Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Why does the Sect Master want to open the Dimensional Gate? Isn't he afraid of bringing great disaster to the Yuan Realm?"

Sun Wukong asked urgently. His reaction was quite normal, as Tang Qiang was even more agitated than him when he first learned the news.

"Brother Zhang, don't be anxious. The Sect Master naturally has his considerations. All of this is for our Primordial Spirit Sect to reach greater heights and go further!"

Tang Qiang smiled and explained, finally making Sun Wukong understand the real reason behind Mu Yin's actions. He also realized why Mu Yin had been so patient all these years, hiding his cultivation and ambitions. It turned out that everything was to completely control the entire Yuan Realm and transcend this Era!

The Three Realms have Epoch annihilation, and so does the Yuan Realm. However, the Epoch annihilation of the Three Realms is carried out by the condensation of the Heavenly Dao into the Eye of the Heavens. As long as the Eye of the Heavens can be slain, the Epoch annihilation can be stopped, successfully extending an Era.

The Yuan Realm is different. Its Epoch annihilation is a subversive change in the Heavenly Dao Laws of the entire Yuan Realm. Even the strongest in the Domain Saint Realm, if they haven't condensed a Divine Core, cannot withstand this change. The physical body will collapse under the new Heavenly Dao Laws after the subversive transformation, leaving not a trace, and the Divine Soul will quickly perish without the physical body as a foundation.

Even the Ancient Heavenly Court, despite its former glory, ultimately turned to ashes at the time of Epoch annihilation. Only the Heavenly Que Realm, independent of the Yuan Realm, was preserved, but all living beings within the Ancient Heavenly Court perished, with none surviving.

Even the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court, who had begun to condense a Divine Core, could only linger in the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm due to unsuccessful full condensation, using the Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance to lure powerful individuals into the Secret Realm, hoping to find a suitable body for possession. However, it was ultimately Sun Wukong who completely destroyed this plan.

The Sect Master of the Primordial Spirit Sect, Mu Yin, the former Great Hall Master of the Primordial Spirit Alliance's Eastern Continent, had long reached the peak of the Domain Saint Realm in cultivation. But he was still unable to condense a Divine Core, and now, tens of thousands of years have passed in this Era, with less than five thousand years until the next Epoch annihilation.

Mu Yin knew very well that with his talent, he probably wouldn't be able to condense a Divine Core before the Epoch annihilation. But he didn't want to be destroyed and perish with the Epoch annihilation. He wanted to continue surviving, and not only that, he wanted to rule the entire Eastern Continent and even the whole Yuan Realm.

Therefore, Mu Yin had been preparing on two fronts. On one hand, he was actively searching for other methods to survive the Epoch annihilation. On the other hand, he was finding geniuses with enough talent to condense a Divine Core, nurturing them, and planning to possess them at the right time.

Sun Wukong was one of Mu Yin's chosen targets for possession, and the most suitable candidate. Originally, Mu Yin planned to wait until Sun Wukong returned from the Heavenly Que Realm, further increased his cultivation strength, and assisted Sun Wukong in attempting to condense a Divine Core while also preparing for possession. However, he didn't expect Sun Wukong to obtain the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance and gain control of the Heavenly Que Realm!

The Great Hall Master Mu Yin didn't tell the truth. Ten thousand years ago, he too entered the Heavenly Que Realm hoping to obtain the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance, but he failed. Although he failed, he realized that the so-called Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance was just a guise; the remnant soul of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor had the same plan to find a suitable powerhouse for possession.

Sun Wukong wasn't possessed, but he gained control of the Heavenly Que Realm. This could only mean one thing: Sun Wukong saw through the falsehood of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance and even eliminated the remnant soul of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor!

Mu Yin realized that his plan to possess Sun Wukong was utterly ruined. Sun Wukong managed to eliminate the remnant soul of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and expose its scam. Naturally, he wouldn't succeed.

So he had no choice but to take the second path.

That is to reveal all hidden strength, gather the powerhouses of all forces in the Eastern Continent, work together to open the Dimensional Gate, connect the Yuan Realm with other Dimensional Worlds, and use the strength of other Dimensional Worlds to avoid the Epoch annihilation!

"This is way too crazy, isn't it?"

Sun Wukong widened his eyes after hearing all this from Tang Qiang. The plan of the Great Hall Master Mu Yin was truly insane. He was betting the lives of all beings in the Yuan Realm!

The Dimensional Gate is different from the Two Realms Passage, as it only connects the Yuan Realm with higher Dimensional Worlds. Mu Yin wanted to leverage the strength of higher Dimensional Worlds, but how could he be sure that the powerhouses of higher Dimensional Worlds wouldn't take the opportunity to control the Yuan Realm?

A Chaos Saint is already one of the topmost existences in the Three Realms, completely standing at the pinnacle of the Three Realms, but they would just be a minor Yuan General in the Yuan Realm. The vast disparity between the Three Realms and the Yuan Realm is the best example.

If the Dimensional Gate were truly opened, wouldn't the strong of the Domain Saint Realm in the Yuan Realm become lowly soldiers in the higher Dimensional Worlds?

The Yuan Realm belongs to the Great Thousand Worlds and is not as fragile as the Little Thousand Worlds like the Three Realms, fully capable of withstanding the true arrival of powerhouses from higher Dimensional Worlds.

If powerhouses from higher Dimensional Worlds seek to plunder or even enslave the Yuan Realm, can things still be as simple as Mu Yin imagined?

It's important to know that once the Dimensional Gate is opened, it cannot be closed again!

He is leading the entire Yuan Realm into a situation of eternal doom!

"Yes, it is indeed crazy! But so what?"

Tang Qiang's face showed a touch of fanaticism, clearly supporting Mu Yin's plan. "As long as our Primordial Spirit Sect can survive the Dimensional Annihilation and continue to exist, we will become stronger and reach higher realms. Once we've grown stronger, we can then reclaim control of the Yuan Realm! Survival is most important. If we're destroyed with the Epoch annihilation, then there's no point in considering anything else!"

Sun Wukong was speechless. He had to admit that there is some reasoning in Tang Qiang's words, but these are considerations from the Primordial Spirit Sect's perspective and at the cost of potentially sacrificing all living beings in the Yuan Realm for their own survival and glory.

Too selfish! Too cold-blooded! Absolutely infuriating!

"Good old Mu Yin, having such a vicious heart! I was really blind before, even considering you a kindred spirit!"

Sun Wukong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. Now that he knew about Mu Yin's sinister plan, he absolutely wouldn't sit idly by!

Just watch, if I don't completely thwart your plan, then I'm not the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong!
