Doubts

"Old Ancestor Hongmeng, is this the tribulation you arranged? I look very simple; I could solve it with just a drop of water."

Old Ancestor Hongmeng quickly covered Ao Changsheng's mouth and said to Ao Changsheng:

"Fellow Daoist, please don't say that again. You know our strength. Even if it were Sun Wukong, I wouldn't dare to provoke him personally. If he hears what you're saying, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Ao Changsheng looked puzzled upon hearing this, and asked Old Ancestor Hongmeng, "What exactly do you mean by that? Does that mean Sun Wukong, who is currently in the mortal realm, is more powerful than you?"

After hearing Ao Changsheng's words, the Old Ancestor Hongmeng sneered and said to Ao Changsheng, "Fellow Daoist, you are unaware of this."

Everyone says that Sun Wukong sprang from a stone, but that stone was said to have flowed down from when Nüwa mended the sky. This story is still told here today, but only I know the truth.

After speaking, Ao Changsheng looked at Old Ancestor Hongmeng with a puzzled expression. Then, Old Ancestor Hongmeng to explain to Ao Changsheng, saying, "I wonder if you still remember when Sun Wukong dragged King Yama into Hell."

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng nodded, then said to the Old Ancestor Hongmeng:

"I know about this. Isn't this what I asked him to do? It's just that things were a bit far-fetched at the time, so I didn't take it to heart. What's wrong?"

As soon as Ao Changsheng finished speaking, the Old Ancestor Hongmeng looked at Ao Changsheng with surprise and said to Ao Changsheng:

"I thought you'd already figured this out, so I didn't remind you. But haven't you realized it yet? This King of the Underworld is a little bit strange."

"Now that you mention it, I do feel that this King of the Underworld is a bit strange, but I just can't quite put my finger on why. Could you explain it to me in detail?"

At this moment, Ao Changsheng's vigilant nature was once again aroused.

"Actually, when you asked King Yama to capture Sun Wukong, I wanted to remind you, but I saw you were still very interested, so I didn't tell you."

"But I see that this Sun Wukong is becoming more and more different from the Sun Wukong we've seen before, and I finally couldn't help but want to tell you this so that you might be more aware of it."

After saying this, the Old Ancestor Hongmeng couldn't help but keep Ao Changsheng in suspense. However, Ao Changsheng, whose temper was as impatient as Sun Wukong's, said to the Old Ancestor Hongmeng:

"Hurry up and tell me! You're driving me crazy with impatience!"

"I've carefully studied the calamities you devised for the Journey to the West, and I've discovered that the Ten Halls of King Yama seem to be summoning Sun Wukong himself, not Sun Wukong soul."

After speaking, Old Ancestor Hongmeng told Ao Changsheng the truth. Ao Changsheng frowned upon hearing this. Seeing that Ao Changsheng remained silent for a long time, Old Ancestor Hongmeng continued to explain to Ao Changsheng.

"You know there are six cycles of reincarnation in the Underworld, but according to your plan, one is natural death, and the other is accidental death. To take ordinary people as an example, their lifespan will be recorded in the Book of Life and Death."

"Sun Wukong sprang from a stone and doesn't belong to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so how could he be summoned by the Ten Halls of King Yama?"

After the Old Ancestor Hongmeng finished speaking, Ao Changsheng suddenly realized what was going on and said to the Old Ancestor Hongmeng:

"You mean it's impossible for Sun Wukong to be summoned by King Yama, yet my previous arrangements seem to defy common sense."

After speaking, the Old Ancestor Hongmeng nodded, and then Ao Changsheng continued, "If that's really the case, then why did the Ten Halls of King Yama find Sun Wukong? There must be another Life Book of Life and Death!"

Upon hearing Ao Changsheng's words, the Old Ancestor Hongmeng quickly shook his head and said to Ao Changsheng, "You must not ask me about this matter."

"I've heard so much from you; some people are probably already itching to get their hands on this."

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng suddenly realized what was happening and said to the Old Ancestor Hongmeng.

"Fellow Daoist, are you implying that some people must have arrived here before us?"

After speaking, the Old Ancestor Hongmeng nodded, and then He Ao Changsheng uttered two words in unison.

"Luo Hou!"

After saying those two words, Ao Changsheng looked at the Old Ancestor Hongmeng with a puzzled expression and said:

"But why would he be so bored as to meddle in our affairs? Besides, he knows the consequences; if he were to act rashly, he would surely die a gruesome death."

"That's why he asked others to help him, because he knew he would die a gruesome death."

Old Ancestor Hongmeng patted Ao Changsheng on the shoulder and said something to Ao Changsheng. However, at this moment, Ao Changsheng thought of someone else: Guiche.

Meanwhile, Luo Hou and Guiche were at the place where Chaos had just begun, and they were talking. Luo Hou said to Guiche:

"I'm afraid this matter will attract the attention of those two immortal beings, Old Ancestor Hongmeng and Ao Changsheng. We must find a way to eliminate them so that we can use the Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation to strengthen our power and our own strength."

Guiche scoffed, "Don't worry about that. I have my ways of getting rid of them. But for now, we need to take care of ourselves."

"Now that the Demon Race has long since disappeared, the two of us will depend on each other for survival. If we become stronger, we can unify the Demon Realm and even the entire Three Realms."

After hearing what Guiche said, Luo Hou thought about it seriously. "It's Guiche! "Luo Hou someone said, patting Luo Hou on the shoulder.

"Leave this matter to me. Do you remember the Black and White Wuchang who were responsible for taking Sun Wukong's soul? I sent them down, and no one has discovered them yet. When the time comes, the Black and White Wuchang will be responsible for marking those wronged souls."

"When they are reincarnated, we can go there to find them and make them our own."

After speaking, Luo Hou looked at the Guiche with its sly smile and could only nod helplessly.

Just then, as the two were discussing their conspiracy, Ao Changsheng's words entered their minds.

"You two, stop sneaking around and trying to pull any tricks. If I find out, I'll definitely get rid of you."

Upon hearing Ao Changsheng's words, Luo Hou and Guiche were immediately shocked and terrified. Luo Hou quickly shouted to the sky:

"Don't worry, we definitely won't do anything bad."

Upon hearing Luo Hou's assurance, Ao Changsheng was still somewhat alarmed and said to Old Ancestor Hongmeng.
