Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Sanzang was having a great time on his journey, seeking out every mountain and forest. Whenever he encountered a beautiful female demon, he managed to enlighten her.

Those who followed him received great opportunities.

Those who did not still received grand fortunes.

The former, after being enlightened by him, were sent to the Netherworld for reincarnation as humans, reborn in the Great Qin Empire.

The latter, after being transcended by him, were sent to the Western Paradise; whether they met the Buddha was unknown.

After all, he provided the grand fortune; if they didn't take advantage of it, who could they blame?

Anyway, he only took responsibility for transcending them, and conveniently accepted all their inheritances, including their cultivation levels, and even their bodies.

For example, a certain female rabbit who felt the vastness of the Buddhist Law and wanted to join the Buddhist Sect was properly transcended by Chen Sanzang to the Western Paradise.

He also spiced up her bunny head with some spice, and it turned out to be incredibly delicious.

Riding on a little tiger, Chen Sanzang finally reached the border of the Great Qin Empire, outside Two Worlds Mountain, one day.

Looking at the towering peaks that shot straight into the clouds like five bare fingers, he couldn't help but marvel that the Buddha truly was impressive, worthy of being the former master of the Jie Sect.

"Old Xi, if I don't go up the mountain to pay respects, can I forcibly break this seal to release Little Kongkong?"

The peaks that pierced the sky didn't stir any desire in Chen Sanzang to climb, especially since the five elements mountain was bare and had nothing on it. He wasn't motivated to explore or meet any ladies.

"If you completely transcend Golden Cicada and inherit all his cultivation, you can forcibly break it."

Old Xi probed a bit and discovered that the Five Elements Mountain connected to the earth veins and gathered the Five Elements Power of Heaven and Earth to create a shackle, coupled with the Buddha Seal left by the Tathagata atop the peak, which trapped Sun Wukong.

However, this seal wasn't particularly strong; a Daluo Realm expert could break it with force.

The reason no one released Sun Wukong was mainly because the Buddhist Sect had stationed someone there, and a Daluo expert had no reason to offend the Buddhist Sect.

Considering the bad reputation of the two saints from the Buddhist Sect, if anyone dared to step up for the Monkey, they risked being dragged into the Western Teaching; after all, wasn't the old Jie Sect the biggest victim?

"Damn it, do I really have to climb the mountain to pay respects to the Tathagata? Hmph, today I pay respects to him; tomorrow, I'll make sure he tenfold returns the favor!"

Chen Sanzang muttered to himself in displeasure but didn't immediately start climbing. Instead, he headed toward the place where Sun Wukong was imprisoned.

"Little Kongkong, your Heavenly Destiny teacher has come to recruit you!"

With a staff in one hand and a small wine gourd in the other, Chen Sanzang sat comfortably on the little tiger, drinking wine and chanting Buddhist mantras.

"Oh, a Drinking and Eating Monk has come today? It's been forever since Old Sun had a drink. Give Old Sun a cup to satisfy the thirst."

With the care of the Great Qin Empire, Sun Wukong, though pinned under the Five Elements Mountain, wasn't short of food and drink, except for alcohol.

However, alcohol was delivered sparingly, mainly because the monkey wasn't the most pleasant drunk; he loved cursing the heavens, the earth, and the Buddha when inebriated.

The people of the Great Qin Empire, fearing an entry in Buddha's little black book, rarely provided him with alcohol while serving Sun Wukong.

"Oh, I thought monkeys were all lean and wiry. How did Little Kongkong get so plump?"

Chen Sanzang looked with bewilderment at Sun Wukong, whose half shoulder and head were exposed outside the Five Elements Mountain.

Having seen many versions of Brother Monkey before, it was the first time he saw one so plump, with a monkey face turned into a round ball, full of comedic effect.

"Daily eating, drinking, or lying down for ages without exercise, how could I not gain weight?"

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, rubbing his face, swollen like a bun, full of helplessness.

This accursed Five Elements Mountain not only weighed on him, preventing movement but also sealed his mana.

Even though he could rely on sheer physical strength to painstakingly flip over and lie more comfortably, he couldn't perform exercises to lose weight, could he?

If his mana were not sealed, he could use it to refine away this body fat, but now, he just lay honestly.

He didn't want to reveal his already soaring strength, giving the Buddha reason to prepare.

The grudge from being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain was one Brother Monkey was determined to settle. At the very least, he had to shave off the Tathagata's hair and then polish his head with his staff.

Don't they say you can grind an iron pestle into a needle in the human world?

Brother Monkey wanted to try whether the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle could be ground into a needle on the Tathagata's bald head!

"I see."

Chen Sanzang nodded and then casually took out a Memory Stone from his Storage Ring, activating it with a wisp of mana to record Sun Wukong's current appearance in a 365-degree panorama.

It was rare to see Little Kongkong's persona collapse; recording it to hold as dirt was a fitting move for the scheming Chen Sanzang, wasn't it?

"Damn, you wine-drinking bald donkey, why are you recording? Hand over the Memory Stone to Old Sun, or when Old Sun gets out, you'll be served with a stick!"

Doesn't Old Sun care about his face?

Watching the Drinking and Eating Monk swiftly put away the Memory Stone, Sun Wukong bared his teeth.

But given his current bunlike round face, how could there be any sign of menace?

When trying to appear menacing, he instead gave off an adorably silly and foolish impression.

"Little Kongkong, how about exchanging a Memory Stone for a chance at freedom?"
