid no attention to brought a knowing smile to her Yu Ji.

So she said,

I can improve too.

She had said that much earlier.

For you, I will no longer stay in the same place.

Yu Ji slowly embraced Rovi and gently pressed her lips together, placing her softness on Rovi's equally pursed lips.

She confessed her feelings, which she had long been unable to hide.

She had long harbored feelings for him.

Rovi frowned. Pushing someone away like that was never his style. Not to mention that he had started to change his mindset now, even in the past, Rovi had always looked down on irresponsible people.

Why flirt if you're not going to marry me?

As Primordial God, backed by the power of the Root on the Throne of Heroes, he is even more confident in bringing the happiness that those who love him and those he loves to desire.

Rovi flicked his sleeve, slowly concealing his figure in the sea with his long sleeve. His hand gently caressed the girl's slender waist, and as their lips met, they listened to the rising and falling sea breeze and the layers of mist rising from the vast ocean...

A moment, or perhaps a long time.

Yu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and slowly separated from Rovi. Her face was slightly flushed, but she still chuckled to herself, "I was right, I didn't misjudge you."

He is not the kind of person who would push others away for the sake of his so-called 'dignity'.

"That's right," Rovi said confidently.

He said, "I've already said, there's nothing in this world that can make me retreat—"

"Tsk... You're really confident!" Yu Ji pursed her lips slightly. "But in any case, I'll still need to give you a lot of guidance afterward."

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor—?"

"Understood, Queen of Heaven Majesty." Rovi flicked his sleeve and slowly grasped Yu Ji's outstretched hand.

Having experienced the initial intimacy, their social standing was thus established.

At that very moment, the mist that had been rising from the vast sea suddenly began to flow erratically, as if a wind was blowing or something was approaching.

"Your Majesty the Emperor—no, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, save me!"

A figure darted in, her long, white hair flashing like a silver lightning bolt in the wind, stirring up layers of white mist as it swept across the water's surface. Water droplets exploded on both sides of the spray, and the awakened figure, her long robe billowing in the wind, outlined her tall and slender figure.

The person who came was an acquaintance of Yu Ji who had met Rovi once before and had given him "help" twice.

Wuzhiqi.

She hurriedly broke through the layers of seawater mist and arrived in front of Rovi. Her body was suspended in the air, and her chest heaved with heavy breathing. She looked quite disheveled. "Your Majesty, help me, stop that guy behind me!"

"There is no one behind you," Yu Ji said.

Wuzhiqi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that there was only mist behind her and not a single figure in sight. She breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little embarrassed and annoyed. "No one? That damned guy actually tricked me!?"

"Hoo... Wuzhiqi, the Wei River God, pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!" She quickly composed herself and her attitude became even more respectful than before.

Even the demon gods who had caused trouble in ancient times showed great respect when they paid homage to the Heavenly Emperor.

In the Huaxia Divine System, 'Heaven' has always been the supreme being, not to mention Emperor Yu, who once sealed away Wuzhiqi and served as the Heavenly Emperor.

How dare she be so arrogant?

"And me too." Yu Ji smiled. "Come, you little monkey—come and pay your respects to the Queen of Heaven!"

"Who do you think you are, Queen of Heaven?" Wuzhiqi retorted instantly. As Ancient Demon God and demon saint, she would not dare to be dismissed.

The next second, Yu Ji displayed her majesty as the 'King of the West' and 'Empress of Queen of Heaven '.

Thump.

Wuzhiqi immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Rovi: "..."

How come I didn't realize this monkey was so shameless before?

He looked Wuzhiqi up and down and said, "You've come at the right time—let me help you Heart Monkey and break the seal!"

"I am repaying you for the two times you helped me before."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare! As for gratitude, that's just what I should do!" Wuzhiqi hurriedly refused, "Unlocking the seal? Don't worry, don't worry!"

"Why?" Yu Ji's crimson eyes flickered. "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything." Despite her appearance as an older sister, Wuzhiqi seemed somewhat weak and Wuzhiqi at this moment, glancing behind her from time to time.

"Really not?"

"Real--"

Aren't you scared?

"I'm not afraid. I Wuzhiqi, the first Ancient Demon Saint. There is nothing in heaven and earth that can frighten me!"

"Really...?" A hand slowly rested on Wuzhiqi's back, and the warm breath blowing over it made Wuzhiqi's body stiffen and tremble.

"I, you, I..."

"Heavenly Emperor, save me!"

Wuzhiqi suddenly stepped forward and hid directly behind Rovi.

"Hmph, someone like you dares to claim to be of the same origin as me?"

A burst of clear, bell-like laughter echoed through the air.

"Another shrew?" Yu Ji frowned.

Rovi stared intently at the 'person' in front of him.

Her short, orange-red hair swayed over her shoulders, and her bright face wore a defiant smile. She wore a red robe, the hem of which revealed her fair skin. Her figure was well-proportioned and full of youthful energy. Behind her, between her pert buttocks, a furry monkey tail, as thick as an erhu, could be seen extending from side to side in the wind.

She hovered in the air, her eyes gleaming with a faint golden light.

she is...

"She is my kinship entity—no, I should say she is my origin." Wuzhiqi is a demon god born in the Wei River. Her origin is indeed a manifestation of the Wei River, but she was born from a 'divine stone' that drifted from the East Sea to the Wei River.

That's why she became known as the 'water monkey'—because her origin is the monkey.

It was the red-haired girl in front of me.

The manifestation of the East Sea Divine Stone.

"No, no, no, I don't have such a stupid clone!" The red-haired girl scratched her red hair and looked at the person in front of her. "This stupid guy said that you two are the Heavenly Emperor Queen of Heaven?"

"Is he the ruler of this world?"

The red-haired girl's eyes rolled around.

"You're not a spirit body, are you?" Rovi could tell at a glance that the girl in front of him was not a spirit body, but rather in a state of possession, like the goddess Ishtar whom he first met in Mesopotamia.

"Of course not. Actually, I was supposed to emerge from the world a hundred years from now. It was thanks to Sister 'Saint Lishan' that I was able to emerge from the world ahead of schedule by retrieving a body from the River of Time!"

The 'monkey' said it was only natural.

Despite the century-long gap, being able to gain freedom ahead of schedule is undoubtedly an extremely pleasant surprise for them.

However, for Rovi, the appearance of this 'girl' was even more unexpected—in the East Sea, a stone monkey appeared from a divine stone. He couldn't possibly not guess what that was. It was Sun Wukong, the ' Great Sage Equal to Heaven ' who is known to every household in China, and that was also his childhood.

But he thought of Sun Wukong.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong was born in a state of possession, and the body he possessed was one that Rovi was familiar with... In this world named after the moon, in the aftermath, or on some other Human History line, the 'last Master ' who saved the world from the crisis of being burned and destroyed on the timeline, the ' Sun Wukong ' with the Gudako face!
