Inside the Super Seminary office
Sitting opposite Lena and Yi Chen was Angel Yan. She crossed her legs, smiled, and said:
"Sorry for delaying your schedule. You aren't going to jump over here and hit me, are you, little girl?" Yan leaned forward slightly and teased Lena.
Then she turned her gaze to Chen Yi. "Hehe, we meet again, kid."
"Not for now... Old Goblin." Seeing Yan teasing her team member right in front of her, Lena fired back.
"You..." Angel Chase, standing behind Yan, pointed at Lena angrily, but Yan interrupted her before she could lose her temper.
"If that bunch of little brats can't even deal with a monkey, I suggest you make a run for it as soon as possible."
"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me, why are you here?"
Yan put away her teasing expression and said seriously, "Earth has suddenly been exposed, completely unprotected, before the eyes of all the major civilizations." She paused after saying this.
"And we angels must first ensure that it remains under... the name of justice." As she spoke, she tapped the desk several times with her finger, showing how important this matter was.
"Hmph. We of the Blazing Sun Civilization don't have the word 'justice.' Why don't you explain it to me?" Lena said with disdain.
"Justice is..." Angel Chase began, but after Yan shot her a glance, she fell silent.
"To be honest, I envy you..."
"Carefree..."
"Throughout my seven-thousand-year fighting career... I've constantly worried about my own tomorrow or theirs." As Yan spoke, she turned sideways and glanced at Angel Chase and Angel Mo Yi.
"Hmph..." Lena did not take it to heart, but Yan did not mind either and continued:
"The word 'justice' came into existence seventeen thousand years ago. When Holy Kaisha governed Angel City, she established an extremely reasonable set of laws to ensure the... orderly development of the Known Universe... We call it... the Justice Order!"
Yan continued:
"And a certain kind of depravity called the Ultimate Fear, as well as Extreme Liberalism, was defined as... evil!"
"That's enough!"
Unable to hold back, Lena raised her hand and interrupted Yan.
"Angels like brainwashing people!"
Angel Yan frowned.
"Don't put it so harshly... We can indeed directly read certain information from you and transmit it straight into your brains..."
"Malicious implantation!"
Lena clenched her fists. She disliked some of the things the angels did.
"I've studied you... the Blazing Sun Civilization... You place importance on peace and prosperity!"
"Hmph..."
"Our values are quite similar..."
Elsewhere, the battle between the members of Xiong Bing Lian and Monkey Brother was also drawing to a close. Everyone had suffered injuries of varying severity, mainly because of Qiang Wei's poor command at the start.
The rest of the battle had mainly consisted of Chen Yaowen restricting Sun Wukong's movements, Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun fighting him head-on, Zhao Xin and Rui Mengmeng standing on the flanks and ready to take their places at any moment, and Qi Lin attacking from range while also controlling Monkey Brother's movements. After a fierce struggle, they finally achieved victory.
"Hahahaha..."
Just then, Sun Wukong's uninhibited laughter echoed around them.
"Things are different now! You did pretty well!" The voice came from behind them, startling everyone into turning around.
They saw Sun Wukong sitting on a tree branch, completely unharmed and looking at them with approval.
"Huh?"
"This..."
"I've been in this world for a very long time..."
Facing everyone, Sun Wukong explained, "You're all children... while I am this world's... Victorious Fighting Buddha! Hehe..."
Liu Chuang looked at the huge stone ball in the sky, then at Sun Wukong on the branch. He said excitedly, "Uh... Mon... Monkey Brother... Hey! That was the Shadow Clone Technique, right? Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! Right?"
"Tch!" Monkey Brother rolled his eyes, his face full of disdain.
"Are you all dumbfounded?" Wukong looked at everyone and spoke. Then he flipped over and made a graceful leap down from the branch before walking toward them.
"But it doesn't matter... You're pretty impressive. You wore me out... But... some people won't get past my test!"
As he spoke, Wukong walked up to Liu Chuang, lifted him with one hand, and gestured to the others.
"Everyone, wait here..."
He then flew away with Liu Chuang.
In an empty corner, Wukong threw Liu Chuang to the ground and said coldly, "Get lost!"
Then he turned and walked away.
Liu Chuang was somewhat dumbfounded. He did not understand what Monkey Brother meant, but he still stepped forward and said, "Heh heh... Monkey Brother... I..."
"I said get lost!"
Sun Wukong turned around and pointed the Golden Cudgel at Liu Chuang, his voice filled with disgust.
He then sent Liu Chuang flying with a single swing. Liu Chuang crashed into a large tree, and several leaves fell onto his head, making him look rather miserable.
Wukong followed him and pressed the Golden Cudgel against Liu Chuang's forehead. He said viciously, "Get lost! I don't need you!"
"Hey... Monkey Brother... Monkey Brother..."
Liu Chuang hurriedly climbed to his feet.
"I-I-I... I'm... I really want to become your warrior!"
Liu Chuang sounded agitated. Sun Wukong had been his childhood idol, and he had never dared to imagine fighting alongside him. But now that he had such an opportunity, Wukong was telling him to leave the team. Even as a grown man, he could not accept it.
"Go!"
Sun Wukong sent Liu Chuang flying into a tree with another swing. Liu Chuang quickly climbed back up, but Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel was waiting for him again.
Wukong jabbed Liu Chuang in the chest with the cudgel, making him stagger and fall to the ground. He then struck Liu Chuang three more times before finally kicking him away.
"Get lost! My team doesn't need a thug!"
After saying this, Sun Wukong hoisted the Golden Cudgel onto his shoulder and prepared to leave.
