Everyone involuntarily took several steps back. Every one of them knew the name Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Goku; it could be said to be known in every household.
Several centuries ago, Goku had faced the great powers of the Three Realms alone. The Dao Sect's Three Pure Ones, the Buddhist Sect's two Buddhas, and Zhenyuan Daxian of Five Manor Temple—even joining forces, they had been unable to suppress Goku and had instead been seriously wounded by him.
Had it not been for the Buddhist Sect's Six-Character Mantra and Five Elements Mountain, they might all have died back then, and perhaps the entire Three Realms would have been destroyed as well.
Thus, from that time onward, Goku's deeds had spread throughout the Three Realms. Many places had shadow plays and operas, many of them telling stories about Goku. Everyone loved them, and even after several centuries, they still greatly enjoyed watching them.
Many of the younger people looked at Goku with unconcealed admiration in their eyes. They had grown up hearing of Goku's exploits and had all dreamed of becoming Goku, becoming the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
Everyone knew that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was an immensely imposing figure, but they did not know just how difficult the path to becoming the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had been.
"This is the former Grand Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy, Marshal Canopy," Goku introduced again.
Everyone had also heard of Marshal Canopy. Back then, he had been a fine immortal in Heaven and a great general, leading Heavenly Generals in the mortal realm and conquering countless vicious demons.
"This one... is Mystic Spirit King of Cloud Dream Marsh." Goku paused before announcing it to the crowd.
The moment those words were spoken, the people around them erupted into discussion.
