Sun Wukong opened his mouth.
He had far too many questions!
Along this journey, everyone around him had been strange, as though they knew so much... while he alone knew nothing.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Sun Wukong pondered briefly before asking the question that concerned him most:
"Master!"
"Your disciple wishes to know whether those seemingly real yet unreal memories in my mind are true."
He was referring to another life.
In that life, which felt like a dream, Sun Wukong was still the Handsome Monkey King of Flower-Fruit Mountain. He still sailed out to seek the Dao, still arrived at Mount Lingtai Fangcun and Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave, and still had Old Ancestor Bodhi...
He still caused Havoc in Heaven.
He still journeyed west with Tang Sanzang to obtain the scriptures!
Only, in that life, Sun Wukong had been suppressed beneath Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years rather than tempered within the Faith True Realm. The journey west had also been different. There was no strange Tang Sanzang, nor was there a Faith Demon God.
They obtained the scriptures smoothly.
And he became the Victorious Fighting Buddha!
Whenever he compared those two lives, Sun Wukong felt a sense of absurdity toward everything before him. It was as though he could see the whole picture and rearrange his own life anew.
Wu Tian smiled upon hearing this.
Just as expected...
His first question was this!
Wu Tian paused briefly, then said with a smile:
"They are true, yet they are not true!"
How should he explain such a matter?
If Sun Wukong's fate were compared to a great river, then Sun Wukong was a fish within it. Being in the river, he could not glimpse what lay ahead.
He could only follow the current onward!