Seeing that he really intended to leave, Liu Chuang grew anxious. Ignoring his pain, he rushed behind Sun Wukong and tightly hugged his leg.
Liu Chuang's face was covered in tears, his heart filled with sorrow.
In a choked voice, he begged Sun Wukong bitterly:
"Monkey Brother... Monkey Brother... I'm not... I'm not, I swear... Monkey Brother... Monkey Brother... Let me join you... Let me join you, Monkey Brother..."
"Go!"
Sun Wukong kicked Liu Chuang away again and pointed at him furiously.
"Do you think you're worthy? I told you to get lost!"
He finished speaking and turned around again, determined to leave.
This time, Liu Chuang did not get back up. He knelt on the ground, tears dripping into the grass. The carefree man he had been before had now become a sobbing mess.
"Monkey Brother... Monkey Brother..."
Thinking of the crisis that was about to descend upon Earth, Sun Wukong ultimately chose to stop. He still had to discipline Liu Chuang. He knew Liu Chuang's past—it was almost too shameful to remember. Before joining Xiong Bing Lian, he had been nothing but a complete thug. Although joining Xiong Bing Lian had changed him somewhat, in Sun Wukong's eyes, it was still not enough. That was why he had to keep knocking some sense into him.
Liu Chuang slowly straightened his body, but did not stand. He remained kneeling on the ground.
He slowly voiced the words he had held inside for a long time:
"Monkey Brother... I'm a thug... I... I'm a grown man too..."
Liu Chuang wiped away his tears, then shouted firmly:
"I want to be a warrior!!!"
Wukong slowly turned and walked toward Liu Chuang, then kicked him down once more.
Liu Chuang lay on the ground, unable to stop his tears from flowing.
"Monkey Brother... Monkey Brother..."
Sun Wukong stepped on Liu Chuang's chest, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "I, Sun Wukong, swear to Heaven: if you leave the righteous path, I'll break your legs!"
Liu Chuang looked at Sun Wukong and solemnly swore, "I, Liu Chuang, swear to Heaven that I will never leave the righteous path! I will never betray my comrades!"
Sun Wukong raised his foot and pointed toward the others.
"Get back to the team!"
Liu Chuang quickly climbed up, saluted Sun Wukong, and shouted, "Yes!"
By now, the sky had begun to brighten. Sunlight broke through the shackles of darkness and shone down on everyone.
A brand-new day had begun once again.
"You think... Monkey Brother is one of us, right?"
Zhao Xin asked Cheng Yaowen, who was standing beside him.
"I think Monkey Brother doesn't seem like a bad person..." Yaowen voiced his opinion.
"I think so too..."
Zhao Xin rubbed his head and continued, "Hey, then why did he attack us just now?"
"Monkey Brother may have only been testing us..."
At that moment, Liu Chuang appeared in everyone's line of sight, and everyone gathered around him worriedly.
Sun Wukong slowly emerged from behind Liu Chuang with the Golden Cudgel in his hand and asked, "Are you going to subdue demons and vanquish evil?"
Ge Xiaolun answered, "They say... aliens..."
"It's all the same! Anyone who harbors evil thoughts is a demon!
"But... how are you going to fight them?"
Qiang Wei said, "We'll fight hard!"
"Hmph heh heh heh..."
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "So 'fight hard' means you don't know how to fight!
"Even I, Old Sun, don't know..."
Sun Wukong walked to the edge of the cliff and looked back at everyone.
"Among a thousand worlds, there is only one where they will grow into the shape of humans...
"Only a world of humans can have kindness and compassion...
"I, Old Sun, must protect it on behalf of my master!
"This will be a Heavenly Tribulation..."
In the distance, the rising sun climbed into the sky. Dawn spread across the earth, and everything looked especially solemn and... beautiful.
Sun Wukong walked to the edge of the cliff. Gazing at the boundless mountains and rivers of his homeland, he said from the bottom of his heart:
"Who says we have no clothes? I'll share my robe with you!"
"Compassion has already visited this world, and justice will remain as well..."
Angel Yan looked at Lena with a smile.
Lena nodded. She agreed with this point as well.
"I'll report this to Holy Kaisha..."
"Thank you..." Lena said. Yan turned her head to the side and looked at Yi Chen.
"Kid, do you want to visit the Angel Nebula? It's full of kind and beautiful angels!"
Yi Chen shook his head and smiled faintly.
He still had more important things to do. The Taotie Civilization was about to invade Earth, and he had to remain on Earth to improve his strength and prepare for the crisis that was about to arrive.
"The Taotie Civilization is about to attack. I have to stay on Earth for now. We can talk about it after everything settles down."
Yi Chen smiled at Yan. Seeing his smile, Yan could not help remembering Queen Keisha's words. She turned her head away, her pretty face growing slightly warm.
"Hehe... I'll be waiting for you!" After saying this, the pure white wings behind Yan fluttered lightly, and in the blink of an eye, she left Earth together with Mo Yi and Angel Chase.
On the way back to the Angel Nebula, Yan reported to Queen Keisha:
"Queen, the Taotie from the Styx Galaxy are about to launch a large-scale invasion of Planet Earth, and Earth's Super Seminary has rejected our assistance."
"Respect the Super Seminary's decision for now."
"While I was there, I also saw Galaxy Power, the Nuoxing War God, and... an interesting fellow."
"Oh? An interesting fellow? You mean that little fellow you encountered last time? Get along with him properly. You're seven thousand years old now. Be a little more mature."
Change the book's title. I feel the original one doesn't sound very good.
